"It was timed just right."

But he defended the big (left fielder who also hit the long-lest homer of the game a 460- second homer of the day. He also struck out two and walked two. "The fact that he came late had no bearing on the ball game," said Smith after the National League defeated the American League, 9-3. "It will would have had the same result.

"He would have pitched only-two innings and I would have "I expected him (McLain) to be back in time to start but when it's a matter of a man's health and pitching, a man's health is more important." McLain left the park while the game still was in progress to fly to Florida and was not available for comment. Ted Williams, Washington manager who was an American year-old John Bench of Cincinnati, who hit one of the five home runs in the game. "He's a real good one," Williams said. "He's only 21 but a real mature 21." Williams also complimented Boston outfielder Carl Yas-trzemski, who leaped high above the seven-foot fence in left field to take a homer away from bench. "That was a helluva catch," said: "I wasn't actually as loose as I would have been.

I usually take three innings to get loose but I just couldn't get there today." Bill Freehan of Detroit, who caught Odom, said "He seemed to be having trouble with his curve ball.

Vf YkT4 4 Can't Brush Off Teeth Capping WASHINGTON, July 23. DENNY McLAIN, baseball's space man, got the call to pitch in the fourth inning.

The driver of the red motor cart that carries relief pitchers from the bullpen gunned his motor. McLain waved him off, choosing to walk. Space Man had done enough high-speed traveling for one All-Star interlude. First there was Tuesday's plane ride from De 1 j- fi 8 '14 ty i I III 1 11 i ii i sx troit, inat was a snap. Denny arrived in plenty of time to start the 49th All-Star Game for the American League.

Rain forced a postponement, so Denny, Manager Mayo Smith and their fellow Americans boarded the league's chartered bus. The driver took a wrong I turn. Instead of going to the1 hotel, he wound up in Alexandria, Va. "Three times we went through Alexandria," Mayo said. "I was there so many times I was elected mayor." FRANK DOLSON It must have been a tiring trip, but McLain had an even longer detour to take before pitching Wednesday afternoon.

"He told me some time ago, but I had forgotten all about it," Mayo said.

"Denny reminded me when the I game was postponed. No. I wasn't upset." Space Man promised to rush back for Wednesday's 1:45 P. M. start.
