Wichita Falls continued its
march up the Big State League
ladder Tuesday night, stopping
Austin 14-4 and moving into sec-
ond place. Two nights ago the
Spudders were in fourth place.
The hard-hitting, climbing club
actually gained no ground on lea-
gue-leading Tyler. The East Tex-
ans beat Texarkana 5-3 and still
hold a game and a half edge on
the Spudders.
In probably the best game of
the night Longview won over
Bryan 1-0. Temple drubbed Paris
10-6 in the league’s final action.
Wichita Falls slammed out 15
hits, routed Austin ace Dean
Franks and piled up a lead of
14-2 in the first five innings of

Q
CINCINNATI (A) — Has the
All-Star injury jinx struck again?
* Casey Stengel was a mighty
worried man today as he took
his league-leading New York
Yankees into St. Louis for a
three-game series.
News that Mickey Mantle found
it painful to walk following the
aggravation of a pulled leg mus-
j cic in yesterday’s All-Star Game
was even more distressing to the
grizzled pilot than the American
League’s 5-1 defeat at the hands
of the Nationals.
The pain was so severe that
Mantle may not be able to play
against the Browns tomorrow
night. The switch-hitting star
won’t be sure until before game
time but all he knows is that
his leg is“hurtin.”
Stengel was blaming himself
teday for Mantle’s re-injury. He
permitted Mickey to play in the
All-Star Game against his bet-
ter judgment. It wasn’t until five
minutes before the start of the
game that Casey decided to yield
to Mantle’s insistence on playing
In the seventh-inning, Mickey
hit a sharp force-play grounder
to shortstop, and in putting on
speed to avert a double play, re-
injured his left leg. The young
slugger was playing with a taped
leg, hurt for the first time two
weeks ago, and re-injured last
ders are the highest ranking
North club.
Hank Wyse and Dale Pringle
combined to defeat Texarkana.
The pair gave up ten hits.
Dick Drilling, Longview right-
hander, overcame the Bryan Ma-
jors with a four-hit shutout and
defeated Joe Pipak. All four of
the hits off Drilling were singles
and he allowed only one runner
to reach second.
Left fielder Charley Tuttle,
banging two homers and driving
in three runs, fronted an 18-hit
Temple attack that swamped
Paris.

Sunday against Washington.
The crowd of 30,846 cash cus-
tomers saw a game entirely dif-
ferent from what they had anti-
cipated. Expecting to see the
sluggers knock down the Crosley
Field fences, the fans saw in-
stead the pitchers all but com-
pletely dominate the hitters. No
home runs were hit for the first
time since 1944. There wasn’t
even a measly triple. The only
extra base hit was a two-bagger
by Peewee Reese that could have
been held to a single with sharp-
er fielding.
In all, 15 hits were made, 10
by the victors. Robin Roberts,
Warren Spahn, Curt Simmons
and Murry Dickson, in that or-
der, held the American Leagu-
ers to five singles. They had a
two-hit shutout until the ninth
when singles by Ferris Fain,
pinch hitter Johnny Mize and
Minnie Minoso off Dickson
provided the only AL run.
The defeat was the fourth
straight for the American Lea-
gue as well as for Stengel, who
has yet to win an AllStar Game.
The Yankee manager has more
luck in the fall, however, as his
four World Series triumphs at-
test. The American League still
holds a 12-8 edge after the 20th
game.
The National League attack
was paced by Enos Slaughter
and Reese, a pair of veteran All-
Star performers. Slaughter, now
a 10-year-man in All-Star play,
gave his greatest performance.
He rapped two hits, drove in a
run and scored two. He also
stole a base and electrified the
crowd with a brilliant diving
catch in the sixth inning.
Reese, hitless in eight pre-
vious All-Star Games, drove in
two runs with a single and
double. Stan Musial got two hits
but they didn’t figure in the
scoring.
The Phillies’ Richie Ashburn
also contributed to the National
League’s scoring. His pinch single
off loser Allie Reynolds drove in
the first of two fifth-inning tallies
and broke a scoreless deadlock.
Dickson drove in the final Na-
tionals’ run with a single off
Satchel Paige in the eighth. The
hit followed singles by Roy
Campanella and Slaughter.
The Americans received shut-
out pitching from southpaw Billy
Pierce to match three scoreless
innings of pitching by Robin Rob-
erts. Each allowed only one hit.
Spahn, who received credit for
the victory, hurled two hitless
innings before giving way to
pinch hitter Ashburn. Simmons
permitted one hit in the two in-
nings he pitched.
Dallas Tuesday
ny THE associated PRESS
Shreveport was back at the
head of the Texas League Wed-
nesday. It took the Sports five
days to regain the top spot and
Dave "Bobo” Cyrus did the hon-
ors Tuesday night, whipping Dal-
las 6-2 on a tidy six-hitter.
The Eagles dropped to second
place.
Third-place Fort Worth drub-
bed Beaumont 8-1. The fourth-
place Tulsa Oilers kept pace and
protected their first division
berth with a 10-8 win over San
Antonio. Oklahoma City nipped
Houston 3-2.
Cyrus allowed only two Eagles
to reach base until the eighth in-
ning when he lost his edge, gave
up three hits and two runs. The
big right-hander, winning his
.tenth game, struck out 7 and
walked only one. He defeated
Jose Santiago, Dallas right-hand-
er, who is slated to start the
All-Star game Friday for the
North.
Glenn Mickens, Fort Worth’s
hard-luck right-hander, got 12-
hit backing and easily whipped
Beaumont 8-1 on eight hits.
Vic Marasco, chunky left-field-
er and the fleet right fielder,
Gale Wade, were behind the big
Fort Worth night. Both blasted
homers.
Tulsa banged out 18 hits, for
28 bases, and won over San An-
tonio but had to scrape down the
wire with the Missions. San An-
tonio had 12 hits and drove over
four runs in its last two times
at bat.
The Oklahoma City Indians
got a run in the ninth inning af-
ter two were out to dump the
Buffs on their "Old Timers”
night.
Frank Kellert singled over Zip
Zunno with the winning run.
