Stan Musial passed Ty Cobb
today and the St. Louis Cardi
nals entered into the spirit of the
occasion by passing Milwaukee
. to take over the National League
rlead.
All this passing was accom
plished when the Cardinals de
viated the Giants. 8-0', Thursday
night to take over first place by
two percentage points over the
Male Braves.
. Tt 'I r- ., .
me oo-year-oia Musial sup-
; pnea most of the impetus with a
perfect night at the plate that
mciuaea a pair of two-run
-homers and two singles.
T Stan the Man passed Cobb with
; his second homer of the game in
, the sixth inning. The blow, his
; 24th circuit of the season, was
; the 1.140th extra base hit of his
; career and put him in third place
ahead of the Georgia Peach in
j that department. Only Babe
; Ruth, with 1,356 extra base hits,
; and Lou Gehrig, with 1,190 are
; ahead of MusiaL.

I to six hits in registering his
; ninth victory. It was the Cards'
sixth straight win.
Senators Edge Chisox
; In the only other National
; League games scheduled, Cincin-

and Brooklyn mauled Chicago,

, 7-5, and Washington beat the
J White Sox, 5-4, in the only two
American League games sched

Gil Hodges of the Dodgers set
a National League record with
the 13th grand slam homer of
j his career as Brooklyn rapped
out 18' hits and took advantage
of six Cub errors. Hodges' grand
slam wallop off Dick Littlefield
enabled him to pass Rogers
Hornsby and Ralph Kiner. who
J held the previous record of 12
grand slam home runs.
Sandy Koufax checked the
Cubs on four hits whilp strikinff
I out 11. Ernie Banks' three-run
homer in the fourth accounted
for all Chicago's runs.
Rally Falls Short
The Tigers had to call on
Frank Lary to stem a four-run,
ninth-inning rally after Fra'nk
Malzone belted a three - run
homer off Duke Maas. Harry

PATHS OF GLORY
Williams Doesn't Care jf
He Wins Batting Crown
By JOE PHELAN
United Press Sports Writer .
Boston (IP) Ted Williams, the
best bet to cop the 1957 Ameri
can league batting championship
said today, "It doesn't make any
difference to me whether I win it
or not."
"I'll be happy if I am the lead
ing batter this year but if I
don't make it the h with it
'I don't give a damn either
way," he added with typical can
dor. Williams, who reaches the
Jack Benny age of 39 later this
month, appeared on the surface
at least to be satisfied that he
had surpassed one pre-season
goal and was on the verge oi
eclipsing another. He said last
February he would be "darn
happy and very satisfied" if he
hit about 25 homers and played
in 100 games.
Today, with 29 homers and 93
games played, he said he di not
have any projected goals for the
rest of the year.
Just Lucky
"I have been feeling great and
I'm probably lucky that I hajjp
played as much as I have so
far."
Despite Ted's declaration of
indifference there are not many
persons close to baseball per
haps including William himself
who believe that the Hed Sox
star is not, only interested in
grabbing his fifth league batting
title but the triple crown as well.
It's more than obvious that
anyone Ted's age would be
thrilled to win any batting title
but especially Williams ac
knowledged the most astute stu
dent and concomitant master of
the art who would secretly
like to give Mickey Mantle his
come-uppance.
.Williams' chances of taking

the three-way championship pro
duced as many sets of odds. In
games through Thursday, he was
batting 1.381 and his 21-point
bulge over Mantle there made
him the top choice in that de
partment. Close On Homers
The home run battle was def
initely up for grabs with Wil
liams' 29 the best by one over
Mantle over the same period.
However,- the Yankee slugger
held a 10-run edge in the RBI
column and looked to be the
winner there for two good rea
sons: New York has the happy
knack of getting men on base
in front of Mantle while the
Red Sox are lacking in that ef
fort as witnessed b,v the fact that
Williams has roughly about one
third of Boston's homers and
lightly less than the team's RBI
total. Equally important is 'the
facUthat Williams has received
24 intentional passes and seems
"doomed" to get many more,
especially with multiple base
runners. Williams doesn't predict vic
tory in ar.y department, saying
"I might slump anytime and
drop like a lead fishing sinker"
with a Candid appraisal of his
current batting streak . . . but
hoping he wouldn't. ' 1

The spotlight was on Essig, the

the golf course," because of his
quarter final upset of defending
champion Junie Buxbaum in a
19 hole thriller.
Essig,. who selected Louisiana
State university for his .educa
tion because he could play golf
there all winter, kept the pres
sure on the former Memphis pro
throughout their three.- hour
match Thursday.
Essig, ickname "The Kid"
by the admiring gallery, took a
one stroke lead with a birdie on
ihe par three fourteenth but a
wayward drive for a bogie on
the 18th gave Buxbaum another
chance. . , .
Both, players put well-placed
drives 200 yards from the green
on the 415-yard 19th and Esslg's
second shot put him seven feet
from the cup. Buxbaum hooked
out of bounds and his third
stroke put him 50 downhill feet
from the pin. When he missed
his second putt, Buxbaum smiled
"I guess you can make it in four,
can't you?'.' and shook Essig's
hand in congratulation.

Major League Teams
Examine California
By HAL WOOD
United Press Correspondent
San Francisco (IB Swaying
palm trees and good weather!
Fans yearning for major league
teams! Big stadiums and plenty
of parking space! And millions
in California money floating
around! . t
Sounds like a baseball mag
nate's paradise, doesn't it?
Well, it may -be at that. But
before Horace Stoneham's Giants
switch to San Francisco and
Walter O'Malley's Dodgers head
for Los Angeles, we might take
oh tnose rose colored glasses for
the moment.
The 5,000,000 fans in the Los
Angeles area and the 3,000,000
in the San Francisco Bay region
will undoubtedly turn out in
multitudes at the outset, but
there are a few ointment flies.
There are beautiful six and
eight-lane freeways right to the
ball park frontdoors. But, for
example, let's take a look at the
Los Angeles situation.
As is well known, that is a
sprawling town. The population
is big but at is pread over a lot
of territory and some of the
people will have to travel 50
miles to see a ball game.
Arena To Seat 50.000
The new stadium will be built
in the Chavez ravine at the inter
section of freeways from Pasa
dena, Hollywood, the Harbor
and Santa Ana. Plans now call
for an arena seating 50,000 with
space for 20,000 cars. There are
big Negro 250,000 and Mexican
300,000 populations and they are
avid fans with players like Don
Newcombe and Roy Campanella
assured draws.
There are about 2,000,000 TV
sets in the area and when pay-
TV lines are set up, that may
prove a big factor in the finan
cial success of the move.
Weather - wise Los Angeles
probably will offer the best in
the majors. Down through the
years the Angels of the Pacific
Coast league average only two
or three rain-outs per season.
San i Francisco is - something
else again. The stadium, will
probably be built near the bay
at a spot . called South . Basin
which is pretty fcvell protected
from the wind and fog. But let's
face' it the worst weather in
San Francisco is in June, July
and August.
Fans In Wraps
It is cold and foggy during
those months and to attend a ball
game, most people wear top
coats and some carry hardwarm-
ers. fans also consume enormous
quantities of beer, coffee, hot
dogs and peanuts to keep

One thing puzzles San Fran
cisco local baseball people. This
has been an "American League
town" for years wit.i the Giants
drawing ground 7,500 in exhibi
tion gamtes against 20,000 for the
Yankees, White Sox and In
dians.
Another factor is the selec
tivity of California sports fans.
Hundreds 'of thousands play golf
the year round. There is swim
ming, sailing, fishing, hunting.
And there is football. And last,
but not least, horseracing.
Stoneham has said horse rac
ing cut into attendance in New
York. He ain't seen nothin' yet.
Horse Racing Also
There is horseracing in Cali
fornia 52 weeks a year on a
major scale. Hollywood Park,
only a 20-minute ride from what
would be the Dodgers new
home, this year average 31,000
attendance per day in June and
July. From there the horses go
90 miles south to Del Mar where
attendance runs about 10,000
per day.
, Within 15 miles of Stoneham's
San Francisco park will be three
major racing plants Golden
Gate fields. Bay Meadows and

Football r both college and
professional will offer lots of
competition on Saturdays and
Sundays.
It may boil down to this:
'With pennant contenders, Los
Angeles may draw 3.000,000 fans
in one year, San Francisco
2,000,000. With second division
clubs, San Francisco off past
records will be a better drawing
city than Los Angeles. Fans
here, living close together, are
more closely knit in their loyalty.
But you can be sure that
Messrs. Stoneham and O'Malley
have their work cut out for

Tonight
Portland TO The Edmon
ton Eskimos, champions of Can
adian professional football, make
their first exhibition appearance
of the 1957 season tonight
against an improved British Co
lumbia Lion team at Multnomah
Stadium here.
Edmonton arrived in town
Thursday and took a workout on
the stadium turf while the Lions
today.
The Edmonton team boasts a
fine array of stars including such ,
backs as Jackie Parker and
Johnny Bright and lineman Kurt
Burris, a former Oklahoma all
American. The Lions have Paul
Cameron, foFmer UCLA ace, and
Emery Barnes of Oregon, among
a host of other stars.
Edmonton officials say it will
be only the second Canadian
football game ever played in the
United States. The other was
played at Buffalo, N.Y. four
seasons ago.
Multnomah stadium is not
quite big enough for the regula
tion size Canadian field of 110
yards in length plus a 25-yard
area at each end. So the length
will be 100 yards plus 15 yards
at each end. In Canadian balL a
team gets a point or a "rouge"
if the opponent fails to run a
punt out of the behind-the-goal-line
area.
