Hollywood Streak Ends In Split With Padres By DON THACKREY United Press Sports Writer SAN FRANCISCO (UP) — The first division of the Pacific Coast League was about as exclusive as a skidrow flophouse today but the San Francisco Seals were overjoyed to be in out of the rain. Seven of the eight clubs were jammed together in the upper bracket with only the Portland Beavers sleeping in the streets. And the Seals, up from the bottom of the pit, climaxed a tornado tour of the Pacific Northwest with a double win over Seattle yesterday to climb to the dizzy heights of third place. The hopped up San Franciscans Santee Misses New Mile Mark By Two Seconds KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UP)—Wes Santee, who missed breaking the world record for the mile Saturday night by less than two seconds, blamed a psychological disadvantage today and repeated with customary confidence his boast that he'll still make it. "I was very happy with my time of 4:01.3," the lean Kansan said, but I think I could have done better if it hadn't been for my right leg. I strained a muscle in training last week, but it will be all right in a day or two." were the day's only double winners, getting 10-2 and 6-0 decisions over the Rainiers for a 5-2 series win. How To Whip the Stars San Diego finally found out how to beat Hollywood, by not giving the Stars any runs, and took a two hit 4-0 decision in the opener. But it was the Padres only win of the week as Mel Queen subdued them 6-1 in the second game. Oakland trounced Sacramento 7.4 and the Sacs returned the compliment 9-6. Los Angeles topped Portland 10-5 and the Beavers finally got a win in an extended second game by a 3-2 count. Al Lyons hit a grand slam homer, one of 14 San Francisco hits, in the opener to ruin the Rainiers chances in the first game as Al Lien and Bob Muncrief held the suds to five hits. In the second game Ken Holcombe did even better on the mound, limiting the Rainiers to a single by Artie Wilson in the sixth inning. Ed Erautt showed the Padres how to beat Hollywood by twirling a nifty two hit shutout in the first game. He was helped along by Harry Elliott's home run. Threw Only Three Hits But Mel Queen, king of the PCL hurlers, took a leaf from Erautt's book in the nightcap and tossed a three hitter at the Pads. Sam Chapman's three run home run was the big blow in the victory for the second-place Oakland Acorns. The Oaks were also aided by five boots committed by the Sacramento defense. Oakland almost pulled the second game out also with a five run unrising in the final inning. world record for the mile Saturday night by less than two seconds, blamed a psychological disadvantage today and repeated with customary confidence his boast that he'll still make it. "I was very happy with my time of 4:01.3," the lean Kansan said, but I think I could have done better if it hadn't been for my right leg. I strained a muscle in training last week, but it will be all right in a day or two." For a fellow who had just turned in the second fastest mile ever run by man, topped only by the historic 3:59.4 by Roger Bannister of Great Britain three weeks ago, an excuse may seem considerably out of place. But Santee explained his point. "The leg didn't bother me while I was running," he said. "But I was afraid to really turn on the drive because I felt it would have been foolish to take any chance of injuring myself for future races. "I think I could have run under four minutes Saturday night if I had extended myself in the last quarter, because I felt good, I was running good and the conditions were good. "But I just didn't want to take any chance on an injury." Then Santee added: "It was more a psychological disadvantage than a physical one, but I am certain all this will be cleared up for the Compton (Calif.) relays next Saturday." Bulletin Warr.

There was nothing especially notable about his triumph in the opener of a doubleheader against Cincinnati Sunday. He got knocked out en route to victory and his mates stayed mired in seventh place when Cincy won the second game, 6-5.

He wound up Sunday with a blister on the thumb of his pitching hand and had to be relieved by Jim Davis. But he struck out six and gave up only four hits in eight innings. Frank Baumholtz drove in two runs with a homer. Ted Kluszewski homered for the Reds. In the second game, Cincinnati made three runs on a triple by Wally Post, a single by Ed Bailey, a double by Bob Borkowski, an infield out and a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning and the game was called by darkness after that. Bailey hit a fourth inning homer while Randy Jackson homered for the Cubs. A Triple Tie The Giants, Dodgers, and Phillies wound up in a triple tie for second place on the Memorial Day milestone.

Garcia pitched the ninth complete game for Cleveland in the last 10, getting solid support from Bobby Avila who hit two doubles and scored each time to boost his league leading batting average to .387. It was Cleveland's 13th victory in the last 15 games and the 14th in a row at home. Boston clinched its victory for Nixon with a pair of runs in the seventh on a single by Billy Goodman, a walk to Ted Williams and singles by Jack Jensen and Harry Agganis. Mickey Mantle homered for New York. Mickey Vernon and Wayne Terwilliger hit home runs to give Mickey McDermott enough help for his four-hit shutout over the Athletics but Philadelphia took the second game by scoring twice in the ninth on a double by pinch batter Ed McGhee, who ended Bob Porterfield's five-game winning streak. Vernon and Gus Zernial of the A's had second game homers. Eddie Waitkus and Jim Fridley hit homers for Baltimore and Don Larsen pitched six hit ball for his second victory.
