CLEVELAND, July 8. The
worlds best ball players, strutting
their stuff before the largest crowd
in the history of the national pas
time-that was the picture today as
fans from all over the nation
poured into Cleveland for the third
renewal of the annual all-star
game.
A vast throng of more than 10000
spectators, interested not so much
in the outcome of the game as in
watching the major leagues top
players in action, seemed assured in
the huge municipal stadium down
on the lake front.
The great and ar-great of
baseball were here-including Pres
ident Ford Frick of the National
League, the managers and owners
of all the major league teams,
Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands,
Babe Ruth, Iris Speaker and many
other old timers whose names stand
out in the history of baseball.
The probable starting pitchers
were Mel Harder of the Cleveland
Indians for the American League
team, and Hal Schumacher of the
New York Giants for the Nationals.
1t was Harder whose phenome-
nal pitching enabled the American
League to win last years all-star
game in New York. He has won
II and lost four for the Indians
this year.
1t was Harder who pitched for
the Indians in the same stadium
when the largest previous baseball
crowd, 80.314 fans, witnessed the
first baseball game in the big bowl
in 1881.
Ready to relieve Harder should
he weaken were Vernon Gomez of

Nationals Have Edge
Three Of the National League
all-star pitchers worked in games
yesterday, including Carl Hubbell
Of the Giants, Dizzy Dean of the
st. Louis Cardinals and Paul Der
ringer of the Cincinnati Reds.
The Nationals seemed to have a
slight edge in hitting ability and
reserve strength. Most baseball ex-
perts believed they would avenge
the defeats administered by the
American League teams in the last
two years.
The Nationals starting outfield
of Mel OFT of the Giants, Wally
Berger of the Boston Braves and
Joe MedWick of the Cards had an
average batting percentage of some
thing like $3.50, as compared with
800 for the American starting
gardeners-Joe Vosmik of the In
dians, Al Simmons of the Chicago
White SoX and Bob Johnson of the
Philadelphia Athletics.
In the infield, also, the National
League team had a batting average
with Bill Terry of the Giants,
Frisch of the Cards, Arky Vaughan
of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Pep
per Martin of the Cards, whose
composite batting average was $40.
The American infield, Lou Gehrig
of the Yankees, Charles Gehringer
of the Tigers, Joe Cronin of the
Red SoX and Jimmy Foxx of the
Athletics, had an average of $40.
Behind the bat for the American
Leaguers was Mickey Cochrane.

To WIN OVER
VINCENT LOPEZ

Ernie Dusek, the Omaha Bohe-
mian, who took third place in the
international elimination tourna-
ment at Los Angeles. when he was
defeated last Wednesday night by
Vincent Lopez, the Mexican, is one
of the worlds ace performers on
the mat. When examined by the
commission doctor after his bout
with Lopez, he was found to have
three cracked ribs, sustained either
by falling out or being thrown
from the ring, besides a number
of torn tendons.
Barring accidents, Lopez is ia
vored to be crowned worlds cham
pion after he eliminates his final
opponent, Man Mountain" Dean,
the Georgia hill-billy. He has al
ready beaten Dean before and Is
the betting favorite to do it again.
After Lopez victory over Dusek
Nick Lutte, the valley favorite, be-
gan angling for match with the
Mexican. Lutte has very high
respect for Ernies proWess in the
ring and figured that barring the
accidental injuries, Dusek could
have taken Lopez measure. And
he was willing to stake his repu-
tation that he himself could do
just that.
So, Promoter Contos, knowing
just what Lutte could do, finally
inveigled the Mexican to take the
match, with the proviso insisted
upon by Lopez that he would be
afforded a rematch if he should
lose to Lutte Friday night.
The seni-final between the Hun
garian, Sander Szabo, and the
Italian American, Casey Columbo,
will also pack a Wallop for the fans.
Sander is well liked here, and so
is Columbo, although he appeared
locally only once. Both are OF a
scientific turn, youthful and pleas
ing performers. SZabo has already

Just climbing the ladder and has
much at stake in this bout. Judg-
ing by past performances this bout
should take the color away from
the main go, and promises real
scientific wrestling action for as
long as it will last. And it should
last long because neither of them
are cutters.
In the other two bouts on this
card, Leo Papiaon, popular Greek

Kimon Kudo, the japanese favor
