Mantle Says NY Fans
Still Won't Like Him
ST. 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

up with the idea that it miht not

"I never forgot what MKiraw

Mickey didn't appear overjoyed
at his signing, which was inter

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

$72.noo. He returned the first con
tract last February calling for

maximum 25 per cent. He also
ignored a second olfer calling for
$00,000.

Hob Swift, new Washington

"I was catching," he said. "Hob

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

T-Birds Given Spot
In All-Indian Classic
A pair of unexpected vacancies
in the entrant list for the coming
National All - Indian Invitational
Rasketball Tournament, which be
gins in Chiloquin Wednesday and
continues through Saturday night,
have resulted in the addition of
the Chiloquin 'i'hunderbirds to the
tourney roster.
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.
The Thunderbirds. a squad com
posed entirely of Klamath County
cagers, will fill in for Fort Y'ates

round on Wednesday. LaConner, in
taking over for Neah Bay, draws a
bye the first round then meets the
winner of the Warm Springs-Saint

was the seven points in the final
minute but that disappeared fast
when the Highlanders realized they
were just about out of the game.
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.
Hauling in number two scoring
honors for the day was Fortuna's
Don Jacobson who hit 20 markers
for the Huskies. Enterprise's Al

his Tom Sanders being ignored on

Rossini is one of those who
