Those who advocated and caused

IS VERDICT Of TEST.
Loses to Tigers, but Arm

T WAS a glorious Fourth for lot
of base ball folks, particularly
those sporting uniforms of the
4 New York Yankees and Chicago
Cubs, but you'd have to look a long
way today to find happier lad than
Master Robert Feller.
Master Robert was a kid with his
first firecracker, all because that mys-
terious salary wing of his apparently
has stopped acting up. and he now is
ready to take regular pitching turn
for the Cleveland Indians.
For Robert-and the rest of the In
dians-that bit of cheering news
meant more than anything else yes
terday's program produced. However,
for the game in general, the Yanks
and Cubs were the big stuff.
If tradition holds good-and that if
is as big as Ducky Medwick's batting
average-the Yanks and Cubs will be
fighting it out in next Falls world
series, since they were leading the
pennant parades for the July dead
line. Now all they have to do Is stay
in the drivers seat until October 3.

the Weinsteins' fingers may be.
Now they have been asked to
keep their views to themselves.
The reason advanced was that
base balls l6 big league man
ayers are better qualified to
Pick the cream Of the crop.
So what? Maybe they are better
qualified But the all-star game
cannot truthfully be called the fans
dream game" any longer In short
base ball now is confronted with the
task Of giving one sound reason why
the game should be played at all.

Caracciola Has Great Record.

CARACCIOLA has won just about
~ every important European race,
including the Eifel classic and the
Grand Prix events of Switzerland,
France. Belgium, Spain and Tripoli.
The two Germans both fear Nuvo-
lari in today's race above the 27 other
competitors. The mad man from
Modena's" knowledge of the curves
and utter recklessness make up for
his Alta Romeo's inability to keep
up with Rosemeyer,s Auto Union and
Caracciola's Mercedes on the straight
aways.
The weather man promised fair
weather for today's race The dis
appointed Saturday crowd was es-
timated at 10000, and track officials
hoped it would be surpassed today.

Powell Again Bottle Target.

THE Griffs simply were outclaSsed
yesterday. before the largest Sun
day crowd of the season. Wes Ferrell,
after only three days of rest, was not
able to give Gomez any kind Of battle
and after he was slammed for a 60
lead in the third inning was merci-
fully removed by Harris for Pete
Appleton.
With Gomez flashing his form Of
yesterday, matching the Griffs against
him was like pitting selling platter
against a stake horse. Lefty simply
moved down the Mats, retiring eight
by strikeouts and allowing only II
balls to be driven past the infield.
OF these five were hits-two flunky-
and the rest were easy outs.
The crowd of $4,000 apparently ex-
pected to witness a renewal of the
Jake Powell VS.. the Washington
Club feud, but outside of a spasmodic
throwing Of pop bottles and a contin-
uous roar of booes for the local boy
"who made bad," there was no violent
demonstration. Powell, you know, ran
into Joe Kuhel the day before and by
knocking down the first base man and
throwing the ball out of his hands,
reached second base. From there he
scored with the winning run.
Di Maggie Hits No. lS.
A S SOON as Powell took his position
in the field yesterday he was
greeted with -throated boo from
the bleachers and half-hearted bar
rage OF pop bottles. Time was called
in the first, second and seventh in

from the box as the Yanks mustered
four more runs. This brought Apple
ton to the scene and Pietro gave up
one run and two hits In five innings
Jacobs then was called upon to pitch
the final inning.

ITO TELLER this July goes down

Most publicized youngster of the year,

to date. They did everything but

and he's been back on the shelf ever
since.
They trotted him out as a starter
yesterday for the first time since the
third day Of the season. Although he
lost q 80 decision to the Tigers, his
arm stood the test like Glenn Cum
ningham's mile record. In four in
nings he famed four batsmen and
generally had things in hand. In the
fourth he made wild peg to third
that set the stage for the only hit
off him, Pete Fox's single, which pro-
duced two of the three Tiger tallies.
Despite the victory, the Tigers drop
ped to fourth place in the American
League, since the surging Boston Red
Sox socked the Philadelphia Ath-
letics twice, 7-6 and AZ, to jump into
third.

n yEW YORK, July 5.-Base Balls
nj Midsummer extravaganza, the
" game between all-star teams
of the National and Amer
lcan Leagues, will be played Wednes-
day at Washington with interest
over the team selections and the
outcome at a higher pitch than
at any time since the game was in
augurated at Chicago in 1888.
President Roosevelt, attending an
all-star game for the first time, will
throw out the first ball to start the
struggle at 100 pm.
While the size of the Washington
Park precludes any forecast of a
record crowd, the game is heralded
by Secretary Ed Eynon of the Ma
tlonals as sellout. This means that
3O,3s2 fans will pay s26,977 to see the
contest. The gate, less the operating
expenses, will be turned over to a

~ HILADELPH1A, July 5.-New-
u ton (Bucky) Jacobs, the skinny
bush whacker" of Uncle Clark
4 Griffith, is due for the surprise
Of his full, young life before this
week is ended.
Jacobs is the kid pitcher who was
signed and imported directly from
the campus Of the University of
Richmond. AS National he now
has pitched two innings of major
league base ball and Manager Bucky
Harris today announced that when
the Washingtons visit New York at
the end of this week for a three-game
series he will start Jacobs.
Jacobs doesn't know it yet, accord
ing to Harris, but the next time that
Lefty Gomez faces the Griffs, the
kid, In the twin interests Of saving a
better pitcher and giving Jacobs
some experience, will oppose the great
Yankee southpaw. Before the Mats
entrained for Philly to play a double
header with the Athletics today ia
cobs walked to the firing line yester-
day and worked one scoreless inning.
At the time, Washington was hope
lessly beaten, 7 to 0, but Harris liked
the way Jacobs flung at the Yanks'
"murderers row" Between this pleas
ant impression and the manner in
which Gomez subdued his club Bucky
decided to let Bucky (Jacobs) become
a sacriflcial lamb the next time Co.

ably snubbed by the other managers,
who. instead, voted Second Baseman
Buddy Myer and Pitcher Wes Ferrell
on the team.
The selection of Myer and Yves are
not begrudged, of course, but the fact
remains that Myer, especially, is not
playing the kind of ball he used to
play. Right now the hottest second
baseman in the American League Is
Jackie Hayes of the White Sox. Even
Mr.. Griffith got around to admitting
that yesterday, in front of Mr. Har-
ridge. And this, indeed, is praise
from Caesar.
Once upon time Griff owned
Hayes and he let him get away
for bag of peanuts, or some
thing.
1t might be mentioned that Mr.
Harridge is something more thar

He thinks the game ought to be given
back to the fans. Inasmuch as Mr.

~ @HILADELPHIA, Pa, July S.
- Manager Joe McCarthy's Sc
lection of Outfelder Sammy
a West of the Browns to replace
the injured Gerald Walker on the
American League all-star team to-
day not only produced fresh contro-
versial fuel, but, among other items,
upped the list of second division
ball players" on his squad to nine in
number
While members of the Washington
ball club, particularly, waxed indig-
nant that Johnny Stone again was
snubbed by Mccarthy, it was noted
that for the second consecutive year
the American Leagues probable start
ing lineup in the classic on Wednes-
day at Griffith Stadium is likely to be
far more representative than Bill Ter
rvs National League outfit.
Neither of the all-star game man
ayers officially has announced his
starting lineup, but Terry's ostensibly
was easy to figure. The cherries
leader of the Giants, as a matter Of
fact, virtually has tipped his hand
and, as far as the so-called experts
can see, Terry will ape Charley
Grimms tactics of 1886 and rely
chiefly on players from the ranking
teams Of the National League.

Playground Service
 To Relieve Mothers

A type of health service which would be most desirable during the summer months was discussed by the Wrangell Health Council at it's meeting Wednesday night.
 It was agreed that a playground for the care of children whose mothers are working at the can neries would be most appreciated by the community.
 The playground will be conduct ed at such hours as to include one substantial meal for the children and will be in charge of Miss Ar meme J. Stinger, Territorial public health nurse.
 Miss Stinger says she hopes to use this opportunity for the teaching of good health habits to the children as we'll as actually help them to build good health ythe proper kind of food served at the meal.
 Details for this project will be worked out in the near future.
