; Gehrig Paces Murclerefls Row

in Shelling National League All Stars For 3-3 Victory

BY ALAN GOULD) (Associated Press Sports Editor) GRIFFITH STADIUM, Washington, July 7_-The Am- "jciln League's Ali-Stars, unloading a barrage of baseliits ,1 the expense of their foremost pitching foes, rode the

gi-est of a combined heat and hitting wave

to a decisive

baseball triumph today over the National League in the fifth annual charity ‘fdream game”. '

Sweltering in QO-degree heat with the rest of a capacity crowd numbering 231,391 cash customers, President Frank- lin D. Roosevelt looked on while the Americans shelled six

rival pitchers for an 8-3 victory, with an the long-range firing of Larrupin‘ Lou

attack featuring Gehrig and his

mates of the world champion Yankees.

Gehrig touched otf the fireworks with a third inning liomer oil’ the great Dizzy Dean, with Joe DiMaggio, sen- sational Yankee outfielder, on first base. This blow gave the Americans a lead they never relinquished, and caused Dean to be charged with his first all-star defeat.

IN THIS CURNER

Billy Holm. that durable mitt- slinger from Springhlll, Nova Sco- tia, is still angling for a return scrap with Island heavyweight champion George Leslie and states Holm: "I won't. rest until I get Leslie inside the ropes again".

It isn't difficult to see that the decision given in Leslie's favor when the pair met recently at Souris is still rankling the Spring- hill boy. He minces few words when stating that the decision was one hundred percent wrong, inhis opinion at least, and he is more than anxious to prove it.

9K élé 9k 9K

“I know I can beat him" Holm stated yesterday. And he is so certain of it that he says he will fight. Leslie for marbles or pea- nuts. The purse or title isn't wor- rying him in the least. All I-Iolm wants. he stated as he wound up with another vitriolic outburst over the decision. is that the battle be fought with six ounce gloves with a man in the ring capable of counting to ten. "1 had pillows to fight with last time". said Holm. "and even then I hit. him plenty

hard". 3K 9K 5K 5K

That last statement means no- thing else but that Holm is con- fident of kayolng Leslie. He said as much when he stated he would gamble on stopping him in four rounds. "And if I can't stop him I will hang the gloves up for

keeps". iii 9K 5K 9K l-Iolm hastene to explain that the last fight was anything but in the "bag". "Up to the time of the fight 1 was under the impression that. it. was to be an exhibition af- fair. but when I learned it was to be to a. decision I went out. there and fought everyminute. There wasn't much I could do about it when they handed me the big gloves to fight with"—1-Iolm called them pillows-"but even at. that. I honestly believed that I had won every round." "But." concluded I-Iolm. "I want another crack at the big boy and then I will prove that this isn't just so much ‘pop- ping ofPas an alibi for that Souris defeat." =1-

Intending entrants for the 40- mile bicycle race and lo-mile road race to be staged here on Jiilv 20th and 21st respectively are rather slow in sending in their entries. Promoters of the affair are anxious to get the names ns soon as possible so as all arrange- ments for the races can be com-

pleted. it iii iié 9k

So get busy fellows. and file your entries. Entries for the bike race are to be handed to Mr. Fred Plckard of the Bike Shop. while the entries for the road race are to be sent in care oi the Spcrt Editor oi the Guardian. As every- body is aware both events are open to the Maritimes with course oi the bike race from summerside to Charlottetown and the course for the plodders to be announced sometime before the end of the week.

The City Softball League is still very much a four-team affair with the lend changing regularly. \1— most every game now has an im- portant bearing on the ultimate outcome and with the half-war: mark passed the teams are boo!‘- ing down every minute.

But an old fault is beginning '0 become quite noticeable lately. that is the evident tendency of the teams to be late for encotlnlrm- It has been particularly nntivcflbl? the last several games and the squads had better take a word of warning and in future be on time or else lose the game by 10'1"“

Ohalking up their second straight Victory in three days Ev. Mc- Neill's Rovers last night advanced into a first place tie with the Ar- tillery icam in the City Softball 11688116 by sending the superiors down to a. one-sided 18 to 5 do. feat.

Garnering sixteen safe blows of! the combined offerings of two sllllerlors’ hurlers Rovers were. never in danger once they had built up a. 9-1 lead in the first three innings; they added a, 5m- gle run to their total in the fifth; counted three more in the sixth and wound up their high scoring efforts with five more tallies in the seventh and eighth. Eleven Superiors errors helped the Roy- ers’ cause greatly with the win- ners counting but six earned runs out of their big total.

Allllflllsh accounting for thirteen safe blows oft‘ Art Mollins, the best Superiors could do~ in the matter of scoring was push acrgss single tallies in the second, third, fourth. fifth and ninth frames. the Rovers‘ hurler bearing down bi-i1_ ltantly in the pinches.

Three home runs were Includgd in the ‘Rovers’ hitting barrage, Calms and McNevin slamming out round-trippers in the geqgond inning with Mollins completing the circuit in the sixth.

lock's warning lastnight that "the teams will have to start earlier" better be heeded and save a, lot of arguing and bickering that would follow such a procedure.

Speaking of the softball league there are two men who this year have done a lot. for softball and the smooth running of the league. They nre official umpires Nelson Whiilock and Bill Lawlor. Both these men have been on hand game after game. Teams never have to look for officials and as a consequence the games have all been conducted in a smooth. effi- cient manner. Their tasks are far from easy at times and both Nels and Bill deserve plenty commen- dation for their efforts.

Long range hitting triumphed over pitching ablity in baseball's annual All-Star game yesterdayat Washington and the American Leaguers showed conclusively that it is the" extra-base blows that provides the pay-off.

Tied Placky Scott Wins Honors Interesting Matinee Race Program Yesterday

The weather was delightful for the Matinee Races at the Chur- lottetown Driving Park yesterday sitcrnoon. and the track was in tip top shape, kept free from dust by the use of the sprinkler. There was a large attendance of spectat- ors. many of them from out of town. notably Summerside. Ken- sington and Montague.

The best performance of the afternoon was the third mile of the Class A Trot and Pace, won by the popular pacer Plucky Scott 2.08, this year in the ownership oi Neil Walker, Mount Edward Road. Mr. Walker handled her perfectly and is receiving congratulations on his own and the mares perform- ance. In the first meeting between Plucky Scott and Peter Reaper, Peter proved the winner. but yes- terday he only headed her in one heat, Plucky winning the first and third. the latter by quite a. good margin,

Millie Kalmuck. winner of the Class B Trot and Pace. put on her best performance of this year and showed enough to warrant her ad- mirers in expecting 2.12 for her before fall. Rosebud} driven by caretaker Austin Tiemey, was in top form and finished inches away from the winner in two heats. Yesterday was Austin's first ex- perience as a. race driver. but he showed good nerve, good judgment and an excellent knowledge of his mount. i

Class C Trot and Pace was won by June Worthy, a dainty little mare owned by William Trainor. Johnston's River. Mr.Trainor was the personification of coolness as he jumped to an early lead and sat; comfortably in the sulky. just giving an occasional glance back to see how the other competitors were getting along.

OARNOUSTIE. Scotland. July 7' —(OP)-—Ed Dudley. large and placid professional from the Urut- ed States. hobbled over wind-rak- ed Carnousties bonny brass in 70 strokes today to take a two-shot lead in the first round of the Bri- tish 0pm Golf Championship.

Suffering a twinge of pain every time he swung onto a collapsed arch in his left foot, burly Ed beat. Carnousties gruelling par by a. stroke and saved the American brigade from s. minor rout in the iaee of a. gusty wind and steady shotmaking by a group of home-- breds.

Two strokes back of the pace- maker came four Britons. chief of whom was Alf Padgham. the man whoiwon last year. Alf was supposed to be off his game so badly he was a 30 to 1 shot when the championship proper got un- derway over a. tough layout made tougher by lengthening of a num- ber of holes.

open winner in 1936; Willie Mc- ,

Minn. west Scotland's pro champ in 19M and 1929. and Reginald
