KINER’S A HERO AGAlN—Cleveland—Hat in
hand, Ralph Kiner accepts the congratulations of
his teammates after his grand-slam home run in the
ninth inning gave the Indians a 6-4 victory over
13th Grand Slam Homer
Puts Kiner in Select Group
CLEVELAND. Aug. 11 UP).—
Ralph Kiner, nearing 33 and the
end of his major league career,
has joined a select group of stars
who have hit 13 or more grand
elam home runs.
The veteran Cleveland out
fielder hit No. 13 last night in a
dramatic ninth inning as the
Indians defeated the Tigers. 6-4,
and moved into the American
League lead.
The blow, hit off Southpaw A1
Aber after he had been fanned
by the same pitcher in the
seventh inning with the bases
loaded, tied Kiner with Joe Di-
Maggio for fourth place among
the majoi league sluggers.
Only Lou Gehrig, Jimmy Foxx
and Babe Ruth have hit more
grand slam homers. It looks like
Gehrig’s record is beyond his
reach for the former Yankee
ironman hit 23 during his career.
But Kiner is within striking dis
tance of Foxx and Ruth. Foxx
hit 17 and Babe 16.
Before he sent Aber’s first
pitch soaring over the leftfield
fence, Ralph had been tied with
Hank Greenberg. Rogers Horns
by, Rudy York and Ted Williams.

disc trouble, nothing more,”
George said. "The doctors
started looking a little more
after pain persisted.”
Actually, the Babe began to
be a bit discouraged with her
golf as early as January.
The disc ruptured occurred in
May while on a Port Aransas.
Tex., fishing trip with Betty
and Peggy Dodd.
“They got stuck in the sand,”
George explained, “and the
Babe just took hold of the Jack
an used some muscles she hadn't
used in a long while.”
The disc was adjusted a time
or so, but the golf results were
discouraging—l3th in Beau
mont’s Babe Zaharias Open,
sixth at Carrollton, Ga.
Then came a stop at Augusta’s
famous Peachtree course and a
brief talk with Bobby Jones,
one of golf’s greatest stars.
I Talk With Bobby Helps
[ "The talk with Bobby helped,”
! George said, “but we started for
home, at Tampa. Then the Babe!
■ started experimenting and found!
( that by changing her position
at the tee she was driving the
ball like she used to.
‘ “It gave her a big chance and
’ instead of going home we went
to the tournament at Spartan
burg. She got to playing so well
. she forgot about everything. On
/the last tee she hit one of the
finest shots I’ve ever seen in golf.j
/Where she got the strength I
don’t know. Seems somebody had
her by the hand.”
The Babe won at Spartanburg
> but has been out of action ever
| since. She soon returned to John
Sealy Hospital for the disc opera
tion. The operation was a suc
cess but she continued to com
plain of pain in the right leg and
foot.
, Mail, flowers and telephone
' calls have poured into the hospi
■ tal since last Friday s cancer an
i nouncement.
"She’s heard from everybody,
- everywhere, sports world, kids,
old people, people we don’t
1 know,” George said. “She’s asked
- them to donate to the cancer
1 fund but they donate and send
flowers anyhow.” i
» Basketball Started Career
The Babe first gained national
- fame as an All-America basket
- ball forward. Then came 1932,
when she broke four world wom
an's records in the Los Angeles
i Olympics and won the National
p women's track and field cham
■l pionshlp singlehandedly wrth 30
i points.
i! She also took part in baseball,
1 swimming and figure skating.
. She turned to golf because "I'd
done everything else.” *
{ At the same time, she designed
\ her own clothes and planned
t her "dream house” after marry
» ing Zaharias In St. Lous on De
_ cember 24, 1938.
“We want to get back to our
. dream house,’’ Zaharias said.
I! ‘‘She planned that house in
Tampa and knows every nail
in it.”

3 Future Depends
1 On Further Tests
r NEW YORK. Aug. 11 UP).—
Davey Williams, Giants’ second
v baseman, has learned he will play
s no more baseball this season be- 1
* cause of a painful back condition
- and that his future as a player
t depends on further treatment
and observation.
e , The club received the report
e on Williams after several days
i of treatments at a medical center
- here. The 24-year-old Texan is
' to undergo another series of tests
and treatments over the next!
week or 10 days, then probably
will return to his home In Dallas.
The tests indicated the possi
bility of an arthritic condition,
but proved beyond doubt that
the second baseman was not
i suffering from a slipped disc
