MERICAN ASSOCIATION ALL-STAR game notes: Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, the high commissioner of baseball, with his secretary, Leslie O'Connor, said it was the biggest diamond show on earth. . . . “The big {Sagres do a pretty fair job,” the judge said, “but leave t to the Hoosiers to go ‘em one better. My hat is off to ih Indianapolis club officials and George Trautman, president of the A. A. I wouldn't have missed this entertain-

ment and ball game for anything. “Elegant setup, grand game and the special uniforms worn by the All-Stars gave me a hunch. Maybe we will copy the scheme in next year’s big league All-Star classic. A bit flashy for day baseball, but under the night lights I believe the fans approve of the gala colors. And that ball ‘game! Both teams turned it on and were out to win. “It was the kind of a game of the old-fashioned bitter rivalry type between ‘town’ teams and that great throng of fans saw a real show. By that turnout here I am convinced that Indianapolis is driving forward in baseball interest with its hustling team, smart management and

fighting spirit.”

RANK J. SHAUGHNESSY, president of the International League and father of nine children, eight boys and a girl, took extreme pleasure in coming back to Hoosier soil. He captained the Notre Dame football team in 1904 and plaved on the same eleven with the great Lou Salmon. : “We used to have some interesting battles with Purdue, Indiana and Wabash in the old days,” Shaughnessy said, “but a big crowd then hit around 5000. However, we fought our best and had a lot of fun. Yes, I think I'll put in an early reservation for a seat at the Notre Dame-Minnesota game this fall. Maybe I'll take the family and create an overflow crowd. Salmon was a wonder in the backfield. Full of run and everyHe was the captain in 1903.
