"I don't think the ball is Red Sox Tip Yanks; Gain First Place Native Sons Red Sox took revenge on the Elk Yankees, 2 0, in the American League yesterday at the Encinal street diamond. The Sox evened a defeat suffered at the hands of the Yanks in their last meeting. Don McDuffee scattered five hits, not allowing the losers two in any inning. The Sox bunched two hits in the second for a run and did likewise in the third inning. Don Gerig and McDuffee led the attack, Gerig getting a double and McDuffee a pair of hits.

Loser Al McCommon and McDuffee had a fine pitching duel working and both boys struck out 13. In the National league, the eel lar-dwelling Moose Dodgers edged up a notch as they skimme'd by the 20-30 Cardinals, 2-1. It was close all the way and the winners had to score two runs in the bottom of the last inning to take the game. The Cards produced their score in the first and were protecting that margin going into the fatal sixth. They also collected a pair of hits in the second but couldn't capitalize on them.

McCommon 13. Machen Is Liked Over Valdes On TV Tonight Miami Beach, Fla. W. Young Eddie Machen of Redding, ruled a slight favorite to keep his per fect record intact when he faces Nino Valdes of Cuba in a nationally televised heavyweight fight at the auditorium tonight. Machen has won 14 in a row and scored 11 knockouts in his brief but brilliant career and probably will be 7-5 favorite by fight time.

He'll be going after his second straight over the 31-year-old Valdes, who apparently reached his peak August 11, in the same ring when he beat Ezzard Charles. Valdes. who started fighting in 1941 in his native Cuba, has had 52 bouts, winning 26 by knockouts and losing 12. Besides Charles his victims include James J. Parker, Archie McBride, Hurricane Jackson and Don Cockell.

lie belted out Cockell in three rounds and put Jackson away in two. Last year he lost to Archie Moore, Boh Satterfield and Bob Baker but recently stopped Mike Hammer. Bobby dlcason, who manages Valdes and predicted a knockout victory for him, said if the Cuban loses and isn't impressive, he will ask the onetime top contender to quit the ring.

"Fellows like Ernie Banks of the Chicago Cubs use a 31-ounce, 35-inch bat. And Stan Musial ot the Cardinals gets down to 30-31 ounces. They really can whip that bat around. It doesn't work for me. I have to overpower it.

I can't gef more speed with a lighter bat although I use a 34-ounce bat now." Banks agrees with Kluszewski although he also thinks the ball is livelied. "When I first came up I used a 35-ounce bat," he said. "Late in the season when I got a little tired I switched to a lighter bat after talking to Ralph Kin-er. Now I use a 31-ounce all the time." Hank Bauer goes along with the bat theory, adding "the ball seems livelier, too." Bauer said Mickey Mantle, his teammate, is using his 32-ounce bat as compared to the 34-35 ounce bat he used in the past. "The hitters get a better whip with lighter bats," said Bauer.

"And the bats seem to be made better, too." One of the smallest bats used in the majors is the 28-ounre-31-inch stick swung by Solly Ilemus of the Phillies. Little Solly also hones down the handle to make it even thinner. Granny Hammer of the Phils also is in the 28-ounce class. The contrast between the modern bat and the old models is shown bv the old timer bat display that the Louisville Slugger people maintain. Babe Ruth, for instance, once ordered a 51-ounce bat and never (lipped below 40 ounces until the tail end of his career.

Ty Cobb used a 4'2-ounce club and "Home Run" Baker swung a 47-ounce club. Honus Wagner used a 38-ounre bat as did Ed Delahanty and Rogers Horns-by. Cap Anson in the old days swung a 44-ounce bludgeon and Heinie Groh's famous "bottle bat" was 42 ounces, 33 inches. The Louisville people have models at their factory with the present lay average about 34' 2 ounces, 35 inches. Hal Schumacher, former New York Giant -pitching ace, is in the bat business as vice president of the Adirondack Bat company at Dolgeville, N.Y.

Hal has some very positive ideas about the value of whip action in a bat. On a recent trip to his factory, Schumacher set up a testing machine that measured the whip in a bat. By actual measurements, before and after, a bat was bent 4'i inches without breaking. Some high speed cameras can record a fraction of this whip in a bat at the moment of impact with, the ball. Incidentally, it Is a long involved practice by which a log of northern white ash is split, turned, weighed, bleached, filled, coated and finally stamped ith a trade mark.

The Adirondack factory turns about one million bats a year, many of them for the Little League, Softball and playground baseball business. The importance of whip in a bat is illustrated by the vast changes in golf clubs from the old rigid shafts to the present day models with the swing and sway style. Lack of whip was one criticism of the laminated bat. According to the rule book "a bat shall be a smooth, round-ed stick, not more than inches in diameter at the thickest part and not more than 42 inches in length." There is no weight limit. The manufacturers claim the most difficult part of their job is to get a good solid wood into a light weighted bat.

Their basic rule for a good bat is "an ounce to an inch." You can see their problem when TIemus, for instance, wants a 28-ounce 34-inch bat. Some batters insist on a bat with a knot hole at the end on the theory that it provides a more solid hitting surface. Some hitters positively will not take a bat with a knot. They call the "sweet snot" the section about three inches from the end. Tomorrow: ter.

Alston, who directed the winning National league All-Stars, praised the six Cincinnati players in action, five in the starting lineup. Noting that three first baseman Ted Kluszewski, shortstop Roy McMillan and second baseman Johnny Temple accounted for six of the National's 11 hits, scoring three runs and driving in two more, he said meaningfully: "Their performance here should help them the rest of the season." Kluszewski had two doubles In two times at bat and drove in a run.

Temple had two hits, one RBI and a stolen base, and McMillan had two singles. In addition. Temple and McMillan executed the only double play of the game ta snuff out the biggest threat. "I'm proud of my guys." said Tebbetts, the Nationals' first base coach. "A lot of wise-guys snickered when all those men of mine were voted to the All-Stars.

After what they did, we don't have to apologize to anybody. This was good experience for my players. It should give them the confidence they need for the second half of the race." Except for third baseman Ken Boyer of the Cardinals, one of the stars of the game, only McMillan and Temple played throughout for the Nationals. Alston employed 17 players as compared with 21 used by Casey Stengel of the Americans. As Alston saw it.

the key hit in the game that produced the Nationals' sixth victory in the last seven games, and their 10th in the series of 23, was the homer by Willie Mays, a bench warmer until the fourth inning. The Nationals held a slim 1-0 lead when Mays came up to bat for Gus Bell after Boyer had slashed the second of his three straight singles. Left-hander Whitey Ford of the Yankees was on the mound, having replaced starter Billy Pierce of the White Sox at the beginning of the inning. Pierce and Bob Friend had waged a fine pitching duel for three innings, Billy yielding the only run that far in the third. Mays missed the first pitch, then walloped a 400-foot home run hilfwav up the left-center bleachers at Griffith Stadium to give the Nationals a 3 0 bulge.

The Americans never caught up, although Ted Williams' two-run circuit blow In the sixth, immediately followed by Mickey Mantle's homer, cut the winners' margin to 5-3. The Nationals had tallied-single runs in the fifth and sixth. "Mays' pinch homer was the turning point," said Alston. "It gave us a comfortable lead and put them on the defensive. After that it was just a matter of getting good pitching from everybody.

"In addition to Mays' hit, I'd fay Boyer's fine play at third and the strong pitching throughout were the key factors in our victory'. I'm not taking anything away from the other fellows. They all played splendidly." One of the "other fellows" was Stan Musial, who accounted for the sixth run with a seventh-inning homer, his fifth in 13 All-Star games. The great Cardinal outfielder regained the record for most home runs in All-Star competition an inning after Williams had tied his mark by hitting his fourth home run in 12 All-Star appearances. Musial narrowly avoided serious injury in the eighth inning when he was kicked in the thigh by teammate Boyer as they both went for a short fly by Williams.

He said it didn't hurt, but Alston played it safe and took him out. Another mishap occurred in the sixth inning when a foul tip by Kluszewski caught Yogi Berra on the throwing hand. Berra was taken out for a pinch hitter in the last half of the sixth and reported the hand "hurt some" but said the injury was not serious. Mantle, obviously hampered by the cast on his injured right knee, played the entire game and reported no ill effects. He had had no chances at all in center field and struck out three times.

PatMcCormack Starts Work On Olympic Trials Long Beach Ml. Blonde Pat McCormick, the greatest diver, male or female, on record, starts right in again today on a rigorous training schedule leading to the Olympic trials in Detroit August 7-10. The 26-year-old mother return ed home in triumph yesterday from Texas where she won the 1, 3 and 10-meter diving events in the National AAU outdoor events. These gave her a total of 27 national titles, to say nothing of two gold medals in the 1952 Olym pics and three Pan-American games titles. In 1948 Juno Stover edged her out for the Olympic team by a point fraction.

Since then Pat has been virtually invincible. One would think she might rest a bit before beginning hat she has said will be her last campaign. She plans to retire after this year's Olympics. She appears to be a cinch to make the trip to Melbourne. But Pat said: "I wouldn't make the team if I didn't undergo a strenuous work schedule.

Our plans call for six hours of work daily for the next three weeks." "Out" means herself and her husband, Glenn McCormick, diving coach of the Los Angeles Athletic club and a pilot for United Air Lines. "If I'm lucky enough to make the team I will take a couple of weeks rest and then start in all over again for the big push," Pat said. "It's always a great thrill to win, especially if you perform well. But I must channel my interests, and at this time that means my husband and our 4-month old baby boy. We hope to augment the family considerably; three at least, and five if we can afford it." Pat thinks Glenn is the greatest "not just because he's my husband, but if I didn't have Glenn I wouldn't have anything." Pat, who is 5 feet-4 and weighs 128.

started diving at 16 at Wilson high school here in 1946. She won her first national honor in 1949, and swept the indoor and outdoor boards in 11153 Viol ivinl the 1952 Olympics. She has been defeated only twice since, by Paula Jean Myers in the platform dive in and by Juno Stover Irwin last jxar. Public Field lb VI rtscREs MONDAY SCRATCH TRIO (Santa Cruz Howl) FANs (3) M.
