American All Stan Wallop National, 12-0 Booton. July 10. (UP) Humll tat ion huntt heavily today upon the oace proud National league. Never before In the I3year history of the all-star game, nor in the 4a years that the world aeries hue been played, ha* one of the major teagure so completely dominated the other When the American League routed the National. 12 to <l. yesterday before 34.80* fan* at Fenway Park. It was the most onesided shutout in the 244 world aerie* games and the 13 all-star contests that have l>een played In the history of re lai lon* between the two major circuits Only once before, tn the 1934 world aeries when the New York Yankees drubbed the New York Giants 1* to 4 in the second game, has there ever been a bigger margin Io Inter league relations. And what made yesterday's thiee hlt blanking of the Nationals all the more embarrassing was the fact that In the final Innings victory was conceded. Pilcher Triielt (Hip) Bewell of Pittsburgh, who has developed a freak delivery which be calls the "blooper ball," used it consistently against the American league r* in the eighth Inning and tney lagged him for four solid hits, including Ted Williams' second home run of the game. Sewell's pilch, which arches 20 or more feet into the air before descending upon the bailer at home plate. Is one which he used on the rarest of occasions as a change of pace delivery which footed batters expecting fast balls or curves. Hut terrific Ted. the king pin of the Rai Sox sluggers, knew what to expect Since Sewell w.is throwing it almost exclusively. He stepped into the ball and drop|>ed it into the outstretched hands of the bleacherites, who had confidently expected him Io pill II there. Sewell had an answ»r for why be used the " bloopers,'' which seemed to reflect more than anything else what happened to the Nationals. "I figured I had nothing to lose," he said afterwards. "Williams was bitting everything else in reach, so I figured I’d give him a shot at that one ’* And that was just about the

truth Thumping Theodore smash »-d two homers and two singles and drew a walk, driving In five runs for his busy afternoon. But While the Boston larpper captured hitting honors, he had to share the spotlight witn the three American league pitchers, bullet Bob Feller of Cleveland. la-fly Hal Newliou«er of Detroit, and hand some- Jack Kramer of the Browns, who collectively gave up fewer hits than any team ever has garner cd In a previous allstxr effort. Feller started and gave up only two singles, one to Johnny Hopp of the- Braves and one to Walker Cooper of the Giants That harked like a topflight performance until Newhouser came along and worked the next three Innings, giving up only a one baser to Harry (Feu t.uts) l-owrey of the- Cubs. Then along came Kram»r, who gut into the game only when Fpud Chand ler of the Yankees begged off, and he topped both of the others, giving up no hila In his tour of duty. The "strong man" In the American Leaguo act, Charley Keller of the Yankees, provided a 2 to 0 lead In the first inning when he smashed a homer Into the right field bleachers about 4"" feel away, scoring Williams, who had walked ahead of him. The victim of the blow was Claude Passeau of the Culac. the National la-ague starter, who was in little trouble thereafter. But Kirby Hlgbe of Brooklyn, who took over in the* fourth, was in hot wafer as soon as he took the mound. Williams belted a high hard pitch for his first homer in the fourth, and in the fifth singles by Buddy Rosar of the Athletics) and Newhouser, a walk to Stan Spence of the* Senators, a two-run double by Vern Stephens of the Browns, and a single by Williams gave the Americans three tallies Rookie Ewell Blackwell of the Reds yielded the next two in the seventh when Joe Gordon of the Yankee* doubled to score William* and Keller. Then came the eighth and Sewell's noble expc riment with his "blooper." Before Williams del'vered his antl-cllmactic smash, George Stint-w<-ius of the Yankees, Kramer, and Stephens singled to produce one run and Williams put over three more with his homer, stepping Into the pitch and smashing the ball high and deep into the bleachers. It was the* ninth American la-a-gue victory against four for the Nationals. The most onesided game before yesterday's was the last one. played in Pittsburgh in 1*44 with the Nationals 7 to 1 victors. The Americans had to wait two years to square accounts since t,he 194 S game was called off la-cause of wartime* transportation difficulties. They more than made up for the delay yesterday. o Trade In a Good Town — Decatur

Despite the lack of backfield tal'-nt, .McMillin may yet have the midwest's strongest team. He's really "solid" from tackle to tackle.
