THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE— JUNEAU, ALASKA PICK OAKS AS WINNER, P.C. LEAGUE (By The Associated Press) The Pacific Coast League, known for its leng wind, goes into the final fortnight of a 188-game schedule with the chase narrowed down to Oakland and San Fran- cisco. Oakland, leading by a half-length | turning into the two-week stretch, it in a good spot to run away from the Seals, strong pre-season favorites who led most of the way. Oakland faces sixth-place San Diego in a seven-game series to start tonight, and follows with last-place Sacramento. The Seals, meanwhile, will have to wade through both Portland and Seattle —who are in the midst of a hoi battle for fourth and a playoff berth. That could spell plenty of real trouble for Seal hopes. In the lone PCL ¢tontest last night, Los Angeles defeated Port- land 5-4, to drop the Beavers into a virtual tie with Seattle. ever, Seattle has a minute edge, if you care to carry decimals out to four places. The Angels won the series, 6-3. In ather series starting to- night, the Angels shift to Seattle, and Hollywood entertains Sacra- | mento in another basement bar- gain.

Burr Shotten brought his Brook- lyn Dodgers into the lair of the New York Giants over the week- eqd for a four-game series and left the cigar box with only one ‘victory, ’Ifhe high-flying Pittsburgh Pir- ‘ates showed up last night boast- ing a seven game winning streak and Lippy Leo Durocher’s fence- ‘kusters cooled them off, 5-2. By knccking off the pursuers of the front-running Boston Braves, the Giants themselves are sticking very much in the running for the National League flag. Last night’s triumph boosted the Giants into a fourth-place tie with the idle St. Louis Cardinals, five and one-half games behind the Braves. ’Brooklyn wrested third place from the Cardinals by dumping the Chicago Cubs, 6-4 in a night game at Brooklyn. A four-run seventh inning rally enabled the Dodgers to overcome a 3-2 deficit and win. Rex Barney, who hurled a 2-0 no-hit triumph over the Giants last Thursday, went the distance for Brooklyn to gain his 14th win. He has lost 10. Only one game was played in the American League, the St. Louis Browns ugsetting the third place Indians, 3-2 at Cleveland. Pinch- hitter Joe Schultz singled in the ninth with the bases full to en- able the Browns to bredk at 2-2 tie and win, The loss left the Tribe three ful games behind the first place Boston Red Sox.
