J YANKEE HEHOS A beaming Mickey Mantle (left), sharing hero honors with pitcher Art Ditmar in Yankee Stadium dressing room, Monday, raises two fingers to indicate the 28th and 29th homers he smashed in a night game with the Orioles to drive in all the runs in the Yankees' 4-3 victory. Mantle thus redeemed himself for Mantle Hits Two Homers To Put Yankees First Again And Win By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Everything's lake between Mickey and Casey again. All it took to patch things up was a pair of two run homers by Mickey Mantle. Those blows beat the Ori oles, 4-3, Monday night, put the Yankees back in first place and enabled Mantle to saunter out of Casey Stengel's dog-house looking like a blue ribbon winner. Yankeu from the line-up Sunday and publicly casti gated by Stengel for failing to run out a double play grounder, Mantle was roundly booed Monday night when he came to the plate in the fourth inning. He promptly respond ed with his 28th homer off Jerry Walker to tie the score at 2-2. Mickey came up again with one on in the eighth and Balti more leading 3-2 as a result of Jackie Brandt's homer. He got a "life" when catcher Clint Courtney muffed his foul pop and took advantage of It by belting his 29th homer off loser Hoyt Wilhelm. Wanted Good Game "I especially wanted to have a good game after what hap pened Sunday," Mantle said happily. "It can be rough if you have two bad days like that in a row." Stengel was even more elated. He didn't have to run them two out, did he?" quipped the Yankee skipper. "I needed those homers and Ira glad Mantle got 'em for me. No sense going down the pennant race with a manager arguing with his players. There had been some talk of Stengel possibly fining Mantle but Casey was in a mood to forget it after Mon day night's performance. "But that should be a warn ing to him that he can't do it," Stengel declared, mean ing Mantle has to run 'em all out from now on or ante up. Casey had plenty of reason to be happy. His pitcher, Art Ditmar, checked the Orioles on five hits and not only did Baltimore lose, but so did the Chicago White Sox. That dropped the White Sox and Orioles Into a second-place tie and moved the Yankees a half-game ahead of both. Pilches Two-Hitter Rookie Bob Bruce of the Tigers limited the White Sox to two hits in defeating hard luck Herb Score 4-1, and President Eisenhower was among those present who saw the Red Sox crush the Sen ators, 11-3, in Washington. The Indians and Athletics were Idle. The Pirates retained their six-game lead in the National league even though they drop ped a 4-3 decision to the Phil lies. The Giants downed the second-place Cardinals, 5-3, and the Reds swept a twi night twin bill from the Braves. 5-3 and 4-0, in the only other scheduled games.' Score yielded only three hits in losing to the Tigers but wild - pitched two men home in the first Inning and yielded a two-run homer to Al Kaline in the ninth. Gene Freese homered for the only White Sox' run off Bruce, who won his first major league game. Rookie Lou Clinton of the Red Sox hit a three-run homer and drove in five runs against the Senators. Big Frank Sul livan picked up his fourth victory in relief of Earl Wil son and Tex Clevenger was the loser. Pinch Double Wins Tony Gonzalez' pinch dou ble with two out in the ninth Inning scored Ruben Amaro and earned the Phils their 1 fr'L 4 :: zi Casey's Respect victory over the first - place Pirates. Gonzalez' blow came off reliever Roy Face, who was charged with the defeat. Rookie Art Mahaffey went the route for Philadelphia, yielded nine hits, including homers by Don Hoak and Bill Virdon, but gained his first major league victory. Willie Mays connected for two ' homer-, his 23rd and 24th, and Willie Kirkland added another in the Giants' victory over the Cardinals. Billy O'Dell needed help from Johnny Antonelli in the eighth but still '. as credited with his seventh victory. Ernie Brog- lio the loser, now is 14-6. Wally Post drove in four runs for the Reds with a homer and a bases - loaded double in their first game with the Braves and Frank Robinson hit a two-run homer in Cincinnati's nightcap vic tory. Jim Maloney and Bob Purkey were the winning pitchers.

Ditmar, the Yan kees' leading winner with a 12-7 record, went all the way for his fifth straight vic tory, allowing only five hits. (UPI Telephoto) The opener was enlivened by a fist fight between Eddie Mathews of the Braves and Robinson after the Cincy out fielder tried to stretch a dou ble into a triple in the sev enth inning. Matthews, who was banished, landed a punch on Robinson's right eye that caused his departure from the game. Both men played in the nightcap, however, and Rob inson robbed Mathews of an extra base hit with a spec tacular eighth-inning catch.

U.S. Olympic Coach Challenges Critics Rome-niPD-The angry young man of the Olympic Village is U. S. women s swimming coach George Haines, who is challenging Nikita Khru shchev to give the American mermaids "a saliva test." His beef: People are still talking about the story of his girls taking "pep pills" to better their times. "This is stupid, it's ridicu lous and it's insulting to our girls," Haines said after read ing a clipping from a London tabloid newspaper. His crew cut bristled and his temper was at a boiling point. The British newspaper sug gested that Olympic athletes take "a saliva test" to show they have not been using dope. "The Russians picked this up, too," Haines said. "They talked about their food being Communist food and their training being Communist training and their athletes Ray Robinson Reinstated By Maryland Balitmore-IUPD - Sugar Ray Robinson, reinstated by the Maryland Athletic commis sion and other organizations, is able today to sign for an NBA middleweight title fight with champion Gene Fullmer at Los Angeles, Oct. 8. The Maryland commission lifted Sugar Ray's indefinite suspension at a Baltimore hearing Monday night after the former middleweight and welterweight champion had apologized profusely for fail ing to show up for a postpon ed Baltimore fight last May. At Bagerstown, Ind., Arch Hindman-executive secretary of the National Boxing as sociation said the Maryland reinstatement automatically lifts the NBA suspension. And at Los Angeles, Clay ton Frye secretary of the California commission said Russians Arrive Hungry In Rome Rome (UPD Foreign ob servers viewing Russian Olympians for the first time are at a loss to say whether the Soviet stars have a big ger appetite for food or gold medals. It was pretty much a tie Monday when the Russians consumed four cases of soft drinks and immenese helpings of spaghetti before predict ing that they'll take the lion's share of the gold medals, too. "I have been reading some of the predictions in the American press," said trainer Arsenei Sokolov o the Soviet modern pentathlon squad. 'And I can say that I agreed with them." The Russians, who won 37 gold medals to 32 for the United States in the 1956 games at Melbourne, Austra lia, may win as many as 40 in this Olympiad. The Unit ed States is figured for be tween 30 and 36. "I won't predict the ex act number of medals," said boxing trainer Sergei Sher bacov, "but we are all here to win." The Russians won the pre Olympic eating contest hands down as far as Italian chef Oreste Quattroni was con cerned. "They really stowed it away," he said in amaze ment. "I thought I was ready for them but I wasn't."

"Maybe Mr. Khrushchev would like to come to Rome personally and give our girls a saliva test," Haines said. "Let him come - the story just isn't true." The story came from the father of one of the U.S. team women swimmers who said he found "pep pills" in the women's dressing room during the Olympic trials at Detroit. "I wouldn't be surprised if some of the European coun tries brought this up before the Olympic executive com mittee," Haines said angrily. "That's okay by me. If neces sary we'll give the girls time trials the day before each event to show what they can do." "These girls have worked hard to get where they are," he said. "They've been train ing for these Olympics for years and to put this sort of thing up to them is a real shame." Commission the Maryland action cleared the way for any fight Sugar Ray wanted in California, al though California ' is not a member of the NBA. A spokesman for the New York State commission said his organization is expected to reinstate 39-year-old Rob inson as soon as it receives official notification of Mary land's action. New York is not an NBA member but it has a working agreement with California. Promoter George Parnassus of Los Angeles expressed de light at Robinson's reinstate ment and said he would stage the Oct. fight with champion Fullmer of West Jordan, Utah, at the new Los Angeles Sports Arena or at Wrigley Field. He added, "Of course, I haven't signed them yet." ing the wrestling, weightlift ing, boxing, marathon, canoe ing, and cycling squads -brought U.S. representation to 170. The Americans already here were hesitant to make predictions even though U.S. track stars are generally con cede to form the strongest track and field team in his tory. Gordon' Hall of Los An geles, a member of the U.S. water polo team, said "We ought to get in the first four" after a 6-0 scrimmage victory over Japan, but there was no bravado visible in U.S. quar ters yet.
