Possible Negro protest at Mexico City Olympics
The AF reports Negro athletes may protest the Games rather than boycott, potentially by skipping the opening parade or the medal ceremonies in Mexico City. Harry Edwards hints at such actions while noting discontent sparked at the Los Angeles trials where many qualifiers were Black. The U S Olympic Committee may seek white balance if protests occur.

Mantle Accepted All Star Selection Amid Humble Pride
Mickey Mantle accepted his 16th yearly All Star selection while downplaying his own merit. The 36 year old Yankee star, named as a backup first baseman, urged that tools on form deserve the honor. A 15 000 strong Washington crowd cheered him as he opened the game with a single but went hitless thereafter in a 3 1 Senators win. Mantle debuted in 1951 and has missed only one All Star since 1952 due to injuries, as Olympic era heroes faded and Rizzuto and others left.
