Fat Man Babe Gives American Edge
a a a
Ruth Wins Game and Then Saves It
9 9 m
Some Question Starting of Hallahan
§
July 7—Maybe after all, the chief difference
between the National League and the American League
is an old fat fellow named George Herman Ruth.
They tossed all the stars of baseball together here Thursday, chose
up sides and played a ball game for the old players’ benefit fund, and
‘when it was all over you had to admit that the old fat fellow was still
king of ’em all.
Like King Tut and the silver dollar, the fat old fellow isn't what he
used to be. He wheezes and puffs when he starts to run and he goes
after those sharp liners in the outfield like a tipsy dowager doing the
rhumba.
But put the old fat fellow in a spot where the pressure is tight and
the ball game is at stake and watch him go. If the setting is such as it
was Thursday, when every seat in Comiskey park, 49,000, was filled, so
much the better. The old fat fellow' is a dramatist at heart. The roll
of the drums and blare of the bugles are life’s tonic to him. He dearly
loves those big moments.
You never saw so many stars in one ball game before. Men like
Pepper Martin, Frankie Frisch, Chuck Klein, Paul Waner, Chick Hafey,
Pie Traynor, Lefty O'Doul, Gabby Hartnett, Bill Hallahan, Lon War
neke and Carl Hubbell to name some of the Nationals.
And Ben Chapman, Earl Averill, Charley Gehringer, Lou Gehrig, A1
Simmons, Joe Cronin, Jimmy Dykes. Rick Ferrell, Goofy Gomez, Alvin
Crowder and Lefty Grove, to list some of the Americans.
And yet the inescapable fact was there was only one real star on the
field—the old fat fellow.
a a a
ALL he did was win the game for the Americans and then keep them
from losing it. The score w'as 4 to 2. The old fat fellow rifled one
into the stands on a line in the third inning for a homer that yielded two
runs, the margin by which the Americans won. Then in the eighth with
one on, he backed against the wall and pulled down a drive from Hafey’s
bat that was a lifesaver for Grove.
The all-star game, the first of its kind ever played, was a complete
success from every angle. Though the hired hands did not share in the
receipts they played hard, fighting baseball all the way, with the result
that the game was close, energetically conducted, and interesting to the
last out.
Some of the stars did not even get a chance to break into the
lineup. Behind almost from the start, John McGraw, w'ho piloted the
Nationals, made frequent changes in his lineup, and young Schumacher
of the Giants, was the only one of the squad who did not get to start.
Reluctant to tamper with a winning combination, Connie Mack, who
led the Americans, could find no way to use such men as Jimmy Foxx,
Bill Dickey, Tony Lazzeri, Wesley Ferrell and Oral Hildebrand. This
was a terrible tribute to the strength of the Americans. They were almost
as strong on the bench as on the field.
The Americans won the game off Hallahan, scoring three runs in two
innings with none out in the third. Hallahan was wild, giving five passes
before he was taken out. The second guessers are saying today McGraw’
should not have started him because he was a tired pitcher, having
worked as recently as Tuesday.

Indians Bunch Blows and
Win, 6-2; Turner Holds
Blues.
i By Times Special
KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 7.
: The Indians opened their second
i invasion of the west under the lights
here Thursday night and trounced
the Kawtown Blues, 6 to 2, with
Jim Turner turning in a high class
article of pitching. He kept seven
K. C. blows scattered except in the
eighth stanza and struck out six.
The Tribe righthander also punched
out a single in the sixth that helped
the Indians’ first rally that produced
a cluster of three runs.
Rally in Ninth
The Blues drew close by tallying
twice in the eighth, but the Hoosiers
got busy again in the ninth and
clinched the game by scoring three
more runs. Browning went eight
rounds on the slab for the home
nine and Blackwell and Shores
pitched the ninth.
The Indians were held to seven
safeties, but they managed to bunch
them and win by a decisive count.
Fred Bedore led the Tribe at bat
with three hits, including a triple.
Marty Callaghan gave signs of
emerging from a bad batting slump
by collecting two hits, driving in
two runs. Cooney tripled after two
away in the fifth, but was left on
base.
More Night Action
The second clash of the series
will be staged tonight at 8:30 and
the Saturday battle also will be,
played under the night lights. The
series will end Sunday with day
light action and it’s possible a late
season game will be moved up to
provide a double header on the
Sabbath.

Senators, Giants New Betting Favorites in Major Races
BY JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, July 7.—Washington displaced the New York Yankees,
and the New York Giants displaced Pittsburgh as favorites to win
the American and National League pennants, respectively, in the mid
season prices posted today at Jack Doyle's billiard academv. baseball bet
ting center of the New York area.
Odds against the Senators taking the American flag were 3-1 in pre
season quotations, but this aggressive, heavy-hitting, young club con
vinced betting men that it was the team to beat, after smashing out
twenty victories in its last twenty-two games. Consequently, at the sea

plained that the Yank's disastrous road trip, on which they lost 13 and
won 14 games, coupled with the loss of Tuesday’s home double-header to
Washington, indicated that Joe McCarthy’s “four old men’’—Ruth, Lazzeri,
Sewell and Combs—and the uncertain pitching staff could not carry the
club to another pennant.
The pre-season 20-1 against the Giants was hammered down to the
favored 6-5. while Pittsburgh's price lengthened from 8-5 to 4-1, dropping
the Pirates from first to third place in wagering. St Louis tightened
from 2-1 to 8-5 for second place in the National betting.

THE Giants’ brilliant pitching, supported by the tightest infield in
the major leagues, caused the betting swing that made them fa
vorites,” Doyle said. “The betting makes the odds, I don’t. It’s my pure
ly personal opinion that the St. Louis Cardinals will take the National
pennant, but most of the boys don't see it that way. I think the Cards
are the best Hub in the league in spite of their recent slump.”

Ruth Steals Show as
American Stars Win
Babe Fans Twice but Clouts Homer With One On and
Makes Sensational Catch to Aid in Sink
ing Nationals. 4 to 2.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO, July 7. Babe Ruth is strolling down the last lap of
baseball’s highway as a player.
One more year, maybe two—but that’s another story.
Just for a day, the Bambino was once more the game’s greatest
showman and most spectacular player as he led the American League
all-stars to a 4-2 triumph over the National League team in the inter
lea-ue game Thursday at Comiskey park before a throng of 49.000.
His spindle legs are growing de> .ate. fat bulges over his grotesque
midriff and his 39 years hang heavj on his giant frame, but his eyes, his
mighty cut at the ball and his flair for coming through in a pinch
money players, they call ’em—continue to function as well as they did
when he was the most feared slugger in all baseball.
They struck him out Thursday twice—Bill Hallahan in the first in
ning, and Lon Warneke in the sixth.
But just one swing of his big bat blasted the National leaguers to
defeat—the same bludgeon that has played havoc with them so many
times in the world series.
With the American Leaguers lead
ing. 1-0, in the third inning, Ruth
came up to face Hallahan. the Car
dinals' southpaw who three times in
four games has beaten American
League champions in the World se
ries. Charley Gehringer. Detroit
second baseman, had walked. Hal
lahan threw two balls to the Babe.
The next one came zipping in waist
high, and Ruth cocked, swung with
all his 210 pounds, caught it square
ly. It was a homer.
Ruth May Pilot Chisox
That punch meant two runs, the
two runs by which the American
League proved its superiority over
the National League.
Ruth's homer wasn't his only feat.
He hit a single in the fifth off War
neke. He backed against the right
field w r all and pulled down a long fly
from Chick Hafey’s bat which might
have sent the game into extra in
nings. He made a futile attempt to
race across the field and catch War
neke’s high fly along the foul line,
which half the outfielders in either
league would have gobbled up in
their hip pockets, but which he
couldn’t reach in his old age. It
went for a triple.
The talk is going around that
Comiskey park, where Ruth Thurs
day added new laurels to his count
less triumphs over nineteen years
as a pitcher, outfielder and home
run hitter, will see considerable of
Ruth next year.
It is said that Ruth will come to
the Chicago White Sox as manager
next year.
The White Sox now have a man
ager, and consequently deny Ruth
is being sought. Ruth plays with
the Yankees, and so they, too, deny
the White Sox negotiations. This
winter is likely to bring new de
velopments in the Ruth-White Sox
combine.
Gomez, Hubbell Best
Going back to the game, the first
ever played by the two majors, the
National League put up a game
battle. Once it looked as if they
might tie it up. Warneke’s triple
and Frankie Frisch’s homer gave
them tw'o runs, leaving them only
a run behind, but Joe Cronin's sin
gle, Rick Ferrell’s sacrifice and Earl
Averill’s single added the American
Leagues’ fourth run in the sixth.
Even then the National Leaguers
got runners on third and second
after Terry’s single and Pie Tray
nor’s double as a pinch-hitter with
one out in the seventh, but Grove
fanned Gabby Hartnett and easily
handled Woody English, when a hit
would have tied the score.
Each team used three pitchers—
Gomez, Crowder and Grove for the
Americans and Hallahan, Warneke
and Hubbell for the Nationals.
Gomez, who allowed only two
scratch singles in three innings, and
Hubbell, who pitched the last two
innings, were the best.

Brouillard Is

By United Pros
BOSTON, July 7.—Lefty Loti
Brouillard of Worcester, one-timd
welterweight champion, demanded
top-notch middleweight rating today
after giving a boxing lesson and
plenty of punishment to the veteran
Mickey Walker of Rumson, N. J.,
here Thursday night.
The rugged young French-Cana
dian conceded his battle-marked op
ponent nine pounds in weight and
then outpointed him from the start
to finish of their ten-round go.
Walker weighed 170 and Brouillard
161.
Brouillard gave Walker a terrific
lacing in all rounds except the
fourth and fifth, where the veteran
had a slight shade. He rocked
Walker in the seventh, ninth and
tenth rounds and only the Bulldog’s
famed courage kept him standing.
A record-breaking crowd of 16,000
saw the scrap.
