Banks Near
Homer Title
Chicago (U.R) Twenty-four
year old Ernie Banks needs only
four more home runs to become
the greatest homer-hitting short
stop of all-time.
At the rate he's been slamming
homers over the left field fence
in Wrigley Field this week, the
Chicago Cubs' sensational short
stop could break Vern Stephens
old record any day.
Banks belted his 34th, 35th
and 36th Thursday off three
Pittsburgh pitchers to tie Duke
Snider of the Brooklyn Dodgers
for the major league lead. He
needs only three more to tie
Stephens' 1949 record of 39."
With less than two years of
major league experience, Banks
joined illustrious baseball
greats Babe Ruth and Lou Geh
rig when he walloped his fourth
grand slam homer of the season
Tuesday. He has 43 games left
in which to become the first
player in history to hit five
grand slammers in one season.
Banks, who claims he isn't
even swinging for the fences,
credits his home run splurge to
a lighter bat he's using this year.

South Orange, N.J. (U.R) Vic
Seixas, a regular on the United
States Davis Cup team, and Ed
die Moylan, who would like to
make the squad, were favored to

Nielsen of Denmark.
Billy Talbert, the non-playing
captain of the U. S. Davis Cup
team, already has indicated he
will depend on Seixas and Tony
Trabert for this year's defense
of"the Cup, but probably won't
name his No. 3 player until the
last moment.
Moylan, it is reported, is be
ing considered for the team, but
feels he must win this tourna
ment to remain in the running.
The New Jersey veteran won
the Meadow Club championship
last weekend when Talbert de
faulted in the fifth set of the
finals because of a sore back.
Ham Richardson of Baton
Rouge,. La., another leading Da
