Are two all-star teams better than one? This has been the eternal question in the North Bay Pony Grad league this year a question that has split the league in two and caused much "bad blood" between Santa Cruz and Watsonville leaders. Tonight some of that "bad blood" may be wiped up when the two North Bay all-star clubs collide head first, this evening here in the second game of the District tournament, one of many steps to a World Championship. Game time is 5:30 p.m.

Today's first game pits Redding against Sacramento at 1:30. The Santa Cruz-Watsonville game will be broadcast on radio station KSCO by delayed tape at 6 o'clock. It is expected that Ed Deslail-lats, the Santa Cruz manager, will start Ed Destaillats on the mound. Meanwhile, Watsonville will probably pitch either lefty Don Dit-levsen or Joe Montoya. Both sides have been hurt by injury or illness.

Al McCommon, Santa Cruz outfielder, last week under went an appendectomy. Watsonville catcher Bob Bivins, probably their top hitter, injured a knee in a water skiing accident. If Santa Cruz wins tonight they will play the Redding-Sacramento winner tomorrow at 1:15 p.m. If the locals lose, they will play the loser of today's first game tomorrow morning at 10:15 o'clock. A third game is scheduled tomorrow between the winner of tomorrow morning's game and the loser of tomorrow's second game.

That contest will take place at 5:15 p.m. Lodging Is Needed For LL Tourney Needed housing for 68 youngsters 11 and 12 years old.

If Santa Cruz loses the afternoon game in the six team tourney, it would play again tonight at 9 o'clock against the loser of a game this afternoon between West Valley (Santa Clara) and Carmichael. A win would send them against the West Valley-Car-michacl winner tomorrow afternoon at 12:30 o'clock.

The other tournament participants are Redding and North Marin. Should Santa Cruz lose the first game today and win the second, they would play at 3 o'clock tomorrow against either Redding or North Marin. It is expected that Santa Cruz Manager Kay Pierce will either start Kick Wilkins, Byron Shields or John Pierce in today's first game. Roundup KC Athletics Win Eleventh Straight Game By Ed Wilks AP Sports Writer Where do the Kansas City A's go from here? They've pulled off an incredible jump from the cellar to third place with an 11-game streak, longest in the American league in five years, but can they crack the exclusive, two-club "first division?" The A's, making thei. run in Just 11 days, moved past Baltimore into third by whipping Washington 4-1 Thursday night.

But they trail Chicago's first-place White Sox by 82 games and second-place Cleveland by 7V2 games making up 3Va games on the leaders. The White Sox kept their tough pace with a 3-1 victory over New York, plunking the world champion Yankees 10Vz games behind as Early Wynn (14-6) became the AL's top winner. It was the Sox' 15th victory in 20 games since the All-Star break, when they were second, two games behind Cleveland. The Indians stayed close by beating Boston 4-3 with Minnie Minoso driving in all their runs. Detroit tied New York for fifth by rapping Baltimore 11-2.

In the National league, Los Angeles skidded from first to third, losing 5-4 in 12 innings as Pittsburgh ended its losing string at nine. Milwaukee took second place, hammering four home runs for a 6-2 decision over the Chicago Cubs that gave Warren Spahn his 260th victory. St. Louis beat Cincinnati 1-0 as Bob Gibson pitched an eight-hit shutout in his first major league start. Southpaw Bud Daley, after missing his regular turn because of a leg injury, blanked the Nats on six hits for six innings, then needed Tom Sturdivant's neat relief for a 12-6 record.

That ties the Kansas City record for most victories in one season set by Art Ditmar in 1955 and tied by Ned Garver last year. Portland Sues Major Leagues Portland, Ore. (PC) Baseball's major leagues are a monopoly, the Portland Beavers said Thursday in a U.S. District Court suit that asked, among other things, $1,800,000 damages, a chunk of television money and the breakup of the majors' farm system. The suit well might have been averted, said an official of Portland's Pacific Coast League club.

if the majors had been willing to sit down and talk things over seriously. But now, as the Beavers are faced with dwindling attendance, the suit represents the club's ultimate hope for survival, another official said. In addition to the damages sought, the suit asked the courts to revamp the structure of the majors and whittle their power. Through the suit ran the contention that the majors have violated federal anti-trust laws.

Jarrin' John Kir- by, halfback from Santa Cruz high, takes a handoff from Daryle Lamonica, Clovis, as the North Shrine team drills here for its battle with the South at Scrum For North Eleven Tomorrow Whitticr, July 30 How far the North squad has progressed will be learned tomorrow night when Co-Coaches Larry Siemering and Bill Gott will hold a game-type scrimmage under the arcs here. The scrimmage was scheduled for tonight, but was cancelled because of a rash of minor hurts and listlessness of the squad. "We've been working 'em hard," Siemering told reporters, "so let 'em rest this afternoon." The squad ran plays, practiced punts and points after touchdowns in a two-hour workout in the morning. Darvl Lamonica (Clovis) and Len Vaughn (San Francisco Toly) still limn from ankle sprains. Mon terey's Dick Austin picked up a charley horse in yesterday afternoon's scrimmage and tackle Chet Hinshaw (Chico) was hit in the throat.

Lamonica worked out today, and the remainder are expected to suit-up tomorrow. End Ron Snidow of San Rafael apparently won the punting assignment as he consistently booted the ball 50 yards or more. Three other players, John Kirby (Santa Cruz), Lamonica and Jerry Wolters (Alhambra) also punted well. LeRoy hittle (Berkeley) ana oners impressed observers with their TAT kicking. Yesterday scrimmage was dis appointing to the coaching staff.

Siemering said offensive linemen were consistently missing their blocking assignments. Dick Austin again impressed with his running and turned in the longest run when he galloped 25 yards. Three touchdowns were scored. Whittle scored first on a pass from Jack Sparrow (Novatol. He caught the ball after a 35-yard race downf'veld and then zipped the final 15 yards.

The second came on a Whittle run off right tackle good for 15 yards. Norte Del Rio's Bob Lazark hit paydirt with a 10-yard run off the right tackle hole.

The 190-pound McCovey, bat-ting .377 with the class AAA Pacific Coast League club, left-handed a Roberts low curve for a rifle shot single down the right field line in the first inning.

In the fourth, the Mobile, Negro crashed a Roberts' high fast ball to the centerfield scoreboard for a triple and scored the Giants' second run on an error at the plate. In the fifth, the new Giant first sacker bounced a Roberts' fast ball so hard off the right field wall 340 feet away that he had to settle for a single although it scored Mays. On his fourth time up in the seventh, he ripped an outside fast ball for a triple to score Mays who had doubled. Afield in Seals Stadium, where ocean breezes do tricks to fly balls, McCovey handled three pop flies expertly and was on the end of a double play. "It was the greatest thrill of my life," grinned McCovey as he slumped his weary body on a dressing room bench.

McCovey's performances appeared to key up the other Giants. The last place Phillies had knocked the Giants out of the National League lead. Mays, who had fallen below .300, banged out two hits and walked in five times. Orlando Cepeda, the Giants' Rookie of the Year 1958 and recent all-star game ace, was shifted from first to third to make room for McCovey. Third sacker Jim Davenport was benched.

Wednesday night McCovey had played at Phoenix. Just before he left the ball park, he got a telephone call to rush to San Francisco along with another Phoenix sensation, infielder Jose Pagan. The Giants sent shortstop Andre Rodgers to Phoenix in the trade. They also first planned to send Felipe Alou but changed their minds. "I'd always hoped I'd get to play in the majors," McCovey said, "but I didn't expect to come up in the middle oi the season." When he voiced the opinion that Roberts didn't look much tougher than some of the Pacific Coast League pitchers he had faced, Kirkland leaned over and warned: "You'd better just say you were lucky today." McCovey's white teeth blazed like a searchlight in the dark.

Today, somebody said, he's facing Pittsburgh's Harvey Haddix.

EXCLUSIVE SALON SHOWING OF THE WORLD'S MOST NCOMPARABLE MOTOR CARS, By Arnold Wechter Whitticr, July 29 Larry Siemering, the old pro from up Santa Cruz way, is sporting a big grin this afternoon. The happy facial expression was brought about by two sharp work outs which saw the North squad start jelling as a unit.

Siemering and his co-mentor, Bill Gott, put their charges through their stiffest workout yesterday with a 1 Ms -hour scrimmage' which saw the offensive unit perform in impressive style as it punched over five touchdowns. This morning's practice was devoted to pass defense. Another reason for happiness was the return of H'ally Hicks to the fold. Hicks, the all-north state tackle from Santa Cruz, suffered a bruised knee Monday night, but a doctor's examination showed no damage and the swelling disappeared yesterday. He worked out today.

The running and passing game appeared extremely sharp in yesterday's scrum. John Kirby ran like an enraged bull as he tore off several good gains, while Mick Doherty, LeRoy Whittle and Gary Casey had their moments. The passing of John Sparrow and Daryl Lamonica led to three of the five touchdowns scored bv the offensive unit. Lamonica. the Clovis beauty, lofted a nifty 35 yarder to Whittle which saw the Berkeley speedster outrun the secondary, while Sparrow hit Whittle for 20 yards, and a short two-yarder to Tom Fetherston for scores.

Bob Lazark scored on a dive play over right tackle which covered four yards, and Casey turned in a slick 12-yarder around left end. Siemering and Gott made some changes in their original plans as they moved Chico's Chet Hinshaw from defensive tackle to offensive guard.
