Indians Take Over Lead In Little League The Indians blasted out 16 hits, good for 17 runs, backing the onehit pitching of Dave Anderson, to grab sole possession of the Little League lead with a 17-0 victory over the Yankees Tuesday night. The Tigers, tied with the Indians before the Worthman Field twin Nil, dropped a 6-2 decision to the Senators, as left-handed Steve Baumann chucked a five-hitter.

Anderson went allthe way for the win, hurling a one-hitter for the second time this season. The right-hander fanned seven and walked five, permitting the only hit, a single by Doug Spaulding, in the third. Thieme led the hitting assault with three hits, two of them doubles, and Dave Hackman also added two doubles. Left-hander Baumann went all the way in the first game, permitting only five hits. He lost his shutout in the fourth when Tom Lose cracked a home run with Burger aboard. The Senators gave Baumann all the support he needed in the second Inning, counting three times on walks to Baumann and Jauregui, and doubles by Caciano and Hunter.

Mantle Homers Twice, Yanks Regain Lead By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International If you think Mickey Mantle’s hot, get a load of Bill White! Mantle put in a fair night’s work last night in blasting his 34th and 35th homers to lead the New York Yankees back into first place in the American League. But Mickey’s performance paled alongside that of White, who equalled Ty Cobb's major league record of 14 hits in two consecutive doubleheaders while pacing the St. Louis Cardinals to 8-3 and 7-5 victories over the Chicago Cubs. White, the 27-year-old first baseman of the Cardinals, began his record-tying feat with eight hits in 10 tries during a twi-night twin bill against the Cubs on Monday night. He added six more hits in eight trips last night with a home run and two singles in the opener and a double and two triples in the nightcap. Hits at '.778 Clip That gives White a .778 average fpr his last four games. He started his streak batting .289. Now he’s up to .317. Cobb set the record with the Detroit Tigers in doubleheaders on July 17 and July 19, 1912. As for Mantle, he drove in three of the Yankees’ runs last night in a 5-3 victory over the Washington Senators. Mantle’s 35 home runs tie him with teammate Roger Maris for the major league lead. Both are 18 games ahead of Babe Ruth’s record pace. Prior to last night’s game at Griffith Sfadium, Mantle, performing in a special home run hitting contest, hit a ball that struck the last row of the left field bleachers and bounced over. Mantle is the only man ever to hit a ball oyer those bleachers. Then when they got down to business, Mantle belted a two-run homer in the first inning and Another in the eighth that broke a 3-3 tie. Both blows came off rookie Joe McClain. Reliever Luis Arroyo was the winner. Only one other game was played in the National League besides the Cards - Cubs doubleheader. In it, the Milwaukee Braves handed Cincinnati its third straight defeat, 12-8, and cut the Reds’ lead to 3% games over the idle second-place Dodgers. Lew Burdette, pitching in relief, blanked the Reds on one hit over the last three innings to earn his 10th victory against six losses. The Braves pulled a double steal, a triple steal on which Hank Aaron scored, and collected 13 hits, including Eddie Mathews’ 21st homer. Orioles Bump Tigers In the American League, the Baltimore Orioles dropped the Detroit Tigers into second place with an 8-7 triumph in 10 innings, the Chicago White Sox beat the Kansas City Athletics, 4-3, the Boston Red Sox downed the Cleveland Indians, 9-2, and the Los Angeles Angels took over eighth place with a 4-1 decision over the Minnesota Twins. Jim Gentile’s 23rd home run in the 10th inning off Bill Fischer settled matters between the Orioles and Tigers after Baltimore had trailed 6-1 at one point. The Orioles tied the score with a sixrun rally in the seventh, during which Hank Foiles hit a two-run homer and Jackie Brandt connected with two on. Al Kaline and Rocky Colavito homered for the

The following year he moved to Danville of the Three-I League and was with Molihe of the same league in 1915. Cincinnati received draft rights to Eller ip 1917, and he spent the next five years with the National Leaguers, climaxed with a 19-9 record in 1919 when he pitched two World Series triumphs over the Chicago White Sox. the. year of the Black Sox scandal. Thai same year Eller also pitched a no-hitter against the St. Louis Cardinals. His six consecutive strikeouts against the White Sox still-stands as a World Series record. With Cincinnati from 1917 through 1921, Eller compiled a 60-40 won-lost record. He appeared in 163 games. Eller’s baseball career slowed in the early 1920 s when he was plagued by a sore arm, and he finished with the Indianapolis Indians in 1924 under Ownie Bush, now president of the American Association team. Following his baseball career, Eller spent more than 20 years as a member of the Indianapolis Police Department and retired in 1946. Survivors include the widow. Mrs. Ruth P. Eller, a daughter, Mrs Mary L. Thompson, and a son, Harry, both of Indianapolis, and three brothers. , Funeral services were incomplete. White Ties Record Sei By Ty Cobb ST. LOUIS (UPI) -r “The victories are the important things,'’ was St. Louis Cardinal first baseman Bill White’s reaction to his record-tying performance against the Chicago Cubs in doubleheaders Monday and Tuesday night. White banged out fourteen hits ip the doubleheaders to equal the late Ty Cobb’s mark for most hits in two consecutive twin bills. In Monday night’s games White slashed seven singles and a double in ten times at bat. Tuesday night he added two singles, two triples, a double and a home run in eight times at the plate. His hits Tuesday night came after two grueling three-hour ball games Monday that lasted until the early hours of the morning. “I didn’t have much sleep (Monday) night,” White said. “I only got about two hours.” His 14th hit came in the seventh inning of the nightcap with Chicago, when he bounced a double down the right field line. “I hit a sinker. I hit it good,’’-White said. Tigers. Knuckleballer Hoyt Wilhelm was credited with his seventh victory. Nellie Fox, back in the White Sox lineup after being benched for light hitting, tripled with two on in the seventh to sink the W’s. Juan Pizarro, frequently in hot water, went the distance for his sixth win even though he allowed 10 hits. With the bases full and two out in the ninth, Pizarro got pinch hitter Hank Bauer, Kansas City's player-manager, to fly out to end the game. Gerry Walker was the loser. Two home runs by Gary Geiger helped Red Sox rookie Don Schwall register his ninth victory ;ft the expense of the Indians. Geiger, who now has a total of 13 homers, drove in four runs for Boston. Both of his homers came off loser Jim (Mudcat) Grant. George Thomas and Lee Thomas each homered for the Angels in their victory over the Twins. Ken Mcßride struck out 11 men and gave up seven hits in gaining his ninth win against five defeats. Pedro Ramos was charged with his 11th loss compared with six even though he allowed only four hits and struck out 10 in the seven innings he worked.

| Toddy' $ Sport Parade | (»er. U. S. Fat. off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International i NEW YORK (UPI) - They bury Ty Cobb today and it’s a pity that he can’t hear the eulogy. Baseball men across the nation are lavish with their praise and Wordy avowals of warm admiration. All of them come a trifle late. For Tyrus Raymond Cobb needed it most in the vacant years after he left the fame, years "in which he was a lonely man burdened with the ready hatreds and undying dislikes of a scornful youth. It Is easy to sound as if you are disparaging him. Because, aside from the icy incomparability of the records he compiled, Cobb never was loved by the men of baseball or their fans. That was reserved for the smiling ones, the Ruths and the Gehrigs and their easy-going like. Cobb knew he was revered as a player. But he also knew he had accomplished his objective with unflagging anger and a flagrant air of superiority. There had been too many years in which he riled, scoffed and shunned people. Summing up his career, he recalled the manner in which the older players had hazed him when he first went up to Detroit. The wattled neck turned crimson at the furious memory. "I resolved I’d be tougher and meaner than any of them," he growled. Succeeded In Purpose Nobody ever succeeded so fully. Thus it was, as the years closed in on him, that in the twilight of his career few words of encouragement ever were written to him. Every season toward the climax there were dire predictions, with an overtone of happy anticipation that he had reached the end of the road. Only when it was finally over did the wry-faced man with thebrittle blue eyes realize what he had sacrificed to become a legend. The things he needed now were friendship and companionship. But those he had beaten, battered and bullied stood aloof and isolated him from their camaraderie. Cobb, never one to ask for a quarter, carefully concealed his pique. Yet, on occasion it blazed through. Where others of his era praised the players who came later, Cobb with all of the old disdain unsoftened by mellowing friendships, barked: “Nothing means much today. Some second rate hinky-dink can come up and pop a ball clear to the fence, a hit that with the old ball would have barely got'Out of the infield.” Experienced Frustration It did little to endear him to the moderns, and it told the old ones that Cobb still was Cobb. Thus time did little to dull the fangs of the legend and Cobb experienced the frustration in many ways. Like the time an oldster introduced his son to Cobb. “Oh, yes,” said the boy, “I remember you. You were known as the spiker.” Cobb was white. His vot€-e,„trem-bled. “I don’t want to go down in people’s memdries like that,” he said. Four years ago he closed his big house at Atherton. Calif. He was divorced. His children were gone. To a man who had known the roar of the crowd, even an angry crowd, the silence was unbearable. “In this house," he admitted. “I’m just a lonesome old man.” Which makes it a shame that he can’t hear the glowing warmth of the eulogy today. The lonely man would have found it so much better than the emptiness of his fame.
