Giants Whip Cubs, 4-3 as Mel Ott Breaks Runs-Batted-in

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.

Jimmy Foxx' Broken
Ribs Mending Nicely;
Chicago Fans Worried
By Charles Chamberlain
Chicago, June S OP) Jimmy
Foxx has been spending the
last three days answering ques
tions about his now famous ribs.
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. Several
visiting shooters connected with
the army cantonment are ex
pected to shoot as well as two
well known California shooters
who have sent word they will
attend the event. The public is
invited either as spectators or
to shoot with the local shooters.
The annual Oregon state
championship trapshoot will be
held at Eugene June 18 to SI
and a representative group of
southern Oregon shooters will
attend. The Grand Pacific han
dicap shoot in Portland will be
held the latter part of July.
