BY SID KATZNELL

Agriculture "Aggies" face a

The game starts at 5 o'clock.
"Lefty" Joe Stankus will prob
ably pitch for the "Aggies," while
Lefty" Kuhnert is scheduled to
work for the opposition.
With Leon Riley allowing five
scattered hits, the Bureau Of In
vestigation subdued the Union

So said Joe Cronin, youthful
manager Of the Griffmen, today
anent yesterdays all-star game at
New York which found the 27-year
old veteran" the manager of the
American League combination
Added Cronin:
II can't say too much for the
spirit of the boys, nor can
compliment Mel Harder too
much for the splendid pitching
he turned in at a moment when
we absolutely had to have some
body go i'm there and halt the
opposition.
TT was . great game ali
around and I only hope might
be fortunate enough to play in
another"
Speaking Of spirit, there has
hardly been anything quite like it
in the past as that which was ex-
hibited by the American League
stars yesterday.
Martin Notices 1t
Noticing this spirit besides Gro
min was Mike Martin, trainer of
the Griffmen, who acted as the
Doctor" for the American League
team.
Said Martin today:
even Babe Ruth yelled en-
cOuraging words to each man as
he stepped to plate. Besides
the men CrOnin did not put into
the game kept up a continual
chatter on the bench, cheering
a base hit when it appeared, or
a fine fielding play when it
turned up. All in all it seemed
as if everybOdy's chief thought
was to win the game or elSe."
The game gave the fans a great
show at that. The $4,000 or more
Sensed what was before them as
early as the practice sessions of
the two teams as they cheered
every player to the core as he was
announced to the crowd.
Hitting Team
Another thing seldom again will
a team of hitting stars ever be as
sembled as that which lined up
under Cronin's management yes
terday. It was breath-taking to
especially after it dawned
on them that from top to bottom
each American League performer
could hit and hit-a.plenty.
Probably the most interesting
sidelight on the game-and there
were many Sidelights - came
about in the fifth inning when
pitcher Van Mungo walked
Charley Gehringer to "get"
Charlie Ruffing. supposed weak
batter. Ruffing upset the
strategy by singing to left,
strengthening the fact that the
Leaguers were powerful
at bat even among the pitchers.

gravy, one can't forget F'risch
and Medwick, whose respective
home runs gave the game the
only garnishing Of round trip
hitting, without which any in
terleague game would almost be
q waShout. That pair did their
share in defense Of themselves
and their league, particularly
Medwick who picks out an op-
perfume time with two men on
bases to blast one Of Gomez
Slants.
A Miraculous Catch
And to round out the sauce
for the National League, Floyd
Vaughn contributed the fielding
episode Of the day when he
Nurmied over toward the foul
line to take Earl Averills dying
slam in the ninth-barely catch
ing it on the tips of his fingers
as nearly $4,000 sat tense and
terrified at Floyd's audacity.
Up to that moment, Joe Cro-
nin's movement to his left to
grab Bill Terry's drive in the
eighth had easily been the most
electrifying fielding gesture Of
the game, but it was the great
stab Of the Pirate shortStop in
the fading moments Of the game
that sent the crowd away con.
vinced that miracles do happen.
You've seen those freak field
ing bits that you'd swear
couldn't be accomplished with
out horseshoe magnets! Well it
was that type Of catch, the
type you'd have to see to be-
lieve. Meanwhile you've got to
take somebody else's word for
it.
The Old Base Hits
The stirring chapter in major
league baseball history went to
again establish the superiority
of American League batting, but
this factor was not apparent
until after Master Hubbeu was
removed from the mound. His
brief three innings on the dais
reminded one and all he is the
pitcher superlative. It was his
four successors, Warneke, Mum
go, Dean and Farmhouse, who
betrayed a task which Carl
had started and carried well.
It was a ball game that
will be remembered by spec
tators and radio listeners alike
for a long, long time: a deafen-
ing. Smashbang chapter of
baseball heaving and hitting
that was worthy of the day and
the purpose for which it was
staged.
The Washington times., 1934-07-11

In q measure, at least, Joe
has evened a personal score
with Will Terry, who outma-
neuvered him in the world
series of last October. Will was
at the helm Of the National
League group which yesterday
went down in defeat, and. no
doubt, disgust as we'll. Each
manager had 20 men to draw
from-20 of his circuits best
and Cronin's crew came from
behind to turn what looked for
three innings to be a rout into
. victory. Not an overwhelm-
ing victory, it is true, but a
two-run edge that was sufficient
to make the plucky washington
pilot cock O. the walk for the
moment.
And what a ball game that
was!
Game Had Everything
Two hours and SIS minutes Of
about everything that goes to
make the national pastime the
gripping drama that it is and
give it a hold on the imagina-
tion Of the public which no
other endeavor boasts. They
say $4,000 were turned away.
It is not an easy task to dis
tribute the individual honors.
To Carl Hubbell most certainly
goes a generous share Of those
incompatible three innings
through which he turned back
six batters at the plate with
a screw ball and a change Of
pace that kept the spectators
popeyed.
Five Of his Strike-out victims
went down in order, three EN-.
bracing the first inning after
two men were on and two com.
ing at the start of the second,
interSpersed only by a single be-
fore the third man of the in.
ming and sixth of the game sue
cumbed to his binding speed
and mysterious fadeaway.
Hubbell Turns EN- Back
Had not Hubbell, by the very
scheme Of things which dictated
that some of the other National
League hillSmen be given an op-
portunity to display their curves,
been morally forced from the
game after the third, those
American Leaguers might still
be up there swinging their bats
futilly and fitfully. Ruth, Gehrig,
Foxx, Simmons and Cronin all
bowed to Carl in order, as did
Lefty Gomez when his turn
finally came about.
And in praising Hubbell, Mel
Harder's five innings with but
one hit being garnered off him,
Is not to be overlooked. He
held that American League lead
like 1t was precious as radiun.

Juneau's gone "Zoric" and at the same time lost one good sport fisherman.
 For the time, Sim MacKinnon is the only qualified operator Of the new Zoric cleaning system, that the Alaska Laundry has re- gently installed, and the volume of suits, coats, dresses, hats, neck ties and multitudinous other arti- cles of apparel and cloth house. hold accessories, has kept Sim so much on the job that he just can't stay away long enough to get in his fishin', he says.
 However, Sam Daniels, now vaca- tioning in the States, is due. back soon, and will assume the Zoric duties. In the interim MacKinnon finds consolation and diversion in watching the shabby, tired and broken down hats, suits and dresses go into the gadget and come out with their. faces lifted ready to go places.

JOAN BLONDELL , HAS NEW TEAM
 MATE IN SHOW
Lawyer Man with Will
 lam Powell Opens To- T night at Coliseum

William Powell and Joan Blon- dell are teamed up in pictures for the first time in Lawyer Man" Ia Warner Bros. production which comes to the Coliseum Theatre tonight. Despite the fact of the great dissimiliarity in their char .acteristics and personality, they are said, to work together with unusual effectiveness, each proving an excellent foil for the others temperament.
 Powell is of the ultra-correct and .dignified type of player, while Joan is cracking and slangy, and inclined to be bit hoydenish. As feminine lead, she has just such a role in the picture, being typical East Side New York girl who has worked her way up to secretaryship of leading attorney, but who never forgets her early training.
 Powell's characterization is quite different from what he usually plays, he being an East Side law yer, whose brilliance brings him to the forefront of his profession. They have an excellent supporting cast which includes Helen Vinson. Alan Dinehart, Allen Jenkins, David Landau. Claire Todd and Sheila Terry.
 The picture is revelation of metropolitan intrigues with a TO- nance in the background It is based on the novel by Max Trell and was adapted for the screen by Rian James and James Seymour. It was directed by William Dieterle.

A LETTER TO MY FRIENDS

Not in the hour of sorrow nor with the bangs of anguish con- trolling my sense, I truly offer thanks to you who have contribut- ed thought of kindness in re- membrance of one who has untir- ingly and unselfishly given her | life to others.
 You have paid homage to a character and personality endowed with simple philosophy taught only by example.
 She fulfilled her mission in this great scheme of things by radiat- ing that something, understood only by those whose minds are receptive to constructive things of. fife
 She was one of the sweetest products of Gods own hand anc it was my privilege to share hel companionship to the end.
 She loved the flowers-she loved all Nature-she hunted the birds without a gun, and they seemed te sense her language and understand her kindness of heart.
 | Now she has passed beyond. She lives Sonly in memory and my last tribute to this dear girl who made me what I am, she done her best she lived her life in it's fullness she was happy and glad to live but not afraid to die.
 Once again accept my thanks. adv. GEO. L. BARTON.
