American League Defeats National League 6 To 5

B! SACK BAND

ST. LOUIS (AP)-A dying gasp ninth inning rally by the National League fell one run short Tuesday as Casey Stengel's American Leaguaar saved a H vic- tdry in the 24th all-star game. gtengel. battling against the jinx that had seen him lose five of six previous games, changed pitchers wildly in the ninth until Bob Grim. his own New York Yankee bullpen ace. finally closed it out on a dan- gerous iine drive caught by Chi- oagols Minnie Minoso.

Grim took over after Chicago's Billy Pierce had blown most of a comfortable lead and Cleveland's Don Mossi had let the favorites shave the margin to one run.

With Ernie Banks of Chicago Cubs on second base representing the tying run. manager Walter Al- ston called upon his own Brooklyn

clutch hitter. Gil Hodges. as a pl

pinch hitter.

Grim threw a ball to Hodges and then came in with the next pitch. Hodges ripped a low liner to left that sounded like bad news for the Americans but Minoso gathered it in for the final out. ALMOST EXTRA INNINGS

They might have played extra innings if Gus Bell, trying to go from first to third on Banks' sin- gle. hadn't been cut down by Mia- oso's peg to Frank Malsone of Bos- ton in the midst of the rally.

instead of the men on second and third with one out. the Na- tionals now had only a man on second and two gone. Grim's lot) was cut out for him and he came through-with M'1noao's help.

Three big runs for the Ameri- cans-two of them unearned - in the top of the ninth off Clem La- bine. the Brooklyn bullpen pitcher, seemed to have put the game be- yong reach. It made the score 6-1.

Pierce. fourth pitcher for Sten- gel's side. had snuffed out the Na- tional's lone previous threat in the seventh and had struck out three of the five men he faced in the seventh and eighth.

Pierce lost his stuff in the ninth. Ha walked Stan Muslal. playing his 14th game. and then gave up a triple by Willie Mays of New

York.

WALKED BELL I

When Pierce walked Bell of Cin- cinnati on four straight pltchespj Stengei decided he had enough. Don Mossl. another lefty from Cleveland. came to the rescue. ,

.Mossl struck out Milwakuees Eddie Mathews as Alston let the slugger hit away without bunting. with men on first and second and, nobody out. The third strike wasl a beautiful slow curve that driftedl across the plate while Mathews stood looking.

Banks then smashed a single off Malzone's glove into left field driv-I lng home Foiles. Bell stormed into third only to be cut down by Min- oso's throw in a rally - breaking

The victory boosted the Ameri- can's margin in the series to 14- 10. It was only the second win for the American. however, since i949.

Almod forgotten inthoninrhin- nlng dramatics was the senational early pitching of Jim Bunning. the 25- year -old Detroit starter. who pitched three perfect innings to earn the victory.

In fact. Detroit was a most im- portant factor in this American Leageu success.

FINE CATCH

Al Kaline. in right field. made a fine leaping catch on Brave Red Schoendlenars long drive to the right field wall in the sixth. in the fifth Kallne had forced hesitating Frank Robinson of Cincinnati at

ond after making a fine scoop of Mathews' smash as he trapped the hall. Robinson was afraid the ball would be caught and waited just long enough to get caught at second and Rob Mathews of a hit.

SPORT FORUM

Ch'T own Wants Fights

Sir: -A prossntsblo gathering of 1300 had seats in the Sports Ar- ena Thursday to sea Young Dick Hall of Boston and Coboy Mccluskey battle each other for 10 three minute rounds It was ex pected that the crowd would be much sin " bscauss Mcclusksy hadn't had a fight in well out a year and Hall was a total stranger to local fans. although he is highly rated in New England rings. so it looks like local fans want to see fights "This was one of the most important fights of my life" said Coboy in the dressing room after the fight "I'll have to admit that I was a little rusty In starting now I feel a lot more confident and know I'm going to win some fights"

With both fighters electing to fight at close range throughout and both swinging punches. from the opening hell on. the bout was rugged. grulllng affair from start to finish. fought between two of the nations ” contenders for middleweight honours who car- ried stamina and courage in large volumes neither felt tbs canvas touch his back throughout the bristling scrap but more than ones both held on desperately as whis- zlng punches landed home from the fists of the two nigged glad- Itors

It has always been said that Cobey had the punch to carry the fight to his opponents if he wished to do so but Cobey has been con- tented to pile up his points on books. labs and forceful infighting he would never take a chance in toy for a knockout but was happy to win by the officials decision that is a thing of the past for he is out to show the fight fans that he can punch with any fighters in his class

Earlier in the year Hall had knocked out Sammy Walker (for- mer New England Champion) in 0 rounds, Sports writers covsrin the fight reported it to be one o

the best fights ova seen in a Boston ring. the fight almost came

to and in the ninth round when Mccluskey caught Hall with a sh- ort viselous right hand flush on his jaw near Coboy's corner that sent his mouthpiece flying out of the ring the bell rang however and saved the Boston flash

Coboy's two brothers worked in- side the ropes between rounds in his corner and had the Maritime Middleweight Champion full of con- Mencs Tommy, who trains many Nova Scotla fighters including Dick Kid Howard. Buddy Day. lafth Paris and young Burns. had his younger brother in top form throughout the ill rounds. acting as his second and side” , was Bernard Ace Mccluskey who is well known around fistic circles. Ace has been keeping in shape by working out daily and may try a comeback, if he can secure local fights another one of Tom Mc- Cluaksys main attractions

Don Duck Trsinor showed local fight followers that he is the best middleweight around these parts wlsuihs seonad aloround de- cision over highly regarded Billy Mays. a colored lad from Boston What the American fighters lacked in boxing skill he more than made up with his aggressiveness his rsach was shorter than Trsinor as was his height he did however get in a good many punches to his opponents mldsection

Leo Steel probably never fought a better fight in his short but spectacular career that he did ag- ainst George Burns of Halifax, some of the credit for Steel's fins improvement must go to Bud Lund although it is not generally known that Lund trains and manages the affairs of Steel. Lund was talking to yours truly after the fights Thursday night and he said he, takes more patience in getting Steel in condition for a fight than when he was in the lesthcr tos- sing business himself

standing thing about the American League all - stars Tuesday was their pitching."

it was manager Walter Alston talking in the dressing room of the National League all-stars just af- fer they had been beaten 6-5 by the Casey Stengel - d Am- erican Lcaguers.

The players also praised the American League pitching. partic- ularly the job of starter Jim Bun- ning of Detroit.

Alston praised Billy Loes. the Baltimore hurler who relieved Bunning In the fourth. Loes once played for Alstonls Dodgers.

The National beaguers took the defeat without any outward signs of emdlion. They poured into their dressing room quietly. most of them with little time to catch trains or planes back to their own teams to resume the hot pennant l'8CE.

Alston defended his strategy in the ninth inning when the Na- tionals rallied for three runs and had the tying run on second when Dodger Gil Hodges pinch - hitting for teammate Clem Labine. lined out to Minnie Minoso In left field.

gone for a solid single had Robin-

Clem Labine. the relief ace who has fallen into some bad days re- cently with the Dodgers. was as unhappy as any of the National Leaguers. He was hit for three runs in the ninth.

Alston passed it off by saying simply. "lately. Clem hasn't pitched as good as he has done in the past."

In the ninth inning two runs were in. Hank Folios of Pittsburgh was on second and Bell on first af- fer a single and a walk. Alston de- cided to let Mathews swing away even though the situation could have called for a bunt.

''I thought about bunting," Al- ston sald. ”but Mathews is a good iefthanded hitter and left-handcrs

don't bother him." I

it turned out lcfthantlcr Don Mossl of Cleveland got Mathews out on a called strike.

Willie Mays. the New York Giant speed merchant in center- field. sized up the defeat quickly for all hands.

"They lust got away from us early and we just couldn't catch up-but we tried."
