Major League Teams Resume Regular Card New York. July 10. fl’Pi — Baseball's all stars came down to earth today, leaving the skies free to flying saucers and the fans free to figure out-if they can who will win the National league flag If anything was proved in Tues day's mid season "mellerdramu" at Wrigley field In Chicago, it was I that even In this year of home runs 1 for practically everybody, good pitching still provide* the author--1 Ity when the chips are down The greatest sluggers in the , game were in the all-star < lassie, but so were the greatest pitchers and at the finish it was the hurlers who were the heroes as the American league chalked up a 2 Io 1 victory over the Nationals Paradoxically, it was the lowest scoring game in the 14 years of the series and in the highest scor - ing season in the memory of the oldest bleacherlte. That being the case, it appears logical that the team best fortified with pitcher* from here on out should worm its way to the front at the finish in the weird National league race In which six clubs still are very much in the pennant running And because the defending champion St. Ixiui* Cardinals and . the consistent Boston Braves seem to have the most solid selection of front line pitchers, they are likely to have an edge that the bat-happy New York Giants and the young ( and spunky Brooklyn Dodgers can ! not surmount.

They have an eight game margin in first place and what helps their cause is that none of the so-called contenders, the Tiger*. Red Sox and the Athletics, can get off on a good winning streak. The Athletics open at Cleveland, the Red Sox at Detroit and the Senators at Chicago In other
