They got 13 hits off Scribner Webber. San Diego cut Sacramento’s lead to six and one-half games by de- feating the Solons'in the crucial series opener. The Padres batted around in the first inning to drive Tony Frietas to the showers. Oakland capitalized on San Fran- cisco's mis-plays to register a tri- umph. Tom Seats was the losing pitcher, the victim of shoddy sup- port. Three of Oakland’s runs were due to errors. Hollywood nosed out Los Angeles last night on four runs in a sev- cnth inning rally.

Over it all presides “Johnny” Groves, a World War veteran who still looks like an only slightly older edition of the Maryland U. football star he was 20-odd years ago. If you ask “Johnny” what thinks about National Airport, he answers, “Some plant,” but the way he says it, you would think he was a June bridegroom moon- ing over the one-and-only.
