."BIG JIM IS w IN NER FOR
 BANNERS, B.
(By the Associated Press)

Jim Wilson of Seattle is the first pitcher in the Pacific Coast circuit to register his 2Oth victory.
 Big Jim, who won Is in a row until Hollywood stopped him, crowded into the select and other wise unoccupied niche last night by disposing of the power-laden Oak land Acorns at Emeryville, 8 to l. Wilson took all the zing out of the Oakland bats, and set Charley Dres- sens marauders down with four scattered hits. Seattle batted Hank Behrman out in the first inning.
 It was Seattle first win in four games of the series.
 San Diego stayed Tn second place by outlasting Los Angeles in a slug fest, 9 to 8; Hollywood clipped Port land, to 3, and San Francisco nosed out Sacramento, to o.
 Hollywood, held hitless by Port lands Cal McIrvin for four innings, broke loose for six hits in the fifth and scored four runs. McIrvin left the premises with three runs in, the bases loaded and two out. The Stars got another run off reliefer Jack Greet. Aside from the fifth, Hollywood put only three men aboard, and all were erased by double plays.
 San Diego, seemingly beaten as it came to bat in the seventh, scored five runs and chased Los Angeles hurler Booker McDaniles. The bor- der club banged two more runs in off Bob Muncrief in the eighth. Jack Graham's fourth single drove in the winning counter. Los Angeles Clar- ence Maddern hit grand slam homer in the top of the seventh. It was the fourth straight win for the Padres over the naples Angels.
 San Francisco's Cliff Melton gave Sacramento only five hits. But Orval Grove almost matched him pitch for pitch. Joe Grace got lucky hit for the Seals in the sixth, the ball hit ting a pebble and bounding high over second. Ray Orteig singled to left and shortstop Jack Conway slashed a double down the left field n only run.

NO HITTER HURLED BY
 DI(kF0RD
(By the Associated Press)

(By the ASSOclateQ PreSS)
 Vern Bickfords no-hitter yester- day, first in the majors since 1948, may be the spark to ignite another pennant fire in Boston. He beat Brooklyn, TO
 Bickford, once No. man behind Johnny Sain and Warren Spahn, can hold his own with the best, giving Billy Southworth a strong l-2-3 pitching punch.
 The Bickford story is familiar. How the Braves won him on the flip of coin while dividing some Indi- annapolis farm hands with Pitts burgh.
 This, of course, was his best major league game. Walking only four, the 29-year-old righthander allowed but one man to reach second base.
 Brooklyn, whose Rex Barney pitched the last previous no-hitter against New York, Sept. 9, 1948, was the victim.
 Carrying a TO lead into the ninth last night, Bickford wavered mo- mentarily. He walked pinch hitter Jim Russell. After retiring Pee Wee Reese, he walked Gene Hermanski. Russell thus became the first Dodger to reach second base. After Duke Snider curled long foul drive into the leftfield corner, he rapped a double play ball to shortstop Buddy Kerr to end the game.
 Clip Phirs Lead
 The Braves clipped full game off the Phils' lead when New York's Sal Maglie knocked off the pace settlers, 3-1. Al Dark's two-run homer and an inning of wildness by soldier Curt Simmons gave the Giants their 18th win in their last 2l- games.
 Ewell Blackwell, flashing his 1947 form, held the Cardinals to four hits and left them in fourth place, 6i2 games behind the Phils. The lean Cincinnati righthander was helped to to ? victory by Ted Kluszewski, who slugged two doubles and a single.
 Chicago handed Pittsburgh an- other loss, 3-1, with Frank Hitler copping his third in row.
 Everybody fattened up on the second division clubs in the Ameri- can except Detroit and Boston. The Tigers were held to a doubleheader split at St. Louis and lost ground all around.
 A'THa Detroit In Win
 Dizzy Trout bested Ned Carver for a Detroit win in the 43 opener when Don Lenhardt dropped throw on possible double play ball in the 10th inning.
 Outfielder Kenwood cut down to consecutive runners at the plate in the second game, won by the Browns 2-1. Although he held St. Louis to five hits, Hank Borowy lost his first start at Tiger.
 Cleveland moved to within three games of Detroit by showing across two runs in the ninth to edge Chi cago, 3-2. Ray Boone's single drove home Allied Clark with the winning run for Mike Garcia.
 Joe DiMaggio rode the bench for the first time in his career and his sub, Cliff Mapes, hit a seventh in- ming homer that gave New York a 7-6 edge over Philadelphia. The Yankee clipper was benched by Manager Casey Stengel who said he was dead tired" DiMaggio has missed many games because of in juries but this was his first bench ing.
