Hank Recalls Memorable Homeruns Anyone who has hit 673 Major League home runs is bound to remember a few of them more than others. The Atlanta Braves* Hank Aaron, who’ll enter the 1973 baseball season 41 shy of Babe Ruth’s career record 714, recently recalled his “ Ten Most Memorable Home Runs.” Two particular homers, with a couple of others close behind head Aaron’s list. The home run Aaron ranks first stands in that lofty position because he feels it did more for the Braves than the others he has hit—it won the 1957 National League pennant. Here is Aaron’s personal list of his most memorable homers: No. I—Winning the 1957 Nat ional League championship by hitting an llth-lnnlng, two-run shot off St. Louis’ Billy Muf fett Sept. 23 in Milwaukee. The Braves beat the Cardinals, 4-2, and went on to defeat the New York Yankees In the World Series. No. 2 No. 500.

Vickie Whitmire had scored 7 of the Dogs’ 12 half time points. The third period, however, found a new team on the court as the Dogs outscorec their opponents 12-4 to take a 24-18 third period lead. The Dogs maintained their advantage through the entire fourth qua- ovation that lasted several minutes. No. 3—All-Star Game homer July 25, 1972, in Atlanta. Hank hit a two-run homer in the sixth Inning off Gaylord Perry that gave the National League a 2-1 lead.

It came in Aaron’s seventh big league game off the Cardinals’Vic Raschi Ap ril 23, 1954, in St. Louis. No. s—Tying the record for most home runs through June 30. Aaron hit 24 homers in his first three months in At lanta during April, May and June of 1966 to tie the Nat ional League record for home runs through the end of June. No. 24 came off the Phillies’ Larry Jackson June 21 in Atlanta. No. 6—Last Milwaukee home run Sept. 20, 1965. It came off Philadelphia’s Ray Culp. No. 7—Three home runs in one day, June 21, 1959.

The Fra nklin County Team was unbeaten before being defeated 47-43 by the dogs earlier this year. a ninth-inning homer off Bo Belinsky April 20, 1966, at Philadelphia’s Connie Mack Stadium. “I didn’t find out it was my 400th until after the game,” Hank remembers. No. 9—First home run title. Hank slugged the first grand slam of his career, and his 44th homer of the 1957 season, off St. Louis’ Sam Jones Sept. 24 in Milwaukee. It was his next time at bat after clinch ing the pennant for the Braves the previous night. No. 10—A 470-foot home run to the centerfield bleachers at the Polo Grounds, June 18,1962. Aaron hit a grand slam off the Giants’ Jay Hook to the left of the clubhouse in centerfield. The homer matched the dis tance of Cub rookie Lou Brock’s blast of the night before. Aaron and Brock became the only players besides Joe Adcock to hit home runs in that vicinity since the Polo Grounds* cen terfield stands were moved fur ther from home plate in 1923. Nowhere on the list are the three homers Aaron hit in the 1957 World Series. “The Yan kees came back to tie us after every home run I hit,” Aaron explains. “I can't rate any of them in my ‘Top Ten’ be cause none of them won a ball game.” FAMILY SIZE COLOB POBTABLE tar *2BB PORTABLE RCA 18” BW T.V.

W. Tate, Regional Director for the Veteran Administration for the State of Georgia. ‘‘lt is simply not true,’’.said Tate. “The rumor of the special di vidend continues to crop up in many areas of the nation and the Veterans Administration wants every World War II veteran to know that no special dividend windfall Is now being paid, nor will there be one In the future,” Tate stated. The hoax that has swept the nation Involves accumulated di vidends that were supposed to have plied up on World War II National Service Life Insurance policies even though no pre miums have been paid on he policies since the end of the war. The stories may stem from an action taken In 1948 when a payment of a special dividend on these same policies was authorized. These dlvi- CALL or SEE US TODAY Expert Color T.V.

The Administrator of Vet erans Affairs Donald E. John son announced on January 4 In Washington that veterans who hold WW I and WW II GI in surance will receive record di vidends In 1973. The 3.8 mil lion holders of WW n National Service Life Insurance policies will receive an average divi dend of $72, compared with the 1972 dividend of S6B. Tate pointed out tht all vet erans receiving dividends on National Service Life Insur ance policies do not have to ap ply for these Increased divi dends since they are paid auto matically by the Veterans Ad ministration. The total anticipated divi dends to be paid In 1973 ap proaches the S3OO- million figure.
