Chicago Cubs Setting Fast Home Run Pace NEW YORK, (INS)—The Chicago Cubs are swinging the biggest homerun bat in the 78-year history of the majors in an effort to ridicule the crystal gazers and cop some of the National League first-division money. Unless someone finds away to silence the Bruins at the plate, the revitalized crew of Stan Hack will eclipse the major league mark of 221 homeruns hit by one club during a season set seven years ago by the New York Giants. /The Cubs already are ahead of the Giants’ record pace with 61 homers in 42 games—-six of them Monday in a 14-to-4 victory over St. Louis. If rain had not called a halt after seven innings, the Bruins might well have altered the major league mark of eight homers for a game set by the Yankees 15 years ago and tied last season by Milwaukee. Hank Sauer boosted his major league lead with home runs No. 15 aind 16 against losing pitcher Bill Greason, who was tagged for six Os the Cubs’ 14 hits. Ray Jablonski put the Cardinals ahead with a two-run homer in the third but the Cubs answered in their half with Sauer's second blast and a two-run wallop by Ernie Banks. The Cardinals put in a general alarm for Cotton Deal and the Cubs promptly packed three hom--ers and a double into the sSvenrun fourth inning. Paul Minner, who yielded eight hits, led off with a two-run homer. Randy Jackson's was good for three runs and Bill Serena’s, good for two. The second game was washed out as was the scheduled doubleheader between league-leader Milwaukee and Cincinnati. The Brooklyn Dodgers slipped into second place on al 2-inning, 5-to-4 win over’ Philadelphia. The New* York Giants split a twin bill with Pittsburgh, winning the first, 4 to 0, and dropping to third place on a 4-to-3 defeat in the second. The Cleveland Indiaps remained a game in front of the American League pack — losing a tuneup ■ game to Chicago, 6 to 4, and clinching the nightcap, 6 to 3. The New York Yankees were blanked 1 to Q, by Washington and then*fiipped the Senators, 7 to 6 in ten innings. Boston moved into sixth place, dropping the Philadelphia Athletics to the cellar by sweeping their twin bill, 20 to 10 in the highest scoring AL game of the year and then 9 to 0. Detroit took the first game from Baltimore, 7 to 5, and lost the second. 4 to 2. Gil Hodges’ 12th-inning home run clinched it for the Dodgers in the only scheduled single game of the Memorial Day holiday. Other Brook homers were smacked by Duke Snider and catcher Roy Campanella - the latter's first since his return to action Sunday after an operation on his. hand. Bobby Morgan homered for the Phils aud catcher Smoky Burgess hit one good for three runs. Clem Labijie was the winner. The Dodgers announced the optioning of pitcher Joe Black an,d reserve catcher Charley Thomp-. son to their Montreal farm in the International League. Willie Mays' 14th homer of the year—a two-run blast in the second inning?—gave Ruben Gomez all he needed for his tbree-hit shutout of Pittsburgh, which put the Giants in sole possession of Second place briefly. The visitors were dropped in the third. 1% games out. in the windup. Dick Cole enabled Vernon Law to chalk up his fourth win when he singled in the deciding run after Hoyt Wilhelm loaded the bases in the ninth on an intentional pass. Minnie Minoso and Ferris Fain sparked the Chicago victory with two-FUn homers while Bobby Avila homered for Cleveland. Bob Keegan won his seventh in eight decisions and Bob Feller dropped his first.

Bill Vukovich Breaks Record At JOO • Mile INDIANAPOLIS INS—Bill Vukovieh, who set a new average speed mark es miles per hour in winning the 500-mile (Memorial Day race, may also take home a record purse for his second straight triumph at the , Indianapolis (Motor Speedway. The Fresno, Calif., speedster who set the new mark in his fuel injection special, will be the guest of honor tonight at a victory banquet where he may get more than 690,000 of the record 8250,000 purse. Vukovich, third man in history to win the auto classic two straight times, shattered 1952 winner Troy Rutt-nan’s old average speed record of 128.922 mph. The Fresco speed demon earned 813,650 in lap prizes alone'in Monday’s race. How much he wfll gross in other earnings, including a guaranteed $20,000 for first place, will not be announced until Iranquet time. But Jt is expected to exceed $90,000, slightly more than the .record $89,000 he won last year. : Vukovich was not the only driver to better Ruttman’s old record. Second-place Jimmy Bryan of Phoenix. Ariz., and Jack (McGrath of Glendale, Calif., who finished third also surpassed the Ruttman figure? -Bryan whirled around the wind and dust blown course in 130.178 mph and McGrath, the pace maker in the qualification runs, in 130.076. ’ Vukovich, who also won in 1953, is the third man in hist'ory to win the annual classic two straight times. Speedway President Wilbur Shaw turned the trick in 1939 and 1940 When he was a racing driver and Mauri Rose won in 1947 and 1948. A crowd estimated at 200,000 saw’ the select field of 33 cars make their bid for glory. Toward the close of the race, thunder clouds hovered overhead and there was a sprinkling of rain at one side of the track. Temperatures that rose to 88 degrees made the heat a hazard in the.wearing down of drivers and cays.' ■But it failed to check Vukovich’s racing spirit or the speed of his cajr. '?- — | ‘ Vukovich took the lead between the 140th find 150th lap and drove the full route without help from any other driver. The Fresno speedster made only two pit stops • —one less than he did last year. Eight of the first 10 drivers, including Bryan and McGrath, also traveled the full course without help. There were three spins but none of the drivers was injured. Vukovich, his face .smeared with oil and dust, received the traditional victory kiss following his triumph from movie and television star, Marie Wilson. ‘ The victor said : “It was kind of cool this year compared to last. I feel wonderful the way everything has gone. All I need now is some rest and sleep.” Among the other top 10 drivers and their order of finish were: Troy Ruttman, Salem, Ind., 129.218, fourth; Mike Nazaruk, North Bellmore, N. Y„ ?12M93, fifth; Freddie Agalrashian, Albany. Cal.. 128.711. sixth; Don Freeland, Inglewood. Calif., 128.044, seventh; Paul Russo.
