4 THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE R, g L PAGE THREB By JIM BACON (Associated Press Sportswriter) Seattle’s Charley Schanz first loss in five starts allows the San Diego Padres to hold onto their slim lead in the Pacific Coast league. The Padres took the nightcap 4-2 Thursday night while Herb Karpel pitched his fourth win with- out a loss to give the Rainiers an 8-3 win in the finst game. Meanwhile, the Padres’ chief threat — Hollywood — got soundly measured by Oakland which ex- ploded for five runs in the ainth to win 8-3. The loss put Hollywood a half-game behind San Diego. In other games, Los Angeles beat the sorry San Francisco Seals 7 to 2 while Sacramento and Pcrtland were rained out. RAINIER’'S THREAT At Seattle, the Rainiers threat- ened with the tying runs on base— and none out—in the eighth inning of the afterpiece. Then Bucky Har- ris jerked pitcher Al Jurisch in favor of Gene Thompson. Thomp- son handled Heinz Becker’s sacri I fice and struck out Tom Neill and pinch hitter Frank Colman to save the ball game for the Padres. In the opener, Karpel pitched a six hitter while his mates collected 14. The Rainiers bombed Xavier Rescigno for five runs in the first two innings. Harve Storey of the Padres and Tom Neill and Neil} Sheridan of the Rainiers hit homers: Oakland fell on Pinky Woods for five hits, a walk and a wild pitch in the ninth to break a 3-3 tie. All three Oakland pitchers were wild but the Stars couldn’t capitalize, leaving 14 marooned on; bases. | STANDINGS OF THE CLUBS Pacific Coast League w L Pet.

Mack prior to the start of spring training picked the Cleveland In- dians to repeat their 1948 victory. The 83-year-old A’'s owner-man- ager retracted that prediction to- day. He's sure his A's will' win— for the first time since 1931. “This spring,” Connie" says, “I predicted Cleveland would win the pennant. But after talking to my players and realizing how confident they were that they would win I have changed my mind. “The players convinced me that they will win.” Mack thinks the Philadelphia Phillies have a good chance to cop the National League flag. o “They have a fine club,” Mack says. ——— e WASH.

AKE LEADS INMAJORS By JACK HAND (Associated Press Sportswriter) Attention, Happy Chandler! Somebody is tampering with the Cincinnati, doomed by the ex- perts to finish in the cellar, is the only unbeaten team in the National League. The poor, old ceat-up New York | Yankees, supposedly hobbled by the loss of Joe DiMaggio and others. are out front in the American Leagtie. Eddie Dyer's St. Louis Cardinals still haven't won a game, and the powerhouse Boston Red Sox had to' resort to bases on balls to break into the victory column. Maybe things will straighten out when the weather gets hot but right now, Happy, they're in a ter- rible mess. Bucky Walters, starting his first full year as Cincinnati manager, followed the old custom of pitch- ing lefthanders agairst the Cardi- nals. As usual, it worked. LEFT HANDERS WORK Following up Kenny Raffens- bérger’s opening day performance, Walters called on another lefty, John Vander Meer, yesterday. The 33-year-old veteran responded with a five-hit shutout, 5-0. Vandy, a 11-game winner last year, retired the last 11 batters in order to top Howie Pollet. ‘The Yankees’ repiacements came through to give Manager Casey Stengel a third straight victory over Washington, 2-1. Johnny Lin- dell, playing in DiMaggio's old spot in centerfield, started ' the winning rally against Forrest Thompson with a single in the last of the ninth. After an error, Hank Bauer, Charley Keller's sub in' left field, came through with a game- ending double. ST. LOUIS THUMPED Cleveland warmed up for its home opener by thumping St. Louis, 8-2, with the help of homers by Larry Doby and Joe Gordon. The Boston Red Sox untracked themselves to salvage the finale of their series with the Philadelphia A’s, 4-0. It was a scoreless battle between Phil Marchildon and Mel Parnell until the ninth. Two walks with the bases loaded and a single by Parnell gave the Sox their margin. Chicago finally stopped Johnmy Groth’s home run splurge, trim- ming Detroit, 5-2. The White Sox pitchers “held” Groth to one single in two official at bats. Leo Durocher’s New York Giant ™ sluggers finally hit their home run stride to ruin the Brooklyn Dodgers’ Preacher Roe, 4-1. Homers by Sid Gordon and Mickey Livingston, each with a man on, accounted for all runs. Bob Scheffing hit a two-run homer in the eighth for Chicago’s 4-3 edge over Pittsburgh. The Boston Braves and Phillies were not scheduled. oo AUK BAY CUB PACK GET BOBCAT BADGES Nine new cub scouts received Bobcat badges at the first regular pack meeting of the new Auk Bay cub pack 390 Wednesday evening. The Rev. Fred Telecky presided at the meeting, and parents of boys pinned on the badges. The new cub pack has three dens, and it is sponsored by the Chlpel-by-me- Lake.
