US. : Red China Talks in Geneva Recess Without Agreement

GENEVA, LRS-The United States and Red China called another re- cess yesterday in their secret talks without announcing any agree ment on the release of 40 Ameri- can civilians held by the Peiping regime.
 US. Ambassador U. Alexis Johnson and Chinese Envoy Wang Ping-nan talked for an hour and half on the question of the civ ilians, but neither would indicate what progress, if any, had been made.
 A US. spokesman announced only that they would meet again Monday on the same subject.
 This was seen as an indication that one or both of the ambassa- dors required instructions from his government.
 Despite the apparent failure of Thursdays session to produce an agreement, rumors persisted that the release of the American civil ians could be expected soon.

CATCHER DRIVES IN NINE RUNS
Near Miss Sundwiched In

The third homer was a grand
slammer off Laurin Pepper in
the sixth inning. 1t was the
second bases-loaded homer of
Burgess major league career.
Although he hit 1863 in 345
times at bat with the Phillies in
1854. Burgess wasn't much of a
home run hitter before coming
to Crosley Field and encounter
ing its rightf1eld fence that
spells "welcome" to the long
ball hitter.
Smoky had a grand total of
IT homers before this season in
Az years in the National
League. He had one with Phil
adelphia this year before he was
traded to Cincinnati on April
80. Since then he's hit IA, all
but two at the Cincinnati park
His prodigious production last
night raised his batting average
eight points. to $40, and his
runs ns-batted-in total to Al.
While Burgess was accounting
for nine runs. the other Redlegs
kept the Pirate hopping. The
Cincinnati hit total of % was
tops for the National League
this season, and included a
grand-slammer by Bob Thur
man.

Burgess of the Redlegs used a
red-hot bat to drive in nine runs
on three homers and a single
against Pittsburgh last night.
"Aw, I just got a little help
from the wind" Burgess said
in explaining bis runs-batted-in
exploit, three shy of the major
league record set by Jim Bot
tomley of St. Louis in 1924.
Smoky-his real name is For

a fourth homer, a feat accom-
plished in one game by only
seven major leaguers.
