Rickey Blames Defeat
On Selections By Fans
By JOE REICHLER
BROOKLYN, July 13.-(ff)
Branch Rickey, among many Na
tional Leaguers writhing under
the humiliation yesterday of his
. circuit'! latest setback by Ameri
( can League All-Stars, 11-7, to
day laid the blame on the tans'
doorstep.
Rickey, head of the Brooklyn
Dodgers, In whose field the lat
est nightmare for the National
League took place, said "it seems
to me that the nationwide fans'
voting idea is not the best one.
"I may be wrong in that," he
added, "but I am sure of this,
however. The manager should
not be forced to start with the
fans' top selections and play
them for three Innings. He should
be privileged to start anybody
he sees fit and use him as long
' as he desires."
Rickey said after the . first
three amateurish Innings, the
game was played In a smoother
fashion because the managers
were running things.
First Inning Fatal
In the slonnilv-nlaved first In-
; ring the National League infield
fell apart and permitted the op
position to score four unearned
runs, mat eventually was tne
margin of defeat.
The Nationals pot hack two
runs in their half of the inning
when Stan Musial followed Jack
ie Robinson's double with a home
run over the right field screen.
They made it 4-3 In the second
and only Ted Williams' sensa
tional backhanded catch of Don
Newcombe's fly prevented the Na
tionals from having a big Inning.
The National's third Inning at
tack produced two runs and put
them in front for the first and
only time In the game.
Freak Single Decisive
The Americans regained the
lead In the fourth, capitalizing
on Eddie Joost's freak single
which both managers Billy
Southworth of the National and
Lou Boudreau agreed later was
the decisive play of the game.
With runners on Bccond and
third and two out, Newcombe
apparently had Joost fooled on
a low outside curve. Joost hit
with the end of his bat and
sent a twisting little looper to
.first. But the ball had "English"
on It and it hopped crazlly off
Gil Hodges' bare right hand and
rolled Into short right. Both run
ners scored to put the Ameri
cans ahead b-3.
