CLEVELAND (UPI) — Ted Wil- 3 liams, who “never dreamed” he’d 1 get there in the first place, is satisfied to settle for the No. 3 1 spot on baseball’s all-time home 1 run list. The 41-year-old Boston Red Sox 3 slugger said flatly there’d be no next year Wednesday night after J the 512th and 513th homers of his ’ career helped produce a 6-1 vic- ‘ tory over the Cleveland Indians and made him the third greatest home run hitter in history. Williams, who started the game tied with HaU-of-Famer Mel Ott , for third place at 511 homers each , now trails only Babe Rnth, who i hit 714 homers, and Jimmy Foxx ■ who clubbed out 534. The obvious question was whetb- ; er Ted would “hang around one ’ more year” to try to pass Foxx and thus become second only to the immortal Ruth on the all-time homer list. “When I started playing ball • back in 1939 I never dreamed I’d ever reach Mel Ott’s total,” said Williams, flashing a big grin. “He had hit 400 home runs by the time I started to play ball. His total seemed so far out of reach that I just never considered catching up to him.” Williams has stated repeatedly this season that not even the chance that he might set additional home run records could induce him to piay in 1961.

| Today's Sport Parade | (Reg. U& Pat. Off.) — By OSCAR FRAUBT United Press International NEW YORK (UPD-You baseball buffs are probably all gassed up today over who is going to be the manager of the year but I’U give you guys Hke Danny Murtaugh, Paul Richards and Cookie Lavagetto — and I’ll take a feller named Soli Hemus. Solly is the squeaky-voiced gent who bandies the St. Louis Cardinals. He has them right up near the top even though this is a team which finished seventh just a year ago. AU of which is due to the fact that Hemus refused to take a lot of lip from a lot of folks. Early in the sbason, everybody from Gussie Busch, the owner of the Cardinals, aU the way down to the left-handed bat boy, was telling Solly in no uncertain terms how he ought to manage the club Solly listened abjectly for a while. The result was that the Cards lost their first five games. Start Scalp Hunt There was an immediate scalp hunt in St. Louis. Solly was a bum. The inference was that he was going to be succeeded by a .lippy citizen named Leo Durocher. Then Solly.took off by himself and told them all to go jump in the lake. Solly was in a squeeze. In St. Louis they have a ball player who amounts to a tradition, a lad named Stan Musial. The fact that Stan the Man was over the hill and far down the back side didn’t mean much to most of the critics. Musial was a legend; the last of their old heroes. He had to play. Not only that, the uproar insisted that Stan had to play first base even though Solly had two other first basemen whose shoes Musial no longer could carry. Bowing to orders, given and implied, Soly put Musial on first and fouled up the whole team. First Basemen In Outfield Bill White, a solid first baseman, had to play center field because there was no place else to go. The same applied to Joe Cunningham. It got so ridiculous that Solly, in an attempt to keep Musial on first, had two first basemen in the outfield. They were great on ground balls —- but flies were another matter. Then Solly chucked it all. Refusing to knuckle down to the screams of the indignant, he planted Musial in the outfield and restored the status quo of the infield. Then, to the accompaniment of more screams and jeers, he benched the local hero completely. On top of that, he didn’t even use the idol of Sportsman’s Park in a pinch-hitting role. Conquers Town, Tradition ' This, they stormed, was akin to using a short order cook in the Waldorf or putting a second lieutenant in charge on D-Day. Solly ignored them. And he sweated with the workaday troops. Hemus developed Julian Javier into a redoubtable second baseman. He came up with some help from pitcher Ray Sadecki. And he brought on Ernie Broglio, once the property ot the Giants, until the right-handed fast bailer took his place among the best pitchers in the league. 42 Report Here For Junior High Football Bob Worthman, Decatur high school football coach and athletic coordinator, announced that a record turnout of boys were on hand this morning to receive their equipment for junior high football. A total of 27 eighth graders and 15 seventh graders reported this morning for their gear. That makes a total of 42 boys. The previous high was 39. Worthman also stated that some families are on vacation and a few more boys are expected to report next week. The first practice session will be at 4:30 p.m., Monday, August 22. All boys are to repdrt to the field in full uniform.

Law Registers 16th Victory For Pirates By FRED DOWN United Frew International Vernon Law’s gunning tor a 25victory season that would match the highest win total by a Pittsburgh Pirate pitcher in 58 years. And that simple statement also explains why those\ amazing Pirates look like they just might breeze to their first National League flag in 33 years. The Pirates slumped at midseason when Law went .into a temporary decline and the experts figured that some one of the other contenders would catch them with a .late drive. But now Law’s back on the beam and the Pirates are whizzing along on a new drive that may soon have ■them out of reach. Law extended his personal winning streak to five games and the Pirates’ skein to seven games Wednesday night when he tossed a four-hit, 3-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs. It was the 13th game this season in which he has allowed two runs or less and raised his won-lost mark to 16-5— the best in the major leagues. Record Within Reach With a little less than a third of the season to go, Law can be the first Pittsburgh pitcher to win 25 games since Burleigh Grimes in 1928. Not since Jack Chesbro posted a 28-6 record in 1902 has a Pirate pitcher topped 25 victories but even that goal is not beyond the durable,- finely-condi-tioned 200-pound right-hander. The victory maintained the Pirates’ five-game lead over the St. Louis Cardinals, who beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-5, in 10 innings. The Los Angeles Dodgers shaded the Milwaukee Braves, 3-2, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the San Francisco Giants, 5-3, in other NL games. The New York Yankees retained their 1%-game American League lead with a 6-0 decision over the Chicago White Sox, the Baltimore Orioles downed the Detroit Tigers, 4-3, the Boston Red Sox topped the Cleveland Indians, 6-1, and the Kansas City Athletics ' routed the Washington Senators, 13-1. The Pirates snapped a 1-1 tie in the sixth inning on Smokey Burgess’ single, Don Hoak’s triple and a single by Bill Mazeroski. Law went on from there to send everybody home in a mere two hours. > Walks In Winning Run The Cardinals scored their de- ■ cisive run when Dick Farrell walked Joe Cunningham with the bases filled in the 10th. Lindy McDaniel, who shut out the Phillies for the last two innings, won his 10th game against three losses. Walt Moryn and Bill White homered and Stan Musial tripled for St. Louis. Stan Williams singled home Frank Howard with the run that gave him his 12th win for the Dodgers and banded Lew Burdette his seventh defeat for the Braves. Willie Jones’ two-run pinch double capped a three-run eighth inning rally that enabled the Reds to extend the Giants’ losing streak to six games. Bill Skowron hit his 21st homer and Tony Kubek drove in three runs for the Yankee*, who scored five runs in the last two innings after being held to one hit’ and one run for seven frames by , Herb Score. Art Ditmar won his ; Uth game although Eli Grba and , Bobby Shantz both relieved when the White Sox threatened in the eighth. « Win Fifth Straight Jackie Brandt, Dave Nicholson and Jim Gentile hit homers to lead the Orioles to their fifth straight win and 10th in 11 games. Jerry Walker pitched six innings of shutout ball to win his third game although Hoyt Wilhelm finished up after Norm Cash homered for Detroit in the seventh. Ted Williams hit the 512th and 53th homers of his career and rpokie Earl Wilson pitched a fourhitter for the Red Sox. Williams’ homers placed him thin} on the all-time homer list behind Babe Ruth (714) and Jimmy Foxx (534) -and raised his season total to 21. He also contributed a double to a; two-run Red Sox rally in the first inning.
