SEATTLEIN GREAT RACE,

Rdiniers Have Won Eight Games in 10 Siaris-
 Now in 4th PIaee
By BILL BECKER

(ASS0c ated Press sports Vfltcr) ',
 Los Angeles and Oakland, as eX- pected, still were running one-two in the coast league chase today but all eyes were focused on Scattle's Rainiers.
 The Sureng Suds-they're nam ed for more than that snowcapped peak, you know made it eight wins in 10 starts with a double- header win over Portland Sunday in their marathon series which ends with another twin bill tonight.
 The surprising spree has shot Se- attle from the cellar to the emin- ence of fourth place, 10 games back. With a team of veterans Johnny Fucker, Bob Johnson, Lot, Noyikoff, Manager Jo Jo White, ct al-apparently just beginning to loosen up with the advent of hot weather, Seattle may be a factor from here cn in.
 Rex Cecil turned in a four-hit whitswssh job to win yesterdays first game for the Rainiers, 50, and Johnson and Fucker hit home runs to give Dick Barrett a 5-2 margin in the finale.
 ! Angels League Trimmed
 Los Angeles Angels had their league lead trimmed to four games, splitting with San Francisco, 4-3 and G~2, while the Oaks two-tim- ed Hollywood, 6-5 and l1-7 Sacra- mento took a pair from San Diego, 9-8 and 5-i. to maintain its fourth place tie with Seattle
 The PCLs top lefty, Cnlf Cham bers, registered his 18th win against five defeats for the Angels in the opener, He famed 10. Hom- CTS hy Ed Sauer and Clarence Madden supplies the winning edge. SouthpaW Bill Werle burned the tables cn the Angels with a three hit shutout in the closer.
 Maurice Van Robay's 390-foot single driving in Dario Lodigiani from third in the l1th inning won the opener for Oakland. A six run blast in the sixth sewed up the nightcap, giving the Oaks the ser ies, six games to one. The Oaks and Stars smashed out 55 hits dur ing the two games.

 ROUNDUP
,v HUGH FULLERTON. Jr

By HUGH FULLERTON, Jr.
 NEW YORK, July 21.--tR The Yankees managed to tie the Chicago White Cox record of 19 straight victories before they were stopped last week, but they could not even come close to one record established by the hitless wonders 41 years ago.
 During August, 1906, while the sox were making their record, Big Ed Walsh pitched six shutout games Walsh, who lives in Meriden, Conn, blanked the High flanders (who later became the Yanks), the Red Sox and the Athletics two times each during that one month, giving mp only 24 hits in all
 That is believed to be major league record, though the books don't show it. and just to prove it wasn't a fluke, Big Ed repeated the feat two years later. In 1903 he horse-collared six oppon- ents during September, but was hit more freely
 Nearest thing to those feats was Grover AleXander's four shutouts for the Philliss in August, 1916, the year he hurled 16 scorele-s games.

By JOE REIcHLER

Associated Press Sportswriter)
 Sunday, May 20, may well turn out to be the day when the National League pennant was won or lost.
 It was on that eyentful day at Ebbetts' Field-where the 1946 flag race was decided-that the seven- year-old Dodger- Cardinal fcucl flared anew.
 When the smoke had cleared, Manager Eddie Dyer of St. Louis declared he was playing the game under official protest. Had the Cards won, Dyer undoubtedly would have recalled his protest, but since the Dodgers turned ap- parent certain defeat into a 3-2 victory with a brilliant three-run rally in the bottom half of the ninth inning, the protest took on added importance.
 The Dodgers gained a half game on the second place New York Giants, increasing their margin to three games, when the Giants spit a doubleheader with the Cincin- natl Reds at the Polo Grounds.
 Ewell (The Feb Blackwell, the stringy side-arm singer of the Reds posted his 18th consecutive victory and his 17th of the cam paign in winning the opener for the Reds Al.
 A pair of home runs by Bobby Thompson highlights two big in nings for the Giants and enabled them to win the second game 9-6.
 Detroit's tenacious Tigers kept their slim pennant hopes alive by sweeping both ends of a double header from the American League leading New York Yankees Al and 12-11
 Blasting 16 hits, Pittsburgh routed Lefty Warren Spahn and walloped the Boston Braves 9-l.
 The Chicago Cubs made it l2 victories in l3 games With Phlla- delphia ty defeating the Phi-s twice, Az and 20. The Indians split with Washington at Munic- ipal Stadium The Indians took the nightcap 61. Washington took the first game 10.
 The St. Louis Browns, with the aid of home run hitting, defeated the defending champion Boston Fed Sox twice, 4-3 and 7-6 and t,le Philadelphia Athletics retain cd their fourth place hold by earning split with the White OK in Chicago, winning the sec oad game "A after Chicago had won inc opener G-5.
