AHStars In Annual Battle At St. Louis ST. LOUIS (IB —. National League manager Walt Alston added a tinge of mystery to the 24th mutual All-Star Game today by deciding to wait “until just before game time” before naming his starting pitcher. The Brooklyn Dodgers' pilot first leaned towards Curt Simmons, the Philadelphia Phillies’ comeback left hander, but indicated Monday night he might give the assignment to another southpaw, Johnny Antonelli of ihe New York Giants. “I remember how well Antonelli pitched for me in the All-Star Game last year, and 1 have a feeling he might turn back those American Leaguers more effectively than Simmons,” said Alston, who added, "I might not make up my mind until just before game time.” The annual mid-season classic, which will be broadcast and televised nationally (NBC), was scheduled to start at 1:30 p. m. CDT at Busch Stadium. Running AL Starter American League manager Casey Stengel of the New York Yankees declined to engage in any such guessing game. Irked over his none-too-glossy All-Star record—he has been beaten five times in six tries—Stengel selected Jim Bunning, the Detroit Tigers' side-arming right hander, rs his starting pitcher. Bunning has won 10 games and lost two this year. Simmons has posted eight victories and lost four for the Phillies this season after being considered "washed up” last year. Antonelli’s record is a mediocre 7-7, mut Alston still can’t forget how the nifty Giants' lefty toiled in last year’s 7-3 NL victory at Washington. During a four-inning stint, Antonelli held the American Leaguers to four hits and yielded no runs and no walks. If he is chosen as the NL starter, Simmons probably will be by- passed by Jack Sanford of the Phillies or Larry Jackson of the St. Louis Cardinals for the mtojile three innings.

Week's Schedule For Pony League And Little League PONY LEAGUE Wednesday — Adams Central at Monmouth. Thursday—Braves at Berne. LITTLE LEAGUE Tuesday—Red Sox vs Yankees; Indians vs Tigers. Friday—Senators vs Yankees; Tigers vs White Sox. Star pitcher is allowed to work more than three Innings—Stengel indicated he would call on the Baltimore Orioles' Billy Loes. He would then have two lefties —his own Bobby Shantz and the Chicago White Sox’ Billy Pierce available for the late innings. In naming the remainder of the lineup, Stengel, along with Alston, had no choice except to arrange the batting order. The other eight starters were determined by the fan poll, although baseball Commissioner „ Ford Frick scratched two Cincinnati players from the National League lineup because of a late-hour avalanche of votes by Redleg fans. Willie Mays of the Giants was picked to start in center field and Hank Aaron was named to open in right field for the National Leaguers by Frick. The other NL starters included catcher Ed Bailey of Cincinnati, first baseman Stan Musial of St. Louis, second baseman Johnny Temple of Cincinnati, shortstop Roy McMillan of Cincinnati, third baseman Don Hoak of Cincinnati, and left fielder Frank Robinson of Cincinnati. Two Yanks Start Stengel had two of his own Yankees in the AL starting lineup —catcher Yogi Berra and center fielder Mickey Mantle. The other starters were first baseman Vic Wertz of Cleveland, second baseman Nellie Fox of Chicago, shortstop Harvey Kuenn of Detroit, third baseman George Kell of Baltimore, left fielder Ted Williams of Boston, and right fielder Al Kaline of Detroit. The National Leaguers, victors in six of the last seven classics, remained a slim 6-5 favorite for this latest renewal before a sellout crowd of 31,000. The weatherman predicted partly cloudy skies with a chance of showers ending in the forenoon. In the event of rain, the game will be ‘ re-scheduled for tonight. A continuous downpour would delay the game until Wednesday nwr&ing or afternoon. Bold Ruler Out Os Arlington Classic NEW YORK (UP) — Bold Ruler, winner of the Preakness Stakes, will not run in Saturday’s SIOO,OOO Arlington classic at Chicago because he “isn't just right” according to trainer Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons. Fitzsimmons said there was “nothing particularly wrong” with the Wheatley Stable colt and he probably would make his next start in August at Saratoga.

Hoad Blasted For Turning Tennis Pro. NEW YORK (UPf — United States hopes of regaining the Davis Cup soared today while Australian tennis officials blasted Lew Hoad for turning pro. “The Davis Cup competition is wide open now that Lew has turned pro,” said Rehville H. McCan, president of the U. S. Lawn Tennis Assn. “His decision certainly has helped our chances and the chances of other countries, too. We have great hopes." When Hoad accepted a record $125,000 contract Monday from promotor Jack Kramer, he left the tennis-mad Australians without an experienced Cup player to defend the amateur game’s most coveted trophy next December. Th Lawn Tennis Assn, of Australia reacted by accusing Hoad of breaking a written promise not to turn pro until Jan. 31, 1958, and ' moved to bar Kramer's troupe ' from its big stadiums. In Los Angeles, Pancho Gonza- ' les said Kramer would have to get a man to take his place in the Tournament of Champions at Forest Hills, N. Y., if Hoad is an entrant. The tournament starts Saturday and will mark Lew's pro debut. “If Hoad is in the Tournament of Champions. I'm out of it,” Gon-;' zales said. “This is unfair to me.'; I had been looking forward to play- 1 ing Hoad in a ‘head to head’ tour for the world championship. Any previous meetings in tournaments would detract from next year’s big tour." Bluffton's Football Coach Resigns Post Herb Hoffman, head football and track coach at Bluffton since 1954. resigned recently to become principal of a high school in a consolidated district northwest of j Marion. Hoffman, holder of a master's, degree in education, joined a long list of coaches in this area who I have resigned this season. Yes-i terday Huntington’s football coach, Bill Williams, resigned after 15 years service to take a teaching position in Taft, Calif. Coaches at Decatur, Monmouth, Pleasant, Mills, and Berne have ■>lso announced changes and resignations.

Study Rejection Os Nuclear Test Ban Ban Is Rejected By Soviet Russia LONDON (UP' — Western delegates to the London disarmament conference today postponed an emergency sessioh Called to discuss the exact meaning of Russia's rejection of a nuclear test ban. The session was postponed until Wednesday because French delegate Jules Moch flew home to Paris to consult with his government on the implications of the “no” to the Western-proposed nuclear test ban voiced Monday by Soviet chief delegate Valerian Zorin.„— While Moch was putting the Soviet rejection to the Paris government for study, U.S. chief delegate Harold E Stassen referred the Russian stand to Washington. It also was reported ttoit Stassen might approach Zorin pwivately to find out if his rejection Monday was a final answgr to. the Western compromise offer on nuclear tests —or merely a tactical maneuver. The blunt Soviet statement plunged the disarmament talks into gloom and Western delegates wondered if it was a return to the Soviet "hard” foreign policy line. The Western delegates stayed up I late Monday night studying official translations of Zorin's 90-minutc speech. Todays regular disarmament session was postponed until Wednesday and the Western representatives studied the significance of Zorin's words.

Frick 1$ Reelected As Baseball's Czar ST. LOUIS (UP) — Ford Frick will continue as baseball commissioner tor another seven years, but his election contained somewhat of a slap even though he remains ii* the job. The 16 major league owners, who voted unanimously to retain the former sports writer until Sept. 21, 1965, failed to give him a raise. He will get the same $65,000 per year for the new terny that he has received on his current seven-year contract, which expires Sept. 21, 1958. Frick had virtually no comment when notified of his re-election. Instead, he said that "about all I have to say is ‘thank you’.” Frick was notified of his appointment by Tom Yawkey, owner of the Boston Red Sox, and Phil Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cubs. Then the owners deferred action on whether to let the league presidents work out details of Frick’s new contract, or turn it over to a special committee. Election of the commissioner to a new term was the only activity of the joint session of the two leagues. The American League held lengthy discussions earlier on two points—National League franchise shifts and catastrophe insurance—but took no vote. The National League rejected a bid by George V. McLaughlin of New York for a franchise in the Borough of Queens, voted in favor of extending the major league-Na-agreement tor five years, and tionai Association of Baseball heard a report by league attorney Lewis Carroll on recent hearings in Washington on legislation for or against baseball. Official Asserts Soil Bank Working Government Breaks Even On Soil Bank WASHINGTON (UP)—The government has contracted to pay about 600 million dollars this year to soil bank farmers who agree to take surplus crops out of production. Yet government reports indicate —this year's production of wheat, cotton, corn, rice and tobacco will be a bumper crop — comparable to the record output of 1955 and 1956 Taxpayers naturally are asking: "How come?. . .what happened to the soil bank program that was supposed to reduce production 20 per cent?” The Agriculture Department says the soil bank is working. “We’re breaking even on it,” a department official told the United Press. "We are not adding to the surplus which is costly any way you look at it. "If the government hadn’t agreed to pay farmers for taking land out of production of basic crops, early crop reports indicate they would produce far more this year than ..last. The surplus would have increased, our price support losses would have gone up, and Wa’d have the stuff in bins running up storage charges. Not Getting Bigger "But with the soil bank, our surplus is not getting bigger*” As to why production this year is likely to be large even with 28 million acres in the soil bank, the official said: 1 “Moisture conditions changed overnight in the Great Plaines. The drought broke. Growing conditions arc more favorable now than they have been for some time. The yield is going up There has been a trending increase in yield for years. Farmers are using improved varieties of seed, better fertilAer, and better insect control methods.” Department officials usually consider wheat the No. 1 surplus problem. If the 10 million winter wheat acres and the spring wheat acres in the soil bank had been planted, the crop would have been increased by about 236 million bushels. Costs Run High The extra production would have gone under price support loan and eventually would have been taken over by the government. It would have cost the government $2 a bushel, or 472 million TOMORROW TOT’S DAY AT t Edward’s Studio

dollars. The Treasury would have to pay about 6 cents a bushel to borrow the money to pay farmers. The Commodity Credit Corp, would have had to pay about 16 cents a bushel to storp the wheat If the CCC sold the wheat abroad, the subsidy would have been about 72 cents a bushel. Administrativecosts and other expenses would bring the total loss on the wheat to about SI a bushel- The sale abroad would net about 236 mil-, lion dollars. The loss would have been the same. As it is. under the soil bank, the government has contracted to pay farmers about 231 million dollars to keep some 13 million acres of wheat land out of production. So, give or take a few million, the department figures the government is about breaking even — without having a wheat surplus to store and overhang the free market. The example for wheat, according to the department expert, works similarly for cotton, corn, rice, and tobacco. He figures the soil bank is a good deal.
