The San Francisco Seals reacneu
the Fourth of July deadline a half
game ahead OF the San Diego Pad
res in Pacific Coast league stand
+ ings. and would have been another
game to the good had the Padres
not stalled the finale of a Sunday
doubleheader into 3-3 deadlock
after losing the opener 9-4.
Oakland jumped into third place,
H. games off the pace, by defeat
ing Portland twice, IL and 81.
Seattle took over fourth, two games
behind the Seals, by trimming Los
Angeles twice. Al and 40, winning
the latter game on the two-hlt
pitching of Glenn Elliott. Sacra-
mento won the opener from Holly
wood 80 but dropped the night
cap 2-1.
KEEP AT BATTING SPREE
After tieing up the seyen-inning
finale with San Diego at 3-3 in the
seventh, the Seals continued bat
ting spree in the eighth, fighting
against a 5:45 pm. time limit. The
Padres, angered by close decision
and the election of three players
for arguing, let the Seals bang
across four runs, and showed no
signs of attempting to put out the
side until the umpires were forced
to call the game and revert TO the
3-3 score. Bill Werle hurled the
Seals to their 9-4 win over frankie
Dasso in the opener that ended
San Diegos one day stay on top of
the perch. The series went to San
Diego, A.
Flcyd Stromme twirled five-hit
ball to give Oakland an easy II
win over Portland in their opener,
but the Acorns were forced to go
three innings overtime to take the
nightcap, 2-l. Singles by Chet Ros-
enlund and Les Scarsella did the
trick, handing Cotton Pippen the
win over Marino Pieretti and giy-
ing the Oaks a 4-3 series victory.
RELIEF HURLER PERFORMS
Glenn Elliott, Seattle relief hurl-
er. drew his first starting assign
ment in the nightcap at Los An
geleS and set the Angels down with
two hits in seven innings while the
Rainiers were getting four runs and
six hits off Jodie Phipps, another
first-starter who recently rejoined
the Angels. Seattle had to go ten
innings to win the inaugural, push
ing across two runs in the overtime
to give Hal Turpin the decision over
Don Osborn. Seattle took the series
4-3.
Guy Fletcher handed Hollywood
a four-hit shutout as Sacramento
made three runs on six hits off Earl
Escalante, one a homer by Mel Ser
afini. The TWinks came back to
win the nightcap, 2-1, chalking up
both runs in the seventh on singles
by Ken Richardson and Jim Hill
and a double by Cell Jones. John

BY ED EMERY

SAN FRANCISCO, July 3. (UP)-
The West Coast professional foot
ballers are putting the gridiron
sport into the headlines early this
wear. with San Francisco clubs of
the two rival leagues leading the
tom-tom beating by trying to sign
up Pop Warner and Stub Allison as
coaches of the paidto-play boys.
First it was j. A. (Foghorn) Muir
ply and Ken Wahl, San Francisco
franchise owners for the newly or
ganized America n Professional
Football league headed by jerry
Giesler, who opened negotiations
to entice Allison away from Univer-
sity of California.
OFFER $4,000
Not to be outdone, Frank Ciraolo
and the San Francisco Packers OF
the already existing Pacific Coast
Professional Football league tried
to rout elderly Pop Warner out CT
his Palo Alto retreat with $4,000
year offer, but the former STAN
ford wizard decided he isn't inter-
ested in professional football.
Allison is slated to talk over a
similar big money deal with Muir
phv and Wahl this week, but 1t is
doubtful if the Stubber will leave
his berth at California for a fling
with the pros.
TENTH SEASON
This will be Allison'S tenth sea-
son as head coach of the Golden
Bears, and his fourteenth as
member of the California coaching
staff. While things are tough for
the collegiate moneymasterS, the
Berkeley institution is still a going
gridiron concern-thankS to navy
and marine traineeS on the campus
and there is no need for Allison
to seek cover.
The eight-team American league
is busy organizing up and down the
coast, but the older pro outfit does
net intend to be caught mapping.
Ed Storm of the San Diego BomberS
reports his leagues five California
teams will have all the eligible
players signed and sealed before the
newcomers get into action. Could
be: there can't be TOO many talented
gridders left, and Allison will prob
ably look into that before he con-
siders jumping into the pro ranks.
