Lombardi hits home runs-, often enough to elimi nate any great element of surprise. but Jthia borne run-was something extraspeciL.V' i-v-r ,,X.i...;. . Jt happened the day f the hur ricane, .when .the Giants -were playing the Phils ;-, at the Polo Grounds. The .storm came well publicized, and the pre-game com ment on the bench concerned mostly when, how, where and who It would strike. Frank True of the New York Sun was listen ing in. ,'!. ' . - "Ernie,1 Gus Mancuso said to Lombardi, -it would be great stunt if you could come to bat just at the time the hurricane hits. With a good tail wind you ought to knock one into Yankee stadium.- " n i ; : Ernie, never without words, as he saves them ail, said nothing, but it was observed he was pon dering 'the matter deeply. - He'd gaze down at that-lamp post he uses as a bat, give it a -few tenta tive waggles, then gaze specula tively toward, the right field stands, -which are in a line with the -Yankee stadium across the river. - The wind behaved pretty well for five1 innings, but in the sixth the advance guard arrived. Pa pers and dust scurried through the air, and the flags atop the stands began to starch out straight. Lom bard! .eyed these favorable omens calculatingly as he .walked to the plate. . i . Ernie hit a home run. It poob- - ably was one of the most prodige- ous blows ever, seen at the Polo grounds. It cleared . the second deck of the stands at least 50 feet inside fair territory. Nobody ever ; will know just how far the ball did travel, and. the fans still were "ahing" when the big guy loped across the plate. .The ball probably would be go ing yet except for one little fac tor. Ernie had no weather vane on top of his noggin, and he hit the ball over the left field stands against the wind. - Walker Nears Batting Title (Continued from page 8) sial, injured St Loyis Cardinal outfielder. Reports from St Louis indicate Musial will be back in the lineup as the j Cards swing through the east onj their final tuneup for the world series.: If Stan is able to take a regular turn he could make things close by a sizzling hit spree down the stretch but the clock is running out on him.
