Hodges, Kiner Recovering
From Slumps
By UNITED PRESS
Ralph Kiner and Gil Hodges,
the two saddest sluggers since
mighty Casey struck out in Mud-
ville, were menacing the fences
once again, challenging other
would-be home run kings who
let the early, pace in the majors,
Kiner. with 42, and Hodges,
with 40, were the major league
pace setters on homers last year,
and it was predicted freely they
would repeat this year. But both
got off to miserable starts,
Kiner had back injury which
he kept secret from his team
mates and floundered as badly
as the rest of the Pittsburgh
crew sank deep into last place
and stayed there.
Hodges, who couldn't get In
to the groove, seemed to be men-
Diamond Lake
Fishing Spotty
Fishing was reported "spotty"
at Diamond lake over the week
end with some anglers getting
limits and others going home
empty-handed.
Still-fishing with worms and
trolling with Ford fenders and
worms produced the best re.
suits.
There have been contradic
tory reports concerning facili
ties at the lake and the condi
tion of roads. Word brought
back, however, is that ail con
cessions ire open at the lake
resort and there is little snow
close to the lake. The west route
to the lake is open to two-lane
traffic.
The resort is observing day
light saving time.

tally slumped, too, and was press
ing at the plate in such a way
that the Dodgers began to search
the markets for another first
baseman.
Finds Range
They couldn't get one and are
now glad the deal fell through.
Because gloomy Gil suddenly
found the range. Due mainly to
his big bat, which has produced
four homers in the last four
games, they are back in first
place by a full game over the
slumping Giants.
Hodges started Brooklyn to
its 3 to 2 triumph over the rough
Cubs Sunday with a two run
homer, giving rookie Ben Wade
the margin for his fourth vic
tory. Rookie Joe Black saved it
with spectacular relief pitching.
He struck out three batters in
1 13 innings, the last two in
the ninth with runners on first
and third.
Two Blown
The Giants blew two to the
Cardinals, 8 to 7 and 8 to 2 in
V4 innings. Philadelphia topped
Pittsburgh, 5 to 1, then Pete
Castiglione and Kiner came
through with last-ditch ninth
inning homers to give the Bucs
a 2 to 1 second game triumph.
Cincinnati spoiled Charley
Grimm's debut as Boston Man
ager with a 1 to 0 victory, also
attained in the ninth, but the
Braves made 18 hits to win the
second game, 9 to 4.
In the American League, the
second place Red Sox moved to
within a game of idle first place
Cleveland with a 3 to 2 victory
against Chicago. Washington
topped Detroit, 4 to 3, then lost,
6 to 3. The Yankees and Indians
were rained out of a single game
and the Browns and Athletics
out of a double-header.
Charles Loafs
To Hide Secrets
Pleasantville, N. J. (U.R)
Ezzard Charles deliberately loaf
ed through his last serious work
out because he believed young
Ull Turner was spying upon
him for Jersey Joe Walcott.
That's what co-trainer Jimmy
Brown revealed Monday when
questioned about Charles' un
certain condition for Thursday
night's heavyweight champion
ship fight with Walcott at Phlla.
dclphia.
Eager Observer
Young Turner, undefeated wel
terweight challenger, was an
eager pbserver in the wooden
grandstand during Charles' five
rounds of sparring Sunday.
co-trainer Brown explained
'When Ez was getting into his
trunks I told him Turner was In
the stand. Ez knows Turner is
very close friend of Walcott.
So Ez, he knows what to do,
and he does It. He takes it easy,
gets his exercise. But he don't
show nothing no secrets."
EXCHANGE MADE
Seattle (U.R) The Seattle
Rainers Monday obtained out
fielder Paul Lchner from Oak
land in exchange for recently
acquired pitcher Bill Evans.
Evans had refused to report.

Stars Seem
About Ready
To Move Up
San Francisco (U.R) It has
taken Hollywood some time to
get around to it, but the Stars
now seem about ready to exert
pressure on San Diego's league
lead.
Hollywood, a team which is
supposed to have everything
pitching, hitting, fielding and
speed, used most of its resources
to the fullest in winning the
final three games of a series
with Oakland.
Pinky Woods blanked the
Oaks Saturday. Then Sunday the
second-place Stars edged within
four games of San Diego by
whipping Mel Otts lads, 8-2,
and 11-2. Johnny Lindell knue
kleballed a five-hitter in the first
game and the Stars tallied 10
runs in one inning to win the
second.
Portland Splits
The first-place Padres split
with Portland losing to Fred
Sanford's three-hitter, 4-1, but
winning 3-1 in the overtime
nightcap as Jack Graham
clubbed an eighth inning homer.
The inconsistent San Francisco
players moved to within half-a-game
of fourth-place Los An
geles by nipping the Angels
twice, 8-2 and 5-4. And in a
twi-night twin bill, Sacramento
replaced Seattle in the cellar
by losing to the Rainers twice,
7-5 ajid 6-3.

with a heave of 50 feet, 2V4
inches.
Oregon swept the 880, won by
