tearing up the turf at his posi-

be restrained by one of the

The Giants aren't going any
place in the National League
this year, but Willie Mays and
Johnny Antonelli, aces Of their
1854 championship year, could
well spell trouble for the pen
nant hopes of the Dodgers.
The hitting Of Mays and the
pitching of Antonelli are a far
cry from two years ago when
Willie hit the ball at a .S45 clip
with Al homers and the sturdy
southpaw hung up 81 victories
against only seven setbacks.

to end the Brooklyn aces nine

him with an 1876 record.

then with the Cardinals, did It

in callingjt the best game he has
ever pitched.

series in three days at the Polo
Grounds. -Four more in Brook

Could Be Beginning
Manager Bill Rigney, an in
durable optimist. interpreted
Willie's last two homers as more
than just long hits.
1T could be a beginning for
him and u.s." the Giants pilot
said. We've been waiting for
Willie to do something like
that I'd give a months pay to
see him wind up the season
with a smash"
Rigney believes Mays is capa-
BILE of lifting the entire team
and, If that is so, there's trouble
ahead for the Dodgers.
We've been getting the pitch
ing" Rigney added. I'VE needed
somebody to get us going with
the hitting, and Willie's the
man who can do it."
Contributing to Rigney's op-
timism was a statement by
Horace Stoneham. The Giants
president scored persistent
rumors that Rigney is on his
way out and said the clubs
present plans call for the former
infielder to run the team again
next year.
Milwaukee's victory was easy
as Warren SPAIN hurled a FIVE
hitter to collar his 196th major
league victory and 18th of the
season. The Braves wrapped it
up with two in the fourth on
one hit and three errors. Tom

BOSTON. Aug. 16. - Jim
Lemon has plunged from a rash
Of homers into a furry of strike
outs. and has become q gilt
edged threat to set a major
league mark in that department.
Everything was ginger-peachy
with the king-sized Virginian
last week end. When he wasn't
striking out he was lambasting
Red Sox pitching for four hom-
|ers in three games. which indi-
Gated he might be ready to roar
down the stretch. Somebody
|greased the track. n
He has been flirting with all
sorts Of strikeout records since
early in the year, but now his
pace has accelerated so speedily
that it has grown from a fiirta-
ton to a seemingly certain mar
riage to new records.
20 Shy Of League Mark
Lemon has famed nine times
in his last 13 official attempts.
He now has 102 for the year,
five short of tacking UP a club
record. 20 shy of a new American
League standard and 33 short
of a new major league record.
Larry Dolby set the AL mark in
1858 with 121, while the major
league record Of 1874 was set by
Vince DiMaggio of the Boston
Braves in 1888.
While Lemon has been the
principal figure in the Senators
breeze production, he has COM
pany. Last night At Baltimore,

Better Target Tomorrow
Jim may snap out of his

swinging today since the Sem

which is unlikely, does Jim figure
to avoid setting club and Amer

For a while last night it was
