Mickey Mantle Suffers Broken Bone tn Foot BALTIMORE (UPI) — Mickey Mantle accepted his latest injury with a shrug of his broad shoulders today while his New York Yankee teammates resigned themselves to playing without their biggest star for at least a month. The SIOO,OOO-a-year slugger suffered a broken bone in his left foot Wednesday night when his spikes caught in the center field fence at Memorial Stadium while he was attempting to flag down a home run drive by Brooks Robinson of the Baltimore Orioles.—: Mantle was carried from the field on a stretcher and removed to Union Memorial Hospital, where x-rays disclosed a fracture of the third metatarsal bone of Mickey’s left foot. Although the Yankees are hopeful that Mantle will be able to rejoin them in a month, the recuperative period could be longer inasmuch as the blond-haired center fielder is a slow healer. His foot will remain in a cast for between two and three weeks, then he may need at least two more weeks to regain mobility. The Yankees had lost three straight games and five of their last eight before pulling out of their spin with a 4-3 victory over the Orioles Wednesday night that enabled them to regain first place. With Mantle again out of action, they could be in serious trouble but manager Ralph Houk doesn't think so. ; “Sure, we’ve lost the best player in the league but that doesn’t mean we’re going to lie down and die,” said Houk. “We’ve played without Mickey before and done pretty well. This isn’t a oneman team.” Houk indicated he will rely mainly on reserve outfielder Jack Reed as Mantle’s replacement. However, he also may move first baseman Joe Pepitone to center or shift Tom Tresh there, with Hector Lopez replacing Tresh in left field. The 31-year-old Mantle has been plagued by injuries since his youth when he suffered a form of infantile paralysis that weakened his legs. Last season Mickey tore a ligament in his left leg but still managed to win the American League’s most valuable player award for the third time on the strength of a .321 batting average, 30. homers and 89 runs batted in.

The righthander won three games and lost twice for the local nine, hurling a total of 31 innings. In winning a share of the conference title, the first since 1950, with Angola, the Decatur club won six conference games and lost only once. Overall, McColly's club won 12 and lost only four.

Raid Military Mission Base In Venezuela CARACAS (UPI) — Castroite terrorists raided the U.S. military mission here Wednesday night, forced six unarmed Americans and four Venezuelan army guards to strip and stole their uniforms and the Venezuelans’ guns. The terrorists then set fire to the mission building causing $20,000 damage, burned a US. flag and a portrait of George Washington and fled. "Next time we won’t be kidding,” one of them snarled as he fled. Police picked up three suspected terrorists near the mission shortly after the raid. The army summoned reinforcements to patrol the neighborhood, but there were no further reports of trouble. The raid was staged to commemorate the abortive revolt a year ago at Puerto Cabello, where Communists and rightists joined forces in an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow President Romulo Betancourt. The Americans in the building at the time of the attack last night were Col. James K. Che- ; naut, Corpus Christi, Tex., deputy chief of the mission and his 15-year-old son; Majs. Bernard . Gardner and T. C. Blevins and I Sgts. Jose Augustini, Archivaldo , Saenz, Kenneth Smith and Rudolph Felix. All of them except Chenault ' and his son were forced to give ' up their uniforms. The first attackers on the scene were four men armed with submachine guns. They were uniformed as Venezuelan officers, a ruse that caught the four Venezuelan sentries posted at the door off guard. After the Venezuelan soldiers had been disarmed, four more at tackers armed with revolvers drove up in two cars. Members of the band herded the Americans and the Venezuelans into a patio adjoining the mission building. Some of them, who spoke good English, delivered what Chenault called a ”’ti-

Chicago Cubs Whip Giants In Twin Bill By United Press International It may be about time to take the Chicago Cubs seriously because it’s sure time to make light of stories that Ernie Banks is over the hill. The Cubs, who haven't won a National League pennant since 1945 and haven’t been in the first division since 1946, are tied for second place with the St. Louis Cardinals only one game behind the faltering San Francisco Giants. They’ve won four straight and 10 of their last 12 games, including Wednesday’s 9-5 and 5-4 victories over the Giants. It would be a ho-hum matter for rival NL teams except for the fact that the 32-year-old Banks—mired in the worst slump of his career for the first seven weeks of the season—is swinging that whip-like bat again like the man who’s averaged 33 homers a season for 10 years. Ernie couldn’t buy a hit for one agonizing spell, going l-for-28 and o-for-22 in a slump that benched him and suggested that his carer as a star might be over. Banks Bounces Back But a short rest on the bench apparently was all the ace needed because he’s bounced back with nine hits in 19 tries in his last five games. He went 4-for-8 with two homers Wednesday when the Cubs achieved their first sweep of the season and dealt the Giants their seventh loss in 10 games. The Philadelphia Phillies jolted the St. Louis Cardinals 6-0, the Los Angeles Dodgers whipped the Houston Colts 5-1, the Pittsburgh Pirates swept the Cincinnati Reds 5-4 and 4-3, and the Milwaukee Braves downed the New York Mets 11-9, in 10 innings in other NL games. In the American League, the New York Yankees nipped the Baltimore Orioles 4-3, the Minnesota Twins topped the Kansas City Athletics 4-0, the Detroit Tigers beat the Cleveland Indians 5-4, and the Los Angeles Angels won 8-2, after losing .3-0 to the Chicago White Sox in a twi-nighter. Banks hit two homers and Ken Hubbs, Lou Brock and Billy Williams hit one each in the Cubs’ first-game win and Brock had three hits in the nightcap as Dick Ellsworth won his eighth game and Lindy McDaniel his second. Willie Mays, Harvey Kuenn, Willie McCovey and Orlando Cepeda homered for the Giants during the double-header. Pitches Three-Hitter Ray Culp pitched a three-hitter for his seventh win behind a Philadelphia attack that included a homer, double and single by Tony Gonzalez. Curt Simmons, former Philadelphia star, suffered his second loss of the year and only his second to the Phillies since 1960. Sandy Koufax pitched an eighthitter and struck out eight for his eighth victory at Houston. Dick Tracewski had three hits and Frank Howard two to spark the Dodgers’ 10-hit attack. Ken Johnson suffered his eighth defeat for ..the .Colts—-■ ■ Smoky Burgess’ eighth-inning pinch single provided the Pirates with their margin of victory in the first game and Bill Virdon led they 10-hit attack with a tworun homer in the nightcap. Bill Mazeroski and Jim Pagliaroni homered for the Pirates in the first game and Frank Robinson hit two homers for the Reds in the second game. The Braves blew an eight-run lead when the Mets scored seven runs in the sixth inning but won out in the 10th when Bubba Morton singled with the bases filled. Lee Maye and Denis Menke hit homers for the Braves while Rod Kanehl and Frank Thomas had tjhree hits each for the Mets. Ambulance Called But No Patient The Winteregg-Linn ambulance created some excitement in downtown Decatur this morning when it pulled up to the court house about 10:30 a.m. but the call turned out to be a “dry run.” A lady had reported that a man had collapsed on the sidewalk, but Dick Linn, on arrival, discovered that the man had had a mild epileptic seizure, and had already started walking home. ..... ~ rate against Yankee’ imperialism” i to the captive audience. .

That's what rival American Leaguers call it and sometimes you have to wonder because it seems that even when they lose they win. Take Wednesday night when they lost the services of threetime Most Valuable Player Mickey Mantle for three weeks to a month. Disaster? Possibly in the future but not right now. Because the Yankees not only beat the Baltimore Orioles 4-3, despite the loss of Mantle, but also regained possession of first place. What’s more, they scored the winning run on a tap back to the pitcher’s mound that should have resulted in an inning-ending double play. No wonder American Leaguers insist somebody up there loves ’em! The critical play came with the bases filled and one out in the eighth inning. The score was tied at 3-3 and Yogi Berra was making one of his infrequent appearances as a pinch-hitter. He tapped the ball back to the mound and Stu Miller fired it to catcher Dick Brown for the forceout at the plate. So far, so good but in another instant so long. Orioles. Tresh Jars Brown Because, Tom Tresh, running from third base, jarred the ball out of Brown's hand as he prepared for the relay to first base. The ball squirted loose and in another second or two Roger Maris went chugging over the plate—all the way from second base—with the winning run. Whitey Ford yielded 13 hits but pitched his way out of numerous jams and wound up with his seventh win against three losses. Jackie Brandt and Brooks Robinson homered for the Orioles but Maris achieved a milestone when .he hit No. 200 of his career for the Yankees. The Los Angeles Angels beat the Chicago White Sox 8-2 after a 3-0 defeat, the Minnesota Twins defeated the Kansas City Athletics 4-0, hnd the Detroit Tigers topped the Cleveland Indians 5-4 in other AL action.

Homers Win Game Home runs by Jim Landis and Dave Nicholson and the nine-hit pitching of Johnny Buzhardt enabled the White Sox to win the first game of their twi-nighter with the Angels. But the Angels rallied for seven runs in the sixth inning of the nightcap to split the double bill and give Ken Mcßride his fifth win. Albie Pearson went 2-for-5 in the first game and 4-for-5 in the second. Richie Rollins knocked in three runs with a homer and two singles and Bob Allison hit his 15th homer for the Twins, who shut out the Athletics for the second straight game. Jim Roland went seven innings before retiring with an injured elbow and Bill Dailey finished the game. Norm Cash’s ninth-inning horn, er and Terry Fox’ sturdy relief pitching for the last 1 2-3 innings gave Detroit’s Jim Bunning his fourth victory. Jim Grant suffered his sixth loss against three wins for the Indians.

Early Wynn Returns To Cleveland Team CLEVELAND (UPI) — Early Wynn was back with the Cleveland Indians today with another chance to gain baseball’s 300-vic-tory club. The big right-hander, who has 299 victories, isn’t back just for one triumph, however. “Sure 1 want 300,” he said, "but I really believe I can do a lot more pitching. 1 don’t see why I can’t pitch a couple more seasons.” Wynn arrived here Wednesday from his home in Venice, Fla., after agreeing to join the Indians last Friday. The 43-year-old hurler is returning to the city where he enjoyed his greatest success. Obtained from Washington in 1949, Wynn spent nine seasons in the wigwam, recording 163 victories against 100 losses. He had four 20-victory campaigns. “I feel like I’m back home,” Wynn said. “I pitched here longer than anywhere else in the major leagues and I always enjoyed Cleveland very much.” Wynn, later traded to Chicago, won seven games for the White Sox last year but the 300th victory eluded him three times late in the season. The veteran pitcher thinks it will take three w?eks before he’s set for another try at the big victory. “I really would like four weeks to get ready but time is short and I'll have to rush things,” Wynn said. “I’ve stayed fairly active so my legs are all right but it’ll take a while to get my arm ready. I haven’t done any throwing for three weeks.” Wynn will accompany the Indians on their road trip starting Friday and he’s expected to pitch some batting practice. He will not be placed on the active list for at least two weeks. Major League Leaders National League Flayer&Club .

NEIGHBORING (Continued from Page Eight) Paeon, peonies were for many years believed to have mysterious healing powers. They were, so the legends said, able to cure headaches and convulsions, dispel nightmares and remove obstructions from the liver. Peonies were planted by doorsteps to keep away evil spirits, and a small piece of the root was often worn around the neck for the same purpose. It was also commonly held that peonies should be dug in the daytime, least a green woodpecker come to peck out the eyes of the digger. Naming New Plante There are nearly 1,000 varieties of peonies, same of which are hybrids developed by peony growers, To be officially recognized a variety must be registered with the American Peony society. Varieties are often named after the wife or , daughter of the grower. 0 fte n, though, more poetic or famous ’ names are used and a list of peony , varieties reads like a mixture of Who’s Who and a horse-race , schedule, including such famed ' and exotic titles as Grover Cleveland, Avalanche, Mrs. F. D. Roosevelt, Evening Star, President , Roosevelt, Fury, Col. C. Linbergh, The Fawn and President Taft. Wassenberg himself developed two named varities, the Vera Wassenberg and the Bu-Te, both still popular. There are only two species of . peonies native to America, both Hutcheson Appeal Before High Court INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Oral ■ arguments were scheduled before tthe Indiana Supreme Court this 1 afternoon in the appeal of Maurice A. Hutcheson, president of the Carpenters Union, from a bribery conviction in connection with the Indiana highway scandals. The case is the last growing out of the scandals during the admin- . istration of former Gov. George Craig to come before the ‘high court. The appeals of all others 1 convicted were turned down by : the court earlier and all of them - already have been released from prison on parole. Hutcheson and two other top union officials were convicted in Marion Criminal Court in October, 1960, and were sentenced to 2-14 years on charges of bribing state - highway officials in connection ■ with land acquisition deals on : which the union leaders allegedly - made a 400 per cent profit.

of which were originally found in the mountainous regions of ,Colifornia and Washington. These types of peonies belong to a separate genus called Onaepia. Other Types There are two other basic types many of the varieties of which have been imported to the United States. The first. Moutan, the tree Peony species, came from China and Tibet. The other type. Paeon, is the most numerous and is found in Europe, Africa and Asia. Almost all common double peonies in this country are descended from the Chinese-Japanese peony. Only the early-blooming red peony, and its pink and white varieties, are descended from the European variety. Society To Meet The annual meeting of the American Peony Society, held in Van Wert in 1960, is scheduled this year for Mansfield, Ohio and will be held this weekend. Representing Van Wert at Mansfield will be Mayor C. D. Pennell Miller, who is expecting a large number of visitors at Wassenberg Gardens, will be unable to attend the Mansfield meeting. Van Wert peony growers were active for many years in the affairs of the society. Two Van Wert growers, the late Lee R. Bonnewitz and Wassenberg, were presidents of the organization. ■ FEET ACHE, ITCH? Uof all your bones are In the feet. No wonder they -ache, swell, per - - spire, itch.
