kiner's Battle 10 Tie
Ruth 5 Homer Record
Packs Pirates Park
By Joe ReichIer
Associofed Press Sports Writer

ASsoctofeo FIesS Spofs WfHeI
Ralph Kiner's uphill battle to
equal baseball's most coveted
slugging record-Babe Ruth's SEN
sational 60-home run seasons
keeping the interest of Pittsburgh
fandom alive.
Despite the Pirates dismal last
place standing, the turnstiles are
clicking away at a merry million
plus pace.
The 10 home games thus far
have attracted 1.113,342 cash Gus
toners, tops for any club in the
National League. Very few Pitts
burgh fans make their exits from
any game until they are certain
Kiner has made his last appear
ance at the plate.
Unless a miracle occurs and
Kiner is beaten out of the cham
pionship, this year will mark the
fifth straight time the Pirate out
fielder has won or tied for the
home run crown. Appropriately,
this is the fifth straight year that
Pittsburgh has drawn better than
a million fans to its games.
A crowd of 12,736 got it's mon
ey's worth yesterday when it saw
Kiner clout two homers in Pitts
burgh's 12-11 victory over the
Cardinals. They were his 41st
and 42d of the season.
Game OFF Ruth's Pace.
Kiner now is one home run be-
hind Ruth's pace of 1927. The
Babe used his 127th game to hit
his 43d home run. He made his
44th in his 128th game. A pair
OF homers by Kiner today would
tie him with Ruth's pace.
Kiner already has bettered one
mark. With 81 homers last year,
Ralph now has hit 96 four-bag-
gers in two successive seasons.
That beats the National League
two-year mark of 95 set by Hack
Wilson of the 1929-30 Cubs. 7s
Kiner shared hitting honors
with rookie f1ychaser Gus Bell.
The youngster clouted two triples,
a double and single in six times
at bat. His double in the last
half of the 10th drove in Kiner
with the winning run. The latter
had been purposely passed by
Harry Brecheen to get at Bell.
Action in the majors was cut
in half as day-long rains washed
out the entire big-league schedule
in the East.
Tigers, Indians Gain Ground.
Taking advantage of the en-
forced idleness of the league-lead-
ing Yankees and the third-place

place Indians crushed the Browns.

first and game and a half of
third.
In the only other big league
game, Cincinnati edged out the
Cubs, Us, in IL innings.
A big fourth inning gave the
Tigers all their runs as Chicago's
Bill Wight went down to his 14th
setback. A two-run double by
George Kell followed by Hoot
Evers' two-run single produced
the runs. Fred Hutchinson went
the distance to register his 18th
triumph.
Outfielder Dale Mitchell welded
the big bat as Bob Feller twirled
a f1ve-hitter for his 18th Cleve-
land victory. Mitchell clouted a
three-run homer and added a
double and single.
After blowing a 40 lead. the
Reds came back to tie the game

Election Results
Shock Laborites
By DAVID C.. WILLIAMS

London (LPA)-British Labor
ties are shocked by the results O.
the American elections.
Particularly depressed is the do
minant American wing of the
party. Morgan Phillips, Labor
Party secretary, has often describ
ed the United States as one of the
most progressive countries in the
world. He, like other Laborites, has
credited U. S. trade unions with
having a decisive" influence on
American policy. The Taft victory
in Ohio, against the combined OPP
position of all branches of Ameri-
can labor, has forced them to think
again.
Left-wing suspicious of Wall
Street, which have been shoulder
ing in recent years, now seem like
ly to burst into flame. Many moder-
ate leaders of Labor are privately
saying that Britain may now have
to take a tougher line in negotia-
tions with the United States.
Conservatives are both pleased
and worried. They take the right
ward swing in America as a good
omen for their own party next
year. But they fear that, even then,
they may have trouble with resur
gent, Taft-type, isolationism. Most
of them find the Taft type of re-
action too strong a dose to swallow.

result Of a combination of local
option and action by the federal

law, which originally set up state

since that date has prompted the
mayor to set up a special commit
tee to draft fair rental increase
standards which landlords would
be asked to adhere to voluntarily.
Rents are now on the rise
throughout the country and have
been trending up for the last 10
months. Since January, the increase
has been 20 percent, according to
