< wHS ’ ■ aS WATER WRESTLERS—San Francisco Olympic club water poloists ** pictured at play. This is one of the roughest of games. 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. | SPORT CELEBS • —-Mr—■ ■ ' » ■ ii ill —— Hip w Wfc < Wr • > 1 > M? ■ i Mj. ■••-***" : vW zUlili iiMfe jg 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.

By BILL BRAUCHER 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 posed of Gehrig, Gearieger Dykes and INTRODUCTION OF SECRETARY ICKES BY ROBERT MOSES 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. FULL f ] SPlb \ COVERAGE ? H TKANS- looal \X.- r adio SPORTS < ; vCS r >?/’^~ :== Z LEASED CENTRAL | WIRE PRESS # 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.

The fight developed when workers left the Remington-Rand factory and i ran the picket line gauntlet in speedy cars. Observers said showers of stones rattled against the cars as they roar s ed out of sight.

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 BEHOLD THE BUSKERS!

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.
