NEW YORK. June 15.-The Bos-

ican League hitting race practically
shockproof by keeping four of their
number among the 10 leaders and
Lou Finney on top, but the National
League is furnishing enough ups
and downs for everybody.
This week Merrill May. third
baseman of the Philadelphia Phillies,
zoomed right out in front with a
1854 average, 33 points better than
last Saturday when he wasn't even
among the leaders.
In the last two weeks May has
skyrocketed from .274 and there's
no way to tell if he's yet reached
his ceiling. His sensational per-
formance overshadowed the hitting
of all the other major league slug
gers. although the New York Giants

PITTSBURGH. June 15.-Pitts-
burgh Pirate fans vision a first
division club with acquisition of
veteran Catcher Al Lopez from the
Boston Bees.
The Bucs have wanted the ace
backstop for years and finally got
him in exchange for Catcher Ray
Berres and substantial amount
of cash estimated from $4,000 to
100000.
Pirate President Bill BensWanger
hailed the deal as not only the So
luton to the present catching prob
lem here but also the ideal setup
for the near future. He's spent
100000 or more seeking a salts
factory catching staff.
Lopez is recognized by smart
baseball men as being capable of
bringing out every bit of talent a
hurler possesses and should assure
us much better mound work" said
BensWanger.
President Bob Quinn of the Bees
dldn share his enthusiasm. He
said: Telling Lopez I had traded
him was one of the toughest Jobs
I've ever done in baseball"
He was the greatest catcher I've
ever seen, wonderful fellow and
wonderful team man. moaned
Quinn. L have some players Id
like to trade and send them to
Hong Kong, but Lopez was the only
one they wanted If enough people
would come out to see our ball games

trade"
The 32-year-old Lopez brings a
.264 lifetime batting mark with him,
but his chief value lies in the artful
and intelligent way he handles
pitchers and his ability to tone up
play of the entire club. He's hi,
