A. A. TURNS TO ALL-STAR GAME

GALA AFFAIR ON AT COLUMBUS

It’s Quite Intricate An American Cup yacht is so large

and intricate that a book could be written about a single part of the 35+

racing machine. The mast

alone would take volumes.

JOHNNY RIDDLE, the American Association’s No. 1 catcher, was off to the All-Star war today, Indianapolis’ lone representative in the fourth annual midsummer classic of the A. A. ... The contest is to be played under the lights at Red Rird Stadium, Columbus, tonight, and a record crowd for the event is forecast. ... As a matter of fact Columbus baseball officials believe attendance will hit 16,000 and field ropes will be ready to handle the overflow. While on the subject of Riddle, two other riddles (unsolved) figure in the classic. . . . Bob Logan, of the Indians, the league’s leading pitcher, and Vincent Sherlock, also of the Hoosiers, regarded by the majority of circuit scribes as the league’s best second sacker, were overlooked in the AllStar selections. . . . Evidently there is a screw loose in the method of distributing the honors.

= AT any rate, the battle between the All-Stars and the Red Birds is going to be staged with plenty of the old pomp. . . . It’s the first time the affair has been scheduled at night and all reserved seats were sold out a week ago. . « « A special light has been erected on the roof of the grandstand to “spot” the home plate and for about 20 minutes before game time there will be a parade of players and dignitaries as introductions are made. Players will be presented with trophies, Manager Allan Sothoron of the All-Stars will receive one and Manager Burt Shotton of the Red Birds will be the recipient of several gifts as a reward for having his team in first place on July 15 to win the right to act as the home club in the classic.

Milwaukee Youth Turns in Greatest Tennis of Career To Defeat Hare, 6-2, 6-4, 6-2

Frankie’s Performance Surprise in View of Englishman’s Great Showing Against Budge; Triumph Ends 10-Year Quest for Trophy.

(Continued from Page One)

Budge. But today Parker fulfilled all the predictions that were made of him when he was a “schoolboy wonder” in 1930. He attacked with savage relentlessness and Hare never had a chance. His victory came as a great relief to the Americans’ nonplaying ¢éaptain, Walter Pate, because Pate feared that Budge, fine a player as he is, might have been too tired to stop a rested and inspired Austin in a deciding match.

Parker started strongly by break- | ing the Englishman's service in the | first game with the loss of only a | point. He then held his own at] love for a 2-0 lead. Hare took the | third game with a vicious serving, | firing three aces at Frankie. Hare | tried to rush the net in the first | game, but Parker handcuffed him | with beautiful lobs. In the second | game Parker scored with fine drives. Parker played magnificently to sweep the next three games for the | commanding lead of 5-1. In the | fourth game Frankie rode into the Inet behind beautiful drives and | smashed Hare's weak returns. Park- | er again broke through Hare's serv{ice in the fifth game as Charley | | double-fauited. Parker, usually | weak off his forehand, splattered | the court with vicious drives off | that side in this chapter and kept

Series Hopes

Grip Chicago

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 27.—Intercity | rivalry between New York and Chicago flamed anew today as those | two cities visioned a monopoly on the World Series in October. Their representatives run onetwo in the major league pennant races. In the American League the Yankees top the White Sox by five games. In the National League the Cubs lead the Giants by two games. New York has the best chance to stage a revival of the “nickle” series of last fall, but Chicago is all hopped up over its opportunity to stage the first all-windy city World Series since 1906 as a result of the White Sox three out | four triumph over the Yanks in | ther final series in the west. | The New York clubs are crippled | badly. The Giants went West with|out Slick Castleman, who's won | | nine and lost five, and Catcher Gus |

{| Mancuso. Shortstop Dick Bartell | Henry, | Still is ailing but will try to resume

the British boy on the defensive. Parker volleyed Hare off the court in the sixth game. Running into the net behind a strong service the American butchered Charley's inept replies. Hare rallied strongly in the seventh game and scored several smashes off Parker’s lobs. He also bothered the American with sizzling cross-court drives. Parker came back strongly in the eighth

game and, taking the net at every opportunity, hammered his way to victory in the set. The point score | was Parker 29, Hare 16.

Hare Holds Service

| Hare held his service in the open- | ing game of the second set as he | came into the short court and | smothered Parker's lobs, Frankie swept the second game at service | as the Englishman hit a patchy | streak and overdrove the back and | sidelines by feet. Frankie broke | Hare's service for the third time in | the third game, completely outmaneuvering him with deftly placed corner and drop shots. Hare con- |

tributed to his downfall in this |

| game with another double fault.

Parker took the fourth game as| he spoiled Hare's net rushing tactics with blazing backhand shots | down the line. Parker gambled with all or nothing shots in the fifth | game and missed the line by inches. | Hare smashed and volleyed well to take the chapter. In the sixth game | the American's forehand brought | him victory. Every shot Parker hit off this side was a forcing shot, and paved the way for forays to the webbing and winning volleys. In the seventh game Hare served | with such ferocity that Parker was | barely able to get the ball back and | Charley pounced on the soft returns | for winning smashes. The American | routed Hare in the eighth game with | a series of perfect backhand passing | shots. The American also scored | with volleys that brooked no return. | Hare, behind a terrific service, swept the ninth game at love. Parker was

| & whirlwind in the 10th game, beat- | | ing through Hare's defenses with |

sizzling forehand drives. Unable to | cope with his foe from the deep | court, Hare attempted to storm the | net, but Parker frustrated him with teasing lobs and deftly placed | passers to take the second set 6-4. Hare changed his shoes at the | start of third set and it had a tonic | effect for the Englishman swept the first game with the loss of but a | point, and then cracked through | Parker's service for the first time for | a 2-0 lead. Hare double-faulted in the third game and this, coupled with fine driving by Parker, cost | him the game, Hare was a smash- | ing, volleying fool in the first two games. He was all over the court, firing winners from any and all peints. Parker won the deuced fourth game with a great drop volley. Parker's backhand worked perfectly in this game, twice returning smashes from Hare which looked like winners. In the fifth game Hare double-faulted and Parker! broke service to lead, 3-2. Parker,

atted for F. Johnson in seventh.

At the ball-game — wherever people relax and have fun, you'll find C.V. beer is the favored drink

There's a reason for this. C.V. has a taste that's as thrilling as a home run with the bases loaded.

C. V. is mellow, and it's s-m-o0-o-t-h. It's a pure, all-grain beer, too, that's brewed slow and aged right.

If you ever thought you didn't like beer, just try a bottle of C.V. You'll get a grand surprise and you'll like C. V. Beer.
