close to Babe Bum s urn p
the year the Babe clouted his never
equaled 60.
One mark was tied and one sur
passed last night. , ' : "
At St. Louis, Ray Boone hit a
bases-loaded homer in the ninth
innings, providing the winning mar
gin as Detroit beat the Browns
7-3. It was his fourth grand slam
drive of the season, tlelng a major
league record shared by nine other
players Including Ruth (in his Bos
ton Bed Sox Days of m, Lou
r-.ohrlcr and Raloh Kincr.
At Washington, Yogi Berra hom
ered in the first Inning of the
New York Yankees' JJ-1 landslide
against the Senators for the Yank
ees' 100th homer of the Mason
the 30th year since 1920 that the
Yanks have hit 100 or more. No
other club comes close to this all
time mark.
The other records equalled or
erased this season Include:
' Most season of 100 or more hom
ers by a National League club 23
bv the New York Giants, who have
12J to date. Old mark: 131 by the

games 20 by the St. Louis Browns.
Old mark: 17 by the Yankes.
Consecutive home runs In an in.

(equals a record held by numer
ous teams).
Grand slam home runs played
vital roles in two National League
games yesterday. At New York,
Duke snider of Brooklyn blasted
his second bases loaded drive In
three games as the Dodgers came
from behind to nip the Giants .
And at Chicago Andy Seminick
cleared the bases with a homer in
the ninth for the winning margin
as Cincinnati whipped the Cubs
10-6 in the first game of a double
header. The Cubs won the second
3-1.
The Yankee's lopsided victory In
creased their league lead to sev
en games over the Chicago White
Sox, who lost to Cleveland . 7-4.
Boston beat Philadelphia 3-2 In 10
innings.
Milwaukee clipped half a game
off Brooklyn's lead now seven
games by winning a double-header
from St. Louis 8-3 and 6-3. Rob
In Roberts became the first pitch
er of the season to win 20 games
as Philadelphia beat the Pltsburgh
Pirates 8-4.
In their last dozen games Wash
ington pitchers had yielded only
16 runs. The Yankees smashed this
mark to bits with a 28-hlt barrage,

Vancouver
Whips
Senators
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Vancouver fashioned back-to-back
wins over Salem Wednes
day night and all but knocked the
wavering Senators out of second
place in the Western International
Baseball League. ,
The Capllanos clipped the Ore
gonlans 3-1 in the seven-inning
opener at Vancouver, then took
the nightcap 6-1. The double win
gave the Caps a sweep of the four
game series and left them only
half a game away from the No.
2 berth. , .
Spokane also cashed in on Sa
lem's misfortunes. The Indians
down Tri-City 6-5 and 12-8 at
Spokane. That Increased their first
place margin to four full games.
In other contests, Yakima shad
ed Victoria 6-5, Calgary edged
Lewis(on 5-4, and Edmonton swept
- twlnblll at Wenatchee, 11-5 and
2-0.
The senators, who managed only
one run in each of their four
games at Vancouver, draw some
thing ot a breather after their
disastrous stand . against the Cap
llanos. They're ticketed for a four
game series with seventh - place
Victoria starting Thursday " night,
while Vancouver entertains the
heavy-hitting Yakima Bears. Oth
er Thursday night games find Cal
gary at Edmonton to start a four
game series, and Tri-City at Spo
kane to wind up their present
stand. Wenatchee and Lewiston
draw on an open date.
Carl Gunnerson limited Salem to
six hits In Wednesday night's
opener at Vancouver. The Sena
tors scored their only run In the
seventh on a double by Les With
erspoon, an error, and a single by
catcher Don Masterson. The Caps
iced the second game in thu first
inning, scoring .twice on three hits
and a walk.
Spokane used three pitchers to
crush Trl-City's seventh-inning
rally In the first game with the
Indians. John Cordell put out the
five after one run had scored. The
Braves outhit the Indians 16-13 in
the afternpiece but fell short in the
run department.
Centerf (elder Andy S k u r s k i
sparked Edmonton to its twin tri
umph at Wenatchee. skurski drove
in four runs on two nits in tnree
times at bat in the opener, and
scored both Edmonton runs in the
second game.
Yakima's Danny Rios spaced
nine Victoria hits as he chalked
up his 16th WIL win against seven
losses. ;

a three-run rally in the top of the
ninth inning.

Hi Hatlieiu s AJa"iw ' 7
bit the road again this weekend
for an encounter who um
semi-pros. -A win for the locals
would give them a good c1"
end their season in a deadlock for
the top spot of the league.
The merchants are currently in
the cellar but a win over Alturas
and a win from Burns who in
vades Klamath the following week
end would put them in a tie lor
the title.
Manager Hatfield plans to use
the same Uneup he used against
Burns last week when they were
in s Frsn Miller will
open on the mound and Ron Ow-
ineQ will 00 me retciviita.
The infield will consist of George
Hanson at first, Dick Lundsten
NEW YORK iPt Gil Turner, a
sensational on--""ch knockout
winner over Fuentes, is
willing to bi time, waiting
for another i ,iot at Welter
Camp Kid Gavnan.
Turner probably will have to take
his place Is line, anyhow, for it is
reported that Gavilan will defend
next against' Carmen Basilio at
Syracuse Sept. 18. No official an
nouncement has yet been made.
"We're willing to wait six
months, even a year, if neces
sary," said George Katz, Turner's
manager, last night at Madison
Square Garden after Gil's KO win
in 2:49 of the fifth round.
"The cut over his left eye will
keep him out for about a month,"
he said. "And I hear Johnny Grat
ton ha.v been promised the title
shot. The kid is learning how to
pace himself, getting a little more
power in his punches. He's just a
kid and he's getting better all the
time."
The Philadelphia Negro said he
followed his battle plan for the
knockout, waiting for "just one
shot." . s
"I never knocked anybody out
with one punch in my life,." he
said. "Funnv thing, it was easy.
Just like I worked it in the gym."
Turner flattened the Los Angeles
lad with a long right hand to the
"button" Just when he seemed to
be hard pressed in the fifth round.
Two officials had Gil out front but
Judge Arthur Susskind saw it even
2-2 going to the fifth. Referee Ruby
Goldstein had 3 for Turner and 1
even and Judge Frank Forges saw
Turner on top 3-1.
A small crowd, estimated at
2,500 with 7,000 receipts by the
International Boxing Club, saw
Fuentes bother Turner as they
fought head to head until the sud
den ending. It was the second time
27-year-old Fuentes had been
stopped in 2 pro fights. Turner
kept banging away to the body un
til he got his opening.
Turner, stopped by Gavilan last
year in 11 rounds in a title bout,
added to his prestige by knocking
out Fuentes, who went 10 with the
Cuban Keed as recently as July
15.
