HOME RUNS
Being MADE
In MAJORS
Red Sox, Tigers Go Thir-
teen Innings TO End
in Tie, IA 10 IA
BY JOE REICHLER

1t looks as if this will be a happy
and prosperous year for tine swing
rom-the-heel' boys, better known
as the home run hitting fraternity.
Time was when such sluggers as
Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmy
FoxX, Mel OFT, Hack Wilson and
Hank Greenberg had a monopoly
on the four-base wallop. Not so
today. Everybody wants to-and
usually does-get into the act.
Already 81 athletes have poled at
least one ever the fence Altogether
they've accounted fer 159 round
trippers. The list of fence clusters
includes such "stalwarts" as Luke
Appling, Mike, Guerra, Mark
Cfristman, AL Evans, Mike Nc
Cormick and Richie Ashburn.
Appling failed to hit a single
home run in 1879 games last year
Mccormick, Guerra ana Christman
had one apiece, and Evans and
Ashburn put together two each.
No fewer than nine home runs
we're hit at Comiskey Park yester-
day, seven by Washington and two
BY Chicago. That was only one
hort OF the major league record.
Those seven round trippers helped
the Senators outslug the Chisox
l4-12, in a 10-inning donneybrook
Clyde Vollmer, rookie outiielder led
the hit parade with two homars, a
single and double. But it was home
runs by Evans and Gil Coan in the
10th that decided the issue. Other
homer hitters were Washingtons
Eddie Robinson, Christman and
Ed Stewart, and Chicago's Gus
zernial and Joe Upton.
14-14 TIE GAME
The Boston Red Sox and Detroit
Tigers played a 14-14 tie that was
halted by darkness after 10 innings.
This slugging match produced four
home runs, two by each side, vern
Stephens hammered his sixth and
Ted williams his third for the Red
Sox, and Johnny Groth hit his
fifth and Aaron Robinson his
third for the Tigers.
The New York Yankees, aided by
Phil Rizzuto's home run, defeated
the st. Louis Browns, SIS, to in
crease their American League lead
over the idle Cleveland Indians to
three full games.
PITCHERS FAIR WELL
The pitchers Jared much better
in the National League where
Ralph Branca of Brooklyn shut
out the Cincinnati Reds 80 and
Walter Dubiel pitched the Chicago
Cuts to 40 victory ever the Bos-
ton Braves. In other games, the
New York Giants inaugurated their
night schedule by whipping the
Pittsburgh Pirates, So, and the
Philadelphia Phillies won their
fourth straight by defeating the
ST. Louis Cardinals, 7-3.
Sid Gordon, Willard Marshall
and Mickey Livingston cracked
home runs off Murry Dickson to
help Clint Hartung register his
third victory for the Giants. Cor
don, who leads the National League
with five round trippers, also
walloped a double and a triple.

ANGELS ARE

BY. 50L0NS
BY JIM BACON

The Sacramento Solons, only two
games out of first place in the Pa
cific Coast League. race, put to-
gether some fancy slugging and
some fancy pitching to wallop Los
Angeles IL to 4.
Meanwhile, Hollywood and San
Diego continued their dogfight Tor
first place in the loop by winning
their games. The Stars, half
game ahead of San DIEGO beat
Seattle S to 3. The Padres came
behind in the ninth inning to score
three runs and lick San Francisco
5 to a.
Elsewhere Tuesday night Oak
land and Portland split a double
header. The score-7 tc G-was
identical in both games.
frankie Dasso pitched an eight
hitter to the Angels, II OF whom
went down via the strikeout route.
His mates gave him excellent bat
ting support, especially with an
eighth inning blast OF seven runs
that turned the game into a rout.
Pinky Woods, who relieved AIT
Schallock in the fifth, got credit
for the Hollywood victory He
pitched ball. The stars had got
off to an early lead on Try Noren's
two nm homer in the first Seattlp's
Heinz Becker and Tony York then
got homers in the second and third
to tie it up. Two gift runs in the
eighth gave Hollywood the ball
game. Frank Kelleher scored on a
wild throw and Chuck Stevens
made it On a long fly ball.

Won Papen Set Free
By German Court
BY the Associoted Press

NUREMBERG, Germany, Jan
26.-Franz Won Papen, the old fox
Of diplomacy in Hitler's Reich, wa.
set free today by a German De.
notification Court.
The court reversed his previous
conviction as major Nazi offender
the worst type of Nazi, under which
he was serving an 8-year sentence
in a labor camp. It convicted him
of being only an offender, the Sec
ond category of Naziism.
Won Papen, Hitler's former Am
bassador to Austria and Turkey, has
been imprisoned since the end OF
the war. The court, in ordering his
immediate release, held this was
enough punishment.
The court also reduced his fine to
10000 Deutsche Marks $4,000. In
the first trial in April, 1947, his en-
tire fortune except 5000 marks was
conflscated.
The courts ruling barred the
diplomat from ever holding Office,
the right to vote, the right to join
a political party and from jobs in
fiuencing public opinion such as
writing and speaking.
This was the third trial for Won
Papen, who is SO. He first was
tried by the Nuremberg Interna-
tional Military Tribunal in 1945-46
and was acquitted of war crimes
He was Immediately arrested by
the Germans for trial before a de-
nazification court. He appealed the
sentence in that trial January 18

German Goods Competing
With U. s., Clay Declares
By the Associo1ed Press

BERLIN, Jan. 26.-German man.
ufacturing for export has reached
the point where 1t is competing in
some respects with the United
States, Gen. Lucius D. Clay said
today.
The American commander made
this observation in a news confer
ence in answer to a request for
comment about a rising tide of
protest in Great Britain against
Germans underpricing the world
market The British protest, most
of it in the newspapers, contends
that German labor Is cheaper and
therefore German production is
threat to British living standard.
Gen. Clay said he presumed the
Joint Export Import Agency has
fixed prices fairly and properly. But
in some instances pricing may be
unfair. though he emphasized none
were brought to his attention.
The fact, Gen. Clay asserted, is
that German production is on the
upswing and must be considered
henceforth a factor in the world
market.

He has been named inspector
general OF the army and chief of
operations.
British and American military

Ventiris "the best soldier in Greece -
He directed the army's greatest
victory over guerrillas at Konitsa
in December, 1947. However, two
months later he was squeezed out

junior officers from front line fight

President Shifts
District Guard
Control 10 Army
Orders Forrestul to
Name Successor to
Gen. Cox When Read,
By William J. WheotIey

President Truman signed an
executive order transferring
control and supervision of the
District National Guard from
the White House to Defense Sec
retary Forrestal.
The presidential order, which in
effect places control of the District
Guard in the Army Departments S
National Guard Bureau, also di-
,rected Secretary Forrestal to recon-
mend commanding general and
adjutant general for the organiza-
ton "at such times as may be ap-
propriate."
AS a result, recommendation are
expected shortly for successor to
Brig. Gen. Albert Cox, District Guard
commander. who has passed the
statutory retirement age.
Abendroth May Be Named.
The successor is expected to be
Col. William H. Abendroth, so, now
serving as resident member of the
General Staff Committee on Ma
tional Guard policy. He is a former
adjutant of the Idaho National
Guard and has qualified for Federal
recognition as a general officer.
With the appointment of a new
commanding general, it is believed
that a new adjutant general for the
District Guard also will be named
to assist in settling difficulties which
have beset the District Guard since
its postwar reorganization.
There has peen discussion in
National Guard circles, that Col
Charles M Myers. U. S. A., may be
In line for the appointment. Col.
Myers is serving as senior Army
instructor for the euard units acti-
waited here. At present, Col. Peyton
G. Nevitt, former member of the
District Guard and an officer of the
Army OF the United States, is serv-
ing as adjutant general.
Action Had Been Expected.
The Presidents action in dele
eating the control of the District
Guard to the Army has been in
propect since early last year when a
dispute arose within the guard over
a commander to serve In the
absence of Gen. Cox.
Further trouble occurred when
the 260th Anti-Aircraft Coast Ar
tillery, commanded. by Col. Leory s.
Mann, went into its annual training
at Virginia Beach, Va, inadequately
equipped for field service. AS a
result of complaints, numerous in
vestisations were made which re-
suited in reports to the White House
of unsatisfactory conditions in the
District Guard.
