Yankees Beat Orioles Twice To Take Lead NEW YORK (INS) —When the magnificent switcher meets the splinter in Boston tonight something’s gotta give. What it all means in plain talk is that the New York Yankees, once again a half game up front in the madcap American League race tangle with the Cinderella Boston Red Sox and young Mickey Mantle will pit his homeric talents against those of mighty Ted Williams. Mantle, 23-year-old Bomber center fielder, is making like the new Joe DiMaggio he’s supposed to be and all Williams is doing is thump Ing like he always did. it adds up to an assault on Fenway Park’s fences, pitchers for-both sides, and some hustling by the tape measure addicts. The Yankees moved anead of the idle Cleveland Indians Monday by sweeping a doubleheader from the lowly Baltimore Orioles, 5 to 4 and 12 to 6. It was the first Yankee trip to the summit since July 27. Hank Bauer's ninth inning homer won the opener and Mantle socked two homers, one lefty and one righty, to pave the way for their win in the second cutest. The blows were Mickey’s 28 and 29th of season, his highest total since he Joined the Yankees in IJM. ■Williams helped keep the fourth place Sox as ‘for real" contenders when he walloped the 13th grand slam homer of his career as the Bostonians topped the Washington Senators, 8 to 4. TTTe big guy tied* Clevelands Ralph Kiner as the active player with the most bases loaded smashes. . The all time record of 23 belongs to the late Lou Gehrig, first baseman supreme for the Yankees. The Sox go into their tell tale three games with Casey Stengel’s team 3ft games off the pace. In the only National League contest, the Milwaukee Braves blasted the St. 'Louis Cardinals, 12 to 1, behind Warren Spahn. The second placers shaved a half game oti Brooklyn's runaway lead and now trail by 15 lengths. The Yankees and Red Sox were both blessed with stellar relief per- ' forwances in their triumphs Monday. The Bombers, who have feasted . j<*n Birds 15 twhes fa 17 meetings got terrific bullpen assistance from rookie righthander i Johnny Kucks and last year's rookie of the year Bob Grim. Kucks. taking over for starter Bob Wiesler in the fifth when the Orioles scored four runs to tie the score at 4-4, yielded only two singles in four and two third innings to pick up his eighth win. Lefty Bob Wight went the distance and absorbed the loss for Baltimore. In the second game, (Gary Coleman, slender southpaw up from the Yankee Denver farm had to be rescued in the sixth by Grim, making his first appearance since June 14. Bob gave up a two run pinch double to Dave Pope but settled down to check the Orioles the rest , of the way? Mantle swatted his left handed homer off Ray Moore in the fourth. It was a three’ run shot. His right handed rofmd tripper came off Ari I SchaLock in the sixth inning. Mantle also hit left-riehty hem , ers against the Detroit Tigers last. May 13. Williams shared the Boston spot light with lefty Leo Kiely. Kiely took over for Mel Paine 1 in the j fourth inning after the Nats attackj ed he veteran for four runs, three | on a circuit by Roy Sievers. Kiely held the Senators to one hit and faced only 21 batters, one: over the minimum, in the 6 2-3 in-; nings he pitched. Williams’ homer, his 20th. climaxed a six run second inning against Ted Abernathy. Jim Pie:sail contributed a two run homer in the seventh off Chuck Stobbs. “MAJOR AMERICAN LEAGUE Club W. L. Pct.

Otto Graham May Return To Browns CLEVELAND (INS) —Otto Graham, who retired last year with the promise to return to the Cleveland Browns If they ever needed him “badly,” may be on the calling list of pro football champions’ coach. The all tiine great quarterback was brought very much into the picture Monday rookie Bobby Freeman, who was being groomed as Otto’s succesior, wabarred from playing in the National Football League this session. Federal Judge Paul Jones granted a temporary resirsining order against Freeman and center Jack Locklear at the ol_.the. Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League. Both players, -foimer standouts! at Auburn, signed contracts with I Winnipeg last January and a ! month later inked pacts with th I Browns. Freeman, who led Auburn to the “Gator Bowil las' ' year, returned .a $2,600 bonus he received from the Winnipeg club. The ruling bars both players from taking part in any practice or game during the 1955 season. Locklear previously had announced he was quitting football on advise from his physician. He reportedly had a heart condition. However, Freeman was being counted on heavily to aid George Ratterman in trying to fill Graham’s big shoes. His loss leaves coach Paul Brown with only one signal caller. Jtldge Jones' action gave birth to new .rumors that Graham might return. . . IWaesmt? nammiKm • WAITADS
