THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, 1950 STARTS CAPITOL THEATRE ALL JUNEAU WILL BE TALKING ABOUT IT! 1 § ( SUNDAY SACS EDGE SEATTLE IN 2-1 GAME (By the Associated Press) One of the loosest—and most pro- ductive—swings in the Pacific Coast League belongs to San Diego's swifel-jointed outfielder, Harry Simpson. Harry — better known as “Suit- cast levels on a ball in a manner reminiscent of former Coast League greats Earl Averill and Ted Wil- liams. Last night he cannonaded a single, double and his 22nd homer to drive in four runs in the Padres’ 7-2 win over Portland. That enabled San Diego to remain seven games behind pace-setting Oakland, which walloped San Fran- cisco, 11-4. Los Angeles dropped Hollywood deeper into third place with a 6-1 trimming, and Sacra- mento edged Seattle, 2-1, on Nick Ouchock’s pair of homers. Al Olsen pitched a six-hitter against Portland, for his 16th victory and the Padres’ ninth in a row. Simpbon’s stickwork made it easy.
