Roberts Faces Pierce in All-Star

~ECLASSIIlt

N L's Newcombe, W ynn
Of AL To Follow in 4th

I.

MILWAUKEE (A)-Robin Rob-
erts ties a record by starting his
fifth All-Star game for the Na-
tional League today against Chi-
cago's Billy Pierce, a surprise
choice by Manager Al Lopez of
the American League.

Impressed by the lefthanded
batting power . on the National
squad that has hit 288 home runs
to 183 by the American, Lopez de-
cided to call on Pierce, the 28-
year old slick lefthander who has
been pitching fine ball in recent
weeks after a slow start. His rec-
ord is 5-6.
Newcombe Bypassed
Manager Leo Durocher of the
Nationals by-passed Don New-
combe, Brooklyn's pitcher-slugger
with his 14-1 record five home
runs to go with Roberts.
The 28-year-old Philadelphia
righthander owns a fine 13-7 rec-
ord. Newcombe will follow Rob-
erts for the middle three-innings
with Sam "Toothpick" Jones (9-
10) of Chicago finishing.
Under the rules, no pitcher can
pitch more than three innings un-
less the game goes into extra in-
nings while all the other starters,
selected by the votes of 6,562,064
fans, must play at least the first
three innings unless injured.
Wynn Follows Pierce
Lopez expects to bring in Early
Wynn (11-4) of his own Cleve-
land staf to follow Pierce.. Wynn
had been "best bet" of most ex-
perts as the likely starter although
baseball strategy seemed to call
for a lefty. Whitey Ford of the
New York Yankees (10-4) is the
likely late inning pitcher.
Ticket prices from $7.50 to $1.50
are reported selling at tremendous
premiums, some as high as $50,
for baseball-mad Milwaukee is al
hopped up about its first All-Star
game. A sellout crowd of 45,000
will jam County Stadium, contrib-

utingreceipts of about $175,000.
Network radio (Mutual) and TV
(NBC) will carry the game coast-
to-coast.
Delayed for Ward's Funeral
Game time is 2 p.m. (CST), the
start having been delayed a half
hour from the original 1:30 to per-
mit officials to attend the funeral
of Arch Ward, Chicago Tribune
sports editor, who dreamed up the
game in 1933.9
The power-packed Nationals re-
main a 13 to'10 favorite although
the American holds a 13-8 edge in
the series. Five National starters
-Ted Kluszewski of Cincinnati,
Duke Snider of Brooklyn, Willie
Mays of New York, Eadie Mathews
of Milwaukee and Ernie Banks of
Chicago--each has hit more ho-
mers than Mickey Mantle of the
Yankees whose 21 tops the Amer-
ican.

Big League
Reps Make
Suggestions
MILWAUKEE (k) - Big league
baseball players Monday recom-
mended that club owners limit
their squads to only two bonus
players and excluded them from
the regular 25-player limit.
The suggestion came at a joint
meeting of player representatives
of the American and National
leagues.
Bonus Policy Unfavorable
The player representatives said
they felt the present unrestricted
policy on bonus players worked a
hardship on veteran, established
players.
Winter Restrictions Opposed
The players also made these
recommendations:
That the restriction be lifted
from the number of major league
players eligible for winter baseball.
The players' group suggested that
the various Latin American leagues
deal directly with individual big
league players instead of club own-
ers as now prevails.
That players be allowed to re-
port for spring training before the
customary March 1 deadline at the
invitation of their clubs. Last sea-
son it was not permissible for a
player to report earlier than March
1.

OKLAHOMA CITY (P^) - Jerry
Hoyt, nationally known racing car
driver, died in an Oklahoma City
hospital yesterday from injuries
received Sunday night in the $5,-
000 big car races here.
Hoyt, a bridegroom of two
weeks, was injured when his racer
crashed into a retaining wall on
the first lap of an early heat. The
26-year-old speedster from Indi-
anapolis was rushed to Weley
Hospital where he underwent 31/2
hours of surgery. He died at 6
a.m. of brain injuries.
Held Pole in '500'
Hoyt, who won the pole position
in this year's 500 mile Memorial
Day race at Indianapolis, was the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Hoyt
of Indianapolis.

A product of soap box derby
competition and son of a race
driver, Hoyt was a teammate of
Bob Sweikert, winner of the 1955
Indianapolis Speedway classic.
Sweikert also was competing in
the Oklahoma City races, but pull-
ed out of the feature event to ac-
company Hoyt to the hospital.
Third Crash Fatal
Hoyt had been racing autos
since the age of 18. The accident
that caused his death was his third
this year. He escaped injury in a
spin in a sprint car race at Salem
and suffered slight injuries three
weeks ago during a 100 mile race
at Langhorne, Pa.
He was the fifth big car driver
to die this year.
Bill Vukovich, twice winer of the
500 mile race at Indianapolis, was
killed in this year's "500"; Manuel
Ayulo was killed May 17 at the
Indianapolis track while practic-
ing for the "500"; Larry Crockett
was killed at the Langhorne, Pa.
track March 20 and Mike Nazaruk
was killed at the same track May 1.
