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

Australians Jealously
Guard Olympic Housing
Melbourne (U.R) Alsatian
watchdogs, guards, security pass
es, and an eight-foot fence pre
vent sightseers from witnessing
a $6,075,000 dream unfolding at
the Olympic village at Heidle-
berg, seven and a half miles
from the main stadium for" the
1956 games.
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.
