Feller Fails As American All-Stars Blank Army-Navy Team, 5-0 Winners Score Thrice Off Fireballer 62,094- Spec tators See Relief Game. Bv Charles Dunkley Cleveland, July 8 (IP) The American league All-Stars have proved by all tests that they are, currently, the mightiest in baseball. Before a patriotic throng of 62,094 spectators in Cleveland's mammoth municipal stadium last night, the triumphant Amer ican leaguers also proved their pitching was too sharp for eyes dulled by months of devotion to another task and their bats too potent for pitching arms grown rusty in the armed scrv- ices of their country. The American leaguers rout ed proud Bullet Bob Feller of the navy, Cleveland s own (ire bailer, with a three run outburst at the start, and then went on to trounce Lieut. Gordon (Mickey) Cochrane'! soldiers and sailors, 5 to 0. For six innings the American leaguers clung to a 3 to 0 lead collected at Feller's expense in the first two, and then sewed up the game in the seventh with a two-run attack on Mickey Har ris, former Boston Red Sox lefty. Mickey Calm "Iron Mike" Cochrane, once manager of the Detroit Tigers, and one of the greatest catchers In baseball history, took the de feat calmly. "We lost In the first inning," Cochrane explained. "We had the bases loaded and a big op portunity. That's all. You don't get a chance to beat a team like those American leaguers every day In the week. Poor Feller didn't have a thing. I never seen him get belted like that. It proves that he wasn't there that his duties in the navy have robbed him of his timing, his control." Best-looking pitcher of the night was John Dungan Rigney of the Chicago White Sox, now "gob" at the Great Lakes naval training station. The 27-year-old Rigney, went to Fel ler's rescue with no one out In the second, and pitched five runlcss innings, allowing the mighty American leaguers only three hits, one a miserable in field grounder that Rigney was unable to field. Rigney left the game In the sixth to make way for a pinch hitter, Johnny Lucadcllo, formerly of the St. Louis Browns. One Threat The Service All-Stars threat ened chiefly in the first inning when Jim Dauby, Jr., of the Cleveland Indians was on the mound. Bushy, whose fother made pitching history with Cleveland 22 years ago, got the bases loaded, with one out, chiefly through his wlldness, which he blamed agnlnst "poor umpiring." He walked Benny McCoy of Philadelphia A's, and then Don Padgett of the St. Louis Cardinals sent a single screerhing into left field. Cecil Travis of the Washington Sena tors also was passed, filling the bases. Up stepped Joe Grucc of the St. Louis Browns. He waited for three balls and then looked at three strikes. Johnny Sturm, Yankees' first baseman, ended it by grounding out. The homecoming of Feller, making his first appearance in Cleveland s ball field since late List September, was pathetic. When he proudly strolled to the nvund, cheers greeted him After Lou Boudreau, 24 year old Cleveland manager, had filed out, Tommy Henrich of the Yankees rolled a scratch single towards the box, which Feller was unable to reach. Ted Wil liams, the Boston clouter, was passed and Joe DiMaggio blast ed a single to center, scoring Henrich. Then Rudy York. Tiijer first baseman, lifted a Quick Throw Catches Buddy Rosar r , - -.. -c Z LA .- ' Catcher Buddy Rosar of the American league All Stars made a nifty slid back to first base in the second inning of the gam against the Service team when Pitcher Jim Bagby struck out, but a quick throw from Service Team Catcher Frank Pytlak to First Baseman Johnny Sturm caught him off the base. That's Sturm sprawled at left and Rosar at right. Lee Ballan fant is the umpire. American league won 5-0.

That finished Feller. Sailor Rigney came in to ston the proceedings. When Harris started in me seventh.

In all. the American leaguers collected 10 hits; the soldiers and sailors six. ANGOTT DECISION Philadelphia, July 8. (P) Lightweight Champion Sammy Angott had to his credit today third straight win over Phila delphia's Bob Montgomery, but his latest victory has started a controversy that may lead to a fourth meeting. Angott bulled and mauled his way to a split decision over Montgomery at Shlbe park Inst night in a 12-rnund non-title scrap. The decision was booed by many in the crowd of 16.0S0 that contributed to a gross gate of $33,353.50, but there seemed to be as many who declared the decision was Just. Charley Jones, manager of the Washington, Pa., champion, summed it up In a few words: "We won, didn't we. We've beaten him three times now. twice In Philadelphia. But we're willing to fight him again if the fans want it." Veteran Byron Speece Pitches Portland to 4-1 Win Over Seattle (By the Associated Press) Two veteran Pacific coast league pitchers are tabbed as "old reliables" by their respec tive fans today. Byron Speece, Portland hurl er, wasn't going to take his scheduled turn against Seattle last night because he has been troubled with a sore arm, but he turned out a five hitter that was good enough to beat the Rainlers, 4 to 1. While Speece was working his best performance of the year. his teammates were pounding Dick Barrett, who leads the league in games won, for nine hits. The game, played at Portland. was the first meeting of the two northern teams this season. The win halted a Beaver losing streak at five games. At Hollywood, the San Fron- cisco Seals, who pushed the Beavers into a far corner of the cellar last week, called on Sam Gibson, 42-year-old twirler, and he shut out the Stars, 2 to 0, with a four-hit stint. Oakland continued to have trouble as they dropped a 6 to decision to Los Angeles at Emeryville. Sacramento, playing at San Diego for the first time this sea son, stopped the Padres at 7 to 5.
