Mantle Tees Off in Yankees Sweep;His 11 Circuit Clouts Lead
Majors
PHILADELPHIA Mickey Mantle is the
Yankees newest phenom, and theres only
one word for what he did Sunday:
Phenomenal.
Mantle, who wont turn 20 until after this
season, belted four home runs two in each
game and had six RBI in leading the Yan-
kees to a doubleheader sweep of the Athletics,
8-6 and 16-12 in 10 innings.
The home run binge propelled Mantle, the
switch-hitter from Commerce, Okla., into the
major league lead with 11. No other player has
more than eight.
It also helped the Bombers jump from sev-
enth place to fourth in one afternoon.
Mantle went 4-for-5 in the first game. Hebashed homers in the
third and fourth innings,
the second giving the Yanks a 7-6 lead.
Neither starting pitcher New Yorks
Allie Reynolds nor Phillys Alex Kellner
lasted past the second inning. Reliever Joe
Ostrowski (3-1) got the win with 3 2/3 innings
of sharp relief. Gus Zernial homered twice and
had four RBI for Philly.
New York trailed 12-4 after six innings in
the nightcap, but wore down the As with a
relentless 25-hit attack. Mantle cracked a two-
run circuit clout in the seventh, and his solo
shot in the ninth sparked a game-tying five-
run rally.
The Yanks won it with a four-run outburst
in the tenth. Joe Collins had five hits, and
Yogi Berra had four hits and four RBI.
Billy Hitchcock knocked in four runs for
the As.
AROUND THE HORN
Elsewhere in the American League:
Eddie Robinson pounded a game-winning
three-run homer in the bottom of the 11th in-
ning as the White Sox beat the Indians, 8-5.
The Tribe gave Bob Feller, making his first
start since dousing himself with scalding water
May 1, a 4-0 lead in the top of the first. But
Feller, who lead the loop in ERA coming into
the game, slowly let it get away.
In fact, it took Dale Mitchells two-out RBI
single in the top of the ninth to force extra in-
nings. Robinson ended it with his seventh homer
off loser Steve Gromek (1-1).
Saul Rogovin (2-2) threw his first career
shutout to help the Tigers gain a doubleheader
split with the Browns.
Rogovins five-hitter gave Detroit a 2-0 win
in the opener. Bobby Youngs game-winning
single in the bottom of the 10th inning gave St.
Louis a 6-5 win in the nightcap .Mel Parnell threw a six-hitter
and Walt
Dropo hit a three-run homer as Red Sox downed
the Senators, 6-1.
It was the third complete game for Parnell (3-
2). Bob Kuzava (1-2) took the loss.

Notes on the Scorecard
Barneys a Wild Man in
Debut With Fort Worth Former National Democratic Chairman
JamesA. Farley said Sunday he was forced to give a
flat no comment on the possibility of being
chosen to replace Happy Chandler as baseball
commissioner.
Farley, in Schenectady, N.Y., to speak at a
communion breakfast of St.
Helens Holy Names Society,
said the situation was too deli-
cate for any comment from him.
A long-time sports fan, Farley
has been considered as a strong
contender for the post of base-
ball czar. He would not say if he was seeking
the job, nor if it had been offered to him. He did
acknowledge that he knew he was considered as
a possibility in unofficial sports circles.
Years ago he was supposed to be one of a
group of businessmen seeking to buy the New
York Yankees from the Jacob Ruppert estate.
He also once was New York State boxing com-
missioner.
He said he is an avid Yankee fan, always has
been and manages to keep in touch with the gen-
eral baseball picture.
A former semi-pro baseball player, he said he
was a first baseman and a power hitter.
Always could hit the long ball, he said.
the Giants retaliated with three runs off Jocko
Thompson (0-4) in the bottom of the frame, and
that ended the scoring.
New York had to rally from a 6-0 deficit in
the nightcap. The Giants didnt pull even until
Alvin Darks three-run homer in the bottom of
the ninth. It marked the third time in the past six
games the Giants won or tied the game with ahome run in the home
half of the ninth.
Monte Irvin capped a two-run rally with a
game-winning single in the bottom of the 11th.
AROUND THE HORN
Elsewhere in the National League:
The Pirates rode a pair of clutch home runs
to a doubleheader sweep of the Cubs.
Catcher Clyde McCulloughs game-winning
NEW YORKThe Giants remain leaders of
the National League and kings of the ninth in-
ning.
New York swept the Philadelphia Phillies
Sunday, riding Larry Jansens crisp four-hitter
to a 3-1 win in the first game, and once again
snatching victory from the cold clutches of de-
feat to win the second, 9-8 in 11 innings.Sundays triumphs gave
the Giants a sweep of
the three-game weekend series with Philadel-
phia. The Phils arrived at the Polo Grounds in
first place, leading New York by percentage
points. They left in third place, three games off
the pace.
Jansen (4-2) didnt need much help in the
opener. He allowed a run in the top of the first,
FORT WORTH, Tex. Rex Barney, wild-
man refugee from the Brooklyn Dodgers,
walked 16 batters Sunday night to set a TexasLeague record.
As Barney went, so went the Fort Worth Cats
down 6-2 before the Houston Buffs. Actu-
ally, Barneys Fort Worth debut was not so bad
as it might sound, and he stayed around 7 2/3
innings before manager Bobby Bragan decided
to stop suffering and waved him off the mound.
That was the eighth inning, after Barney
walked consecutive batter No. 4, forcing across
the run that broke a 1-1 deadlock. Before he
took the ignominious walk to the showers,
Barney had struck out five and allowed only
two hits in a duel, more or less, with young
Vinegar Bend Mizell.
The purchase of right-hand pitcher Sid
Schacht from the St. Louis Browns was an-nounced by GM John
Quinn of the Braves.
At the same time Quinn said that Bob Hogue,
also a right-hand pitcher, had been claimed on
waivers by the Browns.
Hogue has been used mainly in relief since
joining the Braves in 1948. Quinn said that
Schacht would report to the Braves in Cincin-
nati on Tuesday.
three-run shot capped a five-run rally in the bot-
tom of the ninth as the Bucs won the first game,
10-7. Ted Beards three-run blast in the bottom
of the eighth gave them a 6-4 triumph in the
second.
The Cardinals, swept by the Reds in a dou-
bleheader Saturday, returned the favor Sunday
with wins of 6-3 and 10-2.Max Lanier (3-1) tossed a complete
game in
the opener. Chuck Diering had a two-run dou-
ble and three RBI.
Rookie Joe Presko (1-0) won his first major
league game in the nightcap with a six-hitter.
Max Surkont (3-3) won his third consecu-
tive start as the Braves beat the Dodgers, 12-4.
Sam Jethroe extended his hit streak to 17.
