6 2. (AP Wirrphoto via radio from Bv Will Grimsley AP Sports Writer New York (AP) Hank Aaron. Milwaukee's slugging outfielder, set a baseball precedent Saturday when he became first player ever to bo chosen unanimously for the major leaeue All-Star pamo. Commissioner Ford Frirk made the announcement in releasing the opening lineups as picked by thep layers themselves for the attraction at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh July 7. The same teams, with the addition of three players to each, will also meet in the second 1959 All Star game Monday, August 3, at I.os Angeles.

Aaron, receiving a maximum 208 votes, was one of three members of the champion Braves named for the National League team. The others were third baseman Ed Mathews and catcher Del Crandall. By contrast, the world champion New York Yankees, who have dominated teams in the past, placed only one man on the American League team. He is Bill SkouTon. first baseman.

Even Mickey Mantle was shunt ed down to the second team as the DoiUjcrs Grab Second Place Los Angeles AP The I.os Angeles Dodgers ran their winning streak to six games Saturday night and moved to within a game of league-leading Milwaukee bv blanking the Pittsburgh Pirates 3 0 before 48,072 Coliseum fans. The victory put the Dodgers In second olace. a full game ahead of San Francisco. Their winning streak is the longest they have achieved since moving from Brooklyn. Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox, who have been battling for first place, each put two men on the AL starting team.

In the early days of the All-Star game the players picked the teams. Later the job was turned over to the fans. When this was found impractical, the voting was returned to the players last year. No pitchers were chosen. This will be left to the rival managers Casey Stengel of the Yankees and Fred Haney of the Braves.

Aaron is one of three repeaters cn the NL team. The others are outfielder Willie Mays of the San Francisco Giants and Ernie Banks, shortstop of the Chicago Cubs. Orlando Cepeda, the Giants' 1958 Rookie of the Year in the National League, made the team for the first time at first base. Also named were Johnny Temple, Cincinnati second baseman, and Wa'Iy Moon, Los Angeles left fielder. Repeaters in the American League were catcher Gus Trian-dos of Baltimore, second baseman Nellie Fox and shortstop Luis An-aricio.

Piisrson Ocmsback IT WAS SAID that Ingemar Johansson has a terrific right. Seeing is believing. Certain to go down as the upset of 1959 (the odds were 4-1 in favor of Floyd Patterson), Friday's championship bout was certainly the most stunning and thrilling fight this writer has ever witnessed, on television or in person.

Johansson moved fairly fast for as big a man as the Swede is and the riht that sent Patterson down was really something. But somewhow, we feel, (and we've heard it said already since the end of the fight), Tatterson will regain the championship. Floyd's a smart, fast boxer. He proved that he is game when he was felled seven times. lie still may be one of the greatest.

Johansson is sort of sneaky. We were just beginning to believe he was scared of Pattersoa when he caught him with that right in the third. MAYBE THE FIGHT proved something, you don't have to train to be a winner. Johansson was taking it easy, enjoying his visa with his fiancee, and Floyd Mas training vigorously.

Gene Conley, 6-foot-8 righthander, held the second-place Giants to six hits in picking up his fifth victory in nine decisions. The Phils belted four San Francisco pitchers for 13 hits.

Conley struck out five, including Willie Kirkland three times. Jones ho pitched only the seventh inning, evened his record at 8-8 by yielding to to homers.

Slivers Frcm The Sidelines NOBODY ASKED, but it looks as if the same thing is happening to the Santa Cruz Merchants softball team that happened to the Santa Cruz Seahawk baseball club. With the forfeiture in the district tournament the other night, the Merchants are apparently heading for a slow death. The player interest is lacking for some reason or another. With recent developments, it looks to us like the Merchants should turn to the softball association. In our opinion, the league officers should Dick an all-star team at the end of the season and the all would play as the Merchants.

We would suggest a full squad of eight by positions, plus two utility infielders. a utility outfielder and three pitchers. The league officers would also be responsible for the naming of the manager. Plus about three alternates..
