Mickey Mantle Has His Finest Day;
Hits for Cycle To Take Ghisox Apart
By FRED DOWN
United Prei Sporu Writer
Mickey Mantle's homer wasn't
quite out of this world and the
Chicago White Sox aren't quite
out of the American league pen
nant race but both points seem
academic today in the wake of
the New York Yankee slugger's
"greatest day in baseball."
In a one-man show that rivaled
anything ever accomplished by
Babe Ruth himself, Mantle's vir
tually single-handedly took the
White Sox apart Tuesday night
in a 10-6 victory that sent the
Yankees 51 i games ahead of the
American league's sole remain
ing "contender."
"I'd have to say it was my
greatest day in baseball," the
25-year-old slugger admitted.
"At least, I can't remember a
better one."
First, there was the thrill of
Mickey's 465-foot homer in the
third inning that came close to
being the first fair ball ever
hit out of Yankee Stadium.
The White Sox, out-gunned
but dead game, battled back to
go ahead, 6-4, in the sixth in
ning only to have Mantle deliver
a triple with the bases filled,
highlighting a five-run seventh
inning uprising that sent the
world champions in front, 9-6.
In all, the Yankee slugger hit
. for the cycle single, double,
triple and homer for the first
time in his big league career,
took over the batting lead, .367,
and the runs-batted-in lead, 69,
and moved to within one of Ted
Williams in the homer race with
a total of 26.
Ditmar Gets Win
Mantle hit his super homer
batting left-handed against right
hander Bob Keegan and blasted
his game-winning triple batting
right handed against left-hander
Jack Harshman, who was tagged
with his fifth defeat. Art Ditmar,
third of four Yankee pitchers,
-was credited with his seventh
win although Bob Grim shut out
the White Sox for the last two
Innings.
Frank Sullivan scattered 10
hits to pitch the Boston Red Sox
-to a 1-0 victory over the Kansas
City Athletics and Billy Hoeft
won his third decision as the De
itroit Tigers whipped the Balti
.rnore Orioles, 5-2, in other AL
'games. Cleveland at Washington
was rained out.
; The Red Sox scored the only
;run of their game in the fourth
Tinning when Jackie Jensen
Jsinclcd. went to third on Joe
SDeMaestri's error and tallied
'-on Billy Consolo's single. Sulli
;van struck out nine Athletics
;as he gained his ninth victory.
;Virgil Trucks suffered his fourth
defeat.
i Bill Tuttle and Ray Boone had
a double and two singles each to
flead the Tiger's nine-hit assault
Ton four Baltimore pitchers.
tHoeft yielded seven hits in 8 23
Innings before Harry Byrd came
JSn to retire the last batter.

Johnny Logan tripled home

ning for the only run Buhl need
ed to notch his 11th win and
second shutout. Milwaukee's Red
Schoendienst singled in the
eighth inning to run his batting
streak to 20 games but Hank
Aaron, back in action after five
games, went hitless.

hitter to gain his fifth shutout

ers, who scored the game's only
run in the second inning on re
serve catcher Rube Walker's
bases-filled single. Stan Musial

the 2,90Cth hit of his career.

Law win his third game in seven
days and seventh of the year.

Rivals Perspire
Yanks Stay Cool;
New York (Tl It's great
to be a Yankee these hot days
at Yankee Stadium.
When the Yankees returned
home Tuesday night to open a
17-game home stand, they found
their dugout has been air-conditioned
a five-ton unit waft
ing cool breezes up and down
the bench while a de-humidifier
gets rid of all that nasty moist
ure in the air.
All this, of course, has been
done in the Yankees' dugout.
The visiting team still has to
sweat it out.

REJECTS OFFER
Corvallis iW John Thomas,
assistant football coach at Ore
gon State, said today he had
turned down an offer to become
head football coach and athletic
director at a U. S. Air Force
base near London.
West Coast
but the fans have been through
that before with bitter disap
pointment. It was only 10 years ago that
Paul Fagan purchased the San
Francisco Seals with the idea of
either getting the club into the
majors or making the PCL a
third major league.
Fagan got absolutely no co
operation in his plans and final
ly sold the club in bitter dis
illusion. The mayors of Los Angeles
and San Francisco have been
painting a beautiful picture of
financial security, big attend
ance, huge stadium, etc., to the
Dodgers and they are overlook
ing a lot of the pitfalls that the
average fan knows all about.
The Pitfalls
For instance:
Horace Stoneham, president of
the Giants, has been quoted as
blaming horse racing in and
around New York for the fail
ing attendance in that city.
If Stoneham thinks he had
horse racing troubles there, wait
until ne gets to California. There
is horse racing 52 weeks of the
year here with huge attend
ances. , Hollywood Park and
Santa Anita average better than
25,000 attendance per day; Gold
en Gate Fields, Bay Meadows
Del Mar and Tanforan about 10.-
000 per day.
Mayor George Christopher of
San Francisco has stated that
he thinks the Giants would sell
out the 22,000 capacity of Seals
Stadium for every day of the
year here. That's the most opti
mistic statement of the year.
The -San Francisco weather is
not conducive to daily sell-outs.
The salvation for big league
baseball in San Francisco is a
stadium that will hold at least
50,000 for Sundays and the few
hot days that hit the city in the
summer time.
Winners Needed
If the Los Angeles and San
Francisco entries have pennant
contenders there Is no doubt that
the yearly attendance will go
well over the million mark
possibly even two million in Los
Angeles.
San Francisco currently holds
the PCL one-year attendance
record, just above 600,000.
But if they have last-place
clubs the attendance will certain
ly be cut to less than half.
The fan in the street knows
the problems involved and he
is only hopeful for the best.
"It would be wonderful to go
out and watch major league
baseball," says Jack Peebles, a
fan for years of the San Fran
cisco Seals. "But I've been read
ing about the possibility now
for a long time. If they come
it will be great. But I'll believe
it when I see the first game be
ing played."
That's the general attitude.
And it all sums up to this:
The fans will believe it when
they see it.

Ems, Chiefs
Win in NWL
By UNITED PRESS
Pace-setting Wenatchee and
runner-up Eugene were unable
to gain an inch on each other
Tuesday in their two and a half
week dogfight for the Northwest
League last night.
The Chiefs were still out front
by a game and a half after turn
ing back Salem, 3-1, while the
Emeralds stayed close by edging
Lewiston by an identical mar
gin. In a private feud at the other
end of the scale, Tri-City found
itself scraping bottom again
after falling to Yakima, 4-3.
Pete Carillo was a big factor
in the Chiefs' win, fanning seven
and walking just two in collect
ing his third victory in eight
decisions. He was in trouble
only in the third when the Sen
ators scored their single run.
Salem starter Tom Bigson took
his eleventh loss against nine
wins.
. Don White, who relieved Eu
gene starter Norm Tanner in the
fifth, picked up his second vic
tory in five decisions. Chuck
Davidson, Lewiston starter, lost
his sixth out of 14 starts. Zeke
King scored two runs and Pete
Mikacich one for Eugene's total.

walks by losing pitcher Jerry
McClure to break a five-game
winning streak. McClure's rec
ord now stands at 1-1. Wayne
Sperry, first of three Bear
pitchers, won his fifth against
six defeats.

If you don't believe it, ask
Hollywood.
The Stars had it made. They
were four runs ahead of Los An

a sure bet to take over second
place in the Pacific Coast league

Then the roof fell in. With no
previous warning, Wally Lam

home run that tied up the game
6-6. With that under their belts,
the Angels piled on two more
runs to take the win. Bennie
Daniels, 12-3, lost while reliefer
Gene Mickens, 6-5, won.
The final tally, Los Angeles
8, Hollywood 6.

Stanka's superb pitching put
Sacramento back in seventh
place along with some help from
San Diego, which came from be
hind to defeat the Beavers.
San Digeo Rally
The game in San Diego had
its moments also. Portland took
a two run lead in the fifth and
was well on the way to winning
until the seventh when Preston
Ward hit his 11th homer of the
year with none on.
With things looking up, the
Pads added three more runs in
the same frame to hand Beaver
starter Box Alexander his 11th
loss against seven wins. John
Gray, 4-3, won.
In Seattle, 18-year-old Bill
Prout looked like a veteran in
his fourth start for the Seals. He
allowed only four hits, struck
out nine and walked three in
chalking up his third win
against one loss.
Losing hurler Charlie Rabe,
6-11, and reliefer Bill Kennedy
also tnrew fine ball, giving up
only five hits between them. But
San Francisco collected two un
earned runs in the third off
Rabe and, added to the run made
by Marty Keough in the first,
that spelled the game.
Seattle scored its tally in the
fourth when Hal Bevan drove in
a runner.
