SIPdDKOTS Eugene Wins Over Indians ' By UNITED PRESS Eugene Manager Cliff Dapper dusted off his crystal ball again last, night, got a clear picture, and picked another game-saving relief hurler. Dapper called on Frank Chase during a four-run Spokane out burst in the fourth inning. Chase allowed, but one run in five and one-third innings and Eugene ev entually posted a 10-5 Northwest league victory. Chase banged an infield single in the seventh which drove in the eventual winning run but the Emeralds added four in' the ninth on three hits, one a .two run double by Art Preston, one error and two walks. Yakima teed off on four Wen atchee hurlers for a 17-1 victory over the Chiefs. Chief offenders were Lee Maye with two bases empty homers, Sam Mitchell and . Gary Bobbins with a three-run circuit clout. Joe Jacobs doubled and cross ed on Raul Dieppa's single in the seventh for the eventual win ning run as Lewiston nicked Tri City 8-5. The Broncs added two insurance runs in the eighth. Poor Fielding Spoils Stars' Chance; Pads Beat Portland 7 to 4 By PETER HAYYES United Press Sports Writer ' A familiar bugaboo sloppy fielding cost the Hollywood Stars a chance to maintain their sizzling drive to the top of the Pacific Coast league last night The Stars, third in the stand ings but last in team fielding, made six errors in the second game of a double header with San Francisco and lost, 12-5 af ter winning the opener, 3-1. Five of those six errors were com mitted in the second inning when the Seals scored 10 runs all unearned. The left side of the Hollywood infield accounted for all six mis- cues. Shortstop Dick Smith boot ed two, as did third baseman George Freese whose second er ror was on a ground ball that dislocated Freese's thumb. He was replaced by Jack Lohrke who contributed two more er rors. Pitcher Don Fracchia, Chuck Stevens and Bill Serena each drove in three runs in the big second inning with a double, a home run and a pop fly lost in the halflight of dusk respectively. The Seals too were generous to a fault in the first game, mak ing three errors which resulted in two unearned runs. Ben Wade (3-1) pitched a four-hitter in the seventh-inning open er. Other Games Elsewhere, San Diego clung to its two game league lead with a 7-4 win over Portland; Seattle came from behind to score a 4-3 decision over Sacramento, and Los Angeles downed Oakland, 4-1, in the first game of a double header with the Oaks coming back to take the closer, 5-1. In San Diego,.the Padres chas ed started Bill Werle (11-4) with a fiyerun flurry in the first in ning on five singles and Milt Smith's double. That was enough for Padre starter Charlie Bishop (4-3), al though he wasn't around at the finish. Tommy Herr era replaced him in the seventh when the Beavers scored their third and fourth runs. Vera Stephens got Seattle off to a 1-0 lead in the fourth in ning with his second home run since joining the club last week. But the Sacs tied it up and took the lead in the sixth. Seattle won it in the eighth when Jerry Zuvela tripled home two runs and scored on Stephens' single. Lou Stopped '. Lou Kretlow's string of score less innings was stopped at '28 credit for his fifth win against and one-third although he took no defeats. Van Fletcher and Bill Kennedy finished for the Rainiers. Los Angeles outhit Oakland 10-8 in the seven-inning first game in movie town with Hal Rice leading the way with three singles that figured in the Angel scoring. Joe Hatten (6-4) blank ed the Oaks until the sixth when they scored their lone run on three singles. The Oaks took the nightcap behind Chris Van Cuyk's five- hit pitching. Billy Consolo hit a two-run homer for Oakland in the third inning, and the vis- itors added three unearned runs in the seventh inning as a result of a bad throw by losing pitch er Jim Brosnan (8-8).

(U.R) Stan Musial's personal "great mo ments" had an added kicker to day, his 12th inning home run which gave the National League a 6-5 victory over the American League in the 22nd annual All Star game Tuesday. "It was one of my biggest thrills," he said. "And I'd rank it along with my five home runs against the New York Giants in St. Louis last year and my first World Series appearance with the Cardinals in 1942." "It was the best pitch I saw all day against those guys," Musial said, tabbing the pitch he whacked out of the park as a belt-high fast ball. Not Pitch Called For Pitcher Frank Sullivan of the Boston Red Sox, who threw the ball, thought it was even a little higher than that, but said it wasn't the pitch catcher Yogi Berra of the New York Yankees called for. Berra wanted the pitch "in tight," but it wasn't and it never reached him. Musial said he knew "the moment I hit it that it was out of the park." Gene Conlay, the stringbean righthander from the Milwaukee Braves, said it was "unquestion ably my biggest thrill" to re ceive credit for winning the game. He was charged with the loss in the 1954 game. Sullivan, charged with the de feat in his first All-Star appear ance, was dejected and practical ly speechless as he sat before his locker, head bowed, for more than 10 minutes before he dressed. P.Andrews Foe Tonight Of Charles Chicago (U.R) Boxer Paul Andrews battles ex-heavyweight champion Ezzard Charles in the Chicago stadium tonight with re cognition as a heavyweight pros pect his major possible prize. Charles, who lost the crown to Jersey Joe Walcott and then lost three times in attempts to regain it against Walcott and the current titleholder. Rocky Marciano, was a 9-5 choice to win the 10 round television snec- tacle. But Andrews foresaw a differ ent result, and he anticipated that his victory would earn him an Aug. 3 bout against Hurri cane Tommy Jackson in Syra cuse, N.Y., a scran already as signed to Charles. I hope a win would put me in the too ten heawweiehts." Andrews said, "but I don't know that means much now. They're shifting so much. Most Important "This has got to be bit most important fight, because Charles will be the most hichlv rated fighter I've ever met. He's very smart, and he's not so bad a boxer as some people think. He's got an elusive style and he's not easy to hit. "But I've seen him fight, and I think I can beat him. Rieht now it's foolish for me to think about fighting Marciano, because im a year away, but beating Charles will be a move that way." - Andrews figured '. he wnnlrl weigh "a solid 186 or 187," while Charles anticipated he would go about 192 or 193. Charles rated Andrews as an other foe on his pattern of "el imination" aimed at another titte chance with Marciano. "I figure I can eliminate four or five of the possible challeng ers for Marciano by next sorine" he said, "and maybe Rocky will eliminate one or two himself. So maybe by next soring there won't be anybody else that will i - . . De logical ior mm to fight. AGAJANIAN BACK NewYork(U.R) Ben Agajan- ian, 36-year-old placement kick ing specialist and the National Football League's fifth highest point, scorer last - season, has signed his 1955 contract with the New York Giants. Agajanian, who lost the toes on his kicking foot in an accident, scored 75 points in 1954 on 35 extra points and 13 of 25 field goal tries. MUSIAL'S HOMER IN 12th BRINGS 6 TO 5 VERDICT FOR NATIONAL LEAGUE ALL-STARS By FRED PARKER Thanks to one sweet swing by Stan (The Man) Musial, who wasn't even invited to the party, 1 the National League stood at last today within sight of its long-cherished goal rule of the All-Star game. The dramatic 6-5 triumph pro duced by Musial's mighty wal lop in the 12th inning of the "dream game" at County Stadi um Tuesday now has cut the American League's lead in this annual series to just 13 games to nine. That's a far cry from just six years ago when the Americans led by 12-4 a n d a National League comeback seemed a mighty dismal hope indeed. Now Musial's dramatic blast into the right-field stands, on a "too high" pitch by Frank Sul livan of the Boston Red Sox, has extended the National League surge to five victories in the last six games and given "senior" circuit official hope they will even the series in the years just ahead. But come what may in the future, 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 Kluszewski of Cin cinnati 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 outfielder 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, Tils homer was his fourth, breaking the All-Star record of three he 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 12th 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 Game It was the second extra-inning game in All-Star history. Oddly enough, the first a 14-inning affair in 1950 was broken up by a homer by Red Schoen- dienst, Musial's roommate on the Cardinals. There was no hint of such a wind-up as the game began with the underdog American Lea' guers ripping into starting pitcher Robin Roberts- of the Phillies for four runs in the first inning. Harvey Kuenn and Nel lie Fox rapped Roberts for sin gles, and Kuenn scooted home on a wild pitch by control artist Roberts. Then Mickey Mantle followed with what seemed the "crusher," a three-run homer over the 402-foot centerfield fence. The A. L. boosted the margin to 5-0 with a sixth inning run off Harvey Haddix on Yogi Berra's single and Al Kaline's double. It looked like the Americans were home free; instead they were washed up. Conley Gets Win. Don Newcombe of Brooklyn (one inning), Sam Jones of Chi cago (one), Joe Nuxhall of Cin cinnati (three) and Gene Con ley of Milwaukee (one) shut out the A. L. the rest of the way. Conley, last year's losing pitch er, got the win this time for striking out the side in the 11th 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, Kluszewski, Ransom Jackson, and Aaron sin gled behind Mays, Jackson took third on Aaron's blow and scored the tying run when out fielder Al Kaline's throw went through third-baseman Al Rosen.' That set the stage for "Stan The Man." Musial, named to the squad as a sub by Manager Leo Durocher of the Giants, was sent into the game by Durocher in the. fourth inning in left field. Under All Star rules, which requires the starters to play at least three inning, that was the soonest Stan could appear. Durocher couldn't have made a smarter move. BOX: National Learn AB K H O.
