For their second win cf the season, veteran Jim Tobin pitched the Seattle Rain- iers to a 5-4 margin to drop the Angels of Los Angeles out of a first- place tie, while Sacramento beat Hollywcod, 2 to 1, and Oakland advanced to second place in the standings at the expense of Port- land, 2 to 1. |face a five-ye JUNIOR IS BACK WITH BROWNIES Stephens Makes Me;(ican Stay Short One - Inks One-Year Contract ST.
