Three Tigers Lead In Early Voting NEW YORK, (UP) — Three members of the Detroit Tigers are piling up early leads in the balloting fpr berths on the Amertcan League all-star team that will meet the Natioanl League's tip stars at St Louis, July 9. Rookie Reno Bertoia of the Tigers has opened almost a 3,-000-point lead over Gil McDougald of the New York Yankees in their race for the starting third baseman on the AL team. Harvey Kuenn is enjoying even a greater runaway in the shortstop balloting with 10,362 votes, while Al Kaline also holds a big edge in the right field derby. The other American League leaders include first baseman Vic Wertz of the Cleveland Indians, second baseman Nelli Fox of the Chicago White Sox, left fielder Ted Williams of the Red Sox and center fielder Mickey Mantie of the Yankees, and catcher Yogi Berra of the Yankees. The leaders for the National League starting berths are first baseman Stan Musial of the Cardinals, second baseman Red Schoendienst of the Braves, shortstop Roy McMillan of the Redlegs, third baseman Eddie Mathews bf the Braves, left fielder Frank Robinson of the Redlegs, center fielder Willie Mays of the Giants, right fielder Hank Aaron of the Braves, and catcher Ed Bailey of the Redlegs. Today's Sport Parade Beg. U.S. Pat Oft By OSCAR FRALEY r United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP)—The band will play on, but this could be the year when Casey goes out with the srtawberry blonde The New York Yankees deny that there is a feud between George Weiss and Casey Stengel. But the once-congenial atmosphere is tense and electric and Old Case is a proud man. And Edna. Casey’s strawberry blonde, has been after him to step down as manager for several years now. Casey, is a inan who loves baseball. Wealthy is his own right, Stengel doesn't need the game financially. He stays in it because he thrives on the daily excitement and the success which finally came to him as skipper of the Yankees after years of being regarded as a diamond “clown” who couldn’t manage an automatic dishwasher. No More Joy-Ride But suddenly it isn’t the old joyride of the last eight happy years. It has become all too obvious that Weiss, the portly general manager, is the ■ master -oi • the ■ marionettes. There may have been some question, until recently, as to whether Casey helped pick his ball players. The general imprest sion was that he did. This illusion, plus his managerial success afield, was enough to inflate and feed the long-hungry Stengel ego. But when the Yankees swapped off Billy Martin to Kansas City in a four-for-three deal the window dressing was ripped aside. Martin was Casey’s “boy.” Stengel had him at Oakland and brought him up to the YankeesHe had a vast, unconcealed admiration for the scrappy infielder and, having been a gay blade himself in the old days, could chuckle behind a gnarled hand at Broadway Billy’s antics. The Final Payment The recent fistic floor show at the Copacabana would have been shrugged off by Stengel. But it was the final payment on a ticket west for Martin as far as Weiss was concerned. “Uncle George 0 long has considered Martin a bad influence on Mickey Mantie, once ordering them to steer clear or 1 the downtown lights. So when Martin was labeled as one of the Litigators in the Copa clash, Weiss took matters into his own hands—as usual. Stengel didn’t have much to say about the trade. But he indicated it wasn’t his handiwork, nor that it had his approval. Parnell Announces Baseball Retirement BOSTON (UP) — Mel Parnell, who won more games than any other southpaw pitcher in the history of the Boston Red Sox, has announced his retirement from baseball. Parnell, troubled by a bad pitching arm, told general manager Joe Cronin Tuesday that his New Orleans physician advised him not to pitch' during the rest of the season. The Boston southpaw, who hasn’t pitched an linning this year, asked to be kept on the Red Sox roster , until July 11 when he will become a 10-year veteran and eligible for voluntary retirement. Cronin granted the request.
