Mickey Mantle Well Ahead Os Ruth's Pace By FRED DOWN (United Prese Sports Writer) Mickey Mantle went 18 games ahead of Babe Ruth’s record home run pace today in what ia now the greatest assault any player ever has made on the mark. Mantle connected twice in the New- York Yankees’ 44 victory over the Detroit Tigers Wednesday night to increase his total to 27 in 60 games. Ruth didn’t hit No. 27 until the Yankees’ game in 1927. Because Ruth closed that season with 17 homers in September it is not too unusual for a player "to be ahead of Babe’s pace" at this stage of the race. But Mantle’s current pace also is faster than the two sluggers who came closest tp the mark — Foxx had 29 homers at the end of June—a figure Mantle should easily to>p in the next 10 days—while Greenberg had hit "only" 24 on June 30, 1938. Both wound up with 58 homers. With Mantle exploding two drives into the center field stands at Detroit's Briggs Stadium, the Yankees equalled the current season high by rolling to their seventh straight victory. Johnny Kucks received credit for his ninth win although Whitey Ford took over in the eighth and finished up. Billy Hoeft suffered his fourth loss compared to eight triumphs. The Chicago White Sox remained 5% games behind the Yankees when they outslugged the Baltimore Orioles, 12-8, in a three-hour and 37-minute struggle. The White Sox overcame an early 4-0 deficit to slug seven Baltimore pitchers for 15 hits including a homer hy Larry Doby. It was the White Sox’ sixth triumph in seven games. Al Rosen singled home Bobby Avila in the 10th inning to give the Cleveland Indians a 5-4 edge over the Boston Red Sox, after Gene Woodling tied the score with an eighth-inning homer. Herb Score struck out 10 batters in six innings to reach the 100-mark for the season but relief pitcher Don Mossi was credited with the win. Tom Hurd was the losing pitcher. The Washington Senators scored three runs on only one hit in the eighth and ninth innings to beat the Kansas City,Athletics, 5-4. Connie Grob won His second gasne for theJSatatcx® Xvhild*Tr<yr Herriage suffered his sixth loss. In the National League, the Milwaukee Braves remained unbeaten under Fred Haney and took over first place when they beat the Pittsburgh Pirates. 7-3. Gene Conley went the route for the first time as the Braves scored their fifth straight win. It was the fifth straight defeat for the Pirates and dropped them into fifth place. Milwaukee's road record now ia 16-10 for .615. The Cincinnati tßedlegs, 11-14 on the road, dropped out of first place

when they were beaten, 3-2, by Curt Simmons and the Philadelphia Phillies. Simmons struck out seven in winning his third game of the season. Sun LopaU’s 12th homer of the year gave him his margin of victory. Carl Furillo’s two-run single climaxed a three-run third-winning rally that enabled the Brooklyn Dodgers to beat Vinegar Bend Mizell and the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-2. Roger Craig received credit for the first win of his career over the *Redbirds although Clem Labine finished up. Hank Thompson’s three-run homer and Al Worthington’s fivebit pitching gave the New* York Giants a 4-1 verdict over the Chicago Cubs. Worthington struck out six and walked only one tq outpitch Don Kaiser, who hasn’t won since he made his debut with a two-hitter against the Dodgers on June 2.

Middlecoff, Kroll Favorites In Meet PHILADELPHIA, June 21 (UP) —Cary Middlecoff and Ted Kroll were the hot guns today in a field of 133 which teed off in the Philadephia Daily News $20,000 second annual golf tourannient. Middlecoff, twice winner of the U.S. Open, was the No. one guy in a field that included most of the great, including Jimmy Demaret. Tommy Bolt, Frank Stranahan, Arnold Palmer, Dow Finsterwald, Vic Ghezai, Bob Toski, Jim Turnesa, Daug Ford, who tied for first place last year, and a host of newcomers. Kroll rated highly because he won the meet last year. Ktoll, Stranahan and Turnesa were the first threesmoe to tee off at B:4g a.m. EDBT. The top prize money was $4,000, a tidy Incentive to break the 272 par for 72 holes over the 6.243 yard Cobbs Creek Course. The tricky course beat back the par. schooters last year when Kroll and Ford tied at 273, with Doug Higgins one stroke behind. Kroll won the sudden death playoff at the second hole.

PAGE SEVEN

Preliminary swings around the course for the past two days found the pros guessing that two under par, a 270 score which eluded a field of 138 a year ago,.could win. Middlecoff, the Tennessee dentist, was the ope who said 270 was the score to aim for, and that probably 269 ciould saw it up tight. The subpar was set by the condition of the course. It is unrer the supervision o's George Fano. who tied with Ben Hogan and Demaret for the Open Title in 1960 in his role as a Fairmont Park supervisor, and the vote was that the job was well done. Last year there was trouble on three greens, the result of the late August flash floods which swept ( over the bank of the small creek going in and out of the park woodlands. Now the greens are in top condition to challenge good golf. The tournament runs through Sunday, with the field out after the opening rounds. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur.
