 It's Bill Weeks turn to laugh now Old Satchel Paige has contributed ian important win to the Cleveland Indians pennant drive. When Veeck, Tribe President signed the ageless Negro pitcher to his first Major League contract on July ', some observers said it was just another of Weeks stunts to keep the turnstiles humming in the forest city.

 The Indians won the first game, 6-l, behind the four-hit pitching of Steve Gromek, to increase their first place margin over the Atm letics to wo-and-0ne half games.

 The up and coming Boston Red SoX took a day-night double header from the Detroit Tigers, 13-l and 3-1.
 Rae Scarborough hurled the Sem ators to a Al seven hit conquest over the last place Chicago White Sox.
 The Boston Braves pulled six games ahead of the runner-up Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League, beating and tying the Chicago Cues while the Pirates split with the New York Giants.

By BILL BECKER

That thud heard around the Coast League today was San Fran cisco's skidding Seals hitting four tn place
 This was a new l94S low for Lef- ty O'Doul'S erstwhile leaders, and it all resulted from a double drub- b.ng the Seals received last night from Los Angeles, 3-1 and 20
 Both the Angels and San Diego, which helped itself to 6-3 and 3-1 wins over Sacramento, clambered over San Francisco San Diego, in fact, jumped to second place just two games back of Oakland, which held firm with a lO-7 conquest of Hollywood.
 That man, Jack Graham, slam med two more out of the park to pace San Diego's twin killing and bring his home run total to 43. This tied the San Diego record posted last year by Maxie West and the season is only 60 percent gone.
 Seattle's Herb Karpel checked Portland with seven hits for a Az victory. The Rainiers, with Tony York's two-run double the pay off, raked Jim Tote for three runs in the fourth to settle the issue. The Beavers held the series edge, however, three-tWo.
