Fewer Homers Socked In 1954 NEW YORK #—National League batters, record smashers with 1,197 home runs last season, have trailed off somewhat in 1954, but they still aren’t giving pitchers anything to chéer about. Figures compiled by the Asso- ciated Press through yesterday's games reveal that senior circuit hitters have accounted for 489 homers this year comparéd to an even 500 in a like number of games in 1953, The American League is up over last Season, 364 to 356. American Leaguers connected for 879 hom- ers during the entire ’53 campaign. Actually, only seven clubs—the Cubs, Giants and Cardinals in the National League and the White Sox, Senators, Red Sox and Tigers in the American—are showing an over last year. N Cubs, who had 55 home runs in 62 games in 1983, lead the National Lea, with 8 and the Cleveland ljans are on top in the "| American with 62.

By now the Braves’ officials reach for the aspirin bottle auto- matieally whenever they are forced to remember how much they gave for so little. Johnny Antonelli, Don Liddle, Ebba St. Claire, Billy Klaus and cash were parcelled off to the New York Giants for Bobby Thomson and Sam Caldefone. This was supposed to be the trade that could take the pennant away from Brooklyn. It may s ceed—but for the Giants instea: of Milwaukee as freely prédicted. It’s diffieult to believe now that many experts hailed this as an even swap. The experts, of course, didn’t know Thomson Was going to break. his ankle in spring train- ing. But even with Thomson in shape it is questionable that the deal would have seemed as good on the diamond as it did on paper. For the Giants Antonelli has won nine games, Liddle has won two. St. Claire is catching at Minne- apolis where Klaus is playing sec- ond base and hitting over .300. For Milwaukee, Thomson has been hurt since March 13. He will be. out another month at least. Calderone lost. the second string catcher’s job to rookie Charley White and has played just one full game and parts of nine - others. In 14 times at bat he has 5 hits for a .357 average. Moreover Antonelli has ‘beaten the Braves thtee times in three tries. Liddle pushed them into fourth place yesterday with a sparkling 4-hit 2-1 victory. Liddle’s masterful performance kept the Giants one game ahead of the Dodgers who beat Cincin- nati 9-6.6 St. Louis trimmed Pitts- burgh 5-1 and Philadelphia shaded Chicago 3-2 in 11 innings. Cleveland saw its American League lead shrink to two games over the Chicago White Sox. The Indians lost to Philadelphia 5-1. Chicago defeated Washington 5-2. Third place New York moved with- in four games of the leaders with a 11-2 waltz at Detroit. Boston and Baltimore weren’t scheduled. Yankees Face Crucial Series With Cleveland CLEVELAND ® — To Casey Stengel, it's “that big series in Cleveland.” Al Lopez calls it “a crucial weekend, but certainly not one of those do-or-die times.” No matter how they described it in separate interviews with newsmen, there was little doubt that Managers Stengel of the Yankees and Lopez of the Indians j view with respect the three-game series their teams open here to- night. “Sure, the Indians are ‘tough,” conceded Stengel whose men have a 44 record against Cleveland this year. “But we're playing well enough.” Here, Stengel referred to New York’s current won-lost percentage of .627, right now behind Clev- land’s .693, but good enough to win Pennant for the last five years. Manager Lopez, however, had a °47 MERCURY, 4-Door °48 PONTIAC, Club, Hyd., Radio, °49 FORD, 4-Door, Radio NEW STUDEBAKER SEDAN, SPORTMODEL, OR STATION WAGON TWINS GARAGE, ready answer for that sort of \Black Bass | Entered In Contest ture recent entries in the Rudy | Schaefer Fishing Contest, Flor- ida’s first all-state, year-long, angling event.
