: “Iron Man’ Starr May Replace

for N ationals

By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, July 6—~The blurred lighting of Claude Passeau’s

i fireball greets the thunder of Ted Williams’ bat in the first inning of this evening's major league all-star game at the Polo Grounds, sounding “the keynote in 50,000 throats of’ what promises to be the closest and most bitterly contested classic in the decade of. all-star history.

All squad members appreciate

"efforts and the enthusiasm of the

fans will result in sending more f than $100,000 worth of baseball equipment to American service men the world over, after this first twilight-night classic in major .lJeague annals. But deep in their hearts is the i ‘inter-league rivalry so dramatically .- depicted by Passeau of the National

t , league’ s Chicago Cubs and Williams

‘,of the American circuit’s Boston "Red Sox. Those two are taking up _-where they left off last year in “the ninth all-star contest that had (8 memorable ninth inning.

Americans Have Won Six

In that historic session at Briggs ‘stadium, Detroit, Williams came up in the ninth, facing Passeau, and the count was two balls and one strike when Temperamental Ted lashed a long home run into the

"upper right field seats, sending home

“the two runners ahead of him that turned defeat into a 7-5 Victory, giving the junior circuit “its sixth triumph of the nine all- ~ ‘star games.

Indians Win 4 in a Row:

Climb to 4th Poat Due to Hurl for Ladies Tonight

It was a glorious holiday weekend for Gabby Hartnett’s Indians

- |as they swept two double-headers

from the Louisville Colonels, one in Derbytown Saturday, the other kere yesterday. The four-in-a-row skyrocketed the Redskins from sixth place to fourth in the league race and lifted them over the .500 mark and into the first diviison in® tHe American asso-

_| ciation standings.

The Tribesters now are only a game and a half behind third-place Milwaukee, two and a half behind second-place Columbus and seven

land a half behind league leading

Kansas City. It's a perfect setting for a huge turnout at Victory field tonight when the Indians and Colonels close out the series in a single. tilt under the lights starting at 8:45. Ray Poat, the speedball artist, is

| tabbed to perform on the mound

for the Tribesters and endeavor to make it five straight over Bill Burwell’'s team.

Ladies’ Night at Finale

It will be “ladies’ night” at the Tribe park and it will be the Indians’ last appearance on the home grounds until July 16. They are-to begin an eastern swing at Toledo tomorrow. If the weather is right then it’s a safe guess the contest will be played before a big-time crowd and boost the Victory field total attendance for the season to date over the 100,000 mark. The official count after yesterday’s twin bill was announced as 98,370. } Yesterday's gate was 6662 paid, 117 soldiers and 282 others for a total of 7061. And everybody went home in a happy frame of mind. After the Indians jolted the Colonels, 9 to 6, in the opener, they jolted the fans into a frenzy by coming from behind to annex the seven-inning nightcap, 4 to 3.

Hartnett Wows Em

Gabby Hartnett was the Hartnett of old in the second fracas. He belted a home run over the leftfield*wall in the sixth and in the seventh and final frame the jovial skipper dropped a single in short center that batted in the winning run. Fans in the front boxes jumped

over the wall and staged a victory dance as they escorted Gabby to his

The big fellow took the demonstration in stride and promised the rooters the Indians would keep hustling and make every effort to continue the surge toward the league’s perch. The Redskins now are above the

| 500 mark by one game with a rec-

ord of 42 victories and 41 defeats. It was the fourth time in recent weeks that the 50-50 goal was reached by them and this time they made it stick by wihning that second struggle yesterday. In the first tilt the Tribesters treated the Colonels to a base-hit barrage and piled up a score of 9 to 0 before the Kentuckians struck pay dirt in the sixth and got to Woodie Rich for four runs. The Colonels also tallied two markers in

it safe and derricked Rich. Walter Tauscher went in and put on the brakes by some fancy relief pitching.

It was a bad afternoon for Lefty Blumette. He got into the second game ‘as a relief pitcher and lost that one, ‘too. Rich received credit for the first victory and Tauscher,

after Earl Reid was lifted for a pinch hitter in the sixth, emerged as the winning hurler. That second game was the berries. The Indians got one marker in the first heat and the Colonels scored
