Left to right, Virginia Sports Roundup By MURRAY ROSE (for Gayle Talbot) NEW YORK \#—We see where the Russians still are squawking that some of their boxers were robbed in the Olympic tournament. They’ve launched a protest with the International Amateur Boxing Federation and have sent copies of the protest letters to member countries. The Soviets claim the Western nations ganged up and gypped at least four of their gladiators of decisions. Specifically they pointed to the following four matches: Jurig Sok- glov vs France's Joseph Ventaja; Anatolj Perov vs Argentina’s An- tonio Pacenza; Aleksandre Zasuuk- hin vs Britain’s Fred Reardon, and Anatolij Bulakoy vs Germany’s Edgar Basel. We saw all of those bouts. The Russians were fairly beaten in all and in at least two thé hammer and sickle boys took a sound shel- lacking. What burns up the Soviet big- wigs is that they apparently had high hopes of cleaning up in the boxing tournament and winning the unofficial team ‘title of the entire games. As it turned out, the U. S. won with 614 points to Russia’s 553%. We scored 50 points in the boxing on our five first placers. Russia had to settle for only 24 points. In their protest letter, the Rus- sians also charged that the Iron Curtain countries didn’t get a square deal in the numbe of judges and referees assigned to the tour- naoent. Col. Rudyard Russell of England promptly replied “that was not true. “There was a very strong rep- resentation indeed of referees and judges from Russia, Czechoslo- vakia, Romania, Hungary and Po- land,” said Russell, who is honor- | ary secretary of the I, A. B. F. | There was indeed. Some of the Iron Curtain officials were the worst “homers” we ever saw. The Russians also tried to do }a little sideline coaching, which | is prohibited by the rules. Coaches Fe seconds are supposed to keep quiet while the bouts are on. That didn’t prevent the Russians from trying to give their punchers some advice. The Russians undoubtedly know that their protest won't change the | results of the past tournament. | But, as ysual, they’re taking a long range view, Apparently they figure that any squawking they do now | will give them a little edge for | 1956, TRISH STAFF SCATTERED NOTRE DAME, Ind.

Kaye. MICKEY MANTLE: PACED YANKEES By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK #—Two main con- clusions may be drawn from the World Series which ended Tues- day with Brooklyn again in mourn- ing, for the sixth time. The first is that Mickey Mantle, a 20-year-old from Oklahoma, is destined to become recognized within a few more seasons as the greatest baseball player in the his- tory of the game. The kid can’t miss. There’s no defense against him. The second, equally inescapable, is that Casey Stengel, the bemused manager of the New York Yankees, gets advance information from the elves before he makes each move, It would be difficult to prove that he isn’t the smartest pilot the game has seen. His coaches are eonvine- ed that he is. Mantle’s contributions to his club’s 4-2 Series clincher yester- day at Ebbets Field were more spectacular than Stengel’s. Every- one in the arena saw the “Phee- nom” clout the home run and the single in successive innings—the first lefthanded, the second right- handed—to put victory beyond reach of the Dodgers, Nobody saw the wheels whirring in Casey's head when he waved in Bob Kuzava, to pitch to Duke Snider, the hottest of the Dodgers, with the bases filled and only one out in the seventh inning. But they were whirring, all right, and it is almost certain that Stengel knew the blond southpaw from Wyan- dotte, Mich., would stop the Na- tional ‘Leaguers lead from there on. Provided he does not go into the service, Mantle will be still bet- ter next year. In only his second season the kid has done everything for the Yanks that Joe DiMaggio did, in an inspirational way, There was some debate Wendes- | day whether Mantle or Johnny Mize the old codger, was the outstand- ing Yankee in the Series, In this spectator’s opinion, k was no con- test. Mize, # is true, came in when }things were not looking too good | midway of the series and made a number of tremendous contribu- tions to the Yankee cause. In fact, he put them back in the contention when they appeared to be licked. | But Mantle was in there all the | way, searing Brooklyn pitchers to j} death and fielding like an angel. | He led the assault which enabied j the Yanks to tie it at 1-1 behind vie Raschi on Thursday. He pro- j vided the insurance second run in | Allie Reynolds’ Saturday shutout | by tripling in the ninth and scoring jon Pewee Reese's error, His home run on Monday proved the winning run in the 3-2 Yankee | victory which sent the playoff to | ithe seventh game, and be killed | the Dodgers completely dead with his two big ones Wednesday. Tm all, the Mick propelled 10 hits sity football player ie 18 years old, McBride from Logan, O.; Bill Ear. in 29 appearances for an average weighs 190 pounds and is five feet LL inehes tall, ley from Parkersburg, W. Va of 43. By an emaring coincidence. Duke Snider did for the Brooklyn cause, Snider, for a time, looked like being thé hero of the Series. In fact, the big swinger from Califor- nia battled the Yanks right down to the wire while others on his company failed to last. But in the end he had to yield honors to Mantle, The most unfortunate figure was Joe Black, the big Negro rookie who rocketed the Dodgers in front with a beautifully pitched triumph over Reynolds in the opening game but was turned back by Allie’s shutout in the fourth. Manager Charlie Dressen obstinately held Black out of Monday’s Yankee equalizer in order to have him well rested for Wednesday’s big one—and then Joe didn’t have it! Black sat the Yanks down very smartly for the first three innings Wednesday, and we like to feel, as an expert second guesser, that he would have done the same thing the previous day if Dressen had only put him in to protect a 1-0 lead in the last three innings. After Wednesday’s third inning, it may be conceded, Black was tired and wavering. So was Ed Lopat, and Vic Raschi, who tried to take Reynolds off the hook. Preacher Roe, who came in after Black had given up, didn’t have a thing except a long time between pitches, And that was the point at which Stengel wheeled out his secret weapon, Kuzava, the only pitcher in the park who wasn't about to collapse of the blind staggers. Casey used the same tactics against the New York Giants a year ago, It was Kuzava, perhaps the most obscure southpaw in mod- ern history, who snuffed out the Series, popped up or struck out or sent harmless flies into the stiff breeze blowing into the plate. When Reese flied to Gene Woodling for the final out in short left field, the Yanks climbed all over Kuzava and gave him a wonderful drubbing. And Stengel went around thank ing each of the little men whor nobody eise could see, he told eac jof them, personally, that he done a wha a job and that he would se spring at the same le of him next id stand, Cager Signed ELMIRA, N.
