Mantle Clouts Two Homers as Yankees Nab Six -Game Lead By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer The American League pennant race now has become as big a runaway as last year's National League chase, thanks to the fan tastic slugging power of Mickey Mantle. The Oklahoma strong boy crashed a tremendous home run in each of the Memorial Day doubleheaders to lead the New York Yankees to 4-3 and 12-5 wins over Washington boosting their AL lead to six full games over the Chicago White Sox, the new second-place tenants.. And six' games is exactly the margin enjoyed at this holiday milestone last year by the Brook lyn Dodgers as they made a shambles of the NL race. ' If Memorial Day goes down in baseball history as the day the Yankees seized command, Man tle must be the man who did it. His two homers not only were the deciding. blows in each game, but they put him 11 full games ahead of Babe Ruth's pace in his record 60-homer year. Never Done Before In the bargain, Mantle did something even Ruth never did before in Yankee Stadium, "the house that Ruth built." His fifth -inning three -run homer that decided the first game was the first in history to strike the latticework hanging from the roof of stadium in right field. No fair ball ever has been hit out of the stadium, but Man tle's drive -just missed clearing the roof by only two feet. Mantle's 20th homer, putting him one-third of the way to Ruth's mark, traveled 440 feet deep into the right-center bleach ers in th,e fifth inning of the nightcap to break a 3-3 .tie, and from there the Yankees went on to finish a 13-hit assault that included two homers by Hank Bauer and one by Eddie Robin son. The White Sox moved ahead of the Indians by beating them twice, 6-3 and 9-8 in a 10-homer doubleheader that saw two homers each by Vic Wertz and Preston Ward of the Indians and Les Moss of Chicago. The Indians bowed in the nightcap only after scoring six runs in the last of the ninth. -The other two AL twin bills also resulted in clean sweeps. The Baltimore Orioles nipped the Boston Red Sox, 2-1 and 5-4, each time on a last-of-the-ninth run. Bob Nieman singled home the first-game winner and Bob Hale did the same in the second. Detroit drubbed Kansas City, 11-3, in their morning game as pitcher Paul Foytack tossed a six-hitter and drove in five runs, and won the second, 5-1, on Vir gil Trucks' three-hitter. Redlegs Take Two . Cincinnati scored the only NL sweep and thus took second place from St. Louis by four per centage points. Ray Jablonski s three-run homer made Johnny Klippstein a 6-3 winner over the Cards in the first, and a six-run. third-inning gave the Redlegs the second, 6-3, in a game held to seven innings by rain. A wild twin bill at Chicago saw the Cubs beat Milwaukee, 10-9, in the first game, which in cluded a fight between Russ Meyer of Chicago and Bill Bru ton of the Braves, before the Braves took the second, 11-9. Bobby Thomson of the Braves walloped four of the 15 homers in the twin bill and drove in seven runs. Brooklyn scored six in the sixth to beat Philadelphia. 6-5, in their opener, .topping Robin Roberts, but the Phillies smashed 14 hits to win the sec ond, 12-3. But the New York Giants and REMODELING HELPS Washington OJ.PJ Only 45 home runs were hit at Griffith Stadium during the 1955 season but with the park's left field re modeled, 44 have been hit there already during the current American League campaign. Thursday. May 31. 1956 wet grounds. Rubber balls were used during the drill. They shed water whereas the regulation leather-covered balls soak it up and aren't much use after one good drenching. The mentor said that the rubber balls "did the job." A backstop was moved from one of the diamonds outside the stadium to serve as a batting cage. . Pittsburgh Pirates worked hard est on the holiday a total of 25 innings. The Pirates won the 10-inning opener, 5-4, when Dale Long tripled home the winning run to break a streak of 10 hit less at-bats for him, and the Giants took the 15-inning second, 5-3, on Al Dark's two-run double.

So rang the cry around the Pacific Coast league today as the baby-faced slugger with the Los Angeles Angels drew a bead on the all-time PCL mark of 60 home runs "set by the late Tony Lazzeri in 1925. The first place Angels meet staggering Vancouver for the fourth time this afternoon with roly-poly Steve sporting a total of 21 home runs and two thirds of the season yet to be played. He has belted 10 in the last 10 games, although two came in the night cap of lat Sunday's double header after he was "col lared" in the first tilt and thus lost a chance to tie a league mark of six homers in as many jousts. Wednesday Bilko connected for two more, one in each game, to help the Cherubs sweep a double header from Vancouver, 2-0 and 6-3. There was a man on base each time; Harry Perk owski rode to hi3 fourth win in the opener with Bob Anderson coming to the rescue as usual in the ninth. Dave Hillman won his fourth in the night cap.
