TWO H0MER5 IN
 ONE INNING MADE
 BY OAKS PLAYER
By BILL BECKER

Oakland's Les Scarsella-with two home runs in one inning has clubbed his way into the Pac- fife Coast League record books.
 Scarsella's big blows accounted for five of the II runs Oakland scored in the third inning enroute to a l4-6 win last night over Port land
 Big Scars feat duplicated the performance of Gus Zernial of Hollywood two months ago. It's the first time the rare trick has been pulled twice in one PCL season.
 But Oakland failed to gain on leading San Francisco. The Seals stayed three games in front by taking their third straight from San Diego, 6-2.
 Mickey Rocco banged his 23rd homer and Gene Woodling his l4th to give Al Lien his eighth win.
 Sacramento upended Los Angeles twice, 3-1 and TO.
 Seattle's Dick Barrett checked Hollywood, Al on eight hits tor his 18th win. Tony York hit a two- run homer for the Rainiers.
 The short series winners and their margins: San Francisco, 3-0; Sacramento, 3-l; Seattle. 3-2; Oak land and Portland split, 2-2.

dangerous and unpredictable at the plate, caught on with the stick for a double and Smithberg and Hagerup crossed the plate as Ty- vol tore up the grass near the out field fence when searching for the ball Lawrensen then singled and brought Selmer home, but was caught for the first out at sec- end Phelps came in for the final run when Forsythe was tossed out at first, and Holloway lost the first base race when Nielsen made the play with Metcalfe.
 3 Up Down
 It was, three up and three down for the Legion in the first of the fifth when Metcalfe popped up to right field, Brown flew out to Forsythe. and Billy Orme grounded out at first
 In the last of the fifth, Hagerup rammed home another thorne in the Legion side when he scored for the third time. Although going hitless, and officially never having been at bat, Hagerup three times made first on a walk and made 1t safely home for a counter in each case. Figuratively speak ing, no further damage was done to the score board, but Jerry Ma gorty forced the board tenders to abandon their post when he hounc- ed a fly ball off the fourth inn ing numerals.
 Ed Nielsen, having fallen way off his batting in the past few games, removed any doubt that he was still mean man with the stick when he stepped up in the fifth and clubbed out his second homer of the season. And that proved to be the final Legion bid during the game, as Cope and Mo- tar took their stands and went down for the second and third outs
 The Moose went scoreless in the last of the sixth; the Legion re- peated the process in the first of the seventh, and that was the ball game.

WOMEN, NOT MEN,. TAKE TOP h0N0R5
 OLYMPIC GAME5
By TED sM1rs

Unlike Olympic games of the past,
 no single dominant hero is emerg- ing in l948-and women's name
 will lead all the rest. When Nal Whitfield finished
 third in the 400 meter run, the last
 man with chance to become a
 double winner in track lost out. | So it is woman's Olympics-Mrs. Fannie Blankers-Koen and Niche inc Ostermeyer in track already have two gold medals and can win more, and Mrs. Victoria Draves and
 Karen Harup in swimming are on the way.
 The only man who has come close l to two single victories excluding the relays-is Arthur Wint of lama ica,i who was close second to Whit field of the United States in the 300, and who won the 400 in :462, up- setting not only Whitfield but fa-
 yored Herb McKenley of Jamaica as well.
 | Yesterdays lack of American track winners was compensated for by smashing victories by five American shells in the Thames rowing and pr.
 Sammy Lees championship in high diving.
 Ann Curtis of the University of California won her semifinal heat in the Olympic 400-meter women's free style swimming competition to- day in five minutes, 26.4 seconds. Brenda Helser of Los Angeles was second in the heat won by Miss Cur 1 tis. Her time was 5:28.1. Emil Grunig of Switzerland scored l,l2O points out of possible l 200 today to win the Olympics' 300- meter full bore free rifle cham pionship.
 Americas best showing was made
 by Emmet G. Swanson of Minnea-
 polls, who registered 1,O79 points to
 finish tenth.

 9-2 LAST NIGHT;
 BOUNCE TO THIRD

It's matter of record that Stan ley spent great deal of time searching for Dr. Livingston in the cloudiest of dark Africa, but his task was a minor detail when stacked alongside the problem of league President Mullaney last eve- ming. Mullaney wasn't on the trail of an unfortunate lost in the jungle, hut he found the going just as rough when he undertook to round up two umpires for the Moose-Legion game. And only af- : ter securing the complete ball park and harbor area did he find two

 Both teams went scoreless for the first inning and a half, but the
 Moose opened in the last of the i seccnd to bring in two runs for a lead they never lost.
 The two run lead began to form when Notar dropped Cope's peg to third and allowed Vuille to make
 the base. Hagerup then walked and stole second as Smithberg fam ned for the second out. SelmeI then went to the plate, had two strikes against him, and was wait ing for the next pitch when Vuille headed for home with sprint CTS pace as the pitcher wound ur for the delivery. By almost per feet timing of the play. Vuille was net five feet from the plate when Selmer caught on for single into right field. After Vuille had scored, Brown fired the ball to the plate to head Hagerup off but the attempt was unsuccessful
 when Cope let the ball bounce away from his glove. Selmer was , caught attempting second sack steal for the third out.
 The Legion went down in quick
 order in the third when MacDon- aid and Bill Orme were tagged out in double play. With two men down and Lawrensen on sec ond in the last of the third, the Moose increased the mounting lead
 to four runs when Holloway and
 Magorty singled.

 run in the fourth when Cope scored after Vuille missed Jim
