by The Associated Press

by The Associated Press Hollywood can't quite grab the top spot in the Pacific Coast league from Seattle to- night.
 But if the Stars win their game with Los Angeles they'll be bare thousandth (.001) of a point behind the Rainiers, who are idle. Hollywood took up a lot of slack yesterday by beating San Diego twice 6-2 and 80, while Seattle dropped two to Los Angeles 6-5 and 2-1
 In other games Sacramento and San Francisco traded shut outs, $40 for the Solons in the opener and 3-0 for the Seals. Oakland took doubleheader from Portland GA and 5-2.

Sports TruiI

made on the field despite a gen
 eral impression that the only
 thing the front office ever mis-
 sed possibly was train, which
 couldn't play shortstop anyway We have a great admiration
 for George Weiss, the general
 manager, as a judge of playing
 talent and as a shreWd trader,
 but we think he would lbe the first to admit mistakes have
 crept into his calculations now and then.
 We don't believe. for instance that he would have included Bill Virdon Iin the deal for Enos Slaughter in 1854 if he had realized the potentialities of the young outfielder. Virdon came up through the Yankee chain, and was considered ex- pendable, inasmuch as the Van kee outfield appeared pretty we'll set.
 We'll, Virdon, at recent check was hitting abtut .268 for the Cardinals, had knocked in 61 runs, and Init Us home runs. He might very we'll be the Nation al League Rookie of the Year. He'd be "a pretty handy guy for Casey Stengel to have around, even if he didn't play regularly
 The deal that possibly hurt the most right now was that which sent Jackie Jensen to far pastures. He went to Washing ton in 1852 in multiple player transaction in which Irv Noren appeared to be the key man.
 Noren has performed well for the New York club, but Jen sen has been even better with the Red ISox, who acquired him late in 1853. He is leading the lelague in runs batted in with nearly 1OOs and generally has been doing his share to keep the Boston club a contender.
 Vic Power is another the Yan kees eprobably would just as soon not mention out loud. He is another Yankee farm product who never was given a chance with the parent club before he was transferred to the Athlet- ics as just a number in another big deal possibly prompted by the Yankees desire to acquire Ed Robinson and Harry Byrd. Power is playing sensational ly at first Ibase for the Kansas City club, is second in league hitting at ,315, and at a late look had driven in 61 or SD runs Jim Greengrass plodded thr- ough the Yankee farm system until he was ready to come up, when he was shipped to the Gin cinnati Redlegs in the deal in which Ewell Blackwell was the key man.
 'Greengrass, although ailing much of the time this season, last year hit 27 home runs and drove in 95. He'd Ibeo'another handy guy for Stengel to have pinch hitting, if nothing else, when in good health.
 Jim F'inigan, a ripe peach from the Yankee farm, went to the As in the same deal in which Power was involved, and without wearing a Yankee uni ! form. He's been playing some fine second base for Kansas City, and although his sbatting
 average is only about .252 he's
 rapped in 62 runs.
 1 Gene Woodling was sent to
 Baltimore in the deal for Bob
 Hurley. The stocky outfielder,
 now with the contending In
 dians, has been hitting the balH
 at a lively clip after a slow

The start which mas DeeIl made on repatriation, of Ann erican civilians from Red China brings closer the time when the two countries will begin negotiations on policy matters.
 The United States has said' she will not begin broader dis cussions until the Americans are out. There seems a good chance, however, that if repat- rlation shows a pattern of stea- dy progress the United States will not hold out until the last person is out.
 At that point Peiping will be gin to test major American pol icies, among them the objec- ton to United Nations mem bership for the Red regime, the trade embargo, and support of Nationalist China.
 In return. the United States will be prirnarily interested in making some progress toward reunification of Korea, and in seeking a Chinese promise not to use force while settlements are sought on the problems of Formosa and Southeast Asia.
 The talks at Geneva between ambassadorial representatives will be directed, on the part of China, at arranging for later negotiations at a higher level, probably between Chou En-Lai and secretary Dulles. The Uni ted States, on the other hand. will be in no hurry to arrange such conferences until there is some assurance that they will not merely be a prolongation of disagreement.
 Since the Geneva discussions will ibe slow in resutn1i1lg, and since they can be no more than preliminary at best, admission of Red China to the U. N. is ! an academic question for this years general assembly.
 Although some of the small 1 CT and neutralist nations would ] like to go ahead as a counter gesture while the communists are conducting operation cot operation" the United States and other large powers will l stick to the theory that Red China must first be absolved, through her own deeds. of the label of aggressor.
 As for the chances of settle ments of the issues themselves there seems little hope of any thing soon except a relaxation of the trade embargo. It was i'm posed as a war measure when he Reds intervened in Korea, and has been continued as deterrent to further Chinese military adventures.
 But since the Reds are mak- ng no military moves at the''
