Three Rediegs Lopped
From National League
AH-Star Starter Nine
By MILTON RICHMAN
United Press Sports Writer
New York 1? A new sys
tem for picking All-Star players
will be introduced next year and
all signs point to a limiting of
the fans' voting power.
The new svstem. in the process
0( being worked out now, will
carry the backing of baseball
Commissioner Ford C. Frick,
who made his dissatisfaction
with the present system obvious
Friday when he readjusted the
base, .419.
Carrol has been with Modesto
in the California league and
Lewiston in the Northwestern
circuit .while Drummie per
formed for Orange Coast Junior
college. Zeleznock is a St. Louis
Cardinal farm player who has
been with Houston in the Texas
league and Allentown in the
Eastern circuit.
Outfielders are Chuch Gritts.
.300; Dave Hennigan. .356, and
Bob Jolly, .304. Gritts has
played for College of the Pacific
and Jolly for Bradley university.
Hennigan, a Sixth Army all-star
in 1956, is the property of Water
loo of the Chicago White Sox
system.
Raoul Rios, .298. and Paul Bil
afer. .298. are catchers, and Bob
Clark, .290, pitcher-utility. Rios
has been in the Cuban and Puer
to Rico leagues and is an accom
plished bullfighter. Bilafer at
tended Boston college and was
an All-Eastern Seaboard hockey

results of the fans' votes for this
year's All-Star Game.
"Something had to be done."
Frick said, when a last-minute
deluge of 550,000 ballots from
the Cincinnati area created a sit
uation whereby eight Redleg
players would have started
against the American league All
Stars in St. Louis, July 9.
Three Rediegs Dropped
So, after telephone conversa
tions with National League Pres
ident Warren Giles and Ameri
can League President Will Har
ridge, Frick ruled that only five
Cincinnati palyers the same
number of Rediegs who started
for the NL last year would be
in the opening lineup this year
instead of eight.
Frick's action, unprecedented
in the 24-year history of the AH
Star Game, resulted in first base
man George Crowe, center field
er Gus Bell and right fielder
Wally Post of the Rediegs being
dropped from the starting lineup
and quite possibly from the All
Star squad.
Designated to start in their
places wer first baseman Stan
Musial of the Cardinals, center
fielder Willie Mays of the Giants
and right fielder Haxik Aaron of
the Braves, each of whom fin
ished runner-up at his position.
Frick's move was generally
applauded in baseball circles.
The commissioner pointed out
that the rush of Cincinnati bal
lots just before Thursday's mid
night deadline had "resulted in
a team which would not be typ
ical of the National league and
which would not meet with the
approval of fans the country
over."
Honesty Unquestioned
Frick stressed that his action
was "no reflection on the sin
cerity or honesty of the Cincin
nati poll." but he explained
their 550.000 ballots were "great
er than the total number of bal
lots cast by all other sections of
the country for a similar period."
Without really meaning to,
Frick actually named the Nation
al league's All-Star team.
The five Cincinnati players
who will start are Johnny Tem
ple at second base; Roy McMillan
at shortstop; Don Hoak at third
base; Frank Robinson in left
field, and Ed Bailey will catch.
Brooklyn manager Walt Alston,
who will pilot the NL All-Stars,
will choose the pitchers and the
reserves.

Monza ' 500.'' The world's fastest

heat Worked ot si of his nin-
American running mates in Eu
rope's first "Indianapolis style"
automobile race.
Troy Ruttman of Lyndale,
Calif., finished second with
America's Johnnie Parsons third.
But the biggest surprise of the
race was the steady performance
of the three British Jaguars,
only European cars to compete.
They hung on without wavering,
through the heat, the battering
banked turns of the elliptical
Monza track and the hot pace,
to wind up fourth, fifth and
sixth.
No Accidents
Track temperature was regis
tered at a blazing 126 degrees at
midafternoon. But despite the
stove-top heat of the track, there
were no accidents or blowouts
in the race, termed by many Eu
ropean racers a "race with sui
cide." Bryan, driving a Dean Van
Lines special, covered the course
in an average speed of 160.057
miles an hour. He was clocked
three hours, seven minutes
and 5.9 second for the 189 laps
of 2.64 miles each.
Ruttman covered 187 laps in
3:07:05.6 at an average speed of
about 158 miles an hour. Par
sons, who comes from Van Nuys.
Calif., toured only 182 laps and
was timed in 3:07:29.0. His aver
age speed was approximately
155 m.p.h.
Bryan's winning average speed
was about 25 miles an hour fast
er than the record clocking
established this year for the In
dianapolis speedway by Sam
Kanks of Pacific Palisades, Calif.
Hanks' Indianapolis time was
135.6 m.p.h.

Portland HP Jack Dunn of
Salem continued to lead North

the most total bases, 144, and
had driven in the most runs.
87. Moreci had scored the most
runs, 65. had drawn the most

John Busso

Boston HP Unranked John
ny Busso looked in the direction
of lightweight champion Joe
Brown today after dumping con
tender Larry Boardman by the
wayside.
"The first thing we want is to
be ranked," said Busso's man
ager. Nunzie De Lucia, after the
Astoria, N.Y., lad's unanimous
decision over Boardman Fri
day night in a nationally-televised
10-rounder from Mechan
ics building.
"But we want Brown and
we'll tke him." said De Lucia.
Boardman went into the bout
ilijht favorite, and was look
ing to a title match with the
elusive Brown. However, the
23-year-old Busso switched
places with the 21-year-old Marl
boro, Conn., lad. knocking him
down twice and going on to
carve out a popular decision in
a rough and tumble scrap.
San Diego, Calif "? Ed
Casque bested Earl Harrist in
a tight mound duel Saturday as
San Diego defeated Sacramento.
2 to 0, to take a 4-1 lead in their
Pacific Coast league series.
The Solons outhit the victors.
9-6, but San Diego sewed it up
in the seventh by breaking a
scoreless deadlock on Dave
Pope's double, a passed ball, an
infield out and a bases-empty
homer by Preston Ward, his
sixth of the year.
It was Ed's fifth victory
against three defeats and the
12th shutout registered this sea
son by a Padre hurler. Harrist
suffered his seventh defeat
against three triumphs.
The Solons stranded nine run
ners, three of them in the
second after they loaded the
bags with none out.

times up.
Although the Sacs tagged him

of these two standout profe.
sionals. Both Middlecoff n&
Thomson are playing at t h
peak of their game.
"I reckon I've been averaging
72 or 73 In these practica
rounds," Middlecoff said, "but
that's not good enough.
"I'm happy about everythins
here except my golf," h added
with a smile. "This is a trmn
dous course and it requires tre
mendous golf. I've got to be

Middlecoff. who was runner
up to Dick Mayer in the United
States Open tournament two
weeks ago, is the best bet among
the 14 Americans scheduled to
tee off Monday for the first of
two 18-hole qualifying rounds.
A few of the Americans who
have entered may not compete.
Among the other Yanks en
tered are: Frank Stranahan, To
