June 4 —(l’Pl It'* the kind of "hoom-hoom-boom" that happy Americana relish these days after those heart-break* Ina war yeara when ail the gun* had bullet* in them, and It began to look today like the hallpark cannonading may produce some all-time major league home run records. The home run total for the majors soared past the 400 mark with the season about one fourth gone yesterday in a bumper day In which 11 route clouts brought the figure to 401. with 221 thus| far in the National league and ISO in the American. In the National, where the alltime season record for homers is 892 for the 1930 campaign, the clubs have an excellent chance of surpassing the mark, although It' may take some more outfield en-j gineering to turn the trick in the!

The principal dam-| aging blow by the Cubs was Clyde I McCullough's homer which gave Chicago a total of Ifi for the season. The Cardinals used a two-run homer by Stan Musial as the principal tool of victory in a 3 to 0 triumph over the Braves at Boston in which heart break came to sophomore Warren Spahn. who lost a five-hitter and suffered his first defeat after eight straight victories. Mtislal's homer, number 26 for the Cards, came in the fifth after Al Schoendienst had tripled and Erv Dusak had doubled. George Munger, holding Boston to six hits, scored hi* fourth victory against one loss. The Dodgers swept a double bill with the Pirates, getting plenty of hits but no homers as they won,
