THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1951 51X HOMERS IN 3 GAMES BY ZERNIAL By Associated Press Jimmy Dykes has lit a fire under Big Gus Zernial. The slumbering giant is on a record-tying home- run rampage. With six homers in three consecu- tive games, old “Ozark Ike" goes into the little red book in such ex- clusive ‘company as Tony Lazzeri and ‘Ralph Kiner. And he hasn't stopped yet. ";‘xbfiun the Chicago White Sox did _everylhlng but stick pins into Zernial's. hide. Nothing much hap- penied.-But they waited and waited. ne hit 20 homers last season but ged only .280. His fielding was ndfl.»wo much better. When ag- gresive Paul Richards took over as manager, Zernial was ticketed to go_sooner or later. ‘Hell hit tor me? said Dykes last. winter when he only hoped to trade for Zernial. The deal fell throtigh in December. But a new three-way swap involving the A’s, White ‘Sox and Indians brought bené¢h-riding Gus to Philadelphia April 30, ‘With ‘the ‘Athletics he's now hit- ting at a .366 clip to bring his sea- son mark around .283. The home run spurt started Sun- day when the Athletics dumped the Yankees twice. Gus connected twice in the second game. He hit two more Tuesday night against St. Louis. Then came another pair last night off the Brownies. Still the Athletics lost the ball game, 10-9, and tumbled into the American League cellar. Ferris Fain continued his batting surge with three hits, boosting his average to 402. New Season High Vic Rasthi set a new season high with 10 strikeouts in the New York Yankees 11-3 rémp over Cleveland. It was the Yanks’ ninth straight at the Stadium where chey have yet to lose. Mickey Mantle drove home four runs with ‘his first Yankee Stadium homer and fourth of the year. The rookie also chipped in with a bases- loaded single. The surprising Chicago White Sox knocked off the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park for the second day in a row, 9-5. Joe Dobson went all the way against his old mates. Walt Dropo hit homers in the sec- ond and third to drive in four Bos- ton runs. Two Tied For Second Detroit kept step with Chicago, tied for second place, two and a half games out, by whipping Wash- ington, 7-1. Historians were searching the records to see if the National League ever was only three games from top to bottom after a month of play. Only three games separate the last- place Phillies from the league-lead- ing Brooklyn Dodgers. The Chicago Cubs batteréd Brook- lyn pitchers for 13 hits in a 14-4 slaughter. Second place Boston also was knocked off by Cincinnati, 4-3, with the Reds scoring three off Johnny Sain in the eighth. It was Sain's fifth loss. He's won only one. Jim ‘Hearn found his old Pitts- burgh tousins in their usual form and chipped out a 2-1 decision for the New York Giants, Al Brazle came to the rescue of Gerry Staley in the ninth to pre- serve a 5-3 St. Louls win over Phil- adelphia.

SOKOLSKY The Doctrine of Perfection Franklin D. Roosevelt tried to es- tablish the doctrine that there are good countries and bad; that there are good dictators and bad one Stalin was a good dictator; Hitler and Franco were bad dictators. Chiang Kai-Shek, during part of this period, was a good dictator; then he became corrupt. The doctrine of perfection which Roosevelt applied abroad, neither he nor Harry Truman applied in the United States or among the countries which we supported with our largesse. The Kefauver invest- igation surely disclosed numerous corruptions in our own country, to say nothing of the existence of a black market during the war which was not without some sanction by official personalities. - Some da when there is another dispensation, investigations will be made into the extraordinary earnings by public officials, during periods of high taxation, when most Americans can barely put away a dellar. However, that is not the point of this discussion which is rather, that when the United States needs and seeks allies, its measure ,must be their value to the United States.
