 Pittsburgh, July 12 (U.P) - The bottom half of the National League had proved too tough today for the top half of the American League and the senior circuit boast ed its most impressive all-star game triumph in the 12-year history of baseball's midsummer world series.
 For 1t was Phil Cavaretta and Big Bill Nicholson, whose Chicago Cubs are buried deep in seventh place In the National League pennant race, who led an assault that blasted Q three-year American League victory streak by 2 to score nd gave the Mats their fourth triumph of the series.
 The victim of their murderous hitting before a sweltering crowd of 29,589 at Forbes field last night was none other than Tex Hughson of the Boston Red Sox. Big Tex had won IA against only three losses in the American League pennant chase this year, but that made little dif- ference to the two Chicago clouters and their National League team- mates.
 They hopped on the Texas tosser from the second place Bo-Sox in the fifth inning and before they batted around the lineup they had touched him for five hits and four runs that made all-star history. It was the biggest inning the Mats ever had in l2 games against the Americans, and 1t blew the ball game wide open.
 Close At First
 Hank Borowy of the Yankees and Bucky Walters of the Cincinnati Reds opened on the mound for 8 while 1t was a tight ball game. Bor- owy gave up three hits in his three inning tenure and Walters, although he gave five hits, allowed the Amer jeans only one run.
 That came in the second inning when Ken Keltner of Cleveland singled and advanced to third on two infield outs. Borowy then bounced a single through the middle to score Keltner with the lone American tally.
 Hughson took over for the Amer jeans in thet fourth, and set down the Mats in short order. But then came the fifth, and disaster. Connie Ryan greeted him with a single and stole second as Marion famed. Then Came Nicholson with his heavy bat and Big Bill blasted out a screech- ing double that sent Ryan home with the tying run. Augie Galan came through with single to score Nicholson with what proved to be the clincher.
 McQuinn Error
 Cayarretta-Who had busy night with a triple, single and three walks-got a pass to first. Stan Musial bounced to Bobby Doerr at second, but First Baseman George McQuinn dropped the toss and the bases were full. Walker Cooper then singled to left, scoring Galan, and Cavaretta tried to make 1t home only to be trapped at the plate by Bob Johnson's toss to Hayes. Musial meanwhile moved to third and came home on Dixie Walkers single. :.
 The National leaguers still weren't satisfied and they pushed two more across in the seventh. Hal New houser of Detroit went in to pitch and they proceeded to belt him around. Again 1t was Cavaretta, with a single to center. Musial sac- rificed him to. second and Phil went to third when Cooper beat out an infield hit. walker went out on 8 fly but Whitey Kurowski slammed double that scored both Cavarretta and Cooper.
 And in the eighth they really put it on ice with one more. Marion tanned but reached first when Frankie Hayes missed the ball Ducky Medwick sacrificed him to second and Galan and Cavaretta-- again-both walked to fill the bases. Musial lined to Johnson, Marion scoring after the catch, and thai was the ball game.
 The Americans used five hurlers, Borowy, Hughson. Bob Muncrier, Hal Newhouser and Bobo Newsoni, and they gave up l2 hits. The Mats used four. Walters. Ken Rafiens- berger, Rip Sewell and Jim Tobin, with Rafiensberger getting credit for the win in his first all-star start. The foursome gave the Ameri- cans only six hits.
 As losing Manager Joe McCar- thy summed 1t up:
 "They out.pitched us, out-hit us and made more runs. And they had two tough lads named Cavaretta and Nicholson.
