PKTIOHSIHIRG, Fla. (API Mickey Mantle doesn't expect to be any more popular with New York fans even if he fulfills his ambition this year ol hittins .350 and leading the American League in runs batted in. The Yankee slugger made this (urprising statement Friday after taking a $7,000 pay cut in signing lor .5,000. The 211-year-old center field star flew info town from his Dallas home Thursday night and came lo terms with General Man ager George Weiss Friday morn ing alter a two-minute conference The popularity angle was in jected by Weiss, who expressed (he hope that Mantle has a big year in I960 so dial Mickey could, in addition to helping the team win the pennant, regain his popularity with the Yankee Stadium lans. "I'd like him lo he popular again," Weiss said. "1 think the public is ready lo come back In his side. I thought they ithe fans' were for a while last year but he went bad and the boos got louder. It wouldn't take (00 much for the public to like him again." Mantle didn't seem loo con cerned. "I didn't know 1 was ever pop ular," he said. "I had a couple Zack Taylor Recalls SL Browns1 Midget ORLANDO, Kla. (AIM "Man aging any midscts laii'ly?"

"When 1 was with the (...ints," Zack bey an, "wc used to sit around the hotel lobby niyht.s lis tening lo the boss. John McGraw always t n.s " scheming up new ways to win. One time he came up with the idea that it miht not be bad lo carry a little lellow around0and send him up to bat to get a base on balls if the score was tied in the ninth. "I never forgot what MKiraw said. So when V'eock (ffill Vecck, owner of the Browns in 1951. now president of the Chicago White Sox susscstcd hiring a little fel low, I told him whafc McC.pv had said years before. Veeck yoi on the phone to Chicago right away and checked up to find there o wasn't any rule against it." In a few days Veeck hired Ed die Gardel. a midget, and intro duced him to (he fans at the old Sportsman's Park between games of a doubleheadcr with lffiroit. "We (jot Detroit out in their half of the first i n n i n g," said Zack. "Frank Saucier was our leadnff man but I sent up the midget to hit for him. "Red Rulfe (Detroit manager' hit the ceiling.

Mickey didn't appear overjoyed at his signing, which was inter preted in some quarters as more ol a capitulation. Told that Weiss had termed his pay cut as a com promise, Mantle looked up in sur prise. "Compromise, eh'.'" he said. "I took a pretty good cut, I'll tell you that." Neither Mantle nor Weiss would disclose the figures, but it was learned authoritatively that Mick ey's aclual salary last year was $72.noo. He returned the first con tract last February calling for SM.OOO, which represented a $17, 000 reduction, just short of the maximum 25 per cent. He also ignored a second olfer calling for $00,000. Manager Casey Stengel, obvious ly relieved to see Mantle in uni form, said: 'There are times when Mantle has a good day that you don't need any other players When he's hot, the Yankees are not a cold club." Last year Mantle ballad only .285, hit 111 home runs and drove in only 75 runs. The Yankees fin ished third. be trouble so I was prepared 'What do you mean'." I said to Hurley. 'We just signed up a new player and here is the contract.' "I rejiehod in my hack pocket and showed him the papers, loyal as could be. They had to let him hit." Hob Swift, new Washington coach, had been listening. "I was catching," he said. "Hob Cain was our pitcher. He wanted to throw underhand but I told him he couldn't because the fellow had signed a legitimate contract and he had to pitch legal. 1 was go ing to catch lying down with one hand propped under my chin but 1 decided the thing had gone far enough," "The little fellow was so scared I had to help him tic his shoes said Taylor. "Naturally, he was afraid he might get hit. I told him not to worry he wouldn't get hurl." "Cain couldn't got the hall over," said Swift. "Me threw four pitches and walked him.

Moro 60 Yreka Tops Loggers, Durham Five Victor (Continued from Page 1-C) A pair of impressive brother acts and a strong team effort in the semifinal round Friday set the stage for the championship con test in Yreka Saturday night. The Durham Trojans, sparked by Wes and Dave Walsuich and Mike and Tom Orr, eked out a 48-46 win over Highlands of Sacramento in the Friday nightcap after the host Yreka Miners had waxed Eureka 73-50. The brothers Walsuich, a pair of 6-2 scrappers, collected 23 points between them and the Prrs added 19 in the Durham-Highlands has sle. A stiff defensive battle most of the way. the contest went right down to the wire. The winners came within an ace of blowing a seven-point lead in the closing sec onds of the game but Mike Orr decided the test when he was fouled and came up with a suc cessful free toss with two seconds left on the clock. The Yrekans showed their true potential after breaking even with the tall Eureka club for most of the first half. At the close of the first period the teams were at a 16-16 standoff, but, before the half was over they moved away to a 40-1 lead and had little trouble padding the bulge over the rest of the route. In consolation action Friday For- luna whipped Del Norte 56-48 and Enterprise of Redding tripped Yuba City 51-44.

Due to circumstances beyoad the control of tournament and team officials the fort Yates and Neah Bay Indian clubs will not be able to participate in this, the seventh annual affajr sponsored by the Chiloquin Jaycees. Invited at the oretically the last moment were the 'I'hunderbirds and LaConner, Washington. Both clubs have ap peared in previous tournaments. Because of the late date of the announcement that the two teams would be unable to appear, the tournament bracket shown above is in error.

Three quick buckets within sec onds brought them close, but not quite close enough. Highlands Bob Oliver was the game high scorer with 17 and Dave Walsuich hit 14 for the win ners. Big Bill Wilson, a 6-6 Miner, named to just about everyone's all- everylhing, shredded the net for a total of 27 points, many of which resulted from some brilliant floor work on the part of guard Gary Gresham. Wilson was overshad owed, height-wise only, by a pair of Eurekans. John Murray, a 6-8 junior, was held lo only eight points and teammate senior Tom Tipton, also 6-8. garnered only five off the stingy Miner defense.

The tourney gets underway Wed nesday at 1:30 p.m. when the Klamath Nation All-Stars square off against Pine Ridge. The Klam ath Nation quint was entered in last year's tournament as the Chi loquin Thunderbirds. The new name was adopted at the outset of the present season. Today's Thunderbird crew also includes a number of tourney vet erans. some of whom played on the Chiloquin Townie squad which won the championship in 1954 in the inaugural tournament competi tion.

The same year Pretty Weasel and his mates amassed the highest team single game total. 122 points which they notched against the missing Neah Bay squad.

PLAY IN HAVANA MONTREAL UPI - Harry Simmons, secretary of the Inter national Baseball League, said Friday "there is no question but that all the league's teams will play in Havana" this year. Some reports questioned whether teams might fear to go there because of the Cuban political situation. Yank Hot Corner In fact. Gil is Yankee trade bait and will most likely go to Wash ington if the Y anks can swing a deal for a pitcher. Hector Lopez, a strong hitter and a big RBI threat, could have the third base job if he could field, but Stengel seems set on going with Lopez in the outfield, Berra agrees. "I've seen worse out there." he said the other day when Lopez worked in center field during the sence of Mantle.
