 Boston, July 2 - (UP) = Major Leagues baseball circus, lieadlining the foremost sllggers, fielding artists and pitching heroes of the big top. moved Into the Boston NatiOnpl League ball park today for its fourth display before American fandom.
 A crowd of 42OO0 damned the home of the Boston Bees to capacity to see the games most colorful stars, picked in 8 national poll of nearly 1,600, 900 fans, in mid-season action. The weather man forecast Q perfect setting for the battle of the all-starS flair and warm.
 After three straight setbacIs, the National League has at last decided to take the game seriously. Out to win this one, the National League will start It's greatest pitcher, Dizzy Dean, against the American League siege guns. The American League will rely on Lefty Grove, ancient but cunning southpaw, for the first three 1nnngs.
 Trio of Pitchers
 Under the rules Of the game, no pitcher can work more than tfiree innings. Charlie Grimm, Chicago Cubs manager, who heads the Ma tional League Board of Strategy consisting of everyone from tho president of the league down to the manager of the seventh place Phtl- lies, has picked Dean, Carl Hubbells hero of the 1884 game, and Curtis Davis to divide the pitching assisn- ment in that order.
 It will be Deans speed, HubbellB screw ball and Davis sinker against the big, Hnenacing bats of oehxigs leading American League hitter Dimaggio, first rookie ever to win . place on the all-Star team, Earl AverilI, the Snohomisl1, Wasll., slug ger, and Gosli1, the old gray goose of the Potomac, who delivered tho $l00,00O hit in the 1eS6 World Series.
 For three straight years the bar- rage laid down by the American League has routed the National Leagues best I1oundsmen. The national circuit has found one or two pitchers who could check the American League sluggers, but never three who could smother their at tack for 9 innings.
 Two years ago Hubbell, in one of. the greatest pitching displays iii baseball annals, famed Ruth, Geh- rig, Foxx, Simmons, and Cronti1 in succession, but the National League wound Up losing, 9-7. In the first game Ruth blasted Q homer with Q man on base which supplied the margin on victory for the American League, 4-2. Last year FoxxS homer with dehrig on base decided the issue,4sl.
 My orders are to win this game" said Grimm. T am going to start my best lineup and keep 1t in the game as long as we arc going good. My pitchers will Do Dizzy Dean, Hubbell and Davis in that order"
 Just . Game
 After three comparatively easy triumphS the American League this year is taking the game with ESQ what do we care attitude?" Joe Mc- Carhty, picked to manage the Afner- ican League All-Stars after illness caused the withdrawal of Mickey Cochrane, didn't arrive hero until late this morning. William Har- ridge, president of the American League, and his publicity man, Henry Edwards, knew nothing about McCarthy'S plans, or his lineup.
 Despite the fans enthusiasm about the game, 1t continues to be q "Frankensteii1" on the hands of the managers and magnates. They don't quite know what to do with 1t whether to rnu 1t like @ ball game or carnival.
 But regardless of how the bigwigs of baseball take the game, the fans want 1t. They want to sec the out- standing players in action against each other, they want to vote for their favorite players, and they want to see the game run as real con. test and not Q slip-shod affair.
 Some of the important players of the two leagues were around the lobby of the Copley-Plaza hotel last night, wondering whether they were going to play. The American League president couldn't reach the Aneri- can League manager by long dist al1ce phone in New York. But with Gehrig, Dimaggio, Averill, Goslin, etc., to hit for them, Mccarthy and Harridge perhaps don't need to worry one whit. One good wallop can blast all the plans of the Na- tional League.
 Right Flanders
 If Grove starts for the American League, as expected, Grimm plans to send nine right-handed hitters against him. Augie Galan, Cubs center fielder, and Ripper Collins, Cardinals first baseman, are switch ' hitters. The other seven National League players named to start are hight-handed batters.
 Who will pitch for the American League after Grove is merely guess work. The other five pitchers are Gometz, Pearson, Rowe, Harder and Vernon Kennedy, last-minutc se~ lection replacing Tommy Bridges. of the Tigers, reported i'll by Detroit's acting manager, Del Baker. Harder pitched 9 innings Sunday, eliminat- ing him. Gometz has been knocked out of the box on and off all season. Rowe, who has never pitched in the all-star game, may draw the middle 3-innings. For a finisher. Mccarthy may depend on Monte Peason, the Tanks ace, or Kennedy may be the man.
 But 1t isn't pitching the American League will rely on - it's those TINT. coated bats of 0ehrig, De maggie. Appling. Goslin, Ayeriil.
