OAKS DRIVING ON
 SEALS IN PENNAMT
 RACE IN DC LEAGUE
By BILL BECKER

Oaklands veteran first sacker Nick Etten, has slugged his way into contention in the Coast Leagues home run derby.
 The wartime New York Yankee pounded a homer in each game his 37th and 38th-to lead the Oaks to a double Labor Day win over San Diego, ll-l and 5-1. In a eek-long spree, Etten smashed seven homers in nine games against the Padres, never more than one per contest
 Oakland pulled to within a game and a half of the leading San Franciscoans, who divided with Portland. 9-6 and 9-l0.
 The Oaks got tasty left-handed pitching rom Lou Tost and Char ley Gassaway. Lloyd Christopher, with two homers in the opener, and George Metkocich, with one in the nightcap, helped Etten power the attack. Etten drove in six runs during the way.
 The Seals made 28 hits, l5 in the first game, to give the Beav- CT staff few more pumps. Duane Pillette staggered through in relief to give the Beavers the finale. John Lazor knocked in three runs.
 Third-place Los Angeles woke up to two-time Seattle, 3-2 and 4-3 Dewey Adkins won the open CT with a five-hitter. Cliff Aber- sons homer and single accounted for three Angel runs in the after piece. The double loss dropped Se- attle back to fifth, game behind Portland
 With good pitching from Pinky Woods and Joe Krakauskas, Holly wood beat Sacramento twice, Al and 2-l. Gus Zernars 35th home run decided the second game.

 MAJOR LEAGUES
By JOE REICHLER

They cant catch me when Tn i in front"
 Those words, uttered by Billy Southworth earlier this season, were ringing in the ears of Burt Shotton today as he brought his groggy gang back to Brooklyn.
 The silver-haHed Dodger pilot, home from an ill-fated one-day trip to Boston knows now what South worth meant. He received a first hand illustration yesterday as Billy's league leading Braves drubbed Brooklyn in a Labor Day double header, 2-1 and 40.
 The second-place Dodgers are four games behind Boston and only half game out of fourth place.
 The Dodgers were not alone in their misery The St. Louis Cardi- nals, only two and half games off the pace before yesterdays games, were handed a staggering double de- feat by the Pittsburgh Pirates, 2-l and Al, to fall into fourth place, four and a half games behind. The Pirates advanced a notch to third place, two percentage points in front of St. Louis, and three behind Brooklyn
 The fifth place New York Giants retained an outside chance by sweeping a double header from the Phillies in Philadelphia, 4-3 and 80. They trail by six and a half games,
