WIN, LOSE OR DRAW
How They Look at M & M
By FRANCIS STANN

MICKEY VERNON PAUSED on the
steps leading to the underground tunnel
at Griffith Stadium. Il should think it
helps both Maris and Mantle to play on
the same club" he said, "but also believe
that one big man could have threatened or
beaten Ruth'S record. Ted Williams might
have done it if he'd played in New York or
Detroit"
Yogi Berra, kneading new outfielder's
glove on the Yankee dugout: Yeah, I guess
Roger (Maris) gets few more strikes to
hit at because Mickey bats next-and
Mantle gets some himSelf-but if either
was playing for a losing club he'd still hit
q lot of home runs. Like if Roger or Mickey
was at Kansas City, which is behind a lot,
a pitcher would figure it wouldn't make
any difference if they popped home run
or not with nobody on base"
Gene Woodling, standing near the bat
ting cage: You're damn right it helps
not that Maris and Mantle aren't in a
special home-run class. know when was
at Cleveland hit ahead of Vic Wertz and
Rocky Colavito when they were having big
years, and the pitchers gave me lot more
pitches could hit. They couldn't afford to
walk me with those long-ball guys COM
ing up."
Ralph Houk, the Yankee manager,
thoughtfully chewed his cud of tobacco on
the bench. "The pitchers are in tough
spot whenever you've got two home-run
hitters coming up in succession History
proves it. Besides, there are other factors"
THE HISTORY TO WHICH Houk re-
ferred was that of Ruth himself and all
other Sluggers who closed in on the Babes
magic record of go homers in one season.
In nearly every case the prolific home-run
hitter had teammate nearly his equal
Ruth had Lou Gehrig, who hit At in
the '27 campaign. Jimmy Foxx, who belted
So for the Philadelphia Athletics in 80, had
AL Simmons not to mention Mickey Coch-
rane and Bing Miller. Hank Greenberg,
when he also hit SO in '38, had running
mate in Rudy York.
Most of those fellows were ahead of
my time" Houk said, "but remember the
combinations Did Hack Wilson have much
help of that kind?"
Hack did, indeed, when he set the Ma
tional League high of 56 homers in 80.
Gabby Hartnett hit 81 and Wilson was
flanked by such high-average batsmen as
Riggs Stephenson and Kiki Cuyler
Ralph Kiner was an exception,
think" Vernon said when he hit 54 for
the Pirates in 1949 he didn't have much
help. The Pittsburgh wall isn't easy for
righthand hitter and it was bad ball club,
too. Even when they moved in the fence
after getting Hank Greenberg it wasn't an
easy park Anyway, Greenberg was out of
the game in '49, leaving Kiner pretty much
on his own"

Records Fall, District Girl
Surprises in AAU SWIMMING

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 12
(AP).-Susan Doerr, 16-year-
old Philadelphia schoolgirl,
cracked a world record today
and 14-year-old Dale Barn
hard, an unknown from Wash
ington, D. c., provided another
surprise in the women's Ma
tional AAU outdoor swimming
and diving championships here.
Miss Barnhard, celebrating
her birthday, took the 100
meter breaststroke in a rous-
ing upset. She swan almost un-
noticed in the eighth and out
side lane and led all the way to
win in 1:22.6. The youngster
from the Congressional Coun-
try Club just barely qualified
for the final by winning a
swimoff for the last berth.
Robyn johnson, another
Washington area swimmer who
provided the major surprise
Friday, couldn't do it again
and finished second in the
400-meter freestyle behind Car
olyn House, a 15-year-old from
Los Angeles. Miss johnson,
from Arlington, Va, had beat
en- Olympic champion Chris
Won Saltza in the 100-meter

No matter what happens in
the future, the fellows who
play in the new District of
Columbia Stadium will find
that the fellows who built it
already had encountered the
most formidable obStacle-a
tougher schedule.
Only 80 more working days

Redskins. If that hardly seems
time enough to put in a new

a new 50,000-seat stadium.

Jim Merkle, a foreman on

seen anything like this project.
Everybody on this job is

all of 'em. We're going to get
it done somehow, don't you
worry about that"
We're shooting to give all
we can," says Frank DeMoss,
one of the project managers.
Maybe the entrances won't be
painted pretty and the con-
courses plastered, but all of this
will be done before the end of
the season"
Sciambi, who is the quarter
back of the whole big, fas-
cinating game, may have the
only complaint so far. AS a
Philadelphian, he wishes the
Redskins first game here were

Gene Green blasted his way
out of the doghouse with a
pinch-hit, grand-slam home
run that gave the Senators a
5-1 victory over the Yankees
yesterday at Griffith Stadium.
With his line-drive sock into
the left-centerfield bleachers,
Green put a sudden stop to the
Yankees winning streak at
nine games and his own clubs
losing streak at Seven.
Moreover. he gave Dick Don
ovan the backing he needed
to pick up his fifth straight
victory and lift his record to
8-8. Donovan set the Yankees
down on five hits, one of them
Roger Maris' 43d home run of
the season.

ors, was a dull nothing COM
pared to Green's smash that
pulled 20,273 fans, including
4,403 youngster- guests, out of
their seats in a mighty roar.
The victory, coupled with
Detroit's triumph over the
Twins. lifted the Senators into
seventh place, a game ahead
of Minnesota, and cut the
Yankees lead over the Tigers
to three games.
