MONDAY; JUNE 25, 1951 RAINIERS KEEP TOPS PC LEAGUE By Associated Press Thanks to their dependable part- time pitcher, Al Lyons, the Seattle Rainiers retain the Coast League’s top spot today. Lyons came in from his outfield post to pitch his third win without defeat against Sacramento yester- day. The 6-2 victory, accomplishec via a five-hitter, offset a 2-1 loss in the second game, gave the Rain- fers an even split in the four-game series and left them one game ahead of Hollywood. Ken Gables racked up his 10tk win for the Solons in the nightcap. Hollywood, after running its win streak to six straight, missed a tie for the lead by bowing to Los Ang- eles, 2-1, with George Schmees driv- ing in both runs with a homer and double. : Sacramento and Oakland remain- ed a.close-up third and fourth. The Solons are a game and a half back, and the Oaks stayed two games be- bind by dividing with San Francisco Jay Ragni wo nthe opener for the Oaks, 5-1, scattering seven hits, but the Seals’ Lloyd Dickey stopped 'em, 7-4, i nthe finale. Only ‘club to profit by the sab- bath ‘doings was Portland, which whnaged San Diego twice, 5-1 and 8-4, The Beavers teed off on Guy Fletcher in the opener and then drove Sam Jones, the league’s strike- out ace, to cover with five runs in the first’ frame of the afterpiece. Bill Salkeld’s homer was the saddest blow of all for Sad Sam. Portland winners were Reliefers Bob Drilling and Red Adams. Business around the loop was Jooking up. Hollywood drew its best crowd of the year, 10,962. San Fran- cisco-Oakland had 9,592; there were 7,848 out to see the first place battle between Seattle at Sacramento; and 3,688 sat out the shellacking at San Diego. PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE W. L.

But then lightning struck — not once but twice as the pathetic Pirates rose up and dumped the Dodgers 10-7 and 5-4 to chop a game and a half from their first-place lead: New York's second-place Giant overcame a 5-0 deficit to outscore the Cubs, 10-7, and climbed within six games of Brooklyn. One-Man Show Stan Musial was a one-man show as he paced the St. Louis Cardinals to a 6-5 victory over the Boston Braves in 14 innings. Cincinnati and Philadelphia divided a double-head- er. The Reds took the opener, 3-1 The Phils grabbed the second, 4-2. New York's persistent Yankees whittled another half game off the Chicago White Sox’ first-place mar- gin in the American League. The Yanks clipped the Indians 5-3, and advanced to within onc Dodger: 1 a rough least eight | same of the White Sox who split s twin bill in Boston.
