AlI.Star
Game
Odds Even
BY LAYTON CARVER

International News Service Sports Editor
NEW YORK. July Aft you
want to gouge National Leaguers
in a tender spot just point out to
them that the American League is
on the basis of evidence
TO be had by a quick perusal of
the World Series and the ALL
Star games. II wasn't always
this way, but in recent years the
has done a pretty good
job of dominating the World Series
with the aid of the New York
Yankees-and the Americans have
won six OF nine All-Star games.
On Monday the National will
get its best chance in recent years
on paper-to do something about
American League domination in
the midsummer interleague classic.
The odds are to ) and take your
choice. That means that-on
team can win.
This is in direct contrast TO the
professional viewpoint in past sea-
sons. Almost without exception
the American Leaguers have been
the favorites and, of course, have
justified that exalted position.

POWER MISSING

This year the Americans won't
enter the game with as much
power as they have boasted in the
past. Some OF their better slug
ging stars have aged. Others are
in slumpS and the Polo Grounds
is fashioned for this National
League team. rather than the
American Leaguers.
The right field stands arc within
easy range of the left-hand swing
ers. of which the Americans have
just a couple Il real standouts--
Ted Williams. the recalcitrant
Boston Red Sox outfelder and
Bill Dickey, the aging Yankee
That either of them might break
up the ball game goes without
saying. as Williams. in fact. did
last year after Arky Vaughan had
hit couple of homcrS 10 put tho
Nationals in front and take the
hcro's roc until Williams came 10
bat for the last time and with one
swing changed the whole result.
