RAINERS BEAT UP ONPADRES By Associated Press Joe Gordon’s heavy-hitting Sacra- mento Solens have blasted their way into a first place tie with Port- land, in the Pacific Coast League standing. The Sacs bunched nine hits for a 7 to 8 victory over Portland last night as 10,257 Sacramento fans| cheered them on. Manager Joe Gor- don and Bob Gillespie, starting pitcher, were ejected from the con- test in the sixth for arguing with Umpire Lou Barbour on the call of a fourth ball that forced in a Bea- ver run, Red Adams, Portland pitcher who held the Sacs scoreless from the second inning through the sixth, lost his stuff in the seventh. Sacra- mento then put across five runs. There were two nifty pitching per- formances elsewhere in the league Los Angeles shut out San Francisco, 1 to 0, and Seattle whitewashed San Diego, 3 to 0. A three-run homer by Earl Rapp highlighted a five-run rally in the seventh as Oakland pow- ered to an 8 to 3 victory over Holly- wood. : Marv Grissom notched his eighth victory as he limited San Diego to three scattered hits while Seattle was getting 10 off Guy Fletcher, the one-time Seattleite San Diego ac- quired from San Francisco. Grissom whiffed eight Padres and never was in trouble. Jim Rivera’s double in the first inning provided the winning run, scoring Jackie Al- bright, who had singled. Rivera homered in the seventh.

Only nine others had ac- | complished this feat. Ewell Blackwell and Vern Bick- ford hooked up in a brilliant pitch- ing duel that produced only three hits in the Cincinnati-Boston game, Blackwell allowed one hi* to win, 11-0.

With his team leading the Red Sox, 7-6, and southpaw swinging Ted Williams leading off for Boston placed Righthander Harry Dorish with Lefty Billy Pierce. But Dorish did not go to the bench. Instead, Richards benched Third Baseman Orestes Minoso and moved Pitcher Dorish there. Pierce got Williams on a high pop up fly to the shortstop behind second. Richards then re- turned Dorish to the mound, Pierce {back to the bench and sent Floyd Baker to third. The Red Sox got their tying run anyway, but the White Sox won in the 11th when Nelson Fox poled a two-run homer for 9-7 triumph. Williams’ 300th and seventh homer of the season came in the fourth Babe Ruth once left the mound for right field for one batter, then returned. He was pitching for the Red Sox. Blackwell threw a one-hitter in one of the tightest pitching battles ever waged. Bickford, the loser, al- lowed only two hits. The two right- handers, shooting for their second big league no-hitters, went into the eighth before Bob Elliott doubled off Blackwell for the first hit of '.hel game. Bickford surrendered his first hn.‘ in the sixth — a double by Connie Ryan. Cincinnatti’s secopd hit won the game. It was a hdme ‘tun by Catcher John Pramesa. Blackwell pitched a pair of one- hitters last year. The major league record for the fewest hits made by both teams in one game is two. The New York Giants dropped a 7-3 decision to Bill Werle and the Pirates in Pittsburgh. Brooklyn strengthened its first place hold with an 8-4 victory over the Cubs in Chicago. Two homers by Gil Hodges, a grand slammer by Duke Snider and another round tripper by Jackie Robinson account- ed for all but one of Brooklyn's runs. A pinch single by Bill Nicholson with the bases loaded in the ninth gave the Philadelphia Phils two runs and a 5-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Detroit handed Sandy Consuegra his first loss as the Tigers pounded out 14 hits for a 12-4 victory over ‘Washington. The St. Louis Browns won a free- swinging battle from the Athletics in Philadelphia, 11-8. The usual flag pole ceremonies on opening day will be held at a later date when the steel flag pole is completed.
