Giants Blast Near To Lead On Home Runs New York. July 2. ifPI The slam bung Giants still haven't many trackers who think they can win the pennant, but It seemed almost certain today that one coveted title the all-time major league home run championship will tie theirs long before the season ends Led by baseball's new murderers' row of Johnny Mize. Walker Cooper, and Willard Marshall, the Giants have smashed 90 homers In 62 game* and need only one homer per game in their -remaining 92 game* to equal the ell-time one season output of 182. eet by- the 1936 Yankees if it i* any consolation to the Giants, the Yankees won the j»enriant In (heir bumper home run year The bombastic polo grounders moved ever so close to the lead with a 15 to 3 slaughter of the Brave* at New York last night. The Glantii, who are now within two pe centage points of the second place Dodgers and within four of the leading Braves, started out the carnage off all-star selectee Johnny Sain with their third eightrun Inning of the SMUon In the first. They made five homers and 16 hits before rain met cifolly brought a halt to the game In the seventh. It was homer 21 for major league leader Johnny Mize, with runneru|M Willard Marshall and Walker Cooper each getting their 17th. Bobby Thomson got his 10th. and Buddy Kerr hl* third. Rookie luirry Jansen, who had the easiest job in the park, whizzed to hl* sixth victory and had trouble only with Tommy Holmes who got two homers and a triple to drive in all of Boston's runs ' The Phils downed the Dodger* at Philadelphia, 5 to 3. Joe Hatten had his usual sixth inning Jitte:s. and the winners scored all their runs then, it was the fifth straight time that the usually effective southpaw had blown up in the sixth. After he loaded the base* with none out, Clyde King came on and Jim Tabor doubled to *end in two runs. Two more walks forced another run aero** after which pinch-hitter Don Padgett's two run single completed the damage. Erv (Foul Sack) Dusak, a young man with a special talent of hitting his homers when they win games, delivered one in (he ninth to give the Cardinal* a 2 to 1 decision over the Pirates at Pittsburgh. The Cards made their first tally off Ernie Honham as the resuP of a third inning error, ending his string of scoreless innings at 21. Dunak's homer wa* the first earned run off Bonham in 27 Innings. Rookie Jim Hearn won his fourth game, giving up only six hits. The Indian* lost Iha (cervices of Ace Bobby Feller, perhaps for some time, when he retired after two Inning* with a pulled back muscle, but Nieve Gromek's five-hit relief Job the rest of the way gave them a 9 to 3 triumph over the Browne at St. Louis. Ellis Kinder, bidding for his sixth straight triumph, was touched for five run* In the seventh on a three-run homer by Ken Keltner and a two-run smasn by Hank Edwards, who previously had doubled In two other runs. Vern Stephen* and Jeff Heath hit Brownie hornet*. Al Benton held the White Sox to three hits as the Tigers won a 2 to 1 decision in which the winning run was scored on a walk, a pop-fly single by Ed Mierkowicz that got lost in the sun. and catcher George Dickey's wild throw on a stolen base. Ed Lopat scattered seven hit* In defeat. No other major league games were scheduled Yesterday's star -Erv Dusak of the Cardinals, whose homer In the nlffth produced a 2 to 1 victory over the Pirates. o Gold Is so ductile that one gram of it has been drawn Into a wire two miles long, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica.
