SPORTS BOB ZIMMER, Editor Sauer Snaps Battling Slump as Cubs Rack Up 10-6 Triumph Over Pirates By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer Hefty Hank Sauer of the Chicago Cubs, who has even turned basestealer in his anxiety to prove that this is '1952 all over again, today came busting out of a batting slump that had threatened to block his campaign. Hank's first grand-slam home run of the season, highlighting a seven-run outburst in Monoyas fifth inning, carried the Cuos to a 10-6 victory over Pittsburgh and wrote a responding finish to a batting setdown that had gripped the Bruin outfielder for a week. Sauer, the National League's "most valuable player," in '52 but a bust in '33 when injured hands hampered him, broke fast from the starting gate this year, his slugging including a 15-game hitting streak, before the recent week's slump hit him. Tied With Musial As a result, the 6-foot, 4-inch slugger stands tied with Stan Musial of the Cards for the major-league lead in nomers with 12, ranks third in runs scored with 29, and fifth in runs-batted-in with 30. To top it off, he has a thundering .343 batting mark far above his lifetime .29. Sauer really cracked his slump with a flourish, adding two singles and a walk to his grand-slam and even delighting his fans by scampering to his first stolen base after six innings when the Phillies were leading, 6-3, veteran Murry Dickson hurled the last three innings to protect the first major-league win for rookie Paul Penson. Four Redbird Homers The Cards walloped four homers to win the regularly-scheduled night game, three of them off Phillie ace Robin Roberts. Wally Moon, leadoff batter in the game, clouted the first and later Rlp Repulski and Ray Jablonski rocked Roberts, and Musial bagged his 12th homer of the year off reliever Karl Drews. Moon's blast would have been enough to win, since Joe Presko went on to shut out the Phils on seven hits for his third win. Detroit was leading the Red Sox, 3-1, in the eighth inning with a runner on second and two out when Ned Garver intentionally walked Williams, Jensen smashed Garver's first pitch for a three-run homer to win the game. Rookie pitcher Tom Brewer got credit for his first victory. Monday's Star: Hank Sauer of the Cubs, who paced a 10-6 win over the Pirates with two singles, a walk, and a grand-slam homer.

To top it off, he has a thundering .343 batting mark—fat above his lifetime .239. Sauer really cracked his slump with a flourish, adding two singles and a walk to his grand-slam and even delighting his fans by scampering to his first stolen base of the season—on the back end of a double steal, of course. That seven-run rally wiped out Pittsburgh 2-0 lead, which was created in the third inning by Bob Skinner's two-run double. It tagged Pirate rookie Bob Purkey with his fifth defeat of the year against a single win and made it possible for veteran left Howie Pollet of the Cubs to gain his first win of the year, with relief help. Phils-Cards Split In the only other National League action, the Philadelphia Phillies split a pair of games with the St. Louis Cardinals, winning 8-4 and losing 8-0, and thus falling into a first-place tie with the idle Brooklyn Dodgers for first place. The only American League game Monday saw Jackie Jensen blast a three-run homer in the eighth inning, right after Ted Williams had been purposefully walked, to give the Boston Red Sox a 4-3 win over Detroit. The Phillies' first-game win was the completion of a game interrupted by a curfew law on Sunday. Bed-Wetting Stopped Safe, New, Easy Way DRY-TABS ends shame, embarrassment.

KE 5-5197 Giles Hails Attendance At Major Loop Games CINCINNATI, Ohio (UP)—President Warren Giles of the National League today hailed the huge attendance at Sunday's doubleheaders as proof that "baseball will not suffer from the so-called 'recession' the country is experiencing now." Giles pointed out that a grand total of 111,259 fans turned out to see the four twin bills played in his league on Sunday. That, plus a turnout of 136,981 fans for a similar program in the American League, made the total attendance at major league games on Sunday 248,240. This far exceeded the attendance on last year's three big summer holidays—Memorial Day (154,517), July 4 (196,050), and Labor Day (164,714). "It bears out what I've thought since spring training," said Giles. "Interest in baseball is running very high this year and all that was needed was a decent break in the weather to bring out the crowds. This was the first good Sunday, weatherwise, that we've enjoyed since the second week of the season." Giles said evidence of high interest in this year's National League race came in the first two weeks of the season, weeks which were marked by good weather. Giles said fans could look forward to "one of the best races this league has experienced, because the balance of power is more evenly distributed this year than I've ever seen it." He predicted "a daily shuffling of the standings for some time to come."

Powell Flattens Kelly For Sixth Pro Victory LOS ANGELES (UP)—Charles Powell, former San Francisco Pony Niner grid star, boasted his six professional ring victory too after knocking out Harlan Kelly after scheduled 10-round main event Olympic Auditorium. The estimated 1000 fans night saw Powell, 212, a 1-3 favorite, flatten his 224 pound opponent with a smashing right to the Junction in the third round. Powell held the upper hand from the outset of the fight and battered Kelly into submission within steady barrage of punches that soon found the loser on rubber legs. Powell flattened his last thrivals in a round. Kelly, a S.Diego boxer, showed gameness but not enough power to stand against the victor.

(UP) — The San Francisco Seals have been showing every evidence of trying to get out of the Pacific Coast League cellar. And it shouldn't take them long, judging by their last five performances. The Seals won their fifth straight victory last night when they downed the Portland Bevers, 15-7, battering four Portland pitchers for 18 hits. The rampaging Seals jumped right into the fray with three runs in the first first frame. In the eighth inning, they put the game on ice with a five-run rally featured by Sal Taormina's three-run homer. Reno Cheso added to the Seals' glory by hitting his first homer of the year in the sixth. Don Eggert hit a three-run homer for the Beavers in the fifth. It was his fifth of the season. Ted Beard tied the PCL' centerfielders putout record during the game with 11. All eight PCL teams will be back in action tonight.

SPORTS PARADE OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK (UP)—The "new" Stan Musial was looking avidly at both the home run and batting champ0onships of the National League today but his main targets still were a couple of fellows named Rogers Hornsby and Honus Wagner. There has been much speculation this early season as to whether Musial would rather win his first hom run title or take the batting championship for the seventh time. Stan has proved reluctant to reveal his plan of batting battle. But it is obvious from here that "The Man" intends to let nothing stand in the way of matching Hornsby's total of seven batting crowns this season—and move to within one of Wagner's all-time National League total of eight. At 33, Musial apparently has a long way to go in baseball. But the years are shortening in which he can expect to lead the league in hitting and he wants three more titles to become the all-time tops. There is a baseball expression that the high average hitters ride in Fords but the home run hitters ride in Cadillacs. Stan, by making a career out of high average hitting, has disproved that. Even these days $80,000 a year will buy more than coffee and doughnuts. Musial almost took the homer championship once. That was in 1948, when he hit 39—and Ralph Kiner and Johnny Mize tied with 40. Speculation started that he might be out to win it this season with his fast getaway which has put him right at the home run top with Hank Sauer and Ted all-out stint in spring training. Sharp This Spring "I usually rested as much as possible in the spring to save mylar season," Musial recalls. "Well, self for the long grind of the regular spring I played in every single exhibition game. The result is that when this season opened I was sharp. I was hitting the ball better and with more confidence. "I'm in better hitting form right now than I've ever been at this stage of the season," he grills, all the worry which rode his shoulders throughout a long winter having dissolved. His pace at the start is even 1948 when he led the league in better than his opening drive in just about everything and won the batting crown with a .376 mark. His early home run pace has been phenomenal compared with his average of 22 a year for he's halfway there already. But the man he's alming at is Hornsby—with Wagner next on the list. Gay, Payne Clash for Golf Crown Thursday Dick Gay and Bill Payne vie for the club championship in the feature match of an Anaheim Golf Association field day to be held at the Meacowlark course Thursday. Play gets underway at 12 noon, to be followed by a dinner at 6:30. The field day will also include a match between the AGA and the La Habra Par Boilers. The golfer with the low net for the day will be awarded the Troutman-Scholz trophy. Prizes will also be awarded for the low gross and blind bogey. Gay copped the first-flight crown Olson Ready for Bout With Rocky Castellani SAN FRANCISCO (UP)—As far as conditioning is concerned, Carl Bobo) Olson is ready right now to step into the ring against Rocky Castellani. Olson, who signed Monday to defend his world middleweight championship against the Eastern Italian in August, weighed only five pounds above the 160 pound limit today. Batting Title Foremost The Cardinal star naturally would be delighted to win it. But to him the batting championship is foremost, and he looks like a shoo-in over the long haul this year. Consider that at this time last year Musial was hitting almost 100 points less than the .360 bracket in which he is today. As late as June 17 he was batting only .251, a morose and miserable man who admitted disconsolately that the title apparently was lost. Yet he came on so strong in the stretch that he lost the batting championship by only five points to Carl Furillo's .342. But it is a "new" Musial—or possibly just the "old" one back in the groove—who delightedly is driving the pitchers crazy again this season. He credits it to an Association field day to be held at the Meaocowlark course Thursday. Play gets underway at 12 noon, to be followed by a dinner at 6:30. The field day will also include a match between the AGA and the La Habra Par Boilers. The golfer with the low net for the day will be awarded the Troutman-Scholz trophy. Prizes will also be awarded for the low gross and blind bogey. Gay copped the first-flight crown and Payne took the second-flight title in the club's annual elimination tournament, which started in March. Gay trimmed Dick Glover, 2 and 1, in the finals Sunday. Tickets for the day's festivities can be purchased at Moon's Gift Shop and Lake's Mens and from Les Garden and Dick Gay at the Bank of America. "Full of Pep" at 75! How's YOUR Pep at 40, 50, 60?
