THIS YEAR'S ALL STAR tilt was a close one and now the series between the two leagues is just as close as it can he because it is all tied in games wun by the two leagues. The National League's victory wasn’t a surprise. but the fashion by which the game was on probably surpi sed many. It was again the long ball that won the game as the National Leaguers pounded oil three home runs with Johnny C '.lison providing the winning margin with a three run blast with two out jn the. ninth. "JHIS YEAR THE TWO MANhgers were a little lax on substituting players.

this game. Several players played the entire game and several mon' played until the last inning oi two. However, the situation with the pitchers almost forced the managers to limit some of the hurlers because 13 out of the 15 worked either Saturday or Sunday. Also, the dominance of righthanded batters in the two lineups curtailed the use of left-handers on the mound. NOW THAT THE GAME IS over, the two leagues will resume wars of the two pennant races. Both have produced some surprises as the teams are now at the mythical halfway point and more often than not. the team that is in first at the middle of the season, ends up there. That leaves the Phillies and Baltimoies in the top spot at this time.

the opening days. Everyone knew the Giants were strong and the Phillies a contender, but looking over the Pliillies lineup, it didn't seem that they would stay up this long. Now they are confident themselves of their chances and getting pitching and clutch hitting to win their games. Theii recent sweep of a three game set against the Giants displayed this confidence and ability. 71HE GIANTS HAVE BEEN in and out of first all year and look to be strong enough this year to stay there. They made it past their annual June Swoon to remain on top until the opening days of July. They, still have some of the best talent anywhere headed by Willie Mays and Juan Marichial. Behind them the teams drop off a ways and are bunched so that they don't remain in the same place from day to day. Everyone almost has had the various spots between third and ninth and at present it is Cincinnati in third, a half dozen games off the pace. RIGHT BEHIND IS PlTTSburgh at seven games and then a litt’e drop to St. Louis who is sotting ten out along with Los Angeles. Milwuakee and the Chicago Cubs are 10 ’ 2 behind and Houston has slipped to 12’ 2 back. This leaves the Mets who have their spot sewed up as they are resting a mere 27 games behind the leaders. BALTIMORE HAS HELD THE lead in the American League for over two years now as they emerged tom a set of games with the Yankees on top and stayed there. They at present enjoy a three game spread over both the White Sox and Yankees. The Sox were top dogs for a long spell but had a crucial 17 game set against the Yanks and Baltimore a few weeks ago that produced on four wins and 13 losses. They have been murder on the lower clubs this year to hold their own. THE YANKS ARE NOT pounding the ball with the old Yankee gusto but you must remember it isn’t August and September yet either when they really can stretch a lead. Their record keeps them close enough that no one gets serious on counting them out of it. Then comes Minnesota with power to burn, but pitching that isn’t nearly as hot. They are seven off the pace but can wreck any team with their long ball talents. PRETTY WEI J. GROUPED behind them is Detroit, Boston, Ix)s Angeles and Cleveland. Os this group. Detroit has been moving up, Boston and Cleveland down, and the Angels have about stood their ground since their 11 game winning streak pulled them from the depth to as high as sixth. Kansas City aad Washington bring up the rear of tne league. ' IjOOKING OVER THE LEADers in the hitting derbies, by this time the more dependable names are present again with a scattering of surprises in store. It is evident that the extra high averages <>f such as Oliva and Williams aren't present as tb<-y struggle to stay in the top of the bunch. Probably the most outstanding single performance is the total of home runs by the Twins' Harmon Killebrew as the power laden outfielder has 30 at the All Star break He is one mass of raw power and can
