Mantle Likely
ToBeIdIeUntiI
Fourth Game

NEW YORK, Oct. 5 (AP).-
Mickey Mantle definitely will
not play in today's second game
of the New York Cincinnati
World Series and most likely
will not return to the lineup
until Sunday, when the YAM
KEGS and Reds meet in the
fourth game.
The Switch-hitting slugger
who slammed 81 home runs for
the Yankees during the regular
season, hasn't fully recovered

Mantle said emphatically last
night. The wound is still
draining and very painful.

righthanded but I can't swing
lefthanded at all. Also, I can't
throw and I can't run, either"
Since the Reds intend to
follow Highlander joey Jay
Itoday's' pitching choice, with
Bob Purkey, another right
handler, in the third game
Saturday, it is very unlikely
that Mantle will play until
Sunday. when Cincinnati Man
ager Fred Hutchinson is ex-
pected to come back with
lefthander Jim O'Toole, who
pitched a six-hitter in a losing
effort yesterday.
Mantle took batting practice
yesterday, swinging only from
the right side. The first time,
he couldn't hit ball out of
the infield. In his next turn
in the batting cage, he tagged
a couple in typical Mantle
fashion, one ball winding up
in the leftfield bieachers.
Roger Maris, the other half
Of the smuggling M and M twins,
had a bad day at the plate. He
failed to hit safely in four tries,
popping up, striking out,
grounding out and fouling out

The ball was curving a little
