Never was his value more clearly demonstrated than Mon day night when he collected four hits in a 9-3 victory over the Athletics at Kansas City that put the Yankees a game and a half ahead of the idle, pesky Chicago White Sox. Mantle hit no homers, even though the Yankees collected four, two by rookie Norm Sie bern and one each by Hank Bauer and Joe Collins. He re mained 14 games ahead of Babe Ruth's record pace of 60 homers for 1927 with a total of 27, but that right now is immaterial. What Mantle did was to upset the entire Kansas City lineup, pitchers, fielders, hitters. In the first inning he tripled to drive in a run. A's Shift Foiled In the third inning, when the Athletics were stacked heavily around the right side of the dia- mond. Mantle foiled the shift by bunting safely down third. In the fifth he again capitalized on the maneuvers by beating out a hit to the man in short center field, a ball normally handled by the shortstop. In the sixth he got a normal single when the shift was not on. It is used only when Mantle bats lefty. Beyond, the significance of Mantle's four hits was the vic tory. In Chicago Mantle was stopped with four scattered hits for four games and the Yankees lost all of them. Time and again it has developed that the Yan kees lose when Mantle is stopped. That isn't too often. In the National League, the So smooth lfS"?! it leaves you ivQaf m mm JT. breathless mirnoff OHKA 0 Proof OWtned frennraln. Ste.PTerre Smirnoff tlx. (Dm of UeuUeinL Huttord, Cowl U.S. A. bumptious Braves who may have established a pact with their new Manager Fred Haney, never to lose another game, won their 11th in a row since he took over, 8-5 against the Phillies and they had to offset a three-run eighth inning homer by Willie Jones to do it. In the ninth a squeeze bunt by Del Crandall brought in one run, a sacrifice fly by Hank Aaron delivered another and a single by Bobby Thompson com pleted the conquest. It was the longest streak for Milwaukee since it came into the league and significantly perhaps all of the wins have been on the road. Pirates Lose Another Cincinnati stayed two games back in second place with a 2-1 triumph over the skidding Pi rates. Ted Kluszewski hit his 14th homer in the seventh and Ray Jablonski delivered another run on a sacrifice fly as the Reds came from behind to gain the triumph on Art Fowler's five hitter. Brooklyn's "displaced per sons," the Dodgers, who have distressed their home fans with recent ineptness, went to their Jersey City haven and scored a 3-2 victory over the Cubs, com ing from behind with two runs in the eighth on an error, Junior Gilliam's triple and a scoring fly by PeeWee Reese. It was Carl Erskine's first victory since his no-hitter over the Giants on May 12. In the only other American League game, the Senators de feated the Tigers at Detroit, 5-3 when Clint Courtney hit a two run homer in the eighth. Billy Hoeft had struck out 10 and blanked Washington until the seventh when he tired. There were no other major league games scheduled.

MEDFORDtfliTRBUNE IPdl) Colts Skirmish Roseburg Here on Wednesday Night Eldon Davidson is the likely starting pitcher for the Cheney Colts Wednesday evening when they step out of league action to take on Roseburg's Merchants at the fairgrounds baseball park here. Manager Harry Tonn indicat ed that Davidson would get the call with Kay Kelley and handy man Jim Taylor available for relief. There's little Information available on the independent semi-pro Merchant aggregation from the Douglas country me tropolis but it could prove a heavy hitting club. The Mer chants trimmed Grants Pass 5 to 1 in seven innings Sunday after the Colts had tipped GP 5 to 4 in the Rogue Valley league. GP made it a close game until the sixth inning when Roseburg got to pitcher Mel Drews for a dou ble, homerun, single and -triple in that order for three runs. Line-up Listed Roseburg's line-up isn't yet available. For the Colts, Manager Tonn said that Duane Sides or Harvey Tonn will be at first base, Mor- rie Churchman at second base, Frank Rector at shortstop and Dorm Johnson or Keith Johnson at third. Howard Morris may handle the catching chores. Out fielders may be selected from among Doy Gatlin, Larry Big- ham, Ed Reinking and Bob Serak. The Colts, who got a boost from shoving GP from the RVL unmarred status last week end, will use the Wednesday fray to keep in trim for their loop en counter next Sunday with Ash land. Roseburg will be host to the Cheney farm club on July 4. Wednesday's game here is slat ed for 8 p.m. Hileman Elected PITA President Reno, Nev. (U.R) W. W.

PHONE 3-4018, MEDFORD Beavers Defeated by Rain; Elliott Wins in First Game 'Beet Not Horse' Said Homer Cause Cincinnati, Ohio (U.R) Na tional league officials, a bit an noyed by all this talk about a rabbit ball, rallied to the horsehide's defense today and de clared that beefier players are the real reason for this year s home run rampage. "There has been no change in j the baseball for a great number of years," .league officials insisted. If you don't believe it, the NL invites you to check with A. G. Spalding Co., which makes the ball, or the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia, which last week conducted tests purporting to show the 1956 baseball has no more pep than the '55 model. If the ball hasn't changed, the players have and the league insists that there is the answer to homer hitting. The players are simply bigger and stronger than they used to be and more of them are capable of hitting homers. By UNITED PRESS The weatherman made a lot of friends in Vancouver Monday night but he had better not let the Portland Beavers get hold of him. The Beavers came from be hind with a four-run rally in the eighth inning of a Pacific Coast League game that had been repeatedly delayed by rain, but the skies opened up and the game was called at the end of seven. The four runs were there by cancelled. The victory went to Vancou ver by a score of 5-4, giving the Mounties the series, 3-1. In the only other game played in the loop, Glenn Elliott made his first start a successful one by pitching the Sacramento So lons to a 9-2 victory over San Diego. The Scoring In Vancouver, Portland start ed off with single runs in the PITCHER BACK Chicago (U.R) Veteran pitcher Harry Dorish, who broke into the major leagues with Bos ton in 1947, is back with the Red Sox today. Dorish, who'll be 33 years old on July 13, was picked up from the Baltimore Orioles for the $10,000 waiver price. SCHOENDIENST OUT New York (U.R) Al (Red) Schoendienst, second baseman the New York Giants got from the St. Louis Cardinals, will be out of action for quite some time because of a calcium deposit in his right shoulder. Walt's Only Unbeaten Softballers Walt's Lithia Motors emerged as the only unbeaten team in the Jackson County Softball as sociation after two games last night. t Walt's Lithians beat the YMCA Ysmen in a good match, 7-2. Bill's 99 Chevron Service dropped Crater Lake Motors out of its tie for first place with a 12 to 3 victory. Hendrickson registered 13 strike outs for the Lithians, al lowing runs to cross only in the second and sixth innings. Britt san slammed out a homer and Reverman got a double for Walt's in the third to bring across two runs. Sweet, on the mound for Bill's 99, pitched to only 21 batters, with four three-up and three- down innings. While he contain ed the Crater Lake men, his own club managed 12 hits off pitch ers Flanagan and Cearly. Bar num got a home run, Parmenter, Garner, and Sweet all collected triples for Bill's 99 during the game. No games are scheduled for tonight. Wednesday night it will be Medford Auto Upholstery vs. Courtesy Chevrolet; Bill's 99 Chevron Service vs. 20-30 club; and a play-off of a tie game be tween Walt's Lithia Motors and Crater Lake Motors. first and second inning, but the Mounties tied it up in the bot tom of the second. The Beavers moved out in front with another run in the fifth, but Vancouver took the lead with three runs in the same frame. The Beavers got one back in the sixth and seemed well on their way in the eighth. They tied the score and went out in front on Tom Saffell's three-run homer but then the weather man and the umpires decided that the valiant effort didn't count. Dick Young Hot Hurler For Yakima By UNITED PRESS It's a little hard to believe the Dick Young pitching for Yakima is the same Dick Young who tried so unsuccessfully last year. In 1955, Young turned in a dull 6-11 mark in Northwest league competition but this is 1956 and things are so different. Last night Young won his 11th victory with a 7-hit 13-3 win over Salem. His only bad inning came in the fourth when Chuck Essi- gan hit a three-run homer. Lewiston collected 12 hits good for a 5-2 decision over the Wenatchee Chiefs to remain four games off the pace. Dick Dodell came in to help Bob Wadsworth in the ninth to quell a Wenatchee threat. In the other league game, Tri City topped Eugene 5 to 3 al though Bill Eastburn hit two homers and John Keller one. Russ Agne came on in the ninth inning with two runners on and one out and got the last two Eu gene hitters to fly out.
