PACKED HOUSE TO SEE ALL-STAR PERFORMANCE
PHILADELPHIA, July 12—- ,ly the game wasn't slated for the
Major league moguls must have East this year. It comes off Tues-
had at least a swami or a ouija
board handy when they decided, six
months go, to put the all-star game
in Philadelphia this year.
’ It was at their winter pow-wow
that the club owners sent the inter-
league lawn party to this City of
Brotherly Love, although technical-
dav in Shibe Park, and it's probably
ably the luckiest decision the mag-
nates have made since pop bottles
were barred for throwing purposes
at umpires.
For when the Nationals and
the Americans start shooting at
8 p. m. (CWT), it looks as if
every one of the 32,480 seats in
Connie Mack’s castle on Lehigh
avenue will be full of custom-
era and the s.r.o. sign will be
out. All but 2,000 of the ducats
were gone Monday morning and
the folding money was still com-
ing in.
Early-arrivals were giving the Na-
tional league bandwagon a real hay-
ride, pointing out that the senior
circuit was sporting more pitching
and, what is even rarer, more pow-
er. Still, the betting commissioners
have installed the American leag-
uers 5 to 6 favorites to make, it
eight oat of 11 in these shindigs.
Meantime, the July meeting of
the hot-stove set argued most over
-whether Billy Southworth would
start his St. Louis Cardinal ace.
IS Flareup Presages
Mort Cooper, again for the Nation-
al league or would give his south-
paw specialist, Howie Pollet, a
crack at opening the fireworks.
Spud Chandler, the one - time
Georgia footballer, was due to open
for the Americans, but he served
up a full nine-inning "meal" day,
and it was believed Joe McCarthy
might go to his other Yankee star,
Tiny Bonham.

While on-the-surface peace reigned Monday in this latest
Ebbets field episode, involving the three-day suspension of
Star Pitcher Bobo Newsom for what Durocher termed “in-

reported to be that thev are “sick of being second guessed’
and that future flareups can be expected unless Durocher

The Yankees likewise wound up
their western invasion in fine style
by making it four straight over the
White Sox and their ninth win in
11 starts.
SPUD'S SIXTH
Spud Chandler won his 10th game
with a six-hit 9 to 0 shutout in
the opener. In the nightcap the
Yanks took a 6-0 lead, blew it when

inning, then won out, 8 to 6. in
the ninth on rookie Bud Methenys
first homer of the season.
Milo Candini suffered his first
defeat in eight starts for Washing-

out in the first inning and went
on to a 5 to 1 victory behind Al
Smith's five-hit twirling. The Sen-

the day by winning the second
game, 6 to 4, in 10 innings. Gerald

Bv HAROLD CLAASSEN
NEW YORK, July 12.—(P)—Arne
Anderson, Swedish school teacher
who lowered the time for the mile
to 4:02.6, believes that if he could
have reached his present peak a
year ago he could have chased
Gunder Haegg, now in the United
States, to the fabled-four-minute
clocking.
Anderson, who was "drafted" into
his first distance race by his school
eight years ago, is certain that he
doesn't have the equipment to reach
that goal himself but that Haegg
could if he is extended.
And the school teacher wouldn't
be a bit surprised if United States
athletes wiped out his newest mark,
once they have learned the tech-
nic of Swedish training.
Both Anderson and Haegg. who
Saturday lowered the American rec-
ord for the two-mile run to 8:53.9
in his Los Angeles appearance, have
the same practice routines. Neither

"In my opinion." Anderson
said last week before weather
conditions fouled his attempt to
wipe out Haegg’s world 1,500
meter mark, “if long distance
runners in the United States
would train on cross country
workouts I believe they would

Burton Hawkins, Washington
Star: “The Nationals lost their
sense of humor when Lefty Go-
mes pocked his suitcase and
headed home. Lefty’s brand of
banter was brilliant, but also
expensive. Clark Griffith was
paying $11,000 a year for what
amounted to considerable com-
• edy but virtually no pitching."

Then Vaughan told Durocher,
“I’ll have you know sir,
"I don't think Bobos suspension
was kosher."
Rickey talked to the twosome and
said:
"We may lose some.
“But for disciplines sake.
"I must let Newsom stew some.”

be much faster.”
Haegg quickly forsook New York
and its cinder paths for the moun-
tain country of Hanover, N. H., up-
on his arrival and has been vic-
torious in all three starts by wide
margins over the best the U. S.
had to offer.
The school teacher, who weighs
155 pounds and is 5 feet 10 inches
tall, is certain that If Haegg re-
turns to Sweden in good condition
that the two of them will revise the
record book the fall.
“But I doubt that I could beat
Haegg if he is in shape. He is a
natural runner and absolutely with-
out nerves," said Andersson. He
added that finishing second to the
Gaevle fireman in all their meet-
ings last summer had left him with
a definite "Haegg complex" but said
he believed he had conquered It
with his 4:02.6 mile.
