Howard, Mantle, Apply Punch As Yanks, Dodgers Widen Gaps By FRED DOWN UPI Spoilt Writer And so,' after all, it looks like muscle will be the de cisive factor in the major league pennant races. And you couldn't find two fellows better fitted for that decisive role than man-mountain Frank Howard of the Los Angeles Dodgers and nature boy Mickey Mantle of the New York Yankees. Howard and Mantle struck the big blows - homers, natch Wednesday night when the Dodgers increased their Na tional league lead to 1 hi games and the Yankees open ed up a five-game lead in the American league. Howard's homer brought the Dodgers a 1-0 victory over the Houston Colts while Mantle's homer produced a 5-2 Yankee win over the Cleveland Indians. It was a bad night for the pursuing Los Angeles Angels and Minnesota Twins in the American league and the pant ing San Francisco Giants in the National league. ' The Kansas City Athletics scored a 4-1 victory over the Angels, the Chicago White Sox defeated the Twins, 2-1, In 12 innings and the Cincin nati Reds beat the Giants, 4-1. The Milwaukee Braves downed the Philadelphia Phillies, 9-0, Tom Cheney struck out 21 batters to set a record for a game of any dura tion in the Washington Sena tors' 2-1, 16-inning triumph over the Baltimore Orioles, and the Boston Red Sox whipped the Detroit Tigers, 8-6 and 6-2, in the other major league action. Puts Yanks Ahead Mantle's 27th homer of the season came off Pedro Ramos in the fifth inning and put the Yankees ahead, 4-2, after the Indians gained a temporary edge on Chuck Essegian's two run homer. Whitey Ford pitch ed a six-hitter and struck out five to win his 16th game for the Yankees. Howard's homer, also his 27th, came after Houston's Ken Johnson had retired the first 13 Dodgers in order. It was a 450-foot clout that was perhaps the longest ever hit in the Houston park and it stood up for the win behind the combined nine-hit pitching of Pete Richert, Ed Roebuck and Ron Perranoski. The win went to Roebuck, making his season record 10-0. Orlando Pena wielded the Jxe against'the Angels with a four-hitter for his fourth win. Pena shut out. the An gels until the ninth when Lee Thomas homered. Pena sin gled in a run against Bo Bel insky in the fifth inning and Ed Charles hit a key triple in the eighth.

Nelson Fox had four hits for the White Sox while Pascual doubled and scored Minnesota's run on a single by Lennie Green. Frank Robinson hit his 37th and 38th homers and Wally Post also homered as the Reds ended the Giants' seven-game winning streak. Jim Maloney, who pitched the last 4 23 in nings after Joey Jay suffered an injury to his pitching hand, received credit for his ninth win. Fourteen - game winner Billy Pierce suffered his sixth loss. Denny Lemaster pitched a six-hitter, fanning eight and walking five, and also had a Strikeout Record Set By Cheney Baltimore -(UPD A beer, a cigarette and his right arm rubbed down with ice were the immediate rewards for balding Tom Cheney after his record-breaking feat of strik ing out 21 Baltimore Orioles i n 16 innings Wednesday night. Feeling a little stiff but "not particularly tired," Che ney's explanation for all those strikeouts was, "I got my curve ball over consistently for the first time all year." Toss in 15 knucklers, an oc casional screwball, live fast balls and unusually wide breaking sliders and you've got the repertoire that led the 27-year-old Washington Sena tors' righthander to an all time strikeout record for major league games of any duration.

Ohio (UPI The itatus of centerfielder Willie Mays of the San Francisco Giants was in doubt today following a night spent in Christ hospital here after an attack of indigestion. Cincinnati - IUPII - The San Francisco Giants and the Cin cinnati Reds collided Wednes day night in a crucial game for both teams and both still are reeling from the force of the blow. San Francisco lost the game, 4-1, to drop a game and a half behind the league leading Los Angeles Dodgers, and also lost the services of Willie Mays, who collapsed from an apparent attack of indigestion. The price of victory for the Reds was great, for they lost ace righthander Joey Jay for an Indefinite period of time. Jay was struck on the pitch ing hand by a line drive from the bat of Chuck Hiller in the fifth inning. Mays was carried off on a stretcher after fainting in the dugout as the Giants batted in the top of the third. The All-Star center - fielder re gained consciousness in the clubhouse.

With 17 lettermen return ing from the 1961 Red Raider eleven which won the Oregon Collegiate conference cham pionship, veteran coach Al Akins has good reason to be optimistic. "We may have lost 13 play ers from last year's squad but I still must say that this year we will be belter," Akins ex claimed. Monday's first turnout of Raider candidates numbered 47. Aside from the 17 return ing lettermen, included were a number of big freshmen and transfers. Also in that initial group were three lettermen from two years ago, plus all-con ference Bud Brittsan from the 1957-58 Raider teams. The three from the 1960 squad were tackles Neil Green, 230, and Ron Baker, 195, and line backer Punk Biddington, 220. These, plus freshmen Butch Elliott, 230, from Roseburg, fullback Skip Bennett from Medford, 215 -pound guard Jim Crush and fullback Den ny Ellis from Creswell also were in uniform. The complete back field from the last two seasons also is back this fall. It includes junior quarterback Doug Ol- sen, senior halfbacks Doyle Bransom and Kerm Bennett and senior fullback Al (the Horse) Barnes. Olsen's two favorite pass ing targets, Howard Hartman and Dave Hughes, also have returned at the end positions along with sophomore tackle Glen Moses and his brother, George, at center, and sopho more guard Larry Ryerson. From the defensive unit are middle linebacker John Buck and end Jess Munyon, both all-conference selections in 1961. Others are guard Glenn Vandergaw, tackle Ken UO Reinstates Glenn Moore Eugene -flJPD- Glenn Moore, star center on the 1960-61 University of Oregon basket ball team, will be on hand for the 1962-63 season, the school said today.

Medford Polishes For Tilt; Barnes Has Broken Nose "We've Just been polishing up our attack and getting all phases of the game down," re ported Head Coach Fred Spie- gelberg concerning drills this week of the Medford High school football team. The Black Tornado goes to The Dalles on Friday to open its slate. The head man, however, termed workouts "so-so" and "hit and miss." Medford suffered an open ing game blow yesterday when Mike Barnes, right half back, sustained a broken nose on the first practice scrim mage play. He is lost for the game at The Dalles, Spiegel berg said. Buettner Hurt Also possibly out of the first encounter is Bill Buettner, right guard. He pulled a neck muscle in Monday practice. Ron Edmonds, regarded a good steady player, likely will take over at the right half. Also at the post are Jerry Stratton and Greg Gandee. Buettner's injury means, ac cording to Spiegelbcrg, that Jim Snodgrass may go "both ways for a while." Among those working at the position are Karol Ritchey and Don Coltrane. The fact that Dick Bottjer has had the flu could hurt defensively at the posi tion. Barnes, after having been hobbled by back trouble, had been coming along well before last night's mishap. INDIANS PREP The Dalles - The Dalles High school Indians were stressing defense and more pass offense this week as they got ready for the season foot ram Out of space flight comes the warmest, lightest protection pos sible.

They continued to work on fundamentals. Generally, Coach Ketith Tucker and his staff were not satisfied with defense in a squad game on Saturday eve ning. The scrimmage, primar ily, was offensive. Still gang tackling was reported fair. "I'm glad we had the scrim mage," Tucker remarked. "It helped us get rid of some of those pre-game jitters." Tucker and his aides got to gether last week end and di vided the squad into three units, blue, gold and white. Blue Crew On the No. 1, or blue, crew are Joe Lawrence, quarter back; Steve Cyphers, fullback; Mark Jensen, left halfback; Paul Dims, right halfback; Steve Lawrence, center; Bob Rooper and Jerry Command er, guards; Paul McCoy and Rick McReynolds, tackles; and Ron Rowland and Steve Huff, left end. Tucker said that the three units each will go offense and defense this season with only one change. Ken Jacoux of the gold crew will be at end on the blue defense with Ron Rowland going to linebacker. It was not reported which blue player is sidelined when his unit is on defense. Two players who saw duty against Medford last season were not "invited" out by In dian coaches this fall. Said TD Chronicle Sports Editor Rod Geier, "They evidently prefer breaking training rules and don't care who knows it." - Street Floor m TORNADO HALFBACK-Jack Lowery, above, is a veteran left halfback for the Medford High football team which opens its season on Friday at The Dalles.

Still he says, "We will be pretty green this year. I have several seniors, but they haven't had much experience. We will depend largely on juniors and seniors." The lettermen are Mike Beymer, Elton Schiro and Joe Kerns, ends; Charlie Thompson and Leo Huff, tackles; John Riggs, Don Ber ry and Gary Fuller, guards; Don Breithaupt, center; Earl Allbritton and Steve Rand, quarterbacks; Steve Reiling, halfback, and Bill Fisher, fullback. Fights for Life Jim Sclkregg, a promising junior speedster, suffered a fractured vertabrae. Weber, in an earlier report, said that the injury was not considered serious.

The youth is at Travis Air Force base hos pital, not only facing the possibility of having a per manent injury but fighting for his life. Weber told the Klamath Falls Herald and News that he was pleased with several non-lettermen and transfers who will add depth to the squad.
