Mantle, Maris Blast Homers As Yanks Win By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer The Yankees are ready to do business again, Maris and Mantle are back from lunch. They were “gone” so long, a lot of people had nearly given tip on them, but not patient, understanding Ralph Houk. Houk says if another war broke out tomorrow, the first two guys he’d' want on his side would be Roger and Mickey. As a quick after-thought, he claims they’re not a bad combination to have in peacetime, either. Between them both, they have hit a total of 13 home runs during the past week. Each clouted a pair in Friday night’s 7-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins that kept the Yankees a scant half-game from first place. Mantle, still hobbling occasionally because of a thigh injury that isn’t, completely healed yet, tied a major league record by connecting for successive homers off loser Camilo Pascual in his first two times up. Mick Slammed 17th Mick had hit a pair of homers against Kansas City Wednesday in his last two times at bat, so that made him the 13th player ever to hit four homers in consecutive times up. He has 17 for the year, seven of which came in the past week. Maris, with 21 homers for the season, rapped his first of the game Friday night with two on in the opening frame and connected again with the bases empty off reliever Lee Stange in the fifth; The M&M bombardment provided Ralph Terry with his 11th victory although Luis Arroyo came to his aid and held the Twins hitless over the last 2 1-3 innings. Cleveland held on to its slim lead with a 5-3 triumph over the Chicago White Sox while the Los Angeles Angels slipped from a first-place tie to third place by losing to the Boston Red Sox, 12-7. Detroit bumped Baltimore, 5-4, and Kansas City outscored Washington, 12-9. Giants Crushed Dodgers The San Francisco Giants climbed within a half-game of the National League lead by crushing the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers, 12-3, Philadelphia snapped Pittsburgh’s seven-game winning streak, 6-2, Houston blanked Cincinnati, 2-0, the New York Mets swamped the St. Louis Cardinals, 10-3, and the Milwaukee Braves beat the Chicago Cubs, 5-3, in 10 innings. Ruben Gomez notched his first victory for the Indians even though tagged for 11 hits by the White Sox. Early Wynn was foiled in a bid for the 297th victory of his career when he was driven from the box in the fifth as Cleveland increased its lead to 4-0. No-hit pitchers Bo Belinsky and Earl Wilson both failed to survive in the Red Sox victory over the Angels. Belinsky walked four of the first five men he faced and they all scored. Wilson had an 11-0 lead but still was chased during a five-run fifth. Arnold Earley finished and was the winner. Pete Runnels and Jim Pagliaroni hit homers for Boston. - Pinch hitter Vic Wertz came off the bench in the ninth inning and. belted a homer off Hoyt Wil-' 8 helm to dissolve a 4-all tie between the Tigers and Orioles. It was the first homer Wilhelm gave up this season. Jim Bunning scattered 10 hits, for his ninth win. A’s Rallied In Seventh Jerry Lumpe’s double with the bases loaded highlighted a sevenrun eighth-inning rally by the A’s after the Senators had taken a 9-5 lead on homers by Bob Johnson, Chuck Hinton, Jim King and Bob Schmidt. The victory went to Gordon Jones while Bennie Daniels suffered his 10th straight loss after winning the season opener. Juan Marichal was the big difference between the Giants and Dodgers. He struck out 13, allowed only five" hits and drove in three runs to register his 12th victory. Stan Williams was the loser as the Dodgers committed five errors. > c Art Mahaffey stopped the Pirates on seven hits in scoring his 10th win for the Phillies. The Phils handed Bob Friend his 10th defeat while collecting 15 hits, including homers by Tony Gonzalez and Clay Dalrymple. Hal Woodeshick halted Houston’s five-game backslide with an eight-hit victory over Cincinnati. Woodeshick fanned eight and didn’t walk a man in winning his third game and first since April 24. The Colts scored both their runs off Joey Jay in the second on three singles and a sacrifice fly. Kanehl Grand Slammed Rod Kanehl’s grand slam homer along with homers by ' Gil Hodges and Charley Neal helped the Mets to their one-sided triumph over the cards. Hodges’ homer was the 370th of his major league career, making him the No. 1 right-handed home run hitter in N.L. history. The victory, hurled by Roger Craig, was sort of a welcome home present for Mrs. Charles Shipman Payson, the . owner of the Mets, whojust returned from

Cardinals Edge Cubs, 2-1, In Pony League The Cardinals scored a run in the sixth inning to break a 1-1 tie and hung on for a 2-1 win over the Cubs in Pony League play Friday night. The run broke up a tight pitching duel between Sam Blythe of the Cubs and Terry Myers of the Cardinals, as the two had battled on even terms throughout the first five innings. Pat Werst accounted for the winning run as he walked to open the sixth inning, stole second, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on a passed ball. Blythe struck out 10 Cardinals in the first six innings, allowing only two hits, before giving way to John Lose in the seventh. Myers whiffed the outstanding total of 19 batters, while allowing three hits during the seven innings he worked. The Cubs took a brief 1-0 lead in the third inning when Jerry Murphy singled to lead off the inning. Biff Brown, running for Murphy, stole second and third and romped home on a passed ball to put his team in the lead. The Cants came right back in the fourth inning to tie the score, combining both their hits to score their first run. Myers singled through the middle, stole second, and scored on Werst’s single to left field. The Cubs threatened in the sixth inning when they loaded the bases with one out, but could not get the tieing run across the plate. Dan Kable and Terry Stults got the Cubs’ other two hits, a sipgje in the fifth and sixth innings respectively.

Former Wave Forced To End Ocean Swim NEW YORK (UPI) — Endurance swimmer Britt Sullivan never did get to Coney Island the way she wanted to, but she swam her way into the record books just\he same. The 27-year-old former Wave had to end her marathon ocean swim Friday when her legs refused to kick any longer, after 85 hours in the water. She was brought to shore 25 miles from her Coney Island goal. Even though Miss Sullivan did not accomplish her aim of a 100mile trip, her 75-mile swim from Southampton was more than enough to win a place in sports annals. After all, her handlers noted, she broke the salt water swimming record set by Tom Cook in Los Angeles. Cook’s 31mile trip took 36 hours. If Miss Sullivan had been swimming across the English Channel instead of along the Long Island coast, she could have been the first swimmer to make two non-stop round trips — four 19mile journeys back and forth between Dover, England and Cape Gris Nez in France.

Today's Sport Parade (Beg. U.S. Pat. Off > , By OSCAR FRALEY UPI Sports Writer GRAND BLANC, Mich. (UPDThe game of golf made the days of his youth a time of frustration for the big, genial man who through it all never lost his hearty facade. The gaudy greatness of his father cast an impenetrable shadow. And there was no inceitive to make him attempt the seeming impossible by trying to become a chip off the old block. So Sunday, a day on which he gets his biggest golfing chance on the television mike, well may be the start of long-sought solace for Walter Hagen Jr. You remember his dad, for he ranks as one of the immortals of a game which has grown to fantastic proportions. For the Haig was nothing if not the best during the golden 20’s when he won two U.S. Opens, five PGA championships and five British Open titles. He was a legend which has grown with the years, as bright in the locker room conversation of today as he was then. Young Walter never had a chance. He was the five-thumbed son of a diamond cutting genius. A great jockey's son who was fearful of horses. A Barrymore with the talents of a Jerry Lewis. Elected Golf Captain He wanted to be a baseball catcher after the late Mickey Cochrane gave him a catcher's mitt. But when he went to prep school at Manlius they made him captain of the golf team and, forced to play number one, he was clobbered by the top player of every other team they met. By the time he was a senior at Notre Dame he had become proficient enough, in self defense, to win the Indiana intercollegiates. But in a practice round just before his first Open tournament, he dubbed the ball in his father’s • presence. Typically, he was afraid that he was embarrassing his dad. So when the business world beckoned, young Walter fled the fairways. “I wish now,” says the Haig, “that we had known how big golf would become and I had worked with him. He could have been a really fine player. But I was making S3OO for winning the British Open. I wanted him to do better. There was no way of knowing that today they’d be playing for more than $2 million a year.” Strongly Resembles Father Walter Jr., who now is a dead ringer for his dad when the Haig was in his prime, and who has the same magnetic personality and warmth, shrugs it off, as he always did. But Sunday he’ll be at the mike in the final round of the Buck Open, lending his knowledge of the game and that Hagen personality to the national broadcast over NBC from 5:30 to 7 p.m. EDT. “It’s great,” he enthused. “I wanted to do this before but they always told me to get some experience. Well, I’ve done a lot of radio work and now is my chance. Who knows, maybe this will be the start of something big, like working the Masters, the Open and other big tournaments.” It is, at least, a chance to do something on his own in the game of golf. Something at which, fortunately, they won’t be comparing him to the old man. That, even at 44, he’d like to leave to somebody else. Like, say, 14-year-old Walter Hagen 111, who

Cooper, Lerna Sharing Lead In Buick Open GRAND BLANC, Mich. .(UPD — Pete Cooper, a veteran of the golfing wars, and Tony Lema, a 28-year-old ex-Marine, shared the lead with 140 today as the 97 survivors went into the third round of the $52,000 Buick Open tournament. ■■ . .. Cooper, who has made most of his money playing the Caribbean tour; and Lema, who never has won a tournament in seven years on the tour, had 69’s Friday ancj, were one stroke ahead of Juan (chi Chi) Rodriquez and Bill Coltins, while another stroke back came Doug Sanders and Jerry Barber. They were busting par with abandon on the 7,280-yard Warwick Hills golf course with another seven at 143, one under the card for 36-holes and with that distance still to be traveled. This threatening group, jockeying for position as they took dead aim on Sunday’s final round Included former U.S. Open champion Cary Middlecoff — back on his game after several lean years with a 69 — as well as Al Geiberger, Gardner Dickinson, Dave Hill, Jim Ferree, Johnny Pott and Paul Harney. Former Masters champion Art Wall and young Ken Still of Galveston, Tex., who had blasted out three under par 69’s to lead in the first round. But Still chopped out a 77 Friday to fall all the way back to 146, six shots back, while Wall found the going ever tougher with a 78 that put him at 147. Sprinting in front of them as they wavered, at even par 144, were former U.S. Open champion Billy Casper, Ken Venturi, Bob Goalby, Bob Shave and Bob Harrison. is demonstrating remarkable prowess with a golf club. For the grandson, the incentive is there.
