United Press Staff Correspondent
 Philadelphia, July 13. (UP)-The midsummer nights dream game proved a temporary nightmare.
 Sports writers, assembled from vaious cities for tonights all-star game, scurried about Philadelphia hotels yesterday afternoon, sweat ing, flabergasted and distraught when it seemed that they would have no advance line-ups for to- days papers.
 Billy Southworth, manager of the National squad, had his starting lineup ready to shoot, but insisted he could not release it until Joe Mccarthy, pilot of the American squad, announced his batting array. Mccarthy then was on a train, somewhere between Chicago and Philadelphia.
 Despite the entreaties of reporters, who craved at least one lineup to work on, Southworth declared: q have an agreement with Mccarthy that he will announce the American League lineup first: cannot break my word"
 Just when the writers were des- perately readying their own prob able line-ups, Mccarthy arrived from Chicago. Because Nassau Joe had had no chance to talk to his shift line-up-with no pitcher Then Southworth, disclosing his batting order slated Mort Cooper to pitch for the Nationals
 This mound situation inspired Dick McCann of the New York Daily News to write: "Itll be Mort Cooper against the Masked Marvel at Shibe Park"
 Confusion
 When the writers were cooling out last night at a downtown ren- ups revealed that Mccarthy appar- ently had announced not one, but four different tentative line-ups. It was heartening to discover however, that all agreed on the major point no starting American League pitcher.
 During the confusion that pre- ceded McCarthys arrival, we be- came convinced that telephone 1 paraphernalia in Philadelphia hotels (including lobby booths) must be built of asbestos. Otherwise there would have been confagra- tions in the various hostelries as sweltering reporters-in the shadow of deadlines-poured invective into the mouthpieces when given wrong

Bisons Win from Divisions

Bisons Win from Divisions
 Mario Martone set the pace for the Bisons when he stepped to the plate in the very first inning and walloped out a long hit. Rinaldi and Yorke were on base before the disconcerted Divisions could gather their wits. Before we knew it Louils Viscosi and Captain Mike Martone pounded the outfield with long drives to clear dthe bases. Up to the plate came Winnie Caterino and Bobby Poulter to further befuddle the boys from Division street, get ting on base on terrible errors. One could hardly blame pitcher Nick eerugini for pasisng little Joe Doc- ;hio and Joe Perrotti on balls. All ln all, that first half of the first was a nightmare for the Divisions. 1t took them two innings to recover from their initial surprise.
 Until the fourth inning it looked as though the score would remain at five to nothing. In the last of that inning, however, the Divisions got their break when Fred Giam- pietro received base on balls and Joe Lamatino managed to collect his first hit of the ball game. This seemed to give the boys new hope because Auggie Ciresi came to the plate and slammed out a two-bag- ger which Frank Daddona and Joe Perazella followed with safe base hits. At the end of the fourth the score was decided more comfort able, five to four for the Bisons.
 Louis Viscosi drove a long one into left field in the Bisons half of the fifth, scoring Mario Rinaldi for the second time. Louis, however, was stopped at second when he overran the base trying to stretch his hit into three-baser.
 In the sixth frame the Divisions pushed Joe Giampietro across for the second time and Frank Daddona scored for his teammates evening up the ball game at six to six. It was nip and tuck from there on un- til in the top of the first overtime inning Captain Mike Martone crossed the plate once again for the Bisons after takingf advantage of Division error. Final score: Bisons 2, Divisions 6.

naval officials have an idea that the war

Obviously. the admirals know that war
