Homer in Griffith Park
Bj Tbt AosociHted Kfgro Prttt ^
WASHINGTON.—One week after he had basted the longeil
home run ever hit in Yankee stadium, Larry Doby returned
to Griffith stadium Wednesday night and swatted one 500 feet
over the right field wall.
In the same park and against the same pitcher who provid-
ed Doby with his historic clout in Griffith stadium last season,
Doby connected with a ball served by Sid Hudson in the fourth
med one in the amplifier horns on
top of the center-field fence. A<v
eording to "official" records, only
Babe Ituth had preceded Doby on
that score, but Negro league
ehronicles show that the all-time
inning and lauded It on the roof
toj>s across the street behind the
park.
The ball soared over the cigarette
ad which stands JO feet above the
right center-field wall. Press box
historians expressed belief that only
llalro Ituth had approached that
distance.
Last year the Rookie Doby slam-
great Catcher Josh Gibson sent one
the same distance iu Griffith sev-
eral years before bis death.
