Mickey Mantle recently picked Harmon Killebrew as the man most like lto break Roger Maris' record .o,""61 home runs. Killebrew Wednesday returned the com pHrticnt by singling out Mickey ' as.Uie man to do the job.

"But ' Mickey does have a tough park Trial Grows More Heated - .'BALTIMORE (DTD Testimony ' grows more heated by the day s 'the American Football League's J$10 million anti-trust v suit-against the National Foot- ba.ll League in Federal Court approaches its end.

He i said it did so because of the city '' of Houston's refusal to lease its -stadium for professional football. ... Rosenbloom took the witness stand as the case, being heard .., by .-Judge Thomsen without a : Jury, moved further into its - fourth week. At the beginning, the" trial was predicted to last , about four weeks. The AFL, however, disagrees '. with the explanation offered by Rosenbloom Tuesday. It claims '.. it was injured as a result of the NFL's beating it to the punch ; in granting a franchise in Min t neapolis. The AFL claims the action forced it to award a team to the less lucrative Oakland, ' Calif. Another witness was Paul Brown, coach, general manager and founder of the Cleveland - Browns. vBrown denied a statement at tributed to him earlier in the trinr by AFL attorney Ed Guinn. ' Gutun had quoted Brown as ' saying, "Nobody likes compel! . (Jon.

"I know I'd never hit 46 or close to it if I was playing in Yankee Stadium. It is not a good park for a right-handed hitter, not unless he is a tre mendous pull hitter. I am not a pull hitter.

It happened Tues day night in a wild American Basketball League contest at Pittsburgh. Chicago led 121-119 when Walt Mongham of the Rens hit a layup and scored with five seconds to go.

Herschel Turner paced the winners with 27 points, while Kelly Coleman added 23.
