Thanks, Micky Old Pal j All t DETROIT New York Yankee pitcher Johnny Kucks (left) puis his kands on the shoulders of Mickey Mantle to congratulate him after he hit his teth and nth home runs here last night. The Yankees beat the Detroit Tigers, 4-1, to giro Kucks a - record this season. (AP Wlrephoto) 27lh Puts Yankee 18 Tilts Ahead of Ruth By DAVE DIKES DETROIT on One of the Amer ican League's best southpaws de cided to let Mickey Mantle supply his own power, and' the magnetic Yankee slugger responded with dramatic suddenness and had power to burn. Billy Hocft, the Detroit Tigers' leading pitcher, fed the New York Yankee centerfielder two change- up pitches in last night's game before 47,756 enthusiastic fans at Brir.es Stadium. The 24-year-old Mantle, who has exhausted every superlative with his home run feats, churned both pitches far over the stadium fences to lead the pace-setting bombers to a 4-1 victory, lilt Both Rhtrthnndrd They were, his 2filh and 271 h home runs and put him comfort' ably ahead of the pace set by Babe Itulh when he clubbed a rec ord fiO home runs in 1927. Ruth did not hit No. 27 until July 8. The heir-apparent to Ruth's ti. in Brooklyn last Saturday night. They made "it five in a row last night, completing a sweep of three from the plunging Pittsburgh Pi rates 7-3 to move back into the top spot as last place Philadel phia junked Cincinnati's hold on the lead 3-2. Pirates Lose I In Row That caused yet another revi sion in the hectic NL standings, giving Milwaukee a 13-point edge over the Brooklyn Dodgers, who snapped a three-game losing streak with a 4-2 decision over St. Louis. The Cards hold fourth. 2 points back of the Redlegs. who in turn are 2 points behind the Brooks. The Pirates, with five straight defeats, are filth, but still very much in contention only one game behind the Braves. New York's Giants reclaimed sixth place from Chicago, beat ing the Cubs 4-1. In the American League, the New York Yankees made it seven-in-a-row as Mickey Mantle jolted his 26th and 27th home runs in a 4-1 verdict over Detroit. The Chi cago. White Sox held second, 5!j games behind, with a 12-8 dec! sion over Baltimore. : Cleveland ended a third place tie with Bos ton by topping the Red Sox 5-4 in 10 innings. Washington came from bchinc to beat Kansas City 5-4. Compared to Grimm The Braves have been playing like most folks figured they could since Hancy took charge. Ques tion Is, why? He's the same type ot "nice guy" manager as was Grimm and in his 15 years as a pilot, he's had only one pennant winner Hollywood in the Pacific Coast League in 1952. In the majors he was last in three tries with the Pirates, who released him after last season, and was no better than sixth in three years as field boss of the old St. Louis Browns in the AL. Hancy, 58, hasn't juggled the Braves' lineup or junked Grimm's pitching order, but he's had re sults. Gene Conley, for instance, pitched his lirst complete game since last July 10 for his second victory last night while Danny O'Connell and Bobby Thomson each butted in a pair of runs as Ihc Braves scored live in the fifth to beat Vcrn Law. Curl Simmons, winning his third, choked o(f the homer-socning Red legs on seven singles while the l'nils, with just six hits, beat Art Flower on Stan Lopata's 12th home run. The Dodders scored three in the third with Carl Kurillo lining a two-run double to bent the Cards and Wilmcr Mitt-ll. third lefty to slart against the Brooks this sea son and first to start against them in Ebnets Field since last August I'b. Koger Craig won his sixth with Clem Labine relieving in the ninth. Second baseman Charley Neal turned Stan Musial's hard hases-loadeti smash into a force out in the ninth to end it. Hank Thompson swalled his first 1956 home run with two on to beat the Cubs and Don Kaiser while Al Worthinglon won Ins third. Mantle 18 Ginncs Ahead Mantle, batting riglil handed (or both his shots off southpaw Hilly Heft, sent the two homers on 4(Ki-foot-plus rides to go 18 games up on Babe Rulh's 60-boiner pace of 1927.

Only six of his 27 round trippers have been hit from that side of the plate. Mantle, who had driven a fast ball out of the park two days earl ier, went hitless in his first two trips last night. But both times he hit the ball solidly, grounding out to third and lining to center field. After Andy Carey's two-run blast in the sixth. Mantle stroked one of Hoeft's chatige-ups high and deep into the upper stands in left ! centerfield. Both drives carried well over the 400-foot mark. Fans Invade Outfield When Mantle returned to center- field alter his second home run, a pair of young boys leaped over the high fence in centerfield and raced to meet him. Mantle shook hands with each of them before they were chased. In the ninth inning, dozens of fans caught on and poured out from all areas of the spacious stadium and onto the playing field. He shook as many hands as he could in the few moments that elapsed before park attendants and umpires could restore order. Quick-thinking groundskcepers averted a more serious display after the game when they turned on the vast sprinkling system. Ohu'acn New York Olio 000 100 1 S 0 (Hti 030 lov - 4 9 1 Valtmrttl 7.

Cornell, Yale Crews Seeded " 'Campy'Admits Slump Worry BROOKLYN Lfl-A troubled Roy Campanella admitted today he was deeply concerned over "the worst batting slump of my ca reer," but brushed off any thoughts he might be through as a top flight performer or that age is rapidly rushing up on him. At the same time, Ihe star Brooklyn catcher declared he had switched to dozens of bats other than his own and had tried count less different stances at the plate without much success. Campenella said his main trou ble has been overswinging. He has promised himself on many occa sions he would swing easy, just meeting the ball. But when the pitch comes in, he forgets his vow and tries to overpower the ball. He has gotten to the point where he's pressing, thereby burying himself deeper in the slump. Alter enjoying a banner year in 1955 when he batted .318, slammed 32 home runs and drove in 107 runs to earn the National League's MVP title for the third time, Campy went into a batting de cline practically from the start of this season. His current batting average is a microscopic .207. He has hit only six home runs in 47 games with 25 rbis. Jackson Next For Satterfield Veteran, 32, Decisions Summerlin to End 12-Win String By JERRY L1SKA CHICAGO l-A boxing "dud" who keeps exploding, Chicago's Bob Satterfield, today drew a bead I on a heavyweight match with j e q u a lly unpredictable Tommy : "Hurricane" Jackson. j Satterfield, a 3-1 underdog, last night pounded an end to young Johnny Summerlin's 12,-bout win ning streak with a unanimous 10 round decision here. The 32-year-old Satterfield, out weighed by 11 pounds, nearly; knocked Summerlin out of the; ring in the third round with pon derous rights and then went on to win by a substantial margin. Satterfield weighed 183 against Summerlin's 194. I Biyieo mieresiinf Truman Gibson, secretary of the International Boxing Club, said he favored a Satterficld-Jackson meeting this fall because of their "interesting styles." Satterfield's third-round explo sion, a series of five terrific rights to the head, sent the 24-year-old Summerlin sprawling through the ropes onto the ring apron. The bell sounded at the count of seven and it was doubtful whether the Detroit battler could have re mained in business if the rest period gong hadn't sounded. The defeat was Summerlin's fifth In 37 pro starts and knocked out his chance for a match with Pittsburgh's Bob Baker in the elimination series for Rocky Mar ciano's vacated heavyweight crown. 550 Enter AAUMeet BAKERSFIELD, Calif.
