Mantle Stars As Yankees Win Over White Sox By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Mickey Mantle’s homer wasn’t quite out of this world and the Chicago White Sok aren’t quite out of the American League pennant race—but both points seem academic today in the wake of the New York Y«n k e e slugger's "greatest day in baseball.’’ In a one-man show that rivaled anything ever accomplished by Babe Ruth himself, Mantie virtually single-handedly took the White Sox apart Tuesday night in a 10-6 victory that sent the Yankees 5% games ahead el the American League's sole remaining "contender.” j "I'd have to say it was my greatest day in baseball,” the 25year old slugger admitted. "At least. I can’t remember a better one.” First, there was the thrill of Mickey’s 465 - foot homer in the third inning that came close to being the first fair ball ever hit out of Yankee Stadium. The White Sox, out-gunned but dead game, battled back to go ahead, 64, in the sixth inning only to have Mantie deliver a triple with the bases filled, highlighting a five - run seventh - inning uprising that sent the world champions in front, 9-6. In all, the Yankee slugger hit for the cyclesingle, double, triple and homer—for the first time in his big league career, took over the batting lead (.367) and the runs-batted-in lead (89) and moved to within one of Ted Williams in the homer race with a total of 26. Di tin ar Gate Win Mantie hit his super homer batting left-handed against right-han-der Bob Keegan and blasted his game-winning triple batting righthanded against left -hander Jack Harshman, who was tagged with his fifth defeat. Art Ditmar, third of four Yankee pitchers, was credited with his seventh win although Bob Grim shut out the White Sox for the last two innings. Frank Sullivan scattered 10 hits to pitch the Boston Red Sox to a 1-0 victory over the Kansas City Athletic and Billy Hoeft won his third decision as the Detroit Tigers whipped the Baltimore Orioles, 5-2. in other AL games. Cleveland at Washington was rained out. The Red Sox scored the only run of their game in .the* .fourth, inning when Jaekie Jensen Singled, went to third on Joe DeMaestri’s error and tallied on Billy Console's single Sullivan struck out nine Athletics as he gained his ninth victory. Virgil Trucks suffered his fourth defeat. Bill Tuttle and Ray Boone had a double and two singles each to lead the tigers' nine-hit assault on four Baltimore pitchers. Hoeft yielded seven hits in 8 2-3 innings before Harry Byrd came in to retire the last batter. Braves Keep NL Lead The Milwaukee Braves retained their one-game lead in the feverish National League scramble when Bob Buhl’s two-hitter gave them a 1-0 decision over the stumbling Philadelphia Phillies. The Brooklyn Dodgers beat the St. Louis'Cardinals, 1-0; the Pittsburgh Pirates downed the Cincinnati Redlegs. 6-3, in 15 innings; and the Chicago Cubs blanked the New York Giants, 4-0, in the other NL games. Johnny Logan tripled home Del Crandall in the second inning for the only run Buhl needed to notch his 11th win and second shutout. Milwaukee’s Red Schoendienst singled in the eighth inning to run his batting streas to 20 games but Hank Aaron, back in action after five games, went hitless. Johnny Podres pitched a fivehitter to gain his fifth shutout and eighth victory for the Dodgers, who scored the game’a only run • in the second inning on reserve catcher Rube Walker’s basesfilled single. Stan Musial singled in the first inning for the 2,900th hit of his career. Bob Skinner hit two homers to drive in three runs in the first 12 innings and then touched off the Pirates three-run 15th with a single to help Vernon Law win his third game in seven days and seventh of the year. Brooks Lawrence suffered his sixth loss after the Redlegs tied the score twice on ninth and 12th inning homers by George Crowe and Jerry Lynch Rookie Dick Drott struck out 14 W in his ninth game for Qte Cubs, who dealt the Giants u»eir si atn loss in seven games.

Sports Probe Turns To Pro Football WASHINGTON (UP)—The czar ot professional football said today the sport may be "doomed” unless Congress acts to exempt some of its key features from anti-trust laws. Bert Bell, commissioner of the National Football League, proposed a four-point plan of exemption from a Supreme Court edict subjecting pro football to anti-trust regulation. Bell said in testimony prepared for delivery to a House anti-trust subcommittee that the Feb. 25 court ruling jeopardizes “the four essentials which in our judgement are necessary to the continuance bf professional football as it is conducted today:” The player “draft” system; The reserve clause; The commissioner’s powers to govern the game; and territorial rights of teams. He asked Congress ,to pass a law exempting the four from antitrust regulation. “If any of these should now be held by the courts to be an un- ’ reasonable restraint of trade, or--1 ganized professional football, the highly competitive and colorful ’ sport that we know today, would I come to an end,” Bell said. "It would Inevitably revert to i its former state when four top I clubs won most of the games and the public refused to support the , poor teams which were unable to • acquire good players, irrespective of offers of larger salaries.” Bell was the initial witness as t the subcommittee turned from , professional baseball to football.
