OF ST.LOUIS
DIAMOND TILT
Yankee Stars Prove Ages
Telling as "Murderers
Row" Is All But
BY HARRY FERGUSON
UNITED Press Sports EditOr)

st. Louis, July 10.--(UP)-There
was time when the New York
Yankees could yell "boo" at the Ma
tional League and frighten the boys
clear out of the ball park, but those
days are gone-maybe forever.
The fortunes Of the Yankees
struck bottom yesterday here on the
banks of the Mississippi when an
alert, aggressive National League
team won the all-star game from an
American League club that includ-
ed in its starting lineup five men
from what used to be the "terror
team" of baseball The score was 4
to 0 but 1t doesn't tell the entire
story.
Yanks Legend Dies
For Bill McKechnie's National
Leaguers were cocky and confident,
they pitched to the Yankees fear
lessly and they belted the daylights
out Of Rufus (the Red) Ruffing, the
pitcher who once had to do nothing
more than put on his glove to beat
the National League.
The legend that the Yankees are
invincible dies hard, and so Man
ager Joe Cronin of the American
League team put In his starting
lineup Charlie Keller, Joe DiMag-
gio, Bill Dickey, Joe Gordon and
Ruff1ng. And they were 8 to 5 favor
ties before the game. But here is the
dismal record that the Ave Yankees
made.
Keller: Famed once, grounded
out once.
DiMaggio: Grounded out once, hit
two flies to the outfield and one pop
to the infield.
Dickey: Grounded out weakly
once before being removed.
Gordon: Famed twice and was
lifted for pinch hitter.
Ruffing: Gave up five hits and
three runs in three innings.
The old zing isn't there any more
for the Yankees and this probably
will go down as the year in which
the era of domination by murder
ers row" came to its end.
McKechnie Takes Bow
N4CxASCAlAA1C SesAA VelhV q WV VAA OAAS
shrewd way in which he moved five
pitchers into the game scored the
first shutout in the eight all-star
games and took command OF the
battle from the first pitch. Paul
Derringer Bucky Walters, Whit
wyatt, Larry French and Carl Hub
bell sent fast ones and curled curves
past the best power hitters in the
American League and once the first
inning was over there didn't seem
to be any doubt about the outcome.
The hero Of the game was Max
West, outflelder of the Boston Bees,
who got into the starting lineup
only because McKechnie had an
eleventh-hour bunch that caused
him to pick him over Mel OFT Of
the New York Giants. West came
up in the first inning with Arky
Vaughan of the Pirates and Billy
Herman of the Cubs on base. Ruff
fing threw a fast one just above
Vests knees and Max swung. The
ball screamed into the right field
pavilion for a homer and that was
the ball game.
The goat Of the all-star game:

MIDDLE CHAMP
WINS EASY IN

Italian Asks Referee to
Halt Slaughter in Ninth
Round at New York
BY JACK CUDDY
UNITED Press staff Correspondent

(Un1ted PreSS StaH COrreSpOHuehV
New York, July 10. Cup =
They're calling Middleweight Cham
pion Ken Overlin Butch" today in
stead of "Playboy" after the bloody
Job he did last night at greensboro
arena where he forced Harry Bal
samo, New York's betting brakeman,
to quit in the ninth round-his face
streaming gore.
Ken Goes Beserk.
Debonair Overlin-king Of the
cocktail loungs-the matinee molls'
delight-went savagely beserk at the
milk fund show, Infatuated by Bal
samo's rough tactics, and treated the
1900 fans to a rhapsody in red.
Balsamo, bleeding from brows,
cheeks and mouth, asked Referee
Billy Cavanaugh to halt the slaugh-
ter. Cavanaugh did this at 2:38 OF
the ninth, giving Overlin technical
knockout victory. They were slated
for 10 rounds.
The middleweight crown which
Overlin wrested from Ceferino Gar
cha at Madison Square Garden on
May % was not at stake, since both
principals were over the 160-pound
limit. But hard-hitting Balsamo was
desperately determined to win, real
izing that victory would virtually as
sure him shot at Billy COINS
light heavyweight title. Hence the
brakeman, scaling ITO IA pounds to
Overlin's 161 10, made mockery OF
the Marquis Of Queensberry rules.
He rabbit-punched, hit on the breaks
and finally almost wrestled Ken
over the ring ropes IN the eighth
round.
Despite these tactics Balsamo lost
every round but the second, which
was even. The champions whirlwind
hooking attack befuddled him and
had him staggering several times.
There were no knockdowns, but
Balsamo slipped to the canvas at
the bell in the fourth when Over
lin warded him of with a back
hand.
After the bout, Overlin said, II
never got so mad at anybody in my
life. He did everything but use a
club. My head feels like rockpile,
it's so full Of Jumps from those rab-
bit punches. But ! took care OF
him."

TODAY'S
SPORT
PARADE
BY HENRY McLEMORE
UNITED Press STAR Correspondent

New York, July 10-(UP)-I've al
ready done my Christmas shopping
Come the 25th Of December, my
friends are going to get from me
the United States Lawn Tennis as.
ISOLATION wrapped in appropriate
ribbon, and marked don't open un-
til-you have to"
I decided on this novel gift when
I read a raft Of statements by Walter
Pate, a prominent member Of the
U. s. L. T. A., and for several years
the non-playing captain Of the
American Davis cup team.
Mr.. Pate, who is lovingly known
as "Addle" to some Of us, issued his
statements after being asked what
he thought of the idea Of holding an
open tennis championship at Forest
Hills for the benefit of the Red Cross
Hard to Stop Talking
After due consideration, Mr.. Pate
said he thought 1t was a great idea
but only because a great charity like
the Red Cross would beenf1t from
having the professionals mingle and
mix with the sacred and glorious
youngsters who play the game fol
fun.
Once started talking, Mr.. Pate was
hard to stop and If the remarks
credited to him are accurate (and
I have no reason to believe that they
are not) he put the old blasteroo on
the professionals. He expressed the
opinion that an open championship
would be farce, as only three pros
Don Bulge, Fred Perry and Ellis
worth Vines-could stay on the same
court with the IL leading amateur
players.
The fact that Mr.. Pate ignored
such fine professionals as Les Stoe-
fen, Bruce Barnes and half a dozen
others does not rile me so much as
does his even considering an open
tournament.
If he had said the U. s. L. T. A,
wanted no part Of an open cham
pionship, that the U. s. l.. T. A.
shuddered at the thought Of having
the amateurs brush flannels with the
money-tainted pros, and that even
the sacred waters of the Ganges
would not be powerful enough to
cleanse an amateur official once he
had talked directly to a professional,
I would not have considered send
ing Mr.. Pate or any Of his U. s. l..
T. A. brothers to you as q Christmas
present. I would have been selfish
and kept them for myself, and treas
ured them as men Of honest convic-
tons and as men who stood by their
ideals, no matter what the cost.
International Angle Dead
That is the way the U. s. L. T. A.
has always felt. Always felt, that
Is. until hard times hit them. With
the world at peace, American tennis
did not need the color and skill of
the professionals to bolster its tour
naments. There was always a sufti-
cient number Of foreign amateurs"
entered to provide box Office flavor.
But now, with England, France, Ger
many, Hungary, Italy, Poland and
all the other European nations either
at war or recovering from war, the
international angle is dead as yes
terday's sunset.
So, the U. s. L. r. A. Is throwing
out feelers concerning an open tour
nament. Two years ago-one year
ago-the mention Of clash between
pros and amateurs would have
brought the mentioner only the lift
Of social eyebrows.
Now-hell, let's be brutal about 1t
amateur organizations are amateur
only when the money Is rolling in,
When they start to go broke they'll
go for anything.
