Manager Frank (Lefty) O'Doul picked Larry Jansen for the mound, and his five-hit delivery last night gave the Seals a 6-1 decision over the Sacramento Solons. Los Angeles manager Bill Sween- ey selected’ Red Lynn in hopes of catching up in the pennant chase with the yet-to-be headed Seals, and Lynn held the Portland Beav- ers to four safeties in a 3-0 shut- out. The other two first division clubs, ' third-ranking Osakland and the Aollywood Stars, also fattened their percentages at the expense of sec- cnd-bracket teams. The Oakland Acorns downed the Seattle Rain- N iers, 5 to 2, and Hollywood got an 8-5 decision in a quarrelsome game with the San Diego Padres. RESULTS FRIDAY San Francisco 6; Sacramento 1.
