Americans Use No Bombs To Knock Off Nationals In Major All Star Battle By BID FEDER PHILADELPHIA, July 14 (IP) Like the guy who doesn't need money because he has a million dollars in the bank, the Ameri can league finally has proved it doesn't need the Yankees as long as it can do the bombers' tricks with a bat. This, naturally, is the home- run or a reasonable facsimile thereof a Yankee specialty from 'way back in baseball. And, while Manager Joe McCarthy didn't use a single member of his bomber brigade in knocking off the National leaguers S to S last night in the 11th edition of the all-star slugging party, the way it happened made you look quick to be sure it wasn't a Yan kee putting on the crusher. But this time it was Robert Pershing Doerr, the Los Angeles "Lulu" who has been playing a lot of infield for the Boston Red Sox, but has more or less been the second-base shadow cast by the Yanks' Joe Gordon for sever ' al seasons. Well, Joe the Flash was just the "American league bench jockey" last night, and the Nationals went out in front with a run in the first inning and were just bouncing along behind Mort Cooper. Then, in the second, before you or the 31,938 cash customers knew what was cooking, the roof fell in, and it was the old Yankee story dressed up in a Red Sox suit. Mort's fireball lost its control for just a couple of minutes and he walked Chet Laabs, the St. Louis Brownes nimble fly chaser, and Jake Early, Wash ington's work horse catcher. Then up stepped Robert Persh ing. Mort slid a curve ball off the finger he'd blistered a few hours before, apparently show ing how not to light a cigarette. Bobby aimed it at the left field stands, and it just barely gasped its way into the lower seats. A yard shorter, and it would have been only a fly out. That was your ball game, and for all the rest of the game meant to the final result, the boys might just as well have gone to the movies for the rest of the evening. The Americans simply ambled to their eighth win in the 11 all-star games, which are rapidly turning into plain old-fashioned nightmares to the Nationals. Waterman Makes Little Money on Garrison Battle PORTLAND, July 14 (IP) Matchmaker Joe Waterman said today he counted $13,499 as the gate after the Rodolfo Ramirez Jimmy Garrison fight Monday, but when he finished paying ex penses only $65 was left. Even this was somewhat of a relief to Waterman, who thought for a while he was $1000 in the hole. It seems one of his assist ants somehow misplaced $1100. It was found later. ' Commission to Establish Bird Reserve at Creswell EUGENE, July 14 W) The state game commission intends to establish a migratory bird re serve, the only one of its kind in the Willamette valley, near Creswell in the Camas swale re gion.

Portlanders, Angels Pull Vin Streak Lot Angeles Men Lengthen First Place Lead to 12 Gomes by Podra Victory By The Associated Press , The Portland Beavers and the Los Angeles Angels went right along with their winning ways In the only two games that were played in the Pacific Coast Base ball league yesterday. The Beavers, newly broke In to third place in the league scramble, kept right on climbing with a 5 to 2 victory over the Hollywood Stars. Tho Beavers knocked off the Stars on their home grounds by virtue of a four-run spree in the seventh in ning. The uprising was helped along by four errors and a couple of bases on balls donated by the Stars. The Angels, not having any place to climb to ahead of first place, where they've been all season, merely lengthened third lead to a full 12 games over the second place San Francisco Seals by taking a 2 to 1 victory from the Padres at San Diego. The Angels combined two hits and two Padre errors in the third inning to push across their two runs. The Seals and the Oakland Acorns, idle insofar as the league was concerned, put to gether an all-star combination which took a 14 to 3 trimming from an all-star army-navy team which was composed almost ex clusively of major league play ers, who rapped out 16 hits and played errorless ball. The $3,937.63 the game produced went to the army-navy athletic fund. By The Associated Press COAST LEAGUE ' W. L.

If the area Is clas sified as "wild," there will be no construction of roads, summer homes, hotels, resorts, or com' mcrcial cutting of timber, it was announced. Naming of the Gearhart mouiv tain area does not involve any of the operating companies, tim bcrmcn said. Legal notices, showing boun daries of the area, were posted at tho Klamath county court house. Unless objection Is filed within 90 days, the classifica tion will go through, foresters said. Corcfully controlled grazing of domestic livestock will be per mitted and development of small water storage projects which will not Involve road construc tion may be permitted subject to careful regulation, according to Edward P. Cliff, forest supervi sor of Fremont. The Gcarhart mountain area is one of the largest , timbered, roadless areas remaining in southern Oregon. Bccauso of its rugged nature and presence of fine mountain streams, and pe culiar geological formation, it is ideally adapted for primitive rec reation use. It will be the pur pose to preserve Gcarhart moun tain in all its primitive grandeur. Cliff said. Most of the timber it supports is non commercial. There are a few small patches of ponderosa pine timber, but they are not of sufficient size to be of commercial Importance. noncD m Tear out this blank to matt in your "want-ad."
