Yanks Fail to Show on
All-America Ball Team
Dean, Rowe and Cochrane Are Only Leftovers From
Writer’s 1934 Squad: Vaughan Most Improved.
BY DANIEL M. DANIEL
Tfmti Special Writer.
YORK, Aug. 28.—Though the major league baseball
season has another month to run, the all-Americas of
1935 already stand out like clear-cut intaglios against the
background of achievement in something like 120 games.
Before the books are closed on Sunday, Sept. 29, there will
)>e shiftings in the batting records and pitching tables. But
the major impressions of the campaign already have sunk
deep. The superlative ratings are not likely to be disturbed.
In listing the stars of this year we are amazed at the changes which
one short season has encompassed. Os the players whom the writer
designated as All-Americas in 1E34, only three—Dizzy Dean. Schoolboy
Rowe and Mickey Cochrane—have managed to retain their places.
Our major league All-Star team
lor 1935 is as follows: First
Hank Greenberg, Tigers; second
hase. Charley Gehringer, Tigers;
third base. Pepper Martin, Car
dinals; shortstop. Flcyd Vaughan,
Pirates; outfielders, Melvin Ott.
Giants; Joe Vosrrnk Cleveland, and
Joe Medwick. Cardinals; catchers,
Mickey Cochrane, Tigers, and Gabby
Hartnett. Cubs; pitchers, Dizzy
Dean, Cardinals: Schoolboy Rowe.
Tigers; Carl Hubbell, Giants, and
Wesley Ferrell. Red Sox.
tt tt tt
THE tremendous difference which
only one season may make in
major league ratings may be ap
preciated from examination of this
1934 all-America First base, Lou
Gehrig, Yankees; second has*'.
Frankie Frisch, Cardinals; third
base. Bill Werbei, Red Sox; short
frtop, Joe Cronin, Senators; outfield
rrs, A1 Simmons, White Sox; Paul
Wancr, Pirates, and Hemie Ma
nush. Senators; catchers, Mickey
Cochrane, Tigers, and Bill Dickey,
Yankees; pitchers, Lefty Gomez,
Yankees; Dizzy Dean, Cardinals,
Schoolboy Rowe, Tigers, and Hal
Schumacher, Giants.
In massing his data and impres
sions for the nomination of the
greatest players of 1935, the writer
was struck with the strange fact
that for the first time since 1919
the Yankees were not able to gain
even a single place among a galaxy
to which they have been accustomed
to contribute brilliantly and lav
ishly. The Giants, with two desig
nations, Ott and Hubbell, saved Nev.
York from total eclipse.
BABE RUTH. all-Amcrica from
1920 to 1933, is gone. Gehrig,
•who won all the power champion
ships last season with 49 home runs,
an average of .363 and 165 runs bat
ted in, is having a comparatively bad
year.'
Dickey, who has been hurt so
often this summer, is hitting under
.270. He is not a physical giant and
is feeling the effects of seasons of
overwork. Gomez, who with 26 vic
tories led the pitchers of 1934, has
won a mere 10 games and can not
keep his head above the .500 mark.
In short, this Yankee club is
wearing out and a complete over
hauling is indicated for 1936. The
team used to bristle with stars. Now
the organization depends on balance
rather than outstanding individ
uality. and the change is not one
for the better.
nan
PERHAPS the most startling im
provement of the year is that
demonstrated by Arky Vaughan,
who has regained the shor stop su
premacy for the National League.
The old circuit held the leadership
at that position for many years—
first with Dave Bancroft and then
with Travis Jackson. Then came
Cronin to shift the top ranking to
the American League.
Now we find Vaughan batting
around .400 and playing a vastly
stronger game in the field. His av
erage has suffered no erratic flights
or surprising fluctuations. He
opened the season at .400 and he has
kept close to that mark all the way.
The writer does not rate Vaughan
one of the best fielding shortstops in
the game. Arky still has to cock his
arm for the throw. But when a
man hits .400 you are quite willing
to overlook little foibles in style and
niceties in execution. For fielding
class we will take Leo Durocher.
Frankie Crosetti and Eric McNair.
Dick Bartell looked good for half
the season, bvit with his tumble in
hitting the Giant shortstop lost a
lot of his class in the field.
ana
THOUGH he is not listed on our
all-America, one of the really
remarkable players of the year is
Augie Galan. left fielder of the Cubs.
Galan and Billy Herman have been
the chief reasons for Chicago's re
maining in the race.
Galan made his mark with the
San Francisco Seals and came up as
a possible successor to Herman. But
his work at second base was too
erratic. His throws were wild. So
Charley Grimm conceived the idea
of converting Augie into an out
fielder. And Grimm never had a
better inspiration.

Scoreless Tie Unlikely ,
All-Star Experts Agree
Outcome of Pro-Collegian Battle Tomorrow Night Very
Much in Doubt: Kickoff, 8:30, Chicago Time.
By United Prrxs
CHICAGO. Aug. 28.—The little fellow with the whistling bridgework
started giving away promises today with every ticket he sold for the
Bears-All Star football game, which will corral 80.000 odd customers in
Soldier Field tomorrow night. Action will start about 8:30 Chicago time
<.7:cO Indianapolis time - *.
The little guy. feeling called upon
to offer some assurance that there'll
be no repetition of last year's score
less tie. flattened his nose against
the ticket wicket and confided.
"You'll see some scoring this year,
yes sir-ree.”
He didn't have any more idea who
would commit the scoring than he
did about the location of a Gate-Q.
Row-42 ticket.
"It might be the All-Stars.'’ he
said, "with a flashing running at
tack by Cotton Warburton and
Buz? Borries. Or. on the other
hand, it might be the Bears with
the plunging of Bronko Nagurski or
a field goal by Jack Manders.”
The little fellow's ruthless opin
ions smacked of having been lifted
from some of the expert ones in the
daily press, which, stirred up and
boiled for 30 minutes over a slow
fire, assured the clientele:
1. That the chances of another
scoreless tie are something short of
Mussolini's at a Negro Baptist camp
meeting.
2. That the margin of scoring
won't be more than seven points.
3. That the Bears will try to run
the All-Stars razzle-dazzle with
passing
4. That, no matter who wins, it
won’t settle the argument over
whether the gridiron supremacy is
the Collegians' or the professionals.

Vance Beats Hatter in 3-2

On Tonight.
BY EDDIE ASH

The Indians won a tight one from
the Brewers last night, 3 to 2, mak
ing the series stand two victories
for the home boys and one for Mil
waukee. The tie game of Sunday in
the second half of the double
header will be played off tonight to
close out the set. Action will begin
at 8:15.
The Redskins will have an off
day tomorrow and then leave on a
short road trip.
It will be “Appreciation Night” at
Perry Stadium this evening when
the Milwaukee pastimers make their
last 1935 appearance in Indianap

prices will be 40 cents for men and
70 cents in the boxes. It will be
“ladies’ night” again and women
fans will be admitted for the tax
and service charge.
The bleachers will be free to boys
16 years old and under.
Vance Page engaged in a mound
battle with Southpaw Clyde Hatter
last night and held the Brewers to
six hits. Hatter also was in form,
except for wildness at times, and
the Indians had to be satisfied with
seven blows.
The Redskins put the winning run
over in the eighth without the aid
l of a hit. Stephenson walked as first
up and the Tribesters started a
bunting attack that finally got a
wild throw out of Hatter and Stevie
tallied all the way from second after
reaching that station on Heath’s
sacrifice.
The Hoosiers scored one marker
in the second and one in the third.
Milwaukee counted twice in its half
of the third and the contest re
mained a tie until the eighth. Pago
held the Brewers to four hits
in the last six innings. He struck
cut four and issued one pass.
Hatter fanned seven, but gave up
six walks. Cotelle and Steph
enson each got two hits for the In
dians and Wingard found a safe
spot twice for Milwaukee.
Sherlock played a bang-up game
for the Tribesmen, stole second
twice, got one hit and batted in one
run. Some of his plays were circus
stops and catches. He got the last
out by making a one-handed catch
on Trapp’s bid for a hit.
The record between the clubs this
season is 15 victories for the Indians,
six for the Brewers and one tie tilt, j

ing Clevelander, in the feature
tussle at Sports Arena.
Lewis has been resting up this
summer, and appeared in the best
condition of recent months. He an
nounced last night that he's gun
ning for Dano O’Mahoney, the new
and youthful champion, whom the
Strangler claims he tossed in 13
minutes in London a year ago.
Veteran Is Flattened
Ed the Headlocker never did like
being clouted on the chin, it seems,
and the punching tactics of Rowdy
Joe last night irked him more than
I usual, which eventually proved the
1 undoing of the Buckeye bad boy.
After 22 minutes of tussling in the
first fall, Ed clamped on four head
locks but Cox flipped free each time.
Getting up from the last one, Cox
uncorked a round house right that
exploded on the Strangler's button
and dropped him in his tracks. Joe
pounced on him for the fall.
As Cox was starting to leave the
ring. Lewis rushed across and
floored him with a punch to the jaw,
picked him up and flattened him
again just for good measure.
Everything was going along all
right in the second fall until Joe’s
fists again started bouncing against
the Strangler's molars. Old Ed de
cided to try it himself. He chopped
Joe down with a forearm smash to
the heart, tossed in some right hooks
and flying mares and then clamped
on a headlock that left Cox on the
canvas colder than the night breeze.
All this took 11 minutes.
Ten minutes later it was an
nounced that Cox wasn’t coming
back and Lewis was declared the
winner.

Win Over A s
Pushes Lead to 9Vi Games;

BY HENRY SUPER
United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Aug. 28 —ls the De
troit Tigers capture the American
League pennant—and it seems that
nothing short of arming the opposi
tion with hand grenades can halt
them—they would do well to extend
a vote of thanks to the St. Louis
Browns.
The hapless Browns have kicked
around in the cellar virtually the
entire season and are 30 games be
hind the Tigers. Yet they have done
more to aid the Detroit cause in the
month since the Bengals grabbed
the lead from the New York Yankees
than any other team in the league.
So efficiently have the Browns
functioned since July 27—the day
the Tigers moved into first place—
that if standings were published
covering that period St. Louis would
be third, topped only by Detroit and
Philadelphia.
Wreck Havoc Among Leaders
While the Tigers were increas
ing their margin to the 9' ; games
they hold today over the Y'ankees,
the Browns played an important
role by bumping off pennant con
tenders right and left at a time
when those teams needed victories
to stay in the race.
Only three clubs hold an edge
over the Browns since July 27—De
troit, Cleveland and Philadelphia.
In winning 19 of 34 games since
then, the Browns have set the
Yankees down three out of five,
Chicago four out of seven and Bos
ton fOur out of six.
On Senators’ Heels
At. the same time they aided the
Detroit cause immensely by losing
two out of three, bringing their sea
son total to three victories and 13
lasses against the Tigers—the great
est margin rolled up against the
Browns by any club.
Their sensational drive may yet.
carry the Browns out of the cellar
and boost them into seventh place
ahead of the Washington Senators.
Roger Hornsby’s men swept a dou
ble-header for their fourth straight
j over the Senators yesterday, en
abling them to climb within two
games of the capital team. Scores
were 10-6 and 11-1. The Tigers in
creased their lead by defeating
Philadelphia, 6-5 and 5-0, while the
Yankees split with Chicago. The
Yanks won the opener, 13-10, and
lost the second, 4-3. The Boston-
Cleveland game was rained out.
The Tigers won their first game
with a run in the ninth when
Rookie Pitcher Carl Doyle passed
Goase Goslin with the bases loaded.
Schoolboy Rowe scored his sixteenth
victory in the nightcap.
In the National League Cincinnati
and Brooklyn split. The Reds won
the first, 7-3, and Brooklyn captured
the second, 10-1. Other games were
rained out.
Yesterday’s Hero; Rip Radrliffe,
Chicago outfielder, whose homer in
the seventh inning of the nightcap
with a man aboard enabled the
White Sox to beat the Yankees.
