1t was the 10th National

The date was the earliest in
modern history that the National

clinched. However, the 1904
Giants won the flag in 1877 games
while the 1853 Dodgers needed
142 games. The schedule ran

To Hit Goal as
Mats Win, 4-3
Vernon Loses Point
To Cleveland Star
Despite Two Hits
By Burton Hawkins

The Mats Bob Porterfield sum-
moned a sweeping curve from
fast-fading energy to fan dam
gerous AL Rosen for dramatic
game-ending out with the tying
run on third base yesterday at
Griffith Stadium to defeat Cleve-
land, 4-3, and become the first
American League pitcher to win
20 games this season.
Porterf1eld, who had a shutout
going for seven innings, allowed
six of the Indians 13 hits in the
last two innings, when Cleveland
threatened to foil the right
handlers bid to become the Mats
first 2D-game winner since Roger
Wolff in 1945.
The Indians clipped him for
two runs in the eighth inning to
slice their deficit to AZ and
scored another run with two out
in the ninth on singles by Luke
Easter, Bobby Avila and Dale
Mitchell.
Hits Two Vicious Fouls.
Rosen, who obtained three hits,
fouled off two vicious drives
one of them inches outside the
leftfield line-before Porterf1eld
fooled him on low curve for the
third strike which Catcher Ed
Fitzgerald dropped but quickly
recovered and fired to Micky
Vernon at first base. The strike
out was Bob's fifth of the game
and established a personal high
for the season at "a.
Porterfield, supported by an
11-hit attack, thus became the
third Washington pitcher in Is
years to win 20 games. In addi-
ton to Wolff, Leonard reached
that figure in 1899. Bob ended
activity for the year against
Cleveland with a SO mark and
moved his former teammates
the Yankees, closer to their fifth
straight pennant. Spec Shea
another former Yankee now
with Washington, has Az
record against the Indians.

5OO-Foot Homer Hit
BY Mantle; Yankees
Need Only 4 Wins
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Mickey
Mantle crashed his third 500-foot
homer of the season this after
noon as the Yankees over
whelmed the Tigers, 1874. The
21-year-old slugger hit into the
third deck of the distant left
field stands with two aboard in
the seventh inning when the
Yankees scored eight times.
The Yankee victory, plus
Washington's 4-3 victory over
Cleveland, moved New York
within four games of it's fifth
straight pennant. Four New
York wins or four Cleveland
losses will clinch the flag. The
two clubs open a three-game
series here tomorrow.
Mantle'S tremendous poke was
only the third hit into that sec
tor of Yankee Stadium in nine
years. Zed Eaton, a Detroit
pitcher, belted a grand slam off
Hank Borowy in July, 1945, and
Walt Dropo, Tigers first base
men, hit one there off Whitley
Ford on June 81 of this year.
Billy Hoeft, 21-year-old left
handler, was the victim of the
clout, which seemed to be as
hard hit as Mantle's famous
562-footer in Washington last
April II.
Hoeft and Jim Mcdonald were
duelling about evenly, with the
Yanks leading, 4-3. as the home
team came to bat in the seventh.
