Many International League players voiced a marked reluctance today about returning to Havana where two of them were shot by celebrating rebel soldiers Saturday night during a game between the Cuban Sugar Kings and Rochester Red Wings. Rochester infielder Frank Verdi was struck by a stray bullet above the right temple and shortstop Leonardo Cardenas of the Sugar Kings was winged on the right arm. “If that bullet had been two inches to the left.” said the still shaken Verdi, “all the team would have had to chip in five bucks apiece for flowers.” As a result, the Red Wings refused to take the field for a ' scheduled double-header with the Sugar Kings in Havana Sunday and League President Frank Shaughnessy said in Montreal that the Red Wings “acted with i my permission because I could not order them to play if they thought they were in physical , danger.” But the Red Wings weren’t the ' only cteb in the league that was frightened. “I doubt if we could get our ball club down there right now,” said Manager Pepper Martin of the Miami Marlins. "We have a three-game series in Havana starting Aug. 24th. That’s a long way off. Things will have probably quieted down there by then. But it looks like dangerous ground to tread on right now.” Manager Steve Souchock of Richmond said he heard some of his players say “they're not interested in going back.” “I don’t blame them.” he added. “I would say that it is a little bit dangerous there.” Souchock also said Toronto players had told him their entire team signed a petition saying they would not play in Havana any more this season. The next team scheduled to play in Havana is Montreal on Aug. 11. Shortly after the shooting incident, Umpires Frank Guzzetta and Harry‘Schwartz ordered the game suspended with the score tied 4-4 in the 12th inning and telephoned a full report of the incident to Shaughnessy.

Player Added For Second Star Game BOSTON (UVD—Manager Casey Stengel today named three new pitchers and three more outfielders to the American League squad for the second All - Star game at Los Angeles, Aug. 3. Stengel, was allowed to raise the squad limit from 25 to 28 for the game to be played at the Los Angeles Coliseum. Fred Haney, manager of the National League squad, also will have three additional players available for the second game. Under Haney’s direction, the National League won 5-4 in the first AllStar game held this year at Pittsburgh July 7, Stengel, in a statement issued by American League headquarters here, selected pitchers Cal McLish of Cleveland, Billy O'Dell of Baltimore and Camilo Pascua of Washington to replace Jim Bunning of Detroit, his own Yankee hurler Whitey Ford and Billy Pierce of Chicago. The squad also will include four pitchers named for the first All-Star game — Bud Daley of Kansas City, Ryne Duren of New York, Hoyt Wilhelm of Baltimore and Early Wynn of Chicago. Bob Allison of Washington, Roger Maris of Kansas City and Gene Woodling of Baltimore will join the American League outfield, which includes Ted Wiliams of Boston, now benched with an aching shoulder and neck. This is a recurrence of an early season ailment. According to the rules of the second All-Star game, the managers were required to retain the same 18 non-pitchers that played in the first game, but could make any changes they chose in the pitching staff for the Los Angeles game and could add three players, regardless of position. Haney made no changes in his pitching staff for the second game, and selected as his three ; additions right-hander Sam Jones ■ of San Francisco, shortstop John- ; ny Logan of Milwaukee and handyman Jim Gilliam of Los An- , geles. Haney originally chose Gil ] Hodges of Los Angeles, instead of Gilliam, but switched when ; the big Dodger first baseman suf- ; feted a severely sprained ankle in a game last Thursday.

Braves Bounce Back, Win 4th Straight Game By FRED DOWN United Press International Hie Braves are coming — and the Yankees may be gone. Hiat’s the trend of the pennant races today as the straining defending champions struggle to organize late - season drives. It looks like the Braves are going to make a fight of it; But there's no sign that the Yankees can snap out of the coma that now has them drifting out of the race. The Braves, bouncing back from a seven-game losing streak, ran their winning streak to four games Sunday when they beat* the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-0 and 2-1. They’re now only two percentage points behind secondplace Los Angeles and two games; behind first-place San Francisco.! The Yankees, meanwhile suf-|. sered a 1-0 loss to Frank Laryj and the Detroit Tigers' and fell one game below .500, nine games who took over first place with a 0-0 and 4-3 sweep of the Wash-1 ington Senators. Hie Yankees’! problems were further complicated by the news that first base-, man Bill Skowron is lost for the season with a broken wrist. Cubs Drop Giants The Chicago Cubs scored a 7-3 victory over the Giants, the! Dodgers whipped the St. Louis Cardinals, 8-2, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Cincinnati Reds, 6-3, after a 4-2 loss in other National League games. The Baltimore Orioles knocked the White Sox out of first place, 4-0, after Chicago won the first game, 4-1, and the Kansas City Athletics ran their winning streak to seven games with a 5-4 decision over the Boston Red Sox in the other America n League games. Warren Spahn tossed the 47th shutout of his career and won his 13th gan\e of the season in the first game and then Bob Buhl gained his seventh win for Milwaukee in the nightcap. Lary, who has beaten the Yankees four tubes this year and is 20-5 over them lifetime, pitched an eight-hitter and struck out seven. Art Ditmar matched zeroes with the Alabama bulldog for nine innings but the Tigers won in the 10th. Banks Slams Homer Ernie Banks hit a two- run homer and pitcher Bob Anderson singled home two runs for the Cubs who dealt San Franciscd’i; Mike McCormick his eighth defeat Don Drysdale pitched a sevenhitter and hit a two-run homer as he won his 13th game for the Dodgers. Jerry Lynch and Willie Jones hit homers to spark an eighthit attack that brought Brooks Lawrence his sixth win but then Gene Conley pitched a sevenhitter for his ninth triumph to earn the Phillies a split. Rookie Jim Perry pitched a two-hitter and Woodie Held hit two homers for the Indians in the first game and the Tribe won the 12-inning nightcap when Minnie Minoso doubled and scored on Jim Baxes’ single.
