Mantle Revives, Yanks Triumph;
Milwaukee Makes It Number 11
By CARL LUNDQUIST
United Press Suorts Writer
The middle letters in his name
spell K-E-Y M-A-N and make no
mistake about it MicK-E-Y MA-N-tle
is just that in the New York
Yankee pennant picture right
now.
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.

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.

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.

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.
