Redlegs Bless, Braves Cuss
Homers; Mantle Raps No. 45
By MILTON RICHMAN
United Pre Sports Writer
Cincinnati's power - packed
Redlegs, on their way to a new
major league record, blessed the
all mighty home run today
while the Milwaukee Braves
cussed it for shaving their Na
tional league lead to IVi games.
To add to the general home
ran turmoil, Mickey Mantle
clouted his 45th Tuesday night
to move five games ahead of
Babe Ruth's record pace in a 4-0
victory by the Yankees over the
Athletics.
The Redlegs Really hit the
home run jackpot in their 11-1
romp over the Giants. Rookie
Frank Robinson hit two, and
Ed Bailey contributed a three
run homer to help Joe Nuxhall
coast to his 10th triumph.
Robinson's two homers gave
him a total of 34, only four
short of the rookie record se
by Wally Berger of the Boston
Braves in 1930. The Redlegs,
with a .total of 189 homers so
far. are now seven home runs
ahead of the Giants' pace of
1947 when the Polo Grounders
set the all-time major league
mark of 221.
Pirates Rebound
Dale Long's three-run homer
in the seventh inning broke the
backs of the Braves and figured
prominently in the Pirates'
come - from - behind 5-4 victory.
Until the seventh, veteran War
ren Spahn had a 4-0 lead, thanks
to a pair of homers by Eddie
Mathews.
Then the roof fell in with
Long's 25th homer highlighting
a four-run rally that tied the
score. Dick Groat supplied the
clincher in the eighlh when he
singled off loser Bob Trow
bridge to bring home Frank
Thomas with the winning run.
The defeat left the Braves
only a game and a half ahead of
the second-place Dodgers, who
divided a doubleheader with the
Cubs. Brooklyn rallied for three
runs in the' ninth to win the
opener, 6-4, but Chicago took
the nightcap, limited tb 7'i in
nings by darkness, 4-3.
Newcomba Wins 21st-
Singles by Carl Furillo and
Jackie Robinson featured the
Dodgers' winning rally in the
opener as Don Newcombe regis
tered his 21st victory in relief.
The Cubs decided the nightcap
with two runs in the seventh on
Gene Baker's homer and Hobie
Landrith's walk with the bases
loaded. '
Home runs by Marv Blaylock,
Solly Hemus and Del Ennis gave
the Phillies a 6-4 victory over
the Cardinals. Southpaw Curt
Simmons overcame an unsteady
start to post his 11th victory.
Mantle's homer, a three-run job
off Art Ditmar in the third in
ning, was the payoff blow in
the Yankees' victory over Kan
fas City. The game, halted after
six innings by rain, also featured
Bob Turley's two-run pitching,
good for his eighth victory
against three defeats.
By winning, the Yanks went
eight games ahead of the second.
place Indians, who fell before
Ray Moore of Baltimore, 1-0.
Tosses Four-Hitter
Moore tossed a four-hitter to
edge rookie southpaw Hank
Aguirre in a pitching duel that
-was decided in the first inning
when Bob Boyd singled, took
second on a balk and came
home on Bob Nieman's double.
Minnie Minoso's two-run hom
er in the eighth inning gave the
MEDFORDSeTRIBUNE
SIPdDIRTrS
White Sox a 5-3 decision in the
second half of a twi-night dou
bleheader after the Senators
took the first game, 6-2, with
the help of homers by Herb
Plews and Clint Courtney.
Al Kaline, beginning to look
like his old self again after an
early-season slump, drove in
three runs with a triple and his
24th homer in leading the De
troit Tigers to a 6-3 victory over
the Boston Red Sox.

Salem Picks
Up 20-9 Win
In NW Loop
By JOHN R. LONG
United Press Sports Writer
The Salem Senators once
again are breathing hot on the
necks of the Yakima Bears in
the second-half Northwest league
pennant race thanks to the hit
ting of Chuck Essigian and the
generosity of the Lewiston pitch
ing staff.
Essigian collected three hits in
four times at bat last night, in
cluding a three-run home run as
he led Salem to a 20-9 victory
over Lewiston. The win hoisted
Salem to within a half game Jf
the league-leading Bears.
But four Lewiston pitchers
helped the Senators' cause by
issuing 14 walks. Bob Wads
worth who was relieved in the
third inning by Bob Roberts was
charged with the loss, and Jerry
Cade was the winning pitcher.
Sampson Booms
Spokane, with Jim Sampson's
booming bat showing the way,
climbed into third place by
sweeping a double-header from
Eugene, 4-3 and 9-6.
Sampson drove in two runs
with a home run and a single
in the opener, then personally
accounted for all nine Spokane
runs in the nightcap.
He hit one out of the park in
the third inning with two men
on, and doubled in two more
runs in the eighth. Just to make
the evening complete, Sampson
scored the other four runs him
self.
Wenatchee clubbed Tri-City
deeper into the cellar as the
Chiefs pounded two Tri-City
pitchers for 1C hits to win, 11-3.
Bob Duretto paced the Wenat
chee attack with a homer, double
and two singles, driving in six
runs and scoring three himself.

Turnout at
Crater High
Central Point Crater High
school's football turnout is the
smallest since the school first
opened its door six years ago
but the Comets appear to be tak
ing their rise into A-l classifica
tion in stride as twice per day
drills are held.
There's every indication that
the Crater crew does not intend
to wind up in first place.
Crater head mentor, Leonard
Warren and his staff have issued
suits to 36 prospective gridders,
including 12 lettermen, and the
top turnout for a single practice
has been 31. Warren reported
that this small group seems to
like the idea of going from A-2
into A-l. "Generally speaking
their attitude is really good.
They're showing lots of spirit
and hustling all the time," he
declared.
The coach feels the Comets
will give a good account of them
selves unless some of the key
players get hurt. So far as sub
stitution depth is concerned, the
club at this time looks "awfully
thin."
There are six two-year letter
men on the squad. They are Dick
Davis and Dave Parker, tackles;
Carl Koellner, end; Don Hub
bard, guard, and George Juve
land and Don Goyette, backs.
Other monogram wearers are
Gerald Kime end; Bill Morse
and Roger Seaman, guards; Neil
Green, center, and Wayne Allen.
Bob Elden, Lee Gossett and Ron
Harrison, backs. Green is almost
a two-year letterman.
Twelve of the lettermen have
been on hand since Hubbard and
Kime have been working. Davis,
who accidently cut his eye last
week end. has had limited drill.

about 160. A light backfield is
in prospect with Juveland heav
iest among lettermen at 170.
Allen and Elden are around 145
and Goyette about 135.
The small squad is compen
sated by the largest football
coaching staff at the school. War
ren has Clarence Mellbye as line
coach and Ed Knapp and Ron
Lamb as assistant. Bill Piche and
Jim Nau. freshman tutors, are
now working with the varsity
and Piche may continue to de
vote considerable time to the
main string.
The number of coaches with
the small group has enabled the
staff to accomplish much and
faster than normal progress has
been made. It is planned to start
scrimmages Wednesday evening.
Workouts have been at 9 a.m.
and 7 p.m.
