TIGER PITCHER Mickey Lolich summed up the feelings of most American Leaguers when he said, "Yeah, I'm looking forward to the game because it's here. "I can spend Monday with my family and then drive downtown Tuesday for the game. But if it was going to be played in Houston or someplace like that where I'd have to fly out on Monday and fly back on Wednesday, I don't think I'd care to go." ing in the All-Star Game as paying their dues to the pension fund. TO ACCOMMODATE the players and permit them to waste as little of their precious three days off as possible, both leagues have cancelled their customary workouts the day before the game this year.

Most of the All-Stars won't show up In town until sometime Tuesday afternoon. The pitchers and catchers will get together In the clubhouse and agree on a few basic signs, and then, if Curt Gowdy is ready, Frank Umont will yell: "Play Ball!

It's been eight years now since the American League won one of these games ever since the format returned to one a year. But you don't see anybody demanding Oronin's head on a silver platter.

But let them lost eight straight World Series and wow! As Earl Weaver, who manages the American League All-Stars when he isn't busy steering the Baltimore Orioles to another pennant, and who definitely does want to win Tuesday night pointed out: 'Nothing in baseball compares with the World Series, or even the playoffs, for that matter.

Jl moss yiH ON THE ALL-STAR fW P0CKET I I 1 RADIO Continued from First Sports The 10th inning seemed so innocent. Reliefer Tom Tim-merman retired the first two batters before McCraw lined a triple over Jim Northrup's head in left. It might have been only a double, except the ball took a tricky hop off the fence and Northrup had trouble picking it up. "The minute I saw It bounce away I was off to third," McCraw said In the Washington clubhouse.

Now it was a moment for managing. Billy Martin ordered Timmcrman to walk Frank Howard. No sense in him knocking one off the Washington Monument. Martin also told Timmer- Wayne Walker Golf Duo Hits LEWISTON Detroit Lion linebacker Wayne Walker and Dr. Dick Henderson of Farm-Ington teamed to win the fifth annual Garland Open at Garland Golf Club here Sunday.

They teamed for a four-under-par 68 in the handicapped bestball event. Runnersup were Fred Bur-nard of Troy and Charles Crud-gington of Farmington at 71. Or as All-Star catcher Bill Freehan put It: "Ballplayers just don't think about the All-Star Game that much." The fans they're the only ones who really care. They sit and think and dream and argue all year of Vida Blue slipping his blazer past Hank Aaron of Willie Stargell catching one of Mike Cuellar's slow curves and making splinters out of the outfield fence.

HERE, NELSON hit his high bouncer to Brinkman and the whole scene seemed to become frozen like in one of those nightmares when everything moves in slow motion. Bounce, bounce, bounce the ball hopped out to Brink-man like a soggy peach.

He fielded it cleanly and made a crsip throw to second. It wasn't even close to getting Maddox. The former Tiger ran off the field in a wild kind of war dance, as if a pennant, a war, or something had been won. Later, Maddox grinned and said: "I think Brinkman was surprised to see me there." Martin tried to sweep this series with Dean Chance as his starter. Deano tried it for the 13th time as a starter and failed to finish for the 13th time.

He left trailing, 3-0, with rookie Len Randle knocking in two of the Washington runs with a double and a sacrifice fly. Reliefer Denny Rlddleber-ger, pitching to just one batter, was the winner. The Senators have at least one Denny with the winning touch. p.m. Torre (St.
