Casey Stengel today named rookie righthander Jim Bunning of the Tigers to start against the National league In the 24th annual All-Star clas sic Tuesday. Walt Alston picked lefthander Curt Simmons of the Phillies to oppose the American league. Stengel also announced the American league batting order: Harvey Kusnn, Detroit, ss; Nel lie Fox, Chicago, 2b; Al Kaline, Television Station KBES will bring the major league all-siar baseball game at 10:15 a.m. Tuesday.

Stengel picked Bunning be cause of the predominant right- Paul Harney Cops LaBatt Links Open Ste. Dorothee, Que- (IP " Slender Paul Harney, the hot test golfer on the PGA circuit, c.tidits a putting tip from his father a n 8 newly-prescribed headache pills for his second major tournament victory in three weeks. The graying native of Wor cester, Mass., continued his extraordinary sub-par shooting Sunday to win the $29,000 La Batt Open and pick up top money of $3,500. He headed al most immediately for Kitchen er. Ont., for the $25,000 Cana dian Open after registering his loth under-par round in the last 12 outings. On the other two he matched par. Harney, playing his third year on the pro circuit, finished one stroke in front of huge George Bayer, the only player who can outdrive Harney. Bayer blew a chance to tie Harney with a 278 when he bogeyed the par-4 17th, missing a 2',2-foot putt for his par. Dow Finsterwald, Tequesta, Fla., Bayer and Conrad were all just one strike back of Harney after 54 holes. Ford, Gene Litt ler, Singing Hills, Calif., a win ner in this event two years ago, and newcomer Bill Trombley. were just three strokes off the pace and Bert Weaver and Ken Ve.ituri, who shared the half way lead with Harney, were four back. But none of them was able to come up with a big round and overtake Harney. handed National league starters. Only Musial and Bailey are southpaws. Alston wants a southpaw to start for him because the Ameri can league's starting lineup is packed with such left-handed power hitters as Yogi Berra, Ted Williams and Vic Wertz. Alston also has Milwaukee southpaw Warren Spahn available to start but he indicated he would go with either Simmons or Anton elli. Nationals Favored The weatherman predicted a warm day for the game and the oddsmen predicted a National league victory. Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals and Williams are the grandpappy types in the lineups. This will be Stan's 14th appear ance in the classic and the 13th for Ted. Musial Is having one of his greatest years and the Boston Belter is in the thick of the bat ting and home run race. Other All-Star old-timers are Yogi Berra in his eighth, George Kell. the sixth and Nellie Fox, the fifth. The only freshman on either starting lineup is Cincin nati third baseman Don Hoak Using "Home" Park Several factors contribute to the slim 6-to-5 edge the Nation als have in the betting odds. They will be seeking their seventh victory in the last eight games of the inter-league rivalry and they will be playing in a National league park. Also, their combined batting average is nine points above the Americans even .300. Going for the Americans, how ever, is an overall advantage of 13-10 in the big game, which dates back to 1933 and skips onlv the war year of 1945. This will be the third All-Star game for St. Louis and it will be a rubber game as far as the city is concerned. The now-defunct Browns were hosts for an American league, 5-2 victory in 1948 and the Cards entertained for a 4-0 National victory in 1940.

Chiefs Score 8th Victory In 2nd Half By UNITED PRESS Wenatchee's Chiefs are blaz ing an unbeaten trail through the Northwest league pack in the second half. The Chiefs ran their winning streak to eight straight over the week end. Saturday the Chiefs squeezed out an 8-7 decision over Lewis ton for their sixth straight. Sun day they turned in 12-0 and 3-2 victories over the Broncs. Jim Bailey whiffed 8 and walked but 2 in blanking the Broncs in Sunday's opener. Chico Alvarez, with a two-run homer that started the Chiefs off to a 7-run second inning was the hitting hero. The Chiefs won the nightcap 3-2 with two runs in the sixth Roy Parker's double tallied one and Don Lundberg's single plated Parker. Eugene' completed a four-game sweep over Trr-City. The Emer alds took Saturday s game - and turned in 11-4 and 3-0 de cisions Sunday.

Yakima got out of its winless ways Saturday with a 5-4 victory over Salem. The two clubs then split their Sunday twin bill with Yakima 10-2 winners in tne open er and Salem a 1-0 victor in the nightcap behind three-hit pitch ing by Chuck Lybeck. Yakima got to Andy George in the seventh inning of the bun- day opener and before the frame was out had scored all its 10 runs. Lybeck was too much for the Bears in the nightcap, however. Cal Bauer's solo homer with two out in the eighth was the decid ing blow. Tri-City Reports Money Troubles Kennewick IW The iri- City Braves are on the verge of financial collapse, club offic ials said Sunday. The Tri-City Athletic associ ation announced that without help from fans the team would fold before the end of the cur rent Northwest League season.

Leo Kiley Chalks Up Eleventh Straight Win in Relief Role By SCOTT BAILLIE United Press Sports Writer Leo Kiley, almost as sharp as the guy who arrives late at a party then leaves with a girl on each arm, breezed along for the San Francisco Seals today sporting total of 11 straight victories and all picked up In relief. The lanky southpaw boosted his overall season mark to 12-2 Sunday while the Seals took a doubleheader from Portland by identical 4-3 scores to retain their 2,.i-game lead over Van couver. Kiley made his customary late arwal in the sixth frame of the nightcap and left with the triumph about 10 minutes later when Tom Umphlett drove home the winning run in the seventh with a sacrifice fly. The Moundes kept the pace by drubbing Los Angeles twice, 5-1. and 5-0, while San Diego and Hollywood split. The Pads won the opher on the strength of two homers by Earl Averill Jr., 5-4, and Hollywood took the nightcap in overtime 3-2. In other PCL action, Seattle downed last-place Sacramento. 3-1. on Bud Podbielan's four hitter then was walloped, 8-2. Like The Past Young Averill, socking them like his daddy used to do, club bed a pair of solo home runs in the opener which made the difference as third place San Diego downed Hollywood, 5-4. j His second blast came in the j ninth to offset a Hollywood mar- ker in the bottom frame. Dick j Brodowski saved the win for Jim (Mudcat) Grant, who now is 6-4. Curt Raydon lost his eighth. The Stars won the overtime nightcap in the ninth inning when Leo Rodriguez doubled home the winning run. George Witt, the fifth Twinkle hurler to enter the fray, got his fifth triumph. The loser was Hank Agulrre, 4-5. Podbielan gave up only one pass while posting his third win for Seattle in the initial con test. Loser Joe Stanka held the Rainiers to three hits in eight grames, but two of them came in the first inning as the Suds scored twice. Jim Greengrass, who homer ed for the Solons in the first game, drove home three more in the nightcap with a triple and two bagger as Roger Osen- baugh won his fifth game against 11 defeats. Gene Hay den staggered the route for Seat tle to lose his second. The series ends on three fronts tonight with Portland at San Francisco, Los Angeles at Van couver and Seattle at Sacra mento. Homeruns Payoff Home runs played a big part in both Seal victories. Jack Phillips smashed one with a man on in the seventh inning of the opener to insure the one run triumph. The blow also pro pelled undefeated Bill Aberna- thie to his ninth victory. Then Frank Kellert tied the nightcap with another two-run homer in the sixth inning. It set the stage for Gene Fodge's third loss aft er John Carmichael had dropped his eighth. Vancouver twice used the big Don't Say "Hello" Say "FILTER-FLO" Inning while taking five straight from the Angels. Erv Palica grooved his ninth triumph in the first game which was cinch ed by a three-run rally in the eighth frame. A bases empty homer by Jim Marshall and a two-run double by Charley White were the key blows. Red Adams fought Palica the dis tance to absorb his fourth re verse. Eddie Erautt had a one hit ter on the fire for Vancouver going into the home half of the sixth inning of the windup. But Manager Charley Metro took him out for a pinch-hitter and the Mounties cut loose for five runs. Three came home on a bases-loaded triple by Owen Friend. Babe Birrer, a former teammate, got the loss and Er autt his fourth win. Medford s Cheney bums ac complished their first triumph m three seasons of series here with their Seattle counterparts with a 5 to 2 margin on Satur day night. But the old hex of the past two series came back to haunt on Sunday and the Rogue valley's top semi-pro base ball aggregation was the victim of a 22 to 7 humiliation at the hands of the stellar Seattle nine Jerry Droscher's three-run homer was the pay-off in Satur day night's decision. It overcame a 1 to 2 deficit which had been established by Gene Leek's two- tally home run for Seattle. On Sunday the Washington- ians of Cheney Lumber company combed three Medford twirlers for a total of 14 safeties. They took advantage of a big share of 14 bases on balls issued by the home team tossers and of seven errors charged to the southern Oregon team. Seattle had three-run home runs by Steve Hinckley and Ron Dodge and a solo roundtripper by George Kritsonis. A dropped out field fly also served the purpose of a "homer" with three runs coming in on the four-base mis-cue. Medford also collected solo four-base hits by Ed Reinking, Frank Roelandt and Jerry Dro scher. But they all came in the final cantos when Seattle had the fracas in the bag and didn't appear to be bearing down so hard as in the early frames. Droscher's roundtrip clout over the left field fence, which proved the key hit, in the Satur day night Medford verdict, came in the sixth inning, it followed a two-base line safety by Frank Roelandt and a walk to Ron Owings. After the homer, Frank Rector got on base with a neat drag bunt down the third base line but Dennis King hit to short stop, forcing out Rector. Extra scoreboard padding for the home club was obtained, however, when Jerry Bartow s flv to rieht center field bounded for a three base hit and the Medford thrower tallied on error on the relay from the outfield. First Medford run was in the oocnnrl innine. Owings led oil with a whack which bounced the ball over the fence for an automatic double. Droscher flied nut to ripen center field and Ow- ines went to third Dase aiier the catch. Rector then duplicated Droscher's deep fly and Owings scored on the sacrifice. Tn the fifth inning for beaitie Mike White drew a base on balls and went to second sack on an error on an attempted pick-off. Norm Shill's sacrifice bunt put White on third and Leek fol lowed with his homer over the outer left barrier. Seattle, which left 13 men on bases during the evening, had home team pitcher Bartow in toueh situations. in at least five of the innings in which the Wash- ingtonians didn't score. The visit ors had two men on and no outs in the sixth inning and two on and one out in the first, third, seventh and ninth innings. His own pitching and Medford field ing helped him out of most of tne difficulties. In the ninth when Bartow s arm getting stiff, with Shill and George Kritzonis on third and second bases on hits and a wild pitch and with two out, Man ager Roelandt called in Duane Sides for mound relief. Sides fanned Monty Geiger to end the game. The second strike, called, brought considerable squawk from the Seattle batsman. Bartow might have been able to take care of Geiger but Roe landt pointed out that the Wash ington player had collected two hits off the Medford tosser in four trips to the plate and that Geiger was an old college foe of Bartow's and knew his pitch ing. Bartow and catcher Roe landt had fooled Geiger with change up forcing him to ground out in the seventh inning, but it was decided to give him "something different." The mov was successful strategy for a vic tory the Medford nine desper ately wanted. Despite tiring, Bartow was bit more effective over the 8 23- inning route than the combined work of his two hill foes, Dave Gray and Norm Popkin. The Medford chucker yielded eight hits and five bases on balls and had 10 strikeouts. The Seattleites also gave up eight hits. They walked four and hit one batter and had six strikeouts. Leek hit two for four and Geiger two for five for Seattle and Owings two for three and Roelandt and Bartow each two for four for Medford. Seattle put over runs Sunday in every inning except the third when Leek was caught trying to stretch a twin-bagger into a triple. Big inning was the fourth when six runs crossed home on only one hit, a double by Wayne Jack Dunn Annexes NW Batting Toga Portland (IP Jack Dunn of Salem with a .378 mark led Northwest league hitters in the first half of play which ended June 30. Herman Lewis and Vince No- reci of Yakima and Ellis Burton of Tri-City dominated the re mainder of the statistics.

Teammate Noreci led in walks, 77, in runs scored, 70, and fanned 51 times to lead in that respect.
