SIX HOMERS
IH 3 GAMES
BY ZERNIAL
By Associated Press
'Jimmy Dykes has lit a fire under
Big Gus Zernial. The slumbering
giant is on a record-tying home
run rampage.
With six homers in three consecu
tive games, old “Ozark Ike” goes
into the little red book in such ex
clusive company as Tony Lazzeri
and Ralph Kiner. And he hasn’t
stopped yet.
Fbt years the Chicago White Sox
did everything but stick pins into
Zerriial’s hide. Nothing much hap
pened. But they waited and waited.
He hit 29 homers last season but
aveiraged only .280. His fielding was
not too much better. When ag
gresive Paul Richards took over as
manager, Zernial was ticketed to
go sooner or later.
'“He’ll hit ior me,” said Dykes
last winter when he only hoped to
trade for Zernial. The deal fell
through in December. But a new
three-way swap involving the A's,
White Sox and Indians brought
benih-riding Gus to Philadelphia
April 30.
With the Athletics he’s now' hit
ting at a .366 clip to bring his sea
son mark around .283.
The home run spurt started Sun
day when the Athletics dumped the
Yankees twice. Gus connected twice
in the second game. He hit two more
Tuesday night against St. Louis.
Then came another pair last night
off the Brownies.
Still the Athletics lost the ball
game, 10-9, and tumbled into the
American League cellar.
Ferris Fain continued his batting
surge with three hits, boosting his
average to .402.
New season High
Vic Rasehi set a new season high
with 10 strikeouts in the New York
Yankees 11-3 romp over Cleveland.
It was the Yanks’ ninth straight at
the Stadium where they have yet to
lose.
Mickey Mantle drove home four
runs with his first Yankee Stadium
homer and fourth of the year. The
rookie also chipped in with a bases
loaded single.
The surprising Chicago Whits
Sox knocked off the Boston Red
Sox at Fenway Park for the second
day in a row, 9-5. Joe Dobson went
all the way against his old mates.
Walt Dropo hit homers in the sec
ond and third to drive in four Bos
ton runs.
Two Tied For Second
Detroit kept step with Chicago,
tied for second place, two and a
half games out, by whipping Wash
ington, 7-1.
Historians were searching the
records to see if the National League
ever was only three games from
top to bottom after a month of play.
Only three games separate the last
place Phillies from the league-lead
ing Brooklyn Dodgers.
The Chicago Cubs battered Brook
lyn pitchers for 13 hits in a 14-4
slaughter.
Second place Boston also was
knocked off by Cincinnati, 4-3, with
the Reds scoring three off Johnny
Sain in the eighth. It was Sain's
fifth loss. He's won only one.
Jim Hearn found his old Pitts
burgh cousins in their usual form
and chipped out a 2-1 decision for
the New York Giants.
A1 Brazle came to the rescue of
Gerry Staley in the ninth to pre
serve a 5-3 St. Louis win over Phil
adelphia. . ,
BOWLING
_
SFATTLE, May 17 — W— Twenty
four of the nation's best woman
bowlers aim for the 1-3 pocket to

They'll be bowling in the annual

the WIBC, but an annual test which
starts the prolonged tourney on its
way.
The sweeps will feature 24 dis
trict winners competing in two di
visions for two of the most coveted
titles in women’s bowling.
ROSE BOWL GAMES

CHICAGO, May 17 —UB— Final

be held in suburban Evanston,

SOLONSTAKE
TOP SPOT IN
P. (. LEAGUE
By Associated Press
For the first time since April 9,
the Pacific Coast League has a
brand new leader today, the Sacra
mento Solons.
Sacramento, the circuit’s custo
mary and reliable second division
tenant, has been elbowing its way
toward the front this season like
a subway commuter. The Sacs fin
ally .made it last night by way of a
4-2 triumph over Portland.
The hero of ti e piece was Out
fie’der Joe Marty, who managed the
club briefly last semester when it
finished last. Mr. Marty’s three
run homer in the eighth inning de
cided the issue and dropped Port
land into second place.
Wednesday night's hostilities
marked another minor shakeup in
the scheme of things, too.. Seattle
took over third place by edging San
Diego, 9-8; Los Angeles dropped to
fourth in a 10-inning, 7-5 beating
from San Francisco.
San Francisco’s triumph over the
Angels was its first this season. It
was essayed in the top of the 10th
on a homer by young Outfielder
Bill McCawley with one on.
In the other contest, Hollywood
nicked three Oakland hurlers for
six hits and a 4-2 conquest.

THESE DAYS
By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY
The Doctrine of Perfection
Franklin D. Roosevelt tried to es
tablish the doctrine that there are j
gbod countries and bad: that there,
are good dictators and bad ones, j
Stalin was a good dictator; Hitler
and Franco were bad dictators.
Chiang Kai-Shek, during part of
this period, was a good dictator;
then he became corrupt.
The doctrine of perfection which
Roosevelt applied abroad, neither
he nor Harry Truman applied in
the United States or among the
countries which we supported with
our largesse. The Kefauver invest
igation surely disclosed numerous
corruptions in our own country, to j
say nothing of the existence of a
black market during the war which
was not without some sanction by
official personalities. Some day,
when there is another dispensation, i
investigations will be made into the
extraordinary earnings by public
officials, during periods of high,
taxation, when most Americans
can barely put away a dollar.
However, that is not the point
of this discussion which is rather,
that when the United States needs
and seelys allies, its measure must
be their value to the United States.
We have been led astray from that
basis doctrine by the 'nb >1 baloney
