Day ofWi|d S|ugging
By The ASsoeioted Press

The slugging-minded National
League, winging toward a new
home run record, stole the
thunder from the pitching-con-
Scious American League yeSter-
day, setting five new marks and
tying two others with % circuit
blows in seven games.
Here are the records set as
Brooklyn's lead in the National
was cut to 10 games despite a
20-4 romp over st. Louis and
the Yankees retained their 8la-
game margin over Chicago by
dividing a double-header with
the White Sox:
Major league records tied:
/. Eight home runs in one
game by Milwaukee. The
Yankees hit eight on June %,
1889.
National League records set:
/. Eight homers in one game
by Milwaukee. (Seven teams
had hit seven).
2. Twelve homers hit in
double-header by Milwaukee (the
Giants hit nine in a double
header in 1880.
3. Twelve home runs in two
successive games by Milwaukee.
pittsburgh hit 10 in two straight
games in 1929.
4. Twenty-e eight home runs on
the road by Milwaukee's Eddie
Mathews, who raped three yes
terday to bring his total to 43
for the season. (Pittsburgh's
Ralph Kiner hit Is on the road
in 1949.)

Aug. 31.-The Redskins release
of two rockies and the trade of a
veteran to the San Francisco

TO loss to San Francisco is only
the prelude to a wholesale shake

be cut in Chicago and several
others will follow after next

Dave Dublinski, a guard from

Vernon Faces Paige,
Hoping 10 Slave Off
Rosen' S New Threat
Special Disp1ieh 10 The Sior

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 31.-Al Rosen
is breathing down Mickey Ver-
mons neck again in the Ameri-
can League batting race and so
tonight the Washington first
baseman will be trying to give
Satchel Paige and st. Louis fans
something to remember him by.
Johnny Schmitz will pitch for
Washington.
The Browns are going to miss
the Mats. with whom they have
two games remaining, both in
Washington. The Browns have
a horrible record against every
club in the league except the
Mats and the Tigers. Against
the other five clubs the Browns
have won only Is games while
losing So. But they show a 1875
edge over the Tigers and have
a 9-10 mark against Washington.
And unless Vernon hits Paige
well tonight, he'll be glad to get
out Of st. Louis and into Chicago,
where the Mats wind up their
hnal Western trip with a day
game Wednesday and a night
game Thursday. Thursday nights

Rosen Gains Three Points,
Vernon moved into st. Louis
yesterday with his sights set on
becoming the first WASHINGTON
player ever to win the batting
title twice. He was leading
Rosen by six points then, but
went 1-for-8 in the twin bill
and now leads the Cleveland
third baSeman by only three
points, 1928 to 1926.
Rookie Don Larsen blanked
Washington on two hits in the
first game, 80. The Mats won
the second, 9-3. behind Chuck
StobbS.
AS a, rule, st. Louis pitchers
don't worry Vernon. Before
yesterday he had pounded them
for "a hits in 66 times for a
.348 mark. But then, nobody
figured on Larsen, a right
handler who entered the game
with a 2-11 record.
A laSt-minute selection after
Harry Brecheen came up with a
sore arm, Larsen didn't allow a
hit until Wayne Terwilliger
blooped a single to center with
one out in the eighth. The
other hit was a line single by
Pete Runnels in the ninth.
Fans Five in Row.
Larsen struck out five men in
order in the first two innings
and seven altogether. He walked
only two. Only one Nat reached
second base-Gil Coan, who
walked in the fifth and moved
to second on Terwilliger's sac
rifice.
Larsen started wildly. He
walked Eddie Yost and threw
two wide ones to Runnels. The
Browns then started warming up
relief pitchers, but activity in
the bullpen ceased when Larsen
struck out the next five batters.

leftf1eld bleachers in the second

Two Records Tied.
National League records tied:
/. Twelve runs in the seventh
inning by Brooklyn. (The Cubs
scored IL runs in seventh on
May %, 1920
2. Five runs batted in by
Brooklyn Catcher Roy Campa-
nella to give him 122 for the
season. (Gabby Hartnett of the
Cubs first set the record of 122
runs batted in for a catcher in
1880 and the mark was tied by
Walker Cooper of the Giants in
1947.)
While the % homers fell three
short of the National Leagues
record of IS on July 16, 1850,
the old circuit raised it's total
home run output to 1908, only
90 short of its all-time mark set

which has had 80 shutouts to

sured themselves of second
place. Other Braves homers
were hit by Johnny Logan (2).
Del Crandall, Joe Adcock, Sid
Gordon and Jack Dittmer.
Johnny O'Brien hit Pittsburgh's
lone four-bagger.
Only one other rookie besides
Pendleton ever hit three home
runs in one game. That was
Mathews last year. Incidentally,
Mathews now is four games be-
hind Babe Ruth's pace when the
immortal home run king blasted
so in 1927. The Babe hit II in
September.
Brooklyn's 19-hit assault on
four Cardinal hurlers made it a
simple matter for Carl Erskine to
register his 18th victory of the
season against five defeats. Har-
vey Haddix, also cunning for his
18th triumph. lost his seventh for
st. Louis. Musial scored his Tooth
run on his Goth homer of the
season.
Giants Blast Four in Opener.

31.-The first appearance of
Maureen Little MOI Connolly
and three international matches
involving United States and Aus
tralian talent feature today'S
program in the National Tennis
Championships at West Side
Tennis Club.
Miss Connolly, at 18 shooting
for her third straight American
title and a sweep of the worlds
titles, has only a mild test this
afternoon against Jean French
Fallot Of nearby Amityville, NY.
Headlining the international
schedule is a match between Rex
Hartwig of Australia's Davis Cup
team and Bill Ta.bert of New
York. the veteran who ranks
sixth nationally.
Two Othe. Top Matches.
But there are two other en-
gagements attracting almost
equal attention for those who
like to compare the prowess of
the two major tennis-playing
countries.
Art Larsen Of San Leandro,
Calf. 1850 national champion,
meets Give Wilderspin, the Aus
tralian who almost upset Ken
Rosewall at Wimbledon this
summer. Mervyn Rose, another
of the Aussie aces, plays Sidney
Schwartz of Long Beach, N. Y.
1t wouldn't be surprising to
see the Australians score a
sweep. Rose is seeded third in
the foreign list and Hartwig is
fifth. -,

by all ages. 1t provides good quality
protein, important for body build
ing and repair. Lean beef also is
a valuable source of B vitamins and
of phosphorus and iron. Even the
least expensive cuts contain all of
these food values. Liver also is ex-
cellent as a blood builder because
of its iron and copper content.
Proper Storage
Proper storage of beef in the home
is important. Fresh beef should be
stored, loosely covered, in the cold
est part of the refrigerator and
should be used within a few days.
Variety meats such as liver are espe-
cially perishable and should be used
within couple of days. Home cur
ing, pressure canning and the freez-
er locker are reliable methods for
keeping beef.
Meat is the most expensive item
in the food budget and most import
ant. The housewives responsibility
is in knowing the cuts of meat and
how to cook each to get the best
results. The less tender and less ex-
pensive cuts can be made delicious
and tender by proper cooking and
the best cut of meat can be ruined
by improper cooking.
Home slaughtering of meat by
ranchers and farmers is satisfactory
because the animals condition is
known. To protect the general public

'Roast Rssf MsAum

ONE OF EDNA FERBER'S first
stories to bring her fame was about
a travelling saleswoman who made
all the big and little towns of the
middle west selling petticoats.
Emma McChesney was the heroine's
name and she had a woman's point
of view of the various problems and
situations. One of them was food.
The ordinary hotel fare was far
from the home standard but she
learned to order roast beef-medium.
1t was quite apt to be the best item
on the menu. If it was good eating
place it would be very good and if
a poor restaurant it would be the
best bet.
Edna Ferber's advice is as good
today as it was 40 years ago, and
roast beef rare, medium or well
done is the choice of the great Amer
lean public.

An Editorial

THE STORY OF beef cattle in
Montana and Wyoming cannot be
told without mention of the range
cook and the chuck wagon. So i'm
portant were they that few years
ago one of the old cattlemen re-
gretted that no book had been writ
ten about them.
However, about year ago, such
a book was written and dedicated
to 'the memory of all the old hard
boiled but ever faithful cooks of
the cow range" The author, Mr..
Ramon F. Adams, is Dallas, Texas,
businessman, whose hobby has been
collecting westernisms and folk lore
of the cattle country. Many of the
early Montana cattle outfits are
mentioned in his book.
''As an army marches on its mess
kitchen, so the cowboy worked with
his chuck wagon. The strenuous out
door work he did required lots of
fuel to keep the engine going full
steam, and he looked to the cook
to furnish this fuel in large quanti-
ties three times daily.
''The cook well knew his respon-
sibilities. AS a hotel chef required
to prepare fancy-named dishes, he
would take no prizes. He had no
butter and eggs for delicate pastries
but he understood his business OF

fessional men are dropping off at
an early age at an alarming rate. =.
perhaps it was due to the cowboys
life in the open, the jarring of the
horse, and his carefree attitude of
mind which kept his digestive organs
healthy. No one ever heard of him
having ulcers or other digestive dis
orders in spite of the gargantuan
meals he consumed, and his good
health certainly could not be attrib-
uted to the alkaline or scummy,
germ-laden water he drank"
"Come an Get 1t" will bring back
very vividly the good old days when
life was not so complicated.

Roast beef: Rib roast of beef is a
snap to prepare-it's one-two-three
proposition of placing the roast in a
shallow pan (bone side DOWN, in
serting a meat thermometer and
slipping it into the oven. No watch
ing or basting is required.
At one time it was thought neces-
sary to scar a roast in a hot oven
to brown it thoroughly on the OUT
side. Now the recommendation of
the meat industry is to use one oven
temperature throughout the roast
ing period-325 degrees F. This not
only is simpler procedure, but also
results in less shrinkage and more
servings. incidentally, the roast
browns beautifully without an initial
soaring.
Extra roasting pointers: 1. There's
no need to flour roast before cook
ing, nor to haste it during cooking.
The fat on the outside of the roast
drips over the meat, acting as self
baster. 2. Use a meat thermometer,
inserting it into the center of the
roast. This is the only way to be
absolutely sure your roast is cooked
to just the degree of doneness you
hke-rare, medium or well done.

inarians to prevent the sale of un-
wholesome or diseased meat or meat
which has been prepared under un-
sanitary conditions.
Basic Cooking Methods
There are two basic ways to cook
meat: By dry heat and by moist
heat. Each method has notifications.
Under dry heat there is roasting,
broiling, pan-broiling and frying.
Under moist heat there is braising
and cooking in water. Which method
is used is determined by the kind
and cut of meat to be cooked.
Dry heat is used with meats which
have comparatively little connective
tissue and which readily becomes
tender when cooked. Moist heat is
used in cooking meats with more
connective tissue and which are ten
derized by long slow cooking. One
would not stew tender or sirloin
steak nor would one broil short ribs.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-08-01

to hold the juices in, then salt just
before the meat was done. Other
wise, salt would shrink the fibers
and cause the meat to become tough.
when the cook lifted the lid to
turn the steaks, the odors escaping
would whet the appetite of dying
man. If he wanted to make pan
gravy, he stirred a little water into
the fat, making ''sop" for the boys.
Another cook might put little flour
into the hot grease, stir the mixture
until Drowned, then add water and
cook until it thickened. This made
better gravy"
The cowboy knew nothing of cal
ories or vitamins. He consumed huge
quantities of starches, coffee and
