Rhodes became the first player
this season to hit three home
runs in a game as he paced the
Giants to a 13-4 victory over the
Cardinals by batting In five runs.
He became the 101st player in
Major league history to whack
three in a game- His batting
average was a measly .167 and
he had hit only three home runs
previously during the entire sea
son. The Cubs squared accounts
for much of the rough treatment
they have received in Brooklyn
this year when they also beat
the Dodgers, 13-4, on 15 hits,
including two homers by Jeff
coat and one by Bill Serena.
Jeffcoat had hit only two homers
previously this season. It was
Brooklyn's worst home defeat.
Bums Drubbed
However, the Dodgers re
mained nine games ahead in the
National League race when, the
second place Milwaukee Braves
dropped a 6-5 verdict to the
Phillies in a night game.
The Yankees boosted their
lead to lOVi games in the Ameri
can League by topping Detroit,
5-4, on 13 hits and single runs in
five different innings, while
Philadelphia again topped Chi
cago 10-8. Cleveland defeated
Washington, 9-5, and the Browns
and Red Sox had an open date.
Solons' Catcher
Draws $50 Fine
Sacramento -(U.R) Jose Mon
talvo, catcher for the Sacramen
to Solons, lias been fined $50 for
arguing with fans during a game
with Seattle.
The huge Puerto Rican was
fined by 'Sacramento President
Eddie Mulligan yesterday for an
incident that occurred during a
game Tuesday night.
Some spectators back of first
base started hooting at Montalvo
when he tried to duck away
from a pitch and accidentally
hit the ball into the infield for
a routine out.
Montalvo shouted back at the
fans before going into the dug
out. There will be no action oth
er than the fine.
PLYWOOD JOINTS Frank
recognition of joints in plywood
walls provides nice visual ef
fects. Here are several suggest
ed joint details. Open joint is
particularly effective.
Plywood Joints
Easy To Handle
Joint details and application
methods in wood paneled rooms
can make or break the finished
job. A little advance planning
will save you both trouble and
expense.
One of the most commonly
used materials for new wall
paneling is inexpensive fir ply
wood. The most economical
grade for this job is a "one-side"
panel that has a good quality
face and a low quality back
where it can't be seen when it
is nailed into place.
Because of the versatility of
plywood, you can get any effect
you want from a semi-textured
effect to natural wood paneling.
Ip any case joint treatments are
important. You can cover them
up but usually frank recognition
of joints can add much to the
architectural effect of the room.
Plan Ahead
Plan the placement of joints
ahead of time to eliminate waste
and for pleasing arrangement. A
basic principle is to start at open
ings with vertical joints and di
vide the plain wall spaces In any
preferred orderly joint pattern
with either vertical or horizon
tal joints predominating.
Flat battens, half round mold
ings or decorative moldings cov
er a simple butt joint and lend
an impression of added height
to the room. One of the simplest
and most attractive joints is a
V made by beveling the edges
of the panel.
Another good joint that is
practical and good looking is an
open joint. In this case, leave an
opening of li" between vertical
panel edges and back the joint
with a plywood furring strip.
The best thickness of plywood
for studs 18 apart is but

New York (U.R) The quiet
man of the American League i$
making a big noise again today.
James Barton (Mickey) Ver
non of the Washington Senators,
who has been playing In silent
anonymity since his one big sea
son seven years ago, is front and
center in the race for the batting
title. And nobody is more sur
prised than Mickey.
"If I knew the answer, I'd
never hit less than .300," he in
sists.
Strange Revival
Certainly it is one of the
strangeest revivals in baseball
history. Because back in 1946,
the man who had been strictly
a nothing hitter marched home
from two years In the Navy to
win the batting crown with a
dazzling mark of .353.
He had never approached it
before, nor since.
Potentially, he had all the at
tributes to be a great hitter- He
was big, six feet two inches, and
close tcj 200 pounds, and he had
a fine, flat swing. One of his
former managers, Ossie Bluege,
criticized him gently as "a fel
low who needs more pep and
enthusiasm."
Back in 1943, a teammate
named Gerry Priddy objected
physically to Mickey's lack of
liveliness in the Infield. Prid
dy's exasperation became so
great that he hauled off and
clouted Mickey on the kisser.
Vernon proved right then that
he wasn't completely Inanimate,
punching back for what wit
nesses said was extra bases.
Vernon, a one time pre-med
student at Villanova college,
played a lot of service ball in
the Pacific in 1944 and 1945.
When he came back in the spring
of 1946, he was benched because
he couldn't buy a base hit. But
once back in the lineup he
caught fire and bounced out of
nowhere to beat Ted Williams
for the batting crown. He was
so impressed that the Yanks re
portedly offered f 100,000 for
him.

After that one splurge, how
ever, Mickey dropped back into
obscurity. Ever since, until now,
he has been strangely silent phy
sicially as well as personally.
This year, though, he has re
captured the touch with a mark
which has been nudging upward
toward the -330 level.
"I' completely relaxed," said
Mickey, making an admission
which comes as no surprise to
anyone who knows him. "I just
get up to the plate lazy-like and
meet the ball. That's how it was
in 1946 and that's the way I'm
hitting the ball now."

Gen. Benjamin W. Chidlaw head
of the Air Defense Command,
has warned that "Russian ad
vances in the field of weapons
of mass ' destruction' makes
strengthening of U.S. air defense
imperative.
Chidlaw said yesterday his
command is a shield "which can
detect some of the blows and
absorb some of the shock" of a
Russian air attack, but added
that "in light of our knowledge
of Russian advances in the field
of weapons of mass destruction"
the shield must be strengthened.
Chidlaw did not elaborate on
the type of Russian weapons,
but the statement was broad
enough to Include the recent
