All-Star Benches Loaded
As Game Time Arrives
By JOE RKICHLER
CLEVELAND I- Willie (The
Wallop) Mays and Theodore (The
Thumper) Williams, two of base
balls top glamor guys, were not
In the starting lineups but both
were expected to see plenty of
action in today's annual AU-Star
Game at Cleveland's vast Muni
cipal Stadium.
This was in the nature of prom
ises (or threats) made by National
League Manager Walter Alston
and his American League counter
part, Casey Stengel, as the rival
AU-Star pilots discussed the line
ups and personnel of their squads
on the eve of the 21st midsummer
classic.
The Nationals, winners of the
last four lnlerleague clashes, ruled
a decided 8-5 favorite over the re
vamped ar.d injury-riddled Ameri
cans. But Stengel, in understand
ably high, spirits over his New
York Yankees' recent rash of vic
tories, brimmed with confidence
that he would win his first All-
star game alter lour successive
failures.
Game time is 1:30 D.m.. EDT.
M HOME-RUN HITTERS
"The other fellows are supposed
to have all the home run hitters,"
he said wolfishly. "What do you
think I've got? A bunch of powder
puffers?
"I've got a follow named Wil
Hams. Know him? They tell me
he's hit a few home runs in his
day. . . He'll be in there as soon
as the rules permit."
' Mays will be in there at the
first opportunity," promised Al
ston. "I know the fans would like
lo see him and, for that matter,
so would-1. It will be nice to have
j him on mv side for a change."
I Mays, the New York Giants'
I sensational outfielder, has banged
i a of his 31 home runs against Al-
ston's Brooklyn Dodgers, including
! four during the Giants' recent
three-game sweep in Brooklyn.
Both Mays and Williams finished
second in the nationwide fan poll
but there is no doubt they re the
: "people's choice" among the rec
ord 10,000 fans who were expected
to watch the All-star spectacle.
Mays was second to Brooklyn's
Duke Snider for the starting center
field post in the National League,
Williams, Boston Red Sox slugger,
was runner-up to Chicago's Minnie
Minose for the left field berth in
Ihe American League.
PRESENT PLANS
i "My present plans call for Mays
to go to center field in the fourth
inning," Alston said. "I believe
I'll shift Snider to right field and
Stan Musial to left. Jackie Rob
inson, who will start In lelt. ag

double-header against Philadelphia

better center fielder. It's just that
I think, Duke can Jlayrigh,t. Held.
better. He nas piayea mere wnne
Willie hasn't. For that matter
may even keep Snider in center
and play Mays in left. I, won't
make up my mind until the last
minute.
Stengel, confident that his pitch
ers will stop "those other guys
lrom hlttln' homers." explained
why he selected Eddie Ford, his
own southpaw, over a varied as
sortment of star right-handers.
"I was thinking of starting Mike
Garcia of Cleveland," said the
srizzled New York Yankee mana-
ger. "But at 2 o'clock Sunday I
was told he couldn't pitch because
of an injured finger. My guy, Allie
Revnolds. also couldn t pitch be
cause of an injury. Most of the
others worked Sunday and my guy
Ford pitched only three innings
Saturday. And he looked very gooa
by the wav.
LEFT HANDERS
"I don't see why I couldn't
pitch Ford especially with those
guys using three lcit-nanoers torn
der. Musial, Ted Kluszewski) ir
the lineup. He's not afraid of 'em.
He's pitched in a couple of World
Series, you know. And he won't be
tiled."
Stengel declined to disclose any
more of his pitching plans but he
indicated he would use Bob Por-
terfield, Washington's ace right-
' hander, In the middle Innings and
either right-hander Sandy Consue
gra of the White Sox or Dean
Stone, rookie Washington south
paw, in the final three.
Alston said his pitching and re
placement plans depended upon
the actions of the American
League. He already had named
Robin Roberts to start. It was the
fourth starting assignment for the
Philadelphia Phillies' ace rignt-
hander in the last five Ail-Star
games.
"I'll use my men according to
the situation," he snid. "And as
for the pitchers, it all depends up
on how they feel. After all. five
of the seven pitched on bunuay. i
have 10 find out Just who can come
back with so short a rest. I may
use only three pitchers. Then
again, I may have to use all sev
en.'
The game will be beamed to the
nation on radio (Mutual) and tele
vision (NBC and Mutual).

Heavyweight Tiff Pits
Hurricane vs. Cuban
By GAYLE TALBOT
NEW YORK Ifl) The most Im
portant heavyweight bout to be
fought the remainder of this year
might well be the number sched
uled here tomorrow night between
Hurricane Jackson, a spectacular
22-year-old Negro from Long Is
land, and Nino Valdes, the Cuban
speedster who has been yelling for
a title shot ever since he defeated
Ezzard Charles in a major upset
last summer.
The bout, which will be televised
nationally, assumes added stature
because of the growing conviction
that Charles will not fight Rocky
Marciano again this year, if at
all. There are men close to the
game who are convinced that Ez

.... should see duty
the contrary, got more than enough
of Rocky at Yankee Stadium last
month.
Regardless of whether Charles Is
permitted to risk his lite again,
either this year or next, It Is a
fairly safe bet that the winner of
tomorrow night's scrap will even
tually find himself In the ring with
the Rock. Valdes currently is rated
the No. 2 contender, while the un
inhibited Jackson is listed no bet
ter than No. 5. but the latter fig
ure is misleading if we are per
mitted to deal in potentials.
Up to a night in April, when he
ran afoul of a cutie named Jimmy
Slade and caught a surprise lick
ing, Jackson was considered the
hottest thing in boxing trunks. Some
thought he was a new Joe Louis,
destined to win the championship
in short order possibly without ev
er meeting defeat. Slade, the clev
er veteran, put an artistic crimp
in these plans for the Hurricane,
but the young Negro remains as
remarkable a physical specimen
as he ever was and It could be a
grave mistake to count him out
for good.
Jackson blamed his first setback
on his mother, Mrs. Georgia Jack
son, claiming she interfered with
his training by keeping him home
nights- Since then he has done his
training at regular camps, like
other fighters. - He -began his
"comeback" by scoring a fast
technical knockout over Charlie
Norkus at the Garden late in May.
Valdes' chief claim to fame
until he sneaked up on a lethargic
Charles down in Florida, was as
the reigning heavyweight cham
pion of Cuba. He since has cut
a swath tnrougn Europe wnue
waiting for officials of the Inter
national Boxing Club to say hello
to him.

Seals 1-0
By THE ASSOCIATED TRESS
The Sacramento Solons have
made a winning start under their
new manager, Tony Freltas, who
was elevated from his Job as a
coach when Gene Desautels re
signed Monday.
The Sacs whipped San Francisco
Monday night, 1-0. The game went
10 innings and the big blow was
a home run by Len Attyd. It was
his first four-baser of the season
and got Freltas, one of the best
southpaws the Pacific Coast
League ever had, off to a flying
start. After a fine first half show
ing, Sacramento has been slump
ing of late and is now 17 games
behind pace setting Hollywood.
Hollywood whipped Portland, 9-2,
pounding three pitchers for 11 hits
in the first of a five-game series.
Rog Bowman, Hollywood lefty,
scored his 13tb win, and It was the
seventh win in Ihe last nine starts
lor the league leaders.
Bowman wasn t around to re
ceive credit for his victory, for
manager Bobby Bragan ' yanked
him In the eighth when he sud
denly lost control although he had
limited the Ports to lour nits in
eight innings. Forrest Main quiet
en me Portland Dais at once.
Hollywood had a five-run fourth
Inning, highlighted by doubles by
Dick Smith and Jack Phillips. Port-
land's Fletcher Robbe socked his
13th homer In the sixth Inning.
The other Portland run came in
the eighth as Bowman loaded the
bases on two walks and an error.
Rocco Krsnlch bounced Into a
double play off Main, and one run
scored. -
San Diego kept pace, 2 - games
behind Hollywood, by downing Los
Angeles, 6-2. The Padres called
upon newly acquired Al Lyons as
as a ninth inning relief pitch
er. Picked up as a San Francisco
castoff last week, Lyons switched
from his role of outfielder and
came on the hill to strike out Los
Angeles flyhawk Bob Usher and
force the next batter to fly out
and end the game with two men
on base.
