Wliitcy Ford Surprise A.L. Pitcher For All-Star Game

Dy JAX HAND

OLEVEAND, .(AP) - Whitey Pord. 26-year-old New York Yan- kee lefthsnder. is manager Casey Btengel's surprise pitching choice to start against Philadelphia's Robin Roberts in today's 21st All- Btar baseball game at Municipal Stadium.

Seeking to break s four-game American League losing streak. Btengel drew on his own staff to face the favored National Leag- uers who pack three lefthanded iiluggers-Cincinnati's Ted Klus- sewski, Brooklyn's Duke Snider and St. Louis Stan Musial-in their starting line-up.

With a break from the weather- man who predicts a partly cloudy day with the temperature in the middle 90s.the All-Star attendance record of 69.812, set at Cleveland in 1935. might be broken.

NATIONAL FAVORED

Game time is 1:30 pm. EDT with network radio and television coverage. In case of rain. the game will be played at 8 pm. to- night. If the weather should force other postponements, Commission- er Ford Frick has set aside 11 s.m., 2 pm. or 8 pm. Wednesday

Although the Americans still hold R 12-8 edge in the series, the Nationals home run power makes Manager Walter Alston's team an 8-to-5 choice.

Both clubs are in tough shape .

for pitching after Sunday's heavy doubleheader firing and injuries that cost the Americans the ser- vices of New York's Allie Rey- nolds and Cleveland's Mike Gar- cia.

Stenzel admits he plamied to use Garcia until he got word Sun- da.V that he was unable to pitch.

"I vianted a lefty to get after their lefthanders," Stengel said, Pxplalnllig his choice of Ford who has been erratic in compiling a spotty 7-6 record.

FOLLOWS BOOK

Alston, who got the Job as a freshman manager because Brook- lyn fired Chuck Drassen, the 1953 pennant winner, followed the book in naming Roberts (U-8. a 27. rear-old righthander who started three of the last four National League victories since 1950.

The problem of "where to play Willie Mays" will face Alston st. for three innings. He said he would remove Jackie Robinson of Brooklyn from left field after three. He might shift Snider to rifrht and play Musial in left, leaviniz centrefield open for the

sensstional New York outfielder.

Roy Campanells, the Brooklyn catcher who has been behind the piste for 48 consecutive all-star innings. got a go-ahead from his doctor Monday in Brooklyn. The doctor reassured Campy that a recent numbness following an operation, was only a natural reaction and he soon would be as good as ever.

Casey stengel has never lost a World Series nor won an All Star game. Four times he has managed the American League team in the annual All Star game and four times Casey has seen his team de- leafed.

ll l likely selecting Ford primarily be-

cause he is a southpaw and the National League lineup is loaded with lefthanded power-hitters.

The Nationals are favored in win the game because of their home run power. They have won the last four All Star games but trail in the overall picture 12-8. The an- nual game was started 21 years ago so that the fans might have it chance of seeing the best players in each league in action 8831?-St one another. At first it began as a friendly competition without too much stress being plated on win- ning. Joe McCarthy and his Yan- kees soon changed the picture and concentrated solely on wmnins with the result that the American Lea-gums built up quite a victory streak before the National Leagu- ers found their bearings. Today it is as hotly contested as any league contest.

. . -

Its 20 roars ago that Carl Hub- tiell performed his great pitching feat of striking out Ruth, Gehrig and Jimmy Foxx. 1-lubbell was piti-hing for the National Leagu- ers. The first two American Lea- gucrs had reached base when Hub- bell struck out the big three. He opened the second inning by fan- ning All Simmons and Joe Cronin. Striking out Ruth, Gehrig. Foxx and Cronin in a row is a pita-hind feat that everybody should always appreciate.
