CHICAGO, Aug. 6. fANP)—Before the largest crowd ever to witness an all-star classic, 52,000 persons, old Satchel Paige of the Kansas City Monarchs sparked the West team to a 2 to 1 triumph over the East at White Sox Park Sunday afternoon. This was the first victory for the West in four years. The park was filled to capacity, with at least 10,000 others turned away. Some advance purchasers of tickets were unable to push their way to the entrance and had to return home.
