Mickey Mantle Hits 22nd Homer Of Year By MILTON RiniMAN I’nited Press Sports Writer One stroke of Mickey Mantle’s bat—literally a lightning shot in the dark was all the Yankees needed to put some daylight be tween them and the second-place White Sox. That stroke by Mantle with one out in the 10th inning Monday night resulted in his 22nd homer of the season, a blow that pro duced a 3-2 victory oVPr Baltimore and stretched the Yankees’ lead to two games over Chicago. Mantle walloped nis homer off ace reliever George Zuverink, who had entered the game after the Orioles had tied the score with a run in the last of the ninth. The Yankee slugger had the satisfaction of winning the game before 45.276 fans, largest crowd ever to witness a major league night game in Baltimore. South paw Whitey Ford, making his first appearance since being sidelined with a sore shoulder. May 21, was credited with the victory in relief although Bob Grim had to bail him out when the Orioler threat ened in the bottom of the 10th.

And there was a hard-bitten ole gal named Mae Noell with the carnival. She and her husband rar the Ape show in which the ga<; was that local kids, proud of theii brawn, put on the gloves with rea' live chimpanzees and tried tc knock them to the floor. A chim paiizee can more than kill a mar if it feels like it, but most of the kids didn’t know that and there were plenty of them ready tc fight. ' 1 She was a rough-looking worn an, and the show she ran was not exactly kiddies play, but the most important part of Mae Noell’s life when she came through here last summer was—teaching. During the week, she taught the little kids traveling with the carnival from schoolbooks. On Sundays she whipped up a Sunday school and sitting on the Merry-Go-Round or out under the Octopus, her band of dirty-faced kids heard the story of Jesus on the Mount and Jesus Tempted. The parents of these kids were frantic at the mere suggestion o! having their pictures taken. The> were afraid the cops of some other towns might see their honest mugs and know where they’d gone. Anc the kids themselves — bearing un mistakably the marks of their par entage — will certainly grow- up tc be Gypsies, whether mercenary or not. SOME OF THE FOLKS around Dunn didn’t like the carnival that came last year. That w'as obvious at the time. Long before the show left town, the strippers w'ere wear ing their dresses neck-high, the proprietors of various little gyps were grumbling at the over-abun dance of law men and Sherifl Claude Moore was bounding after some scalawag to make him take back an insult to a lady. There were repercussions even after the show left town for a few of the carnival folk beat it from the Hotel Cottondale without pay ing their bill Later apprehended, they were found about to do the same thing in another city and one of th^ men was convicted both there and here for this fraud, Carnivals certainly have theii share of cheap tricksters, burl> wrongos and memorable phonies From the milk bottles down, the re’s hardly a game in the conven m mm > jneiy IKE’S CHOICE—Career dip lomat H.

Well — toyed with, say, or having the quality of looking like a cinch and being just next to impossible. Some of them are impossible — can’t be won at all — and if the operator feels like offering winners a trip around the world, he can do so be cause there aren’t going to be any winners — Does it really matter? For twenty-five cents, you can win a Japanese fan that’s easily worth a cent and a quarter. For a buck, if you’re an unusually sharp fellow, you might win a plaster horse that sells, in gross lots for a nickel each. But you have had the ten-minute short course in howr to beat the public and the tuition of 95 cents is not a bad bargain. You may remember that two years ago the world’s worst weight-guesser set up his stand on the midway here. He charged you fifty cents to let him guess your weight — or your age, if you pre ferred. And he always missed. For fifty cents, you received a gift that was worth almost as much as you had paid — maybe a quar ter. He was a storekeeper, with only slightly more mark-up than the average, and this was his way of moving goods. But the other carnival people didn’t care for this gent. They curled their lip at his fair-square ways. “He’s just selling things,” they sneered. To real carnival people, unless you’re really rooking the custom er, you’re not keeping in the grand tradition. To be honest in the car nival, is not respectable. Well — MR. BROCK AND COHORTS plan to bring in a clean carnival this year and that, certainly, will be better than no carnival at all. But he is in a state of misery, too, because he finds local sup port for the fair at a very low ebb. “After giving the town a twice over,” he wrote some two weeks ago, “I’ve sold only $147.50 (of advertising places).” Brock has been back several times since then and things may be picking up a little now. But it seems sad that a full helping of support is not available for one of the potentially bright things av ailable to Dunn during the year. The American Legion, which is the sponsoring agency for the fair, has some worthy causes in mind to benefit with the fair’s proceeds — the hospitals, for one, and the Legion baseball team. Quite aside from anything directly charitable it accomplishes, this event remains important because, after a hot summer, a purely play-time activity is plainly, call ed for. It’s something we owe our selves. They tell me that once this fair was a grand occasion. It was wi dely advertised as the major fes tivity of oncoming Autumn for all the people of four counties. Now adays the sponsors are pulling in their horiis. They even talked of dropping it altogether. They are more inclined to call it the “Har nett County Fair” than a four - county fair. The vision droons. Surely there are fair-lovers so mewhere who will be there when the sawdust is down and the ferris wheel is whirling like a harem of fire-flies. Or are we just walking zombies with no punch, no zip, no bam. no whiz, no zowie, no whee? Last year the man who ran the Bingo game wanted to beat me up because, I guess, he thought I lacked respect for him. But he was wrong. The people I disres pect are those who don’t run Bin go games, who don’t like carnivals and who find no fun in this sum mer night’s madness.
