National Wins Over American All-Stars, 7-3 By LEO H. PETERSEN (United Press Sports Editor) WASHINGTON (UP) — Walter Alston credited the clutch relief pitching of Johnny Antonelli as the major factor today in the National League’s 7-3 victory in the 23rd renewal of the All-Star game. “Os course, that hitting didn’t hurt us, either, said the Dodger manager who piloted the National Leaguers to their sixth win in the last seven All-Star games. “But Antonelli went out there and shut the door in their faces just' when it looked like maybe they were going to catch up with Us.” Casey Stengel, who lost his fifth game in six tries as the manager of an American League team, agreed that pitching “beat us”. "Theirs and ours,’,’ he said. He refused to go along with a questioner who asked if he thought he was jinxed as an All-Star pilot. “Jinx, hell,” he snapped. “Give me some pitching and I’ll win.” He agreed with Alston that Antonelli was a key factor, but added: "Their third baseman (Ken Boyer of ,the Cardinals) made some plgys and some good hits.” *®*fioyer got three of the 11 hits with which the Nationals bombarded the six pitchers whom Stengel used, starting with Billy Pierce, the 13-game winner of the Chicago White Sox, who was charged with the loss when he yielded the Nations’ first run in tbe third inning. Boyer’s hits were all singles, but he battqd in a run and scored another. Willie Mays and Stan Musial, each with home runs, and big Ted Kluszewski with two doubles, did the longer range clouting. That more than offset the two home runs which accounted for the American League scoring in tbe sixth inning. The Americans Were behind, 5-0, when Ted Williams belted his fourth All-Star homer with Nellie Fox on base and Mickey Mantle, fcho struck out three times, followed with another -hOmer. Those blows came off Warren Spahn, the second of the three .AMSKJOSftd-. Antonelli came in and took over. Williams’ homer tied him with Mu sial for hitting the most homers in All-Star competition, but Musial didn’t wait long to get the record back, for la the seventh he cracked his fifth. Bob Friend, the 11-game winning right hander of the Pirates, started for the National League and was credited with the victory. Williams called Mm “a helluva pitcher’’. “I was warned to watch tor his fast ball, but he showed me nothing but slow stuff with a fast ball motion,’’ Williams said. “He really fooled me.” Friend got Ted on a strike out in the first and a simple ground ball in the third. Friend gave up ofily three hits. Spahn gave up only one hit in the first two innings he worked and then ran into that sixth inning storm when he gave up three hits, including those two homers. Antonelli yielded four hits, two to the first two batters he faced in the sixth, and the Other* two with one man out ia the niath. Actually; the Giant southpaw t itched *fouf.. innings. Undec Alltar rules no pitcher can start morp than three intrings unless the game gdes Unto extra innings, but Antonelli was permitted to go as long as he did because he did not start the sixth. The National League also scored off Whitey Ford, Jim Wilson and Tom Brewer, who followed Pierce in that ofder. Only Herb Score, who hurled the eighth and Eady Wynn, who worked the ninth, were able to hold the Nationals at bay. The run off Pierce came, when Roy McMillan, oncost the five Cincinnati Redlegs in the starting line-up, walked, went to second on

Ford started out well enough when he struck out Musial to open the fourth, but then Boyer singled and Mays, pinch hitting for Gus Bell, hit his home run. Stengel called on Wilson, a right hander, in the fifth. Temple greeted him with a bunt single down the third base line and he went to second as Musial grounded out. Boyer’s third single scored him. In the sixth, Brewer felt the eting of the National League bats. Kluszewski, batting for Dale Long, doubled, went to third on McMillan's pop single over first base and scored on a wild pitch. Brewer gave up two more runs in the seventh. With one out Musial homered.

Todays Sport Parade (Reg. U. S. Pat. Office) By OSCAR FRALEY. f-United Press Sports Writer) ' NEW YORK (UP)—The Professionals themselves were the least surprised of anybody when amateur Dough Sanders won the Canadian Open ih a sudden death playoff triumph over Dow Finsterwald, pro golf’s fourth leading money winner. Not that Sanders, a fine golfer, bad been so highly touted. Nor that Finsterwald could be expected to fold up. It's simply that the fairways are ankle deep today in a regular cron of Bobby Joneses. “Actually, there are so many fine amateur golfers around today,” said long-hitting Jimmy Thomson, "that .there is only a ■shade of difference between the# and the pros.”’ There are three reasons. First is tbe tremendous number of parbttstlng amateurs. Secondly, they are "tournament tough," a term once reserved for the constantlyplaying pros, because nowadays there are so many tournaments. Third, the amateurs have adopted the “pro outlook,” from the standpoint of both practice and competitive poise. Remember that Ken Venturi, the San Francisco amateur, barely lost out in the' recent Masters and finished among the top 10 in the U.S. Open. He. along with such as Sanders, Harvie Ward,. Billy Hyndman, Billy Joe Patton, Joe Campbell, Joe Conrad and a half dozen Others- can, on a hot streak, score as well as any pro. “We have so many more amateurs and so many more tournaments these days that it is bound to make a difference,” explained Thomson. “They begin playing Competitive golf in junior and intersefiolastic circles and carry right through. “Then, too. they play along with the pros and adopt their tactics," he added. "This gives them the professional routine of practice, the technical points and the chance to absorb pro mannerisms and poise.” amateurs also c have realized. Thomson asserted, that the only., road to par-busting golf is by practicing long and hard. Which explains wHy so many “dark horses” get all the way up to the quarter and semi-finals of, say, the National Amateur, while back in the old days only a half dozen had a chance. And why, as the pros struggle to hold their lead, they expect The amateur to Break through every so often.

Jerry Kindall Glad To Be WHh Cubs CHICAGO (UP) — Jerry Kindall’s style .at shortstop produced a lucrative contract with the Chicago Cubs, but if he makes the team to pay off, he’ll probably be at another position. Kindall, All Big Ten and AllAmerican on the Minnesota team which won the conference and national collegiate championships this year, signed with thh' Cubs, even though the team is stronger at shortstop with Ernie Banks than at any other position. “I thought about that" Kindall said today, "but Matthews talked so nice, and they offered more money than anybody elbe, so I signed.” Kindall. who has appeared so far only as a pinch runner, will get every chance at another position, Manager Stan Hack said, even though be might not break into the lineup until after spring training next yean “You don't weaken two positions to strengthen one,” Hack said, “so I’m-not thinking of moving Banks into the outfield to put .Kindall at short. But I think a shortstop can ptuy about any po-1 sition. He can play third base, or I first base. At second base, it’s a| little different, but he can learn I it. And in the outfield, there’s not much difference. “He could get into the lineup this year, under certain circumstances, but right now we’re going to carry him along to let him see the other parks and teams and learn something. I’ve seen him in batting practice and infield drill, and he handles himself well. But that’s all I can say until I see more of him.” . . “ Kindall wasn’t unhappy about traveling with the Cubs to learn the league. "I just want to play,” he said, “anywhere, and if they want to use me at another position. I can change. “I’ve never been anything but a shortstop. My dad, they tell me. put a bat and ball in my crib, the first toys I ver had. And I started playing when 1 was 8 years old and kept at it." Kindall was a good hitter in college with a .379 batting average and 12 home runs in 31 games this season.
