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

"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

leaguers will be led by the vet

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.

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

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

It was a draw, with Kruse
taking a tumble in the second
round with a wristlock and
