Whether Lindell, the ex-New York Yankee, can provide the power punch Hollywood has lacked all sea- son is a matter of conjecture. The 33-year-old outfielder busted a lot of fences in the majors before he lost his touch. Even if he does produce in the Coast League, his appearance may be too late to help. The Twinks trail Oakland by 8': games today, and acquiring Lindell may be tanta- mount to buying the horse after the barn has burned down. Lindell joins the Stars tonight for an eight game series at Seattle. This is the one that can either make or break Hollywood—or Seattle, also, for that matter. The Rainiers gained an even split in their 10-game battle with Oak- land by whipping the Oaks, 5 to 1 last night. But it didn’t hoist Seattle back into the first division. The Rainiers remain fifth, half a notch behind San Francisco. Lefty Jim Davis displayed winning form in checking the Acorns. Seat- tle collected 10 hits, most of them in the first and third innings; Oak- land had eight. It was the only game of the evening.
