5 TWZLVE MEDFOHD (OREGON! Mantle Slams iilwaukie on By FRED DOWN United Press Sport Writer Mickey Mantle went 18 games ahead of Babe. Ruth s record home run pace today in what is now the greatest assault any player ever has made on the mark. Mantle connected twice in the New York Yankees' 4-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers Wednes day night to increase his total to 27 in 60 games. Ruth didn't hit No. 27 until the Yankees 78th game in 1927. Because Ruth closed that season with 17 hom ers in September it is not too unusual for a player "to be ahead of Babe's pace" at this stage of the race. But Mantle's current pace also is faster than the two sluggers Bi .i,!J.'iPM E -ST IT! WV DRIVE WTH 00 BRAKES 4 CWk mm AaW trot 1M4. 5 hmt trake SfcoM. Crefalry Teat Irak. I WE HAVE IT . . .

Both wound up with 58 homers. Yanks' Seventh Straight With Mantle exploding two drives into the center field stands at Detroit's Briggs Sta dium, the Yankees equalled the current season high by rolling to their seventh straight victory. Johnny Kucks received credit for his ninth win although Whitey Ford took over in the eighth and finished up. Billy Hoeft suffered his fourth loss compared to eight triumphs. The Chicago White Sox re mained 51-2 games behind the Yankees when they outslugged the Baltimore Orioles, 12-8, in a three-hour and 37 -minute struggle. The White Sox over came an early 4-0 deficit to slug seven Baltimore pitchers for 15 hits including a homer by Larry Doby. It was the White Sox' sixth triumph in seven games. Al Rosen singled home Bobby Avila in the 10th inning to give the Cleveland Indians a 5-4 edge over the Boston Red Sox, after Gene Woodling tied the score with an eighth-inning homer. Herb Score struck out 10 batters in six innings to reach the 100 mark for the season but relief pitcher Don Mossi was credited with the win. Tom Hurd was the losing pitcher. The Washington Senators scor ed three runs on only one hit in the eighth and ninth innings to beat the Kansas City Ath letics, 5-4. Connie Grob won his second game for the Senators while Troy Herriage suffered his sixth loss. Braves Take NL Lead In the National League, the Milwaukee Brave remained un beaten under Fred Haney and took over first place when they beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-3. Gene Conley went the route for the first time as the Braves scored their fifth straight win. It was the fifth straight defeat for the Pirates and dropped them into fifth place. Milwau kee's road record now is 16-10 for .615. The Cincinnati Redlegs, 11-14 on the road, dropped out of first place when they were beaten, 3-2, by Curt Simmons and the Philadelphia Phillies. Simmons struck out seven in winning his third game of the season.

Swing was about all the An gels did against San Francisco's Russ Kemmerer Wednesday and they were muted by a 4-0 score.

The currently hot San Fran' Cisco club combined the five-hit pitching of Kemmerer with the heavy hitting of Joe Tanner to even their series with the league leaders. Heavy Hitter Tanner crashed a home run, a double and a single to figure in the scoring of all Seal tallies. Mdrino Pieretti was, the vic tim as the Angels got only one man to third. In addition Kemmerer snap ped Steve Bilko's consecutive game hitting streak at 24 games when he handed the big Angel first baseman the horsecollar. " Bob Balcena's double in the bottom of the ninth drove across the winning run for Seattle after San Diego had rallied to tie it with three in the eighth and one in the ninth. The game was a sloppy one with each side committing four errors. The Padres had 12 hits and the Rainiers 18. Tom Herrera, third San Diego pitcher, was the loser and re lief artist Bill Kennedy got the win, also scoring the winning run. Mouniies Moving Vancouver won its fourth game in the past six by rallying for three runs in the bottom of the eighth to down the Stars. It was only the second setback for Hollywood in its past 17 games. Pinch hitter Jerry Jacobs doubled home the tying and winning runs. Fred Baczewski, fourth of five Mountie hurlers, got the win over Lino Donoso for the Stars. Chuck Stevens homered for the Hollywood club. Bob Borkowski hit a grand slam home run for the Portland Beavers in the fifth inning to bring them from behind . and provide a margin of victory Nippy Jones homered for the losers as Sacramento slipped out of the first division.

Satferfield Likes Contender Position Chicago J.R) Bob Satter- field's victory over sixth ranked heavyweight Johnny Summerlin makes him either a logical claimant to the light heavy weight title or a challenger for the heavyweight crown, his manager, Ike Bernstein, contend ed somewhat illogically today "We'll fight anybody," he said ."If they won't give us chance in that heavyweight eliminations, we'll claim the light heavyweight title. There's nobody to beat us out of it, and we can make 175 pounds." Satterfield, though beaten 21 times in his 66 fight career, weighed only 183 .pounds Wed nesday night, but overcame Summerlin, 24-years-old and 194 pounds, handily. It was Sum merlin's fifth loss in 37 pro fights and ended a 12 fight win ning streak.

Middlecoff, the Tennessee den tist, was the one who said 270 was the score to aim for, and that probably 269 could sew it up tight. The subpar goal was set by the condition of the course. It is under the supervision of George Fazio, who tied with Ben Hogan and Demaret for the Open title in 1950 in his role as a Fairmount Park supervisor, and the vote was that the job was well done. Last year there was trouble on three greens, the result of the late August flash floods which swept over the bank of the small creek going in and out of the park woodlands. Now the greens are in top condition to challenge good golf. The tournament runs through Sunday, with the field out after the opening rounds.
