 Pinky Higgins and Rudy York, a couple of Detroit has-heens, are two big reasons why the Boston Red Sox are 10 games out in front in the American League and shoo- in if they can play 500 ball the rest of the way.

SEATTLE, June 12.-Bald Bill Skiff, the quiet little man from New Rochelle, N. r., was on the baseball beach today and coach Eddie Taylor was handling the Seattle Rainiers as the front of- flee searched for a new manager for the Pacific Coast League cellar club.
 The first game without Skiff was a 2-1 win over Los Angeles last night.

 Tofchy Torrance, Rainier Vice President, said the club was try ing to contact Sacramento officials concerning White but several oth- CTS, not named, were also being considered for the job.

lBY rnN AssocIArEp parssl

Veteran Dick CKewpie) Barrett, who has had as many ups anl downs as any pitcher in the Pa cific Coast Baseball League, threw in the law of averages today as an explanation of his latest misfor- tunes from the tanned bats of the San Francisco Seals who last night defeated Portland To.
 The hard-luck hurler held the Seals to three hits last night while his teammates were collecting six but tcok a beating on an unearned run. The Seals victory moved them within a game of the leading Oak land Accrns, beaten in 10 innings, 6 to 3, by the Sacramento Solons
 A tight pitching duel produced To victory for Xavier Rescigno and the Hollywood Stars over the Padres of San Diego.
 Playing their first game after the release of Manager Bill Skiff, the Seattle Rainiers reversed the recent pattern and edged out the Los Angeles Angels, to l, for their first win in seven games. Glenn Elliott limited the Angels to two hits.
