Mickey Mantle Hits 26th and 27th Homers To
Put Him Ahead of Babe Ruth’s Record 1927 Pace
DETROIT, {ft—One of the Am-q
erican League’s finest southpav/s
decided to let Mickey Mantle
supply his own power, and the
magnetic Yankee slugger respond
ed with dramatic suddenness and
had power to burn.
Billy Hoeft, the Detroit Tigers’
leading pitcher, fed the New York
centerfielder two change - up
pitches in Wednesday night’s
game before 47,756 enthusiastic
fans at Briggs Stadium.
The 24-year-old Mantle, who
has exhausted every superlative
with his home run feats, churned
both pitches far over the stadium
fences to lead the pace-setting
Bombers to a 4-1 victory.
They were his 26th and 27tn
home runs and put him comfort
ably ahead of the pace set by
Babe Ruth when he clubbed a
record 60 home runs in 1927. Ruth .
did not hit No. 27 until July 8. .
The Tiger fans, who have seen ;
their club lose five in a row and
fall to sixth place, didn’t let the j
Yankee uniform on the well-bpilt <
frame of the kid from Oklahoma .
interfere with their enthusiasm.
When Mantle returned to center- }
field after his second home run, a
pair of young boys leaped over
the high fence and raced to meet
him. Mantle shook hands with ^
each of them before 1 they were
chased. ^
In the ninth inning, dozens of
fans caught on and poured out -
from all areas of ttye spacious sta- c
dium and onto the playing field, j
There were youngsters and t
grown-ups alike, and Mantle ap- c
peared indifferent. He shook as
many hands as he could in the <t
few moments that elapsed before ^
park attendants and umpires
could restore order. *

Cecelia Okpeahik
Finds Texas Warm
But No Cowboys
SAN ANTONIO? M — Cadet Lt.
Cecelia Okpealuk of Nome, Civil
Air Patrol, is finding the Texas
climate a far cry from the com
paratively “frigid” atmosphere of
her native Alaska.
Lt." Okpealuk, a full-blooded
Eskimo, is participating in a two
week summer encampment at
Lackland Air Force Base here.
Although hasty to assure her
southwestern hosts that despite
widespread belief all Eskimos live
in igloos, she doesn’t, the 17-year
old admits one would be a re
freshing respite from local mer
cury readings in the high 90s.
The CAP encampment marks
Lt. Okpealuk’s first visit to the
United States. San Antonio of
fered another “first” for her when
she took an elevator ride Tues
day.
Said Cecelia: “It was fun.”
Colleagues from each of the 48
states and U.S. territories also at
tending the encampment thought
they might treat Cecelia to an
“alien” delicacy—ice cream.
The Alaskan, however, defeated
their hopes by chortling that ice
cream is as common in Nome as
cattle in Texas.
A high school sophomore, Ce
celia’s impressions of Texas were
obscured for the most part by
varying attempts at keeping cool,
and memories of Nome’s “sixty
ish” temperatures.
Her primary sightseeing target
in San Antonio before the en
campment ends June 28 is "a real
live Texas cowboy.”

Lake Texoma because it is not air
conditioned.
