Legion Blasis Harvester To Add To Lead The Decatur American legion baseball team, enjoying a field day at the expense of Harvester Sun day. moved Info a commanding lead in the Federation league a* Post 47 of Fort Wayne was upset hv Redkey. Decatur. smacking out 14 hits, handed Harvester a 17-5 whipping at Worthman field, while Redkey knocked off Post 47. 13-7. at the State School diamond Decatur has only two league games to play, with Van Wert and the Moose, games previously rained out. and victories for the locals in these tilts would make it impossible for Post 47. second place team, to pull into even a tie for the loop leadership. The league title wou'd give Decatur the choice spot in the annual playoff senes, which will get underway early in August for the right to play in the national tournament at Youngstown later In the season. Batter Harvester Paced by Hornberger's three hits and home runs by Baker and Bolyard. Itecatur had little trouble with the Harvester nine Sunday.

American All-Stars Favorites Tuesday St. Louie. July 12-IVPI— The big leagues' best gathered here today on the eve of the Lsth rnnual all-star game with the American league installed as the betting favorite despite a “paper percentage” in favor of the senior circuit. The cagey bookies were laying 11-20 on the Americans and offering 3-2 on the Nationals, basing their predictions on a past performance sheet which shows a 10-4 edge for the Harrldge entry But manager Leo Durocher's National leaguers matched a collective batting average of .300 plus against an approximate .270 by the men of Bucky Harris. And Leo’s six-man pitching staff was better with a winning percentage of about .610 than the unwieldly crew of Harris. Bucky's eight-man hurling corps sported a winning mark near 540. The National league fans hoped that St. Lcuis history might repeat itself On the only other occasion when the midsummer classic was played here, in 1940, the Nationals upset the Americans In the loop's only shutout in the series by a score of 4-0. Durocher, piloting players of the league that is known as the pitcher's circuit, adopted the tactics of the enemy to place his trust in bats, rather than pitching arms. His decision to limit his moundsmen to six enabled him to keep handy the helpful clubs of such sluggers as Bob Elliott and Tommy Holmes of the Boston Braves. Bob Thompson of the New York Giants and Eddie Waitkus of the Chicago Cubs. One of the prime treats for tomorrow's allstar crowd will a[r parently go on as scheduled Stan Muslal, St. Louis Cardinal leagueleading hitter, will probably match swats with Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox. Prospects of this duel were dimmed when It was reported that Williams, who leads the American’s hitters, had suffered an injured cartilage. But latest reports here were that Williams would play, at least for a few innings.

> i | Raffensberger Hurls Second One-Hit Game New York. July 12 -- U P) Apparently American league managers just don't care whether their side wins or not In the annual allstar game at St. Louis Tuesday They showed casual contempt for j the annual mld s»ason . lassie yesterday when they used six ~ul *’t the eight pitchers slated for duty, while national league managers didn't work a single man on the staff which has been named to car | ry on for the senior circuit. And Leo Durocher, manager of the national leaviie uptad deserv ed a few kind phrases in his behalf today because he by passed his j own Ralph Branca as a starter in; yesterdays game against the Giants Branca, whose all-time record against the Giants is eight victories and four defeats figured to beat them, while Preacher Roe who had been banged for nine lossses and six wins, figured to lose, especially be.ause the Giants murder southpaws. Roe gave the Giants a good tus sle until he was knocked out in the eighth, after which rookie Jack Con way hit a ninth inning homer to give New York a 3 to 2 victory that displaced Brooklyn In fourth place. Ken Raffensberger pitched his second one hit game of the season against the Cardinals, beating them 1 to 0 with Jonny Wyro stek getting him the run Ik- need ed in a hurry by tripling In the first inning and scoring on an in field out. Marty Marlon's single in the fourth spoiled Raffensberger's no • hitter. The Braves Increased their first place lead to a siseable 54 games by bombarding tha Phils. 9 to 4 at Boston, getting 14 hits including a burner by Jeff Heath Jim Russell hit a triple, double, single, got a walk and stole a base for a perfect day at bat and Connie Ryan, subbing for the injured Eddie Stanky drove in three runs with a double and two singles. All-star tmrd baseman Andy Patko homered to give Russ Meyer the run he needed for a 1 to (> victory in a two-hit performance in which the strong armed right hander won his ninth game, facing only 28 men.' Bob Feller of Cleveland, who will be just too busy to fulfill his pitching assignment In the all-star game, looked like he might more profitably spend the day leading his book entitled "how to pitch" after he suffered his 10tU defeat, a 3 to 2 loss to rhe Browns in which he was ! tagged for homers by Les Mossi and rookie Dick Kokos. His team-; mate. Bob Lemon, also an all-star. ! didn't get any rest but he scored: his sixth shutout of the season.
