Sacs Increase
League Lead,
Padres Lose
BY UNITED PRESS

A week OF lopSlded series today
left the Pacific coast league stand
ings in a tumble.
Sacramento took six out of seven
with Seattle to hold a 4l2- game
lead over San Diego and Hollywood.
Seattle skidded TO fourth place, 5la
games from the lead. Hollywood
took the Los Angeles series, 6-1,
sending the Angels all the way to
the cellar. San Francisco climbed
up to fifth place with a 6-1 series
over Oakland and Portland got from
the cellar up TO sixth place with
4-3 series over San Diego.
Southpaw Al HollingSWorth of
Sacramento saved both games. He
went to the mound in the ninth to
halt a rally and enable the Solons
to win the first game, 81. Again
in the nightcap Hollingsworth took
charge in the fourth inning ana
held the Rainiers scoreless for the
rest of the game as the Solons won,
8-3.
Lowly Portland won its San
Diego series by taking the Sunday
ble-header, SO and 6-3, thereby
jumping out Of the cellar into sixth
place. The Beavers Ad Liska pitch
ed the opening shutout on four hits
as his teammates Rupert Thompson
and Herman Reich got homers.
Johnny Gee and Dick Conger work
ed the nightcap. Portlands margin
of victory came on two dropped
fly balls that scored four unearned
runs in the first inning against
young Al Olsen.
Hollywood took the first game
from Los Angeles, So, but had to
go two extra innings to win the
nightcap 80.
The San Francisco Seals trimmed
Oakland, 81 and 6-3 Larry Jansen
turned in his second win of the
series in beating the Oaks in the
opener. Tony Lazzeri and Brooks
Holder did the heavy slugging for
the Seals in the fifth to bring in
four runs.

Today's Sport Parade

his last few fights he was having
trouble with his eyes. Scores Of
bruising bouts left scar tissue on
his brows and made him what the
fight mob calls "a bleeder.' One
swipe of a glove across that scar
tissue and the blood starts pouring
into the eyes. Too many swipes and
a fighter risks permanent injury
to an eye.
The thought of that risk must
have been in the crowds mind in
the 18th round of Armstrong; last
fight. He had been taking a bad
beating from FritZie Zivic, his face
was cut to pieces and blood was
streaming into his eyes. At the
end of the 10th round Referee Ar
thur Donovan looked at Armstrong;
battered face and told him he
could have one more round in which
to try to win. After that the fight
was going to be stopped Tired and
bloody, Armstrong came out and
knocked Zivic from rope to rope,
from corner to corner in a whirling
sWirling attack for which there was
no defense.
But all his waning energy went
into that round and at the start of
the 18th Zivic began chopping him
to pieces again. Both of Armstrong S
eyes we're swollen shut and he
lurched blindly around the ring
soaking up punishment. That's
when the crowd began worrying
about him and began shouting stop
it, stop it," Donovan did and Zivic
won on technical knockout
Twenty minutes later Armstrong
announced his retirement.
Now he says he's going to Cali
fornia TO get in shape and fight
again.
In short space of time back in
1878 Armstrong came as close
as any boxer can to performing the
| impossible He won the feather
weight title from Petey Sarron, the
Lightweight from Lou Ambers ano
the welterweight from Barney Ross
Who wants TO see that shining
record tarnished-as it will be some
inevitable evening if Armstrong
comes back-by seeing a boy who
couldn't carry Armstrong; gloves
in the days of his greatness kicl
him around the ring?
Won't some kind friend tell Henry
to forget it?

NEW YORK, April % CUP)-This
would be a nice day for one of
Henry Armstrong; friends and
wherever he is he'll find plenty Of
them-to take him into a quiet
corner and say listen, kid, forget
it"
If possible, it should be some
friend who was in Madison Square
Garden on the evening last January
when the great little fighter, blinded
by blood and maybe few tears,
came TO the end Of the road. It
should be somebody who could tell
MIN how bad and how tragic he
looked under the hot lights as a
record-breaking crowd surged down
toward the ring, roaring salute
to his stout heart.
For now it has happened-Arm-
strong is planning comeback.
For what? For Glory? He can't
get any more than he has, for no
other man ever held the world light
weight, WelterWeight and feather
no man ever gave a fight crowd
better run for its money every
time he started. For money? Maybe
yes. but no amount Of money can
compensate for the permanent in
jury that can come TO man whose
legs are losing their drives and
whose eyes are not as sharp as
they once we're. For the sheer love
of fighting? ,Ah, you probably have
something there, for nobody ever
loved to mix it more than the little
Negro and it didn't make any differ
ence whether they were feather
weights OF middleWeights. Three
months in retirement is just about
long enough to give Armstrong that
old urge again.
The sad thing about great fight
ers is that they are the last ones
to admit that they've slipped. There
has been a pitiful parade of then
up the years since jim Jefferies
was persuaded TO come out of re-
tirement TO meet Jack johnson
Most recently, we have seen Tony
/ Canzoneri cut down by Al Davi;
and only because Davis was &
younger, faster man.
Henry Armstrong doesn't have
any business getting into that pa.
rade for very special reason. Ir

BrawIey Points
For Important
CaIexiCo Game

In Ell Centro they were still talk
ing of last weeks baseball upset
over Brawley high, but up Brawley
way, Coach Sheldon Loughborough
and his charges were looking for
ward to what may amount to a
title game against Calexico in the
border city this weekend.
Brawley prepped for the meeting
with Calexico by dropping a 1913
decision TO Yuma in the Arizona
city on Saturday afternoon. Errors,
according to Loughborough, paved
the way for the Yuma victory.
Loughborough planned to send
Martin Navarro against the Ca
lexico nine in this weeks game,
and Coyington will counter with
Ralph Samaha, the youngster who
set down El Centre with three hits
here ten days ago.

Cleveland Indians this season it
was the underha ders' ninth

beating the Indians out of the
American league pennant last sea-
son. He trimmed them on five
occasions. He was the only hurl-
er to beat the tribe more tha, J
twice. Auker also won l6 games
during the le4O campaign. Not bad
for a pitcher who was discarded by
two clubs.
