THE goats and the stars were all
mixed up today as base ballers
and fans alike second guessed
Il the all-star game, but the name
that drew least attention and rated it
most was that of Charley Gehringer.
Lou Gehrig deserves a lot of cheers
for the homer he blasted out of the
park in leading the American Leaguers
to an 83 trimming OF their National
League rivals yesterday. and there
have been several more honorable
mentions among the all-stars past
and present, but for consistent cloutirg
and fielding, the Tiger second sacker
stands out like a home run with the
bases loaded in pitchers battle.
The all-star struggle passed from the
hobby stage to the traditional yester-
day with its fifth renewal. And
Gehringer is one of three players who
have been in every one. Not only that,
but the Detroit dynamiter, generally
rated as the top second-sacker in the
business, tops everything in sight with
war club in his hands.

"Greatest of AlI'-Harris,

A YEAR ago he collected two hits in
three trips to the plate for a de-
feated American League team. In 1885
he again went three -for-tWo." as the
boys say, and in 1884 he had an identi-
cal batting record. Only in the inaugu-
raj, back in 1888 at Chicago, was
Gehringer held hitless.
With his big day at Griffith Stadium
In the record books, Gehringer now
stands far at the top of both American
and National League stars with .563
average. His fielding is taken for
granted. If not, to keep the record
straight, he never has made an ALL
Star error. For "one-legged"
ball player-and Gehringer honestly
thought that Buddy Myer would he
able to do q better job yesterday-he
was something more helpful than an
anchor on Joe McCarthy's forces.
Bucky Harris of the Nationals was
one who saw fit to remember Charley
as the triumphant Americans raced
of the field I've been managing
big league ball clubs for l3 years now"
declared Harris, land I have yet to
see the equal of Gehringer as an all
around ball player"
Most Decisive Defeat in Series.
HE National Leaguers obviously
- were outclassed by the Americans,
who today hold four victories as
against a single All-Star defeat. The
long-range guns of the McCarthymen
barked no more often than the Ma
tional Leagues but the Americans
shelled the fences for extra bases and
scored hits when hits meant runs
The famed National League pitching
trio of Dean, Hubbell and Mungo did
not compare yesterday with the hurl-
Ing Of Lefty Gomez, Tommy Bridges
and Mel Harder.
1t was the great Hubbell, thin,
drawn and probably overWorked
Hubbell, who went down in the books
as the 1887 goat" Even after
Gehrig had driven over the right-field |
fence against Dean in the third inning, |
giving Gomez 2-to-0 lead, the |
National Leaguers still were in the
game.
They came back against Bridges in |
the fourth to cut the score to 81
but when Hubbell was dispatched to
the box the game became a rout.
King Carl failed to last an inning and
when he was removed in the fourth
round the Americans we're out in
front, to !. Never thereafter did
the senior leaguers seriously threaten
to win. 1t was the most decisive and
humiliating defeat of the flve-year
series.
Griff Praises Mccarthy.
CLARK GRIFFITH, whose joy was
unconfined, today pronounced the
American League team as "the great
est ever to be gathered"
I'VE simply had too much power"
added Griffith, "and everything
worked as planned. I thought that
Joe Mccarthy did a fine job of
handling the club. He started his
best all-around team and kept it in
the game.

Senate confirmation of President
RoSevelt'S appointments to the

CD of Alabama protested the Sc
lection of two members.
Black, Who conducted the ship
subsidy investigation in 1888, will
go before the Senate Commerce
Committee next week to ask for
further consideration of the ap-
pointment of Rear Admiral Henry
A. Wiley, and Admiral Emory S.
Land, both retired.
The entire list of five commits
sioners was approved by the COM
mittee Wednesday. The list in
cludeS as chairman, Joseph P. Ken
nedy, of New York, former head
of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Senator Copeland CD of New
York, chairman of the committee,
said he will withheld a favorable
report to the Senate on the ap-
pointments in view of Blacks op-
position to the two admirals.
Black declined to state now his
reasons for the objections. 1t
was reliably reported by a COM
mittee member, however, that he
objects to Wiley because he is dis
satisfied with his efforts to medi-
ate the shipbuilders strike at
Camden, N. j. The objection to
Land, it was said, was raised be-
cause "he Is sympathetic to the

night for a soldier of fortune al

men who stole S2,000.000 in gold
from the worlds richest gold mine
the famous Homestake at Lead,
S. D.
AS the search went forward for
the adventurer, Parks Du Pont,
Sheriff Ed Minard said:
Those men just packed the

Du Pont was reported to the
Treasury as fleeing westward fol.

in gold to the Denver mint under
an assumed name.
Sheriff Minard said no under

ployed in the thefts that continued
over period of years.
Five Are Arrested
Arrested in the amazing rob
berry are Richard Aimone, who
pleaded guilty to grand larceny
charges, and Robert E. Lee and
Arthur Flavin, who pleaded not
guilty. Under arrest in Denver is

held in Billings, Mont, is Harry

Some Of the gold was taken in
the form of nuggets but most of
it was in amalgam form.
An old miner in the Homestake
first reported to company officials
that he had seen a human hand
coming up from underground,
graSping the amalgam plates. His
tale was disbelieved, but later a

leading to an underground passage
through which high graders
