Shantz Stars As National League Wins PHILADELPHIA, UP — A softspoken pipsqueak—who threw only 13 pitches for the losing side -r drew the loudest cheers today ffoin the triumphant National league All-Stars. » Southpaw Bobby Shanti appeared only briefly on Shibe Park's rain-soaked, scene Tuesday and even though he toiled for the losing American leaguers, he was by far the outstanding figure in the 3-2 game. | Relieving losing pitcher Bob Lemon in the top of, the fifth, the five-fobt, sevqndnch, 145-pound Shantz flashed his fast ball through 1 the downpour to strike out Whitey Lockman .307, Jackei Robinson .315 and Stan Musial .333 in swift succession. “The kid is a wonder," marveled Leo Durocher, who piloted the, National leaguers tri their third .straight truimph. »"If that’s the kind of stuff he throws, I’m glad we didn’t have to face him anymore.” ( ' The three top hitters Shantz struck out were equally impressed. “I can see why he has that 14-3 record,” declared Robinson, whose fiript-inning homer off starter Vic Raschi gave the National league -a 1-0 lead. “He threw me three 4 carves and two change-ups. And if he had thrown me his fast curve sootier, I’d have struck out sooner.” ' Jf Musial, the only batter; to hit so much as a foul off Shantz, said the mighty mite of the Athletics 3 'had “a tremendous assortment.” “He keeps you off stride all the time,” Musial adtjed. “I didn’t think that third strike was over the plate but it' was a good fast ball.” z. Lockman paid particular praise to Shantz’ control. . , "He's really got it, no question about that,’’ said the Giant first sacker. ♦ Shantlf, \himself, said he wasn't concrintrating on striking anyone out. v . ‘T merely was.trying to get them to hit the first pitch,” he declared. "I wasn't after any strikeout records.” Had Shantz started the game, the outcome might have been different. the National leaguers gen- | ferally agreed. As it w’as, the American league took a temporary lead when Minnie Minoso doubled. Al Rosen walked and Eddie Robinson and Bobbie Avila each singled off winning pitcher Bob Rush in the fourth, but the National league Retaliated with two runs in their half of the inning when Lemon hit Musial with a pitch and then yielded a home run to big Hank Sauer. . A capacity crowd of 32,785 fretted impatiently for 56 minutes before the<« umpires decided to TSHthe grime on account of rain in the top of the sixth inning. It marked

the first time in All-Star history that a contest had been played entirely In tpe rain and then called. Sharing pitching honors with Shants was another left-hander, ex-G. t Curt Simmons of the Phils, who opened for the National league after the start of the game had been held up for 21 minutes. After walking leadoff hitter Dom DiMaggio, Simmons blazed a third strike: past Hank Bauer and Dale Mitchell, then induced >Rosen to ground out. Simmons sipped through the American league lineup in the second, striking out Robinson and yielded his only hit —a double by Di Maggio—in the third. Outride of the homers by Robinson I and Sauer, the only other National league hit was A double down the right field foul line byEnos } Country Slaughter in the fourth; j '' | The ; American led by Casey Stengel who suffered through his third straight setback as an All-Star manager, collected five hits, three of which came in the fourth.

0 1 * Stars Pouring Into Helsinki HELSINKI, UP United States athletes, whd will number about 400 when the Olympic games begin here in 10 days, were pouring into Helsinki today with a warning ringing in their ears that\ “unfriendly” eyes will be watching their behavior. The first large group of American Olympic stars arrived by plane Tuesday and included the basketball and soccer teams. Due today write 63 members of the powerful, favored track and field team. Two more groups are qxpected Thursday, and one Saturday. Avery Brundage, president of the U. S. Olympic ’ committee, accompanied the basketball and soccer group and it was he who soundrid the warning about behavior. \ '\ “There may be unfriendly, if hostile, eyes and ears watching and listening to all those from the United States at Helsinki, in fact from all foreign countries,” Brundage told the athletes. The U. S. Olympic head didn’t mention any “unjfriendly” countries by name, but' he pointed out that “there will be countries at; the games which antagonistic to the United States,” \He warned that "anti-American demonstrations of various kinds may eveb be stagegd.” : He reminded the athletes that U.S. athletes who Competed in the winter games at Oslo were occasionally booed, and he commented that “some of the booing of American players . . . I came front individuals placed ini the. audience for that purpose.” “iWhile you are wearing a United States Olympic uniform, you are one of a group,” said Brundage. “The entire| group will be judged in part by What you say and do. We must all; be ever alert, watchfpl and discreet.” \ j Brundage then took- the unprecedented step of asking the U.S. athletes to refrain from smoking in public “because many foreigners will be startled to see Olympic competitors smoking, and ... everyone will be under’ continuous .surveillance from individuals who hope to see or to hear something that can be used Ito discredit our country)’’ Brundage added, however, that the smoking ban was merely a request and “riot an order.”

Today's Sport Parade { (Reg. U. S. P»L Oft) | By Oscar Fraley * 0 | T-j ; • NEW YORK, UP Many major leaguers arp complaining this year about their “slumps” but so general is the falling off at the plate it’s conclusive proof today that actuary a lot of the “rabbit” has been taken out of the ball. The major victim of the moment is Richie Ashburn of the Phillies, who was second only to Stap the Man Musial in National league ball busting last season. The blond bullet of the Phils hit .344 last year and at the moment is batting only .238- —a drop of 106 points. But thp fleet-footed Ashburn has plenty of company. For no less than six team batting leaders have nose-dived tremendously at the dish this season. These victims include Gil McDougald of the Yankees, Ralph Kiner <>f the Pirates. Walker Cooper i of the Braves, Minnie Minoso of the White Sox and (lil Coan of the Washington Senators. Coaq .ls the second most desperate of these “stumping" sluggers. He hit .303 last season but has skidded to .221 for an 82 point drop. Kiner is down 68 poinits from .309 to .241 but always has been a late comer. Minoso dropped 48 points to .278 from >326; Coopper has tailed off 47 points from .313 to .264, and McDougald is back 36 points from .306 to .270. They, too, have plenty of company and there are so many good, solid hitters among them that the reason has to go deeper than just, a mass “slump." < For the list includes such stars as Willie Jones df the Phils, Gus Bell of the Pirates, Randy Jackson of the Cubs, Earl Torgeson of the Braves, Wally Westlake of .the Reds, Ray Coleman of the White Sox. Eddie Yost and Jim Busby of the Senators and Joe Ginsberg of the Tigers. The manufacturers deny there has been any alteration in the makeup of the big league ball. But you can’t overlook the fact that home’ run’ production . has fallen far (off last season’s pace. On top Os which there has been a veritable rash of one and two-hit pitching masterpieces. It simply doesn’t seem conceivable that the pitching talent has picked up over the hitting talent to such a great extent. The only answer is that breV rabbit doesn’t live, here anymore. 1 '. • i Curly Halt Named Wiley's Net Coach TERRE HAUTE. Ind.
