L PARMENTER, Owner All-Star Post-Mortems NEW YORK, Juiy 14 w All-Star echoes: We predicted Ted Williams would star in this annual battle of the best. We mean in the field, of course (oh yeah?). Anyway, his backhanded stab, of Don Newcombe's drive at the leftfield wall was the gem of the game, approached only by Andy Paf ko's shoe-stringer in the seventh inning. If Williams only could hit! The crowd which paid $79, 225.02 (somebody got - his two cents worth) was quite impar tial. It didn't care which team won so long as it was the Na tional League. On the whole it was war-time baseball, a throwback to the hilarious 1945 World Series be tween the Tigers and the Cubs. Balls were being dropped all over the place, bases left uncov ered, players sliding into second and skidding along out toward left field. As ore spectator com mented when the American Leaguers began to make Howie Pollet look like a batting prac tice pitcher in the seventh inn ing: "This is like the fatmen against the skinny ones at a pic nic." The weepy, gloomy, sultry af ternoon was tough on the play ers. Wearing glasses Bob Dil linger, Dom DiMaggio and Eddie Joost. They must have felt like ships in a harbor waiting for the fog to lift. There wasn't a bunt in the game. The only bunting was draped around the stands, you might say. Johnny Mize had a bad first inning, missing a fast ground ball some of the critics who weren't down on the field thought he should have had muffing a pickup throw, and striking out. Warren Spahn struck out the side in the first inning, but what happened be tween the strikeouts shouldn't happen even in Brooklyn. The hanger hung empty in the locker marked "Waitkus" in the National League All-Star dress ing room Tuesday. When Manager Billy South worth named the squad a week ago, he included Waitkus as an honorary member. For a while it was thought that he would be here as a guest. But doctors felt he still wasn't strong enough to leave his Chicago hospital room. Although reports of his condition have been favorable.

Joe Gordon, who replaced Cass Mi chaels of the White Sox at sec ond base, was the No. 1 Cleve land man. Johnny Mize left his extra base hits on the practice field. The big New York Giant first baseman, who could hit nothing longer than a single in the game, clubbed four out of five high up on the right field screen during one turn in batting practice, then lofted one clear out of the park for good measure. Twice during the game, it looked as if the entire Brooklyn team was playing for the Na tional League. In the fourth inn ing, the Dodgers had Don New combe pitching, Roy Campanella catching, Gil Hodges at first, Jackie Robinson at second and Peewee Reese at short. A similar situation prevailed in the ninth with Preacher Roe on the mound.
