Phillies Hitters Lead Nationals To Second Straight All-Star Win

DETROIT The Senior Circuit finally put Junior in his place. Taking the early lead and pitching well throughout, the National League vanquished the rival American League Tuesday afternoon, 4-3, in baseballs 18th annual All-Star Game. It marked the first time in the series that the Nationals had won two in a row they took the 1950 game in dramatic fashion on Red Schoendiensts home run in the bottom of the 14th inning. They still trail the A.L., 12-6, alltime. But the jubilant victors were quick to suggest a new pecking order had been established. Its a brand new cycle, said N.L. publicist Charlie Seger. Watch us from now on. Were going to do the same thing in the World Series. Both starting pitchers N.L hurler Larry Jansen of the Giants, and A.L. choice Eddie Lopat of the Yankees were New York based. Each threw an impressive three innings to open the contest. Lopat was one out away from a scoreless three-inning stint when the Dodgers Jackie Robinson singled home the Phillies Richie Ashburn for a 1-0 National League lead. Lopat allowed four hits, striking out five. Jansen, who pitched five scoreless innings when last years tilt went into extra innings, did Lopat a trifle better. Leo Durochers ace retired nine out of the 10 men he faced, including the final eight after a first-inning single by Chicagos Nellie Fox, who garnered the most votes of any American League player in the fan balloting. Clevelands Early Wynn relieved Lopat in the top of the fourth, and the Nationals drove him to the showers with a pair of runs. Once again Phillies hitters were at the heart of the rally right fielder Del Ennis scored on Hank

All-Star Proceeds Hit $250,000

DETROIT (AP) The 18th annual All-Star game produced almost one quarter million dollars for the players pension fund. Gate receipts after taxes were paid but before deduction of operating expenses were $124,294.07. Radio and television paid in an additional $110,000.

Sauers fly ball out, and Ashburns two-out, two -strike single scored Bostons Bob Elliott. The Americans got on the board in the bottom of the frame, when an error by Giants shortstop Alvin Dark one of six miscues committed by the two teams allowed Philadelphias Ferris Fain to score. Brooklyns Don Newcombe wiggled out of the bases-loaded jam by striking out Detroits George Kell and Chico Carrasquel of the White Sox. It remained 3-1 until the top of the eighth when the National League tacked on a run on an RBI fly out by Cardinals triple crown candidate Stan Musial, making the score 4-1. It was Musials seventh RBI in All-Star competition. The Americans touched Chicagos Bob Rush, the Nationals fifth pitcher, for two runs in the bottom of the eighth. Detroits Vic Wertz and the Yanks Yogi Berra set the table with one-out singles. Wertz scored on a double by Clevelands Al Rosen, and Berra scampered home on a ground out by the Athletics Eddie Joost. That closed the gap to 4-3. The American League could make no further inroads. Entrusted with pitching the ninth inning by National League skipper Eddie Sawyer, Rush breezed through in 1-2-3 fashion on 11 pitches to earn a save. Jansen was the winning pitcher, and Lopat the loser. Boy, what a club I had out there today, Sawyer said. Id like to run a team like that all the time.

All-Star Game Notes, Quotes, Anecdotes

DETROIT Notes and quotes from Tuesdays All-Star game: * Pirates slugger Ralph Kiner: Were the big guys now and they are the little boys. I could see that before the game when we lined up for the national anthem. I looked over at the American League bunch and thought: Gee, what a bunch of little guys compared to a few years ago. For the first time our boys looked like the big men. * Giants pitcher Larry Jansen, pressed into yeomans work in last years 14-inning affair, has thrown eight innings the past two All-Star games, allowing no runs and two hits. * Charlie Seger (National League publicist): Its a brand new cycle. Watch us from now on. Were going to do the same thing in the World Series. * Yankees pitcher Eddie Lopats five strikeouts were the most ever in one game by an American League hurler. * N.L. pilot Eddie Sawyer: Boy, what a club I had out there today. Id like to run a team like that all the time. * Dodgers shortstop Pee Wee Reese was 0-for -13 in All-Star competition before his infield single in the eighth inning. * Dodgers second baseman Jackie Robinson: They told me this American League was a fastball league. I never saw so many curves, screwballs and change of paces in my life. Wed really have run up a score if theyd thrown fast stuff our kind of pitches. * Tuesdays game was just the third All-Star contest without a home run. The others came in 1944 at Forbes Field, and 1938 at Crosley Field. * Since Hoot Evers round-tripper in 1948, the American League has gone three games (or 38 2/3 All-Star innings) without a four-base hit. * A.L. skipper Casey Stengel: We were just plain lousy out there today. Our hitting was bad and our pitching was worse. They simply outplayed us in every department. * National League catcher Roy Campanella went 0-for-5, making him 0-for-13 in his three All-Star classics. * The Briggs Stadium PA announcer, upon calling for a moment of silence in observance of Harry Heilmann: A great athlete, a splendid announcer and a fine gentleman.

Veeck Courts Negroes On Winnipeg Squad

WINNIPEG (AP) Jack Hector, manager of the Winnipeg Buffaloes of the Mandak Baseball League, on Tuesday confirmed reports that five Negro players on his club had been contacted by St. Louis Browns owner Bill Veeck. They are pitcher James Newberry, outfielder Leon Day, infielders Johnny Kennedy and Charlie White, and outfielder Butch Davis. Hector says the Mandak League has honored contracts across the United States and he expects to receive the same consideration. Atlanta Cracker president Earl Mann said he is going to fight the 90-day suspension handed his manager, Dixie Walker, by Southern Association president Charlie Hurth. Walker was suspended as the result of a dispute with umpire Paul Roy on June 29. Were going to use every weapon we have to fight this thing to the very end, Mann said. Sheriff Charles W. Messenger, 67, onetime infielder with the Chicago White Sox and St. Louis Browns of the American League, died at his Bath, Me., home Tuesday. Messenger played professionally for 17 years after leaving Bates College in the early 1900s. In 1911, he won a 100-yard dash against representatives of all the American League clubs.

Outgoing Happy in A Melancholy Mood

DETROIT (AP) Outgoing commissioner A.B. (Happy) Chandler said Tuesday he would welcome an opportunity to get back into baseball but denied a report he would replace Billy Evans as general manager of the Detroit Tigers. Chandler, whose resignation becomes effective Sunday, performed his last official act Tuesday when he presided over the 18th annual All-Star game. The former Kentucky senator visited both dugouts, jovially bidding goodbye to All-Star players and managers and coaches of the National and American leagues. But to close friends, he made no effort to hide his true feelings. I dont know when Ive felt as I do now, he confided. Why should they have done this to me? What reasons did they have? They still havent told me. Deep in the dugout, hidden from the players and the vast crowd that jam-packed Briggs Stadium, the spurned commissioner, for the first time since his repudiation, wept unashamedly. Id give a lot to be back in baseball, he said. I love the game. I love it as a sport, not as a business. The money is not important. I didnt really get much money out of it, after

taxes. Chandler pulled out a handkerchief, dabbed at his eyes. Id prefer a place in baseball to any other field, he said earnestly. But he denied flatly that he had been approached by the Tigers or any club about a job. Bob Murphy, sports editor of the Detroit Times, reported in his column Tuesday that Evans would resign at the end of the season and Chandler might become his successor. Murphy pointed out that W.O. Briggs, owner of the Tigers, has been a supporter of Chandler in the long dispute with major league club owners that led to Chandlers resignation. He added

that W.O. (Spike) Briggs, Jr., is one of Chandlers closest friends. Dont be surprised if you see him (Chandler) sitting in the front office at Briggs Stadium next year, Murphy wrote. Chandler, who received the full $65,000 for the last year of his seven-year contract, although his term still had 10 months to go, said he planned to spend the next few weeks fishing and forgetting. The successor to Chandler may be picked by Aug. 1, major league spokesmen said. Owners of the 16 major league clubs agreed to submit their recommendations for the post in writing by July 20. Chandler said he was leaving the door open for a return to baseball.
