Sacramento still leads Portland by one game in the Pacific Coast League pennant race today and the gent largely responsible is a 35- year-old North Carolinan named Ralph Hodgin.
 Hodgin, who milks COWS for 2 living in the off season, made hay at the plate for the front running Sacs last night. He slammed out three hits and drove in five runs, with the big blow coming in the 10th inning when he drilled two run homer to finish the game.
 Sacramento won it, "A, after suc- cumbing to Portland by To in the first half of the doubleheader on the strength of a four-hit performance by the Beavers pitching mainstay Roy -Helser.

CARDINALS USING
 RELIEF HURLER5
 10 CIM(H GAMES
By Associated Press

Marty Marion has eliminated the caste system on the St. Louis Card inal staff. No reliefers, No starters. Just 10 pitchers. Everybody works every day if needed.
 So far it has worked. Tn 32 games, Marion has used a total of 30 pitch CTS. Only II starters of his flu stricken staff have gone the route. Still his Red Birds are perched in a second-place tie with Chicago only 2l2 games off the Brooklyn pace.
 Some managers spend 25 years in .he business and never learn when to yank a pitcher. Marion seems to have mastered it in his freshman year.
 In recent games Marion had the Midas touch with pitchers. Take yesterdays 6-5 win over Boston, for example. He used three reliefers.
 The second one, Tom Poholsky, rolled along, pitching shutout ball until the ninth. With one run in, and men on first and third, Marion yanked Poholsky and called on Ted Wilks. Wilks struck out Roy Harts- field but gave up run when Nlppy Jones fumbled a grounder. Marion called for Max Lanier to
 
 pitch to lefthand- Earl Torg- eson. It worked Torgy flied to Stan Musial for the final out.
 Heads Ruth's Record
 But Marion's magic may be lost in the shuffle if that Brooklyn gang continues to pound those home runs. Gil Hodges hit No. IA, three ahead of Babe Ruth's record pace in l92l, and Bill Cox hammered one with the bases loaded last night in the Dodgers 11-4 romp over Pittsburgh. The victory wound up a success full Dodger road trip through the West. They came home with 2l2- came lead. Even Newcombe lasted all the way for his fourth win
 Sal Maglie skirted 10 Chicago hits for his sixth straight victory TOT the New York Giants, 2-l. on the strength of Monte Irvin's two-run homer off Paul Minner in the fourth.
 KOnstanty Routed
 Cincinnati routed Jim Konstanty in the 10th for a 4-3 edge after the Phils' Dick Sisler hit a homer Ill the top of the inning.
 The Boston Red Sox slugged the battered St. Louis Brownies, l2-o' with Mel Parnell throwing 1our- hit shutout. Every Sox starter ex- cept Ted Williams hit safely in the 16-hit barrage. Williams walked five times.
 Vern Stephens, who tied an Amer ican League record with 10 asslsts at third base, had three Boston hits. So did Lou Boudreau.
 Rain probably saved the league leading New York Yankees for they trailed Detroit, 7-3, when washeo out after three innings. Bad weather also washed out night games between Cleveland ana Washington and Chicago and Phil adelphia.
