MENVRDi&TRIBnNS Mickey Mantle Rated No. 1 Switch Hitter By UNITED PRESS They still speak in almost rev erent tones of Babe . Ruth and Joe DiMaggio in Yankee Stadi um and no fresh 20-year-old kid will ever replace the memory of their exploits, but Mickey Man tle Tuesday stood as potentially greater than either of them. Not that he'll hit - the home runs of the Babe or field with the grace of" DiMag or perhaps deliver in the clutch like Joltin' Joe. But already they're hailing him as the greatest power switch-hitter of all time. Already he has hit some of the longest homers on record around the American League and parti cularly in the Stadium both to right and left fields. Powers Two . Monday night, swinging from the left he delivered two homers in a single game for the first time in his meteoric major league lifetime. The blasts pro- Yesterday's Scores AMERICAN" LEAGUE New York 7.

(Only game scheduled) Central Point Scene Of Softball Play-Off District Commissioner Marc I Dempster today announced a change in site for the Wednes day game in the regional soft ball play-offs between Central Point and Bill's of Klamath Falls. He said the scrap will occur at 8:30 p.m. (standard time) on the turfed high school field at the Medford high stadium. - Dempster said that the switch was made because spikes are not allowed on the Medford grass. The Klamath nine has worn spikes all season and insists on using them during the series. A special request to the chool that spikes be permitted on the local field during the play-off was turned down. Play Tonight . , Central Pointj Medford Soft ball association and District No. 8 champ, and Bill's, District No. 9 winner, open their two-out-of-three series at 8:30 p.m. (day light time) at Klamath Falls to day. Site of a third fracas, if necessary, Thursday, will be de termined by a flip of a coin. Play-off winner goes to the state meet. State tourney rivalry begins on Saturday, August 16, at Mill City. - Rest Welcomed Central Point welcomed rest Sunday and Monday after play ing five games last week, two in the city titular shaughnessy and three in the district eliminations. The Pointers won two out of three hassles from the Grants Pass Elks .to capture the district laurels. There was no further infor mation late Monday on possible official protest to state directors by Grants Pass of the game won Saturday night by Central Point. One basis of protest was Grants Pass claim that Central Point Chucker Vern Collins had pitch ed with, tape on a sore finger. Dempster said he was informed that Collins had notliurled with tape on. He was going to apply the tape, but didn't, in the sixth inning. Julius Boros Wins Playoff For Tam O'Shanter Crown Chicago U.R) . "How lucky can one man get?" pro golfer Julius Boros asked Tues day. " ' "I win only two tournaments all year," he added, "and they're the two big ones." Boros won prestige in June when he came home in front in the National Open Tourney at Dallas, but Monday he picked up cold cash on a down payment and dividend plan, when he whipped Dr. Cary Middlecoff, an ex-Memphis dentist, by two strokes to win Tam O'Shanter's $75,000 "world" tournament. Split Top Priia Boros, . a Connecticut Yankee now playing out of Mid Pines, N.CT actually didn't take home Olivar Appointed Yale Grid Coach New Haven, Conn. (U.R) Yale university Tuesday ap pointed 37-year-old Jordan Ali var as successor to "lifetime" football coach Herman Hickman, but gave him only a one-year contract as "acting head coach." Hickman, regarded as one of the most secure coaches in the history of the gridiron sport since his 10-year contract still had nine years to run, resigned to accept a job in private busi ness. The appointment of Olivar "for the 1952 season" was an nounced by Yale's Athletic Di rector, Bob Hall. Olivar, a star tackle in his collegiate days with Villanova, has been head coach at Villanova and Loyola of Los Angeles where his combined rec ord showed 50 victories, 31 de feats, and two ties. the entire $25,000 first prize, since he and Middlecoff in a pre - match deal agreed to split the profit, including the $12,500 second prize, evenly after pro vision for taxes. To add to this $37,500 melon, they received half of the gate receipts, $2.00 per head from about 2,500 spectators. But Boros, who shot a four- under-par with a Garrison fin ish on the last five holes, gained a cushion for his 1953 tourney swing, too. He was credited with the entire $25,000 first prize to increase his 1952 earnings to $34,332.97 and virtually guar antee him top ranking as money winner this year, an honor which pays off in appearance money at $250 per tournament . next year. Finishing Driv Middlecoff, who won the Na tional Open Crown in 1949, con trolled their match Monday for the first 13 holes as he went two under par and Boros got one under for the first nine. Then Boros started his finishing drive with a two and one half foot putt for a birdie three on the 14th and that squared the battle. TO DEFEND CROWN Washington, D.C. Mason Kline Jr., San Francisco, Calif., surprise winner of the 1951 Na tional Smallbore Rifle champ ionship on his home range last year, will defend his crown at the National Rifle association's 67th renewal of the champion ships at Jacksonville, Fla., Aug ust 21-24. The young Golden Gate city shooter, now an en sign in the Navy, will put his national title on the line against 250 of the nation's best sharp shooters. A national title rifle shoot is being held in Florida for the first time since 1916. vided Allie Reynolds with all the help he needed to beat the Red Sox 7 to 0. As Reynolds spun a two-hitter against the Red Sox who haven't scored on him in Yankee Sta dium in two years, Mantle deliv ered his first homer in the first inning right at the foul pole. The Red Sox protested it was a foul ball, but they had nothing but grudging admiration for the second smash.' It went to the back of the right field bull pen on the fly, 450 feet at least. Reynolds, who struck out sev en but walked eight, gained his 14th victory and fifth shutout and the Yankees went in front by Wi games once more. Indians Rained Out - TJie second place Indians were rained out of their game with Detroit, while the Senators top ped the Athletics 6 to 5 with an unearned run in the ninth inn ing, then dropped the second game 2 to 1 as lefty Alex Kell ner pitched seven-hit ball ' to gain his ninth victory. The Browns and "White Sox also were rained out. , In the National League, the Dodgers took their biggest lead of the season, moving nine full games ahead of the Giants by splitting with the Phils while New York lost a pair to Boston 11 to 10 and 4 to 2. . The Phils were 7 to 2 victors as Robin Roberts won his 18th game and his seventh in a row in the opener, but Brooklyn re bounded to take the second game 9 to 5 with a home run spree in the sixth inning. The Cubs slamme'd down the Cards 10 to 2, and the Reds topped the Pirates 10 to 4 in other National League games. Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE W. L.
