American Loop All-Stars Win Slugging Bee CLEVELAND (INS) — Casey Stengel, saved by the Cleveland Indiana the embarrassment of piloting a record five-time All-Star game loser, returns Thursday to try to beat the Tribe in the hot American League pennant race. > * But .Stengel hopes the showing of Al -Rosen, Bab Avila and Larry Doby in Tuesday's lLto-9 triumph ie not indicative of what the Indians will do in the remainder of the American League flag chase. Cleveland currently hold® a halfgame lead over Stengel’S onrushing Yankees. Cleveland’s All-Star entry contributed three homers —two by Rosen and one by Doby—and eight RBl’s to lead the Americans to their first win over the Nationals since 1949. Avila collected three singles and two ‘RBI’s. Stengel, whose, Yankees have won five straight world titles, had made four unsuccessful attempts at winning the mid-sumnner classic and admitted that the entire situation was getting frustrating. A fer three hours and 1 o minues of toe-to-toe slugging the Nationals were convinced that Stengel was not kMding when he said “we didn’t come to Cleveland to Ipse.” It was the National League power that made the senior circuiters an 8-to-5 favorite at game time, but the Americans beat -the Nationals at their own game, using the long ball with consistent success. The near-record crowd of 68,771 was treated to the hittingest AllStar classic of all-time with the two clubs getting 31 hits and six homers between them. The -Americans won the homer derby and thus the game but outhitting the Nationals 4-to-2 in that department. As it turned out, a two-run bloop single over second base by Nelson Fox of the Chicago White Sox proved to be the Nationals’ downfall. Fox brought home Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra, both of the Yankees, with his timely hit. which came in the eighth inning a short time after Doby tied the score at 9 to 9 with a tremendous wallop to left center. Fox’s hit came off Brooklyn's cool Carl ‘Erskine, but the setback was charged to Milwaukee’s human stringbean — Gene Conley — w.l»o loaded t-he bases, ilßnaiing Hrakine’s entry ig£o the classic. The American League’s threerun eighth inning came after the Nationals had taken the lead on a two-run homer by Gus Bel) of the Cincinnati Redlegs. But ironically, the win went to Dean Stone, Washington rookie, who threw only three pitches and whose only claim to fame was firing a pitch to Yogi Berra which caught Red Schoendienst trying to steal home in the eighth. The games only major rhubarb was touched off when New. York Giants Manager Leo Durochpr and (Milwaukee Manager Charley Grimm claimed the rookie had talked. L p .to the eighth it was a seesaw affair with Rosen—who played wRh a badly swollen index finger on his right hand—‘Hay Boone of the Detroit Tigers and Ted Kluszewski of the Redlegs providing most of the long-ball fireworks. Kluszewski hit a two-run smash in the fifth. Rosen and Boone hit back-to-back homers in the third off Robin Roberts to put the Americans out in front, 4-to-0. but that didn’t dampen the Nationals' spirits one bit. They came liack in the top of the fourth on four straight singles, followed by two doubles. Fourteen pitchers were used iif the slugfest which saw the record 31 hits banked out by the two teams, shattering the old mark which had stood since 1937. The -0-run total also was a new (record ami the Americans set a single club mark for the moat hits in an All-Star contest with if blows. Rosen tied two individual marks witli two homers and five RBl’s and ft was his best performance since breaking his finger May 25. Now York’s Whitey Ford turned in the only standout pitching per formance of the contest. A surprise starter, the crafty southpaw faced only ten men and gave up hut one hit in the first three innings of the game. After that the roof caved in. Ihe crowd was below expect** 1 * tions of Cleveland officials, who had predicted a throng of more than 70,000 would break the mark set in the same ballyard in 1935. The fans contributed, however.' a gross gate of 4292,678—net 8259,2(>l for a new record.
