Ryan By years, perform for the Nation. als and Nolan "Double and Near Triple Ryan make an appearance for the Americans, Mays and Ryan were added to the respective squads Thurs. day after Kuhn granted the two leagues permission to Increase their squads by one man aplece. The moves by baseball's three top executives came after the rival managers -Sparky Anderson of the Cincinnati Reds and Dick Williams 6f the Oakland A's had falled to include Mays or Ryan on their squads.

Making their selections on the basis of current professional excellence, the managers concluded that Mays and Ryan did not measure up to those standards, What they overlooked--and what Kuhn, National League President Charles Feeney and American League President Joe Cronin realized--is that the All Star game is one of the game's showcase events and has been popularized over the years since 1933 as "'the fans' game" The desire of the fans to see old favorites as opposed to young players having better seasons has been evident in nationwide balloting. Mays' presence on the NL squad is a concession that the fans want to see No. 24 take one more turn around- Are New 1 Added To Ruling his last -with the greats of the game even though his. skills may be diminishing. Ryan's presence on the AL squad acknowledgement that 'the same fans want to see a pitcher who has pitched two no-hitters and come within an inning of another in the last two months face the cream of the NL's hitters.

Other players, named to the NL squad by Anderson are infielders Nate Colbert of San Diego, Dave Concepcion of Cincinnati, Darrell Evans and. Dave Johnson of Atlanta, Joe Torre of St. Louis and inflelder. outflelder Willie Stargell of Pittsburgh, catcher Ted mons of St. Louis, and outfielder- Bobby Bonds of San Francisco, Willie Davis Manny Mota of Los.

Today's Sport Parade By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sport: Editor NEW YORK (UPI) Nolan Ryan isn't the least bit worried. He wasn't concerned about being left off the American League All-Star team in the first place, and now that oversight becomes purely demic because he has been added to the squad as the 29th member, Nor is he worried about not getting any immediate for his two' no-hitters.

He'll certainly profit from them eventually. Harry. Dalton, the man who. runs the shop for California Angels, assured Ryan he'd. take care of him when the season was over for that first no-hitter of his against Kansas City two months ago, so he's certainly not going to forget about this last one against Detroit, Nobody will.

Nobody who follows baseball, anyway. When it. comes down to instant, and sometimes even perpetual recognition, nothing beats pitching a no-hitter, or 4no-no" as some pitchers refer to it. He Remembers It Too 461 was with nine different ball clubs and won more than 200: games," the late Bobo Newsom used to say, "and some. guy'11 come up to me and say, Hey, I remember you, you pitched a no hitter Yeah, I remember it, too, Got beat in 10 innings by One hundred seventy four nohitters have been pitched since the National and American Leagues were established and that includes the three turned in this season, Ryan's two and the one.

KC's Steve Busby hurled against Detroit back in April, "Pitching a no hitter doesn't automatically make the. season for you," says Busby, the Royals' poised, highly intelli. gent 22-year-old righthander struggling along with a 7.10 figure now, remember Bo Belinsky's no-hitter and some of the others who pitched no hitters, That's all. many of them ever did, It shows you how much luck is Involved. think the majority of no hitters are the result of luck.

Yes, I consider mine one of them," It was Lefty Gomez who popularized the saying, "I'd rather be lucky than good," and 1. you study the list of those: who have pitched nor hitters you'll spot both types, Some of The Ones You'll find Hall of Famers Cy Young, Walter. Johnson, Bob Feller, Carl Hubbell, Warren Spahn and Sandy Koufax and you'll also find Bill McCahan, Dave Morehead, Don Nottebart, Jack Kralick and George Culver. Perhaps the luckiest of all though was Alva "Bobo" Holloman, a husky right-handed nothing-baller from Thomaston, who should be pushing about 50 Bobo wasn't the greatest pitcher in the world by any means, but what a talker! He was so good, he could talk the paint off a picture frame, and he came close to talking the ears off both. B111 Veeck and Marty Marion back in 1953.

Veeck was running the St. Louis Browns then and Marion was managing them, Holloman had been purchased from Syracuse for $10,000 down and 1f. the Browns kept him after June 15 they'd have to shell out $25,000 more, Marion had made up his mind to send. him back to the minors by May, and that's when Holloman really turned on the talk pleading for at least one chance to start a ball game, "Okay," Marion finally agreed. "Anything to give my ears a rest." Holloman Starts Game Holloman started a game against the Philadelphia A's.

Everyone expected him to get bombed and he did, all right. You never saw so many line drives in your life, except the Browns performed like acrobats in the field that night, They made one high-wire grab after another, catches which astounded even them, and when the game was all over Holloman had a no-hitter in his first major league start, never forget that ball game if I live to be 90," says Vic. who played first base for the Browns that night, barely getting in front of a smoking ground ball in time for the final out, Bobo Holloman will never forget that game either. It was the only complete one he pitched all season, and he was sent back to the minors before the year was out. remember you," said a guy who recognized him some years later, "You're the fella who pitched that no "Yeah, that's me," confessed Bobo.
