Mantle Blasts Record Homer As Yanks Win By TONY GALLI NEW YORK (INS) —, . . And now the pitchy holds the ball, and now he lets it go, “ And now the air is shattered by the force of Mickey’s blow. Deep tb center screams the ball, where none is seen to stray, and only for the ninth row is it not still on the way. It the great Babe Ruth, Lou , Gqhrig~. or cJoe.,. DiMwgio ever belted them farther than Mantle's 486 foot homerun in Yankee Stadium Tuesday night, they were never taped. The Herculean blow which awed a crowd of 14,932 watching the Yankees' 6-2 win over Kansas City is believed to be .the most distant ever slugged in the park since it was built in 1923. Veteran observers agreed that shots to the same area by Gehrig, Larry Doby and Hank .Greenberg fell short of Mickey's drive as did a homer into the extreme right field box of the upper deck by Jimmy Foxx. . While a new stadium standard, the 23 year old Oklahoma’s 17th homer-still the league high, inci-dentally-rates only third or fourth in Mickey's collection of long ones Casey Stengel's centerfielder astounded the baseball w-orld on US... over the lofty scoreboard atop the high leftfield bleachers in Griffith Stadium. The ball sailed 565 feet before going to the baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. He since has boomed a couple of sOOtObteis in St. Louis Sportsman’s Park. Mantle’s record swing at southpaw Alex Kellner's first pitch with two out in the first inning almost was washed out of the record books as a sudden electrical storm halted play for 47 minutes in the third inning. The Bombers returned, however, to bang four KC pitcherg for 12 hits, including three singles by Billy Hunter and a two run triple by Gil McDougald, and preserve their two game lead over Chicago. While registering his fifth win. Tommy Byrrie held the A s to six hits, one a Bill Wison homer. The White Sox, meanwhile, stopped Washington, 6-1. Virgil Trucks allowed six hits, including a Roy Sievers homer, Jn chalking up hit, sixth straight win. Cleveland dumped Baltimore, 31, and Boston rallied to down Detroit, 5-4. Bob Lemon won his 10th for the Indians although forced to retire In the wheat he injured his left thigh running out a ground ball. Jim Wilson permitted just six safeties but the telling one was Al Smith's two run homer. Ted Williams gave the eurging ifed Sox their 12th win in the last. 14 games when he rapped Ned Garver with a three run homer in the eighth inning. The victory. Tommy Hurd's, pulled Boston up to the .500 maik for the first time since April 30 and left the Sox twoj gamjs back of the fourth place Tigers. In the National League, .the world champion New York Giants dropped 16% games behind Brooklyn and to within a game of fifth place when they were beaten., 101. by Cincinnati. The Dodgers had upped their lead to 12 gaiuca over

White Sox And Yanks Win In Little League An extra-inning battle and a wild runaway marked games in the Decatur Little League Tuesday night at Worthman field. Th* White Sox edged the Senators, 9-8, in the opened, which required seven innings for decision. The Senators scored four runs in the first inning but the White Sox tallied six in the fourth to take the lead.
