Mantle Slams
iilwaukie on
By FRED DOWN

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

who came closest to the mark
Foxx had 29 homers at the end
of June a figure Mantle should
easily top in the next 10 days
while Greenbcrg had hit only
24 on June 30, 1938. 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. Stan
Lopata's 12th homer of the year
gave him his margin of victory

The swing-happy Los Angeles
Angels, who have been rockin'
and rollin' the Pacific Coast
league all season, found some
body stepping on their blue
suede shoes today.
Swing was about all the An
gels did against San Francisco's
Russ Kemmerer Wednesday and
they were muted by a 4-0 score.
Meanwhile the Seattle Rain
iers beat out a 7-6 victory over
San Diego and moved into a
virtual tie with Los Angeles,

mento by the same score to
break an 11-game losing streak.
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

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

1 Mile North of Ashland on
Preliminary swings around the
course for the past two days
found the pros guessing that two
under par, a 270 score which
eluded a field of 138 a year ago.
could win.
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.
