Impossible? Not the way Banks and Kuenn are going about it. A winning World Series share was worth $8,924 last year and both Banks and Kuenn are good bets to equal that sum, if not top it, in the form of a pay. boost this winter as a result of the way they’re hitting now.

Stengel Watching Braves For Tips NEW YORK (UPD—Secret espionage report from your Yankee Stadium private eye — Yankee Manager Casey Stengel already has his spies watching the Milwaukee Braves to pick up World Series tips. Stengel, with an Wk game lead and only 27 games left to play, still won’t admit publicly that his New York Yankees have wrapped up their third straight American League pennant. But plans for the World Series, not the pennant race, are buzzing around in his brain these days. Your secret agent can report that Stengel already has dispatched special scouts to watch the Braves with specific missions in mind. He wants to know whether certain Braves’ players are doing things exactly the same way they did in the 1957 series. OF Case was caught by surprise last year by a couple of things—chiefly the good fielding of third baseman Eddie Mathews and outfielder Wes Covington—and he doesn't intend to get surprised again. He also wants to know all about the Braves’ players who are unknou n to him. He has heard a Jot of praise about “them two young pitchers who look real good,” an obvious reference to Carleton Willey and Joey Jay. You can bet that these two youngsters and the rest of the Braves’ pitching staff will be studied carefully by a platoon of Yankee scouts and that Stengel will receive a detailed report on each. What a World Series manager wants to know about the other team’s pitchers includes not only a description of every type pitch ]each has to offer but specific inI formation on what each pitcher I is likely to throw in certain situa[tions— chiefly what pitch he usually goes to in a jam. The reports on batters are just as complete. 60 Passenger Plane Crashes; None Hurt MINNEAPOLIS (UPD—A Northwest Airlines DC6B with 60 persons aboard crashed and burned today . just after ta kcof f and aH aboard escaped death.

Emily's Pride Ranks Today As Harness Great DU QUOIN, 111. (UPD—A trim, brown filly with a thoroughbred’s heart. Emily’s Pride, ranked today with the great names of harness racing. The three - year -old daughter of Star’s Pride first trotted the fastest Hambletonian heat ever by a filly, 2.00 1-5, and then shook off the shock of banging into a rival’s sulky to come back and win the 33rd Hambeltonian, harness racing’s classic stake, with a record speed of 1:59 4-5 in the third heat. The win was not unexpected since previously she boasted the best time of the field for a mile this year, 2:00 2-5, and was an even money go - favorite to win, although no pari - mutual betting was allowed and only friendly wagering occurred. Class Tells But after her stellar first heat performance, there came the opportunity- to show her heart. She was moving well in the back stretch, challenging last year’s two- year -old champion, Sharpshooter, for first place when her foot whacked into the wheel on Sharpshooter’s sulky. She broke stride and finished 12th in the 14horse field. Thus, when the field went off in the third heat, she was in the second tier. That’s when the heart, and the savvy of her driver,’ 64-year-old Flick Nipe, told the tale of the race. He let the field settle k down; and in the back stretch moved her smartly into the middle of the pack. When the way was clear ahead, with 3-8 of a mile left, Nipe amoved Emily’s Pride outside and she took over. Emily’s Pride trotted the final quarter in :30 1-5 to win by a half - length over another filly, Sandalwood. Second Biggest Purse The victory paid Emily’s Pride, owned by Castleton and Walnut Hall farms, Lexington, Ky., the s e con d biggest Hambletonian purse-in history. $62,750. | Little Rocky, owned by S. A. Camp Farm, Shafter, Calif., and a 12-to-l outsider, took the second heat. But Little Rocky’s best I behind Emily’s Speed in the third heat was fourth, and he wound up with second money of $26,146. Third" money of $10,458 went to Mr. Saunders, second in the first heat, 11th in the second and third in the final, and Sandalwood took fourth money of $5,229 on fourth, 14th and second in the i three hearts.

Today's Sport Parade (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International NEW YORK (UPD — More than 22 million Americans next week will go back to bowling in pin palaces straight out of x Arabian Nights, Ted Bensinger of Brunswick - Balke - Collender reported today, as the nation’s greatest participant sport booms to the billion-dollar mark. The sport has come a couple of country miles from the cellar establishments of a few decades ago. Among the 9.000 Sites the largest is a 66-lane spot at Hicksville. Long Island, complete with cocktail lounge and baby sitters. One place in Kansas City has a man' who does nothing else, at $5,600 a year, but care for the birds whose cages decorate the establishment. A Family Sport Bensinger, president of the bowling equipment firm, lists these reasons as to why bowling has boomed so tremendously with 35 million people expected to be playing the game by 1966: 1. The attraction it holds as a complete family sport. 2. Increased interest among women. 3. Increased formation of industrial, church and fraternal leagues. .. , 4. The automatic pinsetter, which has done away with the need of pin boys and has speeded up the game. “Women definitely ate leading the new boom,” he explains. “Women’s leagues are growing. Membership in the Women's International Bowling Congress has passed one million, meaning it has twice the membership it had a mere eight years ago.” Find It Fun Marion Ladewig, the pert Grand Rapids grandmother who has won just about everything in the women's howling world, nodded agreement. “Men still outnumber women in bowling, about 3 to 1,” she estimated. “But more and more women are bowling every year. They find it a great form of relaxation and entertainment while it also helps to keep them fit.” Most bowlers find the sport sheer fun. As example, during the recent recession there were 400.000 unemployed in Detroit. Yet during that period the number of bowlers in Detroit increased stadily. And wait ’til the season opens next week.
