Valley Time Trials 6:30 1 J4 SUITS Jimmy Foxx Pulling for Mick Mantle By RON LEVITT Miami, Fla. (U.R) Jimmy Foxx, who came within a whis ker of tying Babe Ruth's 60- homer record 24 years ago, came right out and said today he is pulling for Mickey Mantle, to break the mark. "It won't take a thing away from the Babe," Foxx said. "He's a legend. Most of today's fans never saw Ruth play and baseball needs a new hero." Foxx, still big, husky and powerful looking as he was with the Philadelphia Athletics his prime during 1932 when he hit 58 homers, feels Mantle's chances to crack Ruth's record this season are good. "The kid's hot," said old Dou ble-X, as he was affectionately known in his playing days. "He's on a streak . . . and from where he's sitting now his chances look mighty good to me." Injured Wrist Foxx hit a total of 534 home runs during his 18 years in the majors. The year he missed Ruth's record in 1932 he injured his wrist in September and hit only three homers during that entire month. "I couldn't swing a bat after I hurt my wrist," he said. "It's funny but back in 1932 no one ever thought about breaking the record like they do today. If 1 had broken the record it wouldn't have meant much then. The fans weren't looking for a hero like they are today." Despite his injured wrist in 1932, Foxx said he could have hit 70 homers that season if the ball parks were tailored the way they are today.
