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).

Homer Provides
One of Biggest
Thrills for Stan
Milwaukee, Wis. (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.
