r9 II I It's Our Show, Fans, So Pack That P. At Least Four-Probably Five-Dodgers In Starting Lineup Against A. L. Stars In Twilight Tilt for Bat and Ball Fund By TOMMY HOLMES If you're a baseball fan, this Is the day to forget the standings of the clubs. Your duty and your pleasure, too should be to high-tall to Harlem, where In the early evening Leo Durocher leads his'National League All-Stars Into action against the pick of the powerhouse American League.

Probably the opening catcher will be Mickey Owen. Whit Wyatt will pitch three innings somewhere en route and Peewee Reese will do something in the course of the evening. OnOOKLYfJ EAGLE In this wartime year, most ball clubs are beefing about the difficulty of arranging transportation from town to town because of railroad priorities.

Wherefore, our magnificently illogical Dodgers chart How our N. L. outfit will fare against Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Joe Gordon and the rest of the A. L. muscle men remains to be seen but the feeling is that the National League team has a somewhat better SPORTS a tour that breaks all records than even chance this year.

MacPHAIL, PHILANTHROPIST Funny thing that Fate should drop this evening's All-Star party into the Polo Grounds. It is a shot in the arm that the Giants need badly.

The Giants have always thrived on prestige. And they have had mighty little of it these last few years. The Polo Grounders were always uppity, high and mighty. Back in 1904, when they were owned by John T. sBrush, an upstart ball club named the Highlanders started to cut into Giant patronage.

The Highlanders (later the Yankees) were good, and World Series Revision Plan Is Well Backed YANKS CONFIDENT SLUMP IS ENDED Believe They Can Meet Any Challenge Now Whether Lead Is Commanding or Slight By GEORGE E. COLEMAN the season when the Braves were weaving in and out of second place, the Dodgers beat them eight straight games. Since slumping to seventh place, they've given Brooklyn plenty of what-for. In the past week, Boston beat Brooklyn two out of three. The one Dodger victory was undefeated Larry French's ninth straight.

No Brooklyn pitcher has racked up as long a string since Dazzy Vance won IS In a row 17 years ago. Slinging and sweating, bearing down every minute of nine innings, he nosed out Alva Javery to win a 2 to 1 duel.

Brush drew himself up to his full height and said gravely to reporters: "I am aware of the Existence of only one major league ball team in New York." Terry, of course, got really snooty as soon as he won a pennant for the Giants in 1933, and it was in 1934 that he made his classic rhubarb remark: "Is Brooklyn still in the league?"

Then, too, a tying Brooklyn rally the eighth was a little too sudden for the team's own good. It was after Camilli's 12th homer of the season sailed into the rightfield bleachers with one oa tying the score at 5 5, that an interesting discovery was made.

There was no pitcher whatever in the Brooklyn bullpen and the Incumbent on the mound was Newell Kimball, who hasn't been at all steady in tight spots. Higbe, Casey and Webber were despatched from the bench and some furious activity began. Meanwhile. Kimball walked Max first Boston hitter in the eighth. Higbe pitched nine innings in Philadelphia the day before but he was thrown into the breech because theoretically he heats up faster than Casey or Webber.

He induced Lombardi to ground into a double play. But then Paul Waner walked and Eddie Miller rattled a tremendous double high off the center-field fence. Waner gamboled over the plate with the run that gave the Braves a 6 5 decision. Giants' Hopes Are Jolted By Tailend Phils The Giants worked out at the Polo Grounds today, Manager Mel Ott wisely figuring they needed some practice after a double defeat, by the Phils at Shibe Park yesterday Thursday the Ottmen open a Western trip in St. Louis and this swing through the baseball badlands may make or break them as lust-division contenders.

HITTING THE THRILL JACKPOT Perhaps you do not think tonight's All-Star game is the tremendous show that I make it out to be.

Well From its inception, there's been a bit of Belasco, a real Ziegfeld zing to the All-Star classic. This promotion seems to move under a lucky star. No series of ball games you can mention has produced more thrills than the nine All-Star games. That is luck, of course.

MAJOR LEAGUE RECORDS series, which will automatically result in larger proceeds for Army and Navy Relief, and (2i road-showing the series through minor league cities, with the ultimate purpose of serving as a powerful stimulant to national interest in the game. The first four games of the series, according to tfie program, will be piayed in the two contending spots tor example, New York and Brooklyn if they win the American and Notional League pennants. Then the remainder of the series would hit the road on a tour that would last until the series winner is decided. There are at least 14 minor league cities in which the baseball parks can accommodate 15 000 or more fans some of them having a capacity ranging up to 35.000. National League STANDINC OF THE CU BS Amerlcon leaa- STAND IN ft OP TH' DIZZY'S FATEFUL PITCH Greatest single feat, I'll always think, was Hubbell's in 1934.

Not the fact that he struck out Ruth, Gehrig and Simmons with two on in the first inning, nor the fact that he whiffed Foxx and Cronin, first two men up in the second. The real trick was, I think, that he salvaged the day for the National League by taking everybody's attention from the fact that the N. L. lost, 97. A real Potemkin play.

Although the American Leaguers did their advertised stuff that day, exploding a six-run inning as they massacred Warneke, Mungo and Dean, Hubbell stole the show. Most ludicrous play unless you count the fact that Lefty Gomez drove home the first run ever scored in All-Star competition, in 1933 was the bunt Durocher made in 1938. He was trying to sacrifice Frank McCormick to second. But irst Foxx, then DiMaggio threw the bunt wild, and not only McCormick but Lippy scored. Four bases on a bunt often talked of, but have you ever seen it? Most fateful pitch even including the one that Ted Williams pickled for a three-run homer with two out in the ninth to steal last year's Ail-Star game at Detroit was the one Dizzy Dean threw to Lou Gehrig at Washington in 1937.

It was in the third inning, there had been no score, Joe DiMaggio was on first base, and two were out. Dean worked Lou to a 3-and-2 count, and then "shook off Catcher Gabby Hartnett. Had Dizzy taken Gabby's sign, would the whole course of his career, and baseball history, have been different? Gehrig hit what Dean wanted to throw hit it for a two-run homer. That was not vital. But had Dizzy retired Gehrig, he'd have been through his three-inning stint.

He never would have had his big toe cracked by a line drive off the bat of the next hitter, Earl Averill. It was that injury which later unhinged the greatest pitching arm the modern game has seen, with the possible exception of Bob Feller's. Background? Color? Yarns? There's a story on every pitch in these All-Star games, so watch closely this evening up there under the lee of Coogan's Bluff. BORO TENNIS BOWL FINDS LIKELY WINNER IN SEGURA I Dodger Diary V.
