Mickey Mantle Leads Yankees To Win Friday NEWYORK (INS) —Like the lit- • tie girl in the nursery rhyme, when Mickey Mantle is good, he j is very, very good, and when he is bad, well. , . « But the New York Yankees' prodigy had one of his good days ' - Tn fact, his best - Friday, thanks to a couple of borrowed ' bats. 1 Mickey, who had been in a slump 1 that had whittled his average down ' to an anemic .256. decided any 1 thing.might help. So he picked out ' a bat left behind by Enos Slaughter when he was traded to Kansas City and another belonging to ail- • ing first baseman Bill Skowron. ■ And all the 23 year old center ' fielder did was to bang out three - homers and a single, driving in all • the Yankee runs as’they defeated 1 Detroit, 5 to 2. The victory gave ■ the Yanks a full game adge ovSr • the Tigers in their .tight for third place in the American League. Mantle hit. his first two home runs batting lefthanded against Derun with a third - inning single, ed his second loss against five wins. The first cariie with one - aboard in the first. TUte second, 1 after he had knocked in another > run with a thrird - Inning siiigle, r came in the fifth and traveled 430 : feet. • Then with lefty/Bob M«ler on t the mound, Mip&ey Sotked° his ■ third homer from the right side • in the eighth. That made him the ' first American Leaguer on record • to switch-hit homers in the same i game. It has happened twice in the I National, Red Schoendienst of St. > Louis doing it in 1951 and Jim I Russell of Brooklyn in 1950. Whitey Ford achieved his fourth > mound win. although he had to re- ; tire after the seventh inning beI cause of a blistered finger. He ali lowed three hits, including a twol run homer by Ray Boone. • The Boston Red Sox. with Ted t Williams back in the fold but not i yet ready for action, replaced Kah- ■ sas City in sixth place when a , ninth inning run gave them a 4 to ? i decision over the Athletics. The night game was twice held up by ■ rain and Ellis Kinder, who re- : placed starter Willard Nixon as- ■ ter the second delay-in the eighth . inning, was the winner. .• - Cleveland was rained out at Washingtan. as was Chicago at Baltimore. In the National League, too. only two games escaped the weather, Brooklyn ended its two game losing “streak” by unending Milwaukee, 6 to 2. Willie Mays’ tenth Inning homer-gore the New York Giants a 4 to 3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Philadelphia and Cincinnati took the day off because of wet grounds, while threatening skies postponed Pittsburgh's game at Chicago. The Dodgers played with Don Hoak at third base in place of Jackie Robinson at Jackie’s own request. In contrast to his spring training rhubarb when he was playing regularly, Robinson, asked Manager Walter Alston to rest him • and his .244 batting mark. .WEST NATIONS (Continued from Page One) 1 Russians to give up all former German assets in Austria at least 30 days before the occupation troops withdraw.

’ ■ Qualifying Trials Open At Speedway INDIANAPOLIS (INS) Quallfica tion records were expected to be shattered today aa qualifications for the 39th annual ndianapolis Motor Speedway 50® mile auto race got a green flag from the weather man. A day long rain washed out Fri- ! day’s practice sessions and an earlier forecast' called for rain , today. But later developments left the track with ideal conditions of slight overcast, little wind and no ; rain. A dozen drivers are set for the four lap, 10 mile, qualifying runs ' today. Drivers for the other 45 ‘ cars seeking one of the 33 posi- ' tions in the May 30th race field watched today’s qualifiers for a clue to the speed that will be 1 needed. Then' they can try Sunday or May 21, 22 to break into the race. Both the one lap record of 141.287 . in ph and four lap record of 141.033 . mph Jack McGrath, of Inglewood, , Calif., set in winning the pole last , year are expected to fall. I McGrath, in fact, predicted he will erase both those marks. u ; Bilyl Vukovich, of Fresno. Calify ’ also is scheduled to try for Hie pole position from which he won ; the 1953 classic. Mechanical trou- ' ble held Vuky up until the third day of qualifications last year and ’ he had to come out of l|fh position to win his second straight. j . The .“Mad Russian” is seeking an unpredicted third straight t victory and has said he will back , his car up to the starting line for , today’s qualifying runs. He turned , a practice lap at 141.2 mph, Thursl day. , Another ready to try for one of > the, three front row spots is Jim Bryan, of Fhoenij. who fin- ! ished second tqOvukovich fry the 1954 chase. Just ahead of McGrath. i Most speculation surrounded . Troy Ruttman. of Houston, Tex., . who won the 1952 race after Viiko- . vich crashed in the 191st lap. Rutt- . man is driving the powerful Novi, which has claimed three drivers’ I lives in the past. Ruttman has been coaxing the . eight cylinder power plant along l but has been easing it upward ; gradually and is expected to try > for the records today without ever having had it wide open. In practice. Predictions of the speed that will be necessary to win the pole position have ranged up to 144 mph and most mechanics and drivers indicate they believe a speed of 140 mph will be necgssary to get Into^the^paeeT^^ Wininger And Ford Lead Golf Tourney HOT-SPRINGS, Ark.
