The jms would be true regarding the ptional League. But we thought |e players designated to open for le NL in the first all-star game in lashington this week more repra [ntative than those chosen for the Wj. |We think, for example, the virtu- I blindness—was it color?—to fenny Jimenez, Kansas City Ath lics* rookie—was a rank injus H ce. rnenzes was only leading the lea |e hi hatting.

Some tell us that the | main reason the Twins are such an I improved ball club this year is be j cause Power has welded the in | field. Meanwhile, Vic has been hav i inn a good season at the plate. It's no secret that Vic is not well I liked by most AL players. So it | was no surprising that he wasn’t i rate one-two in the balloting Wc were sorry to see Manager Ralnh Houk, of the New York Yan kees. ignore Earl Wilson, of the Boston Club, in making his pitching choices for the AL team, Wilson, author of one of three major lea gue no-hitters this year, is current ly one of the loop's hottest hurlers. No doubt if any of these players would have been chosen rhei e would havp been beefs from other | quarters As there was. Cleveland management, writers and players felt that Catcher John Ramano de served the nod over Earl Battey, of the Twins. We emphatically dis agree, of course, since Rattev is patently the best all-round cathcer j in the majors. In fact, we rate Els j ton Howard over Ramano. With Earl behind the bat and Le | on Wagner the starting leftfielder, 1 this marked the first time in the jgroes attending that game down; 1 . to less than three hundred. It is 5 1 estimated that under normal cir- j ijcumstances the crowd would have! ■; been increased by at least 15.000 • : had Negroes attended, as usual. ; 1 1 This writer, who was one of the : j instigators of the boycott idea, > i was approached by an official high |: l in the league who admitted that, ' ; the pressure applied in Los An : geles wge the final straw which j made Marshall relent. He asked at! ■ | that time that we abstain from! ■ | putting further pressure on Mar-1 . shall on the grounds that such I ■.action would “make him mad.” I • i told this official that we did not : ;: care how mad Marshall became;!: 1 we were going to continue to fight jl him until he either got out olli • history of the game that two tan ! players have started for the AL. : Wagner, of course, rated the nod j because he was leading the AL | with home runs (24 as of last i Thursday, with Los Angelos in first I place). Again it was an all-tan outfield : for the NL representatives. The ! player of the generation, Willie | Mays, was in center field He was ! flanked by the third-year star of the I.os Angeles Dodgers, Tommy Davis, and last year league batting i champion. Roberto Clemente, of the j Pittsburgh Pirates, in left and right | respectively. Davis was both the NL leader I >n batting and RBI ra dappears in j solid contention, as of this moment, | in the race for the league's most | valuable performer. We would argue against the fail ure of the players to pick Maury Wills for shortstop over Dick Groat, of the Pirates We think Wills’ | bases-theft record and his ability to outfield Groat, plus his hitting l above the 270 mark, made him the I better choice. But why argue? Fifeen years ap.o ! we didn't have a single player real- I ly to root for in the game. That was j Jackie Robinson's first season in | the majors. He didn't make it '.in- I til 1949—and we haven't been with ! out one of our boys since. ; football or hired Negroes on his ! team. One Los Angeles sports writer, i Melvin Durslag, said that Mar shall was not. a bigot but an "ec centric.” I told him that I was tired of having my posterior end massaged by the feet of eccer tides, i Durslag said that Marshall was , the type of person who, after he j once hired Negro players would be I trying to sell the world on the !idea that he thought up the plan of bringing Negroes into pro foot ball in the first place. Now Marshall is in Los Angeles ! boasting about his Negro stars, a mong whom are Bobby Mitchell, ! former Cleveland All-League half back, and John Nisby, who played in the Pro Bowl three times as an Players Figure Heavily In National League’s All - Star Win Wills Mays, Clemente Top Stars WASHINGTON <ANP> The tan quartet of Maury Wills, Willie Mays. Roberto Clemente and Jtian Marichal figured prominently in the 3 to 1 victory by the National Leagup over the American Leagu" in the 32nd annual All-Star base ball game viewd by 43.430 fans, in cluding President Kennedy, In the District of Columbia's markling new stadium here last Tuesdav. I.Tuly 10). The four heroes joined such oth er .stars as the veteran Stan Muslal and shortstop Dirk Groat in con tributing toward the victory, the fourth straight for the Naional Lea guers in All-Star play The AL has not won an All-Star game since 1939. In all. a total of 10 Negro plavers say action on the two squads, re presenting the best players in both leagues. They included Mays, Mar ichal Orlando Ceoeda and Felip Ainu of the San Francisco Giants: Wills and Tommv Davis of the I ns Angelos Dodgers: Clemente, of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Ernie Banks cf the Chicago Cubs, from the NL. Tan stars from the AL were catcher Earl Battey of the Minne apolis Twins and outfielder Leon Wagner of the Los Angeles Angels. Both went hitless in the game, al though Battey came through with some fine defensive work behind the plate. Adroit base running by the elu sive Wills, who leads the majors in stolen bases with 46. figured in two of the three runs for the senior loop, which has been praised for its wise utilization of Negro play ers. Running for the amazing Musial, who had smacked a single in the sixth inning for his 20th hit in All- Star competition. Wills treated the crowd to a dazzling display of base running. With the cagey Dick Groat at bat, Maury took off for second base and the second pitch by Ca milo Pascual and made it safely in a cloud of dust Groat, who had thrown his bat at a bad pitch to protect Wills on the play, then ■singled Maury home for the NL first tally. Again in the eighth. Wills put his speed on display. Dropping a single into short left centerfield, Maury kept on going and thus tricked out fielder Rocky Colavito to throw to second. As th° latter fired the ball to second. Wills dashed for third and made it head-first Jim Daven port then singled him home with a single to left, and the NL had its third and final run. The National Leaguers had scored their second run on successive singles by Groat 'after Wills theft) and Clemente, and ari infield tap by Cepeda Mays came tip with two of his patented defensive gems in center field. in addition to stealing third base in the fourth inning. His first catch came on a 400-foot drive to centerfield by Roger Maris in the fourth inning. The same Maris clouted another 400-foot drive that carried higher and looked dang erous in the sixth inning. But Wil iie again raced back, leaped up and slabbed the ball with his gloves for the out. He received a tremendous ovation as he returned to the dug out. Clemente was the hitting star of the game, collecting three-for-three including the NX's only double in the first inning. Roberto' sother hits came in the fourth and sixth inn ings. Marichal was the winning pitch er. The Giants righthander thus captured his first All-Star victory, as he teamed with starting pitcher Don Drysdale of the Dodgers in al j lowing the American Leagues only J one nit through the first five inn ings. Despite their failure to deliver for distance (Mays missed a home run by about three feet), the Na tional Leaguers looked superior, both at the plate and in the field. The AL, incidentally, has been c, i icized by former Dodger star Jackie Robinson for bypassing Negro play ers. Trie league, Robinson said, is not only weaker, but is paying for its short sightedness, since all the top Negro players are in the NL After the game. ex-Yankee man ager Casey Stengel, whose own New York Met? team is loaded with tan players, singled out Wills for priase. Casey calls Maury “the most amazing slider I ever saw". He said Wills has a twisting, snake-move that made him hard to tag. NL manager Fred Hutchinson a greed with Casey that Wills was tlie key man in the victory, "Wills’ base running made tthe difference," Hutch said. But AL manager Ralph Houk of the New York Yankees also paid due respee to Mays for his two fine catches. “Willie catches it and that's it," he said of Willie’s grab of Ma ris' second wallop, offensive starter at guard tor the JJgjjjt, ‘‘A real sleeper" for the Red Skins this year will be Leroy Jack son, a rookie halfback, who was the first draft choice of Cleve land’s Paul Brown last year. Brown told, this writer at the Na tional League draft meeting that he planned, to play Jackson as a flankesMtefe Ijioause of his tre mendous spmtiS wsft tß**t hands.

The deep holes in the river were full of grayling, rough, tough, sonsofguns that, wore extremely reluctant to leave their Arctic home. We took them on light flyrods, casting Black Gnats to the upstream end of the pools, then letting the flies roll with the current, giving them a slight twitch i ever so often. To tell yon the truth, grayling were fighting each other for a chance to snap up our flies. We saved about » dozen for a shore luheh and re leased the others as we took the m, silvery •• blue beauties that never stopped fighting, from the strike to tihe net. And when fried, about an hour later, and eaten with fried potatoes and a can of cold beans, they were delicious.
