Baltimore Orioles, a failure in three previous major league trials,

back to another shot in the big , time today and threatening organized baseball's all<4ime home run mark in the process. The husky, 29-year-old outfielder, who failed to make the grade with Cincinnati, the New York Giants and Cleveland In: dians, already has clouted 21 homers and at the rate he’s traveling, he'll wind up with 70. ” » - THAT would be one better than the record. of 69 homers: hit by slugging Joe Hauser of Minneapolis in the’ American association during 1933. It also would be 10 highér than the major league record of 60 set by Babe Ruth’ of the Yankees in 1927. Moss has the necessary power and confidence and he helieves he can crack both marks. “There's no reason why someone shouldn't be able to break the , Tun record,” he said. “My ba eye apparently has improved-—at least I'm not reaching for so many bad balls this season. = # “ 2 “SO far I've managed to cone nect pretty regularly and if I

Phil Haugstad, rookie righthander, held the Indians to five blows in St. Paul last night and it was his eighth victory of the season, The Saints gave the youngster a good lead to work on by rallying for four runs in the second inning, and the Indians never caught up. The Apostles took an early liking to Ken Gables’ offerings and pounded him for 11 hits in ‘six innings, then made it 12 by getting one off Red Barrett in two rounds.
