And that just about sums up last night's game in which the National Leaguers took their customary shellacking from the American Leaguers. Things GE RON I MO! GERONIMO!

Doerr Was The Flash But- this time it was Robert Pershing Doerr, the Los Angles "Lulu" who has been playing a lot of infield lor the Boston Red Sox, but has more or less been the second-base shadow cast by the Yanks' Joe Gordon for sev- seasons. Well, Joe the flash was just the "American League bench jockey" last night, and the Nationals went out in front i with a run in the first inning and were just bouncing along behind Mort Cooper. Then, in the second, before you or the 31,938 cash ers knew what was cooking, the roof fell in, and it was the old Yankee story dressed up in ft Bed Sox suit.

BLISTERED MISTER The blister on Mort Cooper's finger, which came from a misguided match, provided a lot of pre-game conversation taut Mort tried his best to keep from using it as an alibi. It bothered his control a little, he said, the finger he 7 blistered a few hours before, apparently show- ing how not to light a cigarette. Bobby aimed it at the left field stands, and it just barely gasped Its way into the lower seats. A yard shorter, and it would have been only a fly out. That was your ball game, and for all the rest of the game meant to the final result, the tjoys might just as well have monies far the rest a would-be porter in the station.

But Southworth didn't get his wish that Cooper would do as well as Beazley did the next time out. SHIBE PARK SHIVAREE Before last night's game someone automatically asked: "Who's pitching for the Yankees?" But there wasn't a Yankee in the ball came for the first time in All-Star history. It looked Billy Bartz Has Only One Arm But He Can Make It Talk On Soft Ball Mound CHICAGO, July boyhood accident which cost Billy Bartz the loss of his left arm failed to keep him off the sports field--and in a starring role. Billy was 11 when he suffered the loss of his arm--a giant firecracker he had picked up exploding in his hand. Like legion of boys, Billy was interested in all sports and baseball was his favorite game.

Some day, he often had hoped, he might become a big league pitcher. But baseball, with his handicap, was sidetracked for softball and Billy was good enough to play on boys' teams in suburban Forest Park, his home. He was a pitcher and the kids who batted against him soon realized he was just about the best softball boy hurler in the community. In a few years, Bartz' reputation as a softball pitcher Drought him offers to pitch in faster competition and he hurl- ed for some of the top aggre- gations in Chicago. In 1940 he joined the matches when that team was organized and in the following year he hurled the club to the Chicago Metropolitan championship, in the 1941 softball tourney at Detroit the team reached the qualifying spot, due largely to young Bartz's pitching.

He's recognized as one of the best softball pitchers i the Metropolitan area--where there are scores of top-ranking moundsmen and his record shows the impressive total of 265 victories against 41 defeats. He's still pitching for the matches and among the teams he has defeated this season were the South Bend 1941 world champions, on two occasions. Bartz, who is employed as a production manager, is 27 and recently he entered the political field in Forest Park. He was elected village commissioner by the largest majority ever recorded.

Durocher Has No Idea Of Resigning Babe Ruth Back With Bruised Shin Cone NEW YORK, July Babe Ruth came back from his Boston charity baseball appearance, nursing a bruised shin bone No Status Change Declares Rickey NEW YORK, July 14--UP)--Leo Durocher has no intention of resigning as manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers although there have been reports that he is on the way out as the result of the flare-up among the players last week end.

Reports were that Durocher told his players Sunday that he was going to tender his resignation to President Branch Rickey but later changed his over shooting a 69 in golf for the first time. It happened last week at North Hills, he told his close friend Jack Schafer.

Durocher said it was for "general after he had been quoted as saying it was for "showing up" Bobby Bragan when the latter missed a third strike. Complete Yank Army In Field For First Time Patron's New 7th Took 60 Of 100-Mile Area In 48 Hours By DANIEL DE LUCE ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA, July 14--(IP)-For the first time in this war a complete American Army Is fighting in the field against Germany and Italy. The new United States Seventh Army under the command of Lt. Gen.

George S. Patton Jr. captured 60 miles- of the 100-mile stretch of the Sicilian coast on which the Allies established the mighty bridgehead within 48 hours of the start of their European invasion. With Second Corps The Seventh Army comprises some units from the former U. S.

Second Corps, which under Patton's leadership, slugged back the major share of Marshal Erwin Rommel's armored forces in Southern Tunisia. It includes also units which engaged in the original landings and fighting in Morocco last November, but never saw action in Tunisia. Streamlined for super-modern troops and glider-borne assault troops were added to the Seventh Army before it swept over the Mediterranean and they actually began the Sicilian attack three to five hours before the first seaborne forces landed. In addition, the Seventh Army has units which never saw action in this war but were rated among the best trained of America's millions of soldiers. Addressed by Gen, Ike General Dwight D.

Eisenhower, Allied commander in chief, himself during his military career of more than a quarter- century served with one of the fresh units. Addressing them at an African invasion port a few days before they sailed, General Eisenhower told the men of this unit: "I'll see you on a new battle line--it won't be long. Good luck!" General Sir Bernard L. Montgomery's British Eighth Army, like Patton's American Seventh, combines veterans with battle freshmen, augmented by an airborne striking force. Divisions which broke the El Alamein line, stormed Mareth entrenchments and blasted the Wadi El Akarit positions out of existence in the historic march to Tunis are still fighting under "Monty." Well Trained Canucks In addition, highly trained Canadians whose Dieppe expedition set a high standard of valor are an important element of the British onrush.

She will represent that unit of i the armed forces in the All- American tournament at Tarn O'Shanter country club next 1 week field commanders In Western Europe. Montgomery's record of unbroken success in chasing the German African corps 2,000 miles inspired some of Prime Minister Churchill's most brilliant oratory.

General Patton was spotlighted as a character of "blood and guts" while he was still in the United States. He captured the Atlantic coast stretch of French Africa last November in probably the fiercest engagements of all the Allied landings. Like Lt. General Mark W. Clark, who is still commanding the Fifth Army in North Africa training areas, General Patton disappeared from the battle scene.

But after American divisions in Southern Tunisia suffered a temporarily heavy reverse by Rommel's Kasserine Pass offensive, Patton returned to action with a newly constituted second corps. Replacing Major General Lloyd Fredendall and with more freedom for individual decision than his predecessor was allowed, Patton's first move was to inaugurate stricter discipline among the troops. "Tie and leggings," Patton he was nicknamed for his rigid orders that no American soldier on the Tunisian front should be seen without wearing these articles. Ironically, Patton's long training in tank warfare found little room for application in Southern Tunisia in March and April for it was a chiefly knock down-drag out infantry fight which the American's staged on Rommel's flank while Montgomery was smashing frontally up the African coast. After the British Eighth Army and the American second corps made their junction in the El Guettar Patton again disappeared from the scene, being called to a new, secret assignment.

To him General Eisenhower entrusted the American now fighting In Sicily. In Sicily, the first days of the fighting have been mainly in "Infantry show" for the Americans, although the enemy hurled the heaviest armored blow of Our Sailors Buy Near $7,000,000 Worth Of War Bonds A Month WASHINGTON, July In sharp contrast to their legendary spending ways, American sailors are buying approximately $6,000,000 worth of War Bonds a month.
