RAINIERS RETURNTO ATH PLACE (By Associated Press) They're still playing baseball in the Pacific Codst League these days but an astonishingly few people are seeing it in person. Overseers of the cash registers must be moaning low, indeed, today at, three parks and can’t be too ov- erjoyed at the fourth. Leaving the reasons to the ball club officials— television, the long-drawn-out sched- ule, advance of football into the baseball season or whatever—here are the dismal statistics: First place Oakland beat second place San Diego 17-6 before 5315 fans last night, more than twice as many as appeared in the other three parks combined. The others: 561 fans at Sacramen- to where third place Hollywood lost to the tail-end Solons, 5-4 in 13 in- nings; 675 at Los Angeles where Portland beat the Angels, 3-1, anc 1,391 at San Francisco, where in ar afternoon game Seattle regainec fourth place from the Seals, winning 4-2. Total for the three parks, 2,127 ‘The night before San Diego hac 5,809 fans; San Francisco 1,496, Los Angeles 842 and Sacramento 835. These are the smallest crowds at Sacramento in seven years. The Oakland slaughter was a 24- hit attack against five Padre pit- chers. The Oaks had an 8-3 lead after three innings, then paraded 15 men to the plate in the ninth for nine more runs. . In the Sacramento marathon Steve Souchock got his fifth hit ir the 13th, stole second and scorec the winning run on John Lucadello’s long single to right field. The scrap was tied 3-3 in the ninth and 4-4 in the 10th, The see-saw at San Francisco saw Seal pitcher Cliff Melton make a valiant effort, holding Seattle to six hits and driving in his team’s two runs with a hit in the second. But Seattle tied it in the fourth and went ahead on Al Lyons' walloper over the center field wall in the sixth. Portland and Los Angeles split eight hits apiece but Portland led all the way with two runs in the first and another in the second. The Angels scored their first run in 15 in- nings when Frank Baumbholtz and Clarence Maddern singled in the sixth.
