bic play.
That was it for the Americans,
with Antonelli checking them
thereafter.
The Nationals still had some
punch left. Musial pumped a
homer into the leftfleld seats in
the seventh inning off Brewer
They added another run in the
same inning after Mays walked.
Speedy Willie took off on a hit
and-run play and scored when
Kluszewski rammed a double
down the rightfleld line.
There's possibility Berra may
have suffered a Clipped bone in
the little finger of his right hand
when nicked by a foul ball of
Kluszewski's bat. but the rugged
receiver isn't likely to be side
lined for more than a brief
spell, even if X-rays reveal
damage.
Near Miss for MuSial
Musial and Boyer narrowly
averted a Earring collision pur-
suing Williams fly to short left
in the eighth inning. Stan
dashed in rapidly to grab the ball
with a dive, hitting the retreat
ing Boyer glancing bolw as he
fell. Stan left the game at that
point as precautionary measure.
1t would have been extremely
unfortunate if Stan had been
hurt seriously. since Manager
Walter Aston had intended to
replace him with Hank Aaron Of
the Braves earlier. Musial had
been in the ION deck" circle and
darted out to his post in leftfield
when he failed to come to bat.
Aston tried to attract the atten-
ton of an umpire to halt the
game and permit AaronS subSti-
tuition, but Williams hit the ball
before the manager could convey
his intention.
A player from every American
League club crashed the lineup
but neither the Phillies nor Cubs
were represented in the game.
The only Cub picked was Short
stop Ernie Banks, while the
Phillies had Pitcher Robin Rob-
erts and First Baseman- Catcher
Stan Lopata decorating the
bench.

pitchers and was famed by each

him out.
American League pitchers reg

he has played in only one pre-
vious All-Star Game where the
background was as bad for bat
tiers He said he had trouble
at Wrigley Field in Chicago, and
said 1t was real tough trying to
pick the ball out of the white
shirted background here.
