Torrid Oaks Risk Loop Lead in Seattle Series By JIM HUBBART Associated Press Sports Writer The torrid Oakland Acorns take their five game Pacific Coast League lead into Seattle tonight for the opener of a 10 game series with the dangerous Rainiers. Three of the games are makeups of earlier postponements. If Seattle should suddenly catch fire some alterations might be forthcoming in the pennant picture. Because Hollywood, the No. 2 club, also opens an extra game series tonight—against six place Portland. The Oaks increased their margin to five games by whipping Portland twice yesterday by identical 4 to 2 scores. Hollywood, meanwhile, was dropping a pair to Seattle, also by identical scores—4-3. San Diego and San Francisco split and Sacramento copped a pair from Los Angeles, 5 to 2 and 9 to 1. Bill Sweeney, manager of the Portland Beavers, was busted in the first game at Oakland after an argument over a ninth inning smash by Portland's Hillis Layne over the fence. Umpire Pat Orr called it fair—putting the Beavers ahead 5+1 but quickly changed his mind and sent the runners back. Sweeney charged out of the dugout. Lonnie Fry's long fly ball in the seventh gave Seattle its second game triumph over the stars. The Rainiers iced the opener with a three run fourth inning and then staved off a Hollywood uprising in the ninth. Ferrier vs. Snead in Play-Offs ST. PAUL, Minn., (P)—It was chip shots against putting as Sam Snead of White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., and Jim Ferrier of San Francisco met today in a playoff for first place in the St. Paul $15,000 open. The 18-hole playoff starts at 3 p.m. (EST). Snead's ability to place chip shots where they would do the most good brought him a seven-under-par 65 yesterday in the final 18 holes of the scheduled 72 hole tourney. And it was Ferrier's putting that kept him in the running. The two wound up tied at 276. Ferrier carded a one-under-par 71 for the 6557-yard Keller course. They were two strokes ahead of Umpire Pat Orr called it fair—putting the Beavers ahead 3-1 but quickly changed his mind and sent the runners back. Sweeney charged out of the dugout. Lonnie Fry's long fly ball in the seventh gave Seattle its second game triumph over the stars. The Rainiers iced the opener with a three run fourth inning and then staved off a Hollywood uprising in the ninth. At San Diego, the Padres and the Seals embroiled themselves in a pair of old fashioned swat orgies. San Francisco took the opener, 10 to 9, but the Padres roared back with a 17 hit assault in the afterpiece to win, 15 to 6. Buster Adams slammed two homers in that one. Al Smith got one. So did Jack Graham, who batted four for four. Jim Tabor hit a round tripper in each contest as Sacramento polished off the Angeles. In the second game, the Solons nicked three Scraph pitchers for 13 blows. **Juvenile League Schedule** Tuesday A League 9:30—Optimist vs Forsters Freeze. 10:30—Ehlers vs Halls Bakery.

Three new developments in Standard's laboratories We picked these three developments to tell you about because they will probably never be manufactured by Standard of California. Although we developed them, looking for ways to help some of our customers meet special problems, we expect to turn them over to other companies to produce. And this illustrates a point... Everything we discover that can possibly benefit you is brought to you in some way ... even when the development leads us far outside our own field. And when we turn up a practical way to improve a petroleum product, we make prompt use of it and, in many cases, make it available to other companies under license. Research at Standard is a vital, progressive force. It has called for an investment of more than $35,000,000 in the last ten years, but its results have been immeasurable... not only in terms of better products but in the creation of new jobs and greater opportunity for our own people and those in many other industries.
