Browns Reaching Peak
In Bid for 9th Title

their record unblemished with a
1910 triumph over Washington.
Detroit beat st. Louis, 20-7, and
Chicago trounced Minnesota,
BOT, Saturday night.
In an American League ex-
hibition game yesterday, San
Diego walloped Dallas, 31-10,
in a battle of unbeatens and
brought its record to 40.
After Browns long jaunt, the
Steelers (2-2) scored on a A
yard pass from Bobby Layne to
Buddy Dial, but the try for the
extra point failed and that was
it. Cleveland Immediately put
the gameout of reach as Milt
Plum pitched a 20-yard I'd
strike to Rich Krietling then
followed with a 9-yard scoring
flip to Bobby Mitchell.
Jim Martin booted a 50-yard
field goal and Quarterback Earl
Morrall plunged one yard for a
touchdown as the Lions built
100 lead against the Cards
(0-3). Charlie johnson coun-
tered with a 27-yard payoff
pass to Bobby Conrad before
Detroit closed it out with a
five-yard scoring toss from Jim
Ninowski to Dan Lewis and
another Martin three-pointer.
The game cost the Lions the
services of Fullbacak Ken Webb
for at least a month with an
injured back.
The bears (2-2) clipped the
Vikings (0-4) with three long
scoring jaunts in the second
half. Willie Galimore galloped
81 yards for the first, Roosevelt
Taylor lugged a punt II yards
for another and Charlie Bivins
wound up the spree with a
30-yard blast.
MinneSota'S score came on
Fran Tarkenton's 9-yard bolt.

Setback, LA Victory
BY the Associated Press

oy tne associated Press
The hex that the Cincinnati
Reds have held over the Phila-
delphia Phillies all season sud-
denly has conked out and it
couldn't have happened at a
worse time.
The Reds figured that if
they ever went into a slide the
good old Phillies would pull
them out of it in a hurry. Un-
til yesterday they had won II
games from this without a de-
feat this season.
But something went awry.
Instead of meekly succumbing,
as the previous scripts called
for, the Phillies up and nipped
the Reds, 80.
To make matters worse for
the Reds, their chief rivals, the
Los Angeles Dodgers, edged the
San Francisco Giants, 5-4. So
now, Cincinnati's league lead
stands at 212 games.
Braves, Cubs Split
Elsewhere in the National
League. the Pittsburgh Pirates
dumped the st. Louis Cardi-
mails, 81, and the Chicago Cubs
and Milwaukee Braves split a
doubleheader. The Cubs won
the first, 6-5, and the Braves
the second, curtailed by dark
ness after six innings, Az.
The Phillies scored the win
ming run in the eighth inning
when pinch-hitter Yves Coving-
ton singled home Bobby Malk-
mus, running for Charlie
Smith, who had doubled.
Jim Owens held the Reds
to eight hits, including three
by Vada Pinson, and pulled
out of a dangerous situation
in the ninth when it appeared
the Reds might pull it out.
Meanwhile, veteran Gil
Hodges drove in two runs
one on a homer-to led the
Dodgers over the Giants.
Johnny Podres recorded his
18th victory and Tooth of his
National Leagde career, al
though he wasn't around at
the end.
P0dreS Is Chased
The Dodgers had all their
runs in the bag before the
Giants chased Podres on Or
lando Cepeda's two-run homer.
Dick Farrell finished up, and
survived rough going in the
last two innings, retiring Willie
Mays with the bases loaded in
the ninth.
Bob Friend had an easy as
Signment for the Pirates. He
was given a seven-run bulge
in the first two innings and
coasted all the way. Don Hoax
hit a bases-loaded double in
the first and Roberto Clemente
Clipped in with a two-run
homer in the second.
The Cubs slugged the Braves
in the opener on George Alt
mans triple with the bases
loaded in the eighth. But the
Braves turned on the muscle
in the second game and won
it on Joe Adcock's three-run
homer.

Mantle Back kinHomerRace
For Final Senator'S Series
Mickey Ahead
Of Ruth After
Nos. 4Q and so
BY the Associated Press


The New York Yankees still
can win the big ones-and
Mickey Mantle still can hit the
long ones.
Only a week ago, Mantle,
discouraged, conceded that he
didn't have much of a chance
Of breaking Babe Ruth's rec
ord of go home runs for a sin
gle season.
He had hit only one homer
in IA games and was beginning
to think he had finished for
the season.
But that's all changed today,
The powerful Yankee out
fielder has hit four in the last
five gameS-including Nos. 49
and so in yesterdays 8-5 deci-
sion that swept the Detroit
Tigers-and now he is two up
on Ruth's 60-homer pace OF
1927.
The other barrel of the
M&M shotgun, Roger Maris,
didn't connect, so his SO hom-
ers place him seven ahead Of
Ruth's pace.
Barber Wins
While Mantle bounced back
into the home run derby, the
Yanks stretched their lead to
Az games over the Tigers in
the American League pennant
chase. Ralph Houk'S operatives
swept the three-game set, and
while they still have a long
way to go to win the pennant,
the Yanks gave the Tigers a
tanning they won't forget.
In other American League
games, the third-place Orioles
blanked the Indians in II in
nings, 10, behind Steve Bar
ber; the White Sox won two
from the Senators, 5-4 and Al,
and the Red Sox turned back
the Twins, 8-6.
The scheduled Los Angeles
at Kansas City game was
washed out by rain.
Mantle's first homer in the
first inning came with MariS,
who had singled, on base and
sent the Yankees into the lead.
Right behind him Yogi Berra
blasted another.
Howard Also HOmers
Then, after the Tigers had
rallied and gone ahead in the
ninth, 5-4, up stepped. Mantle
and hit his second to tie the
game. Then, after Berra singled
and Moose Skowrou drew an
intentional walk, Elston How
ard-who had struck out on
three pitches as a pinch hitter
in the seventh-clubbed Ronnie
Kline's second pitch into the
left field bleachers to wind up
matters.
Mantle and Maris are the
first two teammates in major
league history to hit so or more
homers in one season and they
are only four away from the
record of lot set by Ruth and
Lou Gehrig in l927-Ruth go,
Gehrig At.
Barber gave the Indians five
singles, only one Of which went
out of the infield, in hanging
up his 10th victory. He leads
the majors in shutouts with
seven. The Indians Gary Bell
also was effective, yielding only
four hits in his 10 innings on
the mound.
But Bob Allen took over in
the 18th and issued two walks.
He was replaced by Frank
Funk who was greeted by a
single by Ronnie Hansen.
The Red Sox were aided and
abetted no end by Minnesota
errors. They sent two runs
across in the third when Pitcher
Camilo Pascual threw an at
tempted sacrifice into leftfield
and scored three times in the
fifth when Jim Lemon dropped
a line drive.

New York-Roy wilkins. execu-

sociation for the Advancement OF
Colored People, branded as an
incredible cover-up' the AFL-ClO
"censure" of A. Philip Randolph
president of the Brotherhood OF
Sleeping Car P0rters and the only
Negro vice president of the labor
federation.
The complete text of Mr.. VIII
kins' statement follows:
The National Association for the
Advancement of Col0red People
believes that the AFL-CIO's
"censure" of A. Philip Randolph
is an incredible cover-up. The so.
called report made to the Fedora
tion's Executive Council by three
man subcommittee is simply a
refusal to recognize the unassail-
able facts of racial discrimination
and segregation inside oranized
labor, as well as an evasion on
the part of the AFL-CIO leader
ship of its own responsibility in
unions.
The perfume used by the AFL-
CIO to try to smother the malo-
dorouS racism in lab0r's ranks
fades before the ironic fact that
the spokesman for the Executive
Councils Subcommittee which re-
buked Mr.. Randolph was George
M. Harrison, president of h G
