MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, JULY 7, 1942. American All-Stars Tip Nationals 3-1 as Boudreau, York Home 3 RUNS IN FIRST Di Maggio Bounces Out To Third In All Star Game M'DONALD SLUGS American League Home Run GRAPPLE DEFEAT PAGE TWO Winners to Face Army-Navy All-Stars Before 70,000 In Cleveland Tonight. Br Carl Talbot New York, July 7 (IP) Bet ter all-star games possibly will be played than last nights' spec tacle at the Polo Grounds in which the American league once again slugged the National into defeat, 3-1, before a Denelit crowd of 33,694, but it is difficult to imagine one more dramatic. One minute after big Ernie Lombard! of the National leag uers lifted a lazy fly to right field to end the contest, pitch darkness closed over the big arena as part of New York City's second wartime blackout. For 22 minutes the crowd that had cheered itself hoarse for two hours sat tense and almost ilent. They sat as at a wake for the blasted hopes of the National leaguers, who had entered the tenth annual struggle with a burning determination to win and had seen their chances van ish almost with the first pitch Last nights game was over to all intents and purposes when Lou Boudreau, Cleve land's handsome young manag er, laced the second ball pitched by Mort Cooper of the St. Louis Cardinals into the deep left field stand. The Nationals from that Instant must have felt it was hopeless. The crowd did, anyway. Two-Run Homer The next American leaguer, Tommy Henrlch, bumped a dou ble into right-center, and after the next two men went down big Rudy York of the Detroit Tigers lofted a homer into the upper deck In right field. From there on, with the Americans boasting a three-run lead and their pitchers Spud Chandler of the "Yankees and big Al Benton of Detroit set ting the Nationals down inning after inning, there never was much doubt that the Junior leaguers had won their seventh victory in 10 all-star duels. Mickey Owen, the Brooklyn catcher whose failure to stop a third strike made him the goat of the 1941 world series, saved his side from a shutout with a pinch home run off Benton In the eighth. He was the only National leaguer to get past second base, as Chandler and Benton Issued only six hits. The Americans gave their two pitchers brilliant support. York and Boudreau, not con tent with batting the Nationals into submission, each contribut ed a fielding gem. Joe Gordon, the Yankees' great second baseman, found the National league hurling particu larly puzzling, striking out his first three times at bat and roll ing out weakly on the fourth. His fielding, however, made up for his lapses at the plate. Cleveland, Ohio, July 7 (IP) A great, patriotic throng of 60,000 to 70,000 spectators Is expected to comfortably fill Cleveland's massive municipal Lake Front stadium tonight to witness the greatest stars In baseball battle to swell the Army and Navy Emergency Relief funds. The competing teams will be Vncle Sam's soldiers and sail ors managed by Lieut. Gordon "Mickey" Cochrane, one-time oilot of the Detroit Tigers, and tha ever-familiar stars of the American league, victorious in New York's Polo Grounds last night over the National league all-stars, 3 to 1. The American leaguers will be led by the vet eran Joseph Vincent McCarthy, manager of the world's cham pion New York Yankees. Felltr To Pitch Bobby Feller, Cleveland's own great 23-year-old fireballcr, or John Duncan Kigney. xormer ace of the Chicago White Sox. both right-handers, will be on the firing line at the start for the service all-stars, with Cleve land's Jim Bagby, another right hander, the choice of Manager McCarthy. Bsgby has won nine and lost four to date. The balance of Lieut. Coch rane'! starting line-up probably will find Sam Chapman. Phila delphia Athletics, in right field: Don Padgett, property of the St. Louis Cardinals in left, and Joe Grace of the St. Louis Browns In the center garden The Infield probably will be Benny McCoy of the Athletics at second, Cecil Travis of wash Ington at short, Ernie Andres Louisville Colonels at third, and either Johnny Sturm, Yankees, or Chester Hajduk of the Chi cago White Sox at first. Andres, a former Indiana university star, is the only player among the all-stars without previous major league experience. - In this general view of Monday's All-Star game In New York, Joe on his grounder to third baseman outfielder, dashes for third base. BUD WARD RATED M TO BEAT AS WESTERN STARTS By Jim Thomas Spokane, Wash., July 7 (If) Bud Ward against the field is the set-up today as the nation's amateur golfers tee off for their last big tournament of the year and in all probability the last of the war. Ward, a corpora In the air corps by virtue of his enlistment shortly after Pearl Harbor last winter, will pack away his clubs after the Western Ama teur championships here this week and entrain for officers training school. Officers' schools and golf don't mix and Bud two time holder of the Western title, is definitely out of big time golf for the duration. Taking a last shot at Bud's title. In the tournament which started at S a. m. today and will run until Sunday afternoon. are nearly a hundred of the nation's top-flight amateurs most of whom have felt the sting of defeat by the route of Ward s phenomenal putter and his super-accurate Irons during the past years. Two of the field In particular Corp. Pat Abbott of Los An geles and Art Doering of Chi cago will be gunning for Ward regardless of the title. Abbott lost to Ward in the finals of the National Amateur In the famous "battle of Omaha" last year and Doering was beaten in the finals of the Western Ama teur championships at Colorado Springs in the same tournament by this same Ward. HELP WAR RELIEF New York. July 7.4v-At least part of the proceeds from the world scries this fall will go to war relief, but it will be up to baseball's advisory council to decide whether the October classic Is to be stretched into extra games, taken on tour or both, for the benefit of the armed forces. Major !egue club owners and officials agreed yesterday that some of the money from the series would be earmarked for war relief agencies, but did not name either the amount not the organizations which will benefit. Regarding a possible touring world series or the addition of extra games, they merely placed the whole thing In the hands of the advisory council, composed of Commissioner Kenesaw M Landis, President Ford Frirk of the National league and Pre Ident Will Harridge of the American league.

Vaughan is tossing him The American Leaguers won the Ted Williams Passes Gordon in Bat Race; Johnny Mize Torrid New York, July 7 fP) Al though he still Is well down in the pack, the hottest member of .the major league's hitting brigade during the past week was Johnny Mize, New York Giant first baseman. Mize, who was handicapped at the start of the season by a wandering tendon In his shoul der, vaulted from tenth to sixth place in the National league race, boosted his average above .300 to .301 for the first time and retained his home run clout ing honors. Ted Williams, the reluctant dragon of the Boston Red Sox, climbed to the top of the Amer lean league band wagon for the first time this season, displacing both Joe Gordon of the New York Yankees and Bobby Doerr of the Red Sox, who have been alternating at the top- rung much of the year. Williams now sports a .348 batting average with Gordon second at .347 and Doerr third with .346. There's nothing to compare to that tight race in the National where Pete Reiser, Brooklyn sophomore, is away out in front with .361, followed by Joe (Mus cles) Medwick with .344.

Phone 2189 For 20 minutes Sockeye Jack McDonald and Prince Selaki Mihalikis stood toe to toe and simply whaled away at each other, waiting for the other to crumple to the canvas, and when it was all over McDonald had evened his score with the Prince and lived up to the "V For Victory" he had artistically mown on his manly bosom. That was the sum total and over-all result of . last nights two-fisted main event mat brawl In the armory, a brawl that saw only one legitimate wrestling hold displayed during the fes tivities. This lone scientific maneuver was in the form of a Boston Crab with which Mihalikis took his single fall after 17 minutes of probably the wildest clout testing yet staged in this town. In order to set Sockeye up for the pinner, however, Mihalikis employed nothing more "scien tific" than approximately two hundred rights and lefts to the chin. McDonald, who lost to the Prince last week, Wasted no time in setting the tempo for the rematch. He walked from his corner at the opening bell and started pounding away, and aft er seven minutes of riotous ac tion Mihalikis faded out and Sockeye slammed him to the mat for the fall. Three minutes after the Prince had evened the count the match was all over. In a furi ous mixup near the ropes Mihal ikis lifted his opponent over the top strand and Sockeye soared into the customers. As he start ed to climb back In Mihalikis rushed forward with murder In his heart, only to be met with a tremendous haymaker that land ed squarely on his exposed Jaw. As Mihalikis fell backward flat on his back McDonald dove clear over the top rope and land ed squarely on the prostrate Prince for the deciding fall. Then, after it was all over, Mc Donald got up and Jumped feet first on the Mihalikis stomach, and it was five minutes before the latter woke up. Because . Alberto Corral missed stage connections and was unable to appear. Bob Kruse and Pedro Brazil, previ ously slated for the middle event, opened the program, with the winner to meet Jim Casey in the seml-windup. It was a draw, with Kruse taking a tumble in the second round with a wristlock and press, and Brazil evened the score in the fourth with a Bos- j Like alrowbemes "?49v 4t I : fil for a king (gjfjX year after Year cfior year, after year L.
