MEDFORD 22 Homers in Six Major Loop Games; Cleveland Lone Leader By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Spoilt Writer Those poor long - suffering pitchers considered one of two courses today-either fly ing the white flag of surren der or tying it around the throat of that: practical joker who keeps putting more and more rabbit into the base balls. Statistics generally put ball players to sleep. Here are a few though, guaranteed to keep most pitchers awake. -The total of 22 homers in the six major league games played Tuesday w. s only five shy of the all-time record for a seven-game slate! -Nine home runs, only one short of the National league mark, were hit in one game alone. That was the one in which the Milwaukee Braves outlasted the Chicago Cubs, 11-9, despite three homers and a double by Ernie Banks. Seven more homers were belted during the game in which the Detroit Tigers bom barded the Baltimore Orioles, 12-4. Wont To Come The worst may be yet to come, as far as the pitchers are concerned. There are 18 games on tap for today's Me morial Day card. And it was exactly six years ago that the majors set an all time one-day record of 50 homers, with ;6 in the National and 24 in the American. The Cleveland Indians were idle Tuesday, but still took over sole possession of the AL lead when the Kansas City A's nipped the New York Yankees, 2-1. Jimmy Piersall's 10th in ning homer gave the Washing ton Senators a 7-6 victory over the Los Angeles Angels and the Boston Red Sox ham mered four homers in an 8-5 triumph over the Minnesota Twins. In the only other game played, Pittsburgh took over fourth place from St. Louis in the NL by clipping the Cardi nals, 7-6, with a two-run rally in the ninth inning at Pitts burgh. Banks produced most of Tuesday's fireworks even though he was ba-k in the Cubs' lineup for the first time since being beaned last Fri day and waa tormented by a The attractive old brick courthouse that houses the Jack sonville Museum is, itself steeped in the history of the days before the turn of the century.

Ernie doubled his first time up off Milwaukee starter Bob Hendley and then hit three successive homers off Hend ley, Don Nottebart anc- Lew Burdette to raise his season total to 14.

Spring entered the game against Washington in the top of the 10th inning after the Angels had rallied from a 6-0 deficit. But the Senators' leadoff batter, eccentric Jim Piersall, slammed the third pitch into the left field stands to give Washington a 7-6 win and a split of the two-game series.
