From 1930 through 1934 no matter how #trong the Yanks or how weak the Nationals. it was a fight pretty mucn n favor of the Washingtons. the The complete turn of the worm this | #cason has left the Griffs somewhat breathless with rise.

The ball which Ben Chapman hit for a home run to give the Yanks a 3-2 lead was described by Bucky - Harris a “slow curve which Burke knows doggone well Chapman can hit cut of any ball park.” After what has huppened in their tussles with the Yenks, it is little wonder that the Nationals are looking forward to leaving the big town to- morrow night and entraining for Bos- ton.

S'aff Correspondent of The Star EW YORK, Jume 29.—Mr. Mickey Cochrane, Navin Field. V Detroit, Mich. 4 Dear Mike S’ help me, I am not a chronic second guesser, Mickey. I would just as leave let that fellow-townsman of | vours, Joe Louis, sock me on the jaw | as pit this scanty store of base ball knowledge against that which 's in the tip of your little finger. But a | guy can’t help wondering a little after seeing the team you picked for the | all-star game a week from Monday in Cleveland. It is a great team, Mickey, no ques- tion about it. There are all the boys who have been great players for a number of years—Simmons, Vosmik, Gehrig, Gehringer, Foxx, Cronin, Grove, Gomez and a lot of others. | They form just about the greatest “money” team, probably, that can be gathered from the American League. But what I'm wondering is this: Couldn't the selection of these 20! players been a little fairer? Myer is On Top. | Maybe I've been hearing things, | Mickey, but wasn't Buddy Myer put | on the list of 20 American Leaguers | only after Earl Averill was forced out when a thunderbolt exploded in bis | hand? That's what they are saying {and it sounds funny, inasmuch as| Buddy is leading all second basemen | in the league at bat and, gosh knows, | he’s up at the top in fielding. | And where is Hank Greenberg of | your own club, the Tigers? The first baseman I saw mentioned in the paper , was Lou Gehrig. Also in this same paper there was no mention of fel- ilows like Sammy Hale, Rollie Hems- ley, Eric McNair, Bill Knickerbocker and Johnny Stone. That's what I was wondering about. This may be going a bit too strong, Mickey, and, if so, apologies are in | order. But must Gehrig play in this dream game everv vear? And Gehr- inger, Cronin, Grove, Gomez, 8im- | mens, Rick Ferrell, Chapman, too? How About Greenberg? 'rHE all-star game, it is realized, is a test of the cream of the Ameri- can and the National Leagues. The fellow who manages the team natu- rally wants to win, both for his sake | and for that of the league he repre- sents. So isn't it possible for man- agers unconsciously to lean toward the old guard, tried and true, when he selects his team? Even if the old guard is outplayed by other men dur- ing the regular season? Maybe I'm all wet, Mike, but by the same token yours truly is just dense | enough to wonder why Gehrig, bat- ting .304 and responsible for only 40 runs driven across this year, is nomi- aated over Greenberg, who is socking for .311 and has batted across exactly twice as many runs. | A guy is crazy, I suppose, to kick labout Gehringer starting at necand‘ "bnse, because he is a great player | and is batting .339 this season. But Buddy Myer has been greater. He's | got & higher batting average and has been responsible for more runms| driven across. Cronin Outbatted. ! about Cronin at short- | stop? 1Is he still the greatest shortstop in the league in spite of his .263 batting average and a low fleld- | ing record? Cronin is a great “name,” | of course, and a money player. But and McNair for an even .300. It is kind of embarrassing to speak about catching. You're the boss and you're the catcher. But you're also hitting only .283. Bill Dickey and Rick Ferrell, the other backstops are batting .303 and .281, respec- tively.

It All Seems Unfair. | ‘L SIMMONS, hitting for .263, is wins and eight losses. When the memorable afternoon rolls around and the American Leaguers load the cases, who wouldn't like to see Simmons walk up to the plate, no matter what kind of an average he’s got? Who wouldn't like to see Grove whip in his fast ball for three innings as he can do? I kmow I would. . But it still seems unfair, Mickey, to the other boys. Myer, for instance, probably will sit on the bench most of the game. Greenberg will hear it over the radio, and so will Hemsley, Stone, Knickerbocker, Sammy Hale, Hasas and the rest of the boys who would give their right arms to be able to say, when they hold their grand- children on their knees, “Yes, I played in the 1935 all-star game.” . The game itself is for charity. The proceeds go to old and retired ball players who are suffering from physi- cal aflments.

FULLERTON, Jr,, Associated Press Sports Writer NE remarkable pitching per- formance by Roy Henshaw, tiny lefthanded product of the Windy City high schools and the University of Chicago, has put a new aspect upon the pennant pretensions of the Chicago Cubs. Henshaw, whose status on the Cub mound staff was tinged with consider- able uncertainty, stepped out with one of the season’s best flinging feats yesterday, when he shut out the mighty Pittsburgh Pirates with a single hit—a sixth-inning double by relief pitcher Mace Brown on which Preddie Lindstrom barely failed to make a shoestring catch, The Cubs won the game 8 to 0, | with an early attack upon Jim Wea- Lver and Ralph Birkofer, cut the | Pirates’ margin over them to 1%, | games and the Cardinals’' to one, but | that was just a part of the tale. i’I‘HE rise of Henshaw, a fi | man in the big time, adds con- siderable strength to the rather wab- bly Cubs’ mound department, which | has had Bill Lee and Tex Carleton as its most dependable members zo far. Today's victory enabled the youngster to equal Carleton’s record of five victories and three defeats and if he can keep it up he should be able to take some of the burden off Lefty Larry French and Lonnie War- neke, who have not been winning their full share of games. ‘The Cub triumph was timed just right to produce the fullest effect as both the Cardinals and Pirates suf- fered reverses while the Giants, far | ahead of the field and showing the big difference in the “games lost” column, had to go 10 tough innings |to take an 11-to-7 decision from | Brooklyn, | The Cards ran into Paul Derringer | on one of his best davs and got enly | eight hits while Cincinnati pounded Jess Haines for a 4-to-2 victory.
