THE PLAIN SPEAKER; AZLETON, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER-10T1959 PAGE 24 American Loop White Sox Won Flaff Inl9I9But Sfcngol Explains WlyotGry: 'Hfc SHI1 Wante Eta titte RuMi' 1 Tluew World Series; 8 Players Banned For Link With By HARRY GRAYSON NEA Sport Editor NEW YORK (NEA) There are "several reasons for this edition be-ting the worst Yankee club in 34 'years, not the least of "which is Mickey Charles Mantle being about 1 to establish a new club mark and taking dead aim at the major league strikeout record of 138. Mantfe increasing instead of reducing his strikeout totalis one of the deep mysteries of baseball, especially this season when he is sounder physically than since he first showed up as a lS-yeaPold Class shortstop suddenly made into an outfielder. What's wrongT' "Well, I'll tell you," says Casey Stengel, next to- Mantle the-one most vitally concerned. "Almost from the time Mickey the Phoenix camp in the spring of 1951, all of you guys described him as another Babe Ruth. I am as guilty as anyone.

1 suspected he might be, too, and didn't pull any punches popping off about him. -That goes for a lot Of sound baseball people, including Joe None of us ever saw such a recruit. trouble is precisely -v. i rrent Pnlr Ai the ChJcK White Sox head for their first Jl CU I run American League pennant in 40 years, much of the credit is going to Luis Aparicio, left, and Nellie Fox. Their fielding lifted the team to the top.

i -flMoaa" Having been called another Babe Ruth, Mickey wants to stay that way. You cant blame him for that. Another Babe Ruth would get $100,000 a year." Led In Homers Mantle has led the American League in. home runs in three of the last four years with 52. in 1956 and 42 last trip and trying desperately to repeat could be the Oklahoma Kid's biggest problem.

Miir in t' ii iliin n'" rit it I Mickey Mantlo 'Mickey is like, a -card player who refuses to play his ace," says Perfesser' Stengel, "which would be to bunt his way out of a slump. This despite the fact that he has more all-around ability than any other ballplayer I have ever seen, Gamblers mm it has gone to two men Judge Landis and Babe Ruth-and right-j ly so. I Ruth, wiht his snub nose, moon face and pipe stem legs, sold the nation on the home run. A year after the scandal broke the Babe hit 59 home runs. In 1927 he hit 60.

His career total of 714 may never be matched. After the 19t9 season, Ruth's sale to the Yankees had much to do with saving the Boston Red Sox, a team deep in debt. The Yankees paid $125,000 for the Bambino and loaned the Red Sox $350,000 to day debtors. With Babe came the lively ball. And with the lively ball in the last 30 years came about two dozen sluggers with ideas of cracking Babe's One-season windfall of CO homers.

It seems as though the record is baseball's greatest monument and will never be broken. His slugging feats have made most old timers forget baseball's biggest scandal of that World Series 40 years ago- In Standstill past' Willie Tasby. Southpaw Jack Harshman (6-9) beat his ex-mates with a five-hitter in a duel with Milt Rookie Jim Perry (11-7) then beat the Birds with a five-hitter in the second game. The Indians broke a 1-1 tie with singles by Minnie Minoso and Rocky Cola-vito off Skinny Brown (9-8) in the sixth. Kesack And Dunsmore Sparkle In Workouts HERSHEY (iEnds Bill Kesack and Jim Dunsmore continue to sparkle in daily workouts at, the University of Pennsylvania football camp here.

In a workout yesterday, Kesack, a senior from Allentown, was the star pass catcher. He grabbed off seven of George Koval's tosses for over 100 yards. As a collegian, golf prop Mike Souchak played end on the Duke football team. END OF MODEL RUN ana ii mi By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS It was 40 years ago that the Chicago White Sox last won an American League pennant. But the outcome of the 1919 World Series is something all baseball would rather forget.

That was the year Ty Cobb of Detroit won his 12th and last batting title; hitting .384. It was the year pitcher-first baseman-outfielder Babe Ruth hit an unprecedented 29 home runs foi the Boston Red Sox. But it was also the year that gamblers reached some of the White Sox with offers to throw the World Series to the Cincinnati Reds. There were some queer goings on in that series, ultimately won by Cincinnati, 5 games to 3, after the Reds 'had taken the first two games. The first game found the White Sox at their lowest.

Eddie Cicotte, a 29-game winner, was knocked out in the fourth inning. The Reds won 9-1. Claude Williams, a. 23- game Sox winner, the second game, 4-2. Cicotte lost the fourth game, 2-0, Williams the fifth, 5-0, and the eighth, 10-5, on a four-run first, inning.

Criminal Conspiracy When it was learned after the first two games that smart money was being wagered on Cincinnati, some people in baseball, including a few sports writers, became suspicious. However, it wasn't until a year later that a Chicago Grand Jury indicted 13 persons, including eight White Sox, on charges of criminal conspiracy. After the 1920 World Series, baseball unanimously selected Ken-nesaw Mountain Landis, a Chicago Federal judge, as its first commissioner. Judge -Landis, who was to rule the game with anron that the eight White Sox would never again play" organized baseball, regardless of the court action. The original Grand Jury indictments and papers were stolen.

In July of 1921 the eight players went on trial. On Aug. 1921 they were acquitted. After the ver- Indians Win, By THE ASSOCIATED PFiESS You might say the Cleveland Indians have been streaking along at a standstill in that American League pennant chase. They've won six in a row, seven of their last eight and 15 of the last 20.

Yet the Injuns are right where they were when they started 4 games behind Chicago's first-place White Sox. The Tribe has lost only five times in 20 games since dropping four in a row and falling 4Vi games behind Chicagd on August 18. But those five defeats have kept them on a treadmill, for it was the White Sox who handed Cleveland all five. Sox Also Win The Sox, who have a 17-7 record in that same span, won their fourth in a row and reduced their magic number to 12 by beating Washington 5-r Wednesday night as the two contenders opened their last trips through the East. Cleveland stayed with 'em by sweeping a twi-night dmiblehead- i er at Baltimore, beating the Orioles 3-2 and 4-1.

Still, any combination of 12 Chi-cago victories and Cleveland de-; feats will give the White Sox their first pennant in 40 years. Cusate's Cops Opening Playoff With Latfimer KEYSTONE SOFTBALL POST-SEASON PLAYOFFS Last Night's Score Cusate's 2, Lattimer 1. Tonight's Game 6 P.M. Cusate's vs. Lattimer at Heights.

Cusate's edged Lattimer last Hlght at the HeighU field, 2-1, in the first of three games for the Keystone Softball League post-season championship. Cusate's can wrap it up by defeating Lattimer at the HeighU tonight. 'If Lattimer wins tonight, a third game will be necessary. Johnny Bobby of Cusate's and Joe Tanner of Lattimer were locked in a scoreless hurling duel until Cusate's broke the ice with two runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. Chick Bezick led off with a single and Bobby drew a walk.

Charlie Brown was safe on an error load the bases.

And a Joe DiMaggio points out in discuss- mg Mantle, "You can't be successful and be reaching for things. The ball must be hit where it is pitched and that with rare exceptions should be in the strike zone. Perhaps the most unusual thing about the Mantle enigma is that he nas played brilliantly in the field while in his protracted slump and swiped 21 bases. He has even curbed his temper. Maybe he grew tired of Stengel admonishing him after he had kicked everything Within reach in the dugout, "The water cooler didn't strike you out, son," Queried about Mantle's difficulties, Enos Slaughter, the veteran, says, simply, "His timing is off." Maybe Mickey Mantle needs a new alarm clock.

S. ring prominence. Brown of Houston, won the non-title charity bout here in one minute and 50 seconds' of the fourth after Kerwin suffered a gash over his left eye. Referee Jack Dempsey, the former heavyweight king, halted the nationally, televised fight, called the ringside physician to examine Kerwin and awarded the match to Brown.

"This was my dream fieht and I lost it," wept Kerwin, "I'm sorry a nappenea tms way. I was coming strong and the punch didn't hurt me." The 24-year-old from Ottawa had oeen out of action for about a year and hoped to use last night's bout as a steoDins stone.

Black Sox Label The Chicago White Sox of 1919 became known as the" "Black Sox." And they had a hard time living down the-tag. The scandal just about wrecked the Sox.

The White Sox, out-hit 7-6, made it 11 in a row over the last place Senators by breaking a 1-all tie in the seventh. They scored four runs in the seventh on a walk, two errors, Al Smith's single to center, Jim Rivera's single off the shin of loser Tex Clevenger (7-4), a bunt single by Bob Shaw and Luis Aparicio's sacrifice fly. It was Little Looie who counted their first run, getting around with a walk', his 51st stolen base, an infield out and Jim Landis' fly.

In fact every race was hotly contested and on one occasion some of the i drivers entertained the fans with an added boxing bout, but nothing serious turned out of the affair other than a short suspension and a fine invoked by, officials of the Lehigh Valley Racing Asso ciation. However, the drivers lose their tempers in the heat of battle, but it is soon forgotten and in a short time they'll be back battling it out once again.

Marty Acker, high point man at the Evergreen oval enjoyed a good weekend and increased his lead considerably, however, his closest rival, George Wolfe, was forced to sit out Monday's race because of a suspension, which enabled Acker to dump further in the lead as he copped the feature event on Mon- nay afternoon. Sunday's card will consist of three 12-lap heats, a 15-lap consolation, and the ever popular action packed 30-lap feature. Many new cars are expected to be on hand for the daytime races and the field should be the largest of the season. With rest and exercise over the winter, I think I can be real good next he said. If he is, it will be a change from the sort of luck he's been having.

Hejoined the Phillies in 1947 as a bonus player and in the past decade has been a mainstay of the pitching staff. But bad breaks and injuries have kept him from greatness. In 1950, he was 17-8 in mid-August when he had to leave for the service as the Phils won the Na. tional League pennant. In 1953 he was really rolling, but he sliced off his big toe while cutting the lawn' with a power mower.

In spite of that he finished with a 16-13 record, his second best, t-, In 1954 there was real trouble. He pitched once with three days rest and from then on the stiffness never seemed to leave his arm. What will he do if the arm goes bad next season? "He replied: I Til be okay next spring."
