ERNIE BANKS Ties GRAND Slam
RECORD; BLASTING FOR ANOTHER
Shriners' Golf Tourney Sunday to Pace at
Need Two
to Pace at
|Shortstop

The name OF Ernie Banks,
24-year-old Chicago Cubs
shortstop, already was put IN
the record book last week
with sluggers like Babe Ruth
and Lou Gehrig. and now he
is soaring along towards his
own mark for the books.
With less than two years in
the majors. the slender in
fielder hit his fourth home run
with the bases loaded last week
TO tie a record held by only
ten other big leasuers.
Later in the week, he slammed
three homers in one game and
another before Monday for a
total Of 81 to zoom closer to
Vern Stephens record of 80 by
a shortstop for the l949 Red
Sox. The National League record
of % was made in 1880 by Glenn
Wright Of Brooklyn.
The ten other Sluggers tied for
the record are:
Frank Shuttle 19ll Cubs, Ruth
N9l9 Red Sox). Gehrig (1934
Yankees). Rudy York 1888 Tig-
ers). Vince DiMaggio G945 Phil
lies). Tom Heinrich O948 YAM
kees), Ralph Kiner (l949 Pirates).
Sid Gordon N950 Braves. AL
Roscn Oo5l Indians) and Ray
Boone (l953 Indians-Tieers).
The youth, who is in his sopho-
more year. is slim. weighing ITS
pounds and six feet tall He uses
81 ounce bat. So why is he
hitting homers
The Cubs manager tells you:
Il love his attitude. He's not
fresh. He comes back to the
bench after hitting homer and
looks as If he did something
wrong. He doesn't swing real
hard. He has fine strong wrists
and good eye. He doesn't mind
taking strikes and waiting for the
pitch he wants"
Ernie himself, makes no COM
ment. But the record does show
that in SO when he was bought
by the Cubs from the Kansas City
Monarchs, Banks hit .3l4.
