Pinky Woods Joins Ranks Of Injured Hollywoodmen BY JIM HUBBART Associated Press Sports Writer Lame and sore, pitcher Pinky Woods was en route home today to watch his Hollywood Stars finish the Pacific Coast League pennant race without him. The loss of Woods, a 23-game winner last season, wrote another chapter of a Hollywood tragedy in which most of the principal characters have been disposed of already. The Stars not only are losing ball games; they also are losing their players. After being shelved since June 9, the large eight hander pitched relief Sunday and promptly aggravated his thigh injury. Manager Fred Haney announced from Portland yesterday that Woods was through. Then the Stars lost their fourth straight to the Portland Beavers, 5 to 3. The setback left the Hollywoods 6½ games behind Oakland. The Oaks were rained out last flight at Seattle. The Beavers scored all their runs in the first three innings. They were outhit, 11 to 5, but the twlnks never could put enough hits together. Elsewhere, San Francisco and Sacramento divided a doubleheader and San Diego handed Los Angeles its fifth loss in a row, 5 to 3. The Seals won the second game of their twi-night twin bill by 5 to 4 when reliefer Al Lien struck out Ralph Hodgin to halt a Sacramento rally in the ninth. The Solons iced the seven inning opener, 3 to 2, on Jim Busby's squeeze bunt in the fifth. Bumbling by the battery cost the Angeles their game with the Padres. Catcher Ray Cash committed one of two Seraph errors in a first inning that produced three San Diego counters, while a walk, wild pitch and a balk contributed to another in the second. Hal Saltzman had a shutout until Les Layton's pinch double in the seventh chased in the first Angel run in 19 innings. SANTA MARIANS HOST SEMIPRO TITLE MIX SANTA MARIA (AP)—The Santa Maria Indians will play host to Salinas, northern division titlist, in the Aug. 2 opener of a three-out-of-five series for the California Semipro Baseball championship. Santa Maria won the southern division crown by defeating San Luis Obispo, 12-1, last night on Les Webber's five-hit pitching. Simmons Protected the 1½ game lead over the St. Cardinals with a 13-3 decision the Chicago Cubs yesterday allowed seven hits, including homer by Andy Pafko, fanning and walked five. Del Ehnis ruined the Cubing in seven runs with a do-or-die seventh and a homer eighth, each with the bases. St. Louis stuck close to with a rosing 13-3 rom Brooklyn.
