Yanks Increase Lead
While the Yankees have
played 119 games, one was a
tie and doesn't count toward
the 154-game limit on an un-
challenged home run record
set by Commissioner Ford
Frick. The ruling was made to
equalize the AIS present 1872
game schedule with the 154-
game schedule that was in use
until this years expansion to
10 teams.
That means Maris has 36
games (decisions) in which to
hit his record busting 13. That

When Wahoo Sam Crawford
won the American League home
run title in 1908 he did it with
q total Of seven. And among
the other dead-ball champs,
Nap Lajoie became the AIS
first home run king in 1901
with 10.
Now Roger MariS, cunning
for gold, glory and Babe Ruth'S
so, suddenly has spurred his
pursuit with seven home runs
matching Crawford'S season
total-in six consecutive games,
and needs Just 13 more -
Lajoie's title total-to crack

Mickey Mantle can. He hits the
ball so far that when he hits
one $50 feet nobody even talks
about it.
1--WE got nothing against
Ruth, but if Mantle or Roger
Maris or both of them breaks
his record of go home runs,
that would be fine with me.
Records are made to be broken" "
And the controversy over a
live ball makes Woodling laugh.
IF the ball was any livelier,
I'd know it," he says. "I haven't
been hitting the ball any
farther. I hit one this year up
m the centerfield bleachers
here for one of my longest
pokes. But I had hit 'em that
far in the past.
II see where they did a
laboratory test and proved the
ball was the same. It is, in my
opinion. It's still round, isn't
it? The way they talk about it,
you'd think they started max
ing the ball square"
Ted KluSzewski, the oak
limbed slugger of the Angels,
agrees. Bats are lighter" Ted
says, so you get more bat
speed. Now use the same bat,
36-37 ounces, that I always
used. And I don't hit the ball
any farther and I'm not talk
ing about now, because I'm
getting older, too, but over the
last several years."
AS Mantle and Maris creep
closer to Ruth'S record, spec
ulation snowballs on just how
valuable the accomplishment
will be to them.
"I'll tell you," Woodling says.
"If they break the record I'd
like just 10 per cent of them
just for the winter to drive
them around. After all, those
boys will need a chauffeur"

VINO was oDCalneQ from the
Bears in a roundabout way. And
if Aveni doesn't come through
it'll put a tremendous burden
on the offenSe, which has
enough trouble as it is.
Aveni may yet deliver, but
wouldn't depend on it after
watching two feeble efforts
against the Rams from the 46
and 45-yard lines. Granted
both would have been tremen-
dous kicks if made, but John
wasn't close.
Aveni's only kickoff against
the Rams landed in the enc
zone, a feat neither Khayat
nor Sam Baker before him per-
formed consistently. It's ar
advantage to have a kicker who
can do this, but the question
is whether it's more of an ad-
vantage to have a good scoring
kicker.
Aveni kicked only seven field
goals for the Bears last year
One beat Green Bay and an
other tied the Rams. Khayat
lofted II over the crossbar and
the best he got was ties with
the Giants and Steelers.
The Cleveland Browns owed
at least half of their cham
pionships to Lou Groza's tai
ented toe as much as to Otto

Opposing pitchers have not
noticed any zip missing from
the Woodling swing. He car
ried a lifetime major league
average of .282 into this season
and currently is batting .307.
He and Gene Green are Wash
ington's only 300 hitters.
The way Woodling stands at
the plate has been the subject
of much buffoonery among his
colleagues. With his feet to-
gether, knees bent, trunk
pitched forward and his weap-
on poised, he looks like he's
getting ready to fight off an
angry, low-flying hawk.
Lefty ODoul gave me that
stance" he says. II was with
San Francisco in 1948 and
ODoul was the manager. He
wanted me to move closer to

knees. He said, We'll, bend 'em,
them"
So Woodling bent his knees
and tore into the opposing
pitchers for a 1886 average, tops
in the Pacific Coast League. He
hit % home runs and drove in
LOT runs and when the season
was over the Yankees bought
him for a reported 100000.

"I've heard a lot of cracks
about my stance. They say it
can't be comfortable, it can't be
this and it can't be that. All
I know is, it suits me fine"
It would suit Woodling fine,
also, he says, to see Babe
Ruth's record broken this year.
''What I want to know is why
all the fuss about it?" he asks.
Whats wrong with a boy of
today breaking that record? I
was reading in the paper where
a 16-year-old girl broke a
swimming record and I saw
where Jesse Owens broad
jump record finally was broken.

Aveni generates enough
power running up to the ball
to put his kickoffs in the end
zone so yards away, but hasn't
got the punch of an accurate
goal kicker.
Baker wasn't a good kicker
before Mike Nixon got hold of
him, but Sam had as much
dynamite in his place kicks as
in the kickoffs. 1t isn't power
as much as timing. Recall
Bill Dudley, the rockln' chair
kicker, who was fairly accurate
up to 35 yards without a pre-
liminary run, or even a walk.
The Virginia gentleman simply
stood and kicked the ball as
the receiver teed it up.
Dick Poillon, a Redskin of
long ago, proved that you don't
have to be a giant to kick the
ball. Poillon wasn't particu-
larly big at 1856 pounds, but he
was accurate, Turk Edwards
and Bob MaSterson, who kicked
off and place-kicked, re-
spectively, in their salad days,
were massive by comparison.
But ancient history won't
help Coach Bill McPeak or the
Redskins this year. They need
a kicker, and fast, unless
Khayat returns, which isn't
likely, or Aveni develops.

Snead Slated
To Action
Against Bears

CHARLESTON, S. c., Aug.
II (SpeciaD Rookie Norman
Snead, who is being groomed
for a shot at the Redskins
quarterbacking job, will get a
taste of the real thing in a
relief role against the Bears
here Saturday night.
Opposing him will be Pete
Manning, one of his favorite
targets at Wake Forest Col
lege two years ago. Manning,
who played high school foot
ball at John Carroll in Wash
ington, is being tried as a de-
fensive back by the Bears
after spending last year as an
end on Chicago'S Taxi" squad.
At Wake Forest Manning
caught 48 passes for 693 yards
over a three-year period, but
if he grabs only one of Nor
mans throws Saturday night
it'll be bad for Snead.
Snead and Ralph Guglielmi,
who'll start the game, could be
in a worse spot. The Bears are
hurting for defensive half
backs with j. C. Caroline and
Richie Petition the only jour-
neymen at the positions.
George Halas traded Erich
Barnes to the Rams for Quar-
terback Billy Wade. The new
Minnesota Vikings claimed
Charley Sumner, and Vic
zucco retired.
Throwing against Caroline,
a speedster, and Petition will
be difficult, but the Washing
ton pa ssers may find some
openings if Halas tests Bobby
Bethune of Mississippi State,
Roosevelt Taylor, John Brown
or Dave WhitSell.
WhitSell originally was slated
to come to the Redskins via
the New York Giants, but re-
fused to leave the Midwest and
the deal was called off.

those NavajoS who have violated
state, federal, or tribal laws for
which they have been arraigned and
convicted by legal court. The OBJ
ject is to assist the Navajo proba-

The judges will need to rede-
