Second Major All-Star Game Being Studied MILWAUKEE (UPD - Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick’s okay and ironing out such details as radio and television commitments is all that stands between a second major league AllStar game in Los Angeles in August; Executive Vice President Birdie Tebbetts of the Milwaukee Braves said Tuesday club owners and players -had approved a second game and tentatively selected Los Angles as the site. A likely date is Aug. 3 — an open date tor both leagues. The regular All-Star game is set for July 7 in Pittsburgh. / Frick has indicated he will go along with a second All-Star game which was advanced by player representative Robin Roberts of the Philadelphia Phillies as a means of increasing the players pension fund and providing cash for minor league aid and youth baseball programs. The major leagues held two All-Star games during the war with the second game against former major - leaguers in service. Tebbetts said the plan next year will be to hold the two games in American League cities and extend the normal All-Star break to four days to permit playing of both contests. After that, the games will alternate between the leagues like they do now. 'Tm sure the people on the West Coast will be anxious to see some of the American League stars in action;” he said. But Frick said that if in his efforts to sell television and radio rights for the second game he ran into evidence that it was regarded as of lesser importance “I would vote against it.” AMERICAN ASSOCIATION Eastern Division W.

Ted Williams Raps Out 2,500th Hit • KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPD -Ted Williams, 40-year-old Boston Red Sox star outfielder who Tuesday night hit the 2,500th base hit of his major league career, took the occasion pretty much in his stride. But he might have been a little happier had not the Kansas City Athletics triumphed over Boston, 5-3. * Williams’ hit was a ringing double into left center field in the first inning off right-hander Ray Herbert. The game was halted while the umpires presented the ba! Ito Williams. He gave it to clubhouse man Johnny Orlando for safekeeping. Hoyt Wilhelm Hurls Eighth Win Os Season By MLTON RICHMAN United Press International They lit torche? and exploded fireworks for Hoyt Wilhelm, and you gotta admit the guy rates even Roman candles for pitching Baltimore to within a half game of first place. All this to-do took place Tuesday night when the veteran 35-year-old knucklebailer reeled off his eighth straight victory without a defeat by beating the Chicago White Sox, 3-2. Wilhelm seattar ed seven hits and struck out eight while boosting the Orioles into second {dace, but it turned but to be the toughest game he hurled all year. The reason for that was gnats. That’s right, bugs. » They swarmed all over Wilhelm in the first inning as he tried to pitch to the White Sox at Comiskey Park. Wilhelm said they were so thick he couldn’t breathe, let alone pitch. Fireworks Do Trick First, Baltimore coach Al Vincent tried getting rid of the gnats with a That didn’t help. Then the umpires burned torches but that was no good, either. Finally, a group of fireworks experfs exploded a huge smoke boifib That did the trick. tfee Senators defeated the slumping first-place Indians, 3-2, in 10 innings; the Tigers blanked the -Yankees, 2-0, and the Athletics topped the Red Sox, 5-3. Milwaukee stretched its National League lead to 2% games with a 3-0 triumph over San FyanCincinnati nipped Los'“Angeles, 5-4, arid Harvey (Perfect Game) Haddix of Pittsburgh shut out St. Louis, 3-0, after the Cardinals beat the Pirates, 3-1, in the completion of a game suspended on May 3. Rain postponed the Philadelphia-Chicago game. Homer Scalps Indians Ron Samford’s 10th inning homer for Washington sent Cleveland down to its fourth straight defeat. Don Mossi of the Tigers limited the Yankees to four hits in posting his third victory against the same number of losses. Detroit collected only three hits off loser Duke Maas and two relievers. Ted Williams slammed the 2,500th hit of his career but it wasn’t enough, and the Athletics came from behind to overcome the last-place Red Sox. Williams reached the milestone with a first-inning double that formed part of a three-run rally. Bob Rush of the Braves set the Giants down on five hits to gain his fourth victory without a loss. Rush struck out eight, didn’t walk a man and never allowed a Giat baserunner to advance past first. Johnny Temple’s sacrifice fly with the bases loaded in the eighth inning snapped a 4-4 tie and gave the Reds their victory over the Dodgers. Haddix, making his first appearance since his “perfect” 12innihg feat against the Braves on May 26, gave up eight hits and struck out six in blanking the Cardinals for his fourth victory of the year. to the regularly scheduled game, Lindy McDaniel of the Cards pitched three scoreless ninings to preserve Gary Blaylock's third victory in the suspended game of May 3rd. 15-Year-Old Boy Is Crushed By Tractor RENSSELAER, Ind.

Brown Defends Title In TV Bout Tonight WASHINGTON (U PI)-Cham-pion Joe Brown, slender Negro boxer-puncher, is favored at 12-5 to beat Italian Paolo Rosi, a baldish raw-boned slugger, tonight in their battle of "oldest men” for the world lightweight crown. They are the oldest pair to fight for the 135-pound title: Brown, 33, and Rosi, 31. But each is still such an effective puncher that some '‘sportsmen” are offering 7-5 that the bout at Uline Arena does not last its scheduled 15 rounds, regardless of the winner. Promoter Goldie Ahearn expects a near-capacity 7,500 and a gate of more than $50,000, despite two days of steady rain that curtailed somewhat the sale of tickets for this indoor show. Bout Televised Nationally Washington’s first title fight in 18 years will be televised nationally by ABC at 10 p.m. e.d.t, with a local blackout on a 100mile radius. The last championship fight here was on May 23, 1941, when Joe Louis won on a seventh - round disqualification over big Buddy Baer. • Brown, who now lives at Baton Rouge, La., is making his seventh defense of the title in his 100th professional fight. He hopes within the next year to equal or surpass the eight successful defenses made by the late Benny Leonard who retired undefeated. However, Joe- indicated in his last three performances that he may be slipping. He kept his title by an eyelash after 15 furious rounds with southpaw Kenny Lane. He lost a non-title decision to Johnny Busso but managed to beat Busso in a title fight, last Feb. 11, over the full 15-round route. Nine Consecutive Wins Rosi—formerly of Rieta, Italy—but now a naturalized citizin living in New York—earned tonight’s shot by coming through his last nine bouts unbeaten, although held to one draw. His best wins on that string were a decision and a knockout in two bouts with Bobby Scanlon and a decision over Busso. This year he outpointed Flash Elorde and stopped Frankie Ryff (3) on April 10. Rosi, son of a fireworks manufacturer. is an aggressive banger, who fights either from the upright stance or from the bob and weave. A converted southpaw, his left hook is as dangerous as his right upbercut. Rosi didn’t turn professional until he wai 23. That accounts' ftfr his having only 36 fights. He won 31, lost four and had one draw. He registered 13 knockouts. Brown scored 32 kayoes while winning 72 of his 99 bouts. He lost 16, drew in nine and had two no-contest affairs. He was stopped three times —by Sandy Saddler, Johnny Bratton and Georgie Araujo. 11 Indiana Youths Gain 4-H Awards LAFAYETTE, Ind. <VPD—Six girls and five boys received state achievement awards at the opening of the 41st annual 4-H Roundup at Purdue Tuesday.

Bulldozing Channel For Undrained Holes Bulldozing on the Robert H. Heller farm between Stratton Place and the St. Mary’s river this week is being done to cut a channel between a number of undrained holes to the river, Cletus Gillman, U. 3. soil conservationist .said today. Surveyor's instruments and the bulldozing had led some people to speculate that a lake or pond was being constructed. Actually a number of pools form on the farm after flooding, and do not drain. A shallow ditch will be constructed to help these ponds drain. The work has been planned for two years, but high water has prevented working in the area.
