from a visit to the nation of is
lands which began with their ar
rival on July IA after the long
ocean voyage across the Pacific

Their daughter, Caroline, &C
companied them, but returned
by air in time to resume her
public school teaching position in
Bon Air last month.
Brothers United
The trip memorable for nu-
merous personal reasons, was
made indelible by the reunion of
the four McIlwaine Brothers and
their families. Two were already
in Japan, the land of tn e ir
missionary and teaching work.

at the theological seminary at
Kobe on the main japanese Is
land OF Honshu. R. Heber Nc
HWaine is an American Christian
evangelist at Fukushima, on the
same island. Chalmers M. S.
Mc1lWaine, also on visit from
the U. S.. came from Chatta-
nooga, Tenn.
Permeating all was the
memory of the parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. B. McIlwaine, who de-
voted their lives for 43 years to
the effort to Christianize Japan
as Presbyterian Church, U. S.,
missionaries.
Memories swept back during a
5000 mile trek over three of the
Japanese Islands, for this tour

must support the drive to the
best OF our ability. OF course
We expect even greater contri-
buttons during the next two
weeks and we are looking for

The Community Chest goal for

highest goal ever due mainly to

Mickey Is So Healthy
1t Hurts the Yankees
By FRANCIS STANN

against the Reds In the fourth game
Mickey singled and hobbled to first base.
Houk noticed the blood seeping through
the bandage and staining his uniform.
That was all for Mantle.
But in this series he's been healthy.
%%
= WITHOUT MANTLE the Yankees never
have been awesome during these last II
years. He's been Mr.. Big. Two dark
horse clubs-Twins and AngelS-made a
run at the Yankees this season when
Mantle pulled thigh muscle, fell heavily
on his left knee, and was doubly hurt when
the other knee also acted up.
But he recovered and at the end Of
the season he still was the clubs top hitter
with 1921. When he could play Mickey was
the Yankees best in every offensive de-
partment.
His team has won when Mantle was
sub-par, but not easily. 1t has lost when
he was at his shining best, but not often.
The most notable exception was in the 1860
series, when the Yankees lost to the Pirates
in seven games despite Nantes 400 bat
ting average, II RBI and three home runs.
There is no excuse for Mantle this
time, but there has to be reason. And
that reason can only be the Giants mag
nificent pitching, notably by Pierce, San
ford, Marichal and O'Del.
SELDOM HAVE TWO series pitchers
on one club been as sensational, as near
perfect as Sanford and Pierce Both out
pitched Whitley Ford. Both were sharper
than Ralph Terry. Only Bill Stafford of
the Yankees approached the Giant pair.
Houk went all the way yesterday with
Ford, too far Pierce partially took the
manager off the hook. The closest the
Yankees could have come was 80 loss.
You could almost hear Houk talking to
himself when Ford was firing in the
fourth E.
Hes never done his best with so much
rest Whitley isn't good. Yet he's my
money pitcher"
Houk left him in during that three
run, three-hit inning. That was under
Standable, provided he intended to remove
Ford for pinch hitter. He didn't, although
the Yankees had two runners on base fol-
lowing Roger Maris' homer in the next
inning.
1t wasn't until the Giants tagged
Whitley for four more hits and two more
runs that Ralph pulled him. 1t smacked
of the blind loyalty that Pete Quesada
declared he couldn't afford when he was
preparing to lower the boom on Ed Doherty
& Co. Houk could have afforded it less

English Horse
Accepts Bid 10
International

The Washington, D. c., In
ternational, to be run on No
vember IL, at Laurel, gained a
challenger from England today
with the announcement that
Pardao, owned by Mrs. C. OIL
yer Iselin of Long Island, N. Y,
would represent Great Britain.
Pardao is the third overseas
acceptance for the 18th run
ming of the mile-and-a-half
International event. The other
two invites are Japan's Taxa
magahara and Frances Match
Sd, who finished fifth in the
Arc de Triomphe.
England will be seeking its
second victory in the Inter-
national. Wilwyn from the
British Isles won the first run
ming of the race 10 years ago
at Laurel.
Pardao, trained by Capt.
Cecil Boyd-Rochfort, who also
conditions a division of Queen
Elizabeth us racing stable, has
impressive credentials for a
crack at the international
prize.
The 4-year-old colt by Par
dial and Three Weeks won Eng
lands Jockey Club Stakes, and
finished second in the Ormonde
Stakes and fourth in the Coro-
nation Cup. In his latest start,
Pardao was a close fifth in the
Champion Stakes in which
England's top horses met.
His start in the Champion
Stakes was only his second
after sustaining an injury
which sidelined the colt for
most of the summer. Last year,
Pardao won the Gordon Stakes
and Derby Trial. In the Eng
lish Derby he was third.
Mrs. Iselin races horses in
the United States as well as
overseas.
John Schapiro, Laurel presi-
dent, has returned from his
trip to see the Arc de Triomphe

For LoVe|Iette

BOSTON, Oct. 16 (AP) -
Boston has bolstered its bid for
a record fifth straight National
Basketball Association cham
pionship by acquiring Clyde
Lovellette for pivot insurance
behind Bill Russell.
The Celtics closed the deal
with the st. Lehis Hawks late
last night, surrendering next
years second round draft
choice and an unannounced
sum of money for the 6-foot-9
SHOEMAKER.
Hes the guy we've been
looking for" chirped an ex-
hilarated Coach Red Auerbach
when he learned the deal had
gone through.
It had been known for some
time the Celtics' most pressing
problem was to secure some re-
lief for Russell, the 6-foot-10
defensive genius who has to
play almost every minute of
every tough game.
Lovellette, a nine-year MIA
veteran and one Of the men,
bers of the leagues exclusive

slow rounding into shape for
the Hawks in this preseason
period due to a foot injury!

WIN LOSE OR DRAW

ABOUT A LIGHT YEAR AGO-Specif-
ically on the morning of the World Series
opener-Ralph Houk happily was reporting
that his Yankees were as fit and ready as
they'd ever been during his managerial
regime.
"That goes for Mickey. too?" reporters
had asked this day in San Francisco.
Especially for Mantle" replied Houk
"Mickey's never been in such good health,
his legs never have been so sound"
Yet as the series today narrowed down
to the last 81 or 81 outs barring extra
innings) Mantle probably never has en-
ioyed prime health less. At game time
only one other prominent figure, Harvey
Kuenn, faced such winter of discomfort
It's inconceivable that Mickey should
be hitting only 091, with not home run
or even a run batted in for six games.
Nothing like this slump has ever befallen
him, and Mantle has been around for some
time. This is his 10th series. A regular
by any other name might have been
benched.
"THE WORST OF 1T is that in no
other World Series could follow the ball
so WELL" Mantle said before Billy Pierce's
brilliant three-hit, So victory. Candle
stick Park has great background for
hitters. And never saw the ball so plainly
at Yankee Stadium"
Mantle is the last guy to alibi. Ever
since he came up to the bigs in 81 he's
been plagued by injuries and ailments. But
there never has been way to measure his
physical anguish.
Those who have watched Yankee
trainers wrap his ankles, knees and thighs
with adhesive tape every day can only guess
at the price he's paid in the past to play.
Mantle never would reveal that he hurt
Hes got to be the guttiest player I've ever
SEEM" Houk has stated repeatedly.
But in this series he's been healthy
And, up to now, all but helpless.
MANTLE WAS ONLY. 10 years old when
he played in his first classic. He col
lapsed while chasing drive in the second
game. Joe DiMaggio retrieved the ball
and called time. Mantle was carried off
the field with a sprung right knee and
didn't return. The docs removed cartilage.

knee, same type of operation. In "a it was

Brown already has demon

countless knockdowns, Brown
already has four interruptions

the fourth quarter when they
seem to matter the most.
