I TUE COURIER JOURNAL, LOUISVILLE, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 14, 1965 SECTION 2 8 Takes All-Star Series Lead (With 6-5 Victory Santo's Single Snaps Tie, Overshadows Five Homers By JACK HAND Aitoclatad tmt Minneapolis St. Paul Ron Santo's scratch single in the seventh inning gave the National League a 6-5 victory over the American League yesterday in an All-Star, game slugfest involving five home runs. The National Leaguers, climaxing a long (uphill struggle in which they once trailed 12 games to four, finally took the series lead i for the first time, 18-17-1. Home runs by Willie Mays of San Fran-cisco, Joe Torre of Milwaukee and Willie j. Stargell of Pittsburgh built up a 9-0 National League lead in the first two innings, stunning -a sellout crowd of 46,706 at Metropolitan Stadium's first All-Star game.

But the underdog American Leaguers clawed back with one run in the fourth and tied the score in the fifth on a pair of booming two-run homers by Dick McAuliffe of Detroit and Harmon Killebrew, the home town hero of the league-leading Twins. Gibson Snuff Out Rally The Americans thre'w a scare into the Nationals when Tony Oliva of the Twins opened the ninth with a double off Bob Gibson of St. Louis. However, Max Alvis of Cleveland popped up trying to bunt. Gibson, the World Series hero last fall, then struck out Killebrew and pinch-hitter Joe Pepitone of the New York Yankees.

Mays, the Giants' center fielder, opened the game with a 398-foot homer and scored the winning run in the seventh after drawing his second walk. Willie led off the seventh by working Sam McDowell for a walk on a 3-2 pitch. Hank Aaron of Milwaukee singled to center, moving Mays to third. When Roberto Clemente of Pittsburgh forced Aaron at second, Maya held third base. But Willie was off and running with the winning run when Santo, the Chicago Cubs' third baseman, beat out a high bouncing single.

Santo's hit hopped past Bobby Richardson of the Yankees and finally was taken back of second by Zoilo Versalles of the Twins. Santo beat Versalles' throw to first while Mays scored. tired Aaron, but" Stargell lashed a single to center. After Richie Allen of the Phillies popped up, Torre hit a 2-2 pitch into the left field pavilion for two more runs. It was Stargell's turn in the second, Jim (Mudcat) Grant of the Twins had taken over for the Americans after Pappas' disastrous first.

Stargell slammed a long home run into the bullpen in center field, scoring Juan Marichal who had opened the inning with a single to center. i Marichal of the Giants turned in a glittering pitching performance. The high-kicking right-hander, who started the game, faced only nine mea in the first three innings and allowed only one Jilt a bouncing single through the box by Vic Davalillo of Cleveland leading off the third. The runner was erased in a double play. Marichal nosed out Mays by one vote to win the Arch Ward Memorial Award as the Ail-Star game's Most Valuable Player.

McAuliffe, a pesky hitter for the Americans all afternoon, opened the fourth with a single off Jim Maloney of the Cincinnati Reds, who was destined to give up all five American runs. After a walk to Killebrew, Rocky Cola-vito of Cleveland singled to center, scoring McAuliffe. Maloney, who lost a toughie to the New York Mets several weeks ago 1-0 after pitching 10 no-hit innings, was knocked out in the four-run fifth inning. It looked like a quiet fifth when the first two batters went down quickly. Then pinch-hitter Jimmie Hall of the Twins walked on a 3-2 pitch and McAuliffe powered a long homer over the center field wall.

Mays went back as deep as he could and then tried to climb the fence, but the ball sailed into the bullpen. Winless Lopez Loses 8th Brooks Robinson of Baltimore beat out an infield single off Santo's glove. Then Killebrew almost struck out but catcher Torre failed to hold a foul tip on the third strike. Given one more chance, Killebrew drove the ball deep into the stands in left field over 400 feet from the plate, tying the score. It was another disappointment for Al Lopez of the Chicago White Sox, managing the American League because Yogi Berra was fired after winning the 1964 pennant.

Lopez now has lost five straight as an All-Star manager, plus two as an All-Star player and one as an All-Star coach. Mauch, the Philadelphia manager who took over for pennant-winning Johnny Keane when the latter resigned to take the Yankee helm, used 20 players and Lopez used one more. "I thought for a while we were going to win 15-0," Mauch said. There were no great fielding plays in the errorless contest. Mays had to make a great recovery in the seventh after misjudging Hall's fly ball.

Willie came in too far, suddenly back-tracked and made a one-handed grab going away. 4, ft i 1 I I Koufax Gains Victory JttrfflSi mi -in Hi ill i mini iiii nii II limn iiiKllli Staff PlMft by WBrrtn Ktasfarmm 'I It Was Just That Kind Of A Day Sandy Koufax, the Los Angeles Dodgers' ace lefty, was credited with the victory over McDowell of the Cleveland Indians. Mays, leading off in the unorthodox batting order created by manager Gene Mauch, slammed the second pitch by starter Milt Pappas of Baltimore into the lower section of the new left field pavilion seats. It was, his third home run In All-Star play and the hit, his 21st, set an All-Star record. He had been tied with Stan Musial, the retired St Louis Cardinal great.

This run and his winner in the seventh also boosted Willie's record total to 18 runs in 16 All-Star games. Pappas, the fiery Oriole right-hander, re slips away from him on a backhand retura And he lost to second-seeded Mac Pigman of New Orleans 6-0, 6-0. But he still hasjfive more yeara to play in the same division; All four seeded players in the bracket advanced yesterday. (See atory on Page 10.)

Soon the girls were too good for us and we backed away. "The boy said he would rather swim. So I built him a pool Jn our yard. But he soon found that swimming by himself was no fun. He began going to the club and trying tennis, also.

"A new club was built closer to home two years ago. We joined it to give the girls more time to play. Then we joined a third club, which has more courts and more boys. Now the girls never lack for a court or an opponent" The result: Olga, 16, the older daughter, is ranked No. 1 among girls 16 and under.

I pick them up again in time for dinner. After dinner they do their homework and I return to the hospital and work from 7 to 9 p.m." Asked if that wasn't an unusually rigorous schedule for a wife and mother, she laughed. "Everybody in Mexico works too much. That is our way." "But travel posters show Mexico as a piece where natives sleep all day under large hats," a listener said. "We have a great many people like that," she said.
