Mantle’s 50th
Cinches Flag
For Yankees
CHICAGO — Mickey Mantle
wrote a fitting end to the 1956
Amei'ican League pennant race
Tuesday night by blasting his 50th
home run which carried the New
York Yankees to a 3-2 victory over
the Chicago White Sox in 11 in
nings and their seventh title in
eight years.
The Yankees, those much des
pised, much respected and much
worshipped pin-striped business
men of baseball, were out of first
place just 10 days, and those ip
the first month of play, while win
ning their 22nd pennant to pad
their own major league record.
They took the lead for good on
May 16 and although they had to
wait until September to clinch it,
the race was all over on July 20.
Ags Take It Easy Tuesday
As Injuries Dim Chances
By BARRY HART
Battalion Sports Editor-
Three days remain before Satur
day’s season opener with Villa-
nova’s victory-minded Wildcats
and the look on Coach Paul Bry
ant’s face is grim.
“I haven’t got them hitting
anybody with any authority,
The Yankees, who now have won
just two flags less than the rest
of the now-active American Lea
gue clubs combined, went into July
with but a two-game lead over
Chicago’s White Sox. By month’s
end, they were nine games ahead
of Cleveland, 13 ^ ahead of Bos
ton. Chicago, the White Sox had
tumbled to fourth — 16 Mi games
back.
Since August 1, the Yankees
have played little better than .500
ball. But the July lead was insur
mountable.

yet,” viewed Bryant of his
team’s progress so far this
fall. There’s nothing reckless
about anything out there. We
are not the type of team that
will beat anybody tiptoeing.”
The Aggies took it easy again
Tuesday. Coach Bryant sent many
of the regulars in early and the
remainder went through a mini
mum of full-speed work.
“We’re not going to scrimmage
at all this week. We don’t want
to get anybody else hurt,” com
mented Bryant.
Six footballers were not suited
up yesterday and four probably
will not see any action Saturday.
Regular left tackle Charlie Krue
ger is out with an injured should
er and his talents will be sorely
missed in the Aggie forward wall.
“I doubt if Krueger will
play,” declared Coach Bryant,
"and I’m not going to play
him if he’s not perfectly well.”
Both second-line guards, Murry
Trimble and Tommy Howard are
sidelined. Trimble has a broken
rib while Howard is limping on a
hurt ankle. Third-string guard
Barney Smith was hurt in last Sat
urday’s scrimmage and is on crut
ches with a leg injury while ends
Lloyd Wasserman and John Tra
cey didn’t suit up Tuesday.
Bobby Lockett, senior tackle
from Breckenridge, looks like the
likely man to start in place of
Krueger, but may move into the
very dim right tackle picture.
“Lockett will start at one or the
other tackle,” pronounced the head
coach, “but I don’t know which
one yet.”

VILLANOVA’S BILL CRAIG—6-2, 220-pound sophomore
tackle due to see plenty of action in Saturday’s opener on
Kyle Field.
PITTSBURGH — Johnny Logan
belted a two-run single in the
eighth last night, enabling the
Milwaukee Braves to come from
behind and emerge with a 6-4 vic
tory over the Pittsburg Pirates.
The victory put the Braves into a
virtual tie with the Brooklyn Dod
gers who lost 6-5 to the St. Louis
Cardinals.
The victory moved the Bra
ves to within one percentage
point of the first-place Dod
gers. Brooklyn now has a
.604 mark on an 87-57 record
and Milwaukee is .603 with an
88-58 record.
The Pirates, who spotted the
Braves a three-run lead in the
first two innings, knocked starter
Lew Burdette out of the box with
a two-run uprising in the sixth
which put them ahead 4-3.
BROOKLYN — Brooklyn’s Na
tional League lead was trimmed
to one slim percentage point over
Milwaukee Tuesday night as the
St. Louis Cardinals, after blowing
a 4-0 lead, hustled back to beat
the Dodgers 6-5 on Ken Boyer’s
two-out, two-run homer in the
ninth inning.
The Cardinals, beaten five in a
row by the word champions, had
only three hits until the ninth af
ter a near-perfect twin relief job
by Ed Roebuck and Carl Erskine.

PHILADELPHIA—The Philadelphia Phillies, rapidly
earning a reputation as “spoilers” in the tense National
League pennant race, virtually blew Cincinnati out of con
vention last night with a twi-night doubleheader victory over
the Redlegs, 4-3 behind lefty Curt Simmons in the opener and
7-4 in back of Robin Roberts in the nightcap.

RESEARCH TEACHES US HOW to do things better and
cheaper. Telephone scientists are finding ways to make
equipment last longer and do a better job. We’re constantly
developing smaller, more compact equipment to save ma
terials. All these cost-saving ideas that we work out and put
into use mean savings for you—for without them, the price
of telephone service would have to be more than it is today.
Jr
WE WISH THESE DOLLAR-SAVING PRACTICES could ab
sorb today’s increased expenses of furnishing your service.
But it simply isn’t possible to offset completely the higher
costs of materials, higher taxes and higher payrolls. The
important thing to remember is that telephone service has
gone up far less than most things. Your telephone service is
still one of the best buys in your family budget.
