catcher-first baseman-outfield-
er, from the Indians today in
a deal that will involve one,
or perhaps two. players from

VIM LOSE OR DRAW
Mick Represents Last
Of Al Drawing Cards

MICKEY MANTLE could be all done.
Finished. Kaput. Not only for the rest of
this season but for his career as ball
player. Baseball people have been wonder
ing when the day would come when this
muscle-upon-muscIe athlete, who is singu-
larry brittle, might have to call it quits.
They tread cautious verbal path, most
of them. However, Ralph Houk, manager of
the Yankees was blunt about it because, as
he told us one day: with Mantle it's day
to-day proposition. You never know, when
he runs hard, whether itll be for the last
time"
Al Lopez, manager Of the White Sox
and as much an admirer of the pain-ridden
Mantle as Houk himself, also speaks
bluntly Hes a wonderful player and
great kid" Lopez has said for years, "but
you can't write lineup with his name on it
a day ahead Of game"
AL this was before /. long before
Mickey's present misfortunes, which have
involved broken bone in foot and, top
ping 1t off, loose cartilage in knee region.
Some pessimists doubt If he'll ever play
again-regularly at least.
FRANKLY, HOPE IT'S not as bad as
it's been painted" Lopez said before the
departure Of the White Sox from our town.
Naturally, the Yankees without Mantle
aren't as formidable. But we-the Ameri-
can League-need Mickey"
Hes the last Of the individual draw
ing cards, isn't he2" 1t was suggested who
else in the American League is box officer"
"Well, don't know" Lopez replied. IT
guess that would be right, although we've
got fellow who might sell tickets on his
own some day. Dave Nicholson"
The inquisitor impatiently brushed
aside this idea. Nicholson" he said, "does
not sell any more tickets than an umpire.
Maybe in Chicago, on small scale, but not
when the White sox are on the road"
II only meant that Nicholson was a
potential drawing card" Lopez protested.
"He isn't now. At the present time it's Man
tie and he isn't playing"
ssss
"How IMPORTANT is the one guy who
pulls people into parkp" Lopez was asked.
I'm talking about a player who makes q
school teacher or a government employee or
any other -the-street come home
and say TO his wife: Let's go to the ball
park tonight and see so-and-so.'"
"He's not as important as close race"
lopez said, but you can't deny his value.
People paid TO watch Babe Ruth speci-
fically. They turned out when Bob Teller
was pitching. When Ted williams retired

best all-around ballplayer in the American
League" the other guy cued "And what
about Roger Maris2"
"Kaline can do everything" Lopez said.
HE can rum, field, hit and throw. But he's
not box office. Maris {. 4. well, toward the
end OF 1861, when he was threatening
Ruth's homer record E. was a gate pull.
Maybe he was, too, early the next season.
But Mantle is the last to make the
hypothetical school teacher go to the ball
park"
IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE the mat
ter of the individual draw doesn't present
quite such bleak picture. Lopez thought
Immediately Of Willie Mays. "A helluva
ballplayer. Exciting even when he's in a
slump, which lasts about 10 minutes"
We put the question to Bucky Harris
last night in the press box at D. C. Stadium.
Who what individuals :. Is or are
capable of drawing customers who other
wise might not go to ball parkP"
THE National League Is pretty lucky"
Bucky said. They've got Mays. And be-
sides Mays I'd say that Willie McCovey has
become a box-office draw because Of his
home runs.
'If were fan think I'd have TO pay
my way to see Sandy Koufax pitch. 1t
might be no-hitter. He might strike out
20 batters. Then I'd have to guess that
Maury Wills belongs"
Frank Robinson?" he was prompted.
"Hank Aaron2"
''Near-perfect players" Bucky sighed,
"but not box office. They're so much like
Kaline."
THERE NEVER WAS a drawing card
to match Ruth, of course, but baseball men
agree that Joe DiMaggio, williams, Mantle,
Teller, Jackie Robinson, Stan Musial and
Mays have been the name" players of
more recent times.
Herb Score was on the verge Of join
ing the group" Lopez said sadly. "Then he
got hurt and that was the end. Robinson
was exciting in his own right and 1t didn't
hurt him to become the first Negro to break
into the major leagues
"Musial has been so wonderful for so
long, but don't know If he brings many
people into park on his own anymore. He
practically owns the National League rec
ord book. Every time he scratches his head
he seems TO set new record, and the fans
have lost track Of his achievements.
Stan is quiet guy, anyhow. A real
pro. There aren't many individuals who sell
tickets on their own anymore. At least in
our league. still, as said before, there's no
substitute for close pennant race"
And that is becoming vanishing COM

He slapped a curve ball to

it glanced off Hershberger's

Hershberger told thinner

The White Sox tagged him for

 According to Dr. Wilson, the ob- jectives of the Summer Science Training Program" are to identify those high school students who possess high ability in the sciences and to aid in their scholarly growth by giving them an opportunity to study under recognized scientists. A third goal of the program is to foster cooperation between colleges and high schools by stepping up'' education in the sciences.
 Dr. Wm. R.
