Major League Roundup
CHICAGO (ANP) One ot
these, days soon the name of Hank ,
Aaron will be back where it be- j
longs among major league baseball j
players.
The Milwaukee outfielder, bat- j
ting hero in the 1957 World Series,
has been in the nether regions of
National League baiters since the
season began. But in the last two ■
weeks he has been driving toward j
the .300 mark.
Consistent hitting since Memorial ;
Day brought Aaron's average from j
.228 to .272, well below bis norm, j
but encouraging. Aaron was home i
run king in the majors last season, i

bat. The centereffclricr of the
San Franciwo Giants, skidded j

though.

least—the home-run and RBI lead
ership. Banks had 18 home runs
and 52 runs batted In, but Frank
Thomas of the Pittsburgh Pirates
bad collected 19 homers and 57
RBI*.
Banks, incidentally, was pressing
Mays for the lead in runs with 43.
Banks and 1 Charley Neal of the
Los Angeles Dodgers were tied for
third in triples in the NL. Each
had six Tony Taylor, Chicago
Cubs' rookie infielder, with eight,
«nd Junior Gilliam, Ixs* Angeles
outfielder, wih seven were among
♦he leaders in stolen bases.

concurred, saying:
'Newcornbe could do s veal big

That was » his year for New

the then Brooklyn Dodgers to

His chief trouble seems to be a

mixed his pitches.
