Mantle topped the American League in slugging for the third time with a .687 average, statist ics computed by The Associated Press disclosed Wednesday. Rob inson, in capturing the National League slugging crown for the second year in a row, amassed a .613 percentage. Mantle accumulated 353 total bases in 514 at bats. The 30-year- old switch-hitter collected 16 doub les, 6 triples and 54 homers among his 163 hits. He was the slugging leader in 1955 with .611 and 1956 with .705. Last season Mantle produced the most total bases, but finished second to teammate Roger Maris in the slugging race. This year Maris, whose 61 homers set a season record, compiled the most total bases, but it was Mantle who topped the sluggers. Robinson accounted for 334 total bases in 545 at bats. The 26-year- old right-handed swinger delivered 176 hits, including 33 doubles, 7 triples and 37 homers. In 1960 his winning slugging percentage was .595. Slugging averages are figured by adding the total number of bases on all hits and dividing the sum by the times at bat. Norm Cash of Detroit was run- nerup to Mantle with .662. The Tiger first baseman, who led the American League in batting with a .361 average, accounted for 354 total bases in 535 trips. Cash collected 193 hits, a league high. Jim Gentile of Baltimore con nected for 314 total bases in 486 at bats for a .646 percentage to rank third. He collected 147 hits. Orlando Cepeda of San Fran cisco finished second to Robinson with a .607 mark, racking up 355 total bases in 585 at bats. His 46 homers were high in the league among his output of 182 hits. Milwaukee’s Hank Aaron, hold er of the slugging crown in 1959, was third at .594. His 358 total bases were the most in the league | for the third straight season.
