500 team with their ace out
of the lineup. ,1.f +
Certainly we're going to
miss a player like Mickey"
Houk said. Hes worth every
bit Of the 100000 he's making.
But that doesn't mean we're
not going to win BAH games.
We amt going to lay down
and die" $3.50 1922
Houk made his comment in
the clubhouse after the YAM
KEGS had scored the tie-break-
ing run on q disputed call in
the eighth inning. The argu-
ment arose when Tom fresh
banged into Oriole Catcher
Dick Brown, Earring the ball
loose as he cooked his arm to
throw to first base on an at
tempted home-to- first double
play.
The ball rolled loose and
Rober Maris, who earlier had
hit a two-run homer, came
around with the winning run.
That gave the victory to
Whitley Ford, 7-3.
Houk said he had three of
four possible lineups to use In
Nantes absence. depending on
the opposing pitcher and the
park where the team is playing.
Same Old Story
II could use Joe Pepitone In
center with Dale Long or Harry
Bright on first base. = be said.
"Or. I could put Tom fresh In
center. and Hector Lopez in
left. Or Jack Reed. who
Is an moderated ballplayer,
could be used in center with
the rest Of the lineup as it is
now"
Il really don't know what
happened" Mantle said after
he returned to the Yankee
clubhouse from the hospital.
II don't think 1 jumped. I
think I was moving back and
my spike caught in the fence,
twisting my foot"
Last year Mantle missed 30
games during May and June
and the Yankees struggled
along at q 500 pace When he
returned to the lineup, they
spurted ahead and rolled on to
their 18th pennant in the last
IA years. The story has been
much the same this year.
Bothered by o rib cage injury
early IA the season, Mantle
missed nine games. The YAM
KEGS lost five. The Yankees have
played 800 bali overall, .639
with Mantle in the lineup.
When he was carried off the
field in Baltimore, Mickey had
q $40 batting average with Ii
homers and rs runs batted in.

Don thinner, the Dodgers
utility infielder who is q 10
year man in the National
League, has been made avail
able to the Senators.
Chuck Dresser, who is here
on . scouting mission for the
Dodgers, has talked to General
Manager George Selkirk and
Manager Gil Hodges in the last
two days, and the Senators are
believed to be interested.
There is a chance that a de-
cision will be made on a deal
with the Dodgers before the
Senator'S try for the fourth
straight victory in tonight's
game with the Red Sox.
This will be a Knothole Club
game, and it's also Ladies
Night. AS always, the Knot
holers are asked to enter Gate
d or Gate e. 60 to the desig-
mated areas in the upper deck
and remain there until they
depart for home. Adults may
sit with them.

Dave Stenhouse Is scheduled
to pitch for Washington and
Gene Conley for Boston. They
were. held over when last
nights game was postponed be-
cause Of an electrical storm.
The game will be made up as
part Of a twi-night twin bill
August 2.
Jim Duckworth, who snapped
two recent Washington losing
streaks. will delay his home
debut as a starting pitcher I'M
til tomorrow night, when Cleve-
land moves in to open q three
game series.
II thinner is picked up by
the Senators, he will no doubt
be used at third base, where
the club has suffered all season.
Hodges and thinner were
teammates on both the Dodgers
and the Nets.

but plenty Of distance.

Doctors Put
Leg in Cast
Up to Knee
BY the Associated Press

Mickey Mantle, the Yankees
injury-prone super-star, Is on
the sidelines today with q broken
bone in his left foot which may
keep him out Of action for six
weeks. @
The 31-year- old centerfielder,
playing with typical all-out
effort, suffered the injury while
trying to haul down a home
run hit by Brooks Robinson of
the Orioles in the sixth inning
Of last nights game, which the
Yankees won, 4-3, to regain
first place by four percentage
points over the Orioles.
While trying to make the
catch and prevent the Orioles
from tying the score, Mantle
backed into the wire fence
about 40 feet from home plate
with his glove hand raised
above. his head. His spikes APP
parently caught in the fence
and his foot twisted as he fell
to the ground.
| Leg Put in Cast
x-rays taken at, Union Me-
mortal Hospital disclosed q
fracture Of the third meta
carpal bone - about midway
between the toes and the ankle.
His leg was put in 8 cast up
to his knee.
DR.. Erwin Mayer, the Orioles
team physician who treated
Mantle, said the cast probably
couldn't be removed for two to
three weeks, and it might be
two or three more weeks after
that before Mantle can play
again.
Manager Ralph Houk said he
would await further advice
from Or. Sidney Gaynor, the
Yankees team physician, be-
fore deciding whether to put
Mantle on the disabled list,
which would mean, at least so
days Of inactivity. The Yankee
star was to return to New York
