Dodgers Edge Cubs, Regain League lead New York, June 2 — (UP) -4' Ralph Kiner and Gil Hodges, the two saddest sluggers since mightjr Casey struck out in Mudville, were menacing the fences once again today, challenging other would-be home run kings who set the early pace tn the majors. Kiner, with 42, and Hodges, with 40, were the major league pace setters on homers last year, and it was predicted freely they would repeat this year. But both got off to miserable starts. Kiner had a back injury which he kept secret from his teammate* and floundered as badly as the rest of the Pittsburgh crew which went deep into; last place and stayed there. Hodges, who couldn’t get into the groove, seemed to be mentally slumped, too, and was pressing at the plate in such a #ay that the Dodgers began to search the markets for another first baseman. , They couldn’t get one and are now glad the deal tell through. Because gloomy Gil suddenly found the range. Due mainly to his big bat, which has produced sour 1 homers in the last four games, they are back in first place today by a full game > over the slumping Giants. Hodges started Brooklyn to its 3 to 2 triumph over the rough Cul>s yesterday with a two-run homer, giving rookie Ben Wade the margin for his fourth victory. Rookie Joe Black saving it spectacular relief ptiehing. He struck out three batters in 1% innings. the last two in the ninth with runners on first and third. Meanwhile, the Giants blew two to the Cardinals, 8 to 7 and 8 to 2 in 7Mt innings. Philadelphia topped Pittsburgh, 5 to 1, then Pete Castiglione and Kiner came through with last-ditch ninth inning homers to give the Bucs a 2 to 1 second game triumph. Cincihnati spoiled Charley Grimm's debut as Boston manager with a li to 0 victory, also attained in the ninth, 'but Braves made 18 hits to win the second game, 9 to 4. In the American league, the second place Red Sox moved to within a game of idle first place Cleveland with a 3 to 2 victory against Chicago. Washington topped Detroit, 4 to 3, then lost, 6 to 3. The

Fire Department Water Ba// Team To State Contest The Decatur fire department, water ball champs of the state of Indiana, will go to Hartford City this week to compete with several fire departments from the northeastern section of state in an annual contest. The two-day competition will include water ball, a hose-laying contest, a novelty truck race, and other features ip what have always been colorful gatherings in the past. The vying of fire departments around the country is mainly to test the efficiency of the department which is always one of the most important in any city. Delegated to. the “rough assignment" are 25 volunteers of the city’s fire-eaters. The four regulars must stay on duty in compliance with regulations. After last years competition, the firemen were awarded the sportsmanship cup for 1951. to spend half a million dollars in paying the expenses of convention delegates to come to him.” Sen. James H. Duff of Pennsylvania, a top Eisenhower manager, retorted that as soon as thtf general sheds his unfiorm he will "lay it on. the line” about all political issues. He dismissed the “yelping” over campaign as an effort by ,the Taft camp to “cover up the steal” they engineered in the recent Texas state GOP convention.

RED, POLICEMAN (CowHwwed From Page Owe) the East German “people’s police.” “People’s police” for the first time also established checkpoints | along the border of Soviet-occupied eastern Berlin nad East Germany to prevent West Berliners from entering East Germany through the Soviet sector of the city. Passage was still, free between East and West Berlin. The crackdown followed the signing of a separate West German peace treaty last week and coincided with reports that the Combnunist East German govern*ment is trying to beat West Germany in rearming and forming its own army. i ~ Although Soviet border guards barred Allied military police patrols from the 110-mile West Get-man-Berlin super-highway across the Soviet zone for the seventh straight day. they did not interfere with other military and civilian traffic. For the second time in a week,\ the U, S* army sent a convoy of three truckloads of troops with full field equipment, infantry weapons and ammunition along the super-highway to Berlin without incident Yesterday. - ' . An arn)y spokesman said the cohvoy was a routine movement of 6th iafantry regiment troops, but its passage served as a warning that the U.- S. army Intends to maintain its right to send froops along the super-highway.
