NEW YORK. July 6.-Forced

today that the final track and

money to make further cuts un'

Times Sports Editor

TON, Mass,
July 6.-Forty : eight
thousand f r o t h i n g
baseball fans are today
poised on the threshold of
Fenway Park, willing wit
nesses to the fourth install
ment of the national pas
times midsummer stimu-
liant, the nter-league all
star game here tomorrow.
Nearly as many more are
running around the crescent
streets of dear old Boston try
ing to beg, buy or borrow a
ticket, and the spectacle forms
a fitting aftermath for any
Fourth-of July celebration.
Boston itself is divided in its
sentiments as to the outcome. Be.
ing possessed of a team in both
the American an d Ma ion a
Leagues, the Bean Eaters feel that
a victory for either league will re-
fleet definitely to the glory Of the
city itself.
Worm May Turn
However, the National League
adherentS, of which there are
still a surprising number locally
despite the low estate of the Bees,
are actually becoming frantic over
the lop-sided complexion this in
ter-loop fixture has taken; for, in
the three previous July classics,
the American League aces have
quite consistently come out vic
torious.
These National League die-hards,
therefore, considering that this
has been quite a year of upsets in
baseball, fighting, horse racing,
ETC., feel that the time has arrived
for the minions of President Ford
c. Prick to assert their superiority.
We shall see about this along
about midway of tomorrow after
noon.
The Braves, like the Washington
Griffmen in Outfielder Ben Chap
man, are represented in tomor'

fiol6nr Wol1v Pnroar
Red SOx Are Many
On the other hand, the Red Sox
have a strong entry in the Ameri-
can League, their number being
reflected in this game by such as
Joe Cronin, coach; Jimmy Foxx,
first baSeman; Lefty Grove,
pitcher, and Rick Terrell, catcher.
All but Terrell were voted into
office by the baseball fans Of
America who were permitted 16
voices out of the 81 players on
each side.
But despite the local feeling that
this may be a National League
year, the now famous experts,
many of them the very same chaps
who voted Joe Louis into office
right up to the time he stepped
into the ring with Max Schmeling
some three weeks ago, are inclined
to again give the Americ a n
LeaguerS the call.
They claim that the innate
power of the American League,
represented by the likes of Joe
DiMaggio, Bill Dickey, Earl Averill,
Lou Gehrig, Jimmy Foxx, Luke
Appling, Goose Goslin and Charlie
Gehringer will be more than the
combined pitching proves Of
Dizzy Dean, Carl Hubbel, Van
Lingle Mungo, Curt Davis and Lon
Warneke can stem.
