Mantle's Display Of Power
Be Omen for Pirates
Two Blasts Here
Boost Mickey
Into Lead at 40
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star Staf IUrytar

There's an \ ominous cloud
hanging over the heads of the
Pirates. with the Yankees
Mickey Mantle supplying the
thunder less than a week before
the clubs clash in the opening
game of the World Series.
Mantle cracked pair of
home runs off Chuck Stobbs
last night at Griffith Stadium
as the Yankees extended their
winning streak to II games by
spanking the Senators, 6-3, be-
fore 5,519 customers.
Mickey, a big factor in the
Yankees late pennant surge. is
showing he could carry his
sizzling form into the series.
He took over the American
League home run lead with 40,
passing teammate Roger Maris.
Yankees Tie Record
Mantle's second blast was a
shot to be remembered. The
only player ever to clear Grif-
fifth Stadium's bleachers, Mickey
parked a f1fth-inning smash
three-fourths of the way up in
the left-centerf1eld bleachers at
a time when the flag was hang
ing Imply in center. When
Mickey slammed his tape meas
ure homer off Stobbs in 1853 he
benefited by strong wind.
Mickey'S 40th homer also was
the Yankees 190th, tying a
league record set by the same
club in 1856. The Yankees
have three games remaining
with the Red Sox at Yankee
Stadium in which to break the
mark. The major league rec
ord is 22l, set in 1947 by the
New York Giants and tied in
1856 by Cincinnati.
Mantle also homered in the
first lining off Stobbs. the loser.
after Bob Cerv singled. Cletis
Boyer thumped a two-run
homer before Mickey'S big
smack in the fifth, while Bob
Allison injected his 18th for the
Senators with none aboard in
the second inning.

Whitley Ford. the winner, ex-
erciSed five innings and yielded
two runs. In addition to Alli-
sons homer, he was clipped for
a run in the third when Zorro
Versailles doubled and Reno

Jim Coates checked the Sena-
tors for two innings, but they
obtained their final run off Luis
Arroyo in the ninth when
Harmon Killebrew walked and
Earl Battey tripled. Battey also
doubled as the Senators were
restricted to seven hits.

Beman Irked
By Errors in
World Golf
BY MERRELL WHITTLESEY
Star stan Writer

ARDMORE. Pa, Sept. 90
Deane Beman feels he turned a
potential 66 into a II in the
first round of the World ANA
teur golf team championship
yesterday through a couple of
mistakes he doesn't usually
make.
The % year old National
Amateur champion from Silver
Spring, Md, just can't wait to
tackle the famous Merton Club
course again today in pursuit of
Jack Nicklaus, who shot a 66,
and to win an undisputed place
on the United States team
which figures to win this event
hands down. NicklauS' Sc
eclipSed Iby a stroke the anna
teur course record set in the
1924 National Amateur by D.
Clark Corkran.
Only the low three scores
from each nation count toward
the 72-hole total. Beman, Bob
Gardner. Deane'S victim in the
National Amateur final, and
Bill Hyndman III all shot Ills.
So the United States is lead
ing by nine strokes with 208,
taking Nicklaus' Sc and any
two of the Ills. Mexico and
New Zealand are next with
2l7s. followed by Great Britain
Ireland with 218, and Aus
tralia'S defending champions
with a Disappointing PIG. Joe
Carr, British Amateur cham
! pion, had a 78 that was too
high to count in the England
Ireland total.
Best Driving Round
Beman is aggravated because
he played such a beautiful
placement-shot round over the
par-70 course and shot only II.
1T was the best driving round
of my life" Beman said. ."I
miss two green's in regulation
figures, make a couple of long
puts. and am over par. I
figure I should have had 66 at
the worst"
Beman four-putted a green,
believe it or not, and on the
185-yard ninth he wasted two
shots in the powdery looking
sand that actually was wet.
He dropped a 5-foot putt to
keep from taking a triple DOGGY
six on the ninth hole.
He -putted the sixth
from 40 feet. His first putt al
most hit the cup, but slid 8
feet past. His second putt ap-
peared it was going to die at
the cup but then rolled 4 feet.

Grodt, Larker,
Mays Taking
Battle 10 Wire
BY the Associated Press

It's Dick Groat 1880, Norm
Larker .3248 and Willie Mays
.3203 with four games left in
the race for the National
League batting championship.
Groat, the Pittsburgh short
stop who hasn't been at bat
since September 6 because of a
broken wrist, expects to return
in a tune-up for the World
Series as the pennant-winning
Pirates play a three-game
finale agaksst Milwaukee this
week end. The Bucs were idle
yesterday.
Larker was 1-for-3 as Los
Angeles defeated the Cardinals,
4-2, last night. The Dodger
first baseman doubled and
scored their first run, then
knocked in the clincher with
sacrifice fly.
Burdette Wins 18th
Mays, the San Francisco
centerfielder who is the only
past batting champion among
the three contenders, was hit
less in four trips and lost two
points as the Cubs licked the
birthplace Giants, 6-3.
Milwaukee whipped Phila-
delphia. 9-3, with Lew Burdette
winning his 10Th, in the only
other game scheduled in the
MI. That gave the Braves
l % game edge over St. Louis
in their race for Second-place
money.
In the American League, the
champion Yankees won their
18th in a row with a 6-3 de-
cision over Washington as
Mickey Mantle hit his 39th and
40th homers to take the league
lead. The Yankees tied their
own league record Of 100. Bos-
ton beat Baltimore, 5-4, with
Ted Williams hitting a home
run in his last at-bat and then
announcing his immediate re-
tirement. The loss cut the
Orioles Second-place edge over
Chicago to a half game. Kansas
City raped Cleveland, 40, be-
hind the three-hit pitching of
Ned Carver.
Larker, who has four games
left. one more than Groat and

But No Candidate Is Expected to Quit

The first full week Of April
sees the campaign for the
presidency get down at least
to bedrock.
The Wisconsin primary will
eliminate some uncertain
ties for the Democrats while

Gov. Rockefeller, relieved at

to face urgent questions about
his future. Vice President Nix
on will receive indications
from the voters which may

but could call for a wholesale
job of soul searching.
Contrary to some advance
reports, Wisconsin will settle
nothing. What it will do, to

In these days Of "payola"
and accusations of conflict

sions or agencies. it seems
strange that a big question
mark isn't getting much at
tention generally.
This is in the Department Of
Defense, and it concerns some
of the many generals and
admirals who have retired
from the armed services but
who draw big salaries from
defense contractors and
nevertheless maintain their
own sales contacts at the
Pentagon.
A House committee has
held hearings and uncovered
an unhealthy and question
able relationship between
former military officers and
the bureaus in the Pentagon
that award contracts. The
House Of Representatives will
vote Wednesday on a measure
that would prohibit any Off
Ger for two years after his
retirement from making any
sales contacts with the Pen
tagon.
House members generally
are agreed that the practice
should be discouraged, but
some of them want merely to
limit the penalty to a loss of
the retired pay. Other mem
bers say that it would mean
nothing for a retired officer
to give up two years of a pen
sion at $4,000 a year when
he is being paid a salary Of
$50,000 or more by a defense
contractor during each of
those same two years.

Ironically, he is to some ex-
tent the victim of his own
earlier good fortune. The fact
that he is-ofhcially at least
-unopposed for the G. o. P.
presidential nomination is a
mixed blessing. 1t would be
dangerous to act as though
it already was in the bag. So
he must walk softly.
He is having to keep all
openly political" activity to
the absolute minimum. This
means that the national spot
light. for now and for some
weeks ahead, is nowhere near
his vicinity. 1t has been play
ing hotly on the man the
Nixon people now believe will
be his Democratic antagonist
for the Presidency, Senator
John F. Kennedy of MaSsa-

a while to come.

Agriculture and Vice Pres
ident of the United States. He
was a pioneer in hybrid corn.
The egg company, with a vast
United States and foreign
business, is managed by his
son.
Since the United States
broiler is a hybrid. most Of
the baby chick shipments are
females. DeKalb and Nichols
market females only. Some
countries forbid imports of
chicks and require eggs which
local poultrymen may use to
hatch out. and grow, their
own egg producers and broil-
ers. There are, to be sure,
companies which grow the
hybrid roosters. Comparative
ly few of. these are needed as
a few of them will suffice for
a large flock of hens.
In Italy, for illustration,
Arbor Acre has recently TAX
en- over the so-called '"Citta
del Polli" and Nichols has in
vested capital in a large new
poultry enterprise near An
agni, both a short distance
from Rome. Dutch hatch
cries also export millions of
baby chicks to Italy.
AS an indication Of the
dominance of the United
States hybrid broiler strain,
both France and Denmark,
old-time producers of poultry,
have asked for introduction
of the American eggs and
chicks. A heavy percentage of
Swiss imports are American.
Large funds have been in
vested in modern feed-mixing
plants in every country in
Europe. In France a new
company, which will manu-
facture its own feed mixes
and deal in broilers. is of such
size it will, by the END of

all Europe.
The inevitable. Of course, is
happening. In those countries
