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.

Catcher Buddy Rosar of the American league All Stars made a nifty slid back to first

Sturm caught him off the base. That's Sturm sprawled at left and Rosar at right. Lee Ballan

Keltner scoring. That finished

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.

Harry Givan Fires 69 in

By Russ Newlind
Spokane, Wash.. July 8 (JPi
The slickest field of golfers

present conditions started firing
looay in ine last half of 36 hole
qualifying tests of the western
amateur championship and if
first round performances were
repeated high scores promised
10 oe tne rule, rather than the
exception.
Harry Givan of Seattle. 1937
American Walker Cup player,
set the pace for the first round
yesterday but his sub-par effort
was only one of five turned in
on the Manito course.
He knocked out the finest
golf of the first day, with a con
trolled hook that brought tre
mendous distances off the tee
on the flat but difficult layout.
Givan carded a 35-34. Par re
quirements are a pairf 36s.
Calllson Next
Trailing the husky Seattle
entry were Verne Calllson of
Sacramento, Calif., at 70; and
three 71 shooters, Harry Hiller
of Seattle, a navy seaman; Bruce
McCormick of Los Angeles, and
Wilford Wehrle of Racine, Wis.,
holder of the Mexican amateur
title.
Defending champion and na
tlonal amateur titlist Corp. Mar
vin "Bud" Ward, U.S.A., was
somewhat off the pace at 73,
while two other notables, Na
tional Public Links Champ Bill
Welch of Houston, Tex., and
Corp. Pat Abbott, U.S.A., of
Los Angeles floundered far back
as the second half opened. Each
had a 76 and were lucky to get
it. Abbott, former national pub
lic links top man, was defeated
by Corp. Ward last year In the
finals of the national amateur
at Omaha.
