YANKEE HEHOS A beaming Mickey

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

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

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.

ground ball on Sunday. Ditmar, the Yan

went all the way for his fifth straight vic

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

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

extra base hit with a spec
