Moris Makes His Bid

At time when Broadway bookmakers
were willing and eager to bet that neither
Roger Maris nor Mickey Mantle would
beat the Babes record of co. Maris has
made another run at the mark. The bookie
now may take wager on Mantle, but
hardly on Maris, who needs seven to tie
with % games left.
For a time, the Yankee home-run
twins had come close to Stalling in their
bids. The long balls they were hitting with
such abandon earlier were coming less
frequently.
September always has been the month
to doom the Ruthian challengers because
this was the month in which the Babe
was at his most prolific back in 1927
Seventeen he clouted in his last 27
games, including the 155th, and the final
one of the season in which he went hitless
No other slugger came close to this
pace.
The Yankee twosome, especially MariS,
now is claiming that American League
pitchers are conducting an ll-out give
'em-n nothing" campaign. For over two
weeks" Maris complains, They've been
pitching me low balls inside or outside
Nothing is over the plate"
In recent game with the Minnesota
Twins the count to Maris reached three
balls on three occasions. Il walked once
but could have walked each time" Roger
reported. But you can get hit off bad
ball once in while, so 1 was swinging"
RUTH STARTED HIS closing drive on
September 2, homering off Walberg of the
Philadelphia Athletics. Four days later he
belabored the Red Sox pitching, twice
combing Weller and once Russell The next
day he homered twice off MacFayden and
Harriss, also of the Red Sox.
These were clouted on the road Ruth
finished out the SeaSon-September II
through october lin Yankee Stadium
He picked up his last 10 homers in the
final IL games
The shadows are supposed to be at
their worst in late September In the
three-tered Yankee Stadium this is espe-
cially true. In the outfield, particularly in
right, a blue-gray fog seems to hang
There is a haze not unlike that created
by the smudge pots of Florida.

LAST FRIDAY NIGHT the years big
geSt crowd-655 566-iammed the stadium
to watch the Yankees and Tigers open
their vital series. On September %, 1927,
when Ruth hit Nos. So and SO, there we're
10000 watching.
The wire services almost sloughed over
the possibility that on September 80 the
Babe might smash his own 1921 record of
59 He did. On IL count he hit his Goth
off Tom Zachary of the Senators in the
eighth inning.
Public tastes change. If Mantle or
Maris was on the verge of hitting 81 there
wouldn't be ball park big enough to hold
the customers On the day Ruth hit his
Goth there were only 5000 in Yankee
Stadium.
In The Star and other metropolitan
newspapers the next day the Babes feat
was played down. A twin sports page ban
ner read: "Clinching Flag Difficult for
Pirates" and Football Gets Into Full
Swing Today" The Associated Press moved
a pm. story of seven short paragraphs
telling of the Babes achievement.
&*
EVER SINCE MARIS and Mantle
reached the 3Os in home-run production
reporters, magazine journalists and TV
cameramen have been wearing out the
carpet in front of their lockers. Any small
remark by the great men was jotted down
and boarded like priceless gem.
There is no evidence that Ruth was
mobbed in the dressing room. The copy
from the wire services that was used the
next day didn't carry Ruthian quote
The AP squandered one paragraph by
saying, Figure demons estimate that if
Ruth's 416 home runs (his lifetime total
to that point were pieced together they
would reach so miles"
Apparently the Babe, flushed with
triumph, wasn't invited to tell in his own
words how he felt. Nobody seemed to ask
the classic question, What did you hit off
Zachary, Babe?" The poor guy didn't even
get chance to testify that over the season
the pitchers weren't giving him good
pitches to hit.

U. S. Walker Cuppers Blast British
As Bemon Beots English Champion

SEATTLE, Sept. 2 (AP).-
Americas razor sharp amateur
golfers renewed their lease on
the Walker Cup for another
two years today by polishing
off the British, Ill, in a rec
ord-equaling rout.
To Charlie Coe, non-playing
captain of the American side
four years ago, went the dis
tinction of clinching the vic
tory. the eighth straight for the
United States since the British
won their only title in 1888.
Coe stormed home a 5 and 4
winner over Mike Lunt, 26-
year-old textile distributor.
Prior to Goes triumph.
Deane Beman of Silver Spring
Md, had registered a 3 and 2
victory over Mike Bonallack
in a battle Of national cham
pionS, while Bill Hyndman of
Philadelphia crushed Dave
Frame, z and 6.
Those three triumphs plus
the clean sweep by the Ameri-
cans in yesterdays foursomes
meant that the Americans had

tries of this biennial golf clash.

although the Americans shut
out their rivals in 1886, 80,
with three matches halved.
Only Martin Christmas was
able. to stem the American
tide. He trium phed over
Charles Smith of Gastonia,
N. c., 3 and 2. Christmas closed
out the match when Smith
drove into the lake on the 34th
hole, then sent his third into
a trap.
Other triumphs were by DR..
Frank Taylor of Pomona, Calf,
g and 2, over James Walker;
Jack Nicklaus of Columbus,
Ohio, who mastered Joe Carr.
Is and 4; Don Cherry of Wich-
ita Falls, Tex. who defeated
Maj. David Blair, 5 and 4, and
Bob Gardner of New York,
who closed out the British mas
sacre with a 1-up triumph over
Ronald Shade.
Biggest disappointment of the
day was the collapse of Carr,
three time winner of the Brit
iSh Amateur who had been
paired against Nicklaus in the
headline clash. Carr opened
with a string of five As and
could have built up a COM
manding edge but he putted
weakly and his bids for brides
died an inch. short on both the
second and third holes.
On the seventh he drove his
tee shot into the gallery and
he spent the rest of the day
wandering in the woods. Nick
laus was simply too powerful
and too straight.
Bonallack, who came here
with the announced intention
of getting revenge for the drub-
bing Beman handed him two
years ago in Muirfield, Scot
land. when the Yanks won, 9-3,
was too cautious on the greens.

Three More Scores
The next time the White Sox
came to bat they had more fun.
Floyd Robinson singled to right,
Jim Lands was hit by a Kip
pstein pitch, and Roy Sievers
dropped a single into short CEN
ter. Minoso forced Sievers, but
stole second and scored the
third run of the inning on a
line single to right by Nellie
Fox. That made it, 80.
Bouldin, a June graduate of
Cincinnati University, looked
like a veteran in his first in
ming of major league pitching
He retired Sievers, Minoso and
AL Smith without any of them
hitting the ball out of the
infield. But in the fifth, a
walk and singles by Larsen
and Robinson gave Chicago an
other run and a 90 lead.
The Senators rallied for foul
runs in the fifth. Harry Bright
singled, then suffered another
Sprain of his right ankle
rounding first. He was replaced
and will be out indefinitely.
Singles by Chuck Cottier anc
Coot Veal, the latter an infielc

sacks. O'Connell unloaded them
with a two-base hit that just
failed to go into the leftfielC
bleachers. He went to third or

A pair of walks and a single
by O'Connell narrowed the
margin to 9-5 in the seventh.
The White Sox scored two

timore youngster who spent one
year at the University of Mary

only 6 hits in his last so at
bats, put the IS year old
Yankee thumper eight games
ahead of the pace Babe Ruth
set when he hit a record so
homers in 1927.
Maris' first blast, a high fly
into the lower right field stands
on a 80 pitch off the right
handler Larry, put the Yankees
into a. 80 lead in the sixth.
His second, a line drive into
the same lower stands off
southpaw Hank Aguirre, capped
a four-run burst that put away
the victory in the eighth.
Maris' double, a ringing drive
to right center, led to the tying
run in the fourth inning -
hunted home by Mickey Mantle
after Detroit jumped to a 20
first-inning lead on Rocky
Colavito's 40th home run with
AL Kaline on base.
Mantle Now Trails Ruth
Mantle, failing to homer, fell
one game behind Ruth's pace.
In four times at bats, Mantle
walked, sacrificed, grounded
out and beat out a bunt. He
has 48 home runs.
1t was disclosed after the
game that Mantle pulled a
muscle in his left forearm in
the sixth inning and couldn't
swing after that. Manager
Ralph Houk said he didn't
know how serious the injury
was but Mantle volunteered to
stay in the game for defensive
purposes.
Ralph Terry, lanky young
right-hander, won his 18th
against two losses with relief
from Luis Arroyo in the eighth.
The little southpaw relief ace
was making his 55th appear
ance of the season.
1t was the Yanks' second
successive triumph over the
Tigers with tOmOrroW'S single
game left in their showdown

A crowd of 50,261-bringing
the two-game total to nearly

played match that was a cliff
hanger until the Yanks blew it
apart in the eighth.
Larry. after allowing only
three hits in the first seven
innings, gave up a single to
Arroyo with one out in the
eighth. Bobby Richardson's
single sent Arroyo to third and
Bobby took second on the throw.
Tony Kubek's single scored both
runners and Larry departed

The count was 81 when
Maris hammered No. SO off
Aguirre. his 18th homer off a
left-handed pitcher this season.
Mantle beat out bunt for g.
single before Aguirre could
finally retire the side.
League Record Set
ColaVito's home run, follow
ing a single by Kaline, was a.
record setter in a year Of
records for home runs. With
Maris having So, Mantle 48,
and Jim Gentle of Baltimore
43, and Colavito 40, the Ameri-
can League has four players
with 40 or more homers for
the first time in its history.
The previous mark was three,
Lou Gehrig, Hal Trosky, and
Jimmy Foxx-in 1896. The
National League record is six.
The Yanks got their first
run in the second inning when
Mantle walked, took second on
Elston Howard's fly to deep
center, and scored on a double
by Bill Skowron.
Maris' double opened the
fourth. He took third on

Pitcher Tom Cheney of the
Senators, out of action for five
weeks with a rib injury, re-
turned to duty yesterday and
suffered an acute attack of
fractured control.
Cheney didn't survive a wild
first inning in which the White
Sox scored five runs as a start
ing point toward an 1877 vic
tory over the Senators.
A faithful gathering of 1889
sat in on the proceedings at
Griffith Stadium and watched
with horror as Cheney, a right
handler purchased from the In
ternational League in July,
gave up one single, walked five
batters and threw two wild
pitches.
John KllppStein, who fol-
lowed, was raped for three
runs and six hits and next
came a couple of rockies, Carl
Bouldin and Roy HeiSer, up
from the Middlesboro CKy0
team in the all-rookie Appala-
chan League.
Six Pitchers Work
Pete Burnside and Mike Gar
cia moved into the parade to
the mound, and alltold six
pitchers yielded Is hits and II
walks. Seven of the II men
who walked scored.
The Senators showed enough
otfenSe to win most games.
They collected IL hits, with
Danny O'Connell getting three
of them, including two doubles,
and driving in four runs.
The loss came on the heels
OF Fridays night victory which
snapped a 14-game losing
streak. The Senators now have
lost 25 of their last 80 games.
The White Sox have beaten
them II times in 16 meetings.
The two clubs wind up their
personal competition for the
year with a double header to-
day at Griffith Stadium.
Cheney, who last pitched
July %, carried a IL record
into the game. He started off
by serving a single to Luis
Aparicio, but got rid of him
on a neat pickoff. Cheney
walked the next three batters
and thrw two wild pitches be-
fore he got the second out, an
infield play on Minnie Minoso.
He then walked the next two
batters to walk himself to the
locker room. Two runs were in
and the bases were loaded.
Sherm Lollar greeted Kip
pstein with a blooper to right,
Gene Green just failing to
catch up with it. Two more
runs scored.
