 The results give the Seals a 5'2 game bulge over second place Oak land.
 Seattles Herb Karpei held the struggling Oaks to four hits for a 10-2 win. The Rainiers collect ed 13 blows. punching them for three and five runs. respectively in the third and fifth innings. Hll- lis Layne and Mickey Grasso hon. cred. Oakland committed six er- TOTS.
 The Angels splurged for five unearned runs in the seventh <o heat San Diego 6-3.
 Hollywood returned to its home grounds for a full month, but judging from what Portland did they should have stayed away, the result being a l3-3 Portland win. Winning pitcher Duane Pillette' allowing Il hits. was aided by four double plays.

 "The actions and statements of the Soviet government and it's offi- cial representatives in the United States in the affair of Kasenkina and Samarin fully correspond to the lawful interests of the Soviet Union in defense of it's citizens from criminal infringements on their freedom and civil right" the note said.
 It is apparent that the govern ment of the United States not only does not intend to stop those ac- tions of American administrative authorities by whom such circum- stances-to the degree that Ameri- can police invaded the Soviet con- sulate in New York on August 12-- are being created, but in fact jus tifies such clear violations" (New York police entered the consulate on August 12, the day Mrs. Kasenkina jumped from a third floor window of the build ing.

 Are you joking?" our British friend demanded. Don't you hon. estly knew whats wrong with Mills?'
