Unforgettable Memories Make |All-Star Game An Institution
Williams Clout Showed Bitter League Rivalry
 M .,. .. .
N * x
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

New York, July 6-Unforgettable memories have made the annual AlI-Star game an institution.
 Filing into the Polo Grounds, July 6, for this years meeting of the pick of the majors, thousands will recall the towering drive of Ted Williams which pulled the game out of the fire for the Ameri- cans in Detroit last season. Claude Passeau apparently had the battle in the bag for the Ma tions when Joe DiMaggio hit into what seemed to be an open and shut double play in the ninth But Billy Herman threw poorly to first base, so there were two on
 and two out when the willoWy Williams stepped to the plate.
 Williams home run to the right field roof brought out the bitter rivalry between the two leagues. His American League teammates went up in the air like so many college cheerleaders.
 Williams clout deprived Arky Vaughan of richly deserved glory, for the then Pittsburgh Shortstop became the first player in All-Star Game history to manufacture two home runs in the one engagement. FIVE VETERAN PITCHERS SHUT OUT THE AMERICANS
 National Leaguers turned in the only shutout at Sportsman's Park, St. Louis, in 1940. Too much Der ringer, Walters, Wyatt, French and Hubbell, veterans all, in the order named. Max West clinched it in jiffy with a home run in the first inning off Red Ruff1ng with Vaughan and Herman on base.
 Remember Robert William An- drew Teller stepping in as a relief pitcher at Yankee Stadium in '39, forcing the batter to hit into a fast double ply, and go- ing on from there?
 Rem m Der Bo-Bo NewSon about the American League pitching selection in Cin- cinnati in '38, and Mace Brown striking out Rudolph Preston York with the bases loaded late in the game?
 The late Lou Gehrig's home run over the right-centerfield fence of Dizzy Dean with man on base rather early in the going was the piece de resistance in Washington in '37. It was in this engagement that a liner off Earl Averilrs bat struck OF Dizzy Dean on the gam.
