For A. A. All-Star Game As Blues Bow Again, 5 to 3

KANSAS CITY, Mo,

July

18.—Now that the “host”|

team for the American Association All-Star game has been bumped off for the second consecutive year, agitation for a new setup for the midsummer classic gained new followers

today. Since it was Kansas City and in spite of the fact that, the seventh annual All-Star

game staged here last night

drew a new high in attendance of 18,499 “paid,” some of the league club owners are inclined to the belief that the peak has been

reached in the current system of matehing the leading players seven clubs against the league lead= ers as of a certain date Kansas City, of course, wants a change in the All-Star setup, and Leo T. Miller, Indianapolis elub president, is of the same mind. After Kansas City took a severe trouncing last year, the management of the Blues launched a move to have the All-Star game played between the East and West with the scene of op= erations alternating every year in order to give all eities in the league an equal chance of promoting the extravanganza

Bosses Fear Blues

In other words it would be the “pick” of the four Western e¢lubs| against the '‘pick” of the four in| the East. It is evident that the club bosses who are supporting the East! vs. West scheme fear the Kansas City Blues are likely to be repeating too often as the home team for the good of the attraction. The two de= feats in a row had the Blues’ fans really singing the blues today as a result the American Associa= tion board of directors postponed a definite decision on next season's all-star setup until their winter meeting in December Leo Miller's argument is that an East vs. West all-star game can be promoted into the real article in a couple of seasons and have the added benefits of stimulating and reviving baseball interest in the A. A. cities that have never had the opportunity of acting as “host” under the current arrangements,

Writers 0. K. Present Setup

The American Association chap= ter of the Baseball Writers’ Associa= tion of America yesterday voted to retain the all-star game ‘ag is,” but the writers do not have word. Baseball is a business and the club owners have to look after their investments now and in the future At any rate, last night's battle at Ruppert Stadium was fought right down to the hilt, the all-stars edging the league-leading Biues, 5 to 3 The contest was played under jdeal weather conditions and the 8.
