FRIDAY, APRIL 13, 1951 .4‘ \‘ f".t‘ ——— e—— —- BEAVERS LEADING NOW, PCL By Associated Pres3 Portland's bumptious Beavers — displaying all-around balance they + didn't suspect they had — are rat- tling a full two games ahead of the Pacific Coast League pack. Last night they combined timely homers by Eddie Basinski, the fid- dler who has suddenly developed 2 bass viol punch, and Brooks Holder, with expert relief pitching by Jack Creel. The result: Second-place San Diego was beaten, 4-2. San Francisco, coming back off ¢ the basement floor, swept its three- game series with Oakland with a 4-3 victory. Manager Joe Gordon's homer gave Sacramento a 5-4 win over Seattle, and Los Angeles’ Fred Bazewski edged Hollywood’s Vic Lombardi in a 1-0 southpaw duel. Holder's two-run smash and Ba- «sinski’s loner saddled San Diego’s Red Embree with a loss within three innings. San Francisco made it foyr ¥ straight after their disastrous 13- game losing streak by getting to Wes Bailey for three runs in the fourth and a deciding fourth tally in the eighth. Gordon’s game-winning blast came in the ninth and gave Sacra- mento’s Glenn Elliott a victory over Seattle’s Jim Davis. Herm Reich’s circuit smash had tied the score for the Sacs, who earlier had ruped «@ 3-0 lead on Jim Tabor's bases- loaded triple, The Rainiers wiped this out with four runs in the third, with Al Lyons’ triple the biggest blow. Baczewski (pronunced Buh-Jeski) is a $10,000 bonus boy and he looked like the real goods with a four- hitter against Hollywood. COAST LEAGUE STANDINGS o L. Pct. Portland . . San Diego . 5 .600.

It's a short one and goes like this: “Give me another pitcher.” With the official opening of thr majors only three days away, managers were making eleventt hour efforts today to bolster their mound staifs — with the possible exception of the Boston Red Sox and the New York Giants. Bot} and Lec an sit back mos Durocher of the Giants, and watch the scramble. The Sox and the Giants are twc of the favorites to take ihe Amer- ican and National league flags. But how about their main rivals? In the American, the defending champion New York Yankees g worried, indeed, what with Al Reynolds on the sidelines. The Cleveland Indians? A gooc tipoff on what the tribe thinks of | its hurling depth can be found in yesterday's box score, Johnny (re: | member his twe straight no-hitt 12 years ago?) Vandermeer hooked on with the Indians on a trial basis | last week. He got into one inning against the New York Giants at Winston- Salem, N. C., yesterday and was pounded for seven hits and five runs. 3 In the National League, if ar one is going to beat out the Giants. | say the experts, it will be the Brook- lyn Dodgers. Brook President Walter O'Malley said only yesterday that “Cincinnati, Boston and St. Louis have pitchers we could use.” Howie Pollet of the Redbirds 1s the boy O’Malley would like to see in a Brooklyn uniform. And so it goes right down to the potential second division clubs . . . Give them another pitcher and they might be a threat, They might, at that.
