Although he hit only two homers to give him 44 for the campaign, Mantle gained ground in the batting derby. Mickey boosted his average two points to .364 while Boston's Ted Williams, in the No. 2 spot, slumped three points to .342.

What's more, there is a gap of 15 points between Williams and the two players deadlocked for third place Harvey Kuenn of Detroit and Bob Nieman of Baltimore. Kuenn moved up three points to .327 while Nieman, one of the Orioles' pleasant surprises, gained six points to move up from sixth place. Mantle also drove in five runs to lift his league-leading total to 112 while Al Kaline of the Tigers, last season's batting leader, also picked up five RBI's for an aggregate of 99. The records include Sunday's game. Ted Kluszewski, big muscleman of the Cincinnati Redlegs, had a productive week.

He moved up one notch to fourth place in batting with a .314 mark and, by driving home nini runners, took over the National League runs batted in lead with 93. Stan Musial of the Cards is second with 91. Duke Snider of Brooklyn still is the senior circuit's top man in home runs with 34. He had only one last week while Kluszewski walloped a pair, giving him 33. Frank Robinson of Cincinnati and Joe Adcock of Milwaukee, each of whom slammed three circuit blows last week, follow with 32 apiece.

Game time is 5:45 p.m. The two teams, along with Dover, deadlocked for first place at the end of the season race, and on Saturday Zion View ousted Dover by 6-0 on a no-hit, no-run effort by Russ Hoover.

NEWCOMBE ILL Milwaukee UP) Manager Walter Alston of the Brooklyn Dodgers revealed that Don Newcombe, who started yesterday's game against the Milwaukee Braves, became sick in the fourth inning, complaining of an upset stomach.

Newcombe was relieved by Don Bessent in the sixth inning with the Dodgers trailing 3-0. It was only the third time in 11 starts Newcombe had failed- to go the distance. Dr. Harold Wendler, the club physician, said it was nothing serious, just an upset stomach, and he expected Newcombe to be available for his next starting New York UP) Al (Red) Schoendienst, a tower of strength for the New York Giants since his acquisition from St. Louis June 14, has stroked his way into the thick of the National League batting race.

The 33-year-old switch-hitting second baseman hopes to win the title that, narrowly eluded him in 1953 when he finished second to Brooklyn's Carl Furillo. Red had' a .342 average to .344 for the Dodgers' outfielder. While Wally Moon of the Cards and Milwaukee's Hank Aaron changed positions atop the individual standings last week, Schoendienst moved into third place. The angular redhead showed the largest increase among the leaders, climbing nine points to .320 with 14 hits in 35 times at bat. He has hit safely in 14 of his last 15 games.

Moon, the Cards' rightfielder, took over the lead by gaining seven points for .333. Hehad 12 hits in 28 trips. Aaron, the pacesetter a week ago, fell into the runnerup Curt Roberts Clouts Four Homers In Game For Columbus Nine Columbus, Ohio Columbus second baseman Curt Roberts became the fifth player in the 73-year history of the International league to crash four home runs in a single game here last night as the Jets defeated Havana, 10-7, in the opener of a twi-night doubleheader. The 5-8, 165-pound infielder, who had two previous trials with Pittsburgh in the National league, became the first Columbus player ever to hit four roundtrippers in a game. It was also the first time the feat had been accomplished in a Columbus ball park.

Roberts' heroics were good for six runs-batted-in. The 27-year-old infielder's first home run came in the first with one on, his ensuing two were solo blasts, and his finale was registered in the sixth inning with one aboard. His third, in the seven-inning game, was an inside-the-park homer. The last International league player to hit four home runs in one game was Bob Seeds, who did it for Newark against Buffalo May 6, 1938. Russ Arlett pulled it off twice for Baltimore both times against Readiner first on June 1.

1932. and then on July 4 of the same season. "The other two IL players to do it were Bill Bottenus of Buffalo, against Wilkes Barre on May 12, 1895; and Rochester's George Kelly, against Reading on June 24, 1919. course and a 37-3471 over the 6,367 yard Red course. R.

College Football Needs Commissioner, States Bobby Dodd Atlanta UP) The framework of the NCAA is not strong enough to control scandals in college football, Georgia Tech's coach Bobby Dodd said yesterday. Dodd called for establishment of a commission or commissioner, from outside college football to serve as the enforcement agency for the sport. "There are a lot of answers to this problem," Dodd said, "but I have found that you can cure anything if the people want to badly enoughAnd if you make it tough enough on violators, people will learn to live by the rules." Later, Dodd explained that he had in mind the same type of enforcement agency as that governing professional baseball. The Georgia Tech coach and athletic director made his proposal during a talk before an Atlanta Civic club. Wally Butts, athletic director and football coach at -Georgia, said the strongest deterrent to recruiting violations would be coming from the recently established ethics committee 'of the American Football Coaches association.

"I believe the ethics committee can do more to influence right thinking along recruiting lines than the NCAA," Butts said. "I know a coach and school would surely be embarrassed if they were brought before a committee of coaches and called down." The Qualifying Today In U. S. Amateur Four members of Walker Cup team and beaten finalist in 1955 among golfers seeking berths for National Amateur tourney, slated, for Sept. 10-15.

New York UP) The beaten finalist in last year's National Amateur golf championship, four members of the 1955 U. S. Walker Cup team and a host of other top-graTle players will pit their skill against par today in what may well be the toughest test of amateur golf. The occasion is the 36-hole sectional qualifying rounds for the 1956 Amateur championship at the Knollwood club, Lake Forest, 111., Sept. 10-15.

This cuts the record entry list of 1,612 golfers down to the manageable number of 200 to compete in the all-match-play tournament. Thp mmDetition in this one-day test probably is more severe than in the tournament itself in spite-of the hazards of 18-hole knockout matches. Fewer than one in eight players can even make the main event. Only nine of the 200 places to exempt players. Five qualified last week at San Francisco, including sensational young Ken Venturi and former Walker Cup player John Dawson.

Lanky, greying Bill Hyndman III, the week-end player who went all' the way to the final last year-before taking a 9 and 8 drubbing from Harvie Ward, is one of those who has to fight it out with the field for a qualifying spot. He is among 53 players shooting lor seven places in the Philadelphia district. Another is Jimmy McHale, a member of three Walker Cup teams, who reached the fifth round of thev1955 amateur. Booe Not Entered Hillman Robbins the former Intercollegiate champion who lost to Hyndman in the semi-finals 7 last year is one of 16 entries at New Orleans but Bill Booe, the other beaten semi-finalist isn't entered. Robbins, now an Air Force lieutenant, recently won the World Wide Air Force title.

Walker Cup players who still have to qualify are Billy Joe Pat-ton. Jimmy Jackson, Don Cherry and-captain Bill Campbell. Patton looks to be in for some real competition. He's in a 96-man field at Hickory, N. which includes long-hitting Dave Smith, Ray Taylor, Charles Dudley and a flock of other good players shooting for eleven qualifying places.

Another strong field is at Tallahassee, where five places are open for 43 players. Among them are Jim McCoy, a quarter-finalist last year, Jake Howard and George' Swift, who reached the fifth round, clouting Hobart Man-ley and former intercollegiate champion George Hamer. In addition to McCoy, 1955 quarter-finalists Joe Campbell, Ed Hopkins and Chris Kunkle all are among those trying to qualify. Venturi, who almost turned the Masters tournament topsy-turvy last spring when he led the pros for three rounds, shot a 36-hole total of 152 last week to earn one of five qualifying places at San Francisco. Others who qualified there were Dawson, runner-up in the 1947 championship; Henry Timbrook Ed Castagnetto and Bob Roos.

Ward, the defending charnpion who is exempt from sectional qualifying, rounds out a strong San Francisco delegation. Other exempt players are Charlie Coe, Dick Chapman, Willie Turnesa and Chick Evans, all former U. S. Amateur champions; Bob Sweeny and Joe Conrad, former British Amateur titleholders; James (Junie) Buxbaum, of Memphis, the current Public Links champion, and Harlan Stevenson of Long Beach, recent winner of the U. S.

Junior Amateur championship. At Portland, yesterday, two ex-Walker Cup golfers won two of the three northwest berths in sectional qualifying. Bruce Cudd of Portland and Dick Yost of Seattle, the Walker Cuppers, joined Ralph Dichter of Astoria, as -the northwest entries Cudd and Dichter fired identical rounds of 72-73 145 over the par-72 Portland Golf club course. Yost fired a 72-74146. Bob Atkinson of Portland won the first alternate's spot with a 72-76148.

At Chicago, Bernie Katz, a 215-pound manufacturer of ladies blouses, led 24 Chicago area qualifiers Katz shot a over the two par 72 courses at 'Twin Orchard country club. He had a 36-3672 over the 6,093 yard Yellow 20 ONE OWNER CARS (Vith References) 1 955 Mercury Hard Top, 1 1 .000 miles, well equipped 1955 Chevrolet 4 dr.
