8LX MEDFOUD (OHZGOH) MAIL TRIBUHS Monday. August 31, 1159 Miil City MIiguo One Homer Off Ruth's 1 927 Pace; Braves Crack Clark With 1 2 Round Tripper 8 By CARL LUWDQUIST New York U.PJ Fans who till think the Braves have a chance to win the pennant are harder to find than a Phi Beta Kappa key in a hock shop, but the Milwaukee madcaps may come up with a consolation prize if Ed Mathews wins the home run championship. Mathews, who would be a cinch to be baseball's "sopho more of the year" if there were such an award, might even win the most valuable player trophy if he keeps slugging the way he has been doing lately. Once again today he was only one homer behind Babe Ruth's record of 1927 after pacing the Braves to 19-4 and 11-5 triumphs at Pittsburgh. Mathews hit three homers in the two games to give him a total of 43 for the season. Six On Top That put him six ahead of his c?e-st competitor in the Majors, Ted Kluszewski of Cincinnati, who has 37. When the Braves also came through with four more homers in the second game, for 12 in the two frays, they cracked another National League mark of 10 homers in two consecutive games set by the Pirates of 1925 The Braves picked up a half game over the Dodgers and now trail them by 10 games even though Brooklyn poured across 12 runs in a hilarious seventh in ning and went on to beat the Cardinals 20-4, with 19 hits and eight walks. The Yankees stayed eight games ahead of the White Sox, beating them 10-6 as Gil Mc Dougald, Joe Collins, and Yogi Berra hit homers, but lost the second game 1-0 when Billy Pierce pitched a four-hitter for his 17th victory and his seventh shutout. Other Games The Indians, who are coming on nicely now when it really doesn't matter any more, topped the Red Sox 6-5 and 8-4. Ted Williams hit a towering 400-foot Boston homer in the first game and Sammy White also got one in a losing cause. Don Larson shut out Washing ton with two hits to win 3-0 but the Senators came back to beat the Browns 9-3. Phil Cavaretta's three - run pinch double gave the Cubs a 6-2 second game victory after the Giants won the opener 10-1 on homers by Al Dark, Wes Westrum, Bobby Thomson and Daryl Spencer and steady pitch ing by Jim Hearn. Karl Drews pitched six-hit ball for the Phils to beat Cincinnati 4-2 and Smokey Burgess hit a ninth in ning second game homer to make it a sweep 4-3 as Jim Konstanty gained his 14th.
