Mickey Mantle. Is Unanimous All-Star Pick NEW YORK (W—Center fielder Mickey Mantle won unanimous acclaim today on the annual United Press American League all-star team and catcher Yogi Berra missed out on only one ballot, dominating the voting as the world champion Yankees had dominated the pennant race. Lefty pitcher Whitey Ford of the Yankees also made the honor squad selected by 58 sports "writers from the eight league cities. Three Detroit Tigers — outfielder Al Kaline, shortstop Harvy Kuenn. and third baseman Ray Boone — were chosen, along with two Chicago White Sox players — second baseman Nellie Fox and pitcher Billy Pierce — and two Boston Red Sox players, outfielder Ted Williams and first baseman Mickey Vernon. There was little or no contest for most of the positions and the team was the same as the 1955 American League UP all-star squad except that Pierce replaced Early Wynn of Cleveland as one of the two pitchers. Maptie w-as named on all 58 ballots, Berra on 57, and Williams received 50 votes each, while on 52. Two others, Kaline and Fox, Kuenn had 48, Boone 44, Pierce 38, and Ford 25. The only close race was at first base where Vernon had 16 votes to edge out Vic Power of Kansas City with 14 and first baseman Bill Skowron of the Yankees with 12. Mantle, the triple crown champion of the majors with a .353 batting average, a total of 130 runs batted in and 52 homers, clearly deserved his unanimous, selection. But there was a powerful array behind him. • Williams pursued him closely for the batting 4itle down the stretch and wound up with' a .345 average and 82 runs batted in. Kaline was just behind for the RBI title with 128 and a healthy .314 average. Berra was the third man on the squad to drive in 100 or more runs with 105 and he also had 30 homers to go with his .298 average. Berra and Fox were the only all-star men below the .300 level and they more than made up for that deficiency with their allaround talents. The two lefty pitchers were among the best in baseball. Pierce had a 20-9 won-lost mark with the third place White Sox and Ford was kingpin of the Yankee staff with a 19-6 mark. Two Cleveland hurlers, Wynn and lefty strikeout star Herb Score, ranked next in the voting with 15 ballots apiece.

lit was significant that Yankee ( ' World Series hero, Don Larsen, who may win athlete of the year honors for his perfect game nohitter against Brooklyn, did not receive a single vote on the basis of his season performance. Vernon, who had a fine year after being traded to Boston from Washington, batted .310, while Kuenn, always a contender for the batting title, hit .332 after a slow start. Boone, his running mate at third, was a .308 hitter and batted in 81 runs.
