Page July 7, 1964 Express, Lock Haven, Pa, All Star Managers Have Hurler Shortage Coaches Want More Pitchers for Next Year NEW YORK (AP) The rival All-Star managers, hard pressed to select a rested starting pitcher for today's mid-summer classic between the National and American Leagues, advocated a wider range of pitchers to choose from for future AU- Star games. American League Manager Al Lopez, after much deliberation, picked Dean Chance of the Los Angeles Angels as his starter although the right-hander pitched Sunday against Hie Boston Red Sox. All eight AL pitchers over the weekend. National League Manager Walter Alston's choice was cut and dried. He named Don Drysdale of his own Los Angeles Dodger team partly because Don.

was the only right-hander on the NL All-Star staff who had not pitched over the weekend. Four of the seven NL pitchers worked Sunday. Both managers said they preferred right-handers because of the predominance of right-handed hitters in the two starting line-ups. Originally, Alston had four right-handers to choose from but ttie nomination became automatic when Jim Bunning pitched Saturday and Juan Marichal and Dick Farrell worked Sunday. Drysdale turned back the New York Mets 6-2 Friday night.

"At the moment I have no Idea who will be my second pitcher," said Lopez. "It depends on which one is more rested, and the line-up the National League uses. I could use Camilio Pascual, a right-hander, or Gary Peters, a left-hander, depending upon the situation. And I've always got Dick Radatz and John Wyatt." Alston said ttiat in all probability Bunning, Philadelphia's perfect game pitcher, would be his second choice, followed by Philly southpaw Chris Short, the Baseball Standings By THE ASSOCIATED PRES; National League W.

While neither manager agreed with Casey Stengel's suggestion that a rule be passed prohibiting an All-Star pitcher from working fine Sunday before the game, agreed that a change was desirable.

"I would prefer that, instead of selecting seven or eight pitchers, we name 10 or 11," said Alston. "In this way we can be better protected against a possible shortage of sufficiently rested pitchers. "It's this way every year said Lopez. "Managers fighting for a pennant are going to arrange their rotation so as to get their best pitcher to work Sunday. In this way, he can have him ready to pitch again after the three-day All-Star break." Lopez said he had no specific plans to make changes after the first three innings.

Starting players, other than pitchers, are required to play the first three innings. Drysdale, who was the start- Ing pitcher three previous All-Star games, faced a line-up that included home run leader Harmon Killebrew, batting leader Bob Allison, No. 2 hitter Tony Oliva, switch-hitting star Mickey Mantle and last year's most valuable player Elston Howard. Other AL starters included Bobby Richardson, Jirn Fregosi and Brooks Robinson. It was the first All-Star appearance for the 23-year-old Chance, who was faced with the task of overcoming a powerful NL batting order that included Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays and Billy Williams, the Nos.

1, 2 and 3 hitters in the league. Other starters included Orlando Cepeda, Ron Hunt, Dick Groat, Ken Boyer, and Joe Torre.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Taking time out for the All-Star game today, the Philadelphia Phillies are resting comfortably with a game National League lead, thanks to a three- game sweep of the San Francisco Giants last weekend.

AFL Players Want Playoff Game with NFL BOSTON so the American Football League management, that talk the National into a playoff. Now labor is giving it a try. At least such an interleague meeting on the field as well as off has been proposed by Tommy Addison, Boston Patriots' linebacker and president of the AFL Player Association. Addison has contacted Ordell Braase, Baltimore Colts' defense end who is NFL counterpart.

Addison suggests a meeting of both league's associations to "end this senseless war" and improve pro football in general and the players' lot in particular. Braase said in Baltimore he had received word from Addison but would not comment until he has discussed the matter! with his association's membership. As the American challengers, led by Jack NickJaus, Doug Sanders, Tony Lema and Doug Ford, and others arrived, the spectator fever hit the Old Course. Golf fans by the hundreds wandered around, sporting their spectator tickets. "The spectator is the king nowadays," said George Simms, press officer for the open.

Simms, a golf writer in Britain for years, is by his very existence a sign of the times.

Al Erickson led the Giant hitting with a two-for- three night knocking in three of the seven runs.

Starter, Larry Patterson (2-8) took the loss for the Indians who are now games from the top. Reading hurler Doug Gentry gave up only five scattered singles to York as his teammates pounced on starter and loser George Angel (4-10) and reliever Bill Kirk for a total of 18 of them singles. The Sox scored three runs in each of the first three stanzas in giving Gentry his sixth victory against three setbacks. At Elmira southpaw Paul Khechtges pitched 7 2-3 innings of hitless ball in relief as the Pioneers whipped the Mets 103. 23 men he faced to earn his fifth victory in eight decisions.
