NEW YORK, July l1.-Echoes of
basebaIl's siege guns resounded to-
day in the ears of $4,000 frenzied
patrons and a select but saddened
group Of pitchers as the tumult Of
the second annual Au-Star contest
was being pieced together.
The American LeaguerS won-9 TO
IF that means anything. It
meant very little 70 the massed
banks Of uproarous customers who
paid $50 900 into the chest Of the
baseball players fund, less expenses.
Il was not the score, but the way
DO was rolled up-the dramatic, stir
ring cross section Of the game in
every phase-that made a Shrek
ing bedlam out of the Polo Grounds,
such as few world series have seen.
Master minding had virtually
nothing to Go with il. II was an
epic Of throwing arms and swing
ing bats-and nothing else. Across
the scroll Of baseball history was
written the glittering name Of Carl
HIbben. left-hander OF the Giants,
who psralyzed the mightiest war
clubs the modern game has known,
for three almost perfect innings.
HubbeIl Bears Down
And carved in homeric figures
below was the record of those
numbering bats that blasted the air
with a decorating roar Of base hits
when the left-handed witchery of
the great Hubbell was withdrawn.
The first man TO face Hubbell,
Charlie Gehringer. singled. The
next man. Heine Manush, walked
1t was a bad beginning. but Hubbell
was equal. He bore down on Ruth,
Gehrig and Fox, striking them out
i'm order-three of the mightiest
lOng-range hitters in baseball.
He very nearly duplicated it the
next inning, striking out Al Simmons
and Joe Cronin. Dickey hit safely,
and he famed Lefty Gomez. Four
men faced him in the third. Ruth
got life on a walk; the rest went out.
Frisch, Medwick Homer
Meanwhile Frankie Frisch had
homered on the second pitched ball
of the delivery Of Lefty Gomez,
and Joe Medwick of the Cards had
blasted a second homer into the up
per tier of the left field stands in
the third with Frisch and Traynor
aboard.
The fOur-run National lead looked
safe, but, with Hubben gone, the
trouble began. Lon Warneke, fade
ball specialist of the Chicago Cubs,
who replaced him, awakened artil-
lery.
Simmons doubled, Cronin singled,
Earl Averil of Cleveland, batting
for Gomez, blasted a triple to deep
center and Cronin legged home with
the second run.
The artillery of the American
League got into action again in the
fifth.
FOXX Scores Ruth
Ruth and Gehrig walked. War
neke resigned and Van Lingle
Mungo OF the Dodgers came in to
pitch. Fox opened with a scream
ing single to center, scoring Ruth.
Simmons hooked one TO short that
brought Gehrig home, Jackson max
ing a spectacular stop. Mungo
passed Dickey. Earl Averil blazed
a long hit into deep right, scoring
FOxX and Simmons. Gehrig was
passed for Ruling, who whacked a
bllStering drive along the left field
foul line. scoring Averill. 1t ended
there, with SIX more runs having
been scored.
The Nationals never recovered,
but the Americans added a final
run in the sixth. Dizzy Dean and
Mel Harder pitched out the game
with no further casualties, Fred
Farmhouse taking up for Dean in
the last inning.
Great Pitchers Fall
II may have been a game Of
master minds, but to $4,000 roaring
sddicts 1t was more than a test Of
playing skill between leagues. What
will stand out is the great Hubbell-
that amazing pitching feat for three
innings against the most destructive
bats in baseball.
And then the decorating crash
with which those big guns broke
loose. battering down Lon Warneke
and Van Lingle Mungo, two pitchers
who rank with any in the game
completely destroying a defense that
boosted as fine a collection of field
ing talent as has ever been gathered.
