Kiner Leads In National Hitting NEW YORK, June 7. OP) Riding high on a 16-game hitting streak, Pittsburgh's Ralph Kiner was the No. 1 batsman in the National League today with a mark of .366. The home run slugger has been cracking out singes and doubles in addition to four-baggers this season in what is easily his best ever. Through games of Sunday, June 5, Kiner had collected 59 hits in 161 times at bat to take a four-point lead over Willard Marshall. The New York Giants' outfielder was hitting .362. Eddie Kazak, rookie infielder of the St. Louis Cardinals, was right on the heels of the top two with a .360 percentage. Other Redblrds in the top 10 Included Red Schoendienst, .335, for sixth place, and Enos Slaughter, whose .333 tied the Giants' Sid Gordon lor seventh. Brooklyn's Jackie Robinson, tied with Bobby Thomson of the Giants for the most hits in the league, 63, ranked fourth with .342. In fifth place was the sur prising Emil Verban of the Chi cago Cubs. The veteran infield er has a lifetime mark of only .273. Thomson's .318 was good enough for ninth place, two points better than the .316 figure compiled by Ted Kluszewski of the Cincinnati Reds.

To a motoring public which had been sputtering along for three years on strictly ra tioned, low-octane gasoline, the event was something of a field day. Everyone drove every where and gasoline sold like hotcakee. 2 Under the circumstances you'd hardly ex pect an oil company to pick that time to come out with a still better product. But, less than one month after Union Oil had put its "regular" gasoline (76) and its "premium" (76-Pi) back on the market, the company announced a brand-new product 7600. 7600 was actually an aviation gasoline slightly altered to meet auto mobile operating conditions. 3. Its performance was so superior to anything the average motorist had ever experienced that people practically stood in line for it. In ' fact it was months before we got our produc tion up enough to keep our stations from run ning dry. Today, almost four years later, 7600 is still the top-quality gasoline in the West. And people are still buying all we can make. jg 'iLSer M 4. However, the important point of the story to our way of thinking is this: we made 7600 available on our own initiative. The customers didn't demand it Conditions didn't make it necessary. But we knew, even though the public was more than satisfied with our present gaso line, that a still better one would win us more customers. And we were in otmpdiMim. Sa If the oil business had been a monopoly private or governmental this wouldn't have been the case. For there's no incentive to go after more customers when yosi already ham them alL But, because we didn't have all the customers, we had a very good reason for intro ducing an improved product. 6 All of which go to prove, we think, that the only way you can guarantee maximum prourcg in an industry is to have an economic system that guarantees maximum incentive. Our American system, with ita free competi tion, provides these to a degree no other system has ever approached.
