THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1950 RAINIERS IN C(LOSE GAME BEAT ANGELS (By the Associated Press) Hollywood roosts atop the Pa- cific Coast League heap today by a precarious percentage margin ot As third-place Oakland slugged front-running San Diego, 20-8, the movieland lads slipped into the lead with a 3-1 victory over Sacramento. The results left Hollywood with a 38-25—.603 mark to San Diego’s 39-26—.600. Oakland fell behind San Diego €-3 but countered with nine rups oft Al Olsen and Jack Saltzman in the | third and kept rigi® on going. Billy Herman hit a homer with bases loaded in the big frame. The Oaks bagged five -circuit | clouts—including two by Loyd Chris topher and one each by Roy Zim- | merman and Ray Noble—and the | Padres four (Simpson 2, Max West | and Tresh) to come within two of equalling the PCL record of 11 swat- ted by Salt Lake City and Vernon | in 1923 and 1924. Al Gettel stopped the Padres over the final eight innings to get the win. Hollywood and Sacramento played the fastest game of the year—one | hour and 35 minutes—with Jack Salveson stifling the Solons on a seven-hit allotment. Hard-luck Red Evans pitched a four-hitter but the Stars bunched them just right and handed him his ninth defeat. 1-0 Win, 10th The 1950 medal for gquick-! chmk- ing on a PCL diamond should go to Portland’s Steve Mesner for the unusual play which brought the Beavers a 1-0 victory over San Francisco in 10 innings. With bases loaded, two out and a 2-2 count on him in the 10th, Mesner deliberately swung at Chuck | Johnson’s wild pitch, gambling that | Seal Catcher Roy Partee couldn’t stop it. Mesner was 100 percent right. The ball rolled back to the screen, Mesner made first and Beaver Pitcher Vince Dibiasi came | !Jmme with the lone tally. Johnson, incidentally, drew the error on the freak play, while being credited with a strikeout. Moreover, the run was counted as earned be- cause it was directly traceable to the pitcher. It’s the only play in baseball where a run is scored as earned on an error. DiBiasi gave up five hits, Johmon six in the close battle. Seattle edged Los Angeles, 2-1, in another due! that went sour in the last minute. Angel third sacker Albie Glossop threw the ball away after fielding a ktunt and Al Lyons raced home from second with the winning run in the ninth. Hector Brown thus edged Pete Mallory.

Williams Wanis fo Quit Sox: NEW YORK, June 1—®—Jimmy | Cannon, sports columnist of the New York Post, said today in a copyright column that Ted Williams, baseball’s highest paid player, in- tends to ask the Boston Red Sox to trade him, preferably to the De- troit Tigers. “Boston’s hostile and abusive baseball fanatics probably have succeeded in running Ted Williams out of town,” Cannon wrote. “It is his hope that this is his last year with the Red Sox. At the end of the season, I can exclusively and positively report ‘today, Wil- liams intends to ask the Red Sox to trade him. His choice is Detroit. Only Detroit, Cleveland, and the Yankees could afford to employ him.” Williams reputedly receives $125,000 annually from the Red Sox, the biggest sum ever paid a base- ball player. Although Williams is leading the American League in home runs with 11, and is second in runs batted in with 41 against 47 for Junior Stephens of the Red Sox, his batting average has slumped to .286. Cannon declared that Williams' value is so great that terms for any sort of trade would be prohibitive even for Detroit, Cleveland, or the New York Yankees. “It is doubtful a player has ever been a more unpopular player with i home town partisans,” said Cannon. {for her first visit to the Intetior.
