SAN FRANCISCO o P CaMo-, Bernlei. the pnnoc of UiTlves from Piipi to Rir'-. has made the Pa* fit Coast League speed conscious. Jcl-loggci Bcrrtci is the bane r.l every catcher in the loop except his backstop teammates on the Hollywood Stars Carlos is a pocket hook edition of a hall player, lie’s only 5 feet H inches and weighs about 160. lint the little guy has moved those pounds over the base paths like craiy. Hornier pilfered his 23th sack of the season last night, personally citing up Hollywood’s 3 to 2 victory over Portland. With the score knotted at 2 to 2, Dernier drew a base on balls in the eighth and fled toward second. Bevo catcher Jim t.ladd, anticipating the theft, was over anxious and threw the ball into renter field. Bernier romped to third, from where he tallied the winning run on a fly ball by time Handley. Speed paid off at San Diego, also, where the home town Padres nipped Los Angeles. 3 to 2. as .lack Tobin scurried home on the front end of a double steal. Swiftness was also prominent at Oakland, where the hosts lost to Sacramento, 6 to I. The speed in this case wasn’t on the bases, ft was in the chubby rigid arm of Kenny Cables, who beat the Oaks with a four-hitter. San Francisco a* Seattle was postponed because of rain.
