are virtually the same ball club.
The other seven clubs are all
more of a mystery to esch other

bets to be in the first division.
Some unusual features mark the
approaching campaign.
RACE PROBLEM
For one, none of the clubs can
use Negroes when they are in
Louisiana to play Shreveport. A
new Louisiana law bans interracial
sports. The clubs can carry 19
players if they have Negroes and
only 16 if they do not. The extra

since 1901, the first year the Amer-

Opening day attendance Sunday

Houston expects 10,000 when it

Dallas looks for 8,000 when it

with Austin. Tulsa will be at Okla-

BOWERS TO START
Dallas will start Tommy Bow-

Worth, which knows little about
its ball club because of the fran-
chise shifts whereby parent Brook-
lyn moved its players to Los An-
geles and the Chicago Cubs sent
Los Angeles to Fort Worth, is ex-
pected to use Gene Fodge, a right-
hander with a 19-7 record at LA
in 1956.
San Antonio will depend on Ron-
nie Moeller, 19, rookie who won
4 and lost 7 for Texas City in

A golfer must win a 73-hole
PGA-sponsored open tournament

Las Vegas event and through the
famed Masters in Georgia, which
precede* the Nevada attraction.
And for the second year, Billy

will be in the field for the money-
laden meet. Joinging him wil be
some of the top names in the pro
ranks.

CHICAGO, April 13 to) - The
American League, with its clubs

New aces always interest the

New faces always interest the

Two of the new pilots will be
making their American League
debuts—Jack Tighe at Detroit and
Korby Farrell at Cleveland. Al Lo-
pes, after six seasons with the
Cleveland Indians, will direct the
destinies of the Chicago White
Sox.
Virtually every club, I believe,
will be helped by talented first-

To name but a few, I am cer-

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 13
Sometimes in the golden glow of
a spectacular athletic event the
man in the grandstand may for-
get in his excitement that his
heroes of the field were not al-
ways at the top.
Let’s go back to a bright sum-
mer day in Washington, D. C.,
last July 15. It is baseball's high
moment of the season to date and
a legion of fans hu packed flag
bedecked Griffith Stadium.
Now. If you will, look over those
power-packed starting line-ups.
Up to the plate strides scrappy
Johnny Temple, the second base-
man from Morganton. N.C., 1945.
The pitcher, cool lefty Billy
Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y., 1546, toes
the rubber and the game is on.
EXCITING EVENT
To me sitting in this historic
old ball park and watching the ex-
citing events of that afternoon un-
WASHINGTON, April 13 I-
Bobby Morrow, Abilene Christian
College's sprint star of the Olym-
pic Gamu, hu been selected u
one of nine great living Americana
by the United States Chamber of
Commerce.
The eight others are Cecil B.
DeMile. Claro Boothe Luce, Lt.
Col. Frank Everest, Victor Riesel,
George Humphrey, Dr. William
Menninger, Norman Rockwell and
J. J. Warren.
They —will be presented by
Chamber President John Coleman
at a leadership recognition din-
ner here April 39.
Candidates were nominated by
the chamber's organization
members and selected by a com-
mitteq of directors. Restrictions
were limited only to American
citizens "who by their own inita-
tive, self-reliance and ambition,
have made notable contributions
to human progress." v
Coleman wrote Morrow:
“The panel of judges selected
you for this recognition because of
your feat in winning three gold
medals in the 1956 Olympics and
becoming America's most suc-
cessful representative at this
worldwide athletic classic.
"I hope most sincerely that you
fold. I saw down there on the dia-
mond the "grass roots All-Stars
of America." I tried to picture in
my mind each player, not u a
poised and polished big . timer,
but as a roughcut rookie just be-
ginning his days in professional
baseball.
Look at the rut of that "grass-
roots” All-Star array. After Tem-
ple. who cut his professional base-
ball teeth in the old Western Caro-
lina League in the '45 season
came big Frank Robinson, the left
fielder, who wu destined to be
Rookie of the Year. Robinson,
Tulsa, Okla., '53 had come up so
fast he hadn't even rated a place
on the roster of his team at the
start of the 'M season.
FORMER HURLER
Heading the batting order wu
an ex-pitcher, a fellow named
Stan Musial, Daytona Beach, Fla.
'40 and he wu followed by his
teammate. Ken Boyer, Lebanon,
Pa., '40.
Right fielder Musial. making his
13th appearance in the mid-sum-
mer classic, wu named that day
u player of the decade, a far cry
from the kid who almost quit base-
ball at Daytona Beach because of
a broken shoulder. His young
teammate, third baseman Boyer,
wu the defensive star of the
game, shining more brightly than
at any time since his caeer ho-
gan in the North Atlantic League
in 1949.
To go on with that line-up, next
came center fielder Gus Bell from
Keokuk, Iowa, '47, long a proud
address in the Three 1 League
which is celebrating this season
its golden anniversary in the mi-
nors. Dale Long, the first base-
man who emblaxoned the baseball
scene with his feat of eight
homers in eight games during
May, came'to bat u an alumnus
of Uma, Ohio, '46 and was fel-
lowed by kid catcher Ed Bailey
of Ogden, Utah, ’50. Stylish short-
stop Roy McMillan, Tyler, Tex.,
’47, batted eighth ehead of start-
ing-pitcher Bob Friend, Waco,
"Tex.,’80. i
There wu that same grass
roots flavor in the other line-up.
Ex-collegian Harvey Kuenn, the
shortstop, another Three r
Leaguer from Davenport, Iowa,
U. led off and little Nellie Fox,
the second baseman, class of Lan-
caster, Pa., ’44, followed.
The slender slugger. Ted Wil-
liams of San Diego, away back to

Catcher Yogi Berra, Norfolk,
Va., ’53 batted in next and then
came the only player on the field
never to have donned a minor
league uniform, Al Kaline of De-
troit Kaline’s presence in this
array of stars served only to em-
phasize the importance of that ap-
prenticeship in the lower echelons
of baseball for it is rare indeed
when a young man can step, as
he did, from the sandlots of his
Baltimore high school team di-
rectly to a big league diamond.
Veteran Mickey Vernon, the
first baseman, Easton, Pa., '37
and third baseman George Kell.
Newport, Ark., ‘40-0, batting ahead
of pitcher Pierce, completed the
All-Star line-up.
Who won that lively battle has
been recorded for posterity and
it is not important to the subject
at hand.
