Mel Ott Hits 500th Home Run As Giants Win, 9-2 New York, Aug. 2 (UP.) Baseball's most exclusive fra ternity admitted its third mem ber since the turn of the century today Master Melvin Ott of the Giants. The little guy joins a couple of big fellows, Babe Ruth the old Yankee, and Jimmy Foxx, the great slugger of Connie Mack's Athletics of a decade ago, as the only three who have hit more than 500 homers in a life time. Roar Greets Homer Number 500 came up for Manager Ott of the Giants last night and it was an occasion to remember. It has been a rocky f year for Ott, who as manager of the Giants shared some of the blame for the team's colossal col lapse after a brilliant start that enabled it to take a seven-game lead. If he had any misgivings over how he stands with Ihe Polo Grounds faithful they should have been dissipated with the roar that greeted his historic circuit of the base paths.

The magazine, which circu lates throughout the Pacific, ca bled Baseball Commissioner A. B. (Happy) Chandler and Office of Defense Transportation Direc tor J. Monroe Johnson yester day, suggesting that the world series be played on various Pa cific islands. An article in the current issue presented the magazine's pro posal as the answer to an ODT order that the entire series be plaved in one city if held in the U. S. The article added that Pa cific play would give servicemen "a great treat." Facilities already are avail able for the games at Pearl Harbor, Manila and Guam, the article said, and other fields will be ready for use by October. The cable to Chandler and Johnson was approved by naval headquarters at Guam, indicat ing that if the Major leagues were agreeable, they probably would receive a travel okay from the navy. Secretary of Navy James, V. Forrestal already has invited the series winner to take a 90-day tour of the Pacific to play exhi bition games against service nines.
