SPORTS
LR By Eddie Ash
THIS year’s American association all-star game is to be played for the benefit of the army and navy relief funds. . . . Net receipts will be divided equally between the funds. . . . Actual game expenses will be kept at a minimum, with the elimination of all the frills which
have heretofore marked the midsummer classic. The 1942 A. A. all-star classic is to be played on the night of Thursday, July 23, in the league city which holds first place in the standings following the games of Sunday, July 12. . . . It will be the ninth annual, In order that a large check be sent to the service funds, there will be no presents and no banguets at this year’s attraction. , . . The last five all-star games have been well supported by the fans. . Minneapolis was host city last year. The event has never been held in Louisville, St. Paul and Toledo. . Indianapolis was host in 1938 when the Indians were piloted by Rav Schalk. . . . But shortly after the all-star game, won by the Schalknien, the Redskins lost the league lead and never regained it. . They finished fourth. Minneapolis suffered a similar fate last season. ... After winning the right to play host, the Millers struck the skids and were out of first place on the night the game was staged. . . . They wound up fourth at the trail’s end in September.
Coast League in Dim-Ouf Area
SAN DIEGO of the Pacific Coast league probably will have to sive up night ball for the duration . .. on account of dim-out regulations in southern California. . . . The playing field is less than two miles from the waterfront. It is by no means certain that Wrigley field, Los Angeles, and Gilmore field, Hollywood, will not have to give up night ball, despite their distance inland (15 miles), because the reflection of the lights depends largely upon atmospheric conditions. ; » x » » ” x ANSWER TO QUERY: Pitcher Don Hendrickson of South Bend, Ind. is not with the Kansas City Blues. , . . He left the team recently and announced his retirement from baseball to enter defense work in South Bend. Hendrickson got away to a poor start this season. . . . In the few times he worked in a relief role he was unsteady, lacked control and was batted hard. . . . He was at his best two years ago. . . . He did not figure to be a regular starter for the Blues this season.
When Max Made Colonels Suffer
MAX MARSHALL, newest answer to the Cincinnati Reds’ outfield problem, was the story-book hero of one of the American association’s thrillingest uphill fights of 1941, the June 24 number. Louisville had a 7-0 lead over Columbus half way through the game. , . . Then the Red Birds commenced. . . . They rolled over four in the fifth, tied it with three in the seventh. . . . Johnny Grodzicki, with a stiff back, pitched the last two innings for Columbus and became the winning pitcher when Max Marshall stepped up in the ninth and plastered the winning home run. “Max.” incidentally, is a nickname for “Milo,” the classic cognomen bestowed upon our hero originally. . . . He hit .302 for Columbus in 138 games, with 17 home runs. . . . He had 11 triples.
” = ” = = = WHEN JIM TOBIN paused for breath after hitting three homers in one game May 13, his total of five for one month’s work was nore than any National league moundsman had put together in a complete season in the last eight years. Hal Schumacher’s six in 1934 has been the pitchers’ all-time home run record in the parent eircuit ever since Prince Hal hung it up. . . . Wes Ferrell's 1931 American league record of nine is the one
the Braves’ tantalizer is shooting for now.
Cards’ Health Prospects Improve
IF THAT oft-quoted law of averages is working this year, the St. Louis Cardinals’ drive for the flag will be entirely free from the
plague of injuries and illnesses that crippled them last season. . .. With strong men falling on all sides, the only Cardinal who never missed a game all year long was fragile-looking Marion Martin. . . .
This year the dawn of May found the shortstop sidelined, with Bob Blattner, the ex-world champion table tenniser, tending short for St. Louis. By the law of averages figuring, this is Marion’s year to take time off while the entire remainder of the club keeps its health throughout. . . . Getting marked absent May 2, in the Cards’ 17th game of the season, broke Marion's endurance record of 230 games, dating from Aug. 7, 1940. $ 4 & 4 4 4 LOTS OF YOUTHFUL prodigies have their fathers sign their first baseball contract for them on account of being under 21 at the time. . . . Charlie Gilbert, Chicago Cubs’ swift-scampering outfield ball-hawk, is the only major leaguer who had his father on the opposite side of the contract. In '39, the dad, Larry Gilbert, was manager and co-owner of the Nashville Vols, Southern association. . . . The Vols that year picked up a promising semi-pro star named Charlie Gilbert, who had been burning up the Tobacco State league with his sensational hitting, fielding and base-running.

Ceremonies Between Games
between games the first contest. More fans will be on hand during the interlude and there will be plenty of extra entertainment for them at that time. Incidentally, the Tribe park pass list has been suspended for the twi-light-moonlight twin bill, but one admission will be good for both games. The Great Lakes team's share of the receipts will go to the navy relief fund. Tribe Skipper Hartnett made a smart move when he promoted the veteran George Gill to a starting role. The slender righthander stepped out last night and shut out the second-place Kansas City Blues, 5 to 0, scattering six hits. . And Gill pitched the Indians out of the league cellar, no less, as Louisville lost to Milwaukee and dropped into the basement.
Promoted Last Week
After serving in the relief role Gill was advanced to a starter last Friday and lost a tough decision to Milwaukee when an infield error in the ninth cost him the ball game. Last night the Indians did not falter behind George and he really showed them some pitching. He had the Blues lofting the horsehide into the air and as a result the Indians only had seven assists. He fanned three and only issued one walk. In no one inning were the Blues successful in getting more than one hit and in three innings they were held hitless. There were 13 putouts in the Tribe outfield. Only seven Kansas City runners were left on base and only one reached third. After a struggle, the Indians broke the scoring ice in the third

Harlem Flash Risks Record
Against Servo
By JACK CUDDY
United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, May 28.—Ray Robinson, the brown-lightning boy from Harlem, risks his record of 120 straight amateur and professional ring victories tonight against Marty Servo of the coast guard, who came closest to snapping the thread in their first meeting last September. Despite the widely disputed split decision by which Robinson won that initial encounter at Philadelphia, the bookies have made the tall, slender Negro a 4-1 favorite for tonight's return 10-round welterweight “natural” at Madison Square Garden. Experts and fans are mystified by these long odds, given off by the same bookies who narrowly escaped catastrophe in the recent ‘AngottStolz and Pastor-Mauriello bouts,
