Scores With Counsel At North Randall. Dunbar Bostwick, Polo In Sulky As Boyne Cops In Straight Heats. BY TOM GAHAGEN. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE KNyUlRKH. North Randall Race Track, Ohio, July 6 The Urbana reinsman, pec Parshall, who won the Rainy Day' Stake yesterday with Feter Astra," came back today to pilot the wlii--' ner of the three-year- old pacing division of the Championship Stat lion Stake, feature of the five-race'' Grand Circuit program.

Dell Frisco, The-Widower, and Arletan were the-principal opponents, but none of. them could make the black colt extend himself to the limit.

Keltner came, to Cleveland from the Milwaukee American Association club.

Just lii Case Of Fire Moaning Over Play Of Dodgers Lombardi Loses 14 Pounds Working Entire Game. Bobby Feller, Cleveland's sophomore star, was not disappointed that he didn't get a chance to hurl against the National loop's best. "There's plenty of time for me to get into one of these games," Bob said. "Anyway, I wouldn't have been much good. I've got a blister on my hand and can't throw a curve, and as soon as those fellows found out I didn't have a curve, they'd have started teeing off on me." Feller confined his activities to a few warm-up pitches in the bullpen late in the game when it looked as if the Americans might get back in the game.

A brief summary of the game might be: Reds crash back into the win column. Four of them Vander Meer, McCormick, Lom-bardi, and Goodman played a prominent part in the win. Larry MacPhail, general manager of the Babe Ruth and the Daffy Dodgers still was moaning about the Firecracker Day double-header his boys dropped to the Giants. "I'll have Manager Grimes out there pitching if things get any worse. And I'm not fooling when I may use Coach Jess Haines." PLENTY OX BALL.

Vander Meer probably felt funny, taking a shower with a one-hit shutout under his belt. But the All-Star rules read that a pitcher can't work more than three rounds. The Dutch lad had plenty on the ball yesterday. Along with that his control was perfect Ernie Lombardi was the first National Leaguer to hit a practice pitch over the left-field wall, and Mel Ott lifted his third serve into the right-field bleachers It was hot enough to fry an egg on home plate, but cooler and more practical eating baked ham and sipping suds under a tent on the roof of the stands Jimmy Foxx entertained the early arrivals by clouting several practice pitches over the roof of the laundry building on the far side of York Street. P.

S. Slugger Jim's only hit during the game was a scratch hit in the sixth off Durocher's glove Proving once again that two-o'clock hitting means nothing. Joe McCarthy thought up something nice and original to say to Bill Terry for the sound cameras. "Hello, Bill," he said. I'm glad you didn't bring your pipe with you." VANDER MEER NATURALLY.

Who attracted the most autograph-seekers after the game? Your first guess is the right one Vander Meer. It required the Dutchman 20 minutes to get to his automobile. One young lady made her escort shudder in the baseball hotel lobby yesterday morning. "Who," she asked, as she looked over a million dollars worth of diamond stars, "are all these men the Woodsmen of the World?" Lombardi said he lost 14 pounds working the entire game behind the plate. Said he would get six or eight of it back by putting away a big: steak along with a few steins of nmber fluid.

Terry kept. King Carl Hubbell in the bull pen from the third round on just in case of fire. But the American Leaguers didn't show any signs of getting hot until the ninth, when great catches by Med-wick and Goodman cooled them off again. Rudy York, slugging catcher of the Detroit Tigers, had a chance to blow up the works in the seventh, when he swung for Allen with the bases loaded. But he fizzed out by swinging at a bad ball for the third strike a low, outside curve after carrying Brown to a three-two count.

ALL CLUBS IDLE. No action in either the National fir Ampi'irnn T.pno-ita tnrtnu All return to work tomorrow, with our boys opening a three-game series with the Cubs at Chicago. Among the visiting baseball enthusiasts at the All-Star game was J. W. Bacon of Paris, who is acquainted with the player in yesterday's game, most, of whom he met during his annual winter sojourns in Florida, A faithful rooter for the Reds, "Gee" Bacon, as he is more familiarly known to baseball fans and others, declared yesterday that his gratification in McKechnie's coming to pilot the Cincinnati team was doubled with the coming of Coach Goudy.

Mr. Bacon has attended the last 24 World Series games. He is not unwilling to be reminded of the pennants won by Paris during the four years when he was President of the Blue Grass League. Patrolman Walter Davis, 32 years eld, was directing All-Star ball game traffic at York Street and Western Avenue, when he was hit by a streetcar operated by Rush Gates, 1306 Morten Street. He was treated at General Hospital for a sprained right wrist and a bruised right thigh.

Red Cronin, chief usher at the field, had his force of 64 ushers on their toes and the big crowd had no trouble in getting into their seats. Onf of the visitors to the game was Boh Emslie. Remember some JO years and more ago when the Winner Is Credited To Fireball Johnny. Junior Loop's Work Wobbly On Defense. Team Making Four Errors.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. Brown and the almost 100 per cent pro National League gathering from a few embarrassing moments. Medwick brought big crowd to its feet in the ninth when he sprinted to the scoreboard in left center field to make a leaping, one-handed, back-to-the-stands catch of Bill Dickey's bid for a triple. A minute later Goodman went scooting back onto the terrace in front of the bleachers to flag Columbia Lou Gehrig's liner after Joe Cronin had smashed a double to left center field to score Joe DiMaggio from first with the only American League tally. ALLEN GOES TO HILL.

Manager Joe McCarthy of the American Leaguers also used three hurlers. Lefty Gomez worked the first three rounds and was touched for an unearned run in the opening heat. The goofy one was tagged for two hits before he gave way to Johnny Allen, temperamental righthander of the Cleveland Indians, in the fourth. Mel Ott's triple and Lombardi's single, allowed the National Leaguers to score an earned run off the fire-balling Allen in the fourth before he settled down to hold them hitless until Lefty Bob Grove took over in the seventh. The National Leaguers immediately pounced on the veteran Red Sox portsider for their final two runs, both of which were unearned, because of wild throws by Jimmy Foxx and Joe DiMaggio.

It was a good game, not necessarily the most exciting, but the most vigorously contested of all the All-Star games because of the many slurs cast at the National Leaguers in various sports magazines the past year. BOTH OUT TO WIN. There was no effort made by either manager to get all the players on his squad into the game for appearance sake. Both managers were out to win. Terry started with McCormick, Herman, Hack and Durocher on his inner defense and Modwick, Ott and Goodman patrolling the outfield, and Lombardi behind the bat.

And that's the way he finished. He didn't make a single change except in pitchers, and Hank Leiber was the only pinch hitter he used. Hank swung for Vander Meer in the third. McCarthy made only two changes outside of his battery. Gehrig swung for Buddy Lewis, who started at the hot corner, in the fifth, and then replaced Jimmy Foxx at first with the Red.

Sox slugger moving to third. So it was a hectic battle all the way, even though the National Leaguers showed their superiority throughout. CLEAR, HOT DAY. It was a clear, hot day. Flags hung from the stands, as a band played.

Photographers swarmed like flies on the field, taking pictures of famous athletes, and the autograph pests had a big day. Ten minutes before the game the field was cleared for action. There was no flag raising, no speech making by political-minded spellbinders or throwing out of the first ball. Everything was concentrated toward making it a great ball game. And it was all of that.

Cincinnati's own Vander Meer bowled over the American Leaguers with the greatest of ease in the opening round. Mel Ott, after momentarily misjudging Mike Kree-vlch's drive, made a fine catch of it on the terrace In deep right centerfield. The Dutchman personally tossed out Charley Gehringer, and Biily Herman followed by tossing out Earl Averlll, leading hitter in the majors. But it was a different story for our National Leaguers. They drew first blood by scoring once, thanks to a boot by Joe Cronin of Billy Herman's hit-and-run bounder.

HACK CLOUTS SINGLE. Stanley Hack rifled El Goofy Gomez's fourth serve into left for a single, and moved around to third on Cronin's fumble. Ival Goodman, Redleg home-run king, took the third strike. But Medwick scored Hack with a long liner to Averill. Mell Ott skied out to center.

It was all Vandy again in the second. The flre-balllng Dutchman roda right through the heart of the high-powered American League batting order with the greatest of ease. After Joe Medwlck lost Jimmy Foxx's towering foul in the sun in the left-field corner, the Redleg ace set the broad-shouldered home- run king of the junior loop down on strikes. Double swung hard at his third strike amid a deafening road of applause from the almost 100 per cent pro-National League gathering, Joe DiMaggio also was easy, Vandy taking two steps off the mound for the Yankee slugger's bounder and tossing him out easily. Billy Herman whipped Bill Dickey out from back on the grass near second base.

GO OUT IN ORDER. Gomez also retired the National Leaguers in order. Buddy Lewis knocked down Lombardi's hot smash and tossed out Schnoz easily. Frank McCormick, freshman first-Backer of our Reds, popped out to Gehringer, and Cronin tossed out Lippy Leo Durocher. Joe Cronin, manager of the Red Sox, was the first and only American Leaguer to reach first safsly off Vandy.

Square-jawed Joe opened the third with a line single down the left-field line. But that's as far as he got, as Vandy bore Approximately 383,000 words were poured out of Cincinnati over the telegraph wires in two days to tell the world about the All-Star Game, and Cincinnati, statisticians for the telegraph companies estimated last night. Figuring 60,000 words as the length of the average modern novel, that would be equivalent roughly of six and one-third books. On the sending end of the wires were gentlemen occupying some 230 press seats at the park, but these included telegraphers, scorekeepers, and others. There probably were considerably less than 100 writers although W.

B. Wingo, Western Union Superintendent in Cincinnati, said there were more than 100 separate stories from the ball park yesterday. Exactly how many papers and cities were on the receiving ends of those wires nobody could guess down to retire Buddy Lewis, Gomez. and Kreevich on easy chances. Billy Herman pumped a single into left for the National Leaguers' second hit in the third, after Hank Leiber, who swung for Vandy hoisted to Kreevich, and Hack bounded out to Gehringer.

But Billy was left stranded as our Mr. Goodman fouled to Dickey. WALKS GEHRINGER. General Bill Lee, towering Cub right-hander, took over the chucking duties for the National Leaguers in the fourth. Bill got off to a jittery start, walking Gehringer on five pitched balls.

But he settled down after that. Medwick gathered in Averill's lofter, and after Foxx forced Gehringer at second, the great DiMaggio took the third strike amid another deafening roar of applause. The pitch broke right over the heart of the plate, and Spaghetti Joe merely smiled, dropped his bat and started trotting for his right field post. Little Mel Ott and big Schnoz Lombardi teamed up to put the National Leaguers two up in the fourth, at the expense of Johnny Allen, temperamental right-handed ace of the Cleveland After Medwick popped' out to Foxx, the mighty atom of the Giants blasted a long triple off the bleacher screen in the extreme right centerfield corner, alongside of the 387-foot mark. Lombardi promptly scored him with a line single to left.

McCormick then bounded out to second, and Durocher went down swinging. DUROCHER LOSES BALL. The American Leaguers' hopes soared in the fifth when Dickey opened with a fluke double that Durocher lost in the glaring sun back of third. But Lee promptly put the chill on their hopes by retiring the next three sluggers in order. Cronin hoisted to Ott.

Columbia Lou Gehrig, swinging for Buddy Lewis, bounded out sharply to Herman, and Hack made a great stop of Allen's hot smash and a fine throw to retire the side. Our National Leaguers threatened again in the sixth after Lee retired Pinch Hitter Roger Cramer and Gehringer on easy infield bounders and then whistled the third strike past Averill to end his three-round trick. Goodman reached first safely to open the National half when one of Allen's fire-balls just grazed his back. There was a slight argument over whether Goody had been hit or not, but Umpire Harry Geisel waved the Redleg gardener to first. GOODY STEALS SECOND.

After Medwlck filed to right. Goody stole second and continued to third when Dickey threw wildly into center field. But neither Ott or Lombardi could score him. Mel went down on strikes, and Schnoz bounded out sharply to short. Mace Brown, relief pitcher par excellence of the Pirates, went to the firing line for Manager Terry's boys in the seventh.

And for a few fleeting minutes things looked very dark for the Nationals. Foxx greeted the tow-headed Mace with a single off Durocher's glove back of second. DiMaggio forced the Red Sox slugger, and after Dickey popped out, Cronin walked, and Gehrig beat out a single to deep Bhort to load the bases. The crowd groaned as the giant Rudy York, slugging catcher 'of the Detroit Tigers, strode to the dish to swing for Allen. Rudy, hailed in many quarters as the ultimate successor to Babe Ruth's home-run throne, has a reputation for hitting four-baggers with the bricks loaded, On fojr previous occasions this season he homered for the Bengals with all stations occupied.

THREK-TWO COUNT. Almost to a person the crowd knew this. And deathlike silence reigned as York carried Brown to a three-two count. Then, with all the runners In motion, Rudy took a mighty cut at a low outside curve and hit nothing but the sultry breezes. Bedlam broke loose in the stands and the crowd cheered the tow-headed Brown to tne echo as he smilingly ambled into the dugout.

Lefty Grove, veteran thlrty-nlne-year-old ace of the Red Sox took the mound for the junior leaguers in the seventh, and the National Leaguers promptly "iced" things by scoring twice on singles by Frank McCormick and Durocher, and colossal wild throws by Jimmy Foxx and Joe Dl Magglo. McCormick greeted Grove with a smashing single to center, Durocher" beet out an attempted sacrifice between the mound and third base, and when Foxx, who went to third In the fifth, after Gehrig batted for Lewis in the same threw headquarters last night, 55,000 to 60,000, and stories, 80. The 'wordage yesterday, he said, was a sharp increase from that of last year and the largest ever handled on the game. jruztiai i cicgi iJii, which bciii Tl 1 rr. i l.

Butler, City Superintendent. wildly past first, the ball caroming into the right field bull pen, McCormick scored and Lippy Lew streaked to third, where he hesi tated a second and then continued home when Di Maggio threw into the National League dugout. Old Mose then settled down to set Brown, Hack, and Herman down in succession on called strikes.

The only real power the highly touted American Leaguers displayed all afternoon came in the ninth, when they scored once on a single and double to save themselves the stigma of -being goose-egged by their supposed-to-be weaker rivals. DiMaggio Singles. DiMaggio opened the final round with a single down the left-field line. It was his first safety of the afternoon and the only time he hit the ball out of the infield. Dickey caught hold of a letter-high fast ball and sent it sailing toward the scoreboard.

It looked like a sure double or triple. But Medwick, off with the crack of the bat, made a sensational diving, one-handed, back-to-the stands catch of the drive. It was the outstanding defensive play of the game. From the press box it appeared as if Ducky-Wucky had allowed the ball to squirt out of his hand as he crashed hard to the ground. But he quickly dissipated this fear by sticking up his gloved hand and proudly displaying to the umpires that the ball was still stuck in the webbing of his glove.

It was a lifesaver, as Cronin promptly followed with a double to the left centerfield corner of th3 scoreboard to score Goodman then weighed in with a fine running catch of Gehrig's liner on the terrace in front of the bleachers. Brown then settled down to streak the third strike past Pinch-hitter Bob Johnson to clinch victory, and prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the National League still is an important part of the majors. He's Wicked, Tribute Of DiMaggio To Varidy; Sluggers Laud Red Ace CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. thrown his teammates, low ones, and did they break? They did. Plenty.

"There's Just one thing," and DiMaggio lowered his voice. as if that would keep from putting a jinx on the Dutchman by a mention of the thing that caught up with Bob Feller and many another. "I hope he doesn't get a -sore arm." "Marse Joe" McCarthy, the American League's manager, meditated in little more than a sweat shirt a few feet down the aisle and wound up with no alibi whatever. "We had our chances and we didn't do anything," he explained, none too cheerfully. "The other club won.

Let them have the credit." "We got our hits in batting practice," put in Jimmy Foxx, across the way. Foxx himself had amazed early arrivals by belting one over the high sign atop the laundry in practice. He was another of the all-time all-star sluggers to sing the praises of the National League's new star. "Vander Meer has got as much os anybody pitching," he said. And from Joe Cronin, hard-hitting shortstop and manager of Foxx and the rest of Tom Yawkcy's Boston Red Sox: "He's a credit to baseball.

A great help to the National League, It's a great thing for baseball to have such young players come along as Bob Feller and Vander Meer. And he's gflt as much stuff as anybody." There wasn't much noise in the dressing room, but Larrupin Lou Gehrig, who's been in all of them, said there never is much after the All-Star games, win or lose. They don't know each other any too well being enemies five months out of the year and allies only the one day. Gehrig didn't bat against the Dutchman, but he offered his ex planation of the Nationals' victory, "They had the better club today, It was what Rudy York thought about that ball that Rudy York swung on. Anybody can strike out, of course, but the home-run-hitting Detroit catcher is less likely to do it than most, and when he whiffs on three-two ball with the bases loaded two out, and the junior league two runs behind, it can be presumed that there is some public curiosity as to what kind of a ball It was.

"It was a sinker," he said, smiling Instead of swinging. "What is more it was a bad ball." the game immensely, while The Judge, however, must was viewing a horse race sons who turned out together were Mayor James G. Stewart and son Zcph. Another such pair was com posed of the Right Rev. Henry Wise Hobson, Bishop of Southern Ohio, and son Henry Wise, Jr.

With Maurice Pollak there was not only son James E. but daughter Mrs. Richard Stix. Max Carey, the former great center fielder of the Pittsburgh Pirates, found time during the game to lament with an old friend the passing of a once widely known Redleg rooter, Al the Milkman. Carey, son of a Lutheran preacher, attended a Lutheran college.

Al, equipped with a cow bell and a seat in the bleachers, used to give Carey the works every time he played in Cincinnati with, his cry, "Pray, Preacher, pray!" Judge William H. Lueders, veteran of Probate Court, sat with Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Williams.

The big game brought Joe Fox, widely known partner in downtown cafes, out of his apartment at the St. Leger where illness has kept him for nine months. Redmond deserted the paint business long enough to see that Mrs. Red mond saw the game. For the last half of the contest the Amerioan infield looked like a delegation from the old folks' manor.

Some one figured that the combined ages of Jimmie Foxx, Joe Cronin, Charley Gehringer, and Lou Gehrig would read like the box office report. Bill Terry's strategy in assigning Stan Hack to third base, with Mel Ott moving to center, paid defense dividends. The Chicago third sacker was a stone wall. He stopped potential base hits off the bats of Johnny Allen in the fifth and Roger Cramer, in the eighth. His teammate, Billy Herman, robbed Lou Gehrig of a hit with a great running scoop of Lou's grass cutter, back of first, in the fifth.

Two students from the University of Dubuque, Dubuque, Iowa, hitchhiked their way to today's All-Star game "just to see Bob Feller pitch," they said as they took bleacher seats at Crosley Field. The two were Joe Ujlaky and Chuck Miller. Five boys from Rupert, Idaho, claimed the hitch-hiking "record" for the game, saying they left home a week ago, and that it cost "about $4 apiece to get here." They were Ed Krupa, Frank Simkus, Ray Tlrell, John SveU, and Wesley Brown. ROYALTY IS REPRESENTED At Suzanne Lenglen's Funeral Many Dignitaries Attend. Paris, July 6 (AP) Representatives of royalty and the French Government and famous figures of sports attended the funeral today of Suzanne Lenglcn, former queen of the tennis world who died Monday.

She was buried In the Lenglen family plot in Saint-Ouen Cemetery. King Gustav of Sweden, the eighty-year-old tennis enthusiast, sent the Swedish Minister to represent him, and the funeral took on the aspect of a state ceremony, with representatives of Premier Edouard Daladier and various government departments present, Such famous tennis players as Jean Borotra, Jacqurji Brugnon, Bernard Dcstremeau.and Christian Boussus were among the many who attended at. Notre Damn de L'As- somption Church and followed the casket to the cemetery, where Borotra delivered a funeral oration. Rupsell Kingman, Treasurer, rep resented the United States Lawn Tennis Association. Crowds of the tennis queen's admirers assembled at the church and along the route of the cortege.

Thirty young students of the tennis school which Mile. Lenglen directed attended. Floral offerings from tennis clubs and individuals in all parts of the world filled three automobiles. Mile. Lenglen, who ruled women's tennis from the end of the World War until she turned professional in 1926, succumbed to pernicious anemia at the age of 39.

Hank has long since gone to his reward, but Emslie, now SO years old, still likes to get around and see a ball game.

He was pensioned several years ago by the National League. Clark Griffith came back to the city for the game. Of course, Griff has been here at other times since he left here in 1911 to take charge of the Washington Club. Jack Hendricks was another former Red manager who came for the contest. Visiting baseball scribes to the number of some 250 were royally entertained by the Cincinnati Baseball club.

The Pavilion Caprice in the Netherland was chosen for headquarters, wires installed and in addition to doing their work there, other things were provided. Bill Cleary and his able partner, Junior Sweeney, were in charge of the door which was proof that it was hard to crash. At least no "One-eyed Connellys got in even thoucsh there were others besides members of the press on handlunu The baseball fund for indigent ball players for which the AU-Star game is played, was increased by a tidy sum. The net proceeds of the game, that is after the government and state taxes were paid was and 27,067 persons paid this amount. This shows that the average' seat for the game cost $1.42.

There were 4,200 bleacher seats sold and from the press box it looked as though there were many vacant seats, but the park officials explained that on big days they will put 4,500 in the bleachers but they are well crowded when they do. The four-member family of Campbell County Commissioner Floyd Gannon saw the game from two seats, Floyd, 12, sat on his daddy's lap, and Mrs. Gannon held Tommy, 10. Baseball big shots in seats along the first base line included Tom Yawkey, owner of the Boston Red Sox, and his club's Vice-President, Eddie Collins. A few scats away were William Benswanger, Presi- dent of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Sid Weil, former President of the Reds.

Jack Hurst, President, of Central Labor Council, couldn't, he bothered watching the players practice. He sat beside Mrs. Hurst reading his newspaper until the game began. Jim Renick, head of the Ohio State University athletic department news bureau, and Henry Taylor, football ticket manager, came 'down for tHe game from Columbus. The way the Americans handled Durocher's bunt in the seventh it looked as though the Brooklyns were the visiting team at the ball park.

The Game' I Lombardi followed with a single to left. When Ott touched home it put the Nationals two runs to the good. Some of the American League rooters were starting to holler for their admission money back when the Junior League "powerhouse" shoved one measley run across the platter. And, they are the athletes that are supposed to have the heavy hitting copyrighted. Cronin played a good game for the Americans at the plate, but he seemed to have trouble figuring out which league he was representing in the shortstop position.

His error of Herman's grounder paved the way for the Nationals' run in the opening stanza. Lombardi said that the Americans hit, or rather hit at, fast-ball pitching when Vander Meer and Brown were laboring, and were baffled by a curve while Lee was on the mound. Lefty Grove turned on the heat in the seventh after the Nationals had scored twice, to strike out Mace Brown, Stanley Hack, and Billy Herman. The comparative silence of the big crowd was amazing to persons accustomed to seeing a red hot and noisy partisan of the Reds in nearly every seat. The crowd gave its biggest ovation to Mace Brown, the Pittsburgh pitcher who fanned Rudy York with the bases loaded in the seventh.

A close rival, however, was the cheer sent up when John Vander Meer left the mound at the end of the third, having yielded a lone hit in his tour of duty. Score, 1 to 0.
