RESULTS YESTERDAY Oakland 2; San Francisco 0. San Diego 5; Portland 3. Hollywood T; Sacramento 4. Les Angeles 2-1; Seattle 0-0.
fBY THE ASSOCIATED pRrss'


 The Oakland Oaks, victors twice in row over the top pitching tal- ent of the leading San Francisco Seals, today had only one more victory to go to reach the top of the Pacific Coast Baseball League ladder.
 With pitching that shaded the Seal effcrts, the Oaks shut out the fading pace-makers 20 last night, administering the first blanking suffered by the Seals since July 4.
 The third-place Los Angeles An gels crept up to 15 games behind the leaders on a doubleheader vic tory. 20 and To, over the Seattle Rainiers. A pair of four-hit hurling jobs, by Charlie (Red) Adams in the opener and Bill Fleming in the afterpiece, accomplished the twin shutcuts. Barney Olsen homered in the sixth after the Angels had put over their first run in the third frame of the first game. The sec- cnd-game marker was unearned.

Pennanf Victory Last Night Clouded by Protest
 on Creek Swat

Last nights ball game was play ed before capacity crowd and was won eight to five by the American Legion nine to capture a Channel Championship clouded by protest.
 For the Amlegs, Jensen and Rolf son teamed up to pitch game in which they allowed ten hits, struck cut three and walked two.
 For the Elks, Maxie Lewis, pitch ing in his fourth game in five days allowed II hits; striking out three, and allowing two free passes.
 At the plate for the Legion, Jen- sen got three for four For the Elks, Moscrip was the big gun, also get ting three for four, one being a home run over center and the other the play which is being protested.
 The formal protest, filed by the Elks. states that the ball was hit over the rocks in center field If the ball hit on the infield side of the rocks and bounded over it was only a double. But if it cleared the rocks it was home run.
 The ball, when brought back into the park by the chaser was wet, proving beyond a doubt that it did go into the creek. Whether it bounced on the field side, or on the far side of the rocks in right field  being the deciding factor
 Also alluded to in the protest was an incident ill the final inning when, at the demand of the batter a new ball was brought into play Legion pitcher Rolison sat down at home plate and used dirt to take the gloss off the new ball. While this was violation of the rules it would not have any direct effect on the outcome of the game, ani consequently was referred to as a violation and not as protest.
 President w. A. Holzheimer this morning would make no decision, before checking with umpire Grum- melt and getting the complete facts on the case. But he stated he would make an announcement as soon as he had made a decision.
 Credit goes to Jim Rolison for pitching himself out of a deep hole in the last inning. With the bases full of tieing runs and no one out, he struck out two batters and the last hitter flied out to center field.

Charge for Bathing
 At Lakewood Opposed

Alderman William V. Gerardi, (R) complained at meeting of the aldermanic board last night that North End residents are being dis criminated against by the city be- cause the Park Department charges for bathing at Lakewood. It is the only swimming spot operated by the city where charges are made, he pointed out.
 In reply, Alderman James M. Lynch. (D). member of the Board of Park Commissioners, said that the city had expended a large sum to restore the bathhouse at Lake wood and that there are other ex- penses, including salaries for life guards. Mir. Lynch said he would like to see free swimming at Lake wood but the Park Board felt fees necessary.
 MT Gerardi retorted that the city has life guards at swimming places other than Lakewood but no fees are charged elsewhere. Then, on motion of Alderman Lynch, MT. Gerardi was appointed a committee of one to bring his complaint be- fore the Park Commissioners.
 Uniform Allowance
 The Gerardi-Lynch exchange was one of several among the Aldermen at last nights meeting
 Alderman Burton H. Walker (Rl, inquired if the Board of Fire Com missioners had ever received a letter from the American Federation of Labor asking that an allowance for uniforms be given fremen. His ques- tion was referred to Alderman Ed ward Lasky fDt, member of the Fire Board for reply at the next meet ing.
 Alderman Lasky and Alderman Thomas F. Brennan (R1, had verbal set-to over Fire Department safety equipment. MT. Lasky filing a report on a study of a complaint by MT Brennan. said that he and other fire commissioners had toured the city's engine houses and found equipment in splendid condition. Particular attention was given the training tower and equipment at the East Main Street house, he said, and life nets were given working tests.
 Mir. Brennan eountered by saying his original charge had been that the life nets weren't being used in training and that some trucks were without them. He said he had seen ladder trucks with no safety nets. Wage Increases Questioned Alderman Peter J. Ward (Dl, < j -I,, . given employees of the Street De- partment but not to workers in the Water Bureau. Alderman Martin Tehan CD), Public Works Board member, said he had no knowledge of the wage situation.

New Party
 To Be Allied With MeLevy

Better and more representative government was described as the aim Of the neWly-formed Taxpayers Good Government Party by two of its spokesmen during the Water bury Democrat Forum of the Air program broadcast over Station WATR last night Speakers were Anthony Martino. chairman. and Attorney Frederic c. Smedley.
 The broadcast was one of a series arranged by The Democrat to af- ford all political parties an oppor- tunity to explain their goals and purposes. J. Maxim Ryder, gen. eral manager of the newspaper, acted as moderator.
 MT. Martino hinted broadly at an alliance of the new party with Bridgeport Mayor Jasaper McLevy $ Socialist Party forces. At one point he said: We seem to speak the same language and their objective is similar to ours.
 Prior to the broadcast, Chairman Martino also indicated an endorse ment of Mayor McLevv's party, say ing: We have decided to cast our lots in together.
 The Taxpayers Good Govern ment chairman said that petitions seeking places on the battot for his partys nominees will be circulated beginning Friday Announcement of candidates is to be made the night before
