TODAY'S SPORTS PARADE By-OSCAR FRALEY (BP Sports Writer) NEW YORK TO Fine pitching t and superfine horns run hitting 1 make strange bedfellows, but that Is the situation today in the ma jor leagues. g Figures prove that there have been a much greater number of * low hit pitching performances in . the majors this year compared with last. Yet a checkup discloses that, substantiating the theory that' ‘ there is more jackrabblt in the " ball, homer hitting also is up tre ' mendousfy. ’ As of the same' number of games \ last season, there had been a to * tal of 264 homers compared with 337 this year—an increase of 73. Once known as a pitching league, ’ the National haaktaken the long dis ’ tanoe play away from the American \ League at the moment. In 99 games, the National has st:uck 148 homers, I an increase of 47 over the number last season. In a total of 115-games [ the American League has belted j 153 homers, which is 26 more than at the same stage of 1952. The individual surprise is, of ; course, chunky Roy Campanella of : the Brooklyn Dodgers. He leads both ' leagues with 12 homers after 27 ' Brooklyn games. Last season at this stage he had but three and , finished the seasop with 22. Campanula's performance indi cates'■that last year’s co-champions ; with 37, Ralph Kiner and Hank Sauer, will have to hustle to catch him. Kiner, a notoriously slow starter, has five }n 27 games com pared with but two at the same stage last season. Sa;.er, off slow ly because of an injury, has but two compared to his six at this stop I last year. Larry Doby, who won the Amer ican League homer crown with 32 last season, is in better shape than the last time out. Now, after 26 games, he has four compared with two in 1952. Only two major league ciufctf have tailed off in homer power. They are the Giants, down from 30 to 27, and the Cubs, off from 14 to 12. ' Showing a big jump in homer power are the Pirates, up 15 from seven to 22; the Cincinnati Reds, up 13 from 17 to 30, and the Car dinals, up 12 from eight to 20. Also showing added out of the dark power sue the Milwsuk4e Braves, up from 19 to 26; the Dod- Native Dancer Chid Topic As 77th Preakness Baltimore, Md. apt Native Dancer was practically tjie "only topic of conversation today as this turf-conscious city got set for the 77th running of the Preakness at Plnlico Saturday. Most racing experts simply re ferred to the Dancer as “The Bfg Gray” while discussing the SIOO, 000-added run for the black-eyed susans. But. everyone knew what they meant and the other six* pro bable entries were aU but forgotten. The Pimlico track management gloomily conceded that the Dancer might be installed at even short er odds than the 7-10 on him when he lost the Kentucky Derby to Dark Star by a head. Such a circumstance could result in a mi nus-betting pool. Clyde Tfroutt, trainer of the three year old Royal Bay Gem. who sur prised by. whipping'-Dark Star in the Preakness prep, frankly ad mitted he did not think his horse would win Saturday. “I think he’ll finish third,” Troutt said, “We might do better, you can’t let a victory In a prep send you too high.” '/w' Jockey Jimmy Com best was more confident. ‘We beat the horse that beat The Gray In the Derby,” Combest said, “and at Pimlico we’re running on a soft track—the kind of track Royal Bay Gem likes.” But no one was putting much stock in the results of the prep. It was a furlong shorter than the mile and three sixteenth Preakness and it was .believed that Dark Star, did not go all oit. The only definite result of the prep was a sharp drop in the stock of Correspondent. The widely bally hooed California colt finished a poor fourth. — V— : & f> Pnalectyour hornet,yoor'busL 33 robbery iSurot.ee NOW. sometimes is 100 (■to. ft’s inexpensive ... butt’s worth—well when you need HI •Os wpnwiiw»i| con I M J f PHIP!
