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.
The players now are actors on the
stage with their briefcases and law
yers trying to get m ore endorse
ments. Very few come to really play
Ihc game. 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-

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. C onflict with youth in some
cases is in the parks.”
As a result 21 young men and
women between 17 and 21 p atro l
area parks in m u lti-e th n ic and
multi-sex teams o f two to three per
sons under the supervision o f the
Neighborhood Mediation office.

no problem is anticipated.
“ I ’ve a special diet and I would
lik e to do my ow n c o o k in g ,” she
said, som ething she cannot do at
M ann because the old wiring would
cause more risk than convenience.
Edwards said that the scheduled
m ove in Septem ber w ill cut the
$ 3 0 0 ,0 0 0 annual losses by tw o -
thirds.
