Mickey Mantle needs to tie Mel Ott for fifth place on the alltime home run list, and the way the Yankee slugger is going he might have a chance to do some celebrating after the Memorial Day doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers. Mantle smashed his 11th homer of the year and his 507th career blast Sunday as New York defeated the Cleveland Indians 5-0. It was Mantle’s fourth home run in the last week and his eighth since May 14. Mantle, who is 35 years old and has been plagued by crippling leg injuries throughout his 16 seasons with the Yankees, is also in reach of Ted Williams,

MILTON’S POSEY PATCH Open Sundays 12 to 6 in May For Plant Salta Only

Villanova ICAA Track Champs VILLANOVA. Pa. UPI— The Villanova track team was back to nursing injuries today after putting them aside long enough to win its eighth ICAA track championship in the past 11 years. The Wildcats shook off the pains of pulled hamstrings,, wrenched knees and tonsilitis to dominate the championship meet at Villanova Stadium on Saturday. They dethroned the powerful Maryland team which held the title for two years after ending a five-year Villanova reign. Villanova piled up 37 points to Maryland’s 21 after three probable Terrapin victors had to cancel out because of exams or were eliminated in the qualifying rounds. Rutgers was third with 20 points followed by Army with 18; Yale with 15; Georgetown, 14, and Navy and Penn State, 13 each. The Wildcats’ mile ace, Dave Patrick, was hampered by tonsilititis but he ran forcefully enough to set a new ICAA mile record of 4:04.9. He launched his kick about 300 yards from the finish to beat out teammate Frank Murphy by 12 yards. Villanova had only other first place winner, sophomore Erv Hall, who was a question mark before the meet with a pulled hamstring. But running with his leg heavily taped, he equalled the :14.1 record for the 120-yard high hurdles, winning by two yards over John Copeland of Connecticut.

Dies In Fire

INDIANAPOLIS UPI — Fire swept a house trailer at the south edge of Indianapolis Sunday morning, killed Chester Thomas. 22, Indianapolis. An investigation is underway to determine the exact cause of the blaze, but officials believe the fire may have been caused by a cigarette.

Road To Freedom IONIA, Mich. UPI —Prisoners at the Michigan State Reformatory have apparently found the road to freedom. Friday night, four men went out the back window of an unguarded dormitory. Sunday night, five trustees took flight, using the same window.

; CHARLOTTE, N.C. UPI — “Strategy really doesn’t mean much,” according to Jim Paschal, winner of Sunday’s eight world 600. In the longest and second richest of all stock car races, that may be true. As the only 600-miler of the year, it offers more unknowns because of that extra 100 .miles which becomes a test of the driver's endurance as well as the car's. Paschal, a 40-year-old High Point. N.C., Plymouth driver, concedes his win without strategy really proved him "awful, awful lucky.” Paschal led 334 laps, including all after the 161st. When his car scraped the wall coming out of the fourth turn of the 1.5 mile Charlotte Motor Speedway with less than 100 miles to go, his first thought was, "Oh hell, here goes the race.”

As the debris left by his right front sent the caution flag up. he dropped back about two laps from his three-lap lead. Despite steering problems he managed to stay ahead of hard charging David Pearson’s Ford and Bobby Allison’s Dodge-although all three were in the same lap at the end. Paschal, who said he tried to set a pace of about 150 miles per hour, set a new record for the race, 135.823 m.p.h., a shade ahead of last year’s 135.042 m.p.m. win by Marvin Panch with Richard Petty in relief.

Got His Mon HOLLAND, Mich. UPI — Patrolman Randy Bauwkamp is not one to give up easily. Sunday he arrested James Pfeiffer, 23, Holland, on charges of reckless driving and failure to stop for an officer. But before Bauwkamp served the ticket, he said he had to chase the Pfieffer’s car through three counties.

BARABOO, Wis. UPI—The first annual auction for the benefit of the Circus World Museum here apparently disproved P. T. Bamum’s axiom: “A sucker is born every minute.” Although various items, from electric bun warmers to elephant toenail trimmers, were auctioned off, museum Director Chappie Fox said the sale brought in only a fraction of what it would have if the audience had included more bona fide circus buffs.
