SOLDIER BOYS IN
d Palmer House Stars Play Craters Tonight 8:30
A one-game performance, of
course, can't b naad aa conclu
sive proof that a ctrtain ball
player ia better than a certain
other ball player, but yester
day's all-star affair in Detroit
will give the Joe Cordon sup
; porters a chance to gloat at the
expense of the Bobby Doerr
patrons.
' Ever since these two second
basemen, Cordon of the Yankees
and Doerr of the Red Sox, start
ed showing just how that key
stone cushion should be played
the arguments regarding which
'was the better, the best in the
majors, in fact, have been long
and, at times, rather bitter.
John Lardner, the famous
sports columnist, devoted his
daily stint the other day to the
theory that Both Gordon and
Doerr, tops in the majors, should
get to play for the American
league all-stars. Well, they both
did play against the National
leaguers yesterday, and it was
Gordon who came out of the con
test with the greater honors.
Doerr started the game and
played the first five innings,
during which he traipsed to the
plate three times. In the first
inning he hit a weak fly to Lon
nie Frey. In the fourth he slap
ped a grounder to the same gent
and waa thrown out. In the
fifth he was whiffed by Bucky
Walters. Thus, none for three
was his plate record for the day.
Joe Gordon, the Oregon lad.
took over la the sixth and
made two trips to the dish. In
the American seventh he
grounded out to Arky Vaugh
an. But tn the ninth, with the
National league leading by
8 to 3 count, and after Kan
Keltner had hit a single to ig
nite that sensational four-run
rally that brought victory for
the Junior loop. Gordon came
through In the clutch with a
hard one-base smash to right
Then, when Ted Williams
clouted his tremendous game
winning homer, Oordon
crossed the plate with the ty
ing run. Bo. Joe's batting rec
ord for the afternoon was a
neat one for two.

Arky Vaughan Denied Hero
Status by Williams' Homer
By Gayle Tsblot
Detroit, July 9 (TP) Of all the National leaguers whose wives
and relations should keep them out of tall buildings for the next
few days, the one with the most legitimate complaint about the
way yesterday's all-star game turned out is Arky Vaughn, Pitts
burgh's veteran shortstop.
ihts In i
BEND UPSETS ALBANY
WITH 5-RUN RALLY IN
11TH INNING, 1 TO 2
Arky rose to the heights in
the cause of the National league
and hit two shattering home
runs In successive innings, each
time with a man on base. It was
tremendous and should have
been enough to place Vaughan
in the all-star hall of fame with
something to spare.
But what happens? A tall
California boy named Ted Wil
liams, employed by the Boston
Red Sox, comes up with two out
and two on in the ninth inning
and slams a homer to give the
American leaguers a 7 to 5 vic
tory and relegate Vaughan'a two
preceding clouts to the ash can.
Looking around, Vaughan can
lay such a tough break as that
to a couple of things. In the first
place, why wasn't Williams,
leading hitter of the American
league, given a walk so that the
fading Claude Passeau could get
at Dominic Dl Maggio? Anybody
would have been better than
Williams.
Yet, last night. Manager Del
Baker of the victorious Ameri
cans said' it would have been
poor strategy to pass Williams.
for that would have put the win
ning run on second base.
Secondly, with one out In that
terrible ninth, Joe Di Miggio
slapped a perfect double play
ball to shortstop. Eddie Miller
grabbed the pill and flipped It
to Billy Herman, forcing Cecil
Travis at second and setting up
the twin-killing that would have
closed out the game with the
Nations ahead, S to 3.
It was in the bag. But Herman
hurried his throw, pulling Frank
McCormick off first base A run
dented the plate, two were on
base and Williams was up there
swinging his wagon-tongue with
a crowd of 84,674 on edge.
Such t h I n I s hannen. anil

hero, was just another unfor

barrage in the eleventh inning
last night to upset the Albany
Alcos, defending champions, in
the Oregon semi-pro baseball
tournament, 7-2.
Johnny Bubalo hoisted a two
run homer after two were out
in the eleventh. Bend filled the
bases afterwards and Ricky Em
erson drove three more runs
across with a double.
