By JACK HAND

 Twice last night the Pirate slug ger tied major league marks as he hammered Nos. AT and AS oil Philadelphia Phil pitching. The marks were most homers with bases full in a season-four-and most homers in consecutive at bats = four.
 With IT games to go, IA of them at Forbes Field, the 26-year-old Kiner car beat the Babes 1927 score of 6 if he keeps up his terrific September pace.
 Right now he trails Ruth by three games as he has his 48th in game No. 137 while the late Bambino smashed his 18th and 49th in No. l34. However, Ruth didn't connect with his 50th until game No 138.

 Munger faced only 2S Giants, walking one man, in copping a tight duel from Dave Koslo. After Sid Gordon singled in the second, he retired 16 in a row until he walked Bobby Thomson in the eighth. Bobby was cut down in a double play.
 Brooklyn exploded for three runs in the 10th inning, two on Jackie Robinson's triple, to overcome Cln- cinnati, 6-3. The Dodgers were losing 3-2 with two out and mo- body on in the ninth. Doubles by Gil Hodges and Carl Furillo sent the game into extra innings.

100000 Believed
Concealed in Home
PHILADELPHIA.
BY the kssoeiofed Press

PHILADELPHIA, July 5.-Au-
thorities today awaited a court
order permitting an intensified
search of a home where they said
q woman recluse lived like a beg
gar despite the fortune at her
command.
A preliminary survey Of the
eluttered building yesterday re-
vealed the woman was worth at
least 5000, 900, authorities esti-
mated. but she chose to live on
semi diet of bread and
milk.
The woman, Mrs. Catherine S.
Ritter, 70, was found dead Sun
day on her trash-blanketed bed.
The house was crammed with
rubbish and litter.
Police said they suspected that
somewhere in the maze would be
found a clue to the whereabouts
of possibly 100000 Mrs. Ritter is
believed to have hidden away.
Collected Rents Regularly.
Police said rents collected from
tenants of about IA houses she
owned were brought to her regu-
larly. Neighbors told the investi-
gators they knew virtually
nothing of the woman except that
she used a tiny vestibule as an
office" from which she conducted
her outside contacts.
About two weeks ago, two
neighbors related. Mrs. Ritter had
opened the front door and sent
them to a store to buy her bread
and milk.
The investigation of Mrs. Rit-
ter's death was started by neigh
bors who complained OF "odors"
emitting from the house. They
called the Philadelphia Gas Co.
and an employe, John Snowden,
told police he was unable to gain
entrance.
Police broke into the house and
found the woman's body. They
said she had been dead about
three or four days" Death was
attributed to natural causes"
Separated From Husband.
A niece, Mrs. Lillian Kinkel,
told police Mrs. Ritter had been
separated from her husband for
many years. Mrs. Kinkel said
her uncle was "gentleman's tai
lor" who had settled on her aunt
at least half the % houses he
owned Is years ago.
The niece was uncertain about
Mr.. .Ritter's present whereabouts
but told police she believed he
was still alive, and may be in
New Jersey somewhere.
Authorities. trying to get an
estimate of Mrs. Ritter's wealth,
added up properties worth "at
least $35, ,000," trust funds total
ing $65,00O according to Mrs.
Kinkel, and an estimated $780,
900 in income over the years that
the recluse Is believed to have
hidden away.
Mrs. Kinkel said her aunt had
given birth to two children, boy
who died at the age of one year,
and girl who lived only two days.

timated $4,000 production work.
ers. was the second major auto
firm to get the demands. Nego-
tiations on q new contract have
been going on with Ford Motor
Co. since June 2.
The, union refused TO disclose
what it was asking of Chrysler.
1t was believed the demands

retire at the age Of IS after rs
years Of service. q health and vel
fare plan. and an indefinite wage
increase.
These are the objectives Of the
union in Ford negotiations.
The Chrysler contract does not
expire until August /. 1850. How
ever, it allows the union to reopen
the wage clause once this year. Bar

economic matters only. Negotia-
tions were expected to begin soon.
