Rest Works Wonders for Mays;
Homers Spark Win Over Pirates
Br MILTON RICHMAN
United PrM Sports Writer
A little rest did miracles for
Don Newcombe of the Dodgers
and it's working even greater
-wonders today for amazing Wil
lie Mays of the Giants.
Mays, whose batting average
dipped as low as .267 last month,
has looked like an entirely new
ball player since returning to ac
tion June 21 after he was
benched for the first time in his
life because he was "confused."
All told, the young Giant cen
ter fielder who was named the
most valuable player in the Na
tional League for 1954, has slam
med out 22 hits in 60 times up
and walloped eight homers since
being reinstalled into the line
up. That's a .367 pace and with
it, the Giants don't figure to re
main, in second division much
longer.
Maya Hits Two Homers
Willie smashed his 24th and
25th homers of the year while
leading the Giants to a lopsided
11-1 triumph over the Pirates
TupsHav nicht. Mavs' hitting and
Johnny Antonellis fine four-hit
nitrhinz brought back recoiiec
tions of the Giants' supremacy
The league-leading Dodgers,
who still keep an eye peeiea on
the Giants, even though the
world champions are 17 games
back, dropped their first game
of the season in Pniiadeipnia Dy
hnwinc tn the Phillies. 5-4.
Robin Roberts batted in three
runs in helping himself to his
12th victory but it was Andy
Kpminirk's two-run homer in the
eighth inning that spelled the
margin of victory. Roberts was
nicked for Duke Snider's 28th
homer and finally gave way to
Jack Meyer in the nintn wnen
Brooklyn put together four hits
for its final two runs. Meyer
came in, however,' and retired
Gil Hodges for the final out.
Cincinnati nipped St. Louis,
5-4, in a game marked by a free-for-all
by both clubs that was
touched off when rival managers
Birdie Tebbetts and Harry Wal
ker swapped punches in the
ninth-inning single drove in the
winning run in the ninth after
Ted Kluszewski and Bobby
Adams had homered for Cincin
nati and Red Schoendienst, Joe
Frazier and Bill Virdon .had
done likewise for St. Louis. Re
liever Joe Black was the winner.
The Braves and Cubs were
not scheduled.
A's Best Indians
In the-only game played in the
American League, Hector Lopez'
eighth-inning homer off Early
Wynn gave Kansas City a 4-3
victory and knocked Cleveland
out of second place.' : '
Shortstop Joe DeMaestri ended
Wynn's string of 29 scoreless
innings when he opened the
game with a homer and the Ath
letics added another run in the
first inning. Homers by Al Smith
and Jim Hegan tied the score at
3-all off little Bobby Shantz.
Tom Gorman, who relieved
Shantz in the eighth, gained his
fourth triumph while Wynn suf
fered his third loss.

MAIL TRIBUHE
Major Loop All-Star
Skippers Draw Fire
After Listing Squads
New York fiJ.R Leo Dur
ocher and Al Lopez, rival mana
gers for the 1955 All-Star game,
were being bombarded by com
plaints already today, less than
24 hours after announcing their
personnel for the annual mid
summer classic at Milwaukee,
July 12.
Durocher was under fire on
two counts:
1. He by -passed National
League batting leader Richie
Ashburn of the Phillies.
2. He appeared to be favoring
his own Giants' pitching staff by
also passing up veteran Sal Mag-
lie 9-4, a 38-year-old right hander
who can use a rest.
' Lopez, the Cleveland skipper
who will manage the American
League All-Stars, also was the
target of criticism for passing
over first baseman Bill Skowron
of the Yankees while selecting
six of his own Indian players.
Durocher immediately snapped
back at' charges that he was giv
ing the "cold shoulder" to Ash
burn, who is hitting .342.
"We simply had to have some
right-handed hitting to go with
all those left-handed hitters
picked, by the fans," said the an
noyed Giant manager.
"I have to start four left-handed
hitters Ted Kluszewski, Ed
die Mathews, Duke Snider and
Don Mueller and with Roy
Campanella hurt, I might start
Smoky Burgess, another Heft
handed hitter. We're over bal
anced with left-handed hitters.
If I picked Ashburn the Ameri
can League would have us at a
disadvantage. .
Durocher said he talked the
matter over with National
League President Warren Giles
and "we felt we had to have
some right-handed power on the
team to win."
Regarding the charge that he
was purposely giving Maglie
more rest, Durocher wouldnt
dignify it' with a reply. He did
say, however:
"I went along entirely with
the consensus of the other man
agers on the pitching staff. I
did not pick the pitchers my
self." Pitching Staff
Four right-handed pitchers
and three southpaws were nam
ed to the N. L. squad. The
staff was headed by Don .New
combe, Brooklyn's 14-game win
ner, and the other three right
handers were Robin Roberts
(12-7) of the Phillies, Gene Con
ley (9-5) of the Braves and Sam
Jones (9-9) of the Cubs. The
lefthanders chosen vere rookie
Luis Arroyo (9-3) of the Cardin
als, Joe Nuxhall (8-5) of the Red
legs and Harvey Haddix (5-9) of
the Cardinals. .
Durocher chose Del Crandall
of the Braves and Burgess pf
the Redlegs to back up Camp
anella, the catcher selected by
the fans. He also : designated
Gene Baker and Randy Jackson
of the Cubs, Stan Musial of the
Cards, Gil Hodges of the Dodg
ers and Johnny Logan of the
Braves to augment the fans' in
field choices of Red Schoen
dienst of the Cards, Ernie Banks
of the Cubs and Mathews and
Kluszewski.
. In the outfield, Durocher
picked his own Willie Mays,
Hank Aaron of the Braves and
Frank Thomas of the Pirates.
The fans chose Duke Snider of
the Dodgers, Del Ennis of the
Phils and Mueller.
Named as coaches by Duroch
er were managers Fred Haney
of the Pirates and Mayo Smith
of the Phillies. Bob Buhl and
Chet Nichols of the Braves were
designated batting practice pitch
ers while. Coach Bob Keely, also
of the Braves, was named batting
practice catcher. "
The six Cleveland players Lo
pez picked were pitchers Early
Wynrt and Herb Score, infielders
Bobby Avila and Al Rosen and
outfielders Larry Doby and Al
Smith.
Lopes Names Two Yankees
While Lopez skipped Skow
ron, who is hitting .365. he
named two otner members of
the Yankees, right-handed pitch
er Bob Turley (10-7) and left
hander Whitey Ford (10-3).
Rounding out the American
League pitching staff are two
White Sox hurlers, right-hander

Mitt Encounter
' Detroit U.R Bert White
hurst, Baltimore heavyweight,

Memorial Hospital today after
