Aug. 1, 1959 MUST PLAY BALL WITH NEW LEAGUE Sports, Round By HANK HOLLINGWORTH- Executive Sports Editor Second All-Star Classic Defended Hank Hollingworth is on vacation. Guest columnists are filling this space until his return. Today's return columnist is Red Patterson, Dodger official.) By RED PATTERSON Dodger Public Relations Director I appreciate the chance to take another crack at guest-writing for Hank -with Bob Kelley's permission, of course because I'd like to get over an important point of view about the coming All-Star Game Monday afternoon in the Coliseum.

It is my fervent hope that will fail to thrill to the timers Day, or the Classic between the American and For this reason, I was more than slightly disturbed not so ago to read' a yarn in the Independent by my old New York friend, Harry Grayson, decrying the playing of TWO All-Star Games in one season. Matter of fact, Brother Harry was not alone in his plaintive wail on this subject. During the All-Star Game in Pittsburgh I made most of the haunts where writers gathered for the first game and, while I saw typewriting folks from such distant points as Los Angeles and Long Beach, not to mention San Francisco, Texas, the Deep South, Canada and Cuba, I did not run into friend Harry. I never grow so blase that World Series; any Oldwhich is an 1 All-Star game National Leagues. TED WILLIAMS His Swan Song? But to be serious, what is wrong with a couple of AllStar Games each -one in the East, one in the West? The major leagues are really national in scope now and why not show off the best there is to be shown in a few places? Of course, television does a right fine job of getting an event around but, with all its magic, it never will serve as the complete substitute for actual attendance at a sporting event.

It can be right difficult to try to get feel of a ball park when your wife insists on running the clothes dryer at the same time the winning rally is on. Even if she's a fan, herself, and does not sin in that fashion, joining the throng in the roar for the hit or the groan for a rallysnuffing double play are all part of being a real baseball fan. (And you do sound a little: silly in the parlor when you let out an old-fashioned war whoop for the home side or berate the umpire on a bad call.) SO IT'S MY HOPE that, in addition to the millions who will see the second game on television, including Brother Grayson, I'm hoping Los Angeles, Long Beach and environs once again jampack the Coliseum for Monday's thriller when Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron and Eddie Mathews and Harmon Killebrew, Don Drysdale, Early Wynn and Long Beach's Bud Daley and many others put their talents on the line. If the American League should win this time and if that leaves them with no cleancut decision, I'm sure someone. will, hook, something approaching the, All-Star.

Game. Do a This would be the exhibition -of. all-time. WHEN THEY PLAY the All-Star Game at the Coliseum, we'll all be rooting for the National League-won't we? But even if we do, wouldn't it be truly nice if Ted Williams, the famous American League slugger, should do something dramatic? This could very well be the swan song of Ted and his National League counterpart, Stan' Musial. They didn't make the All-Star squads this year on their '59 records.

They made it on a baseball lifetime of achievement and because the Messrs. Stengel and Haney are just a couple of sentimental old geezers (unlike most bankers) who thought no 'All-Star Classic would be complete without them. Both had one-shot chances at Pittsburgh. Musial: popped up and Williams walked and immediately was replaced by a runner. Here's hoping that both have the op; portunity to find the spotlight again Monday.

It couldn't happen to a better pair of ball players. L.B. Advances to Finals in Area Pony Playoffs Long Beach advanced to the finals of the Pony League Area Four playoffs at Ontario Friday as Jack Wells allowed just one hit in posting 7-2 triumph over Manhattan, Beach. Wells' 'struck out nine, walked two, and the only off him was a blooper single in the second inning which drove in both the losers' runs. Chuck Williamson, with a two-run homer, and Marvin Zolna with two hits and two walks, led Long Beach at the plate.

Loes, attempting to save his 16th game of the year for the Birds, replaced starter Arnold Portocarrero in the seventh inning after an unearned run' had given Baltimore 4-3 lead. Loes hurled a hitless 'seventh. But in the eighth, wildness led to Loes' fourth defeat and the Orioles' ninth in 12 games on this western trip. In the rally, the Tribe loaded Strickland's the bases on George single and walks to Jim Baxes and pinch-hitter Elmer Valo.

Jack Harshman, pinch-batting for winning pitcher Jim Perry, also walked, forcing in Strickland, and Billy sacrifice fly scored Baxes with the decisive run.

IOC chancellor Otto Mayer called a special session of the executive committee in October for consideration of a proposal by IOC president Avery Brundage of Chicago to readmit the Chinese Na: tionalists under a new name: Mayer, said Brundage will, formally propose recognizing the Nationalists as "The Olympic Committee of the Republic of China." Mayer said the eight-mem-washington ber executive committee was almost certain to approve the committee's readmission. The committee's recommendation would then be put before the full IOC session at San Francisco in February for final acAtion.

before ending its inquiry. Shea said he was disturbed by some statements of baseball men casting doubt on their enthusiasm for the new league. But he said commissioner Ford C.

The hard-pressed Sox, still one game ahead of the Cleveland Indians, collected on leach of the Washington errors managed to squeeze their seven runs out of only nine hits. It was the Sox' third straight win and their eighth in the last nine games, but marked only the first time since July 14, when they beat Boston, 7-3, that Chicago had won by more than three runs.

Shea said "ready access" to the large pool of players controlled by the American and National leagues was a prime goal of the new league. He said it was hoped there would be agreement without need for help from Congress.

The Reds came from behind to set up an early lead, but that fell apart in the ninth -inning off Redleg reliever Jim Brosnan. Powers stepped 'in to bat for Brosnan, who took his fourth victory. 'The early two-run Cincinnati lead had evaporated in the ninth when Bobby Thomson singled and George Altman socked his fifth homer. Brosnan had taken over in the eighth inning when an old roin muscle injury flared up and forced starter Don Newcombe to retire.

Newk had scattered early Chicago hitting while the Reds came from behind a 4-2 advantage, mainly via tht three-run fifth inning. Two singles and Al Dark's fumble had loaded the bases with Redlegs and a walk to Newk brought in one run. Johnny Temple singled in two more.

Johnson's warning against foot-dragging by "baseball dictators" brought a sharp rejoinder from Rickey, veteran of more than half a century in the game. Rickey said Johnson was "unfairly maligning some very great sportsmen." He said opposition to the new league was "unthinkable." Although Johnson and Rickey disagreed about baseball owners, they were together on the question of finding players for the new league. Some critics have said there won't be enough good players to man three major leagues. Johnson said the same argument was advanced in 1901 when the American League was founded. Noting that the growing population is bound to provide more sports talent, Johnson said "Don't sell America short unless your head is the right size for a duncecap."
