(AP Wlrephoto) WIL Balk Record Broken Within First Two Days By HOWARD APPLEGATE (United Preu SporU Wrilerl Tacoma, Wash., April 21 (U.F9 It took only two nays for the Western International baseball balk record to be broken, but most of the other records look . like they might stand the test of another season or two. The season record of four balks in one game weri by the boards last night when Al Trei chel of Wenatchce was charged with five. The old mark had been held Jointly by three pitch ers. Other records under fire will be Jim Warner's 43 home runs for Wenatchee last year; Archie Wilson's 26 triples for Victoria Giants' Fielder He's Not Close By MILTON RICHMAN (United Preai SporU Writer) New York, April 21 UPJ It's downright flattering to be com pared with Joe DiMaggio, agreed Booby Thomson of the Giants today, but he blurted, "It's also a lot of baloney." For years the Giants have been insisting that in Thomson they have "the Joe DiMaggio of the National league." Occas ionally, the good-looking, 27-year-old outfielder from Glas gow, Scotland, even has looked the part. "Let's not kid ourselves," Thomson declared, "DiMag gio is the perfect player while I'm not even close. "I still make a lot of mis takes and there are many things I have to learn. Maybe I should be satisfied with what I have done so far but I'm not. Far. from it. I'm not easily satisfied." Thomson batted .309 last sea son and was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise lusterless array. He's had a mis erable spring, however, a cir cumstance that doesn't bother him a bit. "I've never been a world beater in the spring," he shrug ged. "It takes me a little while to get untracked. I know that I'm In good shape and that I'll come around soon." The square-jawed Giant fly chaser ran a hand through his hair and looked over toward where Manager Leo Durocher was standing. "There," he said, pointing to Durocher, "is the fellow who has helped me the most He and Mel Ott. Both of them taught me a great deal." Feel the Difference - MALL0RY 456 State hat ' C LOTH E S f Oregon, Fridav.'April 21. 1950 . Matt Batts of the Red Sox dives for home head first but is put in 1948; Smead Jolley's 56 doubles for Spokane's 1940 club and Edo Vanni's 1948 Spokane record of 198 singles. The 1940 Spokane club also holds the league batting crown with a .315 mark while Earl Kuper of Tacoma holds the all-time individual batting lead with .389 in 111 games in 1947. Jolley holds the rec ord of runs batted in with 181 in 1940 and is the only man ever to win two league batting titles, in 1940 and 41. Yakima's record of 35 runs in one game in 1947 stands; as does the combination of 43 runs put together by Salem and Wenat chee in 1946. Hal Rhyne, Jr., Claims to DiMag Durocher, like royalty hold ing court, stood in the center of the Giant clubhouse with his players grouped quietly around him. He had just finished go ing over the individual batting weaknesses of the Boston Brav es and seemed anxious to get back on the field. "Okay," he barked. "Let's go get 'em today." Thomson punched his glove idly once or twice and com mented: "I like playing for Leo and I like the way he plays ball. He never sits back on the bench waiting for the home run. Bohemian Club pale is really "something"... something to talk about. It's the beer lovers' dream of how good beer can be, the beer every one has been waiting for. If you crave a real taste thrill, treat yourself to beer goodness. . . . Just Say "BOHEMIAN" tltWID 51 of Wenatchee last year set a mark of hitting in 36 consecutive contests. Among the pitchers, Don Os born of Vancouver holds the most number of league victories, 89, rung up between 1938 and 1942. Exactly 20 WIL hurlers have notched 20 or more vic tories in a season, but no hurler has done it more than once. Osborn is the only twirler to lead the loop in won-lost per centages twice, doing so in 1941 and '42. Other pitchers' records in clude Harold Anderson's 11-1 record for Vancouver last year as the highest percentage; Joe Blankenship's 25 wins for Victoria in 1948; Frank Nel sons 12 victories for Spokane in '48; Hub Kittle's 71 losses during six seasons with four different clubs; Bob Drilling's 23 losses for Yakima in 1948; 296 strikeouts by Victoria's Bob Jensen in 1946; Jensen's individual strikeout mark of 19 against Wenatchee in 1946 and four balks in one season held by three pitchers. Floyd Isckite of Tacoma pitch ed the only nine-inning no-hit no-run game in the league's history in 1939 against Wenat chee. Four pitchers hold seven inning no-hitters Floyd Bevens of Wenatchee, Bob Kinnaman of Spokane, Cy Greenlaw of Ta coma and Ken Wyatt of Salem. Not to forget the fielders, Bob Garretson of Tacoma holds the highest mark for first basemen with a .996 av erage In 1940; John Kerr of Vancouver leads second sack ers with .972 in 1938; Ted Jennings set the mark of .961 for the third basemen while with Yakima last season and Ike Peterson of Lewiston's 1937 entry still holds the shortstop fielding mark of .955. Henry Bonetti, a 1939 Wen atchee outfielder, leads the field for those positions with a .988 mark; Yakima's Louis Lor en z set the catcher's fielding mark in 1939 with .988.
