National Wins All Star Tilt By 7-1 Score Two Chicago Cubs Bat Nationals To One-Sided Victory Pittsburgh. July 11—(UP)—The bottom half of the National league had proved too tough today for the top half of the American league and the senior circuit boasted it* ino.it impressive all-star game triumph in the 13 year history ot baseirall’s mid-summer world aeries. For It was Phil Cavaretta and big Rill Nicholson, whose Chicago Cuba are burled deep in seventh place in the National league pennant race, who led an assault that blasted a three year American b-ague victory streak by a 7 to 1 score and gave the Nats their fourth triumph of the series. The victim of their murderous hitting before a sweltering crowd of 29,589 at Forbes Field last night was none other than Tex Hughson ' of the Boston Red Sox. Big Tex had won 14 against only three losses In the American league pennant chase thia year, but that made lit■■■■■■■■■■S*. .awoMSWmiMawsMrere

tie difference to the two Chicago clouters and their National league team mates. They hopped on the Texas tossar from the second place 80-Sox in the fifth inning and before they batted around the lineup they had touched him for five hits ami four runs that made ulietar history. It was the biggest inning the Nats ever had iu 12 games against the Americans, and it blew the ball game wide open. Hank Borowy of the Yankees and Bucky Wallers of the Cincinnati Reds opened on the mound and for a while it wan a tight ball game liorowy gave up three hits in hi* three inning tenure and Walters, although he gave five hits, allowed the Americans only one run. That came in the second Inning when Ken Kilt tier of Cleveland singled ami advanced to third on two Infleld outs. Borowy then bounced a single through the middle to score Kellner with the lone American tally. Hughson took over for the American* in the fourth, and set down the Nats in short order. But then came the fifth, and disaster. Con-. nie Ryan greeted him with u single and stole second as .Marlon fann<<d. j Then came Nicholson with his heavy bat and big Bill blasted out, a screeching double that sent Ryan i home with the tying run. Augie Galan came through with a single! to score Nicholson with what proved to be the clincher. Cavarretta — who had a busy I night with a triple, a single and | three walks got a pass to first.

Stan Munial bounced to Bobby Doerr at second, but first baseman George McQnlnil dropped the toaa and the bases were full. Walker Cooper then singled to left, scoring Galan, and Cavarretta tried to make It home only to be trapped at the plate by Bob Johnson's toss to llayeM. .Miiafal meanwhile moved to third and came home on Dixie Walker's single. The National leaguers still weren't satisfied and they pushed two more across in the seventh. Hal Newhouser of Detroit went in to pitch and they proceeded to belt him around. Again it was Cavarretta. with a single to center. Muslal sacrificed him to second and Phil wenj to third when Cooper beat out an Infield hit. Walker went out one a fly but Whitey Kurowskl slummed a double that scored both Cavarretta and Cooper. And in the eighth they really put l |lt on ice with one more. Marion \ funned but reached first when Frankie Hayes missed the ball. Ducky Medwlck sacrificed him to second and Galan and Cavarretta—again both walked to fill the bases. .Mus‘-I lined to Johnson. Muiion scoring after the catch, and that was the ball game. The Americans used fire hurlers, Borowy, Hughson. Bob Muncrief Hal Newhouaer and Bobo Newsom, and they gave up 12 hits. The Nats used four. Walters, Ken Raffensberger. Rip Sewell and Jim Tobin, with Raffensberger getting credit for the win in his first all-star start. The foursome gave the Americana only six bits. As losing manager Joe McCarthy summed it up: "They out-pitched us. out hit us

For the past 104 yeas baseball : iH-rformers have b«e n bronzed t young men who were as intimate i i with old sol as sundials. But the j die ha* been cast to cause an aboutface in complexions on the diamond. and to bring about other changes jH-rhaps in the trapping of our national pastime, That historic proclamation at Pittsburgh yesterday. In effect, , changed baseball from an afternoon sport to a night time dlvertteaement. It disclosed that all major league dub* will be permit!I ed to play their remaining weekday games at night during the current campaign. Only Sundays were salvaged for < the sun. Despite the opinion* of some reactionarles —like Ed Barrow. Bill I Benswanger, Horace Stoneham and Branch Rickey--that this "unlimited’’ night ball poaitively cannot prevail In peacetime, you can bet , yirttr last frogskin on the likelihood that there will be no back tracking, now that the door* have been thrown wide open and the lads j have rushed pell-mell out Into the moonlight. Particularly after they ( become convinced that the lunar! ( rays grow more box office cabbage, at all times, than the warmer slant* of the sun. Since night bail was introduced into the majors by Larry Mat Phail at Cincinnati in 1935, It has muscl- t ed in considerably upon the day a i game - gradually at first against ro- I bust opposition, but with surprising t speed later under wartime condition*. Eleven of the 16 maßir league «lulm have Joined the night parade; and the other five—Yankees, Tigers, Red Sox, Braves and Cub* < doubtless will fall into line as soon a* they can obtain lighting 1 equipment.

when sponsored by millionaires; and It is beconring increasingly difficult for the most ardent daytime advocate to Ignore night-time dollars. Although we prefer to watch ball games on sunny afternoons. It Is our perwonal opinion that "unlimited" night ball is here to stay. Moreover, we will predict that when the major league squads begin heading south again for spring training, most of their exhibition games will lie [flayed at night to attract larger crowds. One must remember that spring training treks are cummerckil venture* also. Hence, even in training, hall players ot the future will see little of the *un. With baseball definitely going under the lights, we can foresee another innovation — the ball park cabaret, the diamond night club—which will provide an added attraction for the guys and gals who may wtah to spell off a couple of dull J inning* with a refreshing rhumba, or celebrate the home team's victory with a hotcha conga line. In the Polo Ground* cocktail lounge, for example, one of the distaff fans in evening grown might inquire of her tuxedoed escort: “Who is that pallid, black-haired chap over there, dancing with the blonde?" And the escort might say, "Why —that's Pepper Pinkham, the Cardinals' shortstop." “Oh I do wish he was on our team; he's so cute and he tangoes so divinely."

Stale GOP Changes Party Procedure Change Selection Os Committeemen Indiana polls. July 12 --(UP) — The Republican state committee today had amended Its by-laws to shirt the method ot electing national GOP committee memlr ra from the national convention delegates to the state committee. The change, effective in 1949. ’ was prompted by th election of ' Indianapolis chain store attorney . Roliert W. Lyons as national com- , mliteeman at a meeting of national convention delegates at the j close of the parly's stale conven--1 tion June 2. Lyons unseated Ernest W. MorI ris of South Bend in the surprise I session, but he later resigned ■ under pressure and Morris aubsequeiitly was re-elected. Although the national convention delegates traditionally held the authority to elect the national committee members, it was the custom to hold the election on the eve of the national convention. Two other rules were adopted by the'state committee. One authorized the state committee to select, recount!* nd and place in nomination at the state convention the names of delegates at large and alternates to the national convention. , The other authoriz'd the national convention delegates to select convention committee members at a meeting called with not ' less than five days notice. Btate OOP chairman John >l. ; Lauer issued a statement after the, meeting yesterday which expressed the committee's reaction to the announcement earlier In the day by President Rooseveh that he would accept a fourth term. "Prealdent Roosevelt's announcement today that he will run for a fourth term comes as no surprise. Everyone In America has had reason to believe that he would be a candidate for a fourth term. His announcement of his willingness to be drafted clears the atmosphere," Lauer said. "The Issue in the 1944 compalgn is whether the people of America want to continue the policies of the new deal, which led to slate socialism, or whether they will ' return to constitutional government under a Republican admin1 Istratlon.'* Dates for district campaign ' organization meetings were set in eight of the 11 Indiana districts: first district, July 26; second. July 31; third. July 27: fourth. July 24; sixth. Aug. 1; ninth, Aug. 10; tenth, July 28; eleventh Aug. a. Urge Indiana Plan Education Program Indianapolis. July 12 — (UP) — State superintendent of public Instruction Clement T Malan urged today that Indiana plan its educational program 10 to 15 years ahead to meet conditions a (taring from a atewdlly increasing birth, rate. He said that the state’s birth rate ha i been inc. easing in 19.19 and that eventually more teachers, buildings. buses and supplies would be needed Malan particularly pointed out the need for training teachers.
