CAR CRASHED UNTIL DEMOLISHED: Rolling a stock car over until it is completely demolished will be one of the stunts presented tomorrow night when Joie Chitwood's auto dare devils appear at' the Millburg Speedway at 8 :30. Hurls No -Hit Pony Game AMERICAN LEAGUE died Monday and agreed that a pair of bonus players, carried be yond the usual 25-player limit, was the way to solve a perplexing big league problem. Club owner sentiment is against such a restriction.

The present rule requires any bonus player one signed for more than $4,000 yearly salary to remain with the parent club for two years before minor league as signment. Baseball authorities agree generally that compelling a bonus youngster to ride a major league bench for two years with little chance of competition is unfair both to the player and to the club. Robin Roberts, star Philadelphia Phils' pitcher who started today's All-Star game, expressed the view as National league player representative that the bonus system also was unfair to I veteran players. "The players feel that the bonus setup is shoving too many veteran players out of jobs without actually replacing them," said Roberts, who Monday was re-elected to a two- year term as his loop's player re presentative. However, National League Presi dent Warren Giles and Frank Lane, White Sox general manager, said in rebuttal that the player proposal took the teeth out of the present bonus restriction.

'The idea is to discourage pro miscuous signing of bonus players, and putting even two in the same category as returning servicemen beyond the 25-player limit defeats the purpose of the bonus rule," said Lane. At present, the Baltimore Orioles lead the bonus parade with five such players, while the Detroit Tigers have four. In several instances, veteran players have been released to make room for the untested phenoms. Roberts said the subject would come up for owner action next October. The American and National league players also called for a one-year test of unrestricted play by big leaguers In winter ball and suggested that players be allowed to report for spring practice earlier than the usual March 1 limit at the invitation of their clubs.

Currently, no more than five players per club are allowed to play winter ball in Latin American circles. The major league executive coun cil, meeting in Chicago Wednesday and Thursday, is expected to okay tne spring practice relaxation which still calls for exhibition to start March 10. Bob Feller, veteran Cleveland In dians pitcher, was named the ican league player representative for two years.

Boat Pilots Face Police Crackdown Officers To Arrest Reckless Operators The period of grace for local and visiting sailors is over. Effective today St. Joseph Chief Tom Gillespie has instructed Harbor Patrol Offi cers Robert Hatcli, Don Morton and Al Teetael to issue tickets to speeders and violators of the laws of the waterways.

Violators will be arraigned before Judge Joseph R. Collier on Wednesday at 2 p. m. Patrolling of the waterways in the twin cities area has a joint function of St. Joseph and Benton Harbor since mid-May.

Up until today the patrolmen had been instructed to caution rather than arrest violators. Now, that boat owners have had ample time and warning to get accustomed to the new innovation, the time has come to issue summonses "to persistent violators. The department has issued a 10 point harbor policy code. 1. Excessive Speeds The limit Is eight (8) miles per hour anywhere within the harbors.

The area east of Blossomland bridge up the St. Joseph river has been designated as the area where speed boats may race if the lake is too rough for speeding. The only exception to this rule is when the area west of the Blossomland bridge has been properly designated as a speed boat racing lane by the St. Joe Harbor Authority upon proper application. In this event the race committee must post clearly in all boating lagoons the hours and location of the race.

2. Reckless Boat Handling Any boaters speeding in or out of any of the docking lagoons will be prosecuted. Cutting too close to anchored boats, attempting to swamp slower boats, will be considered reckless boat handling. SKIING AREA 3. Rules of navigation should be adhered to and not violated.

By JOE REICHLER MILWAUKEE, July win is the thing no matter whose feelings are hurt. "I'd like to get everybody into the game," added Leo Durocher, the National league's manager in today's 22nd annual All-Star clash, "But if it will weaken my team, I won't do it." Durocher's sentiments were echoed by Al Lopez although the American league pilot did not utter them so emphatically. "I'll play the best men I've got and substitute only when I think it will help us win," he said. Durocher, who earlier had bypassed Philadelphia's Richie Ash-burn, then-'the Naional league's leading hitter, "because I need more rieht handed hittiner strength," surprisingly said he may not even use Willie Mays, his own center field ace. "Can yon imagine," he asked, "sending out your first team and then looking down and seeing two powerhouses like Stan Musial and Mays on the bench? "I'll get Musial in there as soon as the rules permit me after three innings," Leo added.

"I'll have him in left field. But I may not use Willie at all if I don't have to." Durocher reflected for a moment and apparently reconsidered: "If I do put Willie in, it will be in center and move Duke Snider to right. If IH send Henry Aaron to right." Although he professed an utter sentiment, Durocher was swayed by sentiment alone when he nominated Robin Roberts, 13.7, Philadelphia's ace righthander, as his opening pitcher. His original choice was Don New-oombe, Brooklyn's 14-1, right-hander, but he switched to Roberts when he was informed that it would be Roberts' fifth start, tying him with Lefty Gomez for the All-Star record. Lopez, too, exercised the last-minute switch privilege when he decided to open up with Billy Pierce, Chicago's fine left-hander, after first deciding upon Early, 11-4, Wynn, his own right-handed ace.

"I know that Pierce's record, 5-6, does not look good on paper," Lope said, "but it's misleading. Three of his defeats were by 1-0 scores, two by Cleveland." The odds still favored the National leaguers who have won but eigm oi tne previous 21 games, despite four of the last five. War Veteran Not Afraid Of Trabert ATLANTA, July 12-(AP)-A lot of folks would get the shakes at the prospect of tangling with Toiy Trabert on the tennis court, but not Willis Irvin, a twice-wounded combat infantryman of World War II.

Chitwood makes many changes in his show each year and introduces new acts to give the thrill- conscious public more to shudder over. Among the most spectacular of the stunts is the deliberate roll, over of a car until it is reduced to a mass of junk. This is done by Buzz McFadden of Wilmington, one of the veterans of the Chitwood troupe. McFadden is a steely-nerved performer who spends the off season in more rugged work, driving a logging truck in Maine.

Although the roll over is Mc- Fadden's specialty, he also doubles as a motorcycle artist. He performs such tricks as riding a machine through, a flaming, board, and leaping a cycle from ramp to ramp over another motorcycle passing underneath. Paddy Bellows At Decision For Dupas NEW ORLEANS, July 12-(AP) Bloodied Brooklyn billygoat Paddy DeMarco today bellowed for a rematch with top ranked Ralph Dupas, of New Orleans, and claimed he was the victim of a "mother's decision." The former lightweight champion was ruled the loser in an unanimous 10-round decision Monday night. "What do I think of him-" De-Marco fumed in his dressing room. thing he's nothing, that's what I think.

"Talk about your hometown decisions, this was a mother's decision. I beat him easier than I did last time," the stubby battler said, referring to his 10-round decision over Dupas in January 1954. DeMarco held a slight advantage going into the seventh round, mainly by pinning Dupas against the ropes and chopping with an effective right hand. But from the seventh round on, Dupas, No. 1 contender for Bud Smith's lightweight crown, began to score repeatedly at long range.

He cut DeMarco's right eyebrow, which spurted blood until the end of the. fight and seemed to hamper the battler. Dupas weighed l38Vi, DeMarco 140.
