Your Sports Corner By Robert Ur bin WHAT A DIFFERENCE A year makes. This thought must certainly be running through the heads of baseball fans and players both as th; final tabulations for the 1956 All-Star game have been made. The great difference is in the team chosen by the fans to represent the National league. OUT OF THE EIGHT starters not including the pitcher, their are exactly eight new faces this year. In contrast, the American has seven of theii eight starters back in the lineup again. Only Jim Finigan, who started at third last year is missing and his ieplacement, George Kell, certainly is no .stranger to the classic. THE CINCINNATI REDLEGS went “wholehog" on the voting as the people in Cincinnati must have gotten together an dedcided to vote near the tail end of the voting period because the last vote really pulled some surprises. Probably the biggest surprise of all was the keystone combination o! Johnny Temple and Roy McMillan" topping Red Scheodinst and Ernie Banks. McMillan has long been acclaimed one of the finest glove men at short, but Banks has the reputation of being < ne of the game's best because of the long ball he hits. AS FAR AS TEMPLE GOES he is a good little ball player but his selection to the starting lineup is almost as much a surprise as is Me Millan’s. Ed Bailey's topping Roy Campanella was certainly just able because of the tremendous year Bailey is enjoying. This also goes for Frank Robinson the leftfielder. Gus Bell topped .such established stars as Duke Snider of the Dcdgers, Willie Mays of the Giants and Richie Ashburn of the Phillies. Bell was always in the running in the past few years but was over shadowed by the other great centerfieldcrs. I TO ADD TO THE ALL Cincinnati selection, the three that did miss the starting Imeups. Kluszewski, Jablonski and Post, were all runner-up to the numbei one men selected. The vote this year was trobably ten or eleven times lightei than last year because ot the different way of handling it. The Chicago Tribune usually tabulated the v< tes with hundreds of papers and radio stations going in with them. SINCE THE DEATH OF Arch Ward, the Tribune didn’t do the work on the votes this year and it appeared that the interest might not have been as great as it was in the previous years. Instead ot seeing the standings of the players every day, this year they only appear every four or five days and voting was probably i verlooked by many. THE THREE JOINING THE National league team by vote inaddition to the Cincinnati delegation are Dale Long at first, Ken Boyer at third and Stan “the Man" Musial in right field. The starting pitcher will be picked by Walt Alston. j FOR TH E AMERICAN league it is Vernon, Fox Kuenn and Kell around the infield, Williams, Mantle :.nd Kahne in the outfiled with Berra doing the catching. The rest <.f the 25 man team will b> chosen by Stengal. Keep in mind however that all 16 major league clubs must be represented and that can affect the selections of the managers. ' i l

Local Couple Enjoy Trip To Conference (By Mr. and Mrs. Charles Van Winkle) On June 9th 1956, a group of 1 i eighty six folks left Chicago at 3o'clock for a tour through the. Northern States and Western Canada over the Hiawatha Mil- ' waukee Road. It happened to be a new train. Nothing of importance happened as we passed through the Dells of Wisconsin 1 and along the Mississippi River but at sunset the scenery was very nice. I Early Sunday morning we crc«s-l ed the corner ot S. Dakota. As we; had ministers, missionaries and good song leaders we had a very' interesting < hurch service in the forenoon. In the afternoon we changed around in the dome and ' observation car. There were eighteen coaches in- ’ eluding Two diners in which theyj 1 serve splendid meals in some ’ style! Our meals and hotels and ' all sight seeing busses were in- j eluded in our ticket. The Rocky Mountains are grand, but the j Cascades are even grander. We ' came to the mountains about the middle of the afternocn. When we arrived in Seattle on, Monday morning three large Grayhound busses were awaiting us to * take us through the parks and Un-) university around to see thel‘ swinging bijuge. High enough ton let the largest ocean vessels pass; । under it. it is one of two in the. world. After hours of sight seeing]' we took a train to Portland where; iwe saw the rose gardens and Mt. ' Hood before sunset. Next morning! more buss riding to the Cliff | House <fi th? Columbia River and ; Grotto where we went up the; mountain in an elevator. After that we went to the Church ot j the Brothern Conference in Eugene, Oregon, enjoyed very much.; for five days. On Sunday evening] we went back to Portland, then on to Seattle, took the boat across Puget Sound to Victoria. B C.,1 where among other wonderful things we saw Birchard Gardens, 1 supposed to have every species of plants and trees in the world. The I oeauty is beyond description. As-, ter supper at the Empress Hotel we bonded a ship that went up the Gulf of George to Van Couver, still in B. C. Here we to< k another bus trip through Stanley Park which covers 1,01)0 acres right in the heart of the city. The University of B. C. is located here. At night we entrained tor Lake Louise, that little green lake which is over 200 feet deep surronded by mountains covered with, snow, where the roses and tl< wers, are in such profusion. From there we took a twilight ride to Bantf, Alberta, Canada, 300 miles north of the U. S. lire. On our way we saw’ Mt Eisenhower, named for right after World War I, which shows what respect the Dominion has for our president. Banff is; THE ALL-STAR GAME has] always provided many thrills for; the fans and this year will prbably! I come up with some also. For in- 1 stance, Ted Williams has furnished the main talk of several games.। He hit that prodigious home run in the third deck at Briggs Sta-j dium in 1941 that gave the Americans a victory. His two homers in the 1916 game, including the poke] .off of Rip Sewell’s famous bloop-, *er ball certainly will be remembered. THEN IN 1950, WILLIAMS hit the wall in Comiskey Park and in- 1 jured the great Red Sox. He whs out for the remainder of the season. Stan Musial, also a veteran of many games, sewed the game up last year with a twelth-inning circuit clout to give the Nationals another win Many are the thrills' 'stirred up by that one long ball, i O N T H E PITCHING SIDE, 1 the greatest achievement was probably turned in by Cail Hubbcll as he fanned Ruth, Foxx Geriiig, Simmons and Cronin in order I in the 1935 game. Other spark!- | ing pitching performances were ’he 3-hit shut-out in 1916 by Fei- I ler, Newhouser and Kramer in the I 12-0 lout. Joe Nuxhall turned in a very nice j< b last year for the' Nationals as have many pitchers'] ] ovei the 20 years the games have Deen played. THE GAME THIS YEAR will 1 |be played in Griffith stadium in, ] Washington and things will be a ■bit different there also. This year I the officials in Washington cut] I the distance to the fences down ' and made the home run much ; more a part of the game. Several; (weeks ago a new home run re'] jiord for the park f .r the season; I mid already been set and with all the power that is thrown into the lineup for this game, home runs. I ar< jm t expected.

a little pictuiesque city of only four churches. It is completely surrounded by mountains all covered with snow and the water falls are just wonderful. After a day and night here we started home, entered the U. S. at Portal, N. D. The custom officers thought it easier to take our word for it than to open the baggage of eighty-six folks, most of whom had two suit cases. We returned t« Chicago Saturday evening, June 23rd after a grand experience.
