Antonelli Victory; Junior Loop Hurling By LEO H. PETERSEN United Pri Sports Edilor Washington (U.PJ Walter Alston credited the clutch relief pitching of Johnny Antonelli as the major factor today in the National league's 7-3 victory in the 23rd renewal of the All-Star game. "Of course, that hitting didn't hurt us, either," said the Dodg er manager who piloted the Na tional leaguers to their sixth win in the last seven All-Star games. "But Antonelli went out there and shut the door in their faces just when it looked like maybe they were going to catch up with us." Casey Stengel, who lost his fifth game in six tries as the manager of an American league team, agreed that pitching beat us. "Theirs and Ours," he said. He refused to go along with a ques tioner who asked if he thought he was jinxed as an All-Star pilot. "Jinx, hell," he snapped. "Give me some pitching and I'll win." He agreed with Alston that Antonelli was a key factor, but added. "Their third baseman Ken Boyer of the Cardinals made some good plays and some good hits." Pierce Losing Hurler Boyer got three of the 11 hits with which the Nationals bom barded the six pitchers whom Stengel used, starting with Billy Pierce, the 13-game winner of the Chicago White Sox, who was charged with the loss when he yielded the Nationals' first run in the third inning. Boyer's hits were all singles, but he batted in a run and scor ed another. Willie Mays and Stan Musial, each with home runs, and big Ted Kluszewski with two doubles, did the long range clouting. That more than offsett the two home runs which accounted for the American league scoring In the sixth inning. The Ameri cans were behind, 5-0, when Ted Williams belted his fourth AU- Star homer with Nellie Fox on Greyhound Race Site Remains To Be Selected Portland (U.R) One thing was assured today after the Multnomah Kennel club applied to the state racing commission for a shift in the location of its planned racing schedule there will be dog races this summer. The question that remained and it may be answered in a meeting Friday is where the dogs will run. Both the Multno mah county fairgrounds and Portland Meadows have said the Kennel club would be welcome to -use their 'facilities. Meeting yesterday, two of three Multnomah county com missioners approved the apph cation of the club to hold the races at the fairgrounds. The racing would be held after the county fair, giving racing fans 40 to SO days of the sport at the temporary plant. Track Offered Officials of Portland Meadows also formally, offered the track for use by the Kennel club this summer. The state racing commission took both offers under advise ment. Officials of the Kennel club indicated that stock will be of fered for sale to the public to finance completion of the dog track being built just east of Portland. Work on the track was halted earlier this year when costs began to outdistance pre liminary estimates by a wide margin. Athletics Obtain -Wally Burnette Kansas City. Mo. (U.R) The Kansas City Athletics, sunk in the American league cellar due In a large part to lack of pitch ing. today announced purchase oi hurler Wally Burnette from the Denver Bears of the Ameri can association, and two other player changes. The A's sold left-hander Tom Lasorda, who has a 0-4 mark, to Denver and called up outfielder AI Pilarcik from Columbus of the International league. Tues day night, they announced that infielder Ranee Pless had been optioned to Richmond of the In ternational league. ANYONE FOR MEASLES? Brighton, England (U.R) A doctor advised British girls Tues day to hold German measles tea parties so they may catch the disease before expecting a baby. -I would like to see the medical research council run a holiday camp to keep the disease going," Dr. G. I Watson told the British Medical Association. He said the women should have German measles before expecting a child to reduce the chances of her catching them during the criti cal months of her pregnancy. May flies, despite their name, hatch throughout the spring and summer but are most plentiful during the early weeks of June. Key Factor In ML All-Star base and Mickey Mantle, who struck out three times, followed with another homer. These blows came off Warren Spahn, the second of the three hurlers Alston used. That's when Antonelli came in and took over.

Kindall, all Big Ten and Ail American on the Minnesota team which won the conference and national collegiate champion ships this year, signed with the Cubs, even though the team is stronger at shortstop with Ernie Banks than at any other position. "I thought about that," Kin dall said today, "but Sid Mat thews talked so nice, and they offered more money than any body else, so I signed. Kindall, who has appeared so far only as a pinch runner, will get every chance at another posi tion. Manager Stan Hack said, even though he might not break into the lineup until after spring training next year. Stick With Banks "You don't weaken two posi tions to strengthen one," Hack said, "so I'm not thinking of moving banks into the outfield to put Kindall at short. But I think a shortstop can play about any position. "He could get into the -lineup this year, under certain circum stances, but right now we're go ing to carry him along to let him see the other parks and teams and learn something. I've seen him in batting practice and in field drill, and he handled him self well. But that's all I can say until I see more of him." Kindall, a good hitter in col lege with a .379 batting average and 12 home runs in 31 games this season, said he had to learn to hit a curve a year ago and that helped him. He also worked to go "in the hole" to handle balls. "I know the curve up here isn't the curve I've been hitting," he said, "but I hit the ones they threw in college." Medford Nines Cop Games in Pee Wee League Medford Tigers took over j lone hold on second place and i the Medford Wildcats took sole : grasp on fourth spot in the pee j wee southern division of the Southern Oregon Junior Base ball circuit with victories yester- day. The Tigers swamped Eagle Point 25 to 0 and the Wildcats nipped Ashland 6 to 5. Bob Quinney pitched a two- j hitter against Eagle Point. Jerry : Piland slapped three hits in : three times up and Larry Ham- ack slammed a double and a j triple. Weidman got both Eagle i bmgles. Fontaina Doubles Mike Glines walked and stole ! second base and Johnny Fon- j taine two-baggered in the fourth inning to produce the Wildcats' winning tally. Both Medford and Ashland clubs scored four runs in the opening inning when each 1 was yielded three bases on balls. 1 The 'Cats went in front 5 to 4 in the second inning but Ashland deadlocked the fuss in the third. Chucker Glines held Ashland to its one run over the last four innings. Dave Guches doubled home two Wildcat runs in the opening panel. SHORT SCORE: R. Ha E.

IBUNE Match Play smoke clears away tonight only 16 will be left from the field of 64 that started this morning. Unlike the pros in tournament play, "these Sunday morning swingers" didn't have the op portunity to make up for that "bad first nine." Today's 36 holes separated the men from the boys in a hurry. The spotlight centered on two men: 1. Scotty McBeath of Palo Alto, Calif., who won medalist honors with a 69-72 141 for the 36 holes of qualifying play that ended Tuesday. 2. Big Jim North, a 265-pound ex-professional football player from North Bend, Wash., who can clout the ball farther than any man in the world. North doesn't have the finesse possessed by McBeath, but he doesn't need it. He gets home in two on most of the par-five holes and on the par four holes he usually needs only his driver and a wedge or nine-iron to make the green. McBeath met Ferd Hubert, Pekin, 111., in the first round. Hubert was at the tail end of the qualifiers with a 155. North, who took 154 strokes to get into the match play, took on 125-pound Billy Joe Lauer, an 18-year-old student from Spo kane, Wash., who qualified with a 155 also. The tournament moved along without defending champion Sam Kocsis, who was called to his home in Detroit, Mich., by the death of his father-in-law. Rocky Undergoes Spinal Therapy Brockton, Mass. (U.R) Re tired heavyweight chamn i n n Rocky Marciano today began treatments aimed at averting possible surgery tor a ruptured spinal disc suffered while romp ing with his 3-year-old daughter. Dr. Nathaniel Gould, ortho pedic surgeon at Brockton Hos pital, said the 31-year old Mar ciano would receive rest, heat massage and physiotherapy treat ments "for two or three weeks." If the treatments iail to cor rect the condition caused last week, "the question of surgery will then have to be consid ered," Gould said Tuesday after diagnosing the injury. Rocky was confident that sur gery would not be necessary. But he reiterated strongly that even if the condition is cleared up he has no intention of return ing to the ring. 4 Big Reasons WHY YOU SHOULD USE CONCRETE I TRU-MIX CONCRETE li scientifically designed, controlled ind ' mixed. 2- TRU-MIX CONCRETE often maximum convenience on the job. 4 You knew what each cubic yard of TRU-MIX CONCRETE will cost.

SPECIFY and INSIST on TRU-MIX CONCRETE fck-a2-5271 Falters Williams called him "a helluva pitcher." "I was warned to watch for his fast ball, but he showed me nothing but slow stuff with a fast ball motion," Williams said. "He really fooled me." Pitched Four Innings Antonelli yielded four hits, two to the first two batters he faced in the sixth, and the other two with one man out in the ninth. Actually the Giant southpaw pitched four innings. Under All-Star rules no pitcher can start more than three in nings unless the game goes into extra innings, but Antonelli was permitted to go as long as he did because he did not start the sixth. The National league also scor ed off Whitey Ford, Jim Wilson and Tom Brewer, who followed Pierce in that order. Only Herb Score, who hurled the eighth and Early Wynn, who worked the ninth, were able to hold the Nationals at bay. The run off Pierce came when Roy McMillan, one of the five Cincinnati Redlegs in the start ing line-up, singled, went to sec ond on Friend's sacrifice, and scored on Johnny Temple's single. Ford started out well enough when he struck out Musial to open the fourth, but then Boyer singled and Mays, pinch hitting for Gus Bell, hit his home run. Stengel called on Wilson, a right hander, :n the fifth. Temple greeted him with a bunt single down the third base line and he went to second as Musial ground ed out. Boyer's third single scor ed him. Big Klu Scores In the sixth, Brewer felt the sting of the National league bats. Kluszewski, batting for Dale Long, doubled, went to third on McMillan's pop single over first base and scored on a wild pitch. Brewer gave up two more runs in the seventh. With one out Musial homered. Brewer got Boyer the only time the Car dinal third baseman was retired but Mays walked and raced all the way home on Kluszew ski's second double. That ended the National league scoring but it was more than enough. It was the National league's 10th victory against 13 defeats in the mid-summer dream game. In addition to the American league pitching, there was one other thing which did not come up to expectations. That was the crowd. It totaled 28,843, more than 1,000 short of capac ity.

Northwest V Members in 6-Way Knot By RAY ANDREWS United Press Spoiti Wiiter No one could point a finger at the Northwest League today and accuse the circuit of being un balanced. All six teams which have seen action are tied with identical 1-1 marks after two games of the second half. Tri-City topped Salem 8-1, Eugene beat Wenatchee 11-3 and Yakima thumped Lewiston 15 3 to reverse defeats of the first night of the second semester. Danny Holden returned to the Tri-City lineup for the first time since June 25 when he was side lined with a broken toe. He belted the first pitch out of the park for a 2-run homer in the first frame and the Braves were off and running behind Vern Kindsfather. Thro Hitler Hurled Kindsfather pitched 3-hit ball, gave up one unearned run,, notched his 12th victory of the year and lowered his season's earned run mark to 2.07 runs per game. Eugene sent ten men to the plate in the ninth inning and got seven runs to cap its victory over Wenatchee.

(U.R) Cuban heavyweight contender Nino Valdes meets Eddie Machen in a 10-round bout tonight which can "make or break" his pro career. Bobby Gleason, the 31-year-old Cuban's manager, concedes Valdes can't afford a defeat and adds, "if he loses, I may ask him to retire." However, Gleason predicted that Valdes would re verse a loss to the lOth-ranked Machen earlier this year. Machen, a 24-year-old slugger who will enter the ring with 14 straight victories as a pro, is expected to weigh in at 195 pounds and will be conceding Valdes about 10'pounds. tory and spaced nine hits. He had trouble only with Don Lund berg who hit a solo homer in the fifth and Larry Segovia who belted a two-run circuit blow in the seventh. Yakima unloaded 16 hits for its easy decision over Lewiston. Vince Moreci led the way with a pair of homers. The contest was delayed 42 minutes in the sev enth because of a power failure.
