Giants Whip Cubs, 4-3 as Mel Ott Breaks Runs-Batted-in HORNSBY FIGURE CRACKED BY LONG FLY TOf IFIELD Marshall's Homer Cinches Win Cards Cop To Tighten Grip On Second By Judton Bail? Aiioclated Press Sporti Writer. Mel Ott U likely to be remem bered In baseball ai the quietest record breaker on record. Nobody gives it much thought any more, but every time the 83-year-old outllelder-manager of the New York GlanU hits a homerun or draws a base on balls he breaks the all-time Na tional league record which he himself holds, of course. Yesterday he achieved anoth er goal the runs batted in mark of 1,582 that Rogers Hornsby took 23 years to set while mov ing about among five different clubs and Ott performed the deed in such a muffled way that it would not even have been noticed if people hadn't been waiting and watching for the last week. ' With Bill Werber on third base in the third inning of a game at Chicago with the Cubs, Ott lofted a long fly to right and Werber scampered home with the run that brought Ott the record in his 17th season. Eighth Homer Now every time Ott drives in a tally for the rest of his Na tional league career he will keep on setting a record and fans will think no more of it than they do his bases on balls and home run marks unless he remains act Ive long enough to get close to the record for both major league, 2,209 set by Babe Ruth during 22 years service in the American league. Ott did not get a hit yesterday and his record-breaking feat was largely obscured by the exploit of a rookie teammate, Wlllard Marshall, who hammered his eighth home run of the season into the right field seats at Wrigley Field In the 11th inning to win the game 4 3. The St. Louis Cardinals strengthened their hold on sec ond place in the only other Na tional league encounter by beat ing the Boston Braves 6-2. The veteran Lon Warneke was touch ed for ten hits, but kept constant control and the Redbirds wrap ped up the decision with a five run rally in the second inning. In the American league the New York Yankees sent Edgar Smith, the unlucky southpaw, staggering to his ninth straight defeat with an 8-2 verdict ovor the Chicago White Sox. No. 7 For Bagby Cleveland rallied for three runs in the ninth inning to beat the Boston Red Sox 4-2 for Jim Bagby's first victory since May 17. It was his seventh of the sea son, however, and the Indians' second straight at Boston. The Detroit Tigers pushed acro&s seven runs in the last two innings to beat the Philadelphia Athletics 8-7 and the surging St. Louis Browns battered the Washington Senators 7-2.

In fact, there hasn't been so much talk of ribs around here since a bar-b-que stand on the north side reduced its prices. Like a broken record, Foxx goes along mumbling: "They still hurt." "Ever since I got In town," he says, "everyone has been asking about my ribs women and men In the stands, people on the street and kids on the cor ner. "Maybe I'll be ready to play In a couple of days. The doc says the break mended nicely but that a cartilage had been torn. I don't get much pain when I swing a bit, but it's bad when I run." The town's pretty Interested In Foxx's ribs, figuring they cost about $3,000 a pound, In cluding that fracture and torn cartilage, caused when he was hit by a line drive while with the Boston Red Sox. Baseball players have favor ites, too, and Ol' Double X, who has a lifetime big league bat ting mark of .332, certainly is the center of attraction for the Cubs' younger players. The Medford Gun club will hold a practice shoot at the club grounds at the Four Comers on the Crater Lake highway Sun day morning at 10:30. The sub ject of a registered shoot for the club will be discussed.
