HOW MEDIUM) (ORCOOm Ted Williams, Mick Mantle Display Punch As Red Sox Score Victory, Yankees Divide Br FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer The' American league All' Stars are supposed to lack the punch of their National league rivals but don't be surprised if Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle & Co., turn Tuesday's 22nd mid summer classic into a slugfest. Williams, Mantle, shortstop Harvey Kuenn and third base man Jim Finigan all demon strated in Sunday's games that they're swinging hot bats with a combined showing of 6 home runs and 13 runs batted in. All told, the quartet produced 11 hits in 27 at bats for a .407 mark. With them showing the way, the A.L.'s eight starters .came up with a .354 average. The National league's seven certain starters and one likely starter, meanwhile, produced only one home run and four runs batted in in Sunday's games although they combined for a .292 average. Ted Klus- zewski accounted for the hom er. No. 29 for the Cincinnati slugger and Red Schoendienst, Ernie Banks and Duke Snider drove in one run each.. . Williams, who'll carry a .393 average into his 11th All-Star game, clouted his 12th homer of the year to help the Boston Red Sox down the Baltimore Orioles, 10-7. s The blow sent the, Red Sox off to a 3-0 lead in the first in hing but they had to rally for ' five runs in the eighth frame to score their 14th victory in 16 games and 29th in 36 games since June 3 when they were 10 games below the .500 mark. To day they're firmly entrenches in fourth place and only two games behind the second-place Cleveland Indians. r Mantle, the A.L.'s starting center fielder, unfurled three homers and drove in a total of fount runs as the New York Yankees split a doubleheader with the Washington Senators. Mantle hit two off southpaw Dean Stone in the opener al though the Yankeess lost, 6-4. and then blasted No. 21 of the season as New York took the nightcap, 8-3. ' Kuenn hit a homer and drove in three runs and Ray Boone hammered in five runs to spark the Detroit Tigers to a 10-1 tri umph after the Kansas City A's won their opener, 9-5. Kuenn bad four hits in nine at-bats and drove in four runs during the doubleheader while Jim Finigan. sparked the A's with three its including a homer, and knocked in two runs. - . Virgil Trucks and Sandy Con cuegra combined in a five-hitter to give the Chicago White Sox a 4-2 triumph after the Indians won the - opener, 5-2. All-Star rookie Herb Score suffered the second-game loss for Cleveland although Bob Nieman's two-run homer off Mike Garcia actually produced the winning runs. In the opener. Art Houtteman gained credit for his sixth win with relief help from Don Mossi and Ray Narleski. Lead Upped By Glendale : Glendale stretched its lead in the Rogue Valley baseball league on . Sunday while the Grants Pass Stars pulled into a tie with Camp White for second place. . Glendale whipped Ashland 11 to 7, Grants Pass clubbed Camp White 14 to 9 and Butte Falls smeared Eagle Point 24 to 4 around the circuit. Manager Ive McKinney has been told by RVL President Bill Brown that an early sea son win for Camp White over Grants Pass will count in the standings.

Geiger handcuffed Medford with a . , three-hitter. Saturday night while the Seattle-Tacoma contingent had two. big innings of four and three runs to bounce the Medf ordites 9 to 2. On Sun day the Washingtonians got the advantage of. a dropped fly ball in the extra 10th inning and surged for three runs for an 8 to 6 decision over their southern Oregon foes. Sunday's battle was a wild, loose affair and the Medf ordites pretty much had themselves to blame for not coming out on top. Nevertheless, the Puget Sounders were guilty of eight miscues to Medford's four and five of them figured tabulating runs. They took advantage of three Medford misplays, seven of their 11 hits and three of their eight walks in getting markers. Score Tied 5-A1 1 Score was tied at 5-all when Washington came to bat in the lt)th inning. Ozzie Williams pop ped an infield try which Man ager and Third Baseman Clar ence Mellbye failed to hang onto. Williams went all the way to second base. The next two bat ters, Ron Dodge and George Kritsonis flied out, but Bob Jac obs singled to tally Williams and went to second on the throw in. George Grant got an infield single and Pitcher Terry Mad- dox's late throw to third was wild, allowing Jacobs to reach home and Grant to go to third, Rod Faurot singled home Grant. For Medford's only run in the 10th, Bob Selsor slashed a drive to centerfield and circled the bases when Luther Carr failed to nail the ball with a diving try. ; A Medford opportunity to win without an extra panel fizzled in the ninth inning although the tying run came in. The local Studs went to bat trailing 4 to 5. Ron Maurer and Ed McCul lough singled and Mellbye walk ed with none away. Fassett popped out. Jack Cooney flied out and Maurer came home with the tie run; but McCullough was caught at third base for the final out. - " . Medford Goes Ahead Medford took a three run lead in ' the fracas with singles by Terry Maddox, Bob Selsor and Ed McCullough and two errors in the second inning. However, the visitors came right back with three in the third on an error, a base on balls, a double by Dodge and a single by Krit sonis. The Medford gang took the lead again with a fourth-inning run on two errors and Gordon Carrigan's sacrifice. Seattle then went on top 5 to 4 with two runs in the eighth on two walks and singles by Williams and Jacobs. Kritsonis pitched an eight hit fray for Seattle Sunday, fan ning five and -walking three.

But the visitors got three for extra bases and were able to utilize them while taking advantage of Med ford misplays and pitching wild ness. And the Washingtonians threw in a couple of sacrifice flyouts and some stolen bases to help amass their runs. Seattle began its scoring with four unearned tallies in the third. The runs came with two out. Bob Jacobs and George Grant doubled and Luther Carr slammed a single. There were two errors and a passed ball. Three more Washington mar kers crossed in the sixth canto.
