A haSty survey of the box scores
yesterday shows that Monte Strat-
ton breezed along in a good work

all-star performers did not fare
so we'll. Our own Yves Ferrel1 had
his ears pinned back by the Yam
KEGS, and whisper it not in Gath,
nor in North Carolina, but the
eliminating blow in the Yankee
barrage was dealt by none other
than Vernon Lefty Gobez. When

Merely Paying Guests
When Arch Ward, sports
editor of the Chicago Tribune
conceived the idea Of the battle
of the super stars, he decided
that for one day the public
would be the manager of the
clubs. More than 100000 ballots
poured into the offices Of the
Chicago Tribune. In other cities
fans manifested the same
interest.
This year the public Is merely
paying guest at the game, with
the teams picked by managers.
What started out as the public
property has been seized by the
leagues, which contributed moth
ing but the players in exchange
for the glory that accrued to
baseball. And so far as the Ma
tional League is concerned, it
was against the idea from the
start.

ROOSEVELT RACEWAY, West
bury, N. Y, July 5.-For the Sec
ond time 10000 early birds braved
a constant threat of rain to attend
the running of the 30o-mile Wander
bilt Cup race today.
A morning sun had dried out
the track and several of the 80
competitors who took few prac-
tice whirls over the three-and-a-
third mile pretzel declared it was
in great condition.
Tazio Nuvolari, Italy's daredevil
champion, who is known as the
Mailman of Modena, told Ralph
De Palma he thought an average
speed of IS miles an hour would
win the race.
Bernd RoSemeyer, the German
ace, who has done 161 miles an
hour on the straightaways here,
was still the favorite with the
crowd, but Rudolph Caracciola,
also a German; Nuvolari and Rex
Mays, the Californian, who is driv'
ing a foreign car, were not with
out their supporters.
Officials estimate $4,000 would
be on hand when the race got
under way.

He had been concerned, but
that was before he saw Vernon
Lefty" Gomez shut out the Griffs
yesterday before some $4,000 spec
tatorS at Griffith Stadium.
Gomez pitched one of his great
games yesterday. He struck out
seven Griffs and really had more
on the ball than he has had in the
past two seasons. The Griffs
made a few threatening gestures
along the line with their half
dozen hits, but third base was as
far as any of them advanced.
One Run in Is Innings
In his last start against the
Philadelphia Athletics, Gomez
allowed one hit and one run. That
was homer by Bob johnson. In
10 innings he has allowed one run,
seven hits and has struck out II
men.
"The National Leaguers will
have to go some to beat that
kind of pitching" said Presi-
dent Harridge this morning.

press confidence in the pitch

terday."
The Griffs were enthused over
Gomez pitching. Ball players are
strange creatures when you know
them and strip some of the hero
workshop from their brows. They
have as much admiration for a
man who pitches a swell game as
they have for the man who makes
a great stop or catch, regardless
of team affiliation.
Gomez never had more stuff"
Bucky Harris said before board

the race, but SometimeS-or often
it doesn't work out that way.
The clubs have hit what is vir-

that any one of four clubs can win
the National League pennant, and
the New York Yankees. currently

From here on out class will tell,
and on that basis the leading Chi

third place st. Louis Cardinals and
fourth place Pittsburgh Pirates all
can come through in the national.
Also, on that basis, the Yankees
ought to win the American League
pennant, but Chicago, Boston and
Detroit still are contenderS.
Working UP to today's twin-blll
festivities the Cardinals won a pair
yesterday, trimming the Cincinnati
Reds, to 0 and S to 2.
The aest the cubs could do was
to split a pair with the Pirates
The Cubs won the first 8 to 5 and

Fireworks are promised when
the National League meets be-
hind closed doors in its summer
conclave. 1t is whispered that
more than one of the senior loop
owners is somewhat annoyed
with the manner in which Presi.
dent Ford C. Frick conducted
the Dizzy Dean case.
For the first time in the
history of major league baseball,
a man close to the pulse OF
affairs in the National League
said, a ball player not only told
the chief executive of the league
where he headed in, but got
away with it in triumphant
manner.
Embarrassment
This victory of Dean, it Is
alleged, caused no little en-
barrassment to the constituent
members of the National League,
but possibly cost the senior
wheel no little loss in prestige.
''If Dean is bigger than the
chief executive Of the National
League, some of the club
owners would like TO be in
formed"
This was said this morning by
a close student of baseball.
Correctly or otherwise, the
story is circulated that Presi'
dent Prick was disposed to ignore
the statements alleged to have
been made by Dean in the
speech that caused all the
rumpuS.
It is said, however, that Com
missioner Lands demanded that
Dean be brought to book, and let
it be known that If the president
of the National League did not
institute an investigation OF the
Dean speech, then he, the Com
missioner of Baseball, would start
one, and more than that; would
see it through to a finish.
Under pressure, 1t Is alleged,

Garnet Gets Lesson
Mitchell and Garrett resumed
their twice-poStponed final of the
Times-Hearst event where they
left off a week ago yesterday, with
Yelverton serving and leading,
8-6, 2-3. The Virginia lad was
strong favorite to win. Dooly,
the pudgy Georgetown University
instructor Of accounting, thus
occupied his faVorite role of ,un-
derdog.
Before the match was COM
pleted, the 20-year-old Virginia
star, hailed by many experts as
coming Davis Cup player, had
absorbed a real tennis lesson from
his veteran opponent, who carried
out a well-planned attack through
which Garrett practically de.
feated himself.
Garnett'S service, normally a
strong factor in his victories, was
lar from what it had been in his
Semifinal match when he over
whelmed the clipper Frank
Buddy" GoeltZ, Of Wilkes Barre,
Pa, and double faults, at crucial
moments, did not aid Garnett's
cause against Mitchell.
rays Every Game
Dooly played a slow, soft ball
to the baSeline and to Garnett's
backhand, usually strong, through
out the play of Saturday. The
result was that the youngster,
under this pressure, weakened,
and either Melted or drove outside
81 times. Dooly scored SO points,
so it's plain to see that Garnett's
errors. the vast majority of them
committed when returning Nit
chell's slow, soft ball, were more
to blame for the Virginian's defeat
than any other factor.
Between his errors, the seven
double faults in the II games he
served and Mitchell's court STRAIT

nett was lost in a maize.
In sharp contrast, Mitchell won
on his service IL out of IL times, :.
while Garnett dropped four Of II
games on his service. Garrett had
four service aces to- his credit, and
Dolly had three. While Mitchell
had 18 placements to his credit,
Garrett had 81. Mitchell netted
10 of Garnett'S returns while Vel
verton netted 20 of Mitchell's.
The widest difference between
