Bilko Smashes 50th Homer as LA Loses; Portlanders Divide SPORTS By SCOTT BAILLIE United Pri Sporli Writer If Steve Bilko intends to break Tony Lazzeri's Pacific Coast league record of 60 home runs the Angels' baby-faced "bomb' had better get started. Bilko clubbed his 50th round tripper of the season Sunday while Los Angeles was splitting a double header with Seattle. He now has 24 games left in which to hit the 10 which would dead lock the late "Poosh-'em Up's" mark or 11 to smash it. It sounds easy, especially as he is facing the close fence to night In Portland for a starter But cold figures indicate that he has hit for the circuit on an average of one every three games and if he keeps this ratio for the next 24, he'll fall short with a total of 58 for the year. In addition to having to better that pace, he only has nine more games to play In Wrlgley field which Is duck soup for his type of blasts. Balcana Homer Wins Bilko homered for number SO Sunday with the bags depopu lated as the Angels lost to the Rainiers. 8-5, in the opening game. His clout was overshad owed by a thre -run homer off the bat of Bob Balcena which meant victory for the Suds. But Gene Much smacked his 20th homer of the year in the ninth inning of the extra-frame nightcap to earn Los Angeles a 2-1 victory and keep the league- leaders 14 games ahead of lag ging Seattle. Vancouver Inaugurated Sun day baseball in its home park by splitting a double header with Portland that almost boiled over into a genuine pitchers battle during the first game.

NICHOLS UnMed Press Feature Writer Washington (U.R) A lot of dads are fretting this season, when they should have done a - -thinkina: Ions' ago. Plain fact is that it takes a cons iderable stack of long green to fi. nance a boy or girl in higher learning. A U ... X .1 Uirmu MCHOII " " " me least a pop can figure on to send one kid through college is $1200 a year, and that doesn't include dough for any smokes or cokes. If the young hanker for the Ivy League or some of the fancy women's colleges, the old man can figure on digging up from $2,500 to S3.000 a student or more depending on the tastes in furs and tweeds. Graduates Earn More The financial advantage to a college education is this: Statis tics show that the college grad in a lifetime earns an average of $265,000. A high school grad can plan on only $165,000. Some il literates run above these aver ages, but striking oil or hold ing a winning ticket on the Irish Sweepstakes depends most ly on luck. Some bright kids get help from scholarships, but there aren't enough to go around. And most of them don't pay the whole tab. And girls don't make very good varsity quarterbacks. Also scholarships for playing of the bassoon and the flute are lim ited to the best of the class in bassoons and flutes. Of course there's, the where 1 there is will there is way school. A lot of self-made men and women have helped to father their own education. Push ing a broom or washing a dish in exchange for a bowl of soup and a small steak never did any body in. I'm not exactly self- made, but if I never wash an other dish I claim I'll be a cou ple of furlongs ahead of most housewives. I washed dishes in the University of Iowa Hospital, which owned a lot of crockery. Today, there are about 700.000 college students who have out side jobs. It isn't easy to work and study, but a diploma seems to mean something. Pay As You Go Today, there is also an Install ment or pay-as-you go plan to educate youngsters. Education can be bought just like you fi nance a house or a car or a vacuum cleaner. If pop wears a hunted animal look it is understandable. Since 1940, not too long back, the over all cost of one year of college has doubled tuitions, keep and the like. Even if dad pays by the less painful monthly plan, he still has to pay for everything. Every thing runs into a multitude of things like books, fancy clothes and money to take the gal friend to a flicker. Clothes didn't mean much in my day, except for maybe rent ed formal gear a couple of times a year. Most days we wore work shoes and baggy trousers. A crease in the pants attracted stares. But that was a long time back. Monday, August 27. 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SETET Daniel Apparently Winner in Texas Dallas, Tex. (U.R) Sen.

Who is mainly responsible for your family's health? It's you the housewife. And our fine national health record testifies to the good job you're doing on this score.

How far would the charitable operations of these groups get without your help? And your family's financial standing depends as much upon your ability to manage money as it does your husband's ability to earn it. Your family savings program is as much your responsibility as it is your husband's. That's why so many women today are urging their husbands to invest in U. S. Series E Savings Bonds.
