Wilson Hurls Seattle to Oak Conquest By The Associated Press Big Jim Wilson, turned back by Hollywood last week in his effort to win 16 games in a row, has taken up where he left off. Wilson limited the league-leading Oakland Acorns to four hits last night as Seattle came up with a 3 to 1 victory. Oakland didn't lose ground in the race, however, as Portland's Red Lynn, in superb form, blanked runner-up Hollywood, 2 to 0. Lynn allowed only three hits to best Jack Salveson who, with 12 wins and only one setback, has been pacing Pacific Coast League pitchers. San Diego and Los Angeles engaged in a slugfest with the Padres coming out on top, 9 to 5, and San Francisco posed out Sacramento, 5 to 4. Lynn's win at Portland was his 11th. Wilson, big righthander who has been fooling the batters with his "palm ball," whiffed 12 last night and ran his strikeout total to 157. Oakland's Icahn run was Dick Wakefield's 370-foot homer. Manny Perez won his own game at San Francisco. He singled in the ninth to score his catcher, Ray Orteig. Jim Tabor hit a two-run homer for Sacramento but the Seals' Joe Grace knocked one with two aboard. San Diego started fast against Los Angeles, Sultcase Simpson homering with Whitey Wietelman on base in the first inning. The Padres shelled Angel starter Herm Besse in the third with a four-run attack and picked up two more against Booker McDaniels. The Angels exploded for five in the sixth, but that was all. Stan Spence smacked a home in the midst of the Angel unrising against Gazette SF Page 2 Church of Christ Downs Bethel Baptist Squad 5-3 Carlin Coffman emerged as softball's man of the hour last night as pace-setting Church of Christers fattened the league lead at the expense of Bethel Baptist in a 5-3 session at the City Park. Coffman bashed out a home run in the second frame, a single in the third and trotted across the plate on different occasions to make life thoroughly miserable for the losing Baptists. Coffman's boomer was the first score for the winners. They scored next in the third on Coffman's single and a double by Don Dickenson. In the fifth they annexed two more on singles by Dickenson, Ken Meadows and Al Mills and a Baptist error. The league leaders notched number five in the sixth inning as Ed Baker doubled and then came home on an error. A single by Gus Stark, an error and a stolen base gave the Baptists a momentary bulge in the second inning but it was short-lived. Baptists scored once again in the sixth when Paul Jungkeit pounded out a four-bagger. Calvary Baptists collected their third win of the season from Evangelical last night as they dumped the cellar-dwellers 10-4. It was the Baptists second win over the as yet winless Evangelicals. Mulloy Gets Good Start In N.Y. Go SOUTHAMTON (UP)—Defender champion Gardnar Mulloy is to a successful start in the Southampton invitation tennis tournament, which could influence selection of America's 1950 Davis team.

The Oakland Negro reversed a previous loss to Henry and did it convincingly, keeping on top of the Los Angeles fighter most of the time and landing twice as many blows. Henry landed the harder blows, but his marksmanship was off. He was penalized five times for low punches, in each case losing a point. Buford assumed the title last worn by Pat Valentino of San Francisco. The State Athletic Commission declared the throne vacant six months ago when Valentino refused to defend the crown. Buford weighed 192 to Henry's 184½. There were no knockdowns. Composer Peter Tschaikowsky died in 1893 from cholera. ESCROWS FASTER SERVICE Stephen & Stephen 108 W.

Indians Loom as Real American Loop Darkhorse BY JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer Cleveland's rampaging Indians, looking more mute each day, loom as the real "dark horse" in the jumbled can League pennant race. No club in the league—and that includes the pace Detroit Tigers and runner-up New York Yankees—has better than Lou Boudreau's men, who have run upumphs in their last 16 games. Whereas three weeks ago, the Indians trailed the Tigers by seven full games, they are only two and a half games out today. Thanks to a 7-6 triumph over Philadelphia last night while both the Tigers and Yankees were losing, the Indians find themselves in the best position they've been all year. Cleveland's biggest asset is the schedule. Not only is the tribe currently facing a long home stand, but the three closing weeks of the season will find the Indians playing at home in 12 of the last 14 games. Should they remain anywhere near the top in the next few weeks, they will be mighty difficult to stop. Feller was the winner yesterday although he needed help from Lemon in the ninth. It was Bob's 10th triumph of the year. He got a big lift from Easter, who smashed his 18th and 19th homers off loser Alex Kellner. The Red Sox won a 7-6 nip-and-tuck affair from Detroit, scoring three runs in the eighth off relief pitcher Hal White to overcome a 6-4 deficit. Three runs in each of the fifth and seventh innings had enabled the Tigers to overcome an early 4-0 Boston lead. Each club used four pitchers, with Chuck Stobbs the winner and White the loser.
