THERE IS A LOT OF BIG news in the sports world now as the All-Star teams have beecn picked, Johansson dethroned the very inm tive former heavyweight ( hampion Patterson, and the pennant races are raging on in a tight fashion. FIRST, A QUICK GLANCE nt the surprising fight of last Friday night. This was built up as another one of those fights as the heavyweight ranks seems to have been at a standstill for quite some time. First of all it lias been this way because of the fact that Patterson’s manager was very part, ular about who his toy fought, lying the blame on the obi IBC for Floyd’s inactivness, second because there apparently is a shortage of heavyweights. At any rate, Patterson was pretty much a champion on paper, not in the ring where the fight history is made, MAYBE HIS MANAGER WAS afraid to put him in the ring much for fear of losing his title, but whatever the reason, a year or so between fights is no good. When ever D'Amato did line up a fi.ht, it was with some one who apparently was almost unheard of and that added nothing to the battle itself. Many took the same view of last Friday night’s battle, but Ingor sure upset the apple cait in the third round. USING ABOUT AS ODD OF training as the old stories of Tony Galento who they used to claim got his hulk in shape by drinking beer and smoking cigars, Johansson had more stories about his lack of work, his dancing parties and swimming with his attractive girl friend from Sweden than any part of his boxing. What did come from his camp was all centered around the supposedly potent right hand he had but refused to use. He spaired very little, claiming he did not want to hurt his sparring partners. ALL THIS SEEMED TO BE ' for publicity, but the gate remained . disappointedly small. It did appear come Friday night that this' character from Sweden knew just what he was doing an:! this type of a person with his own ideas will certainly add color to the sport. ( HIS RIGHT HAND WAS FUL- , ly loaded with dynamite Friday ( and Patterson can certainly tell you that as once the big Swede began unloading it, there was no question about the results of the fight. His tremendous attack was only offset by the continued efforts by Patterson to regain his foot until referee Goldstein wisely stopped the fight. Just what will happen the next time these two step into a ring remains to be seen, but Patterson will certainly । work hard to protect himself from । that powerful right hand that was , So potent once the writers got i finished wih it and Johansson began to use it. THE ALL-STAR SELECTIONS] are minus a few of the names that are pretty well taken fm granted each year with Williams. Musial and Mantle all passed up in the starting lineups. In fact, Mantle was the only one of the three even selected on the second spots according to the votes of the players, managers and coaches as the other two have had a lot of trouble getting off to any kind of a start this yea)-. Mantle was defeated for the Centerfield spot by Al Kaline of Detroit who has gotten off to the best staid he has enjoyed since the year of 1955 when he won the batting title. WILLIAMS MISSED MUCH OF the early season with injuries and

only of late has raised his batting average above the .200 mark. Be is now beginning to hit the bail better and in all probability will get back up to the familiar figures of .300 plus before too long. Musial. even though not that low, certainly hasn’t been hitting like Stan the Man usually hits, although lately his average has also gained a few points. Mantle after a slow start went into quite a stieak as he paced the surge by the New soi kers that raised them back into the real running. However, I Kahne’s hitting and all-arcundl play has put him up at the top' of the league in hitting all season I long and anyone with a .350 mark j is rather hard to over look. THE FABULOUS AARON OF the Braves set some kind of a record when he was selected by every eligible voter this year. He received a total of 208 votes and that represents every one in the National league except his own teammates who by the rules can not vote for him. This was deserved though with the season he is having. The Braves walked off with the title of having the most starters from on e team as they placed Ed Mahews and Del Crandall on the starting lineups also. SAN FRANCISCO HAD THEIR two great stars, Orlando Cepeda and Willie Mays, elected to starting assignments and the remaining three spots were taken by members of three different clubs, Ernie Banks of the Cubs at shortstop; Johnny Temple of the Reds at second and Wally Moon of the Dodgers as the starting left-fielder. In the American League, two teams placed two starters each, the White Sox with their second base combination of Fox and Aparicio; and Cleveland had two outfielders. Rocky Colavito and Minnie Minoso named on the most ballots. The other spots are Gus Triandos, catcher, of Baltimore; Bill Skowron, first base, Yankees; Harmon Killebrew, third base, Washington; and Kaline of Detroit in center field. »’« QUICKLY RECOGNIZING THE runner-ups at each position they are.

MOVIE REVIEWS From THE RIALTO Kiik Douglas, a notoriously hard worker, had even his fill of labor during the production of “Paths of Glory,’’ opening Wednesday, July 1. for 4 days through United Ait-i ists release. “Paths of Glory” is a screen] adaptation of Humphrey Cobb’s I great modem war novel. Its cast,] in addition to Douglas, the star, is headed by Ralph Meeker, Adolphe I Menjou, Wayne Morris, George' Macready and Richard Anderson. A I ByrnaProduction, “Paths of Glory”] was produced by James B Harris and directed by Stanley’ Kubrick ' Although the story of “Paths of] Glory revolves about a dozen'

soldiers of the World War I French Army, it pivots on the character of Colonel Dux, played, by’ Douglas. He is in almost evciy’ scene in the picture, and, for the ten weeks in which the film was in production on location in Germany, Kirk worked every single day. And it was not as if work consiste I of holding a teacup and tossing off] drawing-room quips. A war story! that makes no bones about it, “Paths of Glory,” is full of battlefield scenes, trench warfare, night j marchers and other such strenuous ) sequences. j An exciting story of inter-plan-1 [ etary space travel, playing on the] same program with “Paths of Glory”. Released through United Artists, the Vogue Pictures pro- 1 duction “IT! The Terror From Beyond Space" is as thrilling as next week’s headlines. Written by! Jerome Bixby and starling Marshall Thompson and Shawn Smith,] the picture tells the story of a] rescue expedition to the p’anet| Mars. It seems that the United ( States initiated the first space trip, and for years no word had been ) heard from the expedition. A sec ond ship and crew were sent into) space. They arrived safely on Mars I only to discover one lone survivor, a Colonel Carruthers (Marshall) Thompson), the remainder of the! crew having been mysteriously j murdered. Enroute back to earth,; a Martian monster is discovered on I the spaceship.. This perilous s:tu-i ation will leave the action fans breathless.
