Pape 8 Portland Observer, July 14, 1982 Blazer schedule All-Star loses punch bv .41 McGdberry It is incredible, unbelievable, that the American 1 eague All-Stars lost agin to the N a tio n a l League A ll- Stars. Can the N ational League be that much better? They must be, be cause the Americans haven’t won in eleven years. Eleven years— w ow! Richard Nixon was president back then. Steve Rogers, the winner, was a kid. Baseball’s All-Star game was once a sports fantasy. Il is held at midsea son. giving players a few days’ rest and letting the fans see their heroes. The game was at its peak in the year 1936 when the great N .Y . Giant Pilcher Carl Hubbell struck out leg ends such as Ruth, Gehrig, Jimmy Foxx, A l Simmons and Joe C ronin in succession. Now the New York Giants are the San Francisco Giants and the A ll- Star gam e, even though it was played in M o n tre a l in fro n t o f 58,000 people, is a T V. spectacle.

I hc fans now pick the team and many o f the best players aren’ t voted to the team. So they, like us, grab a drink and watch their game on the tube. If the game has lost its thrill to the players then why has the N ational League beaten Ihc American League 18 out o f the last 19 games? Has let ting the fans pick the players taken the jo y aw ay, fro m the players' point o f view? O r has television changed the A ll-Star game into just a big T. V. show? ers? As in p o litics we sometimes pick the smile over intelligence. W ell, back to the game. The N a tio n a l League won 4-1 w ith Dave Conception hitting a two-run homer as the play o f the evening. I he N atio n al l.eaguc still holds the scries edge 18-18. I hope the fans enjoyed it. I liked the World Cup final much better. It was really exciting. One day the U .S . w ill be entered in the (. up series— then it will really be a world senes in sport. Gosh! I keep forgetting the A ll-S tar game. Yes, guys, Reggie was there. Or was he? W ith the fans voting this year old favorites like Pete Rose and Steve Garvey made the team while Al O li ver, who leads the league in hitting placed third with the fans. Can you imagine fans picking the right play- Ivery Goodyear u rt in stock is on sato Youth patrol parks by C. Eddie Edmondson The third U.S. Senior Open Championships were held in Portland last week with many of the senior stars participating. Arnold Palmer, the crowd favorite, (above), finished third. Winning with a 2-under-par 69 was Gene Littler, winner of 30 tour naments on the regular and senior tours. Other leaders included Gary Brewer and Bob Goalby, second; Palmer and Dan Sikes. Jr., 3rd; Jack Fleck and Ken Towns, 4th; and Miller Barber. 5th. T w o weeks after the head o f the Guardian Angels, Curtis Sliwa, flew into town to consider requests that the youth-oriented citizen self-de fense organization establish a chap ter here, 21 young Portlanders be gan patrolling area parks this week in the hope o f cooling hot young tempers before “ L e t’ s Get Physi cal” is more than a song on the local jukebox. ’ ’ W e ll, the only s im ila rity [be tween the two g ro u p sj,” said E m manuel Paris, director of Neighbor hood M e d ia tio n services fo r the city, “ is that our people arc there to prevent c o n flic ts .” The G uardian Angels receive self-defense training and also make citizen arrests. Julie P o m ero y, an aide in C ity Commissioner Margaret Strachen’s office, said the Youth Outreach pro gram, as its called, is similar to one the M etropolitan Human Relations Commission developed several years ago. In fact, they prepared the pro posal for this program, she added. “ Because o f high youth u n em p lo y m e n t,” M s. Pom eroy said, “ one place to hang out is in the parks.
