MAYS HEADS
FOR BATTLE

NEW YORK - Willie Mays
may not be anywhere near the
Babe Ruth title of so but he's
been coming fast down the
line for the batting champion.
9nd he can still get the homer
title for the season. AS Of the
moment, he's batting at 1888
clip and breathing close on
second place Stan MusiaI'S
.343, who in turn is only three
points from the leading Duke
Snider.
In the slugging department,
Willie has hit more homers
than any other right handed
Giant. And he ties Cincy's Ted
KluszeWski in the homer de-
partment with IS all. These
are the kind of records tc
make Manager Leo Durochel
real happy. "I told him tc
stop going for home runs-jst
hit the ball and the home
runs will come. Now, he's hit
ting the ball where it's pitch
ed and you see the result"

five feet wide of the plate.
Catcher jim Hogan, under

toward the mound.
Bob winked as Jim ap-

said Hogan, now assured that
the improbable Lemon would

TaIluIa Bankhead Says Baseball
Has HELPED Race Relations

NEW PORK, - Tallulah
Bankhead, the fiery Southern
actress said today that the
entrance Of colored players
into baseball has improved
race relations considerably.
Writing in the current is
sue of Look Magazine, Miss
Bankhead says that colored
players, with their superb
grace, speed and reflexes, have
boosted the caliber of major
league ball. "And baseball has
done something for colored
people too," Miss Bankhead
points out in Look. "If no.
thing else, it has unbigoted
some bigots."
As far as Miss Bankhead. a
rabid Giants rooter, is con-
cerned, the amazing Willie
Mays is already as great as
Ruth. Willie is the difference,
she says, between last years
Giants, which finished 35
games behind the Dodgers,
and this years club, which is
driving to the pennant.
And why shouldn't Willie be
great, Miss Bankhead asks in
her Look article? "He has a.
tradition to live up to. It's the
Alabama tradition.
Il was brought up in Jas
per, 80 miles from Birming-
ham. Willie was born in Fair
field, just a little south and
west of Birmingham. The stars
sort of fell on Alabama when
1t comes to colored athletes, .
the famous actress says. "The
great and ageless Satchel
Paige was born in Mobile.
Monty Irwin is from Columbia;
Joe Louis was from Lexington:
and Jesse Owens, the great
runner who upset Hitler's
Master Race" theories, was
from DanVille.

Ind. with $4,16O: Stamford

Concerning the prospect of
work in the old home town, the
directory says this:
"Too often professionally
trained young people settle in
their home towns simply be-
cause of bonds of friendship and
family. Often the home town
offers relatively poor opportuni-
ties to get started professionally
despite many contacts. The i'm
pact of this fact may not be
felt for a year or more because
beginners generally assume that
the first few years will be an
uphill climb and. therefore, be
hard and lean.
Had they settled at the out
set in a more favorable locality,
they would not have suffered
the loss of time and income in
making a false start in their
home towns"
