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 homer came off Johnny
Hutchings of the Braves in the
third inning and helped to clinch

world SERIES IN
PACIFIC THEATER
MAGAZINE'S PLAN
Pearl Harbor, Aug. 2 (U.PJ
Seabee Magazine, a navy pub
lication, has advanced a plan for
sports-hungry servicemen in the
Pacific to be grandstand spec
tators at the 19-15 world series.
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.
