Wed., July 13, 1955 Nationals Win aft . Hojtfer by 'Stan the Man' Climaxes Long Comeback By FRED PACKER Of The United Press MILWAUKEE, Wis. (If) Th;ks to one sweet swing by Stan (The Man) Musial, who wasn't evn invited to the party, the National Leagwe stood at last Wednesday within sight of its long-cherished goaf ruler of the All-Star game. The dramatic 6-5 triuiSph produccd.by Musial's mighty wallop in the 12th inning of the "dream game" af County Stadium Tuesday now has cut .he American League's leatl in this annual series to just 13 games to nine. That s a far cry fom just six years ago when the Americans P Jed by 12-4 and a n,tinai League comcba'ek scented a mighty dis mal hope indeed. Now ilusial's dramatic blast in to the right-field 'stands, on a "loo high" pitch by Frank Sulli van of the Boston Red Sox, has extended the National League surge to five victories in the last six games and given "senior" circuit officials hope they will even the scries in the years just ahead. But come, what may In the fu ture, the 1955 All-Star classic goes Into the history books as "Stan's Game." PASSED UP BY FANS Passed up by the fans, who voted Ted Kluszcwskl of Cincin nati Into the role of starting first baseman for the National League instead of Stan, the St. Louis Cardinal star was rushed Into the game as a substitute out fielder and wound up by smashing three big All-Star records. For one, he became the first player to appear in 12 All-Star games. For another, his homer was his fourth, breaking the All-Star rec ord of three lie had shared with Ted Williams. And finally, his game-winning blast also was his 14th All-Star hit, another mark. Musial's smash, on Sullivan's first pitch in the last half of the 2lh inning, -struck like the crack of doom for an American League team that had blown a five-run lead. Sullivan, who said he tried . to throw a fast ball "low and ' tight," admitted the pitch came In 'too high." Musial said he was sure it was a homer "as soon as I hit it." SECOND OVERTIME CAME It was the second extra-inning game in All-Star history. Oddly enough, the first a 14-inning af fair in 1950 was broken up by a homer by Rod Schoondienst, Musial's roommate on the Cardinals. There was no hint of such a wind-up as the game began with the underdog American Leaguers ripping into starting pitcher Jtobin Roberts of the Phillies for four runs in the first inning. Harvey Kucnn and Nellie Fox rapped Roberts for singles, and Kuenn scooted home on a wild pitch by control artist Roberts. Then Mnnyle followed with what seemed tho "crusher," a three-run homer over the 402-foot center field fence. The A.L. boosted the margin to 8-0 with a sixlh inning run off Harvey Haddix on Yogi Item's single and Al Kalinc's double. It looked liko the Americans were homo fre; "instead they wore washed up. CONLEY GETS VIN Don Ncwcomhe of Brooklyn (one inning) Sam Jones of Chi cngo (one) Joe Nuxhall of Cincin nati (three) and Gene Conley of Milwaukee (one) shut out the A.L. The rest of the way. Conley, last year's losing pitcher, got the With .Musial 1.0" Baltimore Tuesday's Results All-Star Came Thursday's Games Washington at Chicago, night Baltimore at Kansas City, night New York at Cleveland, night Boston at Detroit, night WILLIE MAYS Started Rallies STAN MUSIAL He Ended It Charles Meets Paul Andrews win this time after striking out the side in the 12th inning. Meanwhile, the N.L. struck back to tie the score with two runs in the seventh and three in the eighth all off Whitey Ford of the Yankees. Willie Mays of the Giants touched off both rallies with singles. In the seventh, he moved to second on Hank Aaron's walk and scored on Johnny Logan's single. When Chico Carrasquel booted Stan Lopata's grounder, Aaron scored, too, to make it, 5-2. In the eighth, Kluszcwskl, Ran som Jackson, and Aaron singled behind Mays. Jackson took third on Aaron's blow and scored the tying run when outficder Al Ka- lines, throw went through third- baseman Al Rosen, That set the stage tor "Stan The Man." Musical, named to the squad as a sub by Manager Leo Duroch- er of the Giants, was sent into the game by Durocher in the fourth inning in left field. Un der All-Star rules, which require the starters to play at least three innings, that was the soonest Stan could appear. Durocher couldn't have made a smarter move.

CHICAGO Wt Ezzard Charles, 34-year-old former heavyweight boxing champion with hopes for another title match, was a 3-1 favorite over young Paul An drews in their scheduled 10- round bout at Chicago Stadium Wednesday. It'll be a must bout for both the fading Charles and the 25- year-old Andrews. Charles canont well afford to lose if he expects to continue as a drawing card and maintain or improve his No, 6 ranking among heavyweights. i Andrews, winner of 30 of his: 35 bouts, needs a victory to es tablish himself among the heavyweights. Charles has won three of his last four bouts after losing twice to Rocky Marciano. His loss was to John Holman, Chicago heavy weight. Charles later avenged this defeat with a one-sided decision. Charles, who has an over-all record of 80 triumphs, 13 losses and 1 draw, is hoping to get an other crack at Marciano's crown.
