MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE Medfo: UNE SIPdDIBTr PIERCE, FRIEND HILL PICKS FOR ALL-STAR Monday, July 9. 195S - - " ' NJ SALE STARTS TUESDAY, JULY 10th By LEO H. PETERSON United Press Sports Writer Washington (U.R) Mickey Mantle of the New York Yan kees will start in Tuesday's All Star baseball game, and the starting pitchers will be Billy Pierce of the Chicago White Sox and Bob Friend of the Pitts burgh Pirates. Mantle's status and the iden tity of the starting pitchers were cleared up today at a joint American-National League news con ference. Earl Hilligan, American league public relations director, said that "as of now" Mantle definite ly will start in center field for the American league All-Stars. There had been doubt Mantle could start because of an injury to his right knee suffered in the first game of the Fourth of July doubleheader with the Boston Red Sox. Hilligan said that Casey Sten gel, manager of the American league All-Stars and of the New York Yankees, will watch Mantle warm up before game time Tues day. Friend Feeli Okay "If Mickey seems okay, he will go," Hilligan said. "If not, Jimmy Piersall of the Boston Red Sox will start in center field. But as of now, Mantle is the starting center fielder." There also had been some doubt about Friend being able to appear in the game. But Dave Grote of the National League Service Bureau said that he had talked to Friend by telephone this morning and "he feels fine." Robin Roberts of the Phillies ap- . peared to be in line if Friend had been unavailable. Friend will be the first Pitts burgh pitcher ever to start an All-Star game. Stengel also disclosed that his own No. 1' southpaw, Whitey Ford probably would succeed Pierce on the mound for the American leaguers and that still another southpaw. Herb Score of the Cleveland Indians, would follow Ford. Saw Heavy Duty The National League counted on a well-rested pitching staff to win Tuesday's classic at Griffith Stadium. The National League has won five of the last six games. Five of the eight American League All-Star pitchers saw heavy duty in Sunday's games. But only one National league pitcher was used. The National league encoun tered unexpected complications when Bob Friend of the Pitts burgh Pirates was sent to his hotel room in New York to rest following treatment for an ab scessed throat. Friend reported to the Giant-Pirate doubleheader feeling ill and Dr. Anthony Palermo, the Giant team physi cian examined him, lanced his throat and instructed him to take it easy. Manager Walter Alston of the NL squad was in the unique position of being the manager of the defending world cham pions, yet without a single mem ber of his team in the starting lineup. Five Redlegs Start The exhuberant fans of Cin cinnati took care of that, voting in five of their high-flying Red legs in the balloting in which they were encouraged to vote more than once. li f V 11 I 1 v"' "7 ItQftl"- saving event you've been waiting for ...

USC, Cal Plastered By League Officials San Francisco U.R) Pacific Coast, conference schools were warned today to have their "self examination" reports in the commissioner's hands by next Sunday in the wake of drastic new fines and bans that just about ruined the West's Rose Bowl chances for the next couple of years. The PCC faculty representa tives nlastered a $63,400 fine on University of Southern Califor nia Sunday, banned the school from the Rose Bowl for two years and just about wrecked the football team by declaring that 42 of its players lose a year of eligibility. The University of California was slapped with a $25,000 fine because of illegal aid to athletes given by Head Football Coach Lynn (Pappy) Waldorf, and put on a year's probation. "Several" athletes faced loss of a year of eligibility. The housecleaning isn't through yet. With UCLA out of the bowl for three years and under a $95,000 fine and Wash ington out for two years and with a $52,000 fine, there still were some other schools who must face the music. Others Must Prove The organization hasn't re ceived the reports yet on Wash ington State, Oregon, Oregon State and Stanford. Idaho is in eligible for the Rose Bowl But in a tersely worded state ment, the faculty representatives indicated the other schools must prove everything is on the up-and-up to get a clean bill of health. - Both the USC and California penalties came as a result of findings turned over to the'PCC by UCLA after it was given its severe slap. But the rap on USC was rugged. "We found that 44 athletes, two of whom were from the track and field squad, were re ceiving $45 a month above the $75 allowed by the PCC code," said Commissioner Victor O. Schmidt. Tile violation at California amounted to only $1,713.40, but it involved 29 student athletes. Most of this money was in the form of "loans" to the athletes, and the athletes have been de clared ineligible, but can be re instated by repaying the loans. California, however, was not banned from possible Rose Bowl participation and will share in the Rose Bowl receipts. Marv Clark Southwest Golf Champ Coos Bay (U.R) Marv Clark, a 52-year-old veteran amateur golfer from Grants Pass yester day won the Southwest Oregon Amateur tournament here by unseating Don Bick, 21-year-old defending titlist.
