PORTS. SPORTS. National League Under Fire : Sarron' 5-1 Favorite Over Dean BOSTON TILT TEST OF LOOP'S METTLE Big Burden Shouldered by Charley Grimm Charged With Dynamite. BY JOHN LARDNER. OSTON, July 7.—The game of base ball (patent applied for) would not absolutely collapse if the National Leaguers lost Eheir fourth straight all-star contest to She American League on the f1 at Bawn of this gay old trading post by ghe River Charles, but the all-star Bystem, as such, would begin to look Ppretty silly. In fact, it might occur to some alert G-man to suspect that the agents of Ford Frick are no more all-stars than You and me and One-Eyed Connolly, In which case it would be but the work of a moment to arrest and fin- gerprint the whole mob for fraud, chicanery, misuse of the mails and hunting goats out of season. One thing can lead to another. If they're not all-stars, they may not even be Demqcrats, Or licensed @irivers. ‘The National League moguls were Faced with an embarrassing problem, snd they placed it squarely upon the rolling shoulders of that well-known fugitive from a Maj. Bowes chain Bang, that virtuoso of the harmonica and ace of banjo-plunkers, Mr. Charles vohn Grimm, In a Tough Spot. R. GRIMM was in there to take’ it on the chin. If, in snatching wictory after three long years, he ex- posed one of his athletes to heartburn or a bean ball or a strained arm, he would be threatened with lynching by Frank Frisch, Bill Terry, Chuck Dressen, or whoever happened to be the full-time proprietor of the chattel in question. If the victim happened to be one of his own boys, like Curt Davis, he would have to answer to the Cub front office, and when you answer o the front office, you don’t do any saoswering. You just listen. On the other hand, if Mr. Grimm fost the all-star game, his position would be too mournful even to con- template. He was expected to win it, ®and he was expected to win it against & squad of ball players which really ‘was considerably stronger than his own. Mr. Grimm was cheerful in the face | ©f this impasse. “I thin® we can win the game,” he | said, when last halted by your sentinel, 'And with average luck the pitchers will all be fresh and ready to work | when their next turn comes around on the regular schedule. Look back | at the other three all-star games. ‘There wasn't any case where a pitcher was hurt by his all-star workout.” ‘Well, this was not exactly a correct Btatement of the facts. What about the case of Carl Hubbell in 1934? By his work in the first three innings of the all-star game, Hub indicated that he might have gone on to shut out the American Leaguers. Yet ‘Terry yanked him. And later Terry said that even those scant three innings, under strain, had wrought a harmful effect on his ace southpaw. Mr. Grimm considered this. “Well,” he said, “I don’t think there’ll be anything like that this time. I'm not figgering on murder- ing anybody’s pitchers, but I'm gonna play to win. Don't forget, I've got some hitters, too. Maybe there's no Gehrig on my club, but what about Medwick and Ott and Subr and Jim Collins and Lombardi and Hartnett | end Herman? They can hit.” Planned Defensive Game. R. GRIMM made these remarks a couple of weeks ago. Now, on the day of battle, he and the presi-, dent and mouthpiece of the league, Mr. Ford Frick, were plotting a more or less defensive campaign. There is| no defense against a home run in the | stands, but the apiary of Boston's Bees is a roomy joint wherein the de- fensive club has space to swing its dogs and elbows. Mr. Grimm and Mr. Frick figured that the thing that would win for them was a judicious application of three smart pitchers, the fleetest outfielders on the roster, and an infield unit strong and cool snough to handle the wickedest smashes that come its way. At least, that’s what they said they figured. Between us, I think they were hoping that Berger or Medwick or Lombardi or some other exponent HEURICHS CHECK League game yesterday and won, 8 to 6. in four of the Capital's major sandlot leagues. tie between G.

Squire Joe McCarthy, the proxy manager of the American League squad, was most coy about naming @ starting line-up. However, he hinted that Bob Grove would start in the box, with Rick Ferrell catch- ing him, in which case Bill Dickey would come in later to handle the delivery of Harder, Gomez and Rowe, ot least two of whom seemed sure to work along with Grove. There really wasn't much guess- Wwork about the Squire’s line-up. The cholce between Gehrig and Foxx at first base depended on the National League's choice of starting pitcher. Both sluggers were to see service. The other starting infielders were Gehringer, Crosetti and Higgins, with Appling filling in later. The squire was expected to go to the post with Di Maggio, Averill and Goslin in his outfield and give subsequent employ- ment to Radcliff and Chapman. It was a powerful list, and figured to win on paper, but I had a hunch that Mr. Grimm could upset the form by tossing caution to the south- west wind and giving plenty of work to Hubbell and Dizzy Dean. Other- wise, the National Leaguers might have to swap “all-stars” for a new ‘Trenton, 18; Hazleton, 12. Binghamton, 5; Scranton, 2.
