Record Throng Awaiting Struggle Between Picked Teams of Major Leagues even hasn't sporting eV since Max Stribling in the I weight title bout heat wave National Leaguers Look Stronger—Americans Hit by Mishaps. BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. LEVELAND, July 6—The greatest crowd that ever has| paid to witness a base ball game, a capacity gathering of nearly 85,000, is expected to jam Cleveland's Municipal Stadium Mon- day for the big parade of the all- stars in the third annual game be- tween hand-picked forces of the National and American Leagues. Anything can happen when n! galaxy of such satellites of the dia-| mond clashes, but it looks to be a| ripe occasion for the Nationals to turn | the tide after two previous setbarksA: They are fortified with a dozen of the ace performers of the New York Giants and St. Louis Cardinals, world | champions.

Only a few | of the 69.000 reserved seats remained unsold, according to Walter Davis, | the stadium commissioner. Bleacher seats, to the number of 10933, will go on sale Monday morning. Standing room will be sold for about 5:000 ad- ditional fans. A corps of 1,500 ushers and police will handle the lhrupg. The record base ball outpouring in Cleveland Stadium numbered 80,284/ on July 31, 1932, for a game between | the Athletics and Indians. Of this total. 76.969 were cash customers Base ball record books list the all- time record as 85.265 for a double- header between the Yankees and Ath- letics at the Yankee Stadium on Sep- tember 9, 1928, but this total is shroud- ed in some doubt. The paid admis- sions that day were slightly more than *70.000. On that basis an all-time rec- ord also was set for “dead heads.” Cleveland's all-star show at any rate, will overshadow the spectacle of- fered either at Comiskey Park, Chi-| cago, in 1933, or at the Polo Grounds" last year. The Ohio metrupol; is making the occasion & civic holiday. It always has been a great base ball| town and the home folks will give the rival “dream teams" a thunderous welcome. | American League Loses Talent. | TWo ot Cleveland’s own, Mel Harder | and Earl Averill, played major roles in the American League's second | straight victory last year. but only | one of them will be back to seek the center of the stage. Averill, the club- bing outfielder. was put out of com-| mission recently by an exploding fire- cracker and will see the game only as | a spectator. Harder is a member of the five-man pitching staff selected by Manager Mickey Cochrane. | The accident to Averill is one of a | series of mishaps or slip-ups which | appear to have cost the Americans considerable of their best strength. Bill Dickey, star Yankee backstop, has failed to recover from recent imunesi and been withdrawn from the squad.| His substitute is Rollie Hemsley, hard- hitting catcher of thé St. Louis | Browns. Al Simmons, White Sox out- fielder, and Lou Gehrig, Yankee first baseman, have suffered such severe slumps this year that it's questionable | how -useful they will be. Meanwhile, Hank Greenberg, setting the pace for both leagues in home runs as well as | Tuns batted in, strangely is missing from the all-star fanks at a time| when a couple of his long-range blows would be most welcome. Cochrane Keeps Rowe. NHE pitching prospects for the Amer- jcans are equally spotty, on the basis of Spring performances. School- | boy Rowe, big Tiger right-hander, has | been highly erratic, but Cochrane yes- | terday denied reports he would be withdrawn. Tommy Bridges, big win- | ner for Detroit so far, may get the | starting assignment, with Harder as| No. 2 man. The use of Lefty Gomez | of the Yankees, who was hit hard at the outset of last year's game, or Lefty Grove of the Red Sox probably will depend on how many left-handed hit- | ters the Nationals send into action at | one time. Frankie Frisch, manager of the world champion Cardinals, ran into a series of unforseen difficulties in the direction of the National League squad when the Dean brothers staged another “rebellion” over an exhibi- | tion-game appearance at St. Paul and | Van Mungo, Brooklyn pitcher, turned | up with a bruised finger that probably | will prevent his appearing in the | game. Frisch had planned to use Dizzy | Dean as his starting pitcher, but when | Diz and brother Paul refused even to | show themselves to the crowd at St. Paul he announced firmly that he (Continued on Page B-9, Column 5.

LOUIS, July 6—Dizzy Dean, alternately base ball's bad boy and hero, avowedly is to go unpunished for his refusal to appear yesterday in an exhibition game at St. Paul. Despite his rebellion and unkind remarks about the world champion St. Louis Cardinal Club being “a chain gang,” team officials agreed today that the incident was “fin- ished.” After a lengthy conference with President Sam Breadon, Manager Frankie Frisch this afternoon de- clared he planned no action against the truculent prima donna of the Red Bird pitching staff. Plainly weary of the whole affair, neither Breadon nor Frisch would comment at length. “It's all blown over, I tell you,” By the Assoclated Press. | | the irritated manager said. “No punishment is planned for Dean. I'm sick of the whole matter.” However, after twice changing his mind. Frisch still was undecided whether he would name Dizzy to start in the all-star game at Cleve- land Monday. Frisch will manage the National League team. “I don't know for sure yet who will be the opening pitcher,” he added. “I haven't decided defi- nitely.” Unrepentant and unchastened, Dizzy, who charged during his oral explosion at St. Paul that the Cardinals “were a chain gang, an outfit that would send you back if you didn't hit .600,” was still in a rebellious mood. “If he (Frisch) warts to keep me out of the all-star game, it's all VICTORY POST TEAM STARTS WEDNESDAY | League Runners-Up Last Season Will Oppose Georgetown !

LANSBURGHS AHEAD IN 10-FRAME GAME Crisaful's Bingle Gets Winning Tally in League Battle With Hechts. CRISAP’UL'S single in the tenth inning scoring Mitchell, who had doubled for his fourth hit of the game, gave the Lansburgh nine a thrilling | 4-3 victory over the Hecht Co. yes- terday as play opened in the second half of the Department Store League. In the other game, Kann's con- tinued to show the form which brought them victory in the first half by soundly trouncing Palais Royal, 10 to 1.

It's his privelege,” Dean declared. The elder member of “me and Paul,” base ball's best known brother act, has been a stormy petrel since he joined the Cardinals. As a rookie in 1931 he threatened to quit the club and was sent back to Houston. In 1932 he temporarily deserted the club and talked of demanding his “release.” During 1933 he was involved in one major row, also over failure to play in an exhibition game. Last year both Dizzy and Paul were suspended and fined for fail- ure to make an exhibition trip to Detroit. Last month after Dizzy became disgusted on the field and ceased to do his best at Pittsburgh, Man- ager Frisch threatened a $5,000 fine if the offense was repeated.
