The best wishes of all go with them to their new field in Ala- bama. RAINIERS IN WIN IN ONE GAME BY UNIQUE DECSIO By JIM HUBBART (Associated Press Sportswriter) Paul Richards, Manager of the Seattle Rainiers, wins baseball games by keeping one eye on the ball and the other on the rule book. For example: what happens when your man belts a homer and skips second base on his way around the diamond? Richards had a better answer to that one than Oakland did last night and it cost the Oaks a 7 to 6 setback in the first game of a Pa- cific Coast League doubleheader. The homeér came off the bat of Seattle’s Al Lyons during a six-run second inning. Lyons thought his swat was merely another outfield fly. So when he cut second base, Oakland called for a new ball from plate umpire Bill Engelin and tossed it to second for the putout—or so it seemed. - No, Richards pointed out during the ensuing rhubarb, you have to For Home-Cooked Dinners visit HOME the CAFE ..Ons Block Behind Douglas.

Los Angeles rallied in the seventh to overcome San Diego for the first time this week, 6 to 4, and San Francisco trimmed Sacramento, 6 to 3, in last night’s other games. Veteran Harry Feldman pitched the victory for the Seals. He lasted just long enough to put down a Solon uprising in the ninth. At Los Angeles, the Angels turned in a four run seventh to overtake the | Padres and drive starting pitcher | George Zuverink off the mound in the process. The key hit of the in- ning was a poke by Frankie Baum- holtz which had double play writ- i ten all over it.
