All-Star Box Score

Indianapolis Indians were prominent factors in the rally. Wayne Blackburn led off and reached first on an error and after one out, Joe Vosmik, Minneapolis, singled. Then Johnny. McCarthy, Indianapolis, walked to load the bases. : "This brought up Bustin’ Joe Bestudik, Indianapolis third sacker, and he promptly busted a double, scoring Blackburn and Vosmik. Willis Norman, Milwaukee, struck out and. Frank Drews, St. Paul, walked. George Lacy, Louisville, singled, scoring McCarthy and Bestudik before Pitcher George Munger, Columbus, grounded out to retire the side.

Indianapolis’ “Blackie” Blackburn led the stars at bat with three hits,

one a double. He batted in one run and scored one. Indianapolis’ Bestudik got two hits, one a double,

CHICAGO, July 2¢ (U. P.).—Shut |®

seeks to clinch the three-year-old

Shut Out Can

Out from the Greentree stable

turf championship tomorrow in the $50,000 added Arlington classic. Winner of the Kentucky Derby, the Belmont Stakes, the Yankee handicap and. the Blue Grass stakes, Shut Out can clinch the coveted title that went a year ago to the great Whirlaway by winning the classic. Gamblers and turf experts who back their judgment with cash were riding with Shut Out. Indications were the Greentree star would go to the post as an even money hoice in the field of 12 starters. Second choice in the betting probably will be With Regards, the Arkanes Derby winner owned by T. D. Grimes. With Regards won the classic trial early this week and looked razor-sharp.

Tough-Luck Racer

With Regards has been one of the tough-luck racers of the campaign. The colt hurt a leg coming out of the starting gate in the Kentucky Derby and despite the injury which caused .him to bleed throughout the mile and a quarter journey managed to finish fourth.
