inning. when we were trailing,
SO. I looked down the bench
for him." Lopez continued,
"and he wasn't around. sent
somebody to the clubhouse to
look for him, asking him to
come out. He sent back word
he wasn't feeling well.
Then in the sixth, when I
made all those changes. II
wanted him to play first. Again
sent up to the clubhouse and
asked him to come out. but he
didn't"
As Lopez was explaining all
this the team physician for the
Athletics walked into AIS Of
fee and announced that he
had examined Power during
the game and found nothing
that would have prevented him
from playing.
Contrasting Attitudes
After all, I picked him."
Lopez said. II must have had
something in mind for him.
The fellow is a credit to the
American League with his abil-
ity, but you wonder about his
attitude. Ted Williams was
used as a pinch-hitter in the
second inning. but he was still
on the bench at the end of
the game yelling for his team
mates. Mickey Mantle was
taken out in the sixth, but he
was still on the bench in the
ninth when we were trying to
lpull it out"
Power could have been af-
fected by the pre-game intro
ductions. He was the only
player among the swarm of
contestants who was booed. At
the time 1t was felt this could
be traceable to the fact that
he once played with Kansas
City and that fans remembered
him with disfavor, or that he
had been involved in some
incident since then to arouse
their wrath.
Lopez isn't inclined to permit
yesterdays situation to sway
him in regard to the second
All-Star Game in New York
tomorrow. "Vic is going to
New York with u.s." AL said.
"and I'm assuming he'll be
prepared to play if asked"
Lopez pointed out that Balti-
more's Ron Hansen and Bos-
tons Pete Runnels played
despite suffering chills in the
103-degree heat. Players of
both squads said the heat was
so intense they were bothered
constantly trying to keep per-
spiration out of their eyes so
they could hit or field.
MOnbOuQuette WalIoped
That didn't seem to perturb
the National Leaguers, par
ticularly in the early innings.
They slammed Bill Monbou-
quette around for three runs
in the first inning.
Willie Mays led of with a
triple to right. Bob Skinner
followed with a single to CEN
ter, stole second and then
ambled across on Ernie Banks
homer over the leftfield fence.
4 Monbouquette also yielded a
home run to Del Crandall in
the second inning. and the
score mounted to SO in the
third when the Orioles Chuck
Estrada was clipped for a dou-
BILE by Banks and singles by
Joe Adcock, Bill Mazeroski and
Crandall.
"Monbouquette and Estrada
could have been nervous" "
Lopez said. II don't say they
were. but they are kids and it's
possible"
Hansen's second inning sin
gle off Bob Friend represented
the American Leaguers' attack
over the first five innings, but
they produced a run against
Mike Mccormick in the sixth
after Harvey Kuenn popped a
single to right and was out at
second trying to stretch it.
Face Stops Rally
AL Kaline was safe when Ed
Mathews bobbled his grounder,
and Skowron singled to right,
sending Kaline to third. Elston
Howard walked to fill the bases,
and Nellie Fox rammed a sim
gle to left, scoring Kaline. Roy
Face emerged from the bull
pen to work on Luis Aparicio
and got the White Sox Short
stop to hit a double play
grounder to Banks.
Kuenn reached first when
Second Baseman Charley Neal
threw wildly in the eighth, and
Kaline reduced the American
League deficit to two runs with
homer over the left field
fence.
With one down in the ninth
the Americans threatened
against Bob Buhl. After
Catcher Smoky Burgess missed
Jim Gentile's foul pop, the Bal
timore first baSeman then
ripped a single to center. The
Senator's Jim Lemon walked,
