De Shong Wins No. 8.

the way, His mates grabbed a 20
lead against George Caster in the
second inning and, after the AS had
cut it down to 81 in the fourth, Wash
ington staged three-run rally in the
sixth. A run in the seventh and an
other in the eighth was the best the
Macks could do by way Of rebuttal.
Joe Kuhel came out of the first
fray with bruised thumb and was
justly thankful of the rest which the
all-star game provides. He caught
a line drive hit by Moses in the fifth
inning, but the ball had dipped at
the end Of its flight. and toward the
end Of the game Kuhel hardly was
able to grip a bat. Ossie Bluege
played the second game in his place.
The AS also are willing to lay of

The Mats got both of their runs

held the Griffmen to five scattered
hits after Stone. Travis and Sington
had hit safely in the opening round.

to Stone.
Linke gave up four of the AS hits
in the first four innings. In the fourth
Dean and Peters doubled for the
Macks' first run.
After that Linke breezed through
four hitless innings and should have
won the game in regulation innings
except for some atrocious fielding by
Fred Sington. With one down in the
ninth Dean hit a line drive directly
at Sington in right field. Fred failed
to break on the ball, but, even so, he
should have caught it easily. 1t

Kept Stars on Bench,

REFORE the game I called our
players together and said I was
going to run the game Just like any
day in the pennant season: that if the
starting lineup took a lead and held
it. would make no changes, except
pitchers.
And kept my word, even though
it meant holding such stars as Jimmy
Foxx, Tony Lazzeri. Bill Dickey, Yves
Ferreu and Oral Hildebrand on the
bench.
You can't imagine what a respon-
sibility manager feels in an all-star
game. After all. his lineup is sup
posed to represent the best in his
league
Unlike the regular season-or even
world series game-he isn't sup
posed to have a weakness anywhere.
His strategy will be discussed by fanA
players and brother managers.
New Plan Fair to Managers
A ND if. for instance, Mccarthy and
Terry are going to be open to
criticism, why shouldn't they have
the say about the line-ups, so that
they can give the fans the best pos
sible combination?
Terry. for instance. has announced
he'll play man out of position
Arky Vaughan, Pirates shortstop, be.
ing named to cover third.
This probably wouldn't have hap
pened in a fan poll. but you can be
sure Bill feels he's right or he wouldn't
have risked it.
In at least three games thus far
fans. working under the handicap Of
making their choices early, named
men who shouldn't have been in
there.
TomorroW's squads, I believe, come
pretty close to perfection, which will
be reflected in a closely fought game.
AS wrote before, the National League
has great pitching
But just as in 1888. when the team
I directed won for the American
League. I feel our team will do it
again tomorrow.

Brescia today ruled 6-5 favorite
