BOSTON IS MECCA
OF BASEBALL FANS
AS STARS PLAY
BOTH THE NATIONAL AND
AMERICAN LEAGUES
TO SEND BEST MEN
BOSTON, July 7 (TP).—The eyes
of the baseball world are on Boston
today for the first time hi 18 years.
Beantown fans haven’t seen any
blue ribbon encounters since the Red
Sox downed the Cubs in the 1918
World series. But ths afternoon the
k"-' all star teams of both the National
and American leagues will square off
at the National league prk before
45,000 specttors.
The American leaguers, led by the
New York Yankees manager, Joe
McCarthy, wil be gunning for their
fourth straight win since the series
started. Charlie Grimm, the Chicago
Cubs pilot, leads the stars of the sen
ior National circuit. Both Grimm and
the National league president, Ford
Frick, are dead set on a victory. They
realize that the prestige of their loop
has suffered by the three straight de
cisions lost to the American league
all-star team.
The line-ups for the rival teams
are proof enough that it will be a
sure-enough all star game.
McCarthy is sending Lefty Grove.
Vernon Gomez, Mel Harder and Ver
non Kennedy to the pitching mound
for his team. The task of getting
runs for these pitchers will be in the
very capable hands of Lou Gehrig
and Joe Di Maggio of the Yanks,
Luke Appling of the Chicago White
Sox, Goose Goslin of the Detroit Ti
gers and other strong hitters.
Grimm thinks Van Lingle Mungo,
“Dizzy” Dean, Carl Hubbell and Curt
Davis will handcuff the rival slug
gers. And for batting strength, the
National leaguers are looking to
"Ducky” Medwick, Stu Martin, Mel
Ott and Billy Herman to send plenty
of safe hits rattling around the huge
confines of Bob Quinn’s ball yard.

LEO DUROCHER
By Central Press
GREAT DEFENSIVE shortstop one
of the most talkative and peppery
players in the game, Leo Durocher
adds a splotch of bright color to the
St. Louis “Gas House Gang”, as the
rough, tough Cardinals have ccme to
be called.
Durocher is noted as a "jockey”,
riding opposing players unemrclfully
from the bench. It is on record that
he was talked down only once by
Jimmy Dykes of the White Sox, who
railed him the “All-American out”.
Leo, known by the nickname “Lipy”,
didn’t have an answer for that one.
The Dykes brand originated in
Durochers batting weakness. In eight
years of major league ball Durocher
has batted .248. Native of West
Springfield. Mass., he will be 30 years
old July 27. He is married and Ivies
in Cincinnati, where he recently won
a silver cup as pool champion. Hts
baseball experiences have been with
Hr rtford Atlanta, St. Paul, *he Yan

Central Press Sports Editor
NEW YORK, July 7—The Nation
al league is just beginning to realize
that it has been the victim of a
dirty trick by the American league,
three dirty tricks to be exact, ana
is getting pretty sore about it.
The three dirty tricks were these
three All-Star games won by the
American league. Not only did the
American league win them, but Henry
Pierpont Edwards, American league
publicist, has told the world all about
the victories, and insists upon re
minding the populace again this year
that his league is vastly superior to
the National leaguers. The all stir
teams clash today in their fourth
annual contest.
“And the American league will win
again this year,” says the persistent
Mr. Edwards. “We’ve got the power—
Gehrig Gehringer, Di Maggio, Rad
cliff, Ferrell and the others. How are
they going to stop us? It will be
home run or no count.”
Frick Sees Victory
But Ford Frick, young president
of the Nationals has his dander up,
and Frick can be very earnest and
persistent, too. He has told his man
agers and players that this thing of
the American league winning is get
ting to be a chestnut, and all hands
must bear down to save the honor of
the “senior circuit.”
“And we’ll win it this year,” says
Mr. Frick, “because weve got the kind
of pitching the Americans will not hit.
Hubbell, Dizzy Dean, Curt Davis,
Warneke and Mungo—how are they
going to get a foul off those fellows?”
The lineups seem to give strength
to both the argumeits of Mr. Edwards
aod Mr. Frick. With ai infield cem

OPENING TRIBORO BRIDGE
TO BRING TOGETHER
EX-ENEMIES
NEW YORK, July 7 (TP)—When
the great new Triboro bridge is de
dicated next Saturday, spectators will
be watching two men with more than
passing interest. Secretary of the In
terior Ickes is one. The other is New
York’s Park Commissioner Robert
Moses. Mayor LaGuardia announced
yesterday that the cabinet officer had
made a last minute change in plans
and would be present at the dedica
tion ceremonies.
Moses will introduce Ickes to the
I crowd. Last year, the two men en
gaged in several lively verbal skirm
ishes when the Public Work Admin
istrator made a vain attempt to have
Moses removed as chief of the Triboro
I bridge authority.
President Roosevelt is also slated
Ito make a short speech. The bridge
is the biggest public works project in
this part of the country. Nearly $45,-
000,000 of federal money was spent
o build the huge span.
i The candlepower of the lighthouse
beacon at Cape St. Vincent, Portugal,
is estimated at 55,000,000.

INDIANS VS. PEACHES AT MACON TODAY
Appling, an outfielt consisting of Di
Maggio, Aevrill and Radcliff and such
slugging catchers as Rick Ferrell Bill
Dickey and Rollie Hemsley, the Amer
ican league certainly is sending some
authority to the plate.
The Nationals’ roster shows no
such blasting ability. Gus Suhr or
Rip Collins will play first; Bill Her
man or Stuart Martin, second;
Pinky Whitney or Lew Riggs, third,
and Leo Durocher or Arky Vaughan,
short. Riggs is a .250 hitter. So Is
Durocher, though at present he’s hit
ting around .300.
The National league outfield offers
six pretty fair country hitters at that
—Mel Ott, Wally Berger Augie Galan,
Joe Moore, Frank Demaree and Joe
Medwick. Certainly the National lea
gue’s No. 1 catcher, Gabby Hartnett,
wears no man’s horse collar and he's
the sort who hits when it hurts.
Pitching is the National league
hope, and maybe Mr. Frick is right
when he says his flingers have the
edge. American leaguers were un
able to do a thing with Carl Hubbell
in the New York-Wsahington world
series, and Dizzy Dean’s ability to fool
the fence busters is no secret either.
Curt Davis is a question mark, but
to judge by his stuff, he’ll bother the
Americans plenty. Davis throws a
sinker, Hubbell's chief stock is a screw
ball, and Old Dizz is a “stuff” pitch
er with everything, including a dandy
hard one.
It is this writer’s guess that the
game will be like the world series
of 1906 between the White Sox (hit
less wonders) and Cubs (clouting
fools). The hitless wonders wen. If
the National leaguers get the kind
of pitching those names stand for,
the Americans will lose their first
All-Star game.

LISTLESS FIELDING, COSTLY ERRORS
SEND INDIANS DOWN DEFEAT AGAIN;
SEE NEW HOPES IN CONTEST TODAY
SAVANNAH WITH BACKS TO WALL PLAY MACON IN
FINAL SERIES. 808 HARRIS EXPECTED TO
- BE GIVEN MOUND DUTY.
Still seeking to snap out of their
losing streak, the Savannah Indians
play their last game on the home
field qf the Macon Peaches today.
Losing yesterday, the Indians saw the
game go into the record books as the
fifth straight loss. Seemingly able to
hit the ball at will, the Tribe ap
pears to be playing listless baseball
not giving adequate support to the
hurling efforts of their battery of
moundsmen. Now in fourth place, the
efforts of the Indians to trot a win
ning combination on the field will
have to take on new life if anything
is expected to be developed in time
for a threat on the leadership of the
second half.
Hines’ Error Costly
An error by Jake Hines who boottd
a peg drive from Nick Etten in the
I last half of the ninth, cost the Sa
. vannah Indians a game yesterday
' with the Macon Peaches 9-8. Gamble
who caught one of Rasky's heaves to
his liking drove a ball into deep right
field. Etten picked the ball up and
threw it to Hines on third for the

Columbus moved up another niche
into the first niche of the Sally lea
gue yesterday when they won a ball
game from the Columbia Senators,
3-1. Making seven hits, the Birds
played heads up ball to firmly en
trench themselves in the league lead
ership. The Jacksonville Tars were
the hapless victims of the Augusta
Tigers who finally ekked out a 2-1 i
victory. Taking an early start in the :
second and third frames, the Tigers
played errorless ball behind the four
hit hurling of Patchin, to move Into
third place. The last game of the cir
cuit found the Savannah Indian*
continuing their skid into the cellar.
Losing their fifth straight game, the
Indians saw their very best efforts
go for naught as the Macon Teaches
scored a run in the last half of the
ninth to win the game 9-8. A perfect
avalanche of runs in the starting
frames of the set-to appeared to have
a victory in the bag of the Indians,
but their miscues coupled with a bar
rage of hits off the bats of the Peaches
soon changed the tide.
