THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 1949 RAINIER HURLER, 20-GAME WINNER (By the Associated Press) For the first time in two years, the Pacific Coast League has a 20-game winner today in 3 old Guy Fletcher, hefty Seattle right hander. Fletcher turned the trick at Portland Wednesday night as he twirled the fifth place Rainiers to a 10 to 7 victory over the Beavers. The veteran six footer got plenty of support from his mates, though, As they lambasted 15 hits to post their second straight triumph in the series. The last time Coast loop pitchers passed the 20 game mark was in 1947. CHff Chambers, then of Los Angeles, finished the season with a 24-9 record and Bob Chasnes San Francisco, ended with 22-8. It took last place Los Angeles 11 innings to squeeze out a 5 to 4| triumph over San Francisco. Allie Clark, Luke Easter's re- placement at San Diego, homered in his first two Coast League ap- pearances, giving the Padres seven runs in their 9 to 5 conquest of Sacramento. At 'Oakland, meanwhile, the league leading Hollywoods bounced back to pinh a 7 to 4 defeat on the Acorns as Glen Moulder twirled his 12th victory of the season.

INDIANS KNOCKED OUT OF FLAG RACE (By the Associated Press) Cleveland’s baseball crown was slightly askew today, needing only a couple of more nudges to knock it off completely.

The Indians went into baittle without Feller and Lemon yester- day and were neatly scalped by the lowly St. Lou Browns. They tock a double defeat that might prove to be the blow them out of the pe race.
