NLY three of the 46 players named on the two major league All-Star squads of this year saw service in the four All-Star games contested since 1933 . . . They are Lou Gehrig of the Yankees, Charlie Gehringer of the Tigers and Gabby Hartnett of the Cubs . . . There are a dozen others who competed in three games, namely: Billy Herman, Cubs; Pepper Martin, Joe Medwick and Dizzy Dean, Cardinals; Carl Hubbell and Mel Ott, Giants; Paul Waner, Pirates; Lefty Gomez, Yankees; Mel Harder and Earl Averill, Cleveland; Joe Cronin and Jimmy Foxx, Red Sox.
The cause for which the All-Star game is played is a worthy one . . . All receipts, above expenses, are donated to the Association of Professional Ball Players for its fund for needy and ill players and umpires.
n = » = = = AST year the players’ association helped 106 persons, with donations of more than $30,000 . . . Since its formation in 1925, when it had only $300 for relief, it has given out more than $167,000 . . . The dues range from $10 for major leaguers to $5 for players in the lower classifications. . . . Wade Killefer, Indianapolis manager, is a member of the board of directors . .. An itemized account of all expenditures is mailed the first of each month to Commissioner K. M. Landis. It is not an accident or unemployment insurance company and it does not have a pension system ... The organization is designed to furnish financial assistance to the ball player and umpire when he becomes of an age where he is no longer able to provide for himself, has no other source of income and no relatives to assist him. ... There were 10 relief cases in Indiana on the association’s books in 1936.
IP COLLINS of the Cubs started playing professional ball during a R strike among the coal miners at Nanty, Pa. . . . When the strike was settled, Collins remained a ball player. . . . And Linus Frey of the Cubs adopted baseball as a career when fired from a St. Louis factory. On April 28 the Bruins dropped into the National League cellar and by June 15 had reached first place. . . . Catcher Shanty Hogan is make ing business good for the manufacturers of uniforms. . .. Toronto is his third club this season, which means two more special orders, or six in all for the elephant. . . . His unies require enough cloth for a tent. “ys Detroit had no runner left on base in Tuesday's game at Chicago. . . . Ben Chapman of the Red Sox had nine putouts in right field in a recent game, seven in succession. = ® » = = n
URLEIGH GRIMES Dodgers have yet to win a game in Boston this season although they have shown the Bees some grand pitching performances and twice have carried the Beaneaters into extra innings. .. Just another illustration of the breaks of the game. There will be no more Sunday horse racing in New Orleans and Monday also may be dropped at the next Fair Grounds’ meeting to make it a five-day week. . . . The Crescent City is one of the few spots left where Sunday afternoon boxing bouts draw enough to make the Sabbath fistic sport worth while. . . . Lefty O'Doul, manager of the San Francisco Seals. is being tabbed as the next pilot of the Washington Senators os » s = » = ARRY KELLEY. Yale football and baseball star, turned down $5000 L to sign with the St Louis Cardinals, Shiopsing otives limes Yo get along in the world. . . . Besides, the big fellow is weak on curves. . His ge average was 280. . . . Carl Hubbell says Catcher Gus Man-* cuso bullied him out of that slump. . . . “He simply shook the yips out of me.” King Carl told friends the other day. . . . The Brooklyn Dodgers won three double-headers prior to that double shutout at the hands of the Boston Bees on Wednesday. . . . Bill Terry stirred up another feud when he failed to pick Heinie Manush of the Dodgers on the National League All-Star squad. . . . Brooklyn will be at the Polo Grounds Sundav and the fresh feud naturally will help pack the park. . .. Terry is a smart boxoffice man.

U.S. Net Star Sends German Down to Defeat in Straight Sets.

lwo grand crosscourt passers. Budge employed a neat backhand to win the sixth, came to the net to take the seventh, and won the eighth when von Cramm was guilty of alternately overdriving and netting. Budge speeded the tempo slightly in the second set and was hitting the corners with deep, low drives for winners. He was guilty of overdriving in the third, however, Budge held service in the fourth | to lead, 3-1, and von Cramm won | on his service in the fifth. Von| Cramm scored two passers to break | Don's service at love .in the sixth, | and also won the seventh to least 4-3. Budge, however, won the next three for the set. He countered with three consecutive forehand crosses in the eighth. Despite doublefaulting in the ninth von Cramm scored two perfect corner drives but then overlobbed and drove out of the court. Budge opened the 10th! game with an ace and then passed | the German to take 10th game and
et. Budge held the upper hand at | most stages of the match. His vietory made him the third United States player to win the unofficial world’s amateur tennis title since the reign of Big Bill Tilden ended [in 1930. Sidney Wood of New York was the 1931 champion. Immediately after the match the players were escorted to the royal box and presented to Queen Mary. Both bowed low as they were presented. Budge and the Queen Mother shook hands.
Cup Chances Enhanced
Budge's victory caused many crities to believe that the U. S. Davis Cup team was almost certain to regain the Davis Cup. Germany is likely to be America’s opponent in the interzone final, with the winner Challenging England for the tropay. Once past Germany, the U. S. team would be 1 to 5 favorites to defeat the weak English side. “I can hardly believe that I am Wimbledon champ,” Budge said after the match. “I did my best and I hope it was good enough for the spectators. Von Cramm certainly fought hard, especially in the last game when I was trying to get over my aces. TU admit I was glad when Von Cramm muffed that final return. I was glad it was all over.” -*.

FRIDAY, JULY 2, 1987
Clash Today jin Milwaukee
By United Press MILWAUKEE, Wis, July 2.—The nation’s premier distance runners will battle today for the 10,000 meters title vacated by Don Lash of Indiana in the opening event of the National A. A. U. track and field championships. Lash, forced out of the meet by an appendicitis attack, set a new national record last season. Now favored are Lash’s teammates, Jimmy Smith and Tommy Deckard, and Eino Pentti of the Millrose Athletic Club, New York. . The 10,000 meters was the only senior event scheduled today. Trials in junior events, open to all contestants who never have won a national senior title, will be held today and the finals tonight. The 22 other senior events will be held tomorrow. Five Olympic champions and 32 other United States Olympic team members were in the field of 300 seeking senior championships. All were heavy favorites to place in their respective events. Johnny Woodruff of Pittsburgh was the choice at 800 meters, with an excellent chance of breaking the mark set. last year by Ohio State's Charley Beetham. Since both Jesse Owens and Ralph Metcalf have retired from competition and Lash will not run, Woodruff appeared to be the only runner likely to create a new track record. Since his ‘triumph at Berlin Woodruff has been unbeatable at his favorite distance.
Other: Marks in Peril In the field, marks for the pole vault, discus and javelin were endangered.. The pole vault record of 14 feet, 62 inches held by George Varoff of San Francisco was not expected to survive the efforts of Olympic champion Earle Meadows and his teammate from ‘the University of California, Bill Sefton. * ..

Fight to Take Place in U. S. Late in Summer, Says Mike Jacobs.
By United Press NEW YORK, July 2.-—Heavy-weight Champion Joe Louis will defend his title against Tommy Farr, wearer of the British and Empire crown, “somewhere in the United States in August or September,” according to Promoter Mike Jacobs. “Uncle” Mike came to an agreement with Farr’s manager, Ted Broadribb, yesterday via transAtlantic telephone, then sent the following cable: “Your proposition for championship fight with Louis accepted on basis of 20 per cent option and guarantee I offered. Strickland okay on card. Fight in September. | Get ready come over in two weeks.
| Our Strauss will see you and com-
plete arrangements. Regard our agreement closed.” “Strickland” referred to the New Zealand heavyweight and “Strauss” meant Sol Strauss, attorney for Jacobs’ 20th Century Sporting Club, visiting in Europe. Thil Match Arranged This agreement apparently killed England's last hopes of a summer title fight between Farr and Max Schmeling. The promoter also announced a plan to stage four title bouts on the same card in Yankee Stadium, Aug. 25 or 26. He said Marcel
