Mounties Have Edge
In Firepower Tangle
Br DON THACKREY
Uniud Press Sports Writer I
The Vancouver Mountici
fought firepower with firepower
in the Pacific Coast league
Thursday night and out-bar-raged
the Los Angeles Angels
but without spiking their big
gun.
Vancouver scored 18 times
and it was just as well they did.
Big Steve Bilko smacked two
homers. No. 22 and No. 23, and
the final score was a football
13-13.
Seattle and San Diego took
advantage of the Angel lapse to
move forward a bit. Seattle got
three home runs from Art
Schult and one from Bill Glynn
and beat San Diego 4-3 in 11 in
nings. Sacramento downed Hol
lywood 6-2 and Portland defeat
ed San Francisco 3-0. N
Seven Los Angeles throwers
went onto the firing line as Van
couver spanked out 16 hits and
cashed in on four Angel errors.
The Mounties got five in the
third and four in the fourth for
what should have been a com
fortable lead.
Hits and Runs
But the Angels, with Bilko
homering twice and Gale Wade
and George Freese once each
came back. They got four each
in the third and fifth and then
added five in the eighth. That
would have done it had not the
Mounties been provident enough
to score eight times in the sev
enth only two of them earned
Witty Quintana hit the only
round tripper for the winners.
Schult cracked homers in the
fourth and seventh innings and
Glynn hit one in the sixth for
three Seattle runs. Ebba St.
Claire got two for San Diego,
one in the fourth and one in the
sixth. The Pads added a fifth in
ning run to send the game over
time at 3-3. But Schult was not
through. He hit his third of the
game in the 11th to give Howie
Judson the decision over John
Carmichae!.
The Solons stayed in second
place and moved to within
three games of Los Angeles by
scoring five runs in the fourth
frame against Hollywood. The
Stars were ahead at the time 2-0

Mantle Plain
Who Likes Playing Baseball
(Second in a series of three)
By CARTER BRADLEY
Commerce, Okla. (U.R)
Mickey Mantle was the "most
popular boy" in his graduating
class but he didn't show up that
June night in 1949 when the
Commerce High seniors got their
diplomas.
As might have been expected,
Mickey was playing baseball.
He got four hits for the Com
merce "Whiz Kids" against the
Coffeyville, Kan., team. After
the game was over, sitting in a
parked car, Mickey's dad signed
a contract for him with a Yan
kee scout tying him to the Yank
farm organization.
The story of Mickey Mantle
; is a fulfillment of the legend of
i millons of American boys dream
i ing of becoming the greatest
i baseball player of all.
Mantle may do just that. At
! age 24 he already is compared
with Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb.
I He is taking the American
I League apart this year and
threatening Ruth's great record
: of 60 homers in one year,
j If ever an athlete epitomized
I the small town boy who lived
! virtually nothing but baseball,
; it is Mantle. Off the field he is
! still shy and withdrawn, far
j more at home in Ott Chandler's
! drugstore here than in New
I York's Toots Shors the baseball
1 stars' hangout.
"He's just a plain, big old
i country boy who liked to play
baseball from the day he was
: old enough to carry a mitt," says
; Ralph Sears, the bank president
! in Mickey's home town. V
; Good Student
j Mrs. Berty Jacoby, one of his
high school teachers, recalls that
. Mickey was a good student.
"When I had him in junior
English he sometimes turned in
the best themes in the class,"
she says. "But baseball had the
upper hand. His themes were in
variably about athletics."
Baseball led Mickey to his
first and only sweetheart, too.
He met his wife-to-be, pretty
I Merlyn Johnson; when the Com-
merce school team played Pitch
' er, Okla. Marlyn was a drum
majorette. They have two child
ren, Mickey, 3, and David, five
months. Mrs. Mantle is just leav
ing now for New York to join
: Mickey for the rest of the season.
Mickey's dad, "Mutt," a miner

racer, he'll be hard to catch.
McCoy Busy
Jack McCov has been busy at
the Crescent City, Calif., track
and the. Klamath Falls oval,
showing the other drivers what
the rear end of his car looks like
and will be trying to do the same
thing at Valley View. Cecil
James has been working on a
hot racer and has already given
it a few workouts on the new
track.
Racing should be fast and
furious, starting with the time
trials at 6:30 p.m. and the first
chase at 8 p.m. and continuing
right on through the program.
Country Boy
in this lead and zinc town of
2445, used to pitch for the town
te-.m. He taught the boy base
ball, pitched to him righthanded
while Mickey's grandfather
pitched to him left-handed.
The boy and father were good
pals. Donn Dodd, Mickey's best
friend in high school and now a
reporter for the Miami, Okla.,
News-Record, recalls a hunting
trip that he and Mickey made
with the elder Mantle.
"We'd been hunting quail all
day and hadn't got a bird after
using all our ammunition," Dodd
recalls. Mickey was carrying his
dad's .410-.22, a combination
shotgun and rifle.
Bad Swing
"Walking home Mickey hap
pened on a covey. He stalked
through the weeds and swung
at a big hen .with the stock of
the gun. It hit a log and broke.
Man alive 1 Did he catch the
dickens!
Mickey's father died in 1952,
the year after Mickey went up
to the Yankees after playing
with Independence, Kan., Jop
lin. Mo., and Kansas City.
His mother doesn't think her
son has changed much. After
every season he hotfoots it back
to Commerce. He and his wife
have built a new six-room bun
galow here.
Mickey was also a star half
back for Commerce. In one prac
tice session, he was kicked in the
ankle and a bone infection
osteomyelitis resulted. It was
arrested but that, plus a trick
right knee, kept him out of mili
tary service. The knee is still a
constant worry, particularly
since he is probably the fastest
man in the majors.
No Hero RoU
It's doubtful whether Mantle
will ever become used to the
hero role.
"When's he's here he comes in
the store and goes back there
behind the shelves to pass the
time of day," says druggist Chan
dler. "He's afraid some stranger
will spot him and make a fuss
about it."
Commerce thinks a lot of
Mickey.
"We're planning a blowout on
July 20 when the Yanks get
back to Kansas City," says Chan
dler. "We want to charter some
buses and go up there as a group
and give Mickey a present of
some Kind
