Apill 27 — (UP) —| The Cleveland Indian*, profiting by the power of example, were even outdoing their ’ teachers." the New York Giants, in home run production today. With 12 homers in five games.! the Indians not only are setting| the home urn puce for both major* leagues, but they are ahead of the pace of the Giants for the early i stages of their record wrecking 1947 season. All spring (he Indians trained In the company of the Giants in Arizona and in a prolonged series of' tank town exhibition games. So when it came time to start the sea son. a few of the Indian batsmen just naturally got the home run habit. Yesterday they put on the most terrific offensive display of the season, getting 22 hits, four of them homers, as they topped the I White Sox. 12 to II at Chicago in I i iiftilngs. Eddie Robinson's second homer of the day in the 14th gave the Indiana the victory. Ken Keltner. the home run leader for !a>th leagues with five, aleo connected for one and lutrry Dobey got the other. Keltner got only 11 homers all last season. latst year in their first five games the Giants hit 10 homers so the Indians are comfortably ahead of the record pace. There was plenty of other hitting too In that four hour struggle in which the Indiana finally protected their status as the only uniteaten club in the majors. U>u Boudreau got five hits), two triples, two doubles, and u single, while I'lysses I.uplen. Cass Michaels and Itave Phllley contributed Chicago homers. Significant perhaps, is that the Giants, wetting the home run paca as usual in the national, also were in first place with five straight

O o | Today's Sport Parade | By Oscar Fralsy I (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) I O O New York. April 27— (UP) — Bats- Ruth wound up his most crucial spring training today by announcing himself fit to go to bat again (his time in the movies The Bambino, after a long fight to regain his health, heads for Holywood tomorrow to supervise for six weeks the production of his life story on the screen. Ruth still isn’t the burly, energetic figure whose batting prowess ■ thrilled millions and made him a national hero. But he has come a tremendous distance back from the shadows which almost claimed him in January of 1946. The Bambino proved that yesterday as he joined the literati by introducing hjs book. “The Babei Huth Story.” at a private soiree. The Babe lokoed good to those who remembered his haggard appearance after his near-fatal operation. Then, and for months afterward, he needed assistance to walk. And those were really dark days for the Bam. and for the kids of America, when he barely could whisper or sit upright. Now he is more like his old self. Those once-hurly shoulders still ulon't extend bis coat to the limit. I But there's a certain spring back in his step and. while the voice I still is husky, there's a sparkle In his eyes. "Feel fine." he rasped In that i i whistling voice, sitting in a cor ' I ner and lighting a big brown cigar. They pushed a table up in front of him to keep away the horde of well wishers and he was flanked on one side by Mrs. Ruth and on the other by two of her friends The Babe waved to a tiny knot of sportswriters standing In another corner and then braced himself perceptibly as the crowd moved in to shake hands. The publisher of the book threw the party and most of those onband were his friends. Bale- finely leaned hack. behind the protection of his companions, and called for a beer And there was a happy smile on his face' when the sportswriters took over. "Phew." he sal-1. The Babe told them that he was ' putting on weight and really felt I much better "Three pounds added since my) Florida vacation." he announced.! "1 weighed 180 when I left the hospital and now I'm up to 214. Eating good. too. Ro tomorrow . we're off to Hollywood to super-I | vise the picture." victorlew to crow about. Getting fine pitching to go along with their - power again yesterday, the Giants scored a 5 to 1 triumph over the Phils at New York, Lefty Dave Koslo. making his firs' start, scattered seven hits and held the Phils scoreless until the eighth. Sid Gordon drove in three tallies with a two run homer and a single and. Walker Cooper accounted for thej other two with a pair of prodigious! doubles. Eddie Stanky had hU keenly awaited day of revenge against the ISMlgers in Boston, sparking the Braves to a 5 to O triumph against the team which callously traded him away. As Bill Voiselle pitched a three-hitter. Stanky got a triple, single, and a walk, scored two runs, handled seven chances perfectly, and broke up a certain double play by crashing into his old infield buddy, Peewee Reese Jim Russell hit a homer for the l)rav«*4. The surprising Browns took over third place in the American when Fred Sanford got the better of Dizzy Trout In a pitching duel at St. Ixruis. edging the Tigers 2 to I by scattering nine bl's. He also darted the winning rally by bitting a double, then coming around to score on singles by Bob Dillinger and Chuck Stevens. The Detroit run was a homer by Bob Swift. Thumpin' Ted Williams and Mel Parnell shared the honors as the Red Sox whitewashed Washington. <i to 0. in a night game. Williams rot three singles and a doulde in lour times up for a perfect night at the plate, while Lefty Mel held the Senators to five hits in winning his third appearance of the season Four of the Bosox runs were un earned, thanks to two errors and a passed bail. > There were no other games scheduled.
