1 | 1 WEDNESDAY, MAY 17, 1950 PO 7 ARE UPSET IN NINTH (By the Associated Press) For downright explosiveness, the old-fashioned home run with the| bases loaded is hard to beat. Oakland and Los Angeles proved: that in the Coast League last night, with Oak Roy Zimmerman and Angel John Lucadello dynamiting Hollywood and San Francisco, re- spectively. Zimmerman'’s big blast came with one out in the last half of the 11th to give the Oaks a 12 to 8 triumph. Lucadello, hitting his first round- tripper of the year, picked the two- away, last-of-the-ninth spot for his dramatics and an 8-4 Los Angeles win. Hollywood’s loss dropped the Stars two full games behind pace-making San Diego, which bested Portland, 7-3, on lefty Roy Welmaker's sev- enth victory. Rounding out the eve- ning’s activity, Sacramento began its defense of seventh place with a ! 6-5 win over Seattle. In the Oakland-Hollywood Donny- brook, the props were set up for Mr. Zimmerman as follows: Artie Wilson singled and advanced on an out. George Metkovich was walked | unpurposely. Zimmerman clobbered | unpuposely. Zimmerman clobbered Gordy Maltzberger’s first pitch high into the right field stands. He had | hit another homer earlier otf Ben Wade, as had Metkovich. Chuck Stevens singled and hom- ered for the Stars to run his mc‘ string to 10 straight’ (the lewgue‘ record is 12) before flying out.

Who else but Ted | Williams, the storm center of the American League. In more —ways than one. | Williams never has said so pub- licly but %hat baseball’s top slugger wants most—next to seeing his Bos- ton Red Sox win a pennant—is to break Babe Ruth’s record of 60| home runs in one season. Williams has reached the magic| .400 batting figure. He’s already won the batting title, not once but four times. He’s already gained the most valuable player award. This year he's setting his sights on 61 home runs. With 11 four bag- gers in Boston’s first 28 games, who is there to say Williams won’t break | the Bambino's most coveted re-| cord? Remember also‘that Ted mis- sed seven games because of illness. | averaged /oetter than one homer every two games. | “I'm being paid to hit homers,” 1 Williams once said when he was; chided for not trying to break up| the shift by hitting more to left. “Four little singles in a game is great, but home runs and winning | ball games are greater.” [ 1wo Homers sSlammed ' Ted and his slugging mate, Vern Stephens, each slammed two homers yesterday to account for all Bos- ‘Tigers out of first place.

COMMUNICATION } EDITOR, EMPIRE: I wonder what is the matter with our local Firemen—have they lost all interest in local baseball? As I believe everybody knows, in years gone by baseball was well on its way by this time. Are we going to have a baseball league this year or not? What seems to be the trouble? I velieve if the Local Firemen were really interested the baseball season could be well on its way. I also he-! lieve there is not a better chance | of giving our local youngsters a | chance to have a little clean and wholesome recreation than to have a local baseball league. So lets get | going. I know you will have three teams to enter, and I hear rumors of a fourth. (Signed) John G. Erbland, Mgr.

He chased two men home. Dorris also doubled in the prac- tice tilt to bring his pre-season total for two practice games to three hits —two doubles and a home run. Gene ‘shepherd, manager of the Moose ball club, put the field into good shape for the game by drag- ging it with the aid of his Alaskan Cab. Baseball players said the stands were not open for the game, and 1 five-year-old boy, standing on the sidelines near first base, sut- fered a gash near his eye when struck by a foul ball. A practice game tomorrow eve- ning will pit the Moose ball club against the Coast Guard team. The Moose suffered a defeat at the hands of the Coasters in a prac- ice tussle Sunday. 110,000 LBS.
