Homer Drive
By UNITED PRESS
The ''Baltimore jinx" hound
ed Mickey Mantle again Satur
day but teammates Bill Skow
ron, Billy Martin and Cil Mc
Dousald hit home runs to lead
the New York Yankees to a 4-1
victory over the Orioles in the
first game of a day-night
doubleheader.
Mantle, who hasn't hit a hom
er at Baltimore's sprawling Me
morial stadium this season, went
hitless against the combined
slants of Skinny Brown and
George Zuverink. However, his
hefty .bat wasn't even needed
as the Yankees picked up a run
in the second inning on singles
by Joe Collins and Hank Bauer,
plus a .neat squeeze bunt by
Gerry Coleman.
Skowron Homers
Skowron then led off the
fourth with his 19th homer,
Martin added his in the fifth
and McDougald connected in the
ninth. Tom Studidvant, mean
while, limited the Orioles to six
hits and missed a shutout on a
second inning homer by Bob
Kieman.
The Washington Senators
scored two runs in the ninth
inning to defeat the Boston Red
Sox, 9-7, for the 11th in 15 meet
ings this season. Ted Williams
and Ted Lcpcio each hit two
homers for the Red Sox but they
weren't enough to fight off the
Nats, who probably would be
battling for the pennant if they
played Boston every day.
With the score tied at 7-7 in
the ninth Washington loaded the
bases on a walk, a single by
Jose Valdivielso, a iorce out and
an error by Red Sox pitcher
Ike Delock. Herb Plews' in
field hit scored Valdivielso with
the winning run and a walk to
Pete Runnels forced home the
second run.
Wynn Gets Victory
Larry Doby's double in the
eighth inning knocked in the
winning run as the Chicago
White Sox edged the Detroit
Tigers. 2-1. Bob Kecgan allow
ed only five hits for the White
Sox, who now have won 10 of
their last 12 games. Paul Foy
tack was the losing pitcher.
Early Wynn registered his
14th victory of the season as the
Cleveland Indians routed the
Kansas City Athletics. 8-1. Wynn
held the A s to six hits in seven
innings. He left the game vol
untarily after the seventh be
cause of the excessive heat in
Cleveland.
In the only National league
day game. Dale Long and Jack
Shepard each .hit home runs in
pacing the Pittsburgh Pirates
to a 9-1 triumph over the New
York Giants. Bob Friend scat
tered nine hits in recording his
14th victory against 12 defeats.
He lost a shutout in the second
inning when Bill White singled,
stole second and scored on Fos
ter Castleman's single.

Program Paying
Olympic Women
Philadelphia tU.R) There
was little doubt Saturday that
the AAU'S junior Olympic de
velopment program is paying
dividends in U. S. women's track
and field stars.
Backers of the program had
only to point to the six meet
records and one new American
standard established Friday in
the National AAU girls' cham
pionships here at Franklin field.
One of the top prospects is
Pamela Kurrell, 17-year old San
Francisco high school student,
who staged the greatest one-girl
performance in the history of the
meet. Her most outstanding feat
in a triple-win effort was the 139
feet, one inch toss in the discus,
which smashed all American
marks. The old standard of 137
foet. 3' 4 inches was set back in
1932 at Chicago by J. Wajsonwa
of Poland.

Ont.. Saturday as she captured
her third consecutive Canadian
Ladies' Open Golf championship
with a onc-up victory over
United States amateur champion
Pat Lesser of Seattle, Wash., on
the 37th hole.
Miss Lesser staged a late rally
to even the match at the end of
the regulation 36 holes, but then
lost out on the first extra hole
when she missed a 10-foot putt
after Miss Stewart posted a bir
die three. .
Miss Stewart had taken a two
