(JF) The San Diego Padres swarmed onto a wet diamond here today for an 8-4 victory over Portland. The rain forced delay of the game so long a scheduled nightcap was abandoned. Portland used five pitchers but the starter, Ken Douglas, was charged with the loss.

The Padres got to him for five hits, good for five runs, in the fourth. Three of, the blows, by Jensen, Gonzales and McDonald, were doubles. Gonzales' little blooper back of third base brought two runs. Collegian Joe Gonzales was hit freely but managed to get by with only one bad inning, the sixth, when three hits and an error cost him two runs. Portland took the series, four games to three.

BOB RAY According to a wire report from Durham, N.C., Judge W. G. Bramham, president of the National Baseball Association, is quoted1 as saying Bill Cissell, Hollywood second baseman, faces "suspension for life" because of a so-called "interview" which appeared in an Oakland paper. The "interview," which, by the way, was more than a week old before Coast League Prexy W. C.

Tuttle saw it, quoted Cissell as saying Tuttle didn't know baseball and George Hildebrand, former umpire now living in San Francisco, would make a better league president. It further intimated that Cissell thought Judge Lafidis didn't give him a square deal when he attempted to get a part of his purchase price when the Portland club sold him to the White Sox for $123,000. It also stated that Cissell criticized a lot of baseball regulations, some of which undoubtedly must be dear to the heart of Judge Bramham. Let it be added tnat the "interview" took place in an Oakland tavern during the series Cissell and the Hollywood Stars were losing six out of seven to the Acorns. Further, the "interviewer" has a reputation for having a vivid imagination.

In other words, Cissell probably hoisted a few too many and popped off, although it is a bit hazy as to whether he was directing his words to the Oakland sports scribe or whether the latter just "overheard" the remarks. DICTATOR STUFF Now as far as Judge Bram-ham's threat that Cissell might be "suspended for life" if an investigation proves he really did make the statements to the sports scribe who printed the "interview," that sounds a bit like dictator stuff. And the American public, especially the baseball fans, don't go for dictators, which shouldn't be news to Judge Bramham. To deprive Cissell of his livelihood because of remarks credited him in a doubtful "interview" seems a little out of line. The punishment is far too severe for the crime, if such it may be termed.

The old X-Ray will agree that Cissell was dead wrong in rapping the game that has given him his living for the past 10 years or so. And if he makes a practice of visiting taverns and popping off against his "meal ticket," Bill should confine his remarks to whispers, make certain to whom he is talking and use politicians' present-day evasive method of talking "off the record." TEMPEST IX TEAPOT The whole situation appears to be a tempest in a teapot. Prexy Tijttle could have averted the whole thing if he'd sat down and given the matter a little thought instead of immediately "blowing the whistle" by ringing in Judge Bramham. Instead of taking it for granted that Cissell had said everything he was quoted as having said in the "interview," Tuttle should have used some of his expense money and hopped a train to Oakland, where he could have talked it over with the player and sports scribe. If proof were obtained that Cissell had given out the "interview," then he could have doled out whatever punishment he deemed fitting.

Instead, the Coast League prexy telephoned Judge Bramham, taking Cissell's guilt for granted without any semblance of a 'hearing, and indefinitely suspended the Hollywood player. The suspension was lifted two hours later, however, permitting Cissell to finish out the series in San Francisco before lie appeared before Tuttle here when the Stars return home. TATCH IT UP Now that the cat is out of the bag, so to speak, the logical thing for Tuttle to do would be to find out Cissell's side of the story today. Then the Coast League prexy should give the Hollywood player a verbal dressing down as well as a warning to refrain from popping off in public places about the game of baseball in general and its officials in particular. Then it wouldn't be a bad Idea for Cissell to say he was $orry for whatever part he may or may not have been to blame for in the mess, and that he'd see that' it wouldn't happen again.

And as for the Oakland' sports scribe, well, I figure it's hopeless to expect him to mend his ways. He isn't happy unless he's embarrassing or irritating somebody. And that was the reason his boss gave him the job. French Beats McCay LONG BEACH, June 4.

(IP) The 1944 Olympic Games were expect ed to be awarded to London this week as 40 members of the International Olympic Committee arrived today to consider bids of four major cities. Others bidding for the 13th Olympiad are Detroit, Rome and Lausanne, Switzerland. Olympic committee members will meet Tuesday evening. The Duke of Gloucester will greet them at St James Palace. HAD THEM IX 1908 London last held the games in 1908 but British Olympic officials point out that even then they were forced to take them over on short notice.

It is possible that a fight for the games may develop between Rome and London. Rome originally was scheduled to get the 1940 games before they were awarded to Japan. The Italian committee, however, gave them up and did not bid for them again when the Sino-Japanese war forced Japan to turn them over to Finland. Because of this series of events. Italian officials believe they are entitled to the games.

OPPOSE ROME Most Olympic officials oppose giving the games to Rome because, they say, the Olympics have been tangled up in international politics since before the Berlin games in 1936. The tendency now is not to give them to any country which may use the games to publicize the authoritarian state. Detroit's position is weakened by the fact that the games were held in Los Angeles in 1532, though United States Olympic officials recall that Athens had the games twice in 10 years, ILSENG SWEEPS TRAPSHOOT MEET LONG BEACH.
