TIIE BROOKLYN CITIZEN, TUESDAY, JULY 6, 1937. er nd Eosjem Makes Vanderbilt Cup Classic Just a One Man Race JUST BEFORE TrlfSTART OF THE VANDERBILT CUP RACE AT ROOSEVELT RACEWAY German Driver, Once Race Settled Down, Was Always Favorite Vage Six By LESLIE AVERY There wasn't-a' snicker at the Alpine hat or the Bavarian shorts of Rosemeyer today as the blond, affable German stepped "up to claim a check for $20,000 first prize for lis daring victory in the second Vanderbilt Cup race. Those oddities were forgotten by a horde of 70,000 persons who jammed Roosevelt Raceway and saw the "Rhine-and Rocket" dominate an international field of the finest iriveVs and the speediest racing machines in the world. The victory was a tribute not only to his capable driving, but to i magnificent piece of machinery and the precision of his pit Rosemeyer, at times flashing down the straightaways 150 to 160 miles an hour, finished the 300-mile grind vl Jura! toSi. )04apa around the three and one-third mile course in tnree hours and 38 minutes for an average of 82.564 miles per wmm wm 'flTDC II A VV WflW I i 3 -S mil Bi IWUt World Koto) The drivers await the drop of the flag to start 300-mile grind for the George Vanderbilt Cup over the Long Island track Waite Hoyt Pitches But He Just Bill Terry's Selections for N.

Team Still Causing Many Hot Arguments By GEORGE KIRKSEY WASHINGTON, July 6 There was a lull in the pennant races today as the rival major leagues gathered their strongest forces for tomorrow's fifth annual all-star game at Griffith Stadium. A capacity crowd of 32,000 persons was expected. Among them will be President Roosevelt. The nation's No. 1 pitcher pronounced his arm in shape to toss out the first ball.

All-Star games of the past have By LEE SCOTT Fate insists on being unkind to Waite Hoyt. The one time "Schoolboy Wonder" has yet to win a game since he became a Dodger for a second time. The fact that Hoyt has not yet been credited with a triumph in five starts is no fault of his. With any offensive support the veteran right hander would have registered at least two triumphs for Brooklyn. But for some reason or other, the Dodgers forget how to hit five 1 1 Gomez; catcher, Dickey; first baseman.

Bushwicks' Thrilling 10th Inning Win Peps Team for Farmers' Series The Bushwick players are all keyed up for the opening of their series with the Farmers tomorrow night at Dexter Park. Over the week-end Joe Press' lads broke even with the strong Newark Eagles by putting on one of the greatest finishes ever seen at Dexter Park. The Eagles had won the first game because they kit George Earnshaw hard in two innings. After the colored lads had banged around the former big leaguer Herbie Pari-man was sent in and did a fine relief job.

While 'Rosemejer and Seaman ook the biggest cut of the swag, khe able driving of Rex Mays. 24- ear-old Californian from Glendale, Lvas one of the high spots of the ace. Mays, in a reconditioned Alfa Romeo called a Bowes healfast fepecial, finished third, less than Ininutes behind Seaman with an kverage of 80.144 nrp.h.

Mays never lilt more than 139 m.p.h on the straight stretches, some twenty miles less than the powerful cars if his European opponents. Yet, his Hogged driving on lie seven turns pads up more than seventeen miles tf that handicap. He took third Wise of $5,000 and sn additional for the first American driver Ito finish. Two Stars Forced Out The race lost some of its spice when Tazio Nuvolari of Italy, last years winner, and Kuaoir carac- ciola of Germany, were forced out i by mechanical difficulties on the seventeenth lap. Caracciola, cap- tain of the Mercedes team, had been a.

definite threat, qualifying at the faetest speed and holding the lead for aeven laps in the early running. Nuvolari got back in the race for a few turns as relief driver for his Alfa Romeo teammate, Dr. Giuseppe Tarina, who wound up in fifth place. behind Ernst Delius, Rosemeyer's mto union partner, who took fourth money. Only 12 of the 30 starters finished.

Two were flagged down and 16 were forced out with mechanical troubles Including broken axles, transmissions, oil lines and motor failures. In the money behind Fa- Irlna were Joel Thorne of New jTork, Russ Snowberger, Wilmington, Wilbur Shaw of Indianapolis, Bill Cummings, Indianapolis, and Herbert Ardinger, Glassport, jPa. The other 20 starters each rtA a $500 consolation award, Only three of the first 10 finishers drove American automobiles. They 'were gnowberger in a Burd Piston Ring Cummings in a Moore Special nd Ardinger in a Rawhide Oil special. For driving the first United States manufactured machine across the finish line, Snowberger's sev-i enth place money of $1,800 was in-'t creased $2,500 to $4,300.

Rosemeyer, who hit better than 161 M. P. down the long straight- aways in his practice runs, was out of the lead on only 14 of the 80 laps yesterday. After overcoming Caraccioia's brief lead, Rosemeyer was out in front until the 38th lap when he went to the pit and Sea- Jnan jumped ahead. An Efficient Tit Crew The remarkable efficiency of the German's "grease monkeys" was demonstrated when it requuircd but 35 seconds to change the two back tires, refuel the 400-horsepower monster, and give Rosemeyer a 5 drift! of water.

It was the only stop maae Dy the silver No. 4 car all afternoon, and it required Rosemeyer but seven laps to overtake Seaman, a 24-year-old Cambridge University graduate in his third year or championship racing. Seaman waged a bitter fight to take the lead In the last stages of the race, and at one time had cut Kosemeyers margin down to 9 9-10 econds. But a forced stop for fuel on is next to last lap ended his last hope of catching the rear-engtned auto union driver. Meiwick and Gehrig Top Major Hittert NATIONAL LEAOrE A B- s.

After losing two out of a three- me Mri to tne Qashouse Gang f. jn A the Cubg have bff early in Apr poison to Frankie Frisch's gang ever since.

They added triumphs nine and ten yesterday by winning both ends of a holiday doubleheader, 13-12 and 9-7. In the first game, which lasted four hours and nine minutes, Chicago won in the fourteenth on a single by Demaree, a sacrifice by Herman and another one-base blow by Jurges. The Cards staged a gallant rally in the night- cap, scoring five runs in the sev- ntn before Clay Bryant came to the rescue of Bill Lee who started The double win enabled the Cubs to increase their lead to two games over the New Tork Giants who divided with the Boston Bees. The league champions won the, first game, 6-2, but succumbed in the aftermath. 8-6.

The Cards' twin loss dropped the into fourth place, a halfgame beneath the Pittsburgh Pirates who stopped the Cincinnati Reds twice, 3-1 and 6-1. Weaver doled out six hits to win the first and Brandt scattered eight to take the second. BAY PARKWAYS LOSE 2, CUBANS AND ROYALS TIE The Bay Parkways dropped two games to the Springfield Greys and the Cuban Stars, and Royal Giants played a 5 to 5 ten Inning tie over the week-end at Erasmus Field. AJiome run by Ken Strong won the second game for the Greys in the eleventh inning. Big Joe Bragana who beat the New York Giants in Cuba this spring, jomed the Cubans on Saturday and was called upon by Man-Broadway Eddie Rector, yesterday.

Both twirlers pitched good ball and with better support the Cubans should have won. Going into the ninth inning, the Cubans were leading by score of 5 to 4 with two out when Jeffries doubled to right and then up came John Beckwith, that great slugger and manager of the Royals to hit for Dolly Gray. He singled to center and scored Jeffries with the tieing run. BASEBALL RECORDS JUTIOXAI, I.KAftrE Won. Lofit.

DRAWBRIDGE IS BEST BET IN THE PARKVIEW By JOSEPH MARTIN Five have been named to face the slarter in the Parkview Handicap, about six furlongs, for three-year-olds and up, which features the racing program at Empire City. Drawbridge, which finished second to Regal Lily in a stake race at Aqueduct is the best bet of the afternoon. The Wheatley Stable racer led most of the way that day only to have Regal Lily come from behind to win going away.

The Sir Gallafiad lads will have no such competition today and should win as she pleases. Jesting and Jewel Dorsett are the main contenders. Another attraction is the Briar-cliff Handicap, three-year-olds and up, mile and an eighth. Caballcro II. which put on a strong finish in his last, looks like the probable winner.

Away behind the pack going Into the stretch, the Chilean came on with a popular drive to finish a short distance behind the leaders. Should win easily here. Thorson and Thursday are expected to furn ish most of the opposition. In the seventh race, mlie and a sixteenth, three-year-olds and up, scatter cram gets the nod over Fluffy Lee. Both are in fine fettle and looks like a close finish.

But the result was the same. Hoyt lost and was charged with another defeat. In the second game of the holiday double-header with he Quakers the Dodgers were a vastly different team. They gave Fred Frankhouse the proper backing and he breezed in with his fifth victory of the cam paign. Hoyt is probably wondering wnat hs must do to turn in a win.

In thirty-seven Innings he has been given only five runs. He has allowed the opposition' only eleven earned tallies. Not bad. Still he can't win. With any kind of support Hoyt would have won his initial game under the Brooklyn colors.

But the boys weren't in the hitting mood and Waite's good pitching was wasted. As a jtter of fact, most of the Dodgers' defeats can be trace dto lack of hitting sup- post. Host of their games have been well pitched, aside from Mungo's sudden and complete blow up over at the Polo Grounds Sun day. The pitching has been high class, but the boys can't hit the op posing hurlers with any degree of consistency. It was learned to-day that Van Llngle Mungo may not be able to participate in the All-Star game to morrow.

The Brooklyn ace strained his back In Sunday's game with the New York Giants. He may be forced to take a short rest to relieve the pain. In chalking up his fifth win of the season Freddy Frankhouse twirled creditably. He scattered five hits over nine innings and had little difficulty in winning. The Dodgers came to his aid, which nust have made Hoyt envious.

They clouted the combined offerings of Kelleher and La Master for eight hits and, aided by some weird fielding by the Quakers, scored hanuily. The Dodgers will now take a rest They are not scheduled to play again until Friday, when they open a four-game series with the Giants at Ebbets Field. It will be the start of a long home stand. Eighteen games in alt will be played before the Brooks leave for the road. Some H.OOO fans sat through the twin bill.

A stormy debate has beenjn progress ever since the twenty-three players were selected by the two managers for the rival teams, It centers around William Harold Terry, pilot of the National Leaguers.

This game is really a battle of wils between Terry and the American League. Terry handpicked his squad, without seriously consulting other National League managers. Orfe manager, when asked if Terry had asked him about his opinions, replied: "Ych, I guess Terry asked me about July 5." But right or wrong Terry is out to win. if "I'm going to play this one to win it," said Terry, who failed In 1934 as pilot of the National Leaguers. "I picked the players going the best right now and I'm satisfied with my selections." The big argument over Terry's picks concerned third base, where he named Arky Vaughan, Pittsburg shortstop, instead of Pinky Whitney, of the Phils, who is batting .361, ot Stan Hack, who Is acknowledged as the best third baseman in the National League.

Slighting of several Brooklyn players also caused anguish. Even with Terry's high-powered squad and it really carried punch as well as gilt-edge pitching tlie American League managed by jde McCarthy of the Yanks, is the betting favorite. Jack Doyle quotes the American League a 7-10 favor ite. The American League has won three out of the four games played with the National League winning its first skirmish last year at Boston, 4 to 3. The probable pitching line-ups will be: National League Van Mungo, Brooklyn; Dizzy Dean, St Louis, and Carl Hubbell, New York.

American League Lefty Gomez, New York; Tommy Bridges, Detroit, and Mel Harder. The opening pitchers ire almost certain to be Mungo and Gomez. Inasmuch as each pitcher is limited to three Innings in the All-Star game; Mungo's stock is still high for the opening assignment Gomez, the Yanks' fidgety southpaw, has won the right to open for his league. He has allowed only one run In his last two games, holding the A's to one hit and blanking the Senators on five hits. Only last minute shift In the squads saw Sam West, veteran St Louis Browns' outfielder, replace Gerald Walker of Detroit, who Is injured.

The two first placa In the pennant races, the Cubs and Yanks, are likely to placa the most men on the starting nines. The Cubs probably will have) four First baseman Col lins, second baseman, Herman; shortstop, Jurges, and catcher, Hartnett; and the Tank four or Johnny Bittner was sent against the Eagles in the second game and got away to a bad start. Five runs Lwcre chalked up against him In the first Inning, four of them coming across the plate when a line drive from Dandridge's bat got away from Buddy Hall for a home run with the bases loaded. But Hall eventually won the game for the Bushwicks, although Charley Sheerin once saved the game with a miraculous catch of a long drive to right field by the powerful hitter, "Mule" Suttlos. After the first Inning Bittner pitched good ball, and Jim Duffy who took his place when Johnny was taken out for a relief pitcher also kept the Eagles away from the plate, Hall hit a home run over the right field fence In the fifth with Joe Lensalata on first.

But the score stood 6 to 2 In the ninth inning with two men out when Al Reisa drew a. pass. Then singles by Gene Rodgers and Al Moore and Solly Mishkin's double downs the right field foul line tied up the score and sent he game into extra innings. In the Bushwicks' half of the tenth, with two out, Sheerin walked and Hall doubled to right to win the game. The Eagles won both of their games from the Black Yankees yes terday at Dexter Park, each game by the same score to 3.
