| | | MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1950 RAIN HITS NORTHWEST BALL GAMES By JIM HUBBART (Associated Press Sportswriter) ‘With only two weeks left to play, YANKS NOW INLEAD FOR - BIG FLAG (By the Associated Press) The 1950 American League pen- |nant race is just about over but it the Portland Beavers open an 11- | Will be rémembered as long as base- game home stand against Los An- |ball is played as the year that geles tonight in an effort to grab a | catcher Aaron Robinson pulled a berth in the Pacific Coast League’s first division. The issue, however, may depend on the weather man. He rained out out of yesterday’s double headers, and- jf .the Pacific Northwest's wet season opens on schedule, the series may never go 11 games. The Beavers, tied in fifth place with San Francisco, are two games behind the fourth place Seattle | Rainiers. It rained Sunday in Portland, causing postponement of a pair with San Francisco. The Angels were washed out, too, at Seattle. Farther south, though, the pace setting Oakland Acorns split a twin | bill with lowly Sacramento and the San Diego Padres trimmed Holly- wood twice, 6 to 1 and 5 to 4. The Stars now are officially out as pennant contenders. Two unearned runs in the second inning provided the margin for Oakland’s 4 to 2 triumph in the opener. Sacramento scored both its runs in a brief ninth inning upris- ing. The Solons took the nightcap, 6 to 2. STANDINGS OF THE CLUBS Pacific Coast League lout of colossal “boner.” | Robinson’s blunder gave the Cleveland Indians a 2-1 ten-inning swat to the Tigers’ pennant hopes. The defeat dropped the seconc place Tigers 214 games behind the New York Yankees, who virtually knocked third place Boston out of contention by trouncing the Rec Sox, 9-5. New York needs only six victorie: its remaining eight game: to clinch its second straight cham- pionship. i Robinson’s “rock” came in one of the strangest games ever played. Al zame time in Cleveland it was sc dark because of dust and smoke that he lights were turned on. The Yanks had fairly easy sail- ing against the Red Sox before 36,924 fans at Yankee Stadium.
