Equipped with a minimum Of
Scintillating material to recommend
for baseballs All-Star game at New
York on July IL, Manager Bucky
Harris of the Mats has named Gen.

BaSeman Buddy Lewis as his can
didates for the American League
club.
Although neither or both may be
selected to participate in the an
nual engagement, the seventh-p place
Mats must have at least one rep

Case both loom as likely to be chosen
, in the eight American League man.
agers's consensus, but Case appears
to have faint chance of wedging
his way into the starting lineup
For managing the American
League team will be Connie Mack,
Philadelphia pilot, upon whom Case
has left an indelible impression
this season in the five games the
Mats have played the Athletics.
Case sWatted $3.50 in those en-
gagements and otherwise conducted
himself in .All-Star fashion. He
gave Mr.. Mack a convincing DEM
onstration of why he is leading the
league in stolen bases, for he COL
lected five in as many games against
Comics catchers.
And while George doubtless will
be shifted to right field in order
to allow the Yankees Joe Di Mag
gio to roam center, he neverthe-
less appears a likely starter, for
if Mr.. Mack is scanning the papers
these days he will have noticed
where George is leading the league
in runs and hits as we'll as stolen
bases. He also is hitting a graft
flying 1886.
Case Threat With Drag Bunts.
George may or may not be bat
ting over his head at those fig
ures, but regardless Manager Har-
ris feels his streamlined lead-off
man is going to present more of a
problem to the leagues infielders
now that he seems to have mas
tered the intricacies of drag bunt-
ing.
He pulled it to perfection yester-
day as the Mats dropped a 80 de-
cision to Boston at Griffith Stadium.
1t drew Pitcher Lefty Grove, Second
Baseman Tommy Carey and First
Baseman Jimmy Foxx toward the
ball and Case beat it out easily.
Case now has swatted safely in
eight straight games and over that
stretch has collected 18 hits for a
.486 average.
Lewis, who started the 1888 ALL
Star game at third base, is whack-
ing comfortable .341, but his
erratic fielding probably will insure
the job being handed to the Yankees
Red Rolfe.
Harris has confirmed The Stars

Lewis was said to be ticketed for the

'Bashful' is her description of the

explains it:
1T took him all his life to talk

Hello When he got a new automo-
bile six years ago, he broke down
and asked me how I liked it. told
him it was nice and that I'd like
to be able to drive. He taught me
That's how We began to know each

Everything is $3.50 in this fam

baby and has a heart as big as can
be. He wants Junior to be a doctor
and leave fighting alone"
Junior Has Good Left.
At that point Junior, seated in his
mothers lap, shot over a left to
MONS chin. Looks like he's going
to have good left hand, too," she
sighed.
But despite Big Tony's left, sup

then?
Tiff he loses-why he'll make a
comeback. He won't lose any friends
here. They like him because of him
self, and I like him because he's a
grand husband.
But he's not the set-up other
opponets of Mr.. Louis have been.
They were knocked out before they
left their corners. Tony's ready, and
Mr.. Louis knows it,"

BY the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, Md, June 81
Scudding before a 15-knot wind, IA
sailing yachts neared the end today
OF their 465-mile bluewater race
from New London to Annapolis.
First to round the Chesapeake
light ship off the Virginia Capes,
and first reported since the racing
shippers sailed into the blue satur-
day afternoon, was D. Spencer
Berger's yawl, Mandoo II. She was
sighted at 6:08 last night as she
sailed into the bay.
Eleven minutes later, Escapade.
H. G. Fownes, yawl, was seen in the
dusk. The third ship, Vamarie, the
entry of the United States Naval
Academy and scratch boat of the
race, was reported at 7.39.
All three are in the class A COM
petition for larger yachts. After
midnight today the following were
reported: Stormy Weather, 1925
am; Estrella, 1:31 am; Souvenir,
3:15 pm, and Java Head, 4:40 am.
The first three rounded the light
ship in the exact order OF their
start.
Commodore Peter H. Magruder of
the Annapolis Yacht Club said the
probability of light airs in the bay
would prevent the yachts from

Hull Awaits Details
OF Naval Battle
With Graf Spec
Anxious Whether
Neutrality Zone
Pact Was Violated

Secretary of State Hull, asked for
comment on the British German
naval battle off the Uruguayan coast
yesterday, said that any violation
of the American neutrality zone
naturally would be Of concern to
the American nations.
He said, however, that he had not
yet ascertained all of the details
concerning the naval engagement.
The department had heard nothing
to confirm reports that the German
pocket battleship Graf Spec had
sunk two merchant vessels immedi-
ately before it was crippled in the
battle with three British cruisers.
Awaits Additional Details.
Mr.. Hull said any further develop
ments under the so-called declara-
ton of Panama which set out
neutrality zone around the Amer
ican nations which they considered
should be free of any belligerent
actions by any other of the nations
involved in the European war, would
be determined later as fuller infor-
matlOn came TO light.
The declaration of Panama pro-
vides that any other of the Amer
ican republics may call upon the
other nations of this hemisphere for
consultation whenever Pan-Amer-
lean security might be considered
threatened
The Secretary pointed out that
there never was any contemplation
that the so-called safety zone" dec
laration would be enforced by the
use of force.
The declaration provided for Joint
representations by the American
governments to secure agreements
from the belligerent governments to
comply with the principles of the
neutrality zone. Mr. Hull said that
so far as he knew there had been
no replies to notices sent the bel
ligerent nations Of the Panama
declaration.
First reports from South Amer
lea brought the reaction here
that a pitched battle between war
ships within the zone might not
raise any issues with the American
republics unless some interests Of
the republics were involved.
Such interests, however might be
involved if the naval battle inter-
fered with Western Hemisphere
shipping lanes.
Observers were of the opinion that
the Graf Specs sinking Of the two
merchant ships, which were prob
ably carrying Latin American car
goes to Britain, definitely involved
Western Hemisphere interests If the
sinking occurred inside the neu-
trality zone.

Misunderstood,
Says Duchess

When she arrived in Hoboken last
Friday from Europe, Duchess Eleanor
of Bavaria was interviewed and
quoted as making statements con-
corning Germany and Belgium which
subsequently she has denied Part
of the statement attributed to her
appeared in The Star in an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch from Hoboken
The Duchess has written the fol-
lowing letter to the Associated Press.
which The Star is glad to publish
here:
I am told that certain shocking
statements which were attributed to
me upon my arrival in New York
last Friday on the Veendam have
been cabled to Europe; this in spite
of the denials which had already
been made by my friends on my
behalf.
1t is possible that my imperfect
pronunciation and knowledge of
English might explain the extraord-
mary misunderstanding. Whatever
the cause, I would greatly appre-
ciate your stating with emphasis
that I never even had in mind the
statements attributed to me and
never intended expressing any
opinion of political character.
1t is fact that throughout my
life I have maintained the strictest
reserve on all political questions,
which may easily be determined by
you through an examination of your
files.
Thanking you for the courtesy Of
publishing this letter, am,
Very truly yours,
