Yankees Open Series Today With Indians NEW YORK (INS) — The next three days will tell whether the New Ybtk Yankees are living on borrowed time or will run away with the American League pennant. The Yankees' irresistable force of Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Hank Bauer, etc., will meet immovable objects like Cleveland's Early Wynn. Herb Score and Bob Lemon in a three-game series at Yankee Stadium, the first 1956 meeting of the league's top clubs. ‘‘We’ve seen them all except Cleveland. 1 see no reason for getting afraid now," comments Yankee manager Casey Stengel. His team has already won six of seven games against the other two ,’hief pontenfiers, Boston and Chicago. for an over-all 13-5 mark and three-game lead over the Indians. But the Yankees, who are amazing the circuit with their horrendous hitting and powder-puff pitching, now meet a team that beat them 13 out of 22 games last year to become, the only club to win a season series from the Yanks dnee Casey took over eight years ago. -■■■ The Bombers had only one .300 1 hitter against baseball's top pitching staff last year. Gil McDougald (.304), while Mantle. Berra and Bill Skowron were held to rtenpecI tive .203; 253 and .235 marks by the Tribe. It took a Cleveland collapse against Detroit actually to make tthamps of the 1955 Yankees. Stengel will lead with southpaw Tommy Byrne. But after that, he will keep his fingers crossed with ■ Whitey Ford and Mickey McDermott while looking to his power. Mantle leads the league with a .424 batting average, tops the majors with 23 runs batted in and is tied ofr most homeruns, nine, with - Wally Post of Cincinnati— all this despite a chronic muscle pull that makes him a day-tp-day risk. - Berra, hitting .348. has rapped eight homers and his 22 RBl's are second best in the majors. Bauer, despite a misleading .225 average, has smashed six homers with 15 RBl’s. The Yankees rested up Monday but Cleveland took It on the chin. 5 to 1, at Boston on the four-hit pitching of Tom Brewer. Baltimore beat Detroit, 4 to 3. and the only other At, gaipe. Kansas City at Washington, was rained out. Milwaukee made it seven wins in ten starts with a 3-to-l decision over Brooklyn. And St. Louis tied Cincinnati for second place behind the Braves with a 6-to-3 win over the Giants. The rest of the National League was idle. In beating Cleveland. Brewer . struck out nine, walked three. He now has allowed just 14 hits and three earned runs in 34 innings, his lone loss in four decisions coming against the Yankees. The Red Sox. meanwhile, blasted Mike Garcia and two relievers for 14 hits, including homeruns by

Dick Gemert and The* deciding tally the fourth when Don Buddin doubled and Billy Goodman tripled. Baltimore's victory was the Orioles' third straight over the Tigers and went to George Zuverink, who threw only two pitches in the ninth inning when he relieved Bill Wight for his 12th appearance in the Birds' 20 games. Monmouth Schedules Pony League Tryouts The Monmouth Pony league team will have another tryout session at the Monmouth school Wednesday afternoon at 5 o’clock. All boys eligible for the Monmouth Pony League team are asked to be present.
