United Press Sports Writer
By far the proudest guy in base-
ball Wednesday was George
Freese of the Pirates, who neither
rooms with his kid brother. Gene,
nor runs around with him, but
openly roots for him with a pas-
sion that surpasses even brother-
ly love.
The 28-year-old George had a
grin on his face a mile wide when
I-year-old Gene bashed his first
major league grand alam homer
Tuesday night in an eight-run
eighth inning that powered Pitts-
burgh to a 9-6 victory over Mil-
waukee. ,
Actually, big brother Freese’s
bases-loaded single in the eighth
drove home the two runs that put
the Pirates ahead but George was
only interested in Gene’s subse-
quent wallop which moved Pitts-
burgh to within four percentage
points of first division.
“My only concern is Gene.” says
the husky George quietly. "Wheth-
er I make it or not doesn’t bother
me so much, but I'd give anything
in the world to see him come
through.
“After all," the older Freese
grins, "if be makes it and I don’t,
be can always get me passes to
the ball games.”
From the way it looks, however,
George needn’t worry because he
and Gene, who is only putting in
his third year in professional base-
ball. both loom large in Pitts-
burgh’s plans.
While the Pirates' fortunes seem
on the way up, the Phillies’ for-
tunes continue to go down, Mayo

Santee May Get
Best Chance At
Record Saturday
By HAL WOOD
SAN FRANCISCO —UP— If Wes
Santee, the great Kansas biller,
ever is ging to crack the four-
minute barrier, he’ll have his best
chance in the West Coast relays at
Fresno Saturday.
Meet Director J Flint Hanner
says that Santee will be given ev-
ery consideration in an attempt to
become the first American to run
the distance under four minutes.
“Wes told me in a telephone con-
versation the other day that the
conditions haven’t been right to
far this year for him to run the
four minute mile,” said Hanner.
“He also told me that he would be
in the finest possible condition for
the record attmpt at Fresno.
’To help hi malong we are stag-
ing the mile run at 1:10 in the aft-
ernoon. when the weather will or
should) be nearly perfect. The
forecast "is for very hot sun this
weekend
“On top of that, the No. 1 lane
will not be used before the race so
Santee won't have to run on a
chopped-up track. So if he ever is
going to set that record, he'll have
a good chance here.”
Hanner said that there will be
only three other men in the race,
so there won't be much chance of

sas; Len Simpson of California and
