MacKay Splits in Davis Cup Matches
By The Associataed Press
CLEVELAND - Mickey Mantle
smashed two home runs, including
his first grand slam of the season,
as the New York Yankees defeated
the Cleveland Indians, 13-6, last
night.
Whitey Ford allowed eight hits
and struck out 10, but weakened in
the ninth and needed help from
Tom Morgan for the final out.
Mantle's two homers-his 33rd
and 34th of the season-put him
one game ahead of Babe Ruth's
pace when he hit 60 in 1927.
His grand slam homer, the fifth
of his career, came in the second
inning off the Indian's veteran
righthander, Bob Lemon. The
Yanks scored seven runs in that
inning, all unearned because of
two errors by third baseman Al
Rosen.
Braves 8, Dodgers 6
BROOKLYN--Hank Aaron
drove in four runs and nailed down
an 8-6 victory over the Brooklyn
Dodgers last night with a seventh-
inning home run and a ninth-in-
ning double as Milwaukee's Na-
tional League leading Braves de-
feated the world champions for the
seventh time.
The victory ended a two-game
Milwaukee losing streak and re-
tained the Braves' 22 game mar-
gin over runner-up Cincinnati.
' Aaron's 16th homer, following a
leadoff double by Billy Bruton,
pshed the Braves into a 7-1 lead
416,the seventh following homers
by .EdMathews and Joe Adcock,
buV5,,it proved Just enough for the
Braves as the Dodgers shelled Bob
Buhl with three runs in the eighth
and then got two in the ninth on
a home run by Peewee Reese.

with a doubleheader victory over
the Chicago Cubs.
Haddix won the second game, 4-
2, after Roberts took me opener,
5-4.
Haddix allowed just four hits
with a job that through seven in-
nings boardered on the sensational.
Solly Drake opened the game with
a single and was erased stealing.
Haddix retired the next 20 batters
in order.
A walk with the bases loaded
and a sacrifice fly accounted for
two runs in the sixth inning to
give the Phillies the twilight game.
Roberts earned his 11th victory
against the same number of de-
feats, giving up eight hits and
striking out seven.
Redlegs 4, Pirates 2
PITTSUBRGH-The Cincinnati
Redlegs completed a sweep of their
five-game series with the Pitts-
burgh Pirates last night, whipping
the skidding Bucs, 4-2, to keep
within 2 games of first place Mil-
waukee.
Gus Bell, a former Pirate, was
the thorn in the Pirate side. With
mates on second and third and
two out in the third, Bell sent a
sinking low liner to right field.
Outfielder Bob Clemente missed
a shoestring catch and Bell got
credit for a double as both runs
scored.
The only Pirate scoring came
in the fifth on Frank Thomas'
triple, a bloop single by Jack
Shepard, a walk and Bill Virdon's
single.
Virdon got three of the seven hits
given up by starter Tom Acker and
Buster Freeman who came on in
the fifth with two on and two
out. Freeman got pinch hitter
Bob Skinner on an outfield fly
and was never in serious trouble
the rest of the way. He now has
a 9-3 record.

Orioles 4, A's 3
KANSAS CITY - Bob Nieman's
10th inning homer broke a 3-3 tie
and gave the Baltimore Orioles a
4-3 victory over the cellar-dwelling
Kansas City Athletics last night.
The A's rallied for a run in the
eighth to tie the score and the
deadlock remained until Nieman
slammed reliefer Tom Gorman's
offering over the fence in left
center. It was Nieman's 10th homer
of the season.

Visser's Streak Broken
In I-M Playoff Contest
By The Associated Press
VICTORIA, B. C. - Michigan's
Barry MacKay had his first test
in Davis Cup competition this
past weekend and the results were
both good and bad.
The tall Big Ten tennis cham-
pion played in two of the five
first round matches here between
the United States and Canada. His
victory with 18-year-old Ron
Holmberg of Brooklyn in Satur-
day's doubles match clinched the
American zone semi-finals for the
U.S.
Sunday. however, MacKay wore
himself out in the first set and
suffered his country's only loss to
Paul Willey of Vancouver, B. C.,
14-16, 6-4, 6-3, 8-6. The 30 games
of his one winning set was a high
for the weekend's competition.
All in all, the United States had
little trouble with Canada. Ham
Richardson of Baton Rouge, LA.
won two singles matches. He de-
feated both Don Fontana and Bob
Bedard in straight sets. Herb Flam
of Beverly Hills, Calif. also con-
tributed a. singles victory over
Bedard.
Now the U. S. netters are look-
ing forward to next weekend's
American finals against Mexico at
the West Side Tennis club in For-
est Hills, N. Y.
Alrick H. Mann, Jr., chairman
of the Davis Cup committee has
again named MacKay to represent
the United States. He will be
joined by Vic Seixas, Sammy
Giammalva and Richardson. The
winning team of the Mexico-U.S.1
matches gets the chance to face
Italy in the next round of Davis
Cup play.
Seixas, 32-year-old court vet-
eran, appeared to be the United
States' best bet to recapture the
Cup from Australia.
While his teammates were down-
ing Canada, he displayed some of
his best recent form as he won the
Pennsylvania State Lawn Tennis
Championships in Philadelphia.

Hanley, along with most of the
other stars of the AAU meet move
on to next week's Olympic trials
in Detroit.

former of the meet here was Bill

lege. Yorzyk set records in three
events--in the 400 meter individ
ual medley at 5:19, the 200 meter
butterfly in 2:43.3 and the 100

the : ven Swim Club in the

tered six hits to win.

'Nlew' Rival 1
For Mantle
NEW YORK OP)-With the New
York Yankees moving comfortably
ahead in the pennant race, the
most interesting developments in
the remainder of the American
League season may come out of
the competition for the batting
title between Mickey Mantle and
Ted Williams.
Williams appears to be in the
best position to prevent Mantle
from winning his first champion-
ship. Harvey- Kuenn and Charley
Maxwell of Detroit, who have been
chasing Mantle for the last couple
of weeks, have dropped back.
Including Sunday's games, Man-
tle showed a batting average of
.370. Kuenn and Maxwell were at
.342.
The big question is-will Wil-
liams finish the campaign with 400
official at bats, the minimum re-
quirement for the crown?
The Boston Red Sox slugger has
been to the plate 219 times with
79 hits for a .361 mark. Williams
will have to average a bit more
than three at bats a game to hit
the 400 AB mark. Mantle contin-
ues to lead the Junior circuit with
32 home runs and 83 runs batted
in.
In the National League, Hank
Aaron of Milwaukee's pace-setting
Braves took over the batting lead
from Cincinnati's Ed Bailey.
Aaron gained two points to .338
with eight hits in 22 trips. Bailey
fell to fifth place as a result of a
24-point loss to .320.
Duke Snider of Brooklyn is tied
with Cincinnati's Ted Kluszewski
for the home run lead with 25.
