From wire Service Reports
NEW YORK--The Detroit Tigers were the only team to place
two starters in the American League All-Star lineup as outfielders
Ron LeFlore and Misty Staub each earned a starting spot.
Joining LeFlore and Staub in the AL outfield will be top
vote-getter Fred Lynn of the Boston Red Sox, who was named
on 2,953,664 ballots.
American League manager Darrell Johnson will also field
catcher Thurmon Munson of New York, first baseman Rod
Carew of Minnesota, second baseman Bobby Grich of Balti-
more, shortstop Toby Harrah of Texas, and third baseman
George Brett of Kansas City.
The top players were announced yesterday by baseball com-
missioner Bowie Kuhn after a record 8,370,145 ballots were cast.
LeFlore, the Tigers' centerfielder-who had a 30-game hitting
streak earlier this season and is currently hitting .334-was second
in the outfield voting with 1,911,335. Staub was third with 1,573,703
votes, 140,000 ahead of New York's Mickey Rivers.
Staub is leading the Tigers in RBI's and has a .310 average.
Brett, the AL's leading hitter at .354, was an easy winner
at third, beating runner-up Don Money by half a million votes.
The closest race was at catcher where Munson, a .322 hitter,
edged Carlton Fisk of Boston, 2,284,577 to 2,218,875.
At first base, Carew carries a .320 average. Grich, at .282, has
the lowest average of the starters. Harrah, a .289 hitter, out-
polled Baltimore's Mark Belanger by 240,000.
The Tigers have a chance to start three players, since pitcher
Mark Fidrych could very well get the starting nod.
vice-president, who wants the
Games cancelled or moved else-
where if Taiwanese athletes are
not given free and unqualified
entry into Canada.
There was no sign of a set-
tlement of the dispute between
the Canadian federal govern-
ment and the IOC. Canada
said the Taiwanese will not
be allowed in unless they un-
dertake not to compete in the
Olympics under the name of
the Republic of China.
The IOC has scheduled to
meet next week, before the
opening of the Games July 17.
Few members of the IOC
have arrived thus far. Lord Kil-
lanin, the president, is waiting
to consult his nine-man execu-
tive board before making any
new approach to the Canadian
government.
In Chicago, Phillip Krumm,
president of the United States
Olympic Committee said the
organization might have to re-
consider U.S. participation in
the Games if Taiwan decides
.a1t:4:.. } :%-.n.4
to withdraw.
"We would have to recon-
sider our position mainly be-
cause of the positions of a
number of other countries
who are already at the point
where they may be thinking
of withdrawing," Krumm said
in a telephone interview from
his home.
Krumm flies to Montreal
early today for crucial meetings
on the Taiwan issue with offi-
cials of the Games and repre-
sentatives from other countries.
The IOC recognizes Taiwan's
National Olympic Committee as
the Republic of China. Mainland
China is not recognized at all,
but has applied for admission
to the Games.
The IOC released the text of
letters between Killanin and of-
ficials of the Canadian External
Affairs Ministry.
These made it clear that
Communist China made a di-
rect demand to Canada that
Taiwanese athletes be banned
from the country altogether.
