ed their 31st win in last 37 games. r Mathematically that's a pace of .838 and any student bt figures in Brooklyn would swear under oath today that the Giants are in too good shape. A similar case of frustration holds true for the Bombers and the Chiaox 'in the American League. The Indian kept their margin over second-place New York at 3% lengths last night by scoring six runs in the second, inning to down the Baltimore Orioles, 6 to 1. This was very displeasing to the Yankees, who won their sixth in a row by racking Up the Boston Red Sox, 17 to 9, and to Paul Richards' Palehose, who remained six games behind the Tribe despite the fact that their 9-to-O whitewash of the Detroit Tigers represented their fifth victory in a row. The explanation was simple. The Indians have won 10 of their last 11 and have been playing .786 ball over their last 28 games. The Giants, top four-bagger team tn the majors, hit the 100 mark for the benefit of 22,712 Ebbets Field -rooters while Willie (what again?) Mays, Monte Irvin, Wes Westrum and Al Dark all hit the left field seats as part of'a 12hit assault on Don Newcombe, Clem Labine and Ben Wade. The Durochermen tallied four times off Newcombe in the first

inning and erased Gil Hodges* tworun poke off Jim Hearn In the bottom half with another four-run spurt in the fifth. Mays made his major league high total 28 with a tWo-run wallop of Big Newk. Irvin followed with a rocket that sent Don off the premises and Westrum allowed Labine to get into the act by losing one of bis serves.' - Hfearn. going the distance for his sixth victory in eight decisions, allowed the Dodgers eight hits. The big righthander was aided by a bullet throw by Don Mueller In the fourth which cut Hodges down at the plate as he tried to score froip second oqa single and a scintillating cawh by /what again?) Mays in the fifth on a certerflbld blast by Walt Moryn. The panicky Dodgers chipped m four errors to the Giants cause. Bob Turley walked four of the first five batters he faced in the second inning as Cleveland scored its big six against Baltimore. Mike Garcia, pitching with a ruptured blood vessel in the middle finger of his pitching hand, limited the Orioles to six hits as be notched his 11th win. Ray Narleskl hurled the ninth for the BigBear. z . Bobby Avila got two hits to stay ahead of New York’s Irv Noren in the AL’s batting derby. Avila, who socked home two of the runs, is hitting .356. Noren (.254) smashed out two triples and two singles in five trips as the Yanks blasted the Red Sox in a game halted in the top of the eighth because of rain. The Yankees made 17 hits, including three homers and four triples off four Bosox hurlers. Mickey Mantle, Joe Collins and Yogi Berra hit the round-trippers and Ted Williams, Grady Hatton and Harry Agganis hit circuits for the losers. The White Sox made 16 hits, including a homer by rookie Ron Jackson to back up Don Johnson’s four-hitter against the Bengals. Nellie Fox contributed a double and a pair of singles. Jim Pendleton’s double drove in the winning run in the seventh inning as lefty Chet Nichols and the Milwaukee Braves blanked the hapless Chicago Cubs, 1 to 0. Nichols allowed five hits as he won his sixth game against six losses. Howie Pollet was the loser. Peanuts Lowrey pinch-singled with the bases loaded and two out in the 11th to break a 4-4 tie and give the St. Louis Cardinals a 5-to-4 win over the Cincinnati Redlegs. singled and douljfe to run his hitting streak to 2$ consecutive games.

Supplies Os Meat In Great Abundance Substantial Boost In Meat Production WASHINGTON (INS)—Pork and beef should be In great abundance during the remainder of the summer and fat! as hog slaughter increases and cattle slaughter majns at its current high level. The agriculture department sees a substantial rise In pork production, reflecting the increased number of pigs in the spring crop. Production of beef and veal should 1 remain high, since cattie numbers bn farms and ranches hit an alltime record high last January. Department Hveetock experts predict that cattlemen will be receiving prices above those of one year ago for their cattle and calves during toe next few months. „ iHog farmers, however, are expected to Mister a financial setback due to increased production. The department forecast for hog prices to the months ahead is “moderately lower” than during the same period of 1953. It is uncertain yet how the high production of pork, beef and veal will affect the consumer prices. During the heavy cattle output of the past few years, consumer l>eef prices have not dropped correspondingly with prices paid to producers. With an abundance of pork crowding into the market in the coming months, however, the consumer ■ , come more competitive.. and it' is possible consumers may get a price break. . During toe hog surplus ot two or three years ago, pork prices were

Federal liveetOok pppetolteta point out that ho* production was approaching bust .year’s level in late June, and to expected to shoot above the 1953 slaughter rate this month as spring-farrowed hots move th rough slaughter lines. In addition, they say hog stooghter will remain above the 1953 rate through the fall months. Since the fall crop this year also le expected to exceed the 1953 fall crop by about 10 percent, slaughter during the early months of 1955 will be substantially above the level of early 1954.
