NEW YORK (IP) Sports are designed for happy mo
ments but they have their sad ones, too, and the past
week brought more than its share of sorrow to the sports
world.
Four of the men who dedicated their lives to athlet
ics took the long count within a span of almost that many
days. Two of them, Dan Morgan and Jerry Hoyt, made
the headMpes and the other two, Arch Ward and Harold
Burr, wrote them.
They’ll be missed, along with the unusually large
number of others who preceded them this year.
“Dum Dan” Morgan may be the best known of them
, J because he was around the longest and spoke more words,
probably, than all the rest of them put together,. His nick
name was one of those characteristic misnomers of the
fight game because the glib little octogenarian could talk
faster than his horses ever ran and better than any of his
fighters ever fought.
Hoyt Had “Class”
Hoyt was only 26, a race driver with a brilliant future
as auto racing futures go. As they say in the pits, he had
“class,” until he wrapped his car around him at Okla
homa City the other day.
Ward was one of the best known sports editors in the
country. I was his imagination which produced the All-
Star baseball and football games which annually are high
lights of the year. When he died of a heart ailment at 56
the Chicago Tribune wasn’t the only loser.
Burr, who succumbed at 71, still outlasted his paper.
That was the now defunct Brooklyn Eagle, for which he
was a leading baseball authority. As he explained just re
cently, “Seeing the Eagle go took something out of me.”
The names of those four greatly lengthened the trag
k ic list for 1955. Already it included such names as those of
" Harry Agganis of the Boston Red Sox, former lightweight
champion Ad Wolgast, writer Hy Turkin, speedboat driv
er Lloyd Maddock and race drivers Bill Vukovich, Manme
Ayulo, Mike and Larry Crockett.
Auto Racing Tragedies
Auto racing is having one of is worst years. Nazaaruk
2nd Crockett were killed,at Langhorne, Pa.; Ayulo in a
practice run for the -Indianapolis 500 and Vukovich dur
ing the running of that race —a day after receiving a let
ter from his daughter telling him to “put your foot
through it, daddy, I need some new dresses.”
Wolgast long had been a patient in a mental hospital.
The man who won the lightweighgt crown from Battling
Nelson succumber at 67.
One of the most sudden tragedies of the year was the
death of Agganis, the“ Golden Greek” of football fame who
had been a rising young star with the Boston Red Sox. On
ly 25, Agganis died of a pulmonary embolism while appar
ently recovering from a chest ailment.
Turkin, of the New Yorfc Daily News, was the author
of the “Encyclopedia of Baseball.” Maddock was killed in
a regatta at Detroit and racing had another fatality when
Margaret Pritchard, a woman driver, was killed a San Di
ego.
Some were more noted than others, but all of them
will be missed.
National League May
Rule All-Star Game
MILWAUKEE, Wis. UP) Thanks
to one sweet swing by Stan The
Man Musial, who wasn't even in
vited to the party, the National
League stood at last today within
sight of its long-cherished goal
rule of the All-Star game.
The dramatic 6-5 triumph pro
duced by Musial’s mighty wallop
in the 12th inning of the “dream
game" at County Stadium Tues
day now has cut the American
League’s lead in this annual ser
ies to just 13 games to nine.
That’s a far cry from just six
years ago when the Americans led
by 12-4 and • National League
comeback seemed a mighty dis
mal hope indeed.
Now Musial’s dramatic blast in
to the right-field stands, on a “too
high” pitch by Frank Sullivan of
the Boston Red Sox, has extended
the National League surge to five
victories in the last six games and
given “senior” Circuit officials hope
they will even the series In the
years just ahead.
But come what may in the fut
ure, the 1965 All-Star classic goes
into Ute history books as “Stan's
Game.”

Passed Up By Fans
Passed up by the fans, who vot
ed Ted Kluszxewski of Cincinnati
into the role of starting first base
man for the National League in
stead of Stan, the St. Louis Car
dinal star was rushed into the
game as a substitute outfielder
and wound up by smashing three
big All-Star records.
For one, he became the first
player to appear in 12 All-Star
games.
For another his h«mer was his
fourth breaking the All-Star rec
ord of three he had shared with
Ted Williams.
And finally his gime - winning
blast also was his 14th All-Star
hit another mark.
Musial’s smash on Sullivan's
first pitch in the last half of the
12th inning, struck like the crack
of doom for an American League
team that had blown a five-run
lead. Sullivan, who said he tried
to throw a fast ball “low and
tight,” admitted the pitch came in
“too high." Musial said he was
sure it was a homer “as soon as
I hit it.”

game in All-Star history. Oddly
enough the first —a i4-inning
affair in 1950 was broken up
by a homer by Bed Schoendienst
Musial’s roommate on the Cardin
als.
There was no hint of such a
wind-up as the game began with
the underdog American Leaguers
ripping into starting pitcher Robin
Roberts of the Phillies for four
luns in the first inning. Harvey
Kuenn and Nellie Fox rapped Rob
erts for singles and Kuenn .scoot
ed home on a wild pitch by control
artist Roberts. Then Manyle fol
lowed with what seemed the "crush
’ er.” a three-run homer over the
402-foot centerfield fence.
The American League boosted
the margin to 5-0 with a sixth in
ning run off Harvey Haddix on
Yogi Berra’s single and A1 Kaline’d
double. It looked like the Ameri
cans were home free instead they?
were washed up.
Conley Gets Win
Don Newcombe of Brooklyn one
inning, Sam Jones of Chicago one I
Joe Nuxhall of Cincinnati three j
and Gene Conley of Milwaukee one j
shut out the American League. The J
rest of the way. Conley, last year’s I
losing pitcher, got the vein this j
time for striking out the side in j
the 11th inning.
Meanwhile, the Natonal League
struck back to tie the score with I
two runs in the seventh and three (
in the eighth all off Whitey Ford I
of the Yankees.
Willie Mays of the Giants touch
ed off both rallies with singles. In
the seventh, he moved to second
on Hank Aaron’s walk and scored
on Johnny Logan’s single. When
Chico Carrasquel booted Stan Lc
pata’s grounder, Aaron scored, too.
to make it. 5-2. In the eighth,
Kluszewski, Ransom Jackson, and
Aaron singled behind Mays. Jack
son took third on Aaron's blow and
scored the tying run when outfield
er A1 Kaline’s throw went through
third-baseman A1 Rosen.
That set the stage for “Stan The
Man.”
Musial, named to the squad as
a sub by Manager Leo Durocher
of the Giants, was sent into the
game by Durocher in the fourth
inning in left field. Under All-Star
rules, which require the starte s
to play at least three innings, that
was the soonest Stan could ap
pear
Durocher couldn't haw made a
smarter move.
