. The Foening Slar Sporls A—14 WASHINGTON, D. €. TUESDAY, WALKERS START | CLANED FORGED | Lack of Fresh Hurlers Hit' National League Team, Pilot Contends. BY ALAN GOUL Associated Press Sports Writer. LEVELAND, July 9.—It comes only once a year and it's a great base ball show—this major league all-star tourna- ment—but the feeling today in Na- tional League quarters was that it's a much sounder policy to settle current arguments in the world series. The Nationals are not completely discouraged. nor have they the slightest idea of suggesting the abandonment of an event that has rapidly captured the country’s popular fancy as a spectacle, but the fact remains they have yet to | win an all-star game, in three at- | tempts. | On the other hand, they have been | victorious over the American League in the last two world championships | and look forward with considerable confidence now to the Fall festivities, | when, in all likelihood, the New York | Giants will strive to wipe out the s! of what happened yesterday before the gaze of 69.812 cash customers in the | gigantic Cleveland Stadium. Most Decisive Triumph. THE third straight triumph of the | % Americans, by a 4-to-1 score, was easily the most decisive scored since‘ the all-star idea was hatched in 1933 | at Chicago. | It was especially sweet for the forces | of the junior league for the reasoni they were supposed to be somewhat below par, crippled by the loss of sev- eral outstanding stars of previous years and generally rated, in advance, as| this year’s underdogs ! It was simultaneously a bitter pill for the Nationals, who found them- selves outpitched, outplayed and out- smarted under circumstances that left plenty of room for the second-guessers to go into action. Most of the arguments in the wake of the game today centered about Manager Frank Frisch’s judgment in starting his own sout Bi er. instead of Hal Schumacher, sinker- ball ace of the New York Gian Walker was rapped for three runs. in- cluding a booming homer by Jimmie Foxx, in the first inning, so that the ball game was all over but the shout- ing by the time Schumacher went in to twirl a four-inning tri | Frisch Has Answer. | “JPPRINCE HAL” himself yielded the fourth run, but he fanned five and gave an individual peformance equally as brilliant as that of either Lefty Gomez or Mel Harder, who com- bined to pitch the Americans to a four-hit victory | The psychological effect of starting Schumacher instead of Walker, who was named as a replacement for Van | Mungo the night before the game, | might have altered the entire picture On the other hand, with their big hitters mostly handcuffed anyway. if might have made no difference to the Nationals in the final outcome. Frisch himself had the best answer to his criti “It's sheer second-guessing to say I should have started Schumacher,” he declared. “Sure, I figured Hal was our ace, but I had to take into ac-| count that he and Walker were the only two fresh pitchers available. All| three of the others, Dizzy Dean. Paul Derringer and Carl Hubbell, pitched | the day before. “I couldn’t ask Schumacher to pitch the whole game, could I, without get- ting into a fight with Bill Terry? So what? I gambled on Walker getting away to a good start and then figured on Schumacher to step in with a strong finish. “T KNOW it didnt work, but the margin was pretty thin, at that. If Walker hadn't grooved that high curve for Foxx in the first inning, if Medwick had played Hemsley's triple better in the second frame. and if we had placed a hit or two in the clutches, | it would have been a different story. | “I would try the same strategy all over again, under the same circum- stances.” WELSH IN FLASHY FIELD Seeded 7th at Spring Lake,Where Parker Is Placed No. 1. | SPRING LAKE, N.

SPORTS copE N. L. Unable to Refute A. L. Supremacy Claim After Third Rout. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. CLEVELAND, July 9.—1If three strikes are out. what. then, is the Na- tional League after three straight de- feats in all-star competition. This was a gleeful question put by the American League's apostles to- day, and just as joyously they an- swered themselves: “out!” And while supremacy over the National League is not a new claim by followers of base ball's junior major loop. their contention today appeared to have much more than the usual partisanship behind it. In the minds of all but the con- fimed senior circuiters yesterday's smashing victory for the Americans in the third annual “dream” game lent credence to the belief. Nationals’ Excuses Weak. ’]‘0 COMBAT these new claims to- day after that 4-to-1 defeat, the older loop's followers could offer only two arguments, and these, at best, sounded weak. . “What,” they queried. “if Frankie Frisch had starred Hal Schumacher? And how about the last two world series?” To nullify these points the Amer- icans offered three box scores show- ing a total of only 20 hits for the Nationals. Yesterday’s showed only four, only half of which were well-hit balls. And had not Schumacher given up four hits and a base on balls in his three-inning term?

LEVELAND, July 9.—Dizzy Dean, recent subject of Manager Frankie Frisch's wrath for not taking a bow at an exhibition ball game, spent the day chuckling about his “warning” to the St. Louis Cardi- nal manager. i Accused of rank Deanishness for allegedly letting down several thousand St. Paul fans, Dizzy re- versed the charges on Frisch last night while they were on the way here for the all-star game. As the train carrying the Na- tional League stars stopped at a small Indiana town a group of youthful base ball fans stormed in for autographs. Dizzy, in his stocking feet, went to the platform of the coach, auto- graphed cards and scraps of paper and persuaded other players to do likewise. Frisch at the time was " Autograph Seekers. undressed and in his drawing room. “Come on Frank,” Dizzy pleaded in a modulated bellow. “These poor kids won’t have no chance to see the all-star game, and they want to see you. Come on out and speak to them.” Frisch, however, was tired, and not dressed for company, and he asked to be excused. “Okay, Frank,” Dizzy announced. “T've given you a fair chance and you've fallen down. I gotta good notion to fine you.” Pressed for a statement, Frisch delivered the opinion that Dizzy was still in “one of his trances.” Later Dizzy said he had changed his mind and would not even suspend his manager. “I'm letting him off with & warning this time,” explained Dizzy. 1 b1 ;]GREE | of him and his penant seeking Tiger together the greatest collection of stars from each league in- stead of the champion clubs, as does the world series? Stars Among Stars. ’I‘HE latter point bore emphasis from the Americans and even from neutrals, to whom it kas become ap- parent that the janior circuit pos- sesses just a few more great ball players who are capable of making its | all-star team just a couple of runs better per game. In 1933 it was Babe Ruth with a home iun in the crucial moment and Leity Gomez and Bob Grove to quell the Na- tionals’ bats. In 1934 it was Mel Harder. with a curve too dazzling for the senior loopers. Yesterday it was Lefty Go- mez and Harder again—and James Emory Foxx.

By the Associated Press ETROIT, July 9—If Hank Greenberg, the current home run sensation of the majors, equals or betters Babe Ruth's record of 60 four-base swats, it will be because he couldn’t help it.

BY GRANTLAND RICE e HE Babe wasn't on hand—but & young fellow named James Emory Foxx was there in his place. The young giant from Sudlersville, Md., broke up the Cleveland show, leaving the National League still on the outside looking in. One ball game doesn’t mean a lot, but three all-star victories, spaced three years apart, show the main punching power still belongs with the American League. Even with Hank Greenberg missing. It was Walker who took the main rap, and what might have happened if Frisch had called on Schumacher, Dean and Derringer, in order, is an- other guess. As it turned out, the American League drew the better pitching, and this was one of the main surprises of the all-star day. Four scattered hits is a light shower, far below what might be labeled normal expectancy, with the pick of the older circuit moving up to the plate. Vaughan, Martin, Medwick, Frisch, | Terry, Ott were figured to have a few more pinches of nitroglycerin packed in their bats—but the American League pitching, headed by Gomez and Harder, was entirely too strong. Most of the day's attack belonged to James Emory Foxx, who is still about | easy choices. There may be argu- | as gentle a playmate as a grizzly bear. On this last occasion the shrill, plaintive bird-like cry from National League fans will be even louder than it was before. They are still wonder- ing why Schumacher, Derringer or Dean didn't start. An All-Star Medley. N CONNECTION with the all-star game at Cleveland, an old-time base ball fan—going back 40 years, according to his testi- mony—asks us to select all-time, all- star National and American League base ball teams and slip him the outcome. Unfortunately, we can drift back only 35 years, so the cast will have to come from that part of the trail after the days of Radbourne and Ewing—of King Kelly and Amos Rusie—and many others. But here it is, as we have seen it: AMERICAN LEAGUS. Catchers—Mickey Cochrane, De- troit and Philadelphia; Bill Dickey, New York. Pitchers—Walter Johnson, Wash- ington; Ed Walsh, Chicago; Bob Grove, Philadelphia; Chief Bender, Philadelphia. First base — George Sisler, Louis. Second base—Eddie Collins, Ath- letics. Shortstop—Joe Gronin, Washing- ton and Boston (at his best). Third base—Jimmy Collins, Bos- ton Red Sox. Outfield—Ty Cobb, Detroit; Tris Speaker, Boston; Babe Ruth, New York. NATIONAL LEAGUE. Catchers — Johnny Kling, Chi- cago; Roger Bresnahan, New York, Pitchers — Christy Mathewson, New York; Grover Alexander, Phil- adelphia; Nap Rucker, Brooklyn; Jack Chesbro, Pittsburgh. First base—Bill Terry, New York. Second base—Rogers Hornsby, St. Louis. Shortstop—Hans Wagner, Pitts- burgh. Third base—Arthur Devlin, New York. Outfield—Fred Clark, Pittsburgh; Jimmy Sheckard, Brooklyn and Chicago; Joe Medwick, St. Louis. The Round-Up. IT MAY be noticed in this array that Denton Tecumseh (Cy) Young is left out—for the reason that old Cy split his time between the Na- tional and American Leagues. He won more than 500 major league ball games—more than most men ever pitch—and that established his place. If these two teams could ever meet, I'd pick the American League on the St. | pitching of Johnson and Walsh— plus the outfield offense of Cobb, Speaker and Ruth. In my opinion, Walter Johnson is the greatest pitcher who ever lived. In addition to his list of victories, largely with a second- division team, he leads the parade in strikeouts and shutouts and low- hit games—and that must be the answer. ‘Walter Johnson, facing Christy Mathewson—the Matty of 1905 and the Johnson of 1912—welld be some-, A thing to look at if you care for art along those lines. And yet Cobb once told me that the greatest five-year pitcher he ever saw was Ed Walsh, who one year won a city series against the Cubs. There may be some argument about slipping in Joe Medwick of the Cardi- nals as one of the all-time outfielders of the National League. What about Zack Wheat of the Dodgers? Pep Young of the Giants? or Turkey Mike Donlin? Maybe. But Medwick is fast—and he can hit, field and fight his way. Great Players Missing. IT 1S tough enough to leave off such stars as Nap Lajole, Bill Bradley, Johnny Evers, Joe Tinker, Lou Gehrig, Jimmy Foxx, Ed Plank, Frank Chance, Billy Sullivan and a long line of others. But this, after all, is only one opinion. This combination would make two preity fair ball clubs, taken by and large, here and there. The outstanding stars on this list are easy enough to name. One is Hans Wagner at short. Cobb and Ruth are two more. Speaker is an- | other. Johnson and Mathewson are | ments about many of the others, but | not about these. | And except for their infractions of | the code it wouldn't be any too easy | to cut away from Shoeless Joe Jack- | son and Hal Chase.
