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. '

By RUSS NEWLAND
PORTLAND, July 14 UP) A
missing persons bureau: Base
ball's forgotten man of the Pa
cific coast league is little, self
effacing Edmund J. (E. J.)
Schefter.
He is the man who bobbed
up, unknown, to purchase the
Portland club , something like
nine years ago.-. . . He bought
it for a fair price and sold last
year on the same kind of a deal.
.... . His profit couldn't .be ex
actly described as in the "im
portant money" class. . . . '
Some baseball people think
Schefter is the unluckiest man
to become affiliated with the
coast loop in its 40-year history.
. . . He sold before the boom.
. . . Attendances are up some 15
per cent this season. . . . Fresh
money and thousands of new
residents along the coast have
proven a. tonic out this way for
a ,sport which some veterans
eyed gloomily as late as last
February. . . .
Charles Graham, president of
the San Francisco Seals, was
one who viewed baseball's fate
with downright pessimism. . . .
He has since admitted he had
gauged the public's attitude in
correctly. . . . The Seals are
making more dough than in
many a season. . . . Besides they
just sold their young outfield
star, George Metkovich to the
Boston Red Sox for $25,000 and

a pretty fair replacement play
er. .
In view of the new deal. . . .
Increased attendances and gate
receipts. . . . Schefter's wisdom
in disposing of his Portland
holdings is questioned by some.
. . . But not by old E. J. . . .
Business was one long lasting
headache. ... He wonders now
why he ever got into it. . . .
Twenty wild horses couldn't
drag him back in. . . . Even if
he saw a profit staring him in
the face, pleading "come and
get me." ...
Schefter was a strange, for
lorn figure in the game. ... He
did not make friends easily and
had few. . . . We're one of them
and glad to make the statement.
. . . When he told you some
thing he meant it and backed
it up. . . . We'll take such peo
ple any time. . . .
He owned the Portland club
eight years, which he says, "was
three years too long." .. . His
193S team won the pennant yet
was lucky to wind up in the
black. . . .
In other lines Schefter's story
was one of success. ... He
hauled himself up by his own
bootstraps after hitch-hiking in
to this country from Canada,
most of the way by the heel
and toe method, in 1904. ... He
built up a thriving business
here as a druggist and manufac
turing pharmacist. . . . Then he
got into baseball, because his
son, Rollie, had been a catcher
at Notre Dame. ...
Schefter lives in retirement
now, still lonely. . . . His son
Rollie is a lieutenant in the
army, overseas. . . . His other
boy, Bob, a doctor, is a commis
sioned officer stationed in Tex
as. .. . The old man lives alone,
probably unknown to nine
tenths of the population of
Portland. . . . Such is fame. . . .
Few know this. . . . His mid
dle initial stands for no name.
. . . His middle name was "Ig
natius." ... He didn't like it
and assumed the initial "J". .
Canine capers: This city is
the paradise of dog racing peo
ple. ... A sport that was
chased out of California does
land office business here. . . .
Bettors break down the gates to
get their money on the line. . . .
Dick Doering, one of the offi
cials, estimates the meeting will
have an average daily handle
well over $125,000. . . . Some
75 per cent of the play is on
the "quinella," pick the first
and second dog whether they
run 1-2 or 2-1. . . . There are
eleven quinella betting win
dows. .' . . War relief agencies
have benefited by some $40,000
from the meeting.

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.

"When you have two men on
and someone hits a home run,
the damage is done," remarked
Billy Southworth, manager of the
St. Louis Cardinals and the Na
tional league All-Stars . . . And
that just about sums up last
night's game in which the Na
tional leaguers took their custom
ary shellacking from the Amer
ican leaguers . . . Things looked
quite rosy for the senior circuit
until Mort Cooper walked a cou
ple of guys in the second and
along came Bobby (the swinging)
Doerr and boom . . . The ball
game was practically over.
BLISTERED MISTER
The blister on Mort Cooper's
finger, which came from a mis
guided match, provided a lot on
pre-game conversation but Mort
tried his best to keep from using
it as an alibi ... He lost his con
trol a little, he said and that
was the only trouble with his
pitching.
