Cubs Hottest Hitting learn In Big Time Ry UNITED PRESS Nobody could blame Stan Hack, the new manager of the Chicago Cubs, for hanging a “do not disturb” sign outside his Cincinnati hotel room today because he's entitled to those wonderful dreams. Any moment he could wake up I and find that he’s got that seventh place dub of 1953 which caused • Phil Cavarretta such nightmares ; that he finally lost his job as jpan- , ager. But right now these Cubs are the hottest hitting club in the majors. They have a team batting average of .358 for their first six games with a total of 83 hits in 232 times at bat. That's remarka- ' ble, as it is but even more scr con- ' .sidering that the Cubs last season would up with a .260 batting average which was seventh in the National league. The big man for the Cubs in this spree is Randy Jackson, the third baseman. who never before was noted as a hitter except that he rapped an occasional long ball. But Friday night as the Cubs banged out 20 hits for the second time this season in defeating Cincinnati IG-3, Jackson led the way with five hits —four singles and a homer and a perfect night at bat. Rookies Gene Baker and Ernie Banks and old-timer Ralph Kiner also hit Chicago homers as Bob Rush coasted to a six-hit victory. The Dodgers had to battle 13 innings before subduing the pesky Pirates at Pittsburgh, 6-5, as Jack i

Robinson doubled home the winning run. The Dodger veteran previously had stolen three bases including. a theft of home on the business end of a triple steal. He drove in Jim Gilliam with the winning tally. In another marathon battle, the Braves had to go 14 innings before subduing the Cardinals at St. Louis, 7-5, as Jim Pendleton delivered a bases-loaded pinch-single to bring home two runs. Each team scored in the 13th as rookie catcher Charley White homered for Milwaukee. Johnny Logan and rookie Hank Aaron hit earlier Milwaukee homers while Ray Jablonski homered for St. Louis. In American League games, Washington edged Boston, 7-6. Baltimore topped Chicago. 3-1, in 10 innings and Detroit defeated Cleveland, 6-1. The New York at Philadelphia game in the American league and the Philadelphia at New York game in the National were rained out. Washington put across four runs in the seventh inning on three hits, three walks and an error by George Kell to provide the victory against Boston. Mickey Vernon hit a two-run homer for Washington while Jim Busby had a double and two singles. Ned Garver gave further evidence that his one-time sore arm is., sound again when he pitched a six-hitter for the Tigers, who gave him a fine working margin by scoring five runs in the first inning. Frank Bolling's single, Jim Delsing's double, Ray Boone's single, Walt Dropo's single, George Strickland’s error at short on Al Kaline's grounder, Bill Tuttle's single and Frank House’s two-run double gave Detroit its five runs. It was Garver’s second victory against no defeats. The Orioles broke loose in the 10th inning with four hits off lefty Billy Pierce good for two runs. Ray Murray doubled home one run and winning pitcher Joe Coleman, who gave up only six hits, singled in the cushion tally, Vern. Stephens homered for the other Baltimore tally. Friday’s star: Randy Jackson of the Cubs who got a homer and four singles for a perfect night at the plate in a 10-3 victory over Cincinnati in which he boosted his batting average to .615. Rebuilding Plans Are Still Uncertain Lynford G. Bracey, owner of the Adams County Lumber Co, Which was destroyed by fire Monday night, has made a statement after conferring w-ith insurance company officials that the cost of rebuilding the lumber company would probably run around $45,000, according to present prices. Bracey said- that definite plans for rebuilding have not yet been made. The cause of the fire is still undetermined and investigation is continuing. Several people have been taking articles from the burned property and Bracey has warned them that such theft makes them liable for prosecution.

NBA Seeks To Curb Stalling, Fouling NEW YORK UP — National Basketball Association officials were confident today that they finally have come up with a new rt(le that alipost guarantees to curb stalling thctics and foul exchanges. The officials, who conclude their three-day meeting here today, have adopted a rule which-specifies that a team must take a shot at the basket within 24 seconds after gain* ing possession of the ball. Failure to do so will result in loss of possession. The new rule will apply throughout the entire game, and a special clock will be installed in each arena to mark the time. Officials of the NBA explained, however, that the "10-second rule,” whereby a team has 10 seconds to move the ball past mid-court, will still be retained. But they scrapped the old two-minute rule which called for a jump ball after a successful four shot during the last two minutes of regulation time. Another rule change adopted was the penalizing of a team which draws more than six fouls against it in any one of the four regulation T2-minute quarters. • Each additional foul during a quarter will result in the awarding of two foul shots, instead of the customary one, -to the opposing team. During a five-minute“ overtime period, a team will be limited to three fouls with each additional one giving the rival team two foul shots. BOWLING SCORES Central Soya League Pts.
