WhbIlllBVOhl, JuiJ -N0SV @sssNsfFfi balls dream game" was just a, nightmare to the National league today. ]
 As the star-dust settled on the fifth major league all-star game, the National league had Q big headr ache and the American league had 8 big laugh. Even Bill Terry couldn't think of any alibi this time. .,.
 The American leaguers have beaten Dizzy Dean, routed King, Carl Hubbeli, won out of 5 An- 2 star games and are riding higher than ever in their ascendancy with the world championship New York Yankees leading the way.
 The booming siege guns of Inc Tanks riddled the National leagues vaunted pitching masters with a. deadly barrage of base hits to score an to 3 triumph yesterday b. Griffith stadium before 3i,Sol per: sons, including President Roosevelt and other distinguished statesmen f, and dignitaries.
 Dean and Hubbell. the National leagues two aces, were trumped by the murderous bats of the Americap. z, leaguers. In previous all-star games the American league hitters have , been at the mercy of Dean, the fast ball king, and Hubbell. the screw ball master. Tn 16 innings they had made only one run of them. "
 But the sand in the hour.glaGS ran out on Dean and Hubbell, and the laundering bats of the Aneri, can leaguers caught up with them In the immortal words of Vernon (El Goofy) Gomez, eccentric Yankee portsider who emerged from tbt game with all the pitching laurels:
 T guess we've convinced the in. vincibles that the American league is pretty good after all" a.
 The way the American leaguere. took care of Dean and Hubbell may cause a baseball axiom to be re. written. Good pitching will stop good hitting" may be changed to Good hitting will murder good pitching" ..
 During the hot, sultry day, th' American league shelled six Ma tional league pitchers for i3 hit. including a homer. 6 triple arfd three doubles. Only Cy Bianton Pittsburghs ace, held the Americai, league artillery in complete cheek and he pitched to only one hitter flaming Joe DiMaggio. '
 All the rest, Dean, Hubbell Mungo, orisSom and Walters heard the tune of American league base. hits whistling past their ears. Tlit National league also made i3 hitt of Gomez. Bridges and Harder but they squandered them like drunken sailor.
 Out of the ding -dong. 2 hour and 90 minute battle among more than $5.00o,000 worth of baseball ivort emerged these stars among stars:
 Lou Gehrig-who batted . gapine hole in the National leagues de. fenSe with 6 homer of Dean crashed Q double of Mungo and drove in runs, Q new record for one player in the all.star game. ''v
 0ofnez-who silenced the Nc. tional leagues greatest hitters with one single, pitching three inning without allowing c run and receiv. ing credit for the victory.
 Bill Dickey--who caught 6 mag. nificent game. hit . single and dou. ble. driving in two runs, took . bad throw from DiMaggio and nailed 2 runner at the plate to break up z dangerous National league rally.
 Joe Medwick--who drove out four consecutive hitS--two doubles and two singles, establishing . new rec ord for oneplayer in the all.steT game. slt
 On the other side of the pIcturt we find two choice "goats":
 Dizzy Dean--No. 1 goat who fin. ally admitted he made . fatal nniss take. He had the American ieaguers stopped for 2 ga innings. One moro out and he'd have left the gamr with c record of having blanked them for the second straight yeai over Q 3-inning route. But he chaI. lenged the Judgment of one of the greatest catchers Of oil time, 0abby Hartnett.
 Hartnctt called for a curve bali when DiMaggio came to bat in the third inning with the score GO Dean knocked him of. He wanted to blaze away with his fast one. He did and booml DiMaggio rified out . single. ....
 Up came oehrig and Hartnett again gave the No. 2 sign for Q curve ball. Dizzy shook him of. With tho count 3-2, Dean tried to sneak his faS tone past and 0ehrig belted t way over the right field fence, 32e feet away. Dizzy turned his back 4n disgust and pounded his fist in his glove. He knew he had blundered After the game he said: ..1
 "Yeh, l should've took Qabby'S' advice. I thought I could get those fast ones past 'em but they fooled me"
 Bill Terry-goat No. 2. He hand. r'cked the squad, stunning advice,
 om other National league mans agers, and lost. One of his biggest mistakes was playing Mize at first. Two hits whistled past Mize that. Rip Collins, the classiest fielding. first baseman in the National leagues would have cut of. Terry, likC Dean, asked for 1t and he got 1t. -o-

 Drove in of 6 runs.
