Because he led the majors in home runs last sea son with 49 and has been given the green light to "swing away" this season. But Mister Muscles holds that it all combines to help instead of hinder. . "I've proved to myself now that I can do it," he explains carefully. "When you're fighting to reach the top, say in the mat ter of hitting home runsi you have a tendency to tighten up. When'you try too hard you over swing and the first thing you know you've lost your timing." ( Ted's system for battling this pressure is "just to swing and let the home runs take care of themselves." "They'll come If you just meet the ball,". Kluszewski asserted. I've proved this by hitting at least three home runs this season on pitches which had me com pletely fooled. In those cases, I just managed . to meet the ball without overswinging and the ball took a long trip." They figure to "take a long trip" when Kluszewski meets them squarely. Regarded as the most powerful man in baseball, the 6-foot ,2-inch,. 23 5-pound in fielder is a man of whom" it is said "even his sweat has mus cles." - - That power made him an All Big Ten end at Indiana in 1945, the year the late Bo McMillin's "Po Lil Boys" won the confer ence grid crown. It also helped him to a pair of minor league batting championships his first two seasons in organized base ball. In 1946 at Columbia he led the Sally League with .352 and in 1947 at Memphis he paced the Southern Association with .377. Yet it wasn't until last season, his eighth in the majors, that those muscles really paid off. He compiled his highest big league batting average with a .326 mark as he led the majors in home runs and in runs batted in with 141. "But I figure . I'll hit more home runs by not thinking of them," he revealed. "I'm just swinging the bat. "Yet," Kluszewski smiles, "if I do get close to Ruth's record I know the closer I get the tougher it will be." Stomps?) Ufe. III!

(U.R) Ontario Elks will meet here tonight to protest an Idaho High .School Interscholastic Activities ' asso ciation ruling that could sound the death knell of the annual all-star football classic here. The association's board . of limiting participation by Idaho schools, coaches, school officials and employees in all-star con tests unless those contests have been approved by the board of control. Specifically Armed Jerry Cammann, Vale High school athletic director, said the rule was. aimed specifically at the annual Elks classic here, since m it was the only all-star contest in which Idaho teams played. The game, which raises funds for Oregon and Idaho Elks chari ties, draws players from the Snake river and Boise river val leys in Oregon and Idaho. ' Cammann said that unless new means of recruiting Idaho prep players, the ruling may mean the end of the Ontario all star game, which normally is played in August.

St. Mary's runs were scored on walks. Report Awaited From Larsen on Italy Incident New York (U.R) The U.S. Lawn Tennis Association was waiting today for an official report from Italy on the "ball boy incident" that has re sulted in the suspension of for mer National champion Art Larsen of San Leandro, Calif. The impetuous Larsen, southpaw who held the U.S. title in 1950 and currently is ranked fourth nationally, re portedly slammed a ball at an Italian ball boy during a tour nament at Genoa on Saturday. The ball struck the boy in the face and he left the court crying as the crowd booed Larsen loudly. Larsen finished runner-up in the tournament, bowing to Italian champion Fausto Gar--dini in Monday's final round, 6-4, 8-6, 6-2. The suspension placed on him Monday by the USLTA prevents him, at least temporarily, from taking part in any more European tournaments.
