Matthews Unlikely To Set New Mark UP — Ed Mathews of the Milwaukee Braves seemed doomed to disappointment today in his effort to equal or surpass Babe Ruth’s all-time record of 60 j home yuns in a seasoh. The 22-year-old . slugger, who i was not even born when Ruth set | the mark in 1927. dropped two homers behind Ruth’s record pace when he. failed to connect during Sunday’s doubleheader with the Chicago Cqbs. And. since this is the time of the year that Ruth stepped up his pace, it will .require a spectacular streak for Mathews even to stay close. Mathews now has hit 37 homers in 118 games and riiufet hit six in his next nine games to be even with Ruth’s pace. Ruth had hit 39 homerg in 118 games in 1927 and had a total of 43 after his 127th game. ■ Even should Mathews blast six in his next nine games to draweven with the record— again, he wijl face the enormous problem of equalling the Babe’s spectacular streak in which he hit 17 homers in his last 27 games. Mathews now has only a slightly better* chance to equal the mark than Ted Kluszewski of the Cincinnati Redlegs. who „ 'hit two round-trippers in a doubjeheader with the St. Louts Cardinals Sun-: day and increased hfs season’s total to 36. Kluszewski. therefore, ’is three homers behind Ruth’s pace and must hit seven in mis next nine games to draw even. Then, he too, would-be faced with the problem of hitting 17 in the Redlegs’ final 27 games. - Kluszewski, however, already has established a new record for a member pf the Redlegs. The previous mark of 35 was set by Hank Saue|, now with the Cubs, in IS4B. ’
