Newcombe In 22nd All-Star Scrap National League Is Slight Favorite In Tuesday's Contest At Milwaukee By Joe Reichler MILWAUKEE, (JP) Early Wynn, Cleveland's powerful right-hander, and Brooklyn's Don Newcombe, who also throws from the right side, appear to be the likely choices to obtain the tarting assignments in the 22nd annual major league All-Star game here next Tuesday.

The odds-makers, probably respecting power over pitching, have installed the National League squad a slight favorite to register its ninth victory since the classic originated in 1933. The Americans, who snapped a four-game losing streak last summer with an 11-9 victory in Cleveland, have won 13. There was no I Ted William.

He attended Columbia Academy in Dubuque, Iowa, and studied at Columbia College there for two years. He finished his education at the University of Notre Dame and was the school's first publicity director from 1919-1920 under the late Knute Rockne.

He was author of several books, "Frank Leahy and the Fighting Irish," "The Green Bay Packers," and "The New Chicago Whit Sox." Ward was sports editor of the Dubuque Telegraph Herald in 1919 and the Rockford, Star from 1921 to 1925 before joining the Tribune. He was elected the first president of the Chicago Press Club when it was organized a few years ago In addition to his wife, whom he married in 1921, and their son. Ward is survived by two grandchildren, Thomas Archibald Ward, 4, and Mary Beth Ward 3. Funeral services will be held Tuesday at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Roman Catholic church on Chicago's North Side. Burial will be at All Saints cemetery.

The tall, handsome, powerful fellow is far and away the biggest figure in the game today. Nobody can match his magnetism on a ball field. He has that indefinable something called color to an unlimited degree, and the crowd in its enthusiasm seems to sense it is privileged to watch one of the all-time greats. But his greatness in success can't overshadow his greatness in failure. And that's the mark of a true champion.

Marshall Carlson, accountant and former University of Toledo basketball star, added a 75 and plasterer Ralph Allen shot a 77. The Seattle team was one stroke back with 225 and was in contention until Hans Turner hooked from the 18th tee into a clump of trees. He took a 76, Bill O'Brien a 74 and Erv Furakawa a 75.

He knew the letdown that would greet any failure. When Bob Turley threw a third strike past him the stage was set for dramatics. Many a lesser player would have turned and bewailed the unfairness of the umpire's call, even if the ball had split the heart of the plate, and he knew it. He would kick at the dust, gesture angrily, heave his bat toward the dugout in synthetic rage. He would want everyone to know he was the victim of circumstances; that the failure was no fault of his own.

Williams, looking neither to right nor left, and without a glance at the umpire, strode toward the dugout, a majestic figure in his temporary defeat, and those accustomed to the pyrotechnics of lesser performers could only admire the mh who blamed nobody but himself for his lapse. He had been fooled by a good pitch, and that It probably will come as a sur Yankee Stadium last Monday concerned not hitting. That is, hi3 deportment when his effort met with failure might be taken as a model for any youth, or adult for that matter. Here was the picture: The big guy, who rapidly is becoming a living, breathing legend, and whose presence in the Red Sox lineup had lured uncounted thousands to the park, had hit a long double in his first appearance at the plate. He popped out the second time, the foul ball going so high that Yogi Berra did a whirling dervish dance under it before finally snaring it.

Then came a prodigious home run into the upper deck in right field. Then came his failure in a situation which was made for dramatic success. With two men out and the bases full he came to the plate prise to most baseball followers that Wynn, just about the best pitcher in the American League an intimate friend of many of sports famous people. He was at his desk at the Tribune yesterday and later made a film recorded television interview with Will Harridge, president of the American League, for use in connection with the 22nd All-Star baseball game at Milwaukee Tuesday. He had planned to attend the game.

The classic, originated by Ward, was first played July 6, 1933, in Chicago's Comiskey park to coincide with the World's Fair. It met with so much enthusiasm it became a fixture on the sports calendar and a promotional masterpiece that reached worldwide interest. Baseball fans over the world voted for starting lineups. Fans cast a record of more than six million ballots in the poll to select the 1955 All-Star lineups. On Wednesday night.

Before the shouting died down, 11 police cruisers were at the scene, the field was littered with debris and Jets' Manager Nick Cullop was removed from th game.

The consensus points to the inadequacy of track layouts in coping with the speeds of modern racing cars as one of the main causes for the record. Many tracks and road layouts provide little or no protection for spectators. Hordes of people line the straightaways and antiquated turns with virtually nothing between them and the roaring racers. Retaining walls often are not enough. The impact of a car traveling 130 m.p.h.

can send metal pieces whizzing through the air as if they were shrapnel. There was a retaining wall at Le Mans.
