HEY, ASH, POLLY AND HER PALS ORDER ME SOME ANGELS HAVE SLIGHT LEAD P. (. LEAGUE Los Angeles Still Just Half Game Ahead of Seattle as Both Teams Win | (By Associated Press) The Los Angeles Angels retain a half-game lead in the Pacific Coast League as both the Angels and Se- attle Rainiers won last night. The Angels squeezed out Portland when Jimmy Collins homered. Four Portland twirlers were unable to stop the batting spree although | three Angel hurlers were likewise | touched up. The Angels beat the | Beavers 13 to 12. Paul Gregory earned his 15th vic- tory for Seattle against Oakland. Hunt homered and the game was easy after the tie was broken in the fourth inning. Art Garibaldi answered the pleas of 6,000 fans last night and hom- ered with one on base to pull Sac- ramento’s game out of the fire to enable the team to continue the | winning streak.
