Leo Pays Again

Mastery at Home
(Standings on Page ca
BY the Associated Press

If Leo Durocher's bank balance
holds out, there's no telling what
heights the Giants may reach
this season.
Leo's personal investment in
the rapid rise of the Giants
mounted to $500 today as he
hauled out his checkbook and
paid OF Bill Taylor and Hank
Thompson.
Taylor got his hundred for a
home run in Milwaukee last
Thursday. the only run in a 10
inning victory that moved the
Giants into a first-place tie with
Brooklyn.
Thompson got into the act last
night with a three-run homer
after two were out in the ninth
that gave the Giants a So vic
tory over Cincinnati and sole
possession of first place.
In neither case did Durocher
tell the hitters before they went
to bat. At Milwaukee, on the
spur of the moment, he told his
bench: eff the kid hits one I'll
give him a hundred bucks"
The first Taylor heard about it
was in the clubhouse where Leo
hastily added: "I'll give it to
him when we get home. He'd
just waste it on the road"
Walks Set Up Victory.
The Giants came home last
night and went into the last
of the ninth against Cincin-
natl, trailing 80. Yves WeStrum
coaxed Harry Perkowski for a
walk to open the ninth. Hoot
Evers popped out trying to bunt.
but Whitley Lockman also drew
a walk.
HOWE Judson came in to erase
AL Dark, who had collected three
hits. Then Lefty Jackie Collum
was brought on to face
Thompson, a lefthanded hitter.
AS Hank ran the count to 20,
Durocher turned to the bench
and said: "If he hits one I'll
give him a hundred, too"
Thompson and Taylor will be
on hand today to collect.
The Giants knew from the
seventh inning on that the Dodg-
ers had lost to Milwaukee, 7-6,
meaning that first place was
theirs if they could beat the

Verona, Pa. - The date,

been set aside for the Goth
Anniversary of the Croatian

A great evening of fun and

as early as 500 PM on the
date of the festivities.

scored a little over a million
and a quarter in new cover
age. The total number of new
members enrolled stands at
1859 of which 932 is claimed
by the Junior Order and 627
by the senior department.
If we consider these statis-
tics from the standpoint of
the projected goal of 5000
new members and six millions
of new coverage, we can
readily see that the aim and
the accomplishments at this
point are pretty well in align
ment with the time consumed.
In the seven months re-
naming we must find some
1900 new members for a cov-
erage of approximately four
and three quarter millions.
This can be accomplished at
the present pace.
However, we feel certain
that the tempo of the cam
paign will be increased with
the coming months. After all
this is a year of exceptional
significance, Of extraordinary
action.
This is the historic mile
stone in the organizations
chronology marking the COM
pletion of six decades of ex-
emplary fraternal service. If
at least a portion of that
fraternal fervor is channelcd
into recruiting activity the
success of the drive shall be
assured.
Your C.F.U. is one of the
very few large fraternal ben,
eft organizations that still
depends on absolutely volun-
tary recruiting for it's susten-
ance. It is our continued
growth on this basis that is
the marvel and envy Of every
