roTm MrcroRD (omooh) mail TRiBuire Wednesday, July 3, 1952 Shantz Shines in All-Star Tiff; National Leaguers Gain 3-2 Win By MILTON RICKMAN Philadelphia (U.R) A soft spoken pipsqueak who threw only IS pitches for toe losing side drew the loudest cheers Wednesday from the triumph ant National league all-stars. Southpaw Bobby Shantz ap peared only briefly on Shibe Park's rain-soaked scene Tues day and even though he toiled for the losing American league ers, he was by far the outstand ing figure In the 3-2 game. Relieving losing pitcher Bob Lemon in the top of the fifth, the five-foot, seven-inch, 145- pound Shantz flashed his fast ball through the downpour to strike out Whitey Lockman, .307, Jackie Robinson .315 and Stan Musial .333 in swift suc cession. Duroeher Praises "The kid is a wonder," mar veled Leo Duroeher, who pilot ed the National leaguers to taeir third straight triumph. "If that's the kind of stuff he throws, I'm glad we didn't have to face him anymore." The three top hitters Shantz struck out were equally im pressed. "I can see why he' has that 14-3 record." declared Robin son, whose first-inning homer off starter Vic Raschi gave the National league a 1-0 lead. "He threw me three curves and two change-ups. And if he had thrown me his fast curve soon er, I'd have struck out sooner." Big Assortment Musial, the only batter to hit so much as a foul off Shantz, said the mighty mite of the Ath letics had "a tremendous assort MedfowvSTribuke Pilney Sets Pace In Publinx Meet Miami, Fla. (U.R) Ex-football star Andy Pilney headed the survivors Wednesday in the third round of the National Pub lic Links golf tournament. Pilney, former backfield ace at Notre Dame, posted one of the most lop-sided scores of the tournament Tuesday as he whip ped Gus Tamburrino, Chicago, 8 and 7, in the second round. In Wednesday morning's third round, Pilney was matched against Matt Carvey, Harvey, m. In another feature third round matches, Defending Champion Dave Stanley, Los Angeles faced Robert J. Scherer, Decatur, 111. "He keeps you off stride all the time," Musial added. "I didn't think that third strike was over the plate but it was a good fast ball." Lockman paid . particular praise to Shantz' controL "He's really got it, no ques tion about that," said the Giant first sacker. Shantz, himself, said he wasn't concentrating on striking anyone out. No Record Sought "I merely was trying to get them to hit the first pitch," he declared. "I wasn't after any strikeout records.' v Had Shantz started the game, the outcome might have been different, the National Leaguers generally agreed. As it was, the American league- took a temporary lead when Minnie Minoso doubled, Al Rosen walked and Eddie Robinson and Bobby Avila each singled off winning pitcher Bob Rush in the fourth, but the National league retaliated with two runs in their half of the inning when Lemon hit Musial with a pitch and then yielded a home run to big Hank Sauer. Entirely In Rain ' A capacity crowd of 32,785 fretted impatiently for 56 mm utes before the umpires decided to call the game on account of rain in the top of the sixth in ning. It marked tne nrst Time in all-star history that a contest had been played entirely in the rain and then called. Sharing pitching honors with Shantz was another left-hander, ex-G.I. Curt Simmons of the Phils, who opened for the Na tional league after the start of the game had been held up for 22 minutes. Simmons Zips After walking leadoff hitter Dom DiMaggio, Simmons blaz ed a third strike past Hank Bauer and Dale Mitchell, then induced Al Rosen to ground out Simmons zipped through the American league lineup in the second, striking out Robinson and yielded his only hit-a- 7 1QH0H BEAUTIFUL FLOORS ARe QUICK AND EASY TO v($ GET AND KEEP WITH & A Dry-ln-An-Hour zvnoivTE Thij lustrous, quick-drying finish requires no polishing, cleans . easily, is not marred by hot water, strong soaps, fruit acid, lye or grease, and OUTWEARS PAINT AND VARNISH 3 TIMES Clear end in 12 rich colors For wood, linoleum, concrete and wherever smooth, bright, hard, cleanable, durable surfaces are wanted, indoor or out YN O LYTE PRODUCTS COMPANY IOS ANGEIES 6.

GREAT STRAIGHT BOURBON 11 I San Francisco U.R) Leon Brinkopf, the most valuable player on the Los Angeles team in 1951, looked Wednesday like a sure bet to win the honor again 'this season. ' The Angel third sackef, whose fine fielding, 25 home runs and 93 RBI s won him a shot with the Chicago Cubs in the spring, is. one of those players who ap parently is too good for the PCL but just a flea bite away from the majors. Brinkopf trailed Seattle's Jim Rivera last season in the race for the Coast league's most valu able player award. The 30-year-old righthander started slowly when he rejoined Los Angeles two months ago. But he is picking up fast. Drives in All Runs Brinkopf boomed out his 11th and 12th homers of the season Tuesday night, batting home all six Los Angeles runs as the An gels downed Seattle, 6-3. His second of two three-run homers came off Paul Calvert in the ninth with the score tied, 3-3. Hollywood's Carlos Bernier, a good bet to be the 1952 player of the year if the Stars win the pennant, stole his 42nd base and doubled home two runs in his mates' 7-1 win from Sacra mento. Johnny Lindell, the loop's winningest pitcher, twirl ed a six-hitter for the win his 13th. The victory moved Holly wood to within half-a-game of the idle Oakland Acorns' PCL lead. San Francisco got out of the cellar ,with a 3-2 win from San Diego. Portland at Oakland did not play and will make up the game Friday night.

Klamath's Cokes beat Med ford twice in an earlier series here and Medford needs to take both frays this time to stay in the running for the district dia dem. Only Klamath and Medford are now left in the district. Lakeview, which has trouble fielding a nine, has dropped out. Series Slated If the Medfordites can win twice this week-end, the title will be -decided the following week-end in a three-game series at Klamath. Those three games, however, are planned regard less of the outcome of this week's struggles. The juniors have shown con siderable improvement since last facing Klamath and back ers feel that they have a fine chance this week-end of knot ting the standings. Links Two-Ball Slated Friday A mixed two-ball golf four some meet is planned at Rogue Valley Country club on Fri day, July 18, from 4 to 6 p. m. It is one of a number of the season series in competition for the Wirietrout trophy FIGHT EYED Philadelphia (U.R) Promoter Herman Taylor disclosed ' Wed nesday he planned to stage a middleweight title fight be tween Sugar Ray Robinson and Kid Gavilan at Municipal Sta dium in September. "I'll do it if I can make the match," he said "They should outdraw Monday's fight." Bears Blast Tyees Again In WIL Race Philadelphia (U.R) It may not have been the most exciting of the 19 All-Star games, but it certainly was the muddiest. A steady downpour, which made a bog of the diamond, cur tailed the classic for the first time since its ihception, brought some hardly-justified boos upoh the head of. Phil Rizzuto, nearly made a goat of Jackie Robinson, and cheated several newcomers from their first chance to ap pear in the game. Umpire Al Barlick said the playing conditions were just about the worst in which he had ever officiated. By the time the game was called after five in nings, with the National league ahead, 3 to 2, many of the rain soaked players and fans were just as happy. Ritkuto Slips Rizzuto drew some catcalls in the fourth innihg when he grounded into an inning-ending double play. Many thought he had been loafing on his way to first base. He was thrown out by a wide margin, despite an er rant relay from Jackie Robin son. The hooters, it appeared, had been WatChihg the ball and never saw Rizzuto slip in the sloppy going after hitting the ball. Robinson also slipped while going after a ground-ball single by Eddie Robinson of the White Sox ih the midst of the Amer ican Leaguers' two-run scoring spree in the top of the fourth. Causes Noted Philadelphia (U.R) What beat the American league for the third straight time in the All-Star game? "The rain," said Casey Sten gel, manager of the vanquished Americans. "Home runs," said Leo Du roeher, manager of the victori ous Nationals. Each made his case. Still Had Chance Said "Stengel: "At the time they stopped it, We still had a chance to come back and win. It was slippery around home plate. Three or four of our bat ters almost fell. down. They couldn't get off to a start when they hit the ball." Said Duroeher, with brassy sarcasm: "I did a helluva man aging job, didn't I? All I had to do is stand in the third base coaching box and shake hands with the home run hitters as they went by." .
