OV Archie Still Seeks KO Record BEATING THE GUN By BILL BROWER BALTIMORE (ANP) Thine were no truly shining tan heroes of the 2.5th annual msjo> league all star game, as Willie Mays was in Washington two years ago and Min nie ,Vlirioso was in St. Louis last year Bui our representative who saw action—May a, Henry Aa ron and Ernie Banks—acquitt ed themselves well, even though the real heroics were missing. Slays, regarded a* baseball'* best pliver, came closest to gaining the laurels Had the National League held onto its edge, he conceivably could have emerged as one of the stand outs. SCORING WILLIE'S SPEED STARTS Willie’s speed was a prime factor '.n two NI, runs. He opened the game with an infield hit off the American league's Bob Turley of the New York Yankees. The San Francisco Giants' outfielder hurried io thiid on a single to right bv Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals, and scored on a sacrifice fly by Milwaukee's Aaron. HK !i<" t time ai hat. White reached first on a fielder’s choice to bilk tin attemtped double play. Then. May* did what almost everyone In the 49,(109 In Baltimore’s Memorial stadium expected He broke for second, Inducing catcher Gus Triando* to throw wildly into center field. Willie got np ar.d scampered on to third From there, he scored his second run of the game. Mays did nothing sensationally after ihat. He handled all his chances without an erorr. But there was no doubt that the big crowd expected him to come through with a big hit in his last two times ; t bat Unfortunately. Willie didn't end the NL lost. 4-3. Like Mays. Aaron and Banks played the entire game Aaron had c walk end a sacrifice fly. He also hit a 390-foot drive to deep center, a drive caught by the Yankees Mickey Mantle Bank* went bit lass, striking out once. He mad an error in the first 'uning that led to a run later. But later, he got NL pitchers out of trouble by starting two fast double plays OTHERS DIDN'T SEE ACTION Three oilier tan players—NT/s Johnny Roseboro, catcher. Los An geles Dodgers, and George Crowe, first baseman. Cincinnati Redlegs. rid Flsion Howard. Yankees -- saw no action. Banks, Aaron and Mays are old hands at the mid urnmer classic but this was the first appearance for Crowe, Rose boro and Hdward Had a righthander been on the mound for the AI. In the fi nal three innings Crowe per haps would have seen action as a pinch hitter. Roseboro. In onlv his second season with the Dodgers s!«o might have seen some action. Since 1949 tan slurs have beep fixtures in the all star game The ice was broken, of course by Jackie Robinson and Roy Campanula Larry Dobv made his first appear ance in 1950.
