. - Americans Win All -Star 6 Tho Newt-Review, Reseburg, Ore. Wed., July 13, 1949 Game, Victors Open Tilt With Four Unearned Runs Final Score Is 1 1 to 7; Rickey Blames Defeat On Selections By Fans By JOE REICHLER BROOKLYN, July 13.-(ff) Branch Rickey, among many Na tional Leaguers writhing under the humiliation yesterday of his . circuit'! latest setback by Ameri ( can League All-Stars, 11-7, to day laid the blame on the tans' doorstep. Rickey, head of the Brooklyn Dodgers, In whose field the lat est nightmare for the National League took place, said "it seems to me that the nationwide fans' voting idea is not the best one. "I may be wrong in that," he added, "but I am sure of this, however. The manager should not be forced to start with the fans' top selections and play them for three Innings. He should be privileged to start anybody he sees fit and use him as long ' as he desires." Rickey said after the . first three amateurish Innings, the game was played In a smoother fashion because the managers were running things. First Inning Fatal In the slonnilv-nlaved first In- ; ring the National League infield fell apart and permitted the op position to score four unearned runs, mat eventually was tne margin of defeat. The Nationals pot hack two runs in their half of the inning when Stan Musial followed Jack ie Robinson's double with a home run over the right field screen. They made it 4-3 In the second and only Ted Williams' sensa tional backhanded catch of Don Newcombe's fly prevented the Na tionals from having a big Inning. The National's third Inning at tack produced two runs and put them in front for the first and only time In the game. Freak Single Decisive The Americans regained the lead In the fourth, capitalizing on Eddie Joost's freak single which both managers Billy Southworth of the National and Lou Boudreau agreed later was the decisive play of the game. With runners on Bccond and third and two out, Newcombe apparently had Joost fooled on a low outside curve. Joost hit with the end of his bat and sent a twisting little looper to .first. But the ball had "English" on It and it hopped crazlly off Gil Hodges' bare right hand and rolled Into short right. Both run ners scored to put the Ameri cans ahead b-3.

By that time the Americans had tallied two more on Joe Dl Mag. glo's two-run double off Bos ton's Vern Blckford. They added three more in the seventh against the Cardinals' Howie Pollet lo ice the game. "8lopplest" Ever Played Although happy over the out come, Boudreau agreed with the majority of the 32,577 fans who paid $79,225.02 all of which goes to the players pension fund that it was one of the shabbi est played games since the Ail Star competition began in 1933. The National League has won only four of the 16 games play ed. , . "It was the sloppiest played game ever played, volunteered Joe uorcion, uieveianas second hnse star, "but they just out slopped us."
