WHEN IT DRIFTS OVER A LIKELY POT, THE HANDLE FOR HAND TO SLIP THROUGH Birdie Tebbetts Should Be One Of All-star Coaches By JOE REICHLER NEW YORK (AP) -- The Na- tional League's starting lineup in the all-star game at WaShington July 10 is so heavily loaded with Cincinnati players that manager Walter Alston is thinking ously of naming Redlegs skipper, coaches Asked how it will feel managing Redlegs, the Brooklyn Dodgers manager grinned and replied: I think I'll name Birdie Teb- petts as' one of my coaches. He ought to be a 'big help. Maybe he'll lend me his signs." It was pointed out that not a single member of the world cham- pion Dodgers was named on the starting team in contrast to the Reds' quintet of outfielders Gus Bell and Frank Robinson, catcher Ed Bailey, second baseman John Temple and shortstop Roy Me- Millan ALSTON COMMENT | "If those guys play in the all- star game the way they've played as one of his LIVING 15-4 23-0 against us all year, I'll be satis- fied," Alston said. : Has Alston named his pitchers yet? now," he said, er's office right pick one or two pitchers of my own, but in the main, they were selected for me by the seven other managers. Bob Friend of Pittsburgh, for instance, was named either first or second by all managers. I believe each manager picked five pitchers.' Alston said he believed there were eight pitchers but declined to identify them. "That must come from the com- missioner's office," he said. A good guess probably would be Friend of Pittsburgh, Robin Rob- erts of Philadelphia, Don New- combe of Brooklyn, Johnny An- tonelli of New York, Bob Rush of Chicago, Bob Buhl of Milwaukee and Brooks Lawrence and Joe Nuxhall of Cincinnati. Chicago Scribes Voice Criticism | All-star Voting | CHICAGO (AP)--Dissatisfaction| over the current method of pick- ing starters for the annual all-star baseball game was voiced by some baseball leaders in Chicago Friday. President Will Harridge of the American League, owner P. K. Wrigley of Chicago Cubs, and vice-president Charles Comiskey of Chicago White Sox gave their opinions. : "It is very likely that we will go back to having the 16 mana- gers select the teams," Harridge said. "Naturally the club owners as well as commissioner Ford Frick prefer fan participation. We evi- dently didn't get heavy enough re- sponse to the poll nor was it dis- tributed evenly enough to get a good cross section of balloting." MUCH OF A WHIM "I never thought very highly of the poll anyhow," Wrigley said. "It always struck me that the ballots are pretty much of whim.

R: to "geratch" the paint film to get the water to penetrate into the paper itself. Rubbing with a very coarse sandpaper wrapped around block of wood, will do the job. Soak the paper thoroughly with warm water and keep it that way until the paste behind it has softened. Some wallpaper and paint dealers sell a wallpaper re- moving preparation to added to the water to give it better penetration. After removing the paper, wash the surface with warm water to remove paste and glue sizing from the plaster. A rented portable wallpaper steam- er is very effective, PATIO OF BELGIUM BLOCKS QUESTION: I am building a patio at the rear of my home and am using Belgiu mblocks, or what is commonly known as cobble- stones. My problem is that these stones are covered with tar and have oil and grease stains all over them. I would like to know what to use to remove these sub- stances. ANSWER: Man you picked yourself a terrific job and with all the work exerted the stones will not 'come out' entirely free of tar and grease. Tar can be softened by soaking with kerosene or one of the other petroleum base solvents. It can then scraped off with a putty knife. To remove some of the oil and grease, each stone will have to type of "frosting' can be, cleaned without streaks or marks. WHIE FILM ON BRICK QUESION: We have a brick planter in our living room, and found quite a bit of mortar on the brick. We were told to use muri- atic acid to clean it off. This, we did, not diluting the acid. We now have a white film on the brick. We put another coat of acid on the brick, diluting 10 parts of water to one part of acid. We still have the film, Could you help us ANSWER: Evidently you did not scrub the brickwork and prob- ably never rinsed it with clear water. After the solution has been on the brick for about three min- utes or so, scrub the surfaces with a fibre scrubbing brush; then rinse well with lots of clear water. Since the solution is highly cor- rosive, wear rubber gloves, pro- tect the eyes and skin against splashing, and wear rubbers over your shoes. The proportion of one part acid in ten of water is satis. factory. ROUGH TEXTURED WALLS QUESTION: The plaster walls of our living room are covered with a rough - textured coating that has large waves, or swirls, having a sequence every two or three inches. The walls are cover- ed with an oil paint. What method of smoothing do you recommend ANSWER: Remove the roughest part of the texture with coarse sandpaper, wrapped around a block of wood; better yet, a port- able electric sander, if you can rent or borrow one.
