Aggruvutes Injury
BY the Assoeioted Press


CINCINNATI, July 15.-That
National League power every
one was talking about can bow
down and say thank you" to
the pitching.
That was the general verdict
in both clubhouses after yester-
days 5-1 victory by the National
League over the American
League in the 20th All-Star
game.
Charlie Dresser, manager of
the Brooklyn Dodgers and pilot
of the winning National
Leaguers, had this to say:
when you get tough pitch
ing, they're tough to hit. I wish
I had that kind of pitching all
season."
Casey Agrees.
Much the same word came
from Casey Stengel, manager of
the New York Yankees and the
boss man for the American
Leaguers.
He blamed inability to hit for
most OF the American League
woes.
Casey also had some rough
words for an umpire and the
wind. He insisted Eddie Mathews
of the Milwaukee Braves was not
hit by a pitched ball in the fifth
inning when the Nationals
scored two runs. He also de-
clared Larry Doby's ninth inning
fly would have been a home run
except for the brisk wind.
But Stengel added:
I'VE got beat and we got beat
fairly"
Bitter Pill For StengeI.
It was bitter pill for him to
swallow, however. He has beaten
the National League entry four
straight times in the World
Series with his Yankees but he
never has been able to win an
All-Star game.
Stengel also was a mighty wor-
rled man as he took his league
leading Yankees into st. Louis
today for a three-game series.
News that Mickey Mantle
found it painful to walk follow
ing the aggravation of a pulled
leg muscle in yesterdays game
was even more distressing to the
grizzled pilot than the American
Leagues defeat.
The pain was so severe that
Mantle may not be able to play
against the Browns tomorrow
night.
Insists On Playing.
Stengel was blaming himself
today for Mantle's re-injury. He
permitted Mickey to play in the
AH-Star game against his better
Judgment. It wasn't until five
minutes before the game that
Casey decided to yield to
Mantle's insistence on playing.

SYDNEY, Australia, Sunday,

to have retained a slim majority
in the Senate, in an election Tor
80 of the so upper house seats.
First returns indicated the
government would have 81 seats
in the new Senate to opposition
Labor's 20. The majority must
provide the Senate president,
which reduces its working ma
jority to one.
Although Labor made appre-
ciable gains in votes in some
states, it looked as II the party
had gained only one seat thus
preventing a 30-30 deadlock.
This would have permitted Labor
Senators to shelves any govern
