By UNITED PRESS Baseball's annual All - Star game may be a delightful ex- travaganza to the fans but it's still just an added, unwanted chore to the players and man agers. Just how the players and pilots feel about the game was demonstrated again Sunday when no fewer than six of the 13 pitchers named to, the Am erican and National league squads saw action and thus will come up for Tuesday's game without proper rest. The fans, however, could take some solace in the fact that in each deliberate case of snubbing the All-Star game, justice tri umphed over sin and the star pitcher lost. Those tagged with defeat were Sal Maglie of the Giants, Robin Roberts of the Phillies, Warren Spahn of the Braves, Bobby Shantz of the A's, Mike Garcia of the In dians and Satchel Paige of the Browns. Phillies Win Maglie was beaten by the Phillies, 4 to 1, after the Giants beat Roberts, 2 to 0; Spahn was hammered by the Dodgers, 8 to 2; Shantz retired after four innings and lost to the Yankees, 5 to 2, although the A's rebounded to win the night cap, 7 to 6; Garcia bowed to the White Sox, 3 to 2, in 12 innings when Minnie Minoso hit a home run, and Paige, relieving Ned Garver, suffered the defeat as the Tigers beat the Browns, 8 to 6, for their second straight under Fred Hutchinson. . In other games Sunday the Cubs beat the Reds, 5 to 1 and 2 to 0, the Cardinals downed the Pirates, 6 to 5 and 6 to 4, and the Senators defeated the Red Sox, 5 to 2. As a result, the All-Star in terlude found the Yankees lead ing the American league by three games and the Dodgers leading the National by four-and-a-half. The White Sox, Indians, Senators and Red Sox trailed the .Yankees with only 3Vi games separating all four while the - Giants were within range of the Dodgers. A year ago. the White Soxs were AL leaders, one game ahead of Boston and two ahead of New York while Brooklyn enjoyed an 8V2 game spread over ttie Giants. Stan Musial, of the Cards, led the National league's hitters with .333, nine point better than TobyAtwell of Chicago. In the AL.Terris Fain of the A's, led with a .336 average with Billy Goodman of the Red Sox one point behind and Al Rosen of Cleveland six points away, Fine Pitching" In the NL, the lightly re garded Cubs were in fourth place although IIV2 games be hind Brooklyn, and still getting fine pitching from such as Paul Minner and Warren Hacker who turned in a two-hitter and a four-hitter respectively. In the American, the Senators were still suspended in fourth place.

If the most valuable player picks were to be made today, the AL award would go to either Shantz or Allie Reynolds, NL award to Maglie. The "bust of the year" and maybe of the decade undoubtedly is Luke Easter, picked by many to be player of the year and now back in the minors. The manager of the year would be a toss-up be tween Casey Stengel and Bucky Harris.

Noble Stands Out Catcher Ray Noble was the standout hero. He caught every game, handled the Oak pitchers with aplomb and did not allow base thief Carlos Bernier to pil fer a sack in any of the eight games. Bernier leads the league in that department with 41.
