Yankees Ease Into Familiar Top Spot; A's Lose to Sox
By United Press International
By United Press International The New York Yankees are back on top again and frankly, who did you expect, the Washington Senators?
If you had paid strict attention, you would have known weeks ago everything was going to be okay with the Yanks.
WHEN SOME ALARMISTS suggested this could be one of their off-years, Manager Ralph Houk said not a chance. When questions were raised about Whitey Ford's arm, the Yankee manager said don't worry. And when anyone asked when Mickey Mantle would start hitting, Houk always said soon.
It looks as if he was right on all counts.
Technically, the Yankees are tied for first place in the American League with the Kansas City Athletics but the A's had better hurry up and get a picture of that because that situation is subject to change on short notice.
BARING THEIR MUSCLES for the first time in weeks, the Yankees rattled off 15 hits and ran up their highest run total of the season last night in crushing the Detroit Tigers, 10-3.
The Tigers ended Ford's string of scoreless innings at 20 when they got to him for three runs in the fourth inning but the veteran southpaw still registered his third straight victory even though Jim Bouton relieved him in the seventh.
Mantle enjoyed a perfect night by driving in three runs on three hits in as many times at bat. With the Yanks leading 4-3, he slashed a two-run homer off loser Hank Aguirre (3-3) in the seventh to make the score 6-3.
TOM TRESH, who also collected three hits, then unloaded a three-run homer off reliever Paul Foytack in the eighth to cap a four-run rally.

Southpaw Ted Bowsfield suffered his fourth defeat against one victory, yielding 10 the White Sox' 13 hits, including homers by Peters and Mike Hershberger.
Peters tired after eight innings, however, and Jim Brosnan, picked up 24 hours earlier from the Reds, relieved him in the ninth and set down the A's in order, striking out two of the three batters he faced.
ALBIE PEARSON DROVE in four of the Angels' five runs against the Twins by connecting for a pair of doubles, both times with the bases loaded.
Only one game was played in the National League, with the Pittsburgh Pirates downing the Los Angeles Dodgers, 7-4.
GARY PETERS of the White Sox, given his first major league start, made the most of it by limiting the A's to four hits and belting a home run himself.
Pearson's second double came off Bill Plets with one out in the ninth and broke up the ball game after Zoilo Versalles had singled home Bob Allison in the top of the inning to put Minnesota ahead, 4-3. Dan Orinski was credited with his first victory and Ray Moore charged with his first defeat.

unrest, Bunche said "The peaceful demonstrations of Negroes in Birmingham are a result of a natural impatience."
Bunche won the Nobel Prize in 1950 for his work as a mediator during the Palestine crisis of 1948 and 1949.
LOGAN'S SHOT to right field came on a 3-2 pitch by Don Drysdale and snapped a 4-all tie. Jim Gilliam's throwing error made three of the runs in the inning unearned.
Drysdale, a 25-game winner last year, now is 2-3. Joe Gibbon, who relieved Pirate starter Bob Friend and was relieved himself, posted his second victory without a defeat. Big Frank Howard socked his fifth homer over Forbes Field's left field scoreboard in the third.
FORT WORTH, Tex. — (UPI) Dr.Ralph Bunche, Undersecretary of the United Nations, told a Fort Worth audience last night the United States must eliminate its racial barriers quickly to maintain its image in the world.
He said some strides have been made toward equality in the U.S., noting the decline of colonialism, which he called "the political embodiment of prejudice and repression."
Bunche Urges Racial Equality
Bunche, Nobel Peace Prize winner, spoke at Texas Christian University under sponsorship of the Human Relations Seminar Committee.
"We have reached the climactic stage in the fight to lower the racial barrier. The rest of the world — and two billion of the population of three billion in the world is non-white — is watching us closely." Bunche told students, faculty members and others.
Bunche said the Negro suffers many scars for humiliation in a society that tolerates racial discrimination. He said the Negro does not want pity or to be merely accepted, but to have the opportunity "to go as far as his brain, body and ability will carry him."
