Values that
mean &g Stiimff
for you
By OSCAR FRALEY
United Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK, July 28.
Ralph Kiner. four-time home run
king of the National league, still
was within striking distance of
Babe Ruth's fabulous Hit today but
once again a slow start appeared
to have ruined the powerful Pir-
ate's bid for baseball immortality.
With 28 homers in his first 88
games, Kiner was trailing Ruth's
unmatched 192? performance by
only two.
But frem here the going gets
rougher and with *i i games re-
maining, the 28-year-old Bucca-
neer needed 33 round trippers to
rewrite the record book—a stiff
aswgnment of one in every two
games.
fUner's hopes were high last
spring that this might be the year
of his dreams. He had slipped into
the groove early and was belabor-
ing the ball with unaccustomed vi-
gor as the getaway period ap-
proached. Then he hurt his wrist
and his prospects came to a
screeching halt.
Inspecting Ruth's storied record,
you find the need for a speedy
ieadoff by the man who intends to
better that scintillating W>. The
babe, too, started slow but he was
a ball of fire at the finish.
Ruth's record was forged with
four homers in April, 12 in May,
nine each in June, July and Aug-
ust, and then a rousing 17 in Sep-
tember.
Seventeen four-base blows in
one month is a phenomenal output.
Kiner's best one-month production
was 16 last September. Like Ruth,
he is a whirlwind in the stretch.
But the man who fights the pres-
sure as it builds up in the late
days while he makes a run at the
Bambino's mark will have to have
a cushion to keep him alive.
Kiner apparently doesn't have
it—this year.
The six foot, two inch slugger
has the power. He won the home
run title in his freshman year of
I94« with 23 round trippers; tied
Johnny Mize the next two years
with 51 and then 40, and won it
last year with 54.
But, while his 1949 August-
September total was one better
than Ruth's, he went into the final
two months trailing the Babe's
Record Pace. It's the same story
this year.
Kiner hit three in April, one less
than Ruth did. He got only si* in
May—against Ruth's 12—leaving
him seven off the pace. He match-
, ed the Bambino's nine in June and
picked up one already in July with
10 homers against Ruth's nine for
this month.
However, in 88 games Ruth had
a total of only 30. In the same
number of games this year, Kiner
had 28.
j To have a really good chance of
wiping Ruth's record off the books
most baseball men believe, Kiner
would have to be two or three ho-
mers ahead of KuWs pace before
i entering the two months coming
up. He isn't. And so the Babe's
: record probably will remain in the
i books—at least for one more year.
Ted WaKams To
Be In By Sept.
BOSTON, Julv 28 <U.B—'Ted Wil-
liams, taking daily workouts and
treatments tor his broken arm at
Fenway Park, said today he hopes
to be back in action with the Bos-
ton Red Sox by September.
"I've been taking whirlpool
bats and getting my arm mas-
saged," said the $lOO,IMM>-a-year
left fielder who fractured nis left
elbow making a spectacular catch
in the all-star game.
"I believe I can make it by
September. I can't hold a bat yet.
All I've been able to do is a little
running."

Simmons Leaves
Today But late
Keep Oi Winiig
Bv FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK, July 28 tU.Ri—Four-
teen-gaiue winner Curt Simmons
prepared to trade in his baseball
suit for khaki today but no tears
were being shed over the plight
his loss would leave tne Philadel-
phia Phillies in.
Both manager Burt Shotton of
the Brooklyn Dodgers and Eddie
Dyer of the St. Louis Cardinals
said Simmons' loss for two weeks
would have little or no bearing on
the National league race.
"Hell be back," said Shotton
simply. "The Phillies have enough
depth to get by without him for
two weeks."
"The loss of one man won't de-
cide the race," Dyer said. "I still
think the race will go down to the
final week or so."
Simmons, who will report for
two weeks training in the Pennsyl-
vania National Guard on Saturday,
gave manager Eddie Sawyer some-
thing to remember him by yester-
day as he stopped the Chicago
Cubs, 13 to 3, on seven hits to
record his 14th victory. It made
him the National league's leading
winner. Johnny Sain of the Boston
Braves is second with 13 w'hile
Cleveland's Bob Lemon leads the
majors with 15.
Simmons' victory — his fifth
straight—enabled the Phillies to
hold their I 'j game first-place
lead over the St Louis Cardinals,
who blasted five homers to sink
the Brooklyn Dodgers, 13 to 3.
The Boston Braves jumped past
the Dodgers into third place by de-
feating the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5
to 3, last night as Warren Spahn
won his 12th game.
Del Ennis shared honors with
Simmons, knocking in seven runs
with a base-clearing double and a
grand-slam homer. Simmons was
never in trouble, although he walk-
ed five.
Fnos Slaughter and Chuck Dier-
ing blasted two homers each and
Del Rice hit another as the Card-
inals scored 10 runs in the last two
innings at the expense of four
Dodger relief pitchers. The Dodg-
ers' lone consolation was stopping
Stan Musial's batting streak which
had extended through 30 games.
Stan went hitless in five tries
while his mates rocked Brooklyn
pitching for 13 hits good for 33
bases.

"After Losing some ground in
the Hwanggan area, the determin-
ed troops are holding their posi-
tions in a savage fire fight," the
communique said.
At least three Communist Divis-
ions were reported fighting in the|
west-central sector, "determined to;
iverwhelm the locally inferior 1
United States troops." MacArthur (
reported.
Allied Air Forces gave the i
ground troops close support. Late ;
reports did not say what turn the
weather had taken,. but the Com-
munist drive was launched in a
heavy rain. With the Korean rainy
season still going strong, the Air
Force effort was hampered.
Allied naval forces continued
what MacArthur described as sat-
uration bombardment along the
east coast, "and the results were
considered effective."
A spokesman at Mac-Arthur's
headquarters said earlier that the
Communists seemed bent on forc-
ing a decision before the United
Nations forces could get set for a
counter-offensive.

ed a car occupied by suspected
Communist party members. {
He said the car's occupants were;
obeying instructions from the state j
secretary of the Communist party, I
James J. (Jack) Grdwi of Houston, j
directing them to ship his office
files to nim.
Previously Green had fled Hous-
ton after unidentified persons, ap-
parently incensed at developments
in Korea, had pelted his house with
stones, the sheriff said.

Mexican To Meet
Aussie At Tennis
MEXICO CITY, July 28 'UJKl-
Mexico's "most nervous" tennis
player, 22-year-old Gustavo Pala-
fox. today carried the slim Mexi-
can hopes of sidetracking Aus-
tralia's powerful bid to regain the
Davis Cup and world tennis sup-
remacy.
Palafox clasned^ with Australian
champion Frank Sedgman in the
opening singles match of the
American zone finals and promis-
ed to win "if only I don't get too
nervous."
The Australians were heavily
favored to score a 5-0 sweep of
Mexico, but Palafox and flashy
Armando Vega hoped to surprise
them in the two opening-day sing-
les contests before 3,06ft fans at
the Chapultepec tennis stadium.
Vega was pitted against veteran
Jack Bromwich in the second
match.

During the final leg of its dash
to freedom, in which the South
Korean boy was added to the party
the Americans came under
"friendly artillery fire."
The American artillery was
sweeping the mountains to knock
out enemy observation posts.
Jackson said he thought the
Americans never would make it.
But with the Korean boy in the
lead, the Americans got back to
theiir own units to find post ex-
change supplies being distributed
for the first time since American
forces landed in Korea.
The boy, identified only as "Jim-
my," now has been installed as
anit mascot.
"I am going to take him to Ja-
pan with me if and when I get
back," Lt. John Rousch Jr., of
Harrisburgh, Pa., said.
"He guided us over the moun-
tains on the last day and warned
us away from enemy patrols by
tipping us on the right thing to
do."

Communists are carrying on their

bout it. Maybe some one can. We
would like to help do it.

A Nervous, Run-down Condition

Mrs. Phyllis Goff, 1902 Park Ave..
Indianapolis, Tntttana, writes us:
"I've had a run-

resulting in head-

bottle of HADA-
COL I started

better elimination.
I certainly recom-
mend HADACOL."
Certain nervous conditions and
digestive disturbances which keep
folks awake nights are sometimes
caused by lack of Vitamins B,. B~,
Iron and Niacin in the system. So
if you suffer from such deficiencies
you see how important it is to start
taking HADACOL. It not only gives
you extra quantities of these pre-
cious elements but also helpful
amounts of Calcium. Phosphorus
and Manganese—so vital to help
maintain good health. Know what it
means to have that wonderful
HADACOL feeling everyone Ls talk-
ing about! Trial size, only $1.25.
