 Twice the O'Douls were trailing, cut both times they roared back to square the series at a game apiece.
 . The Los Angeles Angels, keepers oi the league dungeon, had Oakland gasping for breath until the ninth inning, but they couldn't withstand an Acorn uprising which produced two runs, and won the ball game, to 5.
 At Sacramento, where the battle for third place is in progress, the Solons made it two in row over the Seattle Rainiers, winning 9 to 2. Joe Grace's double highlighted Sacramentos six run fourth inning, with Charley Schanz the victim.

ROCK COMES BACK. IN FUSARI MATCH
 BUT ONLY IN 10TH

NEW YORK, Sept. 15-lRl-The Rock is back on the victory road. Not the Rocky Graziano of old but still the most exciting fighter to watch ill the ring today.
 For nine rounds against Charlie Fusari in the Polo Grounds last night, it locked like the Rock was through. He was trailing on every scorecard and it seemed only a tenth round knockout could save him.
 Then it happened-the explosive burst that the crowd of 3l,092 had teen waiting for all night.
 A left hook suddenly connected and Fusari reeled from mid-ring to the ropes. A right, then another, and then a rain of blows that draped Fusari over the ropes and then to the floor for count ot nine.
 Like a tiger smelling blood, Rocky tore alter FuSarl.
 The crowd was on it's feet, roar ing for the kill. But referee Ruby Goldstein had seen enough. He pulled the snarling Graziano from his victim and declared the Rock the victor at 2:04 of the last round.
 He shouldn't have stopped it." walled Fusari.
 The 24-year old Jerseyite, stop ped for the first time in his career, lost nothing in defeat.
 He was outweighed 12 pounds 1892 to 47l4by one of the 'fiercest punchers in the game-and except for the one mistake was the Better fighter.
 The three officials all had Fusari in front for nine rounds.
