Show KlflTMiiMm PTOHIM FML2 Yank Stars Bat In Seven Runs as American League Aces Rout Dean, Hubbell By GEORGE KIRKSET 1 United Press S porta Writer WASHINGTON, July 8 (UP) Baseball's "dream game" is still a nightmare to the National league. As the star dust settled on the fifth major league all-star game i today, the National league had a big headache and the American league had a big laugh. Even Bill Terry couldn't think of any alibi 'this time. I The American leaguers havi beaten Dizzy Dean, routed KlncJ Carl Hubbell.' won four out of fiv all-star games and are riding higher than" ever" la their ascendency ascenden-cy with the world champ I o n s h I p New York Yankees Yan-kees ' leading the way. The boom lng lege guns of the ranks riddled the National league's vaunted pitching masters with a deadly barrage of e hits to score in 8 to 3 triumph esterday In Grif- Gomes I flth stadium before 31.391 person including President Roosevelt and other dignitaries. Dean and Hubbell, the National league's two aces, were trumped by the murderous bats of the American Amer-ican leaguers. In previous all-star games the American league hitters have been at the mercy of Dean, the fast ball king, and Hubbell, thn screwball master. In 15 innings they made only one run off them. But the sand In the hourglass ran out on Dean and Hubbell, and the thundering bats of the American leaguers caught up with them. In the immortal words of Vernon (El Goofy) Gomez, eccentric Yankee portsider who emerged from the game with all the pitching laurels: "I guess we've convinced the invlncibles that the American league is pretty good after all." The way the American leaguers f took care of Dean and Hubbell may f cause a baseball axiom to be re- written. "Good pitching will stoo good hitting" may be changed te "good hitting will murder good pitching." . ' During the hot, sultry, suffocating day the American league shelled n National league pitchers for 13 hits, including a homer, a triple and three doubles. Only Cy Blanton, Pitts burgh's ace, held the American league artillery in complete checkj and he pitched to only one bitter-fanning bitter-fanning Joe DIMaggio. All the rest Dean, Hubbell, Munro, Grisnont and Walters heard the tune of American league base hits whistling paat their ear. The National league also made IS hits off Gomel, Bridge and Harder, but they squandered them. Griesom struck out DIMaggio and Gehrig for an auspicious start, but the next two men rapped him for doubles. Out of th ding-dong, two-hour and 30-minut battle emerged these stars among stars: Lou Gehrig Who battered a gaping gap-ing hoi in th National league's defense with a homer off Dean, crashed a double off Mungo and drove in four runs, a new record for one player in the all-star game. He bad made only one hit in previous previ-ous all-star appearances.
