Bythis time the steady work of Moundsmen Ward Samuelson, Joe Ruddy, and Marvin Lee and the sensa- tional hitting of Ralph Polidoro, a .630 clouter, were winning factors for Mo- desto. Away from home, the Pirates split witl1 Marin on their second-round games, winning the first 4-2 and losing the seven-inning nightcap S-0. Still with a chance at the title, they traveled to Santa Rosa and lost in error-filled games by 8-5 and 10-2 counts. Considered out of the running, Gardner's nine then administered a double trouncing to Sacramentois Pan- thers, 6-3 and 3-2 in two tight contests. Continuing their belated winning streak, they next beat out San Fran- cisco Rams on the Modesto field. Policloro Shrader Hinkley Dave Iamme Dodd Davies
