THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

American All-Star Roster Completed CHICAGO (UP) — Baltimore’s Billy Loes or Detroit’s Jim Bunning, both rookie right handers in All-Star competition, appeared today as the most logical choices for starting pitcher for the American League in next week’s 24th renewal of the annual inter-league battle. Other right handers from whom New York manager Casey Stengel can pick his workmen will be his own Bob Grim and Early Wynn of Cleveland with a IM record. The southpaws were Don Mossi of Cleveland. Chicago’s BiUy Pierce and New York’s Bobby Shantz, rejuvenated with the Yankees with a 9-1 record. Stengel had nearly a third of his squad of 25 from his own roster,. with eight Yankees making the trip to St. Louis for the July 8 scrap. In addition to two starters, catcher Yogi Berra and centerfielder Mickey Mantle, he named Ss two pitchers; infielders Gil cDougald, Bobby Richardson and BiU Skowron: and Elston Howard, normally an outfielder but picked as a catches for the All-Stars-Detroit will have four representatives, starters Harvey Kuenn at shortstop, Al Kaline in right field; Bunning, and outfielder CharUe MaxweU, Three teams placed three players each.

ANDREWS, Scotland (UP)_ Frank Stranahan, Toledo, Ohiq, assured himself a place in the British Open golf tournament when he shot a 2-under-par 70 today in the final qualification round, but Cary Middlecoff, Memphis, Tenn., with a 73 today and 148 total, was on the borderline and dependent upon the rest of the field. The IQW 100 men after two Qualification rounds go on to the tournament proper, and Stranahan’S total of 141 was sure to advance him- However, experts had predicted that it would take 148 or lower to make the final field, and Middlecoffs 36 - hole qualifying total, exactly at that predicted dividing point, might not make it if the’ field shot unexpectedly good golf. « M Two qf the n Americans were eliminated today. Roger Peacock, Silver Springs, Md., shot a 79 today over the par-71 St.'Andrews new course for a 36-hole total of 153, and Latry Carpenter. Springfield, N.J., shot an 81—160 over the par 72-bld course. Bobby Locke of South Africa led the early qualifiers with 70— 137. . American League W. L. Pct. G.B.

Mantle Homers In Tenth For Yank Victory By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer One stroke of Mickey Mantle's bat—literally a lightning shot in the dark — was all the Yankees needed to put some daylight between them and the second-place White Sok. That strake by Mantle with one out in the 10th inning Monday night resulted in his 22nd homer of the season, a blow that produced a 3-2 victory over Baltimore and stretched the Yankees* lead to two games over Chicago. Mantle walloped his homer off ace reliever George Zuverink. who had entered the game after the Orioles had tied the score with a run in the last of the ninth. The Yankee slugger had the satisfaction of winning the game before 45,276 fans, largest crbwd ever to witness a major league night game in Baltimore. Southpaw Whitey Ford, making his first appearance since being sidelined with a sore shoulder, May 21, was credited with the victory in relief although Bob Grim had to bail him out when the Orioles threatened in the bottom of the 10th. ; •• Detroit toppled the White Sox, 5-2; Kansas City snapped an 11game losing streak with a 10-3 decision over Cleveland, and Washington nipped Boston, 5-4 Braves* Lead Cat The St Louis Cardinals cut Milwaukee’s lead in the National League to a half-game with a 9-5 victory over the Braves; the Phillies defeated the Pirates, 5-4; Brooklyn licked the Giants, 3-0, and the Cubs blanked Cincinnati, Charlie Maxwell got the Tigers off winging against the White Sox with a two-run homer off Jim Wilson in the first inning and Al Kaline also homered In the sixth to start a three - run rally. Lanky Jim Bunning struck out seven and yielded eight hits, including a homer by Minnie Minoso, in recording his ninth victpry. The Athletics, who hadn't won • game since June 19, hopped on JEarly Wynn for five runs in the first inning to clinch their victory against Cleveland. Tim Thompson’s three-run homer was the big blow in the first inning assault on Wynn. Even with that lead, Kansas City starter Arnie Portocarrero needed relief from Tom Qorman. who was the winner. . Ike Delock’s walk to Bob Usher with the bases fuH in the seventh inning enabled the Senators to score the tie-breaking run in their game with the Red Sox. Reliever Pedro Ramos held Boston hitless pver the last four innings to gain his sixth victory and snap a fivegame Red Sox winning streak. Cards Unearn Victory Two errors by Eddie Mathews and two by Johnny Logan helped the Cardinals to five unearned runs as they ended a six - game Milwaukee winning streak. The Cards staked their starter, Murry Dickson, to a 5-1 lead but the Braves knocked him out with a three-run rally in the fifth inning when Hank Aaron hit his 24th homer and Wes Covington homered with one on. Herm Wehmeier, who relieved Dickson, was the winner- . Granny Hamner and Rip Repulski each drove in two runs in a five-run eighth-inning rally that produced Philadelphia’s victory over Pittsburgh. Pirate starter Ronnie Kline had a three - hit shutout until the Phillies knocked him out in the eighth. Jim Hearn was credited with the victory in relief of Jack Sanford'. .*£ Don Drysdale of the Dodgers cooled off the red-hot Giants on five hits as Junior Gilliam played a key role in Brooklyn's triumph with a first-inning homer and a brilliant performance afield. The loser was southpaw Johnny Antonelli, who gave up six hits before retiring for a pinch hitter in the eighth. Rookie pitcher Dick Drott of the Cubs celebrated his 21st birthday by striking out eight batters and holding Cincinnati to four scattered hits in registering his seventh victory. The Gabs collected 10 hits, including a homer by Walt Moryn, as Joe Nuxhall suffered his fifth setback.
