YORK.,—(#A)—Coming from be- ! hind with a batting attack that | blasted Lon Warneke off the : mound and also drove Van | Mungo to cover, the American i lcague all-stars whipped the l Nationals today, 9 to 7, for their second straight triumph. ! By ALAN GOULD ; Asscciated Press Associated Sports Editor ‘ NEW YORK —(AP) — In com mand of two picked squads of thel greatest players in baseball, in stead of mere pennant winners, Memphis Bill Terry and Frisco Joe Cronin today pick up the phreads of personal rivalry again, with inter-league prestige and su premacy at stake in the National game’'s most glamorous show. Each eager to win—Terry to prove the National leaguers still are on the cyest of a winning wave and Cronin to demonstrate that he has the playing weapons to turn the tables on his 1933 world series conqueror—they called the roil of greats for the second annual all-star major league game, now Lecomes a mid-season jnstitution of nationwide interest. ‘ Rarring some sudden and unex pected switch of plans before time ~-12:80 ‘p. m. (8.5. T. at the polo grounds—it was to start |urr as a duel between the two greatest lefthanders in baseball Car]l Owen Hubbell of the Giants and Vernon (Goofty) Gomez of the Yankees, znd wind up with a flock of fast-ball right-handers attempt 'in_x; to horse-collar the best hitters in either league. l As a tipoff on what there was in store for'the flingers, the Amer jcan league for the second straight lyear held the home run king, Jim mie Foxx, in reserve as a pinch hitter or possible replacement for the celebrated iron man, Lou Geh rig, who hasn't missed starting a game during the regular season for ten years and will keep his rec jord intact thig afternoon. ' With the promise of fair weather and slightly rising temperature, !upwards of 50,000 spectators were |expected to jam the big National 'league park. The fans had the first crack at nominating the 20 players selected for each league's all-star parade. Their manifest in terest Has satisfied the magnates that the game serves an unique purpose, successfully, and their contribution to the gate receipts means a boon to the funds now ’accumulatlng for old or indigent ball players. : _ Capacity crowds today would mean close to $40,000 for charita ble cause after expenses have been paid. John A. Heydler, president of the National league, pointed out that the majors sacrificed two mid season playing dates, in order to stage the contest, but declared it was ‘““‘worth it’ and expressed the hope it will be rotated among all the major league cities annually. As for today's game, the Na tional feel they have played a de cisive “hunch” while the Ameri can league partisans feel Cronin hag been surrounded by a power house that can't be stopped by Hubbell’s pitching craft or any thing else. Terry faced the necessity of in stalling Pittsburgh’s Arky Vaughn at shortstop instead of the popu lar choice, Travis Jackson of the Giants, due to the latter's ailing eve, but otherwise .the probable lineups were unaffected by illness or injury. This meant that a left handed batsman, Vaughn, would face Gomez at the outset and somewhat weaken Terry scheme of strategy in concentrat ing on right-handed hitters but the Pirate infielder's record at the plate did not seem to give the Na tionals .cause, for any alarm on this account.

We knew there was only one way to build Quality and Value into a tire at a moderate price, and that was by volume production. We built the greatest tire ever made to sell at these low prices.
