ort lit FeUeir Before 62,094 By Jack Smith Cleveland, July 7. Showing no mercy to the Aried Forces of the United States, the AL All-Stars shut out Lieut. Mickey Cochrane's Service nine, 5-0, here tonight as 65,000 fans jammed the huge Municipal Stadium for baseball's biggest contribution to the Nation's War effort. The AL sluggers hammered Chief Specialist Bob Feller from the box in the second inning before Johnny Rigney, ex-White Sox righthander, stalked in from the bullpen and stole the show with five innings of scoreless pitching. 2 It was a big evening and a sue-" f.

The Service team, composed of major leaguers recruited from training quarters all over the country and the Canal Zone, played surprisingly good ball and, while never in a threatening position made the game considerably more than a listless exhibition.

The flag raising cere mony was particularly impressive, with white clad units from the Navv and Coast Guard marching to a formation with its point at home plate Mickey Finally Finned Despite these pre-game smiles, there was intense rivalry between Joe McCarthy (left) and Lieut. Mickey Cochrane, managers of the All-Star clash in Cleveland last night. Joe's 5-0 triumph avenged '34 and '35 AL seasons, when Mickey's tigers took pennant from Joe's Yanks.

It's the first time a Cleveland manager ever has been cheered this late in the season. Mickey Harris, Red Sox south shot between Chapman and Grace, nudged the final run across.

Offensively the Service nine showed no sustained punch and had only two good scoring chances. Jim Bagby 's wildness set up a swell opportunity for them in the first.

Phil Rizzuto opened cautioned before the game "not to expect too much," just didn't have the stuff he once breezed past the sluggers. He was walloped for two runs in the first inning and cracked for hits by the first two batters in the second before he retired dejectedly from the field with generous applause drumming in his ears. Rapid Robert succeeded in retiring Lou Boudreau, first to face him in the first frame, but Henrich beat out a hit to Cecil Travis back of second base. Williams walked, Joe DiMaggio thumped a run-scoring single and Rudy York a run-scoring fly.
