Slated monday or jl/4l. "  los Angeles a since the setting is los Angeles it figured there would be some Odd angles to the second 1959 All Star game which comes off monday at memorial coliseum. But even for los Angeles where a Man with two Heads might not be considered eccentric unless he wore Only one hat this game presents some curious aspects. It s unusual of course for a second All Star game to be played at All. Ordinarily this is a once a year production but that s hardly the most spectacular feature of this game. For one thing it s being played at 4 pm. Up to now the  the Only people who have Ever scheduled anything for 4 o clock in the afternoon and the Best excuse they can find is hoisting Tea cups. The 4 pm starting time incidentally was chosen so the game will pick up the big evening television audience in the East. For another thing the game has not overwhelmed the local Popula Tion although it s the first All Star game in West coast history and backing Mack collecting ballots for the Vii corps Jay Hawks Harold Mack in the stars and stripes most valuable player poll is giving youngsters in the Stuttgart area a Chance on prizes of their own.

Fans May vote As Many times As they wish on the official ballots printed daily in the stars and stripes but poll officials pointed out saturday that future ballots with the signature in Carbon will not be accepted. Many american league stars will be making their first appearance Here. In addition Many big City news papers which normally Send writ ers to the All Star game will not be represented. T then of course there is the scene of the exercise. The game will be played in the strangest Park in the big leagues maybe in All  game will count As part of Thel All Star series that began 26 years ago. It should make a pile of Money for the players pension fund. The american leagues who lost the first 1959 All Star game 5-4, at Pittsburgh still Lead in the series 15-11. But their manager Casey Stengel of the Yankees has had terrible Luck running All Star teams. Casey has won Only three games lost twice that Many. Fred Haney Milwaukee the National league skipper is 1-1. In the july 7 game at Pittsburg Stengel and Haney had to go with the starting lineups selected by a vote of players in the two leagues. This time however they have the option of starting anybody on their rosters and they have been allowed to add three players to their squads making a total of 28. Largest turnout los Angeles fans got to see one american league club May 7, when the Yankees played an exhibition with the dodgers before 93,103 largest crowd in . Baseball history. But Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra did t play that night so the crowd will be looking for them. Ted Williams a former Southern californian also should get an enormous reception. San Francisco s Willie Mays whose eighth inning triple drive in the winning run in the july 7 game has Given the dodgers a miserable time in the coliseum. The fans will be delighted to have him on their Side for a Day. Same goes for Pittsburgh s amazing Little Relief Pitcher Elroy face who won two games in two nights Here earlier this season. The Best guess seems to be that Between 45,000 and 55,000 fans will turn up. Assuming a crowd of 50,000, the take would he about $250,000 after taxes. Add to this another Quarter million in Tele vision receipts.

Only ballots printed daily in the stars and stripes will be considered. Face Mantle apathy found in twin cities for 3d league by Oscar  Minneapolis up base Ball s proposed third major league could be neither Happy nor optimistic Over the Minneapolis St. Paul reaction that the North country s twin cities would be one of its key franchises. There was a general apathy and disinterest on the part of the Man in the Street. It has Many facets. The main one is that the twin cities would be just another minor league team masquerading in big league uniforms. There Are several other Irh Porlant factors. First of these is a feeling even in this dual City of 1.5 million people that a team which draws a paltry 5,000 at Tendance for its league leading team in the american association could t equal the from hunger crowds of 6,000-8,000 for the aver age Washington senator game. Eternal feud then too there is the seemingly eternal feud Between the shoulder to shoulder cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Minneapolis has a stadium which with., the addition of a planned tier can be improved until it would be a match for the Best in the big leagues. But the tier would be useless without customers to fill it. And those fans must come from St. Paul a District with absolutely nothing saintly about it when it comes to things Minneapolis. Talking to the Man on the Street you also get the idea which in All fairness was voiced previously by commissioner Ford Frick that expansion must come from within. It was Frick s Contention that the current eight team major leagues each should be broadened to 10 teams. This would absorb a second new York team in the National league plus three others you could pull out of a hat. Better to be 10th in a real major league and be Able to see real major league teams once in while than to be first in what you know actually is a triple a league said one Man. Busy at the receiving end new York up Bill Dickey caught 100 or More games for the new York Yankees for is consecutive seasons
