Homer-Flappy National League
Nav Be All-Star Game Favorite
BY JACK HAND

CHICAGO, July s. up Times
have changed in baseball when
the bunt-M-home run happy cltl
ZEN banks on power from the
booming bats of New York's John
ny Mize and Walker Cooper to put
the slug on the American League
pitchers in the 18th All-Star game
Tuesday at Wrigley Field.
Trailing ga in the series dating
back to 1888 when the opener was
played here at Comiskey Park,
the long : suffering Nationals still
blush at the memory Of last years
1910 rout in Boston which Williams
of the Red Sox turned into a Ro-
man holiday with two homers, two
singles and five runs batted IN.
Even St. Louis upset world series
win couldn't erase that.
With Ewell Blackwell of Clncln-
natl, who missed a double no-hlt-
ter by two outs, primed for duty,
the Nationals can count on a tlght
defense. Manager Eddie Dyer can
select BlackwelIs successor from
Boston's Johnny Sain and Warren
SPAIN, Philadelphia's Schoolooy
Rowe. Brooklyn's Ralph Branca
or his own Harry Brecheen and
George Munger, st. Louis.
But this year the National is OF
tense = conscious. Home runs by
Mize, Cooper ard others have
electrified the fans in the first half
of the season. There has ben a
tendency to gamble for the big
inning, discarding the safe-and-
sane sacrifice bunt that has held
sway in the elder circuit for so
many years.
It never was true that a walk,
stolen base, bunt and an outtleld
fly constituted a National League
rally, but the circuit had carved
out a rep as the long ball had
been accepted as an American
League trade mark.
The 1947 figures belle the old
theory. As the clubs turned the
half way pole July 4, the National
held the home u lead with plen-
ty to spare. American League pit
cheers, too often maligned as mere
ly boys who can throw a ball
hard, have hurled half again as
many shutouts as their cross
league rivals.
President Ford Prick has taken
a hand in the pre-game planning.
At a meeting with Manager Dyer
he insisted that the players take
the game seriously or forget the
whole thing. 1t seems Prick was
most unhappy about Rip Sewell's
blooper pitch that Williams golfed
for his second homer last year at
FenWay Park.
There is every indication that
the athletes on both sides will be
bearing down. For the first time
they will be directly sharing in
the proceeds, probably about $780,
0G0, through their pension fund.
Although neither Dyer nor Joe
Cronin of Boston, who pilots the
American leagueTs, will name q
starting pitcher until II am.
01ST) Monday, it is expected that
Detroit's Hal NeWhouser will be
Cronin's choice. This is especially
true because the starting National
lineup, as designated by the vote
of some two million fans, will in
clude five lefthanded batters.
Cronin, who like Dyer, named
the other II members of the squad
after the fans picked the starting
eight, pitchers excepted, has
seven other pitchers who could fol-
low Newhouser. New York's dele
cation Of Spud Chandler, Frank
Shea and Washington's Walt Mas

car dealers.
eve all know that new cars are
finding their way to used car lots
and are being sold at inflated
prices" Mr.. Black said. Such sales
are illegal in that they violate the

The State official said he planned

"bootlegging of new cars"
As a result of the State police
survey, IL used car dealers face
possible revocation of their licenses
he added.
Mr.. Black said State troopers
went to used car lots and negotiated
for car purchases. New cars, he
added, were offered at far in excess
of the list price.
Some of the cars didn't even
have license plates" he declared
Most of them had factory wrap

suspect that a few new car dealers
are turning recent models over to

West Reports Friede
Favored Gamewel,
Reaches No Decision

A new development in the Com
missioners' investigation OF charges
that former Fire Alarm Supt. Her
bert A. Friede drafted specifications
for fire alarm equipment in favor OF
one company came today when they
released the official opinion in the
case of Corporation Counsel Vernon
e. West.
But Mr.. Vests opinion, which was
made last January 6, reached no
conclusion on Mr.. Friede's inten-
tions, nor did it recommend what
action the Commissioners should
take.
Uncertain of Motive.
Mr.. Friede was denoted last Feb
ruary to the post of communications
superintendent and the fire alarm
system was turned over to the Fire
Department, after the charges came
to light.
In his opinion, Mr.. West said. he
had been unable to decide whether
Mr.. Friede wrote the specifications
the way he did because of friend
ship" for officials of the GameWell
Co. of Boston, who supplied fire.
alarm equipment to the city, or be-
cause he felt the company's product
was far superior to any other"
Mr.. West said that Mr.. Fr1ede
used bad Judgment" in delegatine
to the Gamewell Co. the complete
drafting of specifications.
In addition, he admitted that Mr.
Friede would have been guilty OF a
breach of duty to the District II ne
had drafted the flre-alarm specif1-
cations so only Gamewell could bid
when he knew some other product
would do as well.
Correspondence Studied.
But as to whether some other
product would in fact have done as
well, Mr.. West said he had "been
unable to obtain an answer"
The opinion was written after a
close study of correspondence be-
tween Mr.. Friede and the Game
well Co. that is part of evidence IN
an antitrust prosecution OF the
firm being made in Boston by the
Justice Department.
Mr.. West was very careful to
point out in his opinion that there
was nothing in the correspondence
to indicate Mr.. Friede had "bene-
fitted personally by his actions
