Three Detroit Tigers wiuieiaer AI Kaline, shortstop Harry Kuenn, and third base man Ray Boone were chosen, along with two Chicago White Sox players second baseman Nellie Fox and pitcher Billy Pierce and two Boston Red Sox players, outfielder Ted Wil liams and first baseman Mickey Vernon. There was little or no con test for most of the positions and the t;am was the same as the 1955 American League UP All Star squad except that Pierce replaced Early Wynn of Cleve land as one of the two pitchers. Mantle On All 58 Mantle was named on all 58 ballots, Berra on 57, and Wil liams on 52. Two others, Kaline and Fox, received 50 votes each, while Kuenn had 48, Boone 44, Pierce 38, and Ford 25. The only close race was at first base where Vernon had 16 votes to edge out Vic Power of Kansas City with 14 and First baseman Bill Skow ron of the Yankees with 12. Mantle, the triple crown cham pion of the majors with a .353 batting average, a total of 130 runs batted in and 52 homers, clearly deserved his unanimous election. But there was a pow erful array behind him. Williams pursued him closely for the batting title down the stretch and wound up with a MS average and 82 runs batted in. Kaline was just behind for the RBI title with 128 and a healthy .314 average. Berra was the third man on the squad to drive in 100 or, more runs with Virgil Swanson Commissioner Of Hoop Arbiters Virgil Swanson, Medford, a veteran official, has been re named commissioner of high school basketball referees for the Rogue valley area.

As the official opening day for the Village, Oct. 25, draws clos er, it is a scene of intense activ ity. A huge team of builders, gardeners and even housewives apply finishing touches to the 831 attractive home units, which only a couple of years ago many people thought would remain for ever a fairy tale. Now, the 6,500 visiting inter national Olympic athletes are guaranteed the best accommoda tion ever provided at an Olym piad. There's a good reason for all the care in not letting the locals glance through the village. Mel bourne's a house-hungry place and officials fear too many so- called visitors might decide to take up residence. Housewives Called In Forty-five-year-old Phillip Miskin, a Welshman who s spent 20 years in Australia in the ca tering business, accepted the job as village commandant for the Olympic year, and he is respon sible for making the Olympic vil lage more like a security-ridden atomic proving ground. There's certain amount of pride and common sense in his idea. "I want our working force out there to get all the gardens, and the cleaning up, completed be fore we throw the village open for public appraisal. -"fHtBourbsn iS Votes Star Poll Score, ranked next in the voting with la ballots apiece. It was significant that Yankee World Series hero, Don Larsen, who may win athlete of the year honors for his perfect game no hitter against Brooklyn, did not receive a single vote on the basis of his season performance. Vernon, who had a fine year after being traded to Boston from Washington, batted .310, while Kuenn, always a contend er for the batting title, hit .332 after a slow start. Boone, his running mate at third, was a .308 hitter and batted in 81 runs. Until we erected trr iron curtain, there were thousands of sightseers pouring through each week. They're going to get a real surprise when we throw open the finished job." The best indication of the ad vanced stage of preparations at the village was Miskin's recent appeal for housewives prefer ably those who live in the mush rooming housing estates which surround the Olympic village. He secured 1.600 women who came armed with floor polishers, vacuum cleaners, brooms and dust buckets. Right now, Miskin is utilizing the vanguard of this volunteer force, "to make the houses look as though they've been lived in a little.' Homes for Public "My team of housewives is do ing a great job already," he said. "I want these athletes to feel they're coming into a comfort able home not an austere house with sawdust in all the corners and a heap of building rubble at the back." As the builders departed from the village, a large team of gar deners took over to make the vil lage surroundings as attractive as the homes. The 120-fully-grown-trees proj ect instigated last spring when Swiss gardener Paul de La Cre- ta uprooted the trees from an other Melbourne suburb has proved a winner and most of the trees, aided by guy wires, are now well fettled in their new lo cations. Melbourne had plenty of trou ble over the Village. In a city badly hit by a housing shortage after World War II, there were many people politicians among them who thought veterans had more right to homes than Olympic athletes. The Olympic committee solv ed that one by making a deal with Victoria's Housing commis sion, which agreed to swing some of its vast home building re sources onto the Olympic proj ect, provided the homes would be readily available for homeless citizens immediately the Olymp ic exodus was completed. There are many families bid ding right now for a home in this model suburb. Atter ine Olympics are concluded, there will be 831 lucky families living at Heidleberg. Olympic Cagers Need Sharpening College Park, Md. (U.R) The U. S. Olympic basketball team chalked up its third straight victory today but Loach ueraia Tucker conceded .it's still far from sharp. The Olympians walloped tne Eastern All Stars, 82-62, before m son fans Wednesday night but they connected on only 32 of 92 shots from the floor and led by only 33-31 at half time. In addition, the Olympians mis std 14 of 32 free throws foul hooting that would make a high school team blush. Nine out of 10 forest fires are caused by man, the National Geographic Society says.
