deep in the box. The pitch by Pierce is a foul. Back off in the lower deck. So the cab remains at two strikes with Yogi Berra working back of the plate for the American League team. Ted Williams in left field, Mickey Mantle is playing today in center and there was some question as to whether the great center fielder of the Yankees would be able to make it. He's wearing a knee brace which extends from his upper thigh down below the calf of his leg and he'll be moving. Here's Pierce's delivery. A let up curve that's just a little high for a ball

two strikes Johnny Temple. The Red Leg's uniform with that vest like top is rather cool. And when Ted Klosinski gets into the game a little later, I imagine you'll hear some sounds from the fans. The 1, 2 delivery, a curveball throws, his bat misses and the bat goes down the third base. Coach Freddy Hutchinson. Strike three. Billy Pierce records the strikeout, the first of the All Star game as Johnn Temple goes down waving. Frank Robinson batting in the number two spot for the Red Legs, hitting.313 as 18 home runs on the National League season. He made quite a jump from the low Miners to the Cincinnati Red Legs and has really been powdering that ball. Open stance, stands up from the front part of the box, takes a swing and he cuts back on a foul. Frankworth, number 20, tall, slender youngster born August 31, 1935. He was just a baby when many of these fellas who will be seeing action today were playing. Billy Pierce into his wind up the pitch on the way, a curveball, he swings out and he misses. Strike two. So the left hander Billy Pierce being used by Magic Casey Stengel to start off this All Star Classic continues to handcuff the first two men to face him. George Cal backs up at third about three steps off the line. Keane halfway between second and third at short, the outfield pull the left. The wind blowing out towards right center field. 350ft down the left field line. 320 down the right field line. And Pierce is ready. Here's the two strike picks. A quick and a miss.

Strike three.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
Billy Pierce faces two men, strikes two out. And there's two out in the top half of the first inning. The National League now stands up. Man, the man Musial. And Mr. Musial, stepping in there now, is appearing in his 13th All Star game. A new record. And he'll get quite a hand. Usual a left hand batter deep in that batter's box. Feet close together, hunched up. The pitch by Pierce. A ground ball hit to the left side, keen to his left, has it to throw to first out. So Sam Musial bounces out short to first. Harvey Keane to Mickey Vernon. And in the top half of the first inning for the National League, no runs, no hits, no errors, nobody left on. And Billy Pierce strikes out two of the first three men to face him. And at the end of the first half inning, the score, National League nothing. The American League. Coming to bat. Harvey King steps in there. Harvey, representing the American League, at shortstop, number seven, currently hitting.354 in the American League season, takes a look at a fastball from Bob Friend over the inside corner. Bob Friend is working his first All Star Game. And I believe he is the first Pittsburgh Pirate ever to start an All Star Game. The outfield catered to the left. Keane swings over a closed stance to pitch a fastball low and outside. One ball, one strike. Fran looks in. Ed Bailey from the Cincinnati Red Legs doing the catching. Ken Boyer backed up at third to pitch to Keane. A curveball. There's a line drive speed by Ken Boyer.

Boyer goes to his left.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
That ball. And Harvey Keane goes back to the American League dugout, talking about the great play of this youngster. So Keane lines out to Ken Boyer at third. Fine play by the youngster, who moved to his left and dove for the ball and came up with it. The batter now is the left hand batting. Nelly Fox stands deep in the box. Swings over a closed stance. The pitch by Friend. He swings on this one. Pops one foul going over near the stands. And over is Boyer. He can't get to it. It's out of play. One strike. We're in the last half of the first inning. The All Star Game in Washington. The American League. Batting with one out, Nelly Fox the batter, no score. Friend is ready to pitch. On the way, Dennelli Fox takes a swing on a fastball outside. Strike two. Friend has an unusual delivery in that he starts in his Wind up one time, then swings his arm out to the right and around and it keeps the batter searching for that ball. The pitch by Friend on the way. A ground ball to the right side. Moving over his left is Johnny Temple. Makes the throw to first today. Along out at first. So Nelly Fox bounces out second of first, two out in the last half of the first inning. And here's Ted Williams. Ted Williams steps in there now for the American League. Ted is appearing in his 12th All Star Game. Looks at a fastball on inside four, bow one. Ted stands up there. Six four, 198 pounder birth date August 30, 1918. San Diego. In 32 times at bat, the All Star Game has 12 hits. Bob Friend's ready to work. The one ball pitch to Williams. He looks at a curve that gets the inside corner first. Strike one and one. Friend has a good fastball that moves around. He throws a slider and he has a good curve. Two out, nobody on last. The first, no score. The right side of the infield backed up with the infield shift on the shortstop, McMung on the right side of second base. There's the let up curve outside. Two balls, one strike. Ken Boyer, the third baseman, playing halfway between second and third, about two steps off the line. The shortstop, McMillan is over about five steps to the right of second. Johnny Temple, the second baseman, halfway between second and first and long deep at first. The pitch to Williams. A swing and a miss on a fastball and it's now two balls. Two strikes, two out, no score. Nobody on the outfield has Stan Musial deep in the shadow of the big fence in right field. Here's the 2:2 delivery to Williams. Looks at a fastball just outside. Ball three. Billy Pierce faced only three men in the top half of the first. Bob Friend has faced two men so far with two out, Williams with a three two count. Friend's into his lined up. Here's the playoff pitch to Williams. He swings, he misses back three. So in the last half of the first inning, no runs, no hits, no errors, and nobody left on one strikeout for Bob Friend. And the score at the end of the first inning is the National League.

Nothing.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
The American League, nothing. Well, stepping in for the National League is the youngster who made the sensational grab, young ken Boyer. He's hitting.321, has 20 home runs for the National League. And he swings from an open stance, holds the bat down the way, close to his belt. Swings. There's a drive going out of a second base.
Baseball Color Commentator
It's in there for a base hit.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
Mantle moves to his left, throws into second to Nellie Fox. And Ken Boyer gets the first hit of the all star game of 1956. A single into center field. That's the first hit off Billy Pierce. And up now for the National League All Stars. Just Bell, the center fielder from the Cincinnati red legs. Gus, hitting 289, has 15 home runs. Gus swings from almost open stance. His right foot is pulled back about an inch further from the plate than his left foot outfield straight away the pitch by appears a fastball poured through there. Swung on and missed. Strike one. George Cal protecting against the left hand batter at third base. About two steps off the edge of the infield grass. Nelly Fox deep at second. Mickey Vernon holds against the runner at first. Boyer, he leads away about three steps. Pierce has a very deceptive pick off delivery. And the pitch is swung on. A miss like two. Billy Pierce keeping that pitch high and inside to Gus Bell, the center fielder from the Cincinnati Red legs Ted Williams out in left field. Straight away in center is Mickey Mantle deep and right is Al Kaline of the Detroit Tigers. Again, Ken Boyer leads away from first. Vernon holds against him two, three steps away. Billy Pierce reads his sign from Yogi Berra, checks the runner at first. The pitch is swung on. A miss, strike three. So Billy Pierce strikes out Gus Bell. That's his third strikeout. One out for the National League in the top of the second inning.

And Ken Boyer on at first. In the batter now is Dale Long. Dale has 17 home runs. He's currently hitting an even 300. So day along. Number three from the Pittsburgh Pirates, born February 6, 1926, stands deep in the box. Pierce looks to Boyer at first. The pitch is a little inside for a ball fastball. It sort of popped inside outfield straight away. Overcast skies with the sun being blocked out.

Again moves in a little closer, third protecting against long. The pitch is taken high outside and it's two balls, one strike. National League has on deck Ed Bailey, the fine catcher from Cincinnati, who has a.335 batting average, has 14 home runs. Pierce again looks to first base. Here's the pitch on the way. There's a fly ball foul going on top of the roof, back of third base, and the count goes to two balls, two strikes. The playing field here in Griffith Stadium is in beautiful shape, grass reflecting a mighty fine green and reflects the great work of the ground keepers here and getting the ballpark in great shape for this classic here in 1956. Two balls, two strikes, runner on it. First is Ken Boyer. We are in the top of the second. A pitch by Pierce today along a fastball. Strike three call. So Billy Pierce continues to write a new chapter to the strikeout story as he adds his four strikeouts in the six men he has faced so far. So there's two out in the second inning. The batter is Ken or Ken Boyer on at first and the batter's Ed Bailey. Bailey also bats on the left side. Where's number six? Ed is from Strawberry Plains, Tennessee, and he's having a mighty fine year. Stands deep in that left hand batter's box, holds a bat right on the end. Crouch it just a little. Holds a bat back like a whip and looks at a curve outside for ball one. Billy Pierce, the strong left hander for the Chicago White Sox, again demonstrating his great ability to get that ball over the plate. Boyer leads away, throw over, back safely and Pierce sidearmed him over to first Base stepping in ahead of the throw. Getting his throw over their sidearm. Almost got Boyer off. Here's the pitch. There goes Bowyer. A swing. There's a throw down to Harvey Kane. It on him. He's out at second. So with Ed Bailey swinging, Boyer trying to go to second, the throw went 2, 6. And in the second innings of the National League, no runs, one hit, no errors, and nobody left on base. And at the end of one and a half innings of play, the score, National League nothing. The American League, nothing. Mantle goes into today's game carrying a.371 batting average in the American League. Has 29 home runs. This is his fourth All Star game. Has takes a big swing and misses on a fastball by Bob Friend for a strike. Mickey, in 13 times at bat, has hit one home run in All Star competition. Has a.308 batting average, 13 doubles, two triples. And he takes a look at a fastball that's slow. So it's one ball, one strike. Mantle goes into today's game leading both leagues in the department of home runs and the batting average. Swinging over a closed stance, Bob Friends into his wind up. There's a left curve that catches the outside corner for a strike. So it's one ball, two strikes, Longing to stroke one. Here's the pitch by Friend. A fastball on the outside corner. Strike three. Call.

Bob Friend is not taking a back seat to anybody. He racks up his second strikeout. And the batter now for the American League is Yogi Barra. We are in the last half of the second inning. There is no score, only one hit. Ken Boyer's single to start off the second inning. Yogi Berra, hitting.281 in the regular season, takes a swing. And there's a ground ball out into left field for a base hit. So Yogi Farah gets the hits even with a single into left center field. Smash it between the shortstop and the third baseman. And the American Leaguers have a runner on it first. And Al Kaline, who's from Baltimore, Maryland, steps in there. Al's currently hitting.282. He is no stranger to All Star Game competition. He was in last year. Bob Friend looks to Barrett first. The pitch. There's a swing and a drive into center field. Moving in two steps with plenty of room as Gus Bell. He's got it. So Al Kaline, first ball, swinging lines to the center fielder. And there's two out. Barrow on at first. And Mickey Vernon steps. Mickey, a great favorite here in Washington, where he played for so many Years Having a great season with the Boston Red Sox. Hitting.324. Has seven home runs. Left hand batter Barrow leads away the outfield straight away. The pitch by Friend. A fastball hind inside ball one. Scoreless ball game. We're in the last half of the second inning. The American League at bat. Bear on it. First Long holds against him. Here's the pitch to Vernon. He swings and misses for a strike.

So about Friend seems calm, cool and relaxed out there. Boyer back about three steps off the line at third. Friend checks the run at first. There's a swing and a foul. Coming back on a curveball. And it's one ball, two strikes as Mickey Vernon tries to get a hold of that curve and pull it into right field. National League Stan Musial in right field, center field is Gus Bell. In left field is Frank Robinson. Backed up at second is Johnny Temple. Long holds against Yogi Barra. The one, two throw to first base. Back safely. Bob Friend very quick with that throw. Over to first, checks the runner. Here's the base outside and it's two and two. It was just such a pitch that Mickey Mantle was called out on strikes. A fastball that seemed to move Yogi. Barrage is away from first. Here's the two, two delivery. There's a swing and a fly ball hit into left center field. Coming on is Gus Bell.

He's got it. So in the last half of the second inning for the American League, no runs, one hit, no errors and one man left on. And at the end of two full innings of play, the score, the National League, nothing. The American League, nothing. Ed Bailey, who was up to bat in the second inning when Ken Boyer was sent down to second base and thrown out by Yogi Berra, is back in there. Bailey with a.335 batting average in the regular National League season, which is now underway, is in there. And Billy Pierce is ready to work. Here's the left hander's delivery. It's a curve loan outside for ball one. George Bertie Tabitt, who competed in three All Star Games, is coaching. At first base, Freddie Hutchinson of the National League St. Louis Cardinals at third. The pitch is a fastball down through the middle. First strike, one on one. Manager Walter Alston of the Brooklyn Dodgers getting two former American leaguers to be his coaches today. Here's the delivery by Pierce. A swing and a miss and a fastball. And it's one ball, two strikes. Freddie Hudson having been with the Tigers, and of course, Bertie Tibbets having been with the Tigers in Cleveland and Boston got feel backed up infield on the right side deep with Vernon two steps off the edge of the outfield grass. Fox one step off the edge at second base. There's a curve outside. Just missed two balls, two strikes. Ed Bailey leading off for the National League in the third inning. Scoreless ball game, each team with one hit. Billy Pierce has struck out four of the six men to face him. The pitch to Bailey takes a look at a curve outside for ball three. Three balls, two strikes. Yogi Barra doing the catching for the American League. Pumps that ball back out to Billy. Billy and Yogi could well become rather well worked battery mates. They've worked before in the All Stars Star Game and they're working here today. Here's Pierce with a payoff pitch to Bailey. There's a swing and a high five that will pop right out near the coach's box. And Mickey Vernon moves as the wind brings it over. Almost fair, but about two steps. Foul. He squeezes it for the out. Ball was popped up and the breeze, which is blowing in from right field out towards left center, almost brought that ball back into fair territory. So Bailey fouls out to the first baseman, Mickey Varnin. Roy McMillan, the shortstop from the Cincinnati Red legs, batting in the number eight spot for the National League, now steps in. Roy is currently hitting.282. He has two home runs. Swings over a closed stance and Billy Pierce delivers nine outside. Ball one. Mickey Mantle moves over a few steps in left center field. Deep in left is Ted Williams. Kell is about two steps off the foul line, even with the bag. Pierce ready delivers. And it's a fastball over, but low. And it's a two ball camp.

Roy McMillan wears glasses, steps back in there. Pierce is ready with a two ball delivery outside ball three. So this is the first batter that Billy Pierce has faced in which he has run the count to the wrong side of the ball and strike indicator. There is a left hander working in the American League bullpen. It looks like Whitey Ford. Here's the pitch by Billy Pierce. A fastball strike. Three balls, one strike. So Casey Stengel may well go with his promise of using three left handers in a row against the power laden national leaguers. The 31 pitch swung on foul back and the Cav runs to three and two hitting off the facing up above the press box while we wait for a new ball. Let's pause 10 seconds for station identification. This is Mutual, the radio network for all Americans up WGN Radio Chicago serving the Middle West. Pierce's next pitch, one run fouled off going up into the upper deck, back of first base. And every seat here in Griffith Stadium today is jam. The high wall that runs from the right field corner out to left center field is, they tell me, 31ft high. The pitch by Billy Pierce is swung on and bowed back again. So Roy McMillan is acting as a souvenir distributor here today, sending them around to everybody. And the press box occupants up there start to wave the white flag. They are in the direct line and Roy McMillan starting to get the aim up there. The outfield for the American League shaded around the left. Keane is deep and short. Pierce into his wind up. The payoff pitch to McMullen is inside for ball four. So Billy Pierce gives up his first walk and McMillan becomes the second baserunner for the National League. And he's on it first and the pitcher Bob Friend is coming up. So here comes Bob Friend stepping up there to see what he can do against Billy Pierce. Bob is well thought of as a hitter by his manager, Bobby Bragan. Over at Pittsburgh, he bats from the right side. Where's number 19? Pierce now will pitch from the stretch with McMillan on it first. Vernon holds against McMillan. He leads away. The pitch coming. There's a tempted bunt foul. So Friend apparently displays the strategy of manager War Austin to move the runner to second as he tries to bun it. George Kell now moves in a few steps closer at third base. About one or two steps off the edge of the infield grass. The outfield straight away. Nelly Fox and Harvey Keane getting their signals set. McMillan again edges away. Vernon holding against the run of the pitch on the way. There's the bun out in front of the plate, down off the mountains. Pierce makes his throw to first. A high throw, but grabbed by Fox. And out at first. The sacrifice is good. And the play goes from Billy Pierce to Nelly Fox. 14 if you score with us. But the sacrifice for Bob Friend is good. And on at second now is Roy McMullen. Two out. The battery. This is Johnny Temple, a second baseman. He struck out in the first inning. And the overcast skies remain with us. A heavy layer of cumulus clouds overhead, but the weather prediction is that it may be cloudy, but no rain. We are in the top of the third. There's no score. The National League has a runner on at second base. Two ops. And the batter is Johnny Temple. Right hand batter. Pierce ready, looks, throws. And a fastball over the outside corner for strike. Birdie Tebbets down at first base, chirping it up for his second baseman, Johnny Temple. All right, Pierce is ready. Looks back to McMillan. The pitch on the way is a foul as Temple tried to pull away from a curveball. It struck his bat, bounced off for a foul. Two strikes. Apparently Temple thought it was a fastball, but it broke in on his bat. He didn't have an opportunity to pull it out there. Two strikes account, so Pierce now way ahead of the batter. Nelly Fox makes a bluff over towards second to keep McMillan from taking too big a lead away from second base. All right, ready now as Billy Pierce looks to second. A pitch, fastball high. And it's one ball. Two strikes.

One and two.

Pierce out there looking into Yogi Bar. McMillan keeps pumping that bat. Kell is backed up at third, guarding the foul line. Villain edges away the pitch, is fouled on the basket, up near the photographers, back of the first baseline and up above the American League dugout. So the count is one ball, two strikes, two outrunner at second, no score, top of the third. And the fans, of course, here today, the National League fans are waiting for the vauded National League power to explode. And the American League fans are here to see. Well, the American League has some power, too. Curveball driven out into right center field. It's going in for a base hit. Here's McMillan making the turn at third. McMantle's throw is coming in. And it is cut off. And the first run of the ball game is registered by the National League. A Little Texas League single out into right center field for Johnny Temple drives in the first run of the ball game. So Roy McMillan from the Cincinnati Red Legs drew the walk, sacrificed over by Bob Friend of the Pittsburgh Pirates. And Johnny Temple of the Cincinnati Red Leg, singling in the right center to bring him home. Here's Frank Robinson up there, Struck out his last time. Right hand bat of the pitch, Swings on this one, fouls it over the top of the roof. Score. National League 1 and the American League nothing.

Outrun at first. The outfield pull to the left with Mantle a few steps over in left center. Williams deep in left field. Al Kaline around in right center. The pitch is a fastball inside and it's one ball, one strike. Well, Billy Pierce was going right along until he issued the walk and the sacrifice and the single. Temple leads away from first. The pitch to Robinson, takes a swing and a fastball fouls it off. And it's one and one.
Baseball Color Commentator
Well, the way these two ball clubs
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
are built, and with the great managers they both have in, Walt Austin of the National League and Casey Stengle the American League, it is reasonable to assume that today's game may certainly go as long as last year's battle up in Milwaukee, which was won in the 12th inning by Stan, the man with the big swing. So it's one ball, two strikes, the run at first leads away. There's a swing and a miss for strike three. That's all for Frank Robinson and the National League. In the third inning, they pick up one run from one hit, no errors and one man left on. So at the end of two and a half innings to play this score is The National League 1, the American League nothing. Say, if you think firemen are the fastest dressers in the world, you ought to see these ball players after a game. Boy, they're in and out of that locker room in nothing flat. Especially when they've got a tight schedule. That's one reason most of them use the Gillette Super Speed Razor. And why so many have switched to those Instant Lather shaving creams. They tell me that one out of four men who use shaving cream go for instant lathers. And I believe the percentage is higher among ball players. Instant lathers have it for men in a hurry. And you can say that again for Gillette Pomi. Touch the nozzle. There's your cream. Rich, full of moisture. Just spread it on your face and shave. There's speed for you and you can't beat it. For convenience, a lot of men say there's just nothing like Gillette Foamy for comfort too. And with it you get an important extra that's K34, an exclusive antiseptic that destroys harmful bacteria on your face. If you're an Instant Lather man, this is for you. And if you haven't used Instant Lather, Foamy is sure worth a trial. 79 cents gets you a three month supply. How can you lose? Moving into the last half of the third inning for the American League, George Cal. The five strikeouts by Billy Pierce misses by one the record of six in an All Star game held by color Carl Hubble, Vandermeer and Jensen. So I thought we might pass that along to you folks. George Cal is in there. The first pitch from Bob Friend is going outside for a ball. Cal swings over a clothes stance wearing the Baltimore uniform which has orange and black socks. Friend with a big kick and the fastball that's a little outside. Ball two. And we're going to have our first pinch hitter of the ball game since Billy Pierce worked his three innings. We will have a pinch hitter for Pearson that looks like Harry Simpson of the Kansas City A's. There's a swing and a drive keeping

is Frank Robinson near the fence. Reaches up and he grabbed it. Line drive off the bat of George Cal. Frank Robinson backed up about 360ft away, reached up over the top of the six and a half foot fence and snared it. So Cal lines to Robinson in left field. Harry Simpson of the Kansas City Athletic will now bat for Billy Pierce. Simpson has a.304 batting average. He has 61 RBIs. He has 12 home runs. Swings over a very close stance. Friend delivers. There's a swing and a miss. First strike. Harry started out in San Diego, played with Cleveland, now with Kansas City, and since he's switched to glasses, has really found himself. The pitch by Friend is a fastball on the outside corner for a strike. Mr. Friend is very deceptive. He really pumps that ball through there. Here's the pitch. Swing and the pitch is dropped. Bailey makes the throw down a first. So it's a strikeout for Bob Friend on Harry Simpson. Warren Spahn is starting to loosen up in the National League bullpen. So Simpson batting for Billy Pierce, strikes out. And for Bob Friend, that is his third strikeout. And the assist, of course, the play going 2, 3, with Bailey throwing to the first baseman, Harvey Keene. A ground ball to left side going through out into left field for a base hit. Keane wrapping a curveball between the third Basin Boyer and the shortstop McMillan getting a base hit. That's the second hit of the game for the American League. And the batter now is Nelly Fox. Nelly, pound for pound, is one of the great competitors in American sports. And his little blooper just a few years ago over in Cleveland, in the presence of the big swinging men, was the deciding blow of the ball game. In close at third is Boyer. Nelly, who's a great bunner, chokes up a little on the bat. The pitch by Friend is a fastball. Hind outside for a ball. Harvey Keen on it first. The score is National League 1, the American League Nothing. We're in the last half of the third inning. Two out, one ball. Account not feel straight away. Keane leads away. The pitch. There's a swing and a slashed foul going up into the upper deck back of third. Bob Friend, with the new ball, turns his back to the batter, Nelly Fox. Nelly gets that left foot right back in that restraining line, keeps pumping that bat. Friend looks to Keane at first. The pitch to Fox. There's a swing and a ground ball hit through the opposite side with left field line and it is a base hit. So Nelly Fox hitting the ball to the opposite side, hit by the short stop and the third baseman in left field. And the American League have two men on, two men out, and Ted Williams is up. Williams is certainly enjoying aggressive year and has always been one of the fine examples to the youngsters of America and is only apropos that Ted should have been chosen and accepted to be the leader of the Jimmy Fund in Boston this year. The outfield pull to the right. Right side of the infield deep. And the infield shift is on for Williams. A curveball for a strike. The shortstop is on the right side of second base. The second base, halfway between second and first and long is about four steps off the foul line. Deep at first, keen on it second. Nelly Fox on at first. The batter's Ted Williams. One strike to pitch. A curveball let up. Curve is way outside. 1 and 1. Williams in batting practice, stroked a couple over that high fence out in right center field. Where's the shin guard? A short job, about 10 inches on his right leg to keep from fouling the ball off his foot. All right. Boyer is over near third. A fastball outside. So it's two balls, one strike, the batter, Ted Williams. The National League with the infield shift on vacate practically the entire area that the shortstop covers from halfway between second and third towards second base, with Boyer shaded over near the hole at short. Here's a swing and a foul by Williams and it now two and two. They invite Williams to hit to the left side. All three infielders on the right side are on the edge of the outfield grass. And out in right field, Stan Musial is practically up against the wall. Bob Friend is ready. Here's the pitch to Williams. He swings the ground ball to the right side. Dale Long in for it. He waves off. The pitcher steps on first and the side is retired. So Williams grounds out to the first baseman in the third inning for the American League. No runs, two hits, no errors and two men left on and at the end of the third inning, the score is the National League 1, the American League nothing. Whitey Ford is now coming on to do the pitching for the American League as the National Leaguers wait with Sam Musial standing over near the on deck circle for the National League. As Whitey, the left hander from the New York Yankees moves in. So Casey Stengel is certainly going with his prescribed pattern of throwing at least two left handers against the National Leaguers. Billy Pierce worked three innings, gave up one run. He was charged with two hits. He walked only one batter who came back to haunt him. And he struck out a total of five. Pierce got Robinson twice, he struck out Temple once. He got bell and long and outside of the base on balls. And the single by Johnny Temple. He had almost a perfect performance. Whitey Ford now stepped up in there. Whitey from the New York Yankees has been in 17 games in the American League so far this year. Worked 118 innings. He has given up 106 hits, walked 43, struck out 65. He has won 10 while losing 4, and has a fine earned run average of 2.44. Though Whitey Ford will take over for the American Leaguers as we move into the top of the fourth inning and Sam Musial comes up. Musial bounced out short to first his first time up yesterday. Stan was honored as the player of the decade. Stan the man got the nickname from the Brooklyn fans who became a little tired of seeing the great Museul constantly defeat their team. And they kept referring to him as. There's that man stands in there, Whitey Fox. Ford's ready. Here's the pitch. And it's a curve outside low for ball one. The American Leaguers have Ted Williams in left field, Mandel in center, Al Kaline in right, Cal at third, Keen at short, Fox at second and Mickey Verne at first. Here's Ford's next delivery to Musial. A curve that catches the outside corner for a strike. One ball, one strike. Musial holding that bat right on the end, cocked away from his left ear, takes a swing and he misses for one and two. One ball, two strikes. Fans have not had many opportunities yet to really let go. Here's the pitch by Ford. A curveball foul back just below us. And the count remains one ball, two strikes. Whitey's given names are Edward Charles, born October 21, 1928. He's 5, 10 and a half, weighs 175 pounds. He's ready to work. And here's the pitch to Musial fastball strike. Musil just nods his head, says, yes, sir. So Whitey Ford continues that string of strikeouts. He adds one to the five that Billy Pierce had. And that's the six strikeout against the National Leaguers today. The batter is Ken Boyer. He got the first of two hits by the National Leaguers today, a single in the second inning. He was thrown out when with two out in Bailey at bat, he tried to go to second bar throw down to Keane was in plenty of time. The outfield respectfully pulls to the Left for young Mr. Boyer. And the pitch by Whitey Ford is a curved strike, left side of the infield backed up. You can hear Nelly Fox perhaps in the background chirping it up. Deep in left center is Mickey Mantle. Here's the pitch by Ford. It's a curve that's high. And it's one ball, one strike. Ford is appearing in his third All Star game. He's ready to work. The 11 delivery is a ground ball to the left side. Keane moves to his left, can't quite get to it, and it rolls out in the left field for a base hit. Harvey Keane is playing despite some pull ligaments in his right foot. And Harvey says, they'd have to carry me out there on a stretcher to keep me from playing in this game. Today we're going to have a pinch hitter for the National League. Willie May is being sent up for Gus Bell.

Casino So Willie Mays comes on to bat for Gus Bell here in the fourth inning. Willie is currently hitting.288. He has 13 home runs. He swings from an open stance, his right foot right back in a restraining line. Left foot back pointed down towards the shortstop. The outfield pull the left. Ford looks to Boyer at first. He goes to first with a throw and safe at first. Whitey has had great success this year. Picking runners off at first. Boyer edges away again. He goes to first and back safely. This is the top of the fourth. Here's the pitch to the plate. Swing by Willie Mays and he misses. Well, that swing on a start. A little breeze blowing out there in center field. Willie was out to really wrap that one. Boyer at first leads away. One out. The pitch to Ma. The curveball, he drives it deep in the left side of field.

Willie Mays has just put the National League ahead three to one with a drive into the left center field bleachers. Well over the 360 foot fence. It must have gone up about 50ft. Well, he gave it a good ride there. Now for the National League is Day along the first baseman, nobody on one out looks at a fastball. It's a little outside for ball one and you can hear the buzzing now as the explosion of the power of the National League begins to show itself. The pitch.

Swing. But too late to strike. Fans are still buzzing on that explosion that has put two big runs up there for the National Leaguers. The pitch by Waddy Ford today long. He gets strike to a curve. Changed his mind, but it caught the outside corner. National League leads three to nothing. Top of the fourth inning, one out, nobody on long to be followed by Bailey. There's a drive deep in the right field, foul on top of the roof and drops down in there. That is Willie Mays first home run in All Star competition. This is his third game and I believe that's his fourth hit. He was batting.600. There's a swing and a miss for strike three. Day along goes down swinging. Second strikeout for Whitey Ford. The seventh against the American. The National Leaguers today and Ed Bailey, the catcher who fouled out to the first basement, Mickey Varn in the third inning, steps in. Two out. Nobody on top of the fourth and the score. National League 3, the American League nothing. Whitey Ford looks to Bailey. Left hand batter pumps a fastball on outside for ball one. Willie made his way. First home run in All Star Game competition. A very prominent one. Ford is ready. The one ball pitch, outside curveball, ball two. So it's two nothing. To out. George Cal moving in a few steps at third base, shouting out to his pitcher. Here's Ford's delivery to Bailey. He pulls back. And Texas wing for ball three. He was going to take a swing. He changed his mind. And the fans are buzzing. He looks down to third base. Coach Freddie Hudson now. Whitey Ford with a three nothing pitch. Comes with a high outside curveball. And it is ball. So the walk is issued to Bailey. And that is the first walk given up by Whitey Ford. That's the second of the ball game, at least by American League pitchers. And the batter now is Roy McMillan, the shortstop from the Cincinnati Red Legs who walked in the third, sacrificed the second by Friend and came on to score with Temple. Single into right center field. Marty Ford looks to first. Mickey Vernon holds against Bailey. The pitch to the no, the throw to first and almost had him. There's that very deceptive throw by Whitey Ford. And he almost got Bailey. Here's the pitch. A fastball on inside. So it's one ball. And of course, with battery mate Yogi Berra working on the other end of that line, Yogi can give it to Whitey when he figures that the runner is too far off. Mickey Vernon holds against the runner. Bailey this time keeps rather close. There's a curve. Ground foul out in front of the plate. One ball on strike. Two out and one on. And we are in the top of the fourth. National Acres got one run in the third inning. Walker sacrifice in a single. And they have added two here in the the fourth inning. After one out, a single by Boyer and a home run by Willie Mays batting for Gus Bell. Ford goes to first again. Back safely. Outfield shades around the left for McMillan, wearing number 11. Here's the pitch. A fastball. It's high. One strike. Next offering outside. And it is three and one with two out. On deck for the national league. Looks like Rip for a pokey of the St. Louis Cardinals. There's a strike, a curve on the outside corner. So the count is three balls, two strikes, two out, one on. And this will be a rather big pitch. Whitey Ford looks to Yogi Barra. Ed Bailey edges away. There he goes. There's a pitch A ground ball to the left side. Hit out through the left side of the infield. Going on the left field. Ted Williams in for keeps. Set. Bailey on at second. So McMillan bounces a single through the left side of the infield. That is hit number three of Whitey Ford. And Rip Rapulski is coming up. Rip Rapalski is going to bat for the pitcher, Bob Friend. Jim Wilson is working in the American League bullpen. A right hander, Rapulski with an open stance, holds a bat right on the end. The pitch by Whitey Ford. A fastball right down the middle. 4. Strike one. Bailey on at second. McMillan on at first. National League is leading three to nothing. The pitch by Wattie Ford is swung on and a foul hit on top of the roof. Out into right field. Hits the edge of the roof and will come down in the stands. So the count is two. Strikeski with a.335 batting average, takes the swing and pops it. And coming back is Yogi Berra. He's still moving around. The wind carries it. He's got it. So Repulski fouls out to Yogi Berra. And in the fourth inning for the National League, two runs on one, two, three hits. There were no errors and two men left on base. And at the end of three and a half innings to play, the score, the National League 3, the American League. Nothing. Warren Spawn is on the mound now for the National League. And Willie Mays playing in center field. And the batter for the American League is Mickey Mantle. Batting from the right side, takes outside from Warren Spawn. Ball one. Warren from the National League Milwaukee Braves into his wind. Up and the pitch on the way to Mickey Mantle. Takes a swing and he misses for a strike.

Oren Spawn, on the season so far from Milwaukee, has won seven while losing seven. Has an earned run average of 2.81 left arm comes around the kick and a blazing fastball swung on and foul. So it's one ball, two strikes. The National League's lead is three runs. They lead the American League three to nothing. Jim Wilson continues to work in the American League bullpen. Ricky Mantle a batter. Mantle last time up. Struck out. Here's the 12 pitch. Mantle takes the swing and he misses on a change up. So Mantle swinging from the right side, strikes out from the left side. He was called out and strikes it one away. The batter now is Yogi Bara. Yogi has one of the three hits, a single into left field. Willie Mays in center for the National League. Stan Musial in right in left field is Frank Robinson. Warren Spawn into his wind up the left arm, comes around with a fastball. Strike to Yogi Barra. Ed Bailey still doing the catching for the National League All Stars. Bond is ready to work. The pitch to Barra. Takes a swing and hits a ground ball. Back out over second. Going back there is the second baseman. Johnny Temple. Gets it, but can't make a throw. And so Yogi Berra gets his second hit of the ball game. A single. Back out over second base. So Yogi has 2 for 2 on the day. And the batter now is Al Kaline. This youngster, as you know, is the defending American League batting champion. And he is the youngest to win at the American League. He beat Ty Cobb by one day. Warren Spahn pitching from the stretch. Looks the runner at first. The pitch to Kaline is a popper out in the center field. Mickey, Willie Mays is out there and he's got it. Willie moved in about a step, so there's two out. While we wait for the next fighter, let's pause 10 seconds for station identification. This is Mutual Radio Network for all America.

We move now into the top half the fifth inning and we're going to have a new pitcher for the American League. Whitey Ford worked only one inning and he gave up two runs on three hits. He walked one and he struck out two. Billy Pierce who started worked three innings for the American League, gave up one run on two hits, walked one, struck out five. So the veterans right hander who should be well acquainted with most of the National League batters coming on from the Chicago White Sox pitching staff. Jim Wilson, The Gillette Safety Razor company mighty proud to be bringing you this All Star Game as another dedication of giving you the very best in sport. Jim Wilson now gets together with Yogi Berra out on the pitchers mound to get straightened away on their signs. And waiting to see what's going to happen is Johnny Temple who will be the first man up here in the top of the fifth inning. James Alger Wilson, born February 20, 1922 at San Diego. 61195 pounder fits no run, no hit game against the Philadelphia Phillies, June 12, 1954. He allowed two base on balls and fan six. This is Jim's first All Star game. He was at Baltimore in 1955, Milwaukee in 55, Milwaukee 53, Boston the National League in 52. So Jim Wilson, number 30, a right hander and the first right hander to be used today by the American League comes in and the first batter he'll face will be Johnny Temple who swings from the right side. Temple had one hit in two times at bat against Billy Pierce. He did not face Whitey Ford. He drove in a run. Outfield's around the left and deep. Williams in left, Mandel in center and in right field is Alkaline. Alkaline. The pitch is a bunch down the third baseline coming in at George Cal grabs it, makes the throw. It is too late. Go. Johnny Temple meets out a bunch along the third baseline. And that is the first hit off Jim Wilson. And that is hit number six for the National League. Duke Snider is coming up to bat for Frank Robinson. So the Cards are falling right into Major Walson's lap with a right hander do up there. Duke Snyder comes up the Duker from the Brooklyn Dodgers. The throw to first by Wilson, back safely is Johnny Temple Duke wearing number four, wearing the light blue lettering of the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Blue Sox. Duke is hitting.295, currently has 19 home runs and 43 runs batted in. Duke. Snyder. There's a pitch by Wilson and low and inside. A curveball and it's ball one. Duke. Snyder stepped out of the box when he found the scoreboard had given him a couple of counts that he did not particularly want without being delivered to. Throw to first by the pitcher. Jim Wilson is back safely as the runner. Johnny Temple Snyder waiting. And the pitch is taken for ball two. So the Dukers up there, Two balls they count. Wilson again takes his stretch, looks to first, delivers a swing and a miss. And Snyder was trying to slap that ball deep in the right field. The outfield is deep. The wind now has shifted a little bit. It's blowing from left to right, from left field to right field. In close at third is George Kell. About two steps off the edge of the infield grass. Keene is shaded over near second and Fox is halfway between second and first. Mantle deep in right center. The runner first leads away. Here's the 21 pitch to Snyder. Fastball. Strike 2 on the outside corner, just below the bell. This is Duke's sixth All Star Game. Seven times at bat. Has three hits, 429 average. Throw to first, back safely.

The pitch.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
There's a swing and a fly ball hit into left field. Williams with his glasses down, moves in, has range and he takes it. So Duke Schneider flies to Ted Williams in short left field. And it brings up the number three batter in the National League lineup, Stan Muzio. Stan bounced out short to first in the first inning off Billy Pierce. He struck out against Whitey ford in the fourth. So Stan Musial is in there with his St. Louis Cardinal uniform. Stan does a sort of a little hula just before he gets ready to take a look at that first pitch. Throw to first by Wilson. Back safely again is Johnny Temple. Musial hunched over, looks after the mound. Now Wilson, the right hander, delivers. There's a curveball, swung on foul off of his instep of his right foot. So we have one out, one on, and the National League hanging on to a three to nothing score over the American Leaguers. National Leaguers have won five out of the last six, all Star games played. The American League holds the overall percentage with a 13 victories and nine defeats. Wilson's ready again. Looks the run at first. The throw to first back safely. So Jim Wilson is taking no chances on Johnny Temple moving off again. Temple leads away. Wilson, the right hander, looks to first. The pitch to Musial. A ground ball gloved by Wilson, bounces off his glove. He recovers, makes the throw out at first. Musial and drilled one right back at the mound. Wilson knocked it down with his glove, bounced off and bounced halfway back to the mound. Wilson down off the mound, recovered in time to throw at first base. There's no sacrifice in that play. Goes one three. There's two out. The National League has a runner on at second with Temple moving to second

base,
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
who has two for two. Ken had a single in the second inning and he's single in the fourth and rode home on Willie May's home run. Umpire Charlie Berry working the plate, representing the American League. And at the end of four and a half innings, he will switch with umpire Babe Pinelli. Ed Hurley of the American League at second. Artie Gore, the National League at first. All right, the pitch is on the way to Boyer. He takes his swing and loops one out into right center field. It's going to drop in there for a base hit. Here is Temple turning for third and he'll make it. And he comes around with a plate to score. It was a little blooper hit out into short right center field. Mantle, who was fairly deep in left center, and Kaline, who was in right center ball converged on the ball along with Nelly Fox. No chance to get it. And Temple, who can streak, comes on the score. So that is another hit for young Ken Boyer. His third of the ball game. And the National Leaguers now move out of head, four to nothing. The batter's Willie Mays one time, up one home run. The pitch. There goes the runner. Popped up and it's coming back out of play foul. Boyer had taken off. So Wilson gives up two hits and he gives up one run. And all three pitchers that have been on the mound today for the American League have been nicked. Billy Pierce worked three, gave up one run. Ford worked one, gave up two runs. And Wilson, who's worked 2/3 of an inning, has given up one run off two hits. Mays, right hand batter, number 24 on his giant uniform. The runner at first leads away. Wilson's ready, delivers. And there's a swing and a miss. And Willie loses his cap. Nice catch by Willie. He swung out from under his cap. It bounced up in the air, came down and he did sort of a vaudeville routine with it. Just skipping it right off there. Fans got a buzz out of that. Two strikes to Willie. Two out. Ken Boyer on at first base, deep at third, guarding that foul line. Willie Mays waiting. Here's the pitch now throw to first. Back safely. Look after the bullpen. There's a right hander working for the American League. Here's the curveball. It's over for a strike. Willie pointed the plate and it is strength three call. So for the National League in the top of the fifth inning. One run on, two hits, no errors and one man left on. And at the end of four and a half billion supply, the score is the National League 4 and the American League nothing. An automatic contribution when you buy your Gillette razor now. Well, this is Bob Neal. It's been my pleasure to take you over the first four and a half innings. And it's now also my pleasure to present you to the youngster who will carry over the last. And that's the young man who works the Washington Senators here during the regular season. And it is my pleasure to present now, Bob Wolf.
Baseball Color Commentator
Thank you very much, Bob Neal. We have some changes now in the defensive alignment for the National League. Snyder stays in the ball game on the center field spot. Willie Mays has moved from center field over to right field. And Stan Musial has gone from right field to left field. So the defensive alignment for the National League in the outfield is now museum left. Snyder in center and Mays in right field. We also have changes in the umpiring assignments now with Dave Pinelli now at the plate, Charlie Berry now at third base, Marty Gore at second base and Ed Hurley at third base. All set to go as Warren Spawn looks in where George Kell is waiting at the plate. Kell is 0 for 1 in this game. And the first pitch is a called strike one. The curveball on the outside corner by Warren Spawn. Cal last time up line. One out to deep left and Robinson took it out near the fence. Right out there. Now there's a new left fielder, Stan Musial. Cal waits, he punts. And it goes foul outside the third baseline. Strike two to George Kell of the Baltimore Orioles. Went from Baltimore to Baltimore from Chicago in that mid June trade. This is a six All Star Game lifetime batting average prior to the season of.310. Count as two strikes. He swings. There's a slow grounder going out to McMillan, the shortstop. He's up with it the throw to first base, to Long and Kell is out number one on the home fifth. So there's one away in the home fifth is the score of the ball game is National League 4 and the American League nothing. And now coming up, Billy Martin is coming up. Is a pinch hitter in the ball game. Paul Wilson. Billy Martin of the New York Yankees in his first All Star game. A right handed batter, 28 years old. Been a great clutch hit up with the Yankees steps in and the first pitch is over on a curve for called strike to Philly Martin. Going into the All Star game, Martin is batting.270 for New York with four homers and 23 runs. Battle in, he wears number one on his uniform. Strike one.

The count.
Baseball Color Commentator
The left hander ready. The pitch is wide and the count now is one and one to number one with one out in this home field. Billy Martin the batter, they're playing him around slightly toward left. Jam packed crowd watching the ball game this afternoon spawns pitch. A fastball which is over at the knees for a called strike two. And Martin steps out just a bit, smooths the dirt now, decides to pick some up, get a bit of grip on that bat. It's a warm humid afternoon here in the nation's capital. Good old fashioned baseball weather. Two strikes in the ball to count. Martin grips that bat right down at the end. Here comes Spawn's pitch. It's a ground ball going out to McMillan. The shortstop off with it, over the first base to Long and they are two away in identical fashion from short to first. Two outs in the home fifth as Harvey Keane, who is lined out to Ken Boyer who made a terrific play back in the first inning and since has singled to left field, comes up for the third time. Harvey Keane stepping in. Where's number seven in his uniform? He's playing as Bob told you, despite that bad leg. He takes a called strike. Hobbles just a bit when he runs defensively. But of course he has that great eye at the plate and he wanted to be in this game come what may. This is his fourth allstar game. Husky right handed batter. The pitch to change up and there's a ground ball. Boyer drives for it, comes up with the ball. Mahop throws the third play out. Ken Boyer with two situating plays this afternoon. Now it's a hard hit ball inside of third. Boyer took a headlong dive. Speed it on the hop. Throw to first base. And Keen is out to retire the side. Three up and three down in the home fifth. And the score of the ball games after five innings of play. The National League four. The American League. Nothing.

Bera's right hand on the foul and Yogi now is holding on to that hand. Looked like it hit the back of his fingers there. And George Chell, the third baseman is coming in to look at it as Yogi goes out to the mound of Brewer. That really stung him. But of course Barrow wants to stay in there. He is not called to help however. Cal as motion to trainer John Fadden who is the American League trainer from the Boston Red Sox to come out and look at Yogi Berra.

Baseball Color Commentator
Two successive homers by the American League. Listen to this cloud here. As excitement mounts, Walt Austin is coming up out of the National League dugout and going out to the mount. Mickey Mantle limping just a bit as he came around the bases. But you don't have to run fast when you get them in the seats. They were in the new seats up there just clearing that fence. And some fan has a very fine souvenir of this occasion. Austin has gone out there to the mound. He's joined by Bailey and of course by the pitcher, Warren Spawn. And we'll see whether or not Spawn does or does not continue as the American League has come to life here in the six with three successive hits, a single and two homers in a row. And that will be all it appears, for Warren Spawn. Walt Austin still out there at the mound. And all of a sudden the tempo of this ball game has been accelerated. And at the same time the American League getting into that scoring column for the first time in dramatic fashion. Johnny Antonelli getting set for that long walk. Here in the setting. Nelly Fox, but off with a base hit. Single out into left center field. Then Ted Williams with that towering homer into the bullpen out in right center field. And Mantles line shot into the new seats. And left center has given the American League three quick runs to put them within two of the National Leaguers. Johnny Antonelli. The New York Giants is coming in. Spawn in the two innings he worked, giving up four hits, no walks, struck out one, gave up three runs, all earned. Antonelli coming in the ball game here in the sixth. Johnny Antonelli in a second All Star game. His seventh year in the majors. Pros left, bats left. He's 26 years old, six 190 pounds. Won 14 last season. But in 1954. He won 21 for New York with an earned run average of 2.29, which led the majors. Then from Rochester, New York, going into today's game, he had eight wins and seven losses. And number 43 of New York, Johnny Antonella, is now warming up as Spawn has left the scene of action. He's joined now by Walt Alton, who's going back into the National League dugout. Well, the dramatic aspects of this game are something to behold. And in an All Star competition with such tremendous sluggers as we have witnessed this afternoon having been assembled here, a ball game can change in rapid fashion. The National League coasting behind a five nothing lead as the American League suddenly erupted with those two big names, outstanding home run hitters in baseball. Ted Williams and Mickey Mantle thrilling the crowd with successive round trippers. Sherm Lawler now comes up out of the dugout to pinch it for Yogi Berra, who stayed in there despite getting cracked on the back of his fingers and had two hits while he was in the ball game, plus some fine defensive play. So Sherm Lawler now comes in here in the six. The bat for Bearer. Lawler of the Chicago White Sox wears number 10 in his uniform. His third All Star game. He's looking for his first hit. He has no hits, no official at bats. 11th year in the majors. Comes from Arkansas. Right handed batter steps in, swings and fouls. The first pitch box for strike one. Johnny Atenelli is on the mound. Strike one to Sher Mueller, batting.313, going with the classic with six homers, 44 runs batted in. He spirals the pitch and the bat slips out of his hand off to the left. Germ getting the bat back from the bat. Boy. Here's a fellow who sees a lot of action for the Chicago White Sox. And before stepping back in, he gets the rosin bag from the arm deck. Batter al K line who is off to the right, kneeling down. Score of the ball game, the National League 5. The American League 3 is the American League. The home team bots here in the home six. There's nobody out. Lawler steps back in. Count two strikes. Atenelli delivers. It's a curve. Missing in the outside corner. On the count now is two strikes and ball one. They're playing. Lawler slightly pulled around toward left with Muzio playing a deep left field for him. Here comes the pitch and there goes the ball hit into short center field. It is drifting in there for a base hit. Lawler getting a base hit in a short center field. Duke Snyder came in to feel it. The catching department at the American League has had three for three, two for Bera, now one for Laller. And here's Al Kaline coming up, His second All Star game. Out twice as fly to center field. He won the batting title last year. Right handed batter. The pitch. There's a hard ground for him. Hold on a field for a hit for K line. Lawler moves to second base.

Nikki Vernon coming up. A single by Fox, a homer, two run homer by Williams, a homer by Matto and successive hits now by Lawler and Kaline against Johnny Antonelli. The new pitcher in the ball game has put the tying run on first base for the American League. Big Power has just been hauled up to bat for Mickey Vernon. Mickey Vernon is a tremendous favorite here in the nation's capital and therefore there's a rather mixed reaction because the folks like to see Mickey Vernon in action. But here's a great hitter coming up to supplant him at the plate and a right handed batter, which is the reason for the change being made in. Vic Power was batting for Mickey Vernon. So Vic Power steps in of the Kansas City A's, batting here in this big six inning. Here's a slight crotch of the plate and a curve misses on the outside. It's ball one. This is Power's second All Star game, his third year in the majors. He's a handy guy, can play the infield and the outfield. At.319 last season.294 going into the game. He jumps back from an inside pitch which comes in low two power.294 average with four homers, 29 runs. Battled in from Puerto Rico. Plays ball all year round. Ball to the count. The pitch is over on the outside corner for a called strike. And it's two balls. Strike one. Lawler is on second, Kaline on first. And there's nobody out. The American League has erupted with five base hits in a row, including two homers. Antonelli comes in with a pitch. There goes the ball into short left. Going back for it is McMillan coming in as Muzio Muzio calls. And he has it. That's the first out now on the home six as George Cal, who was lined out to deep left and grounded out, comes up for the third time, batting the number eight spot for the American Leaguers. Cal grips that bat in rather unique fashion. You can see wood between the grip of his. His two fists on the bat style that Ty Cobb used so successfully when he was also squatting out those sets. Puts the bat with hands apart just slightly. And here's a fellow who can hit pretty well to all fields. Robertson. Lawrence warming up to the National Leaguers. Kell sends a foul off to the left going into the. Strike. One to George Chell. Up for the third time, Comes from Swift in Arkansas. American League batting King back in 1949. Adinelli's pitch is low and scooped up by Ed Billy, the catcher, as it went toward the dirt. One and one to Cal runners Lawlor and K Line. There's one away. The infield playing at double play depth. Outfield slightly pulled around toward left. There's a sign now from Bailey. Antonelli with a stretch, the pause and the pitch. A fastball. It's a ground and going out to McMillan. Over to Temple for one. Back to Kosowski for two. A double play. Side retired here in this big six inning. In this frame, the American League has come up with 3 runs, 5 hits, no errors, 9 left the score after 6 innings of this thrilling ball game at Washington. The National League is five, the American Leaguers three. Don't forget, buy the only pen with a built in spare. Refill the new PaperMate Capri. Only $1.95. Two points, two ink supplies. And their piggyback changes now as we move into the seventh inning. Vic Power is at first base now in the seventh inning. And Lawler is catching.

Duke Snyder comes up. There are three number sevens in the American League lineup. Keen, power and Mantle. Snyder looks at a called strike at home run that was hit by Williams in the home six. With his fourth and All Star play tying Stan Musial for that coveted record. Duke's knight of the batter. Left handed batter. He swings. The misses on a curveball from Tom Brewer or strike two. This is Duke's seventh All Star game and his tenth year in the majors. Lifetime batting average over.300. Here comes the pitch and he jumps back from an inside one to make the count. Two strikes and a ball. Big Duke comes from California last season by the.309 with 42 homers and 136 runs batted in to lead the league. 19 homers going into the All Star Classic. 43 runs batted in, the.295 average. The pitch comes in low to the Duke who now steps up. On the count is two and two to Duke. Snider with Stan Musial on deck is the seventh inning. The National League leading the American League by a score of 5 to 3 in the all Star Classic at Griffith Stadium in Washington. Brewer delivers a curve. It's missed. And Snider goes down swinging on the strikeout. One out in the seventh inning and Stan the man comes up. Stan Ual. His 13th All Star game, his 15th year in the majors. That's famous Mule Crouch there. There goes a fly ball, a deep left. Williams is going back. It's going up. It's a home run for Mule. Dan Musial with a home run into the new seats and left just a couple of rows back in left center. And the odd part about that is that Ted Williams, who had just previously tied Musial for the record, now watches the ball sail up over. Sends him to the seats as Musial again forges out in front with his fifth All Star homer. Here's Ken Bowyer. The National League now leads by a score of 6 to 3. First pitch drives Boyer back from the plate. Ball one. Man, these fellows can hit. Time has called. Billy Martin is going down to the bullpen in right center for the American League. And while he's going down there across the field and time has been called at the moment, Sherlock goes out to speak to Brewer. Now he's coming back this Boyer has made two great defensive plays and at the plate he has three hits and an rb. Here comes the pitch and he cuts and misses. Boyer leads the league in RBIs and hits for the National League.321 Average before the ball game and he's been starring in the game. One and one the count and there's a high foul going up on top of the roof outside the left field line his tracks. And ball one to Ken Boyer. Well, we've seen some great names come through with homers today. Williams, Mantle, Musial and Mays. Here's the pitch and it's inside for a ball. Canis 2 and 2 to Ken Boyer, who comes from the large Boyer family. Boyer and Cloyd Boyer, fine ball players. There's a ground ball going after the shortstop, Keane. The throw over to first base to Power and Boyer is out. Number two in the top of the seventh is Willie Mays with a two run homer in the fourth inning. Comes up Willie up for the third time. His homer went halfway up on the bleachers. Now he struck, got his last time up. Jimmy Pearsall, another great outfielder, is not in the game yet, but ready if needed. There's a pitch wide. We've seen some great defensive players today as well as batting stalwarts. Mays, of course, center fielder, who's now moved over to the right field spot. There's a pitch coming in long, kind of ball two to Willie Mays. Two out, one run across in the seventh inning on Musial's homer.

A pitch from the inside corner. A good hook by Brewer. Stan Musial showing his power by hitting the opposite side field here in Griffith Stadium for that round tripper. The pitch. And Ma watches it closely as it comes in. Low count now is ball three and strike one. The Maze, number 24 of the new York Giants. Here comes the next one from Brewer. And it comes in wide as Ma draws a walk. And that brings up another feared slugger, Ted Blesewski. Big Blue doubled to left back in the six inning, making his entrance there. Then he later came around to score on a base hit by McMillan, moving him to third one at a short right, just eluding Vernon. And he scored on a wild pitch. Pazewski steps in with Mays on first base. Willie takes a good sized lead. Brewer looks over, there goes, goes Mays. And Klosinski lines one on the pitch to right field. Going into the right field corner given by Kaline. Mays is rounding third. He's on the way of the plate. He scores. And Mays came across to score by the time that Vic Power, who was the cutoff man in the play, hoping to be the relay man on the play, took the ball close to the line between first and second there as a throw came in from K line. Power got it, he fumbled it slightly, but he had no chance even to relay the ball to the plate as Mays off and running in the pitch, streaked all the way around to score. And Kosooski went into second base. Kazewski gets a double, a second of the afternoon and RBI as Mays scored. And boy, there was he traveling. That brings up Ed Bailey with Glasiewski on second. And the pitch is a called strike. Score of the ball game. The Nationals 7, the American League 3. Billy the batter and he takes high one and one. Herb score warming up for the American League and Brooks Lawrence for the National League. Tom Brewer with a stretch of paws to look at. Big clue. And the pitch is missed as Bailey takes a cut at 1. Coming in on the outside corner. Pasuski really ripped that one to right. It took off like a shot. And May is also running with streaking around the bases and made it home. Two strikes, ball one. Bailey waits. Here's the pitch. And it hits in the dirt in front of Lawler on the way to third bases. Splazewski goes in standing up. A wild pitch. Blazewski seems pretty good at moving around the bases on a wild pitch in the sixth inning. He scored on a wild pitch and now he's moved into third base. Second wild pitch by Brewer. It was the fourth American League pitcher of the afternoon. Kazewski on third. They're two away. Two runs have scored in the seventh inning. Here it comes. And it's inside for a ball. 3 and 2. It's all the way to Bailey, who's played the full game so far. He's fouled out. He's one and he's flat out to left. Left handed batter waiting. Here's the wind up and the 3 and 2 pitch on the way. There's a ground ball going to the shortstop. Up with it is keen. The throw over to Power and the side is retired. That takes care of activities in the top of the seventh inning. Two runs coming across, two Hits, no errors, a man left and a score after the top half of the seventh inning. The National League 7, the American League 3. Well, I was thinking of Jimmy before the ball game. Jimmy Pierce all. And I'm telling you, he's a handsome guy. You know they make a movie of Jimmy's life next month. An actor has played it for the lead, but Pierce all is good looking enough to play the lead himself. I won't say as Gillette razor gets the credit for that.

The Olympic fund is a contribution by Gillette. New catcher now in for the National League is Roy Campanella. The Brooklyn Dodgers comes in in the home 7. Score 7 to 3. The National League meeting. Here comes Ray Boone to bat for Brewer. Ray Boone of the Detroit Tigers, his second All Star Game. Batting 252 with 12 homers going into this one. Swings to the first pitch and it's fouled by Johnny Antonelli is on the mound. It's been friends born in Antonelli for the National League. Boone has been hampered somewhat by injuries this year. Last season he and Jackie Jensen tied to the American League. Runs back in leadership of 116 apiece. They're playing them full around toward left and deep. There's a spike. Breeze blowing out towards center. The pitch comes in low. That is one on one to Boone. Steps out, wipes his hands right handed. Batteries 32, 6ft, 185 pounds. In previous All Star appearances, he's had a.250 batting average in four bats. Ninth year in the Mages. Here's the pitch and it's a fast ball, a little wide of the plate. That is ball two and strike one to Boone. The wind keeps shifting quite a bit this afternoon. At times it's blowing to left center, times to straightaway and at times to right center. There's a foul going off to the left of home plate. On the count is now two and two. Adinelli goes to the rosin die. There have been two homers by the American League and two by the National League which have thrilled the fans so far this afternoon. There may be many more to follow. This is the home seventh with the score national seven, American three. Boone waits and the pitch is a curb which comes in high from Matinelli. Count goes to three and two. Harvey Keane is on deck. Boone had 20 homers last season. He's a long ball hitter. Slight crack to the plate. Ready now for the 3 and 2 pitch. Here's the wind up. The left hander delivers and it's fouled. Back to the screen now with a new ball going out to the mound. We pause 10 seconds for station identification. This is Mutual, the radio network for all America. Ready now for the three and two pitch. And an ellie gets the sign from Roy Campanella. Here comes the pitch. A change up and there's a line drive taken by the third baseman Boyer, who took him about 15ft behind the bag. One who was one that hugged the line. And good as odds, This Boyer Is having a great day. Here's Harvey Keane who is one for three. The pitch to Keane is down the middle for a called strike. Nine hits so far for the American League with five of them coming in the sixth and all in a row. Strike one to Keen. You followed by Nelly Fox. There goes one after short right field near the line. Maze moves. He's got it about 15 to 20ft in the right field line. Wasn't it out too deep? Mays get over there very quickly to retire Keane for out number two. That brings up Nelly Fox. It was two for three this afternoon. Here's a guy, the great batting eye. He struck out the fewest times in the league last year for any batter up as much as 400 times. And there's one on the outside corner as Fox went for it. Tried to check his swing but couldn't. It's a strike. Nelly Fox, he crowds the plate. That's one of the main reasons that he was hit so often last season. 17 that also led the league in that department. He signed up at an early age in baseball. 16. There's a pop up out near the pitchers mound. Antonelli is calling for it himself and he's got it.

You better check, please make sure you have enough. Cause a worn out blade makes shaven mighty tough. How are you fixed for b animals? Two changes coming up now as the eighth inning gets on the way. Herb scores coming in from the bullpen. He's the fifth picture that manager Casey Stengel has used in his strategy this afternoon of trying to stop these hot national the Lakers. And out in right field, Jimmy Pearsall, about whom we were speaking just a short while ago, has taken over. Herb Starr coming on now to take over the pitching assignment. Herb score of the Cleveland Indians. He was selected as a replacement for teammate Ray Norleski, who retired from the classic with an injured elbow. This is Herb's first All Star game, his second season in the majors. Big tall left hander. He's 23 years old, 6 2, 185 pounds. Comes from Rosedale, New York C116, lost 10 as a rookie last season. Last year score struck out 245 and 227 innings. Announcement just made the Pearsalls and Wright. He led the American League in whips and he's far ahead in the league strikeout department this season. He was signed as a bonus baby by the Indians in 1952. And going into the game today, score is eight wins and six losses and leads the Mages in strikeouts of 118. Roy McMillan the first man to face score and the pitch comes in low for a ball. McMillan has had a walk and two base hits. Score. A left hander delivers and there goes a pop up foul outside of first with Vic Power going over in the coach's box to pull it in. So McMillan has retired for the first time this afternoon. There have been 11 hits so far for the National League. The pitcher Johnny Adinelli

American League 3 At this point, Adinelli steps in to face the southpaw Herb Score. They're playing a rather shallow in the outfield and hit toward left. The first pitch comes in wide for a ball. This score can really fire that ball. And he's come up also with a good curveball to go with the fast one. Makes it mighty rough on the hitters. Here comes the pitch. Pitch and Anelli cuts and misses in a fastball. On the count is one and one. Williams has moved closer to that left field line. Mantle is playing a rather shallow left center and Pearsall is over in right center. Rather shallow 1 and 1. A fastball is missed as score. Pumped that one right down the middle. On the count now, two strikes in the ball. Johnny Cooks is now limbering up for the American League. Out on the bullpen in right center field. There's the sign now from Shermuller. Two strikes in the ball to count. And the pitch to Atonelli is a curve which breaks. Wide scorer confesses that he'd like a change up to go along with that fastball and the curve. And he's working on it gradually during the year, but during the course of the season he has not pitched it too many times. He does well enough with that smoking fastball and the good sharp break in the curve. There's a strikeout as Johnny Andelli misses a fastball up above the knees for out number two in the top of this eighth inning. Johnny Temple, who has 2 for 4 in the ball game, comes up. He is struck out. He's singled in a run by lining to short right center field in the third. He had a safe bunt in the fifth and he struck out in the sixth. He comes up with two away on the top of the eighth inning. Scorer starts the wind up, comes in with a curveball. It's missed by Temple for strike one. From the American League. Thompson up and the homemade will have those two big guns coming up. Williams and Mantle. The pitch is low for a ball score. Smooth the dirt out in front of the pitching rubber. Now steps back count one and one. Here's the sign now from Lawler Enfield taught meet up behind their tall left hander. The P swung on and filed off to the right going out of play. There was somewhat of a breeze a short while ago, but at the moment the flag on the center field flag pole is hanging limp out there. Two strikes ball one to Johnny Temple. We have two outs here in the top of the state. The score, National 7, the American League 3 score starts the wind up, delivers a curveball which comes in too low. And Temple backs away and steps out of the battles. Box count now goes to two and two to Johnny Temple. Temple is a fast man, a good base runner.

he had 19 stolen bases. Here's the pitch. It's wide. That makes it go all the way now to Temple. 3 and 2. You know, attaining a.400 batting average is a mighty difficult feat. But back in 1949, this young fellow playing in the Pioneer League at ogden had an even.400 batting average come up to the red legs in 1952. Waiting for the 3 and 2 pitch. Here it is and it's low and tempo draws a log. Putting a man on first now with two away in the eighth and bringing up big Duke Snider. Duke Snider steps in. He's 0 for 2. He's flat out and he's struck out.

Score.

A slow stretch in the pause, a look toward first and the pitch is fouled back to the left. Duke was given that a real big cut that time. Johnny Temple taking a pretty big lead over there on the left handed pitcher. Duke Snyder also starred in the World Series last season with four homers, seven RBI. Isn't a.320 batting average there. Very dangerous batter. Good clutch player. Has a look towards first. Temple is on the way. There's a pitch wide, lower throw is high and Temple slides in safely. Being a throw to Harvey Keane. The stone base for Johnny Temple. Well, he's a dangerous man in those bases and he demonstrated there once again. Gets in a very quick break. There's no indication is about to go. And Zoom is off and on stone base. So that means that Temple is now in scoring position. The pitch was wide as it came in that time to Snyder. One and one for the Duke. Temple moving off second base. There are two away. There's the top of the eight. Score. Stretches, pauses, looks back and then delivers. And it comes over the outside corner for a called strike. That really whizzed in there. And Snyder steps out, adjusts his cap, bounds once on the plate with the

stretches just a bit, flexes the muscles and he looks out toward the mound. Two strikes and the ball score. Ready. A curveball comes in low and wide of the plate. The count now goes to 2 and 2. The National League is leading in the ball game by a score of seven to three. They've scored in every inning. From the third inning on up to this frame. The American League's three runs came in the home six. All the result of homers. A two and homer by Williams and Mantle's round tripper. Here's the pitch and there's a high pop off. Lawler with mask off. Capoff is waiting and now grips in fair territory, Lunges for the ball and takes it. Sher la waiting for that mammoth pop up, waiting in foul territory. Lunged across fair territory to pull it in. A fine catch and the side is retired. So in this eighth inning there are no runs, no hits, no errors and one man ke left on second. And the score. After the top of the eighth inning, the National 7, the American League 3. Well, Casey Stengle is going all out to win today. And win or lose, Old Case is a great leader. And he's a past master at bringing along young ball players. Even teaches them how to look like champions. And you can bet your sweet life Stengel bears down on the importance of keeping clean shape, he says, and these are Casey's own words. I shave with the Gillette Super Speed razor and I recommend it to my boys. Let's take it from there because from I know this is the only way to get a decent shave.

Snyder waiting, he's got it about 10ft or so from the wall out there to retire the side. And so in the eighth, no runs, no hits, no errors and nobody left in the score. After eight innings of the ball game, the National League 7, the American League 3. I'll tell you this, Duke Snyder's really playing a game. Went back nicely for that catch out there.

He's won 20 games three times and he pitched three scoreless innings last year's all star game going into the afternoon's classic today. Win at 10 wins and 4 losses.

Two outs in the top of the ninth inning. The score National 7, American League 3. Willie Mays, who was at a two run homer back in the fourth inning, struck out and walked since then sends a foul back over our heads for strike one. Few way in the ninth. Strike one to Willie Mays. Wind delivers. It was a knuckler that time, which was wide and the count now is 1 and 1. Wind froze curve at various speeds and mucklers slide in the fastball. He can even throw with both arms, although he doesn't do it in ball games, does it in batting practice sometime. Here comes the pitch. Low two ball. Strike one. Our feel Is way back there for May as it can. Powder that apple. Williams, Mattle and Pearsall, the American League outfield. The pitch. He's cutting the mess pitch, which broke on the outside corner. And the count now goes to two and two to Maze. Two outs in the top of the night. American League will be coming up on the home night and they'll be have to do a lot of hustling to catch up with the National Leaguers in the score department today. Ready for the 2 and 2 pitch. Here it comes and it's strike plays. Swinging looked like a knuckleball thrown up that time by Win as Mays went forward and struck out. So the side was retired with three up and three down in the top of the ninth inning. Well, I'll tell you, that Win can really do a job. He makes that ball do tricks, doesn't he? Does a lot of things. A matter of fact, the White's widely read baseball column too. He's a great ball player and able judge. And it's right out of his own experience when he says the only way to get a decent shave is with a Gillette blade and a Gillette razor. Now then, the shaves that are way, way out there pick you up and cool you off. If the Gillette Super Speed Racer for you choose your type, the light, regular or heavy, and you just never had it so good.

He backhands the ball, knocks it down, picks it up and throws. His throw is wide and going across first base is Power with an infield hit. Was a fine play by Temple, who had to go far to his right to knock it down. Made the throw, but it took the first baseman off the bag. So it's an infield hit for Power as the American League still keeps their hopes alive. And Kell comes up. George Carroll steps in. And it's Strike one called the outside corner. Roy Seavers has just come up out of the American League dugout. He's the Washington representative on the team. Carroll 10 point, a short right field for a base hit. Power goes into second base. Mays fires a strike from right field and a line to Boyer third. Willie Mays came swooping in. That ball hit into short right field, swooped it up and in the same motion unfoiled a spike to Boyer that almost ripped his hand off at third base.
