St. Louis. Mo.-(UP)--Back in 1891 Walter Wilmot of the Chi cago Cubs made major league record by travelling to the plate six times without getting official credit for any times lat bat" The late Miller Huggins tied it on June l, 1910.
 It was not until "A years later, or on June IS, 1884, that anyone again tied the record. On that day, Billy Urbanski, short stop on the Boston Barves, drew four passes and hit two sacrifices in six times to the plate, yet his box score line read "AB O..
 The same game produced some- thing approximating another rec ord when Leo Durocher. the op- posing St Louis Cardinals short stop, had four trips to the plate four outs. four assists and four er- TOTS. He did manage to get one hit, but the Braves won, so.

A few years back the Yankees had five batters-Coombs, Koenig, Ruth, Gehrig and Lazzeri--who were dubbed murderers' row, on account of the mental effect they had on pitchers. These lads would appear about as fnenacing as teachers pets in a boys correction home compared to the list of kill CTS to take their stance before Lefty Grove and Carl Hubbell.
 A Little Job
 A rough idea may be had from the following figures: MT Gomez will have to get out, in order of their appearance, Frankie Frisch, whose batting average is .310: Pie Traynor, a light hitter, 1852, and Chuck Klien, one of the leading home run boys who bats bare .316. The second inning. if MT Co., meg is lucky, he will be required to bowl for Mel Ott, hitting .344, Wally Berger, a comparative weak ling who bats only .316, and dod- dering William Terry, whose ofii- cial figure is 1888. After that he can relax against Arky Vaughan, .360. end Gabby Hartnett, 1922, and Herr Hubbell, who hits only .217.
 Following that, Senor Gomez will be ready to quite if things have gone well, and even more ready to quit if things have not gone well.
 Without going into narrowing details, the task assigned to Herr Hubbell of the Giants, who toes off for the National Leaguers, Is even more complicated. He must get out if possible, Charlie Gehringer, 1882: Heinie Manush. .4O2: Babe Ruth the<poor fellow is down to .291, but when he hits them they stay hit, Lou Gehrig, .369: Frank Higgins. 1855: Al Simmons, .34S and Joe Cronin himself, the lightest batter in either starting list, excepting pitchers-.283.
 Close Enough
 The average of the starting line- up for the National Leaguers is .338, and for the American Leag- uers, 343. None of these fellows is notably deficient in being able to pick up rapidly rolling baseball, so the element of competition should be quite evident all after. noon.
 One thing that makes the offen- sive tactics Vf each team more irn- pA CooANS khoa khSkk &SAOA0AN - equipment. is the fact that a bali hit out of the park cannot be field- ed. It is interesting to note that several of the fellows listed on the starting teams have formed a habit of hitting them well out of the yard.
 Four Base CIouters
 On the National League side there is MT Ott, who has poked 21 into the balcony: brother Hartnett. whose total this year is 12: Wally Berger, who has on 16 occasions hit for the round trip, and Chuck Klein, who has done it IS times.
 It is even more serious with the Americans. There is Babe Ruth to begin with-and often to finish with: he has hit only 14 homers so far this season, but has whacked out 699 in his big laague career. Gehrig has hit 24, and Jimmy Foxx, who will likely get into the game, has busted 26 over the fence this year. Al Simmons has gotten himself 13 already, while the oth- CTS incline more toward two and three base hits.
