C. Hardwlcke 147; Pacific Northwest (Medina, Joe Today's Sportrait BY OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK UP a (Home Run) Baker stepped out of the baseball past Wednesday with a flat prediction that Mickey Mantle will break Babe Ruth's home run record and, in all probability, will do it this season. "Barring accidents or injuries, Mantle should surpass Ruth's record of 60 home runs this year," Baker asserted. "That's the only thing which can stop him." The principal reason, said the man who was the home run champion of the American League four straight years, is that Mantle "finally has found himself." Certainly the statistics support the Maryland farmer who was admitted to the Hall of Fame last year. For Mantle has walloped 16 home runs in the Yankees' first 33 games putting him 10 games ahead of Ruth's record 1927 pace.

"I think this Is going to be Mantle's year," explained Baker, who as a member of Connie Mack's famed $100,000 infield led the league for the Athletics from 1911 through 1914. "It takes any youngster a certain amount of time to find himself. Mickey finally has. "Last season, I saw him play against Boston and I thought then that he was finding himself at last," said Baker, who at 70 still is erect and square shouldered. "But there is a vast difference even since last year.

When I saw his added poise and power this year I knew he was on his way."

His league leading home run totals were nine in 1911, 10 in 1912, 12 in 1913 and eight in 1914, while in 13 seasons with the A's and the Yankees he managed a total of "only" 93 homers.

In that era it was a magnificent performance. The big man with the Iron gray hair prefers, instead, to look at the present and the future. "Eventually, somebody is going to have to break Ruth's record," he insists. "It's an old phrase, but a good one, that records are made to be broken. Mantle looks SIZE 6.70 15....

Jimmy Foxx could have tied it if he had been given credit for a home run in a called game. I don't look at the big 60 as if it can't be broken." Mantle, Baker contends, has the best chance "because he has so much power and he gets a piece of the ball regularly." "Any time he goes to bat he's got a chance to put it out of the park," said the man who made the home run famous. "Yogi Ber ra, the Yankee catcher, has the same kind of power but he isn't consistent enough. Mantle looks to me like the boy to do it.

"And," he concluded, "once he does, Mantle may go on to put it clear out of sight. There's no limit to what that young man just might do."

PAY BALANCE Senators Deny Talk Of Leaving Capital City WASHINGTON, May 23 Ufc The Washington Senators declared emphatically Tuesday they intend to keep their American League franchise in the nation's capital, "Reports to the contrary are baseless, without foundation," the club said. The Senators put out a statement denying reports they may shift operations to another city after Rep. Hillings (R Calif.) urged Mayor Norris Poulson of Los Angeles to "explore the possibilities" of buying the Washington franchise. Hillings, in a telegram to Poulson, said the Senator's management faces a "serious crisis" because "lack of interest in the capital city indicates inability to support a winning ball club here." The Californian's move followed a published report Monday (Washington Evening Star) that if at tendance at Griffith Stadium keeps falling off, the Washington club may go elsewhere.

Calvin Griffith, the Senator's president, personally took part In drafting Tuesday's statement which said: "These careless rumors are based on the false premise that the Washington ball club is facing a serious crisis and that attendance is very poor. "The facts are that the Washington club faces no crisis whatsoever and that attendance Is above what it was a year ago." The statement noted that for 18 games this season 123,295 spectators have paid their way into Griffith Stadium in contrast to 118,330 over a similar span last year. The club "has never considered and does not contemplate" moving to Los Angeles or any other city," the statement said. mmmmA F5 WEEKLY 1 ih ttr srsviff k. (siii i'i'Ji fl I Ja BWil a' JI.
