Mans hit No. 5, his second in two games, as o'ie NewoYoiii Yankees cracked the Cleveland Indians 7-3 Thursday night. Only three other cha'leijers to Ruth's supreme 60 in 1927 ever have been this close Jimmy Foxx, Hank Greenberg and Hack Wilson. Foxx got to 58 with the old Philadelphia A's in 1932. Green berg also finished with 58, for Detroit in 1938. Wilson slopped at 5 with the Chicago Cubs when he set the National ftague record in 1930. Maris, who startled Cleveland defenses withj a drag bunt that ln'ought in a run his first at-bat Thursday night, still is seven games ahead of the Babe's record pace. He has 14 games in which to break Ruth's mafk within the limit of 154 team decisions set by Commissioner Ford Frick. Teammate Mickey Mantle, his total still at 51, fell two came behind Ruth's pace when he failed to connect for tlie second straight game,.

The Klamath Union Pelicans face the acid test tonight. They will host the Buccaneers in a non- league struggle which has attract-! ed state-wide attention. The battle, will begin on Modoc Field at 8 o'clock. . The Modoc gates will open at 6 p.m. and both reserved scats and general admission tickets may be purchased at either en trance to the field, said KU ath letic director Jim Johns. Re served seats are $1.50, general admission $1 and student tick- o ets are 50 cents. KU coach Bob Williams' Pell eleven, one of tfle most spirited to appear on Modoc in recent years, wound up the pre-season practice schedule with a "dress" rehearsal Thursday afternoon. The workout consisted of a dummy scrimmage, signal drills, and kickoffs.

The Indians were so astonished that Rog was ahje to beat it out, Kubek scoring easily. "I guess this ought to prove to everyone that Maris, as well as Mantle, are out there primarily to win ball games, not to break home run records," said Houk. The manager scotched reports that he intended, after the pen nant clinching, to move his twin sluggers up in the batting order! to enable them to get more two-bagger in four times at bat but in tlie first inning Willie Kirk land caught his drive with his back against the right-field bar- Houk. in fact, hinted broadlyricr.

He will be faced, by Mike McCormick (11-14) an oft-l buffeted lefty. Both clubs were idle Thursday. Any resemblance between the Dodger and, Giant squads which played last month at Candlestick Park was nurelv coincidental. It was then that the Giants swept three straight from Los Angeles while hustling the Dodgers along on a 10-game losing strcaK.
