BY the Associated Press.

ST. LOUIS, May 23.-Stan Musial,
who hasn't been playing entirely
up to expectations. added some
weight to his bid for No. ! rookie

ing the St. Louis Cardinals into
second place in the National League.
Coming up with two men on base

outfielder smashed his fifth home
run of the season to give the Card
inals 6-to-3 victory over the Gin
cinnati Reds. The triumph vaulted
the Cardinals into second over the
Boston Braves, five games behind

Ernie White. who was driven out
during a 3-run Cincinnati rally in
the second inning, Murry Dickson
and Howard Krist, who received
credit for the victory, his first this
season, but his eleventh in q row.
He won 10 and lost none last year.
Bucky Walters started for the
Reds but was knocked out in the

double in the seventh, and Joe
Beggs came in long enough to serve
the home run pitch to Musial. Clyde
Shoun finished the game for the

Chains Hit Minors
More Than War
By the Associated Press.

DALLAS. Tex, May 23.-The ma
jor leagues farm club systems are
causing more damage to minor
league baseball than the war. George
Schepps, president of the Dallas
CTex) League team, asserts.
"The independents can't hope to
compete with the chain-store oper-
ators, particularly now that fewer
players are available" declared
Schepps.
Look at the standings in our
league. Beaumont, Tulsa. Houston
and San Antonio are at the top, and
all are owned by major league teams.
In the second division are the inde-
pendents-Shreveport, Fort Worth,
Oklahoma City and Dallas"
The rebel president said Detroit
had paid more than 100000 for the
signatures of players on the first
place Beaumont team.
why. that's far more money than
the four independent owners gave

Big Blow as Giants
Top Dodgers, 81
Hit Comes With Two on
In Sixth; Loss Is Third
In Row for Brooks
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 23.-Timely
blows by Billy Jurges and Johnny
Mize helped the New York Giants
sink the Brooklyn Dodgers. So. to-
day as Tom Sunkel, rookie SOUTH
paw. limited the National League
leaders to seven hits in his first
start Of the season.
The defeat was the third in a row
for the Dodgers and their second
straight loss to the Giants, but it
failed to disturb their five-same
lead since the Boston Braves lost
to the Philadelphia Phils.
Jurges smashed q home run with
two mates on base, his first circuit
blow of the year, to bring the Giants
from behind in the sixth inning
and Mics seventh-inning single
with the bases loaded provided the
clincher.
Kirby Higbe held the Giants
scoreless on three hits for five
frames. but Jurges' homer tagged
him with his fourth defeat against
two wins. Higbe stepped out for
a pinch hitter in the seventh and
the Giants notched their last two
tallies of Reliever Hugh Casey.
Dodgers First to Score.
The Dodgers gave Higbe q one
run lead in the fourth, when Johnny
Rizzo walked and went all the way
home as Hank Leiber juggled Mickey
Owens two-bagger in center field
Willard Marshall, who was forced
from the game by an injury in the
eighth inning, opened the giant
rally in the sixth by doubling with
two away. Higbe walked Leiber on
Q wild pitch that sent Marshall to
third and Jurges lofted the ball
into the upper tier Of the left-field
stands.
Casey walked Dick Barteu with
one down in the seventh and Mickey
Witek dropped q double into right
field. After Mel OFT was walked
purposely to I'LL the bases Mize sin
gled to right for two more runs.
That spree ended as Marshall
grounded into a double play.
A two-bagger by Joe Medwick re-
suited in Marshall's injury In the
eighth and led to the final Brook
lyn score. Marshall attempted to
play the ball OF the left-field wall
and was struck in the head. The
ball broke his sun glasses and cut

Output Of Arms

Use industrial Gems
for Cutting Metal
and Drawing Wire

The recently revised figures for
the gigantic armament program
and the intensified industrial ac-
tiyity in Michigan has made un-
precedented demands on all local
companies manufacturing diamond
tools. To meet this new situation,
the Abrasive Dressing Tool Com
pany, Detroit, has launched an
expansion campaign, including the
perfection of new technique for
mass production of red-band and
redi-edge diamond tools.
Industrial diamonds are basic TO
the manufacture of ordnance, air
craft, tanks. naval craft, mecha-
nized equipment and communica-
tons. Latest estimates place 80
per cent of the worlds production
of diamonds at the disposal of In
dustry. An idea of the work In
volved in obtaining diamonds may
be noted in the fact that nearly
400 tons OF demonstrating clay
must be mined to produce an av-
erage of one carat of precious
gems.
Diamonds are made into dia-
mond tools which are used for
turning, boring, roaming, facing
and forming many synthetic ma
terials like hard rubber, casein
compositions, compressed fibers
and other essential defense mate
rials.
