 The Pacific Coast League-leading Seattle Rainiers, boasting a six game bulge after taking four out of five from their nearest challeng- CT, Hollywood. began road trip last night against San Diego, CO., sharer of the basement with the San Francisco Seals.
 San Diego has shown evidence of being on the upgrade but the less of their team batting leader, Clarence Maddern, to the Cleveland Indians will not help them through any clutches against Seattle, which hasn't dropped series since early June. - ...--. .....--..... --..---.------.- -.---
 Hollywood, trying to repair its fences and be ready for the next "crocshial" against Seattle in the cinema capital next month, is home for nine-game stay and entertains Oakland tonight

DeddIoeked Americans Meet for Fray
Schedule Maker a
 Genius = Next Seven Games Will Tell Tale
By The Associated Press

Attention Will Harridge, Pres ident of the American League:
 How about handing a bonus to the fellow who made out that dream turnstile schedule?
 Either the bcy is blessed with un- canny foresight or else he is just plain lucky. How else could he have mapped out schedule that brings together the four top teams today and right on through the next scv- en games?
 Specifically, the pace-setting Yankees and the red hot Cleveland Indians battle it out for the league lead today, tomorrow and Thurs day At the same time, the Boston Red Sox, tied with the Indians for second place. slug it out with the fourth-place Chicago White Sox.
 Comes Switch
 On Friday they switch, Chicago comes to the Yankee Stadium for a four-gam series while Cleveland travels to Boston for a three-game set at Fenway Park. Is that top notch schedule making or not?
 Today's Card-Pitts-N York s Vic Raschi 13-6) against Cleve- lands Early Wynn Q0-O and Chi cago's Howie Judson (4-2) against Boston's Maury McDermott (5-5) or Leo Kiely (2-0).
 The Yankce-Indians game is an afternoon affair. The Red Sox and White Sox clash under the lights. At present, only two percentage points separate the Yankees from the deadlocked Indians and Red Sox. The Yankees are playing .609 ball, the Indians and Red Sox .6G7.
 All four managers are optimistic, even Paul Richards of the sagging White Sox.
 Not Discouraged
 Although dismayed by four straight losses to Washington which knocked his men out of first place into the bottom of the first div ision, Richards was far from dis couraged.
 Look" he pointed out. "We lost 10 out of 14 at home. Yet we fell only two and half games behind the others"
 Only one game was played in the majors yesterday and that was a real slugfest. The Boston Braves nipped the Pirates. 15-14, under the lights at Pittsburgh. The Brave scored the winning run in the eighth when Roy Hartsfield singled pinch runner Sibby Sisti home Ralph Kiner hit his 25th homer for Pittsburgh.
 The National Leagues eastern teams swing into the west today with Brooklyn holding an BIZ game lead. The Dodgers open at Chicago.

Hard-Punching Smith
Likely Fayorite Over
HeinboId Tomorrow \

Gene Smith of Washing a
little man with big punch, prob
ably will be the favorite tomorrow
night when he goes against Cow
boy Proctor Heinhold of Oklaho-
ma in the 10-round featherweight
feature at Turner's Arena. This
will be Genes first test at 10
rounds, and Heinhold is a veteran
of more tran 100 fights; but
Smiths speed and power appear
to give him an edge.
Smith, who weighs well under
the featherweight limit of 1876
pounds. packs a punch worthy of
a much heavier ringman. He has
had only 20 professional fights
and won 18 by knockouts.
He already has been called on
to show his wares in New York
and about a month ago knocked
out Johnny Carr there. He hurt
his left hand in the bout and the
injury forced postponement of his
match with Heinhold, originally
scheduled three weeks ago.
Indications are that 'Heinhold
will force Smith to go the full
10 rounds. The Oklahoman has
been stopped only once in his
career and that by Featherweight
Champion Sandy Saddler. Helm
holds experience also is a factor
in his favor, but at % he might
be bit too slow for the youthful
and enthusiastic Smith. Smith
himself is hoping for bout soon

won the opening three bouts, the
Cavaliers dropped the next three
