POWER OF THE BAT DISPELLED IN STAR TILT Good Defense, Smart Pitching Spoils Legend Os Junior Loop Power Cincinnati, July 7— (U.R) —The, ruling factor in baseball is no long- ( er the mighty Mace It cannot bo said now that power prevails over' all. There is more to Abner Doubleday's game than brute slug gfng. With a stout defense and smart pitching the National league! emerged from the shadows of defeat and subjugation and, at least until world series time, does not have to take the taunts of the American league concerning its superiority. With yesterday’s 4-1 triumph in the sixth all-star game, the National league proved the j soundness of defense and pitching ■ —proved it over all the power the |

: American league could muster. The crumbling defense of the greatest stars of the American league resulted In the second | National league triumph In six alli star games. Superlative pitching i by three National leaguers appearing in their first all-star game: I Johnny Vander Meer. Bill Lee and j Mace Brown, nailed down the senior circuit's triumph over the ■ American league's most brutal j sluggers. I The result emphasized once again in the white heat of competition I that there is no substitute for superior pitching. Vander Meer, the Reds' kid southpaw who emerged from the game as one of the major league's brightest heroes, whittled i down the American league giants Ito pigmy size. Bill Lee, Cubs' I i lght-hander. fast-balled the siege ; guns of the junior circuit to death, 1 and Mace Brown, Pittsburgh's , curve ball expert, made the famed ■ sluggers of the other league fold up in the clutches The National league's triumph was aided by American league blunders. Four errors, three of them vital, dumped three runs Into the laps of the hustling National i leaguers. ! The National league won the I game in typical National league style. They won it with pitching. i with defense, with smartness and with hustle. In the junior league | they forget finesse and style and j knock your brains out. But smart ' pitching is still the antidote for j slugging. The American league had its I alibis. If Shortstop Joe Cronin I hadn't let Billy Herman's roller go i between his legs in the first inI ning; if Jimmy Foxx hadn't thrown wild past first in the seventh; if Joe Di Maggio hadn't heaved the ball over Catcher Bill Dickey's head —if those things hadn't happened it might have been a 1-1 tie because each side made one earned run. But when you mention the superb hurling of Vander Meer, Bill Lee and Mace Brown, the American leaguers have no answer. The game was played before 27,067 highly-partisan home town fans. Vander Meer cooly and methodically pitched the American leag uers into a whisper in the first three innings. He used only 31 pitches, didn’t walk a man, allowed only one single and fanned the American league's foremost slugger, Jimmy Foxx, swinging from the boot-straps. Bill Terry, National league manager. was criticized in some quarters for being so bold as to start Vander Meer, the first rookie ever to draw the all-star starting assignment. But Vander Meer made a wise man out of Terry.
