Mantle Paces Yanks To Win Over Red Sox By UNITED PRESS They'still speak in'almost revi erent tones of Babe Ruth'and Joe DiMaggio in Yankee Stadium and no fresh 20-year-old kid will ever replace the memory of their exploits, but Mickey Mantle today stood as potentially greater than either of them. , Not that he’ll hit the home runs of the Babe or field with the grace of DiMag or perhaps deliver in the clutch like Joltin’ Joe. ilut already hailing him as the greatest power s’w itch-hit ter of all time. Already he has hit some of the longest homers on record e.round the American league and particu-1 larly in the Stadium — botn, to - right and left fields. J Monday night, swinging from \ the left he delivered two homers , in a single game for the first time In his meteoric major league lifetime. The blasts provided Allie Reynolds with all the help he needed to beat the Red Sox 7 toO. As Re/aolds spun a two-hitter against the Red Sox who haven’t — scored on ’him in Yankee Stadium in. two years. Mantle delivered his first homer in the first inning — right at the foul pole. The Red Sox protested it was a foul ball, but they had nothing but grudging admiration for the second smash. It weiit to the back pf the right field bull pen on the fly, 450 feet\ at least. Reynolds, who struck out seven but walked eight, gained his 14th victory and his fifth shutout and the Yankees went in ffont by 2% games once more. The second place Indians were rained out of their gamp with Detroit, while the Senators topped the Athletics 6 to 5 with an unearned run in the ninth inning, then dropped the second game 2 to 1 as lefty Alex Kellner pitched seyen-hit ball to gain his ninth victory. The Bfowns and White Sox alSo were rained out. In the National league, the Dock gers took their biggeajjead of the season, moving nine full games ahead of the’Giants by splitting jwlHi the Phils w’hile New York lost a pair to Boston 11 to 10 and 4 to ■ 2.

Julius Boros Takes Goli’s Richest Meet 'J CHICAGO, UP — “How lucky can one man get?” pro golfer Julius Boros asked today. “I win only twx> tournaments all year,” he added, “and they’re .the two bifc ones.” Boros won prestige in June when 'Ae-'came home in front in the national open tourney at« Dallas, but Monday he picked up cold cash qn a down payment and dividend plan when he whipped Dr. Cary Middlecoff,’ ex-Memphis dentist, by two strokes to win Tam O’Shanter’s |75,000 “World” tournament. Boros, a Connecticut Yankee now playing out of Mid Pines, N. C., actually didn’t take home the entire $25,000 first prize, since he and Middlecoff in a pre-match deal agreed to split the profit, including the $12,500 second prize, evenly after provision for taxes. To add to this $37,000 melon, they received half of the gate receipts, $2.00 per head from about 2,500 spectators. But Boros, who shot a four-un-der-par with a Garrison finish on\ the last five holes, gained a cushion for Tiis 1953 tourney swing, too. He wfas credited with the entire S2S,GQO first prize to increase his 1952 earnings to $34,332.97 and virtually guarantee him top ranking as money winner this year, an honor which pays off in appearance money at $250 per tourna-
