Show PAGE EIGHT PROVO (UTAH) - DAILY HERALD, - MONDAY, JULY 6, 1942 C THE HERAL D rovo i amps Ge mmell BrikKamni Win Hotly - Contested Game Predicted When Stars Of Two Leagues Clash BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 6 U.P The blurred lightning of Claude Pas-seau's Pas-seau's fireball greets the thunder thun-der 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 bit-terly contested classic in the decade dec-ade of all-star history. All squad members appreciate patiotically that their combined efforts and the enthusiasm of the fans will result in sending more than $100,000 worth of baseball equipment to American service men the world over, after this first twilight-night classic in major league annals. But deep in their hearts is the inter-league rivalry so dramatically dramatical-ly depicted by Fasseau of the National Na-tional 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 a memorable ninth inning. in-ning. In that historic session at Briggs stadium, Detroit, Williams came up in the nintu, facing Pas-seau, Pas-seau, and the count was two balls and one strike when tempera mental Ted lashed a long home run Into the upper right field their coaches later today on Derringer's Der-ringer's successor. Frick has warned all concerned that he wanted the key National pitchers rested. That's why Pas-seau Pas-seau of the Cubs and Mort Cooper Coop-er of the Cards were New York-bound York-bound yesterday white the rest of the leagues were engaged in doubleheaders. Other able pitcho on the National squad are Vander Meer of the Reds, Wyatt of the Dodgers, and Melton of the Giants. McCarthy piloting his fifth all-star all-star aggregation, who has just recovered from a recent gallbladder gall-bladder ailment, indicated that Spud Chandler of his own Yanks would start the game on the mound. Chandler, like Passeau of the Nationals, is a right-hander. With two right-handers on the hill, the starting batting orders were expected to be: National Brown, Cardinals, 2b; Vaughan, Dodgers, Sb; Reiser, Reis-er, Dodgers, cf; Mize, Giants, lb; Ott, Giants, rf ; Medwick, Dodg ers, If; Owen, Dodgers c; Miller, Braves, ss, and Passeau, Cubs, p.

(EWT) and seats, sending home two ruiiners gQing uner Ugnt3 u pro. ahead of him that turned defeat Into a 7-5 victory, giving the junior circuit its sixth triumph of the nine all-star games. This batting punch, as emphasized empha-sized by Williams, has been the major factor in the American league's victories, but this evening eve-ning at last a National league squad takes the field packed with power as well as traditional National Na-tional pitching. In fact, the rival batting percentages before yesterday's yes-terday's injury changes showed the American figure only four points above the National squad's .292. That is a major reason why ancient Jack Doyle, the Broadway pricemaker, made the betting even, quoting, "It's 6-5, and take your pick." It's doubtful if last-minute changes will have much bearing upon the outcome. Catcher Bill Dickey of the Yankees will not play because of shoulder hurts. Joe McCarthy, manager of the Yanks, who is piloting the American Amer-ican squad, announced last night that Hal Wagner of the Athletics will assist Buddy Rosar of the Yanks and Birdie Tebbetts of De-trol De-trol in the back-stopping duties. Another all-star veteran, Paul Derringer of the Cincinnati . Reds, who pitched in four previous clas sics, suffered an injured left knee rap when hit with a line drive yesterday in Pittsburgh. Manager Man-ager Leo Durocher of the Dodgers, Dodg-ers, who is handling the National all-stars, announced that Carl Hubbell, veteran of five all-star encounters, would replace Derringer. Der-ringer. But Ford Frick, president of the National league said Ray Starr of Cincinnati would sub for Derringer. Frick and Durocher Du-rocher will get together with ceed to Cleveland where it meets an all-star service team tomor row night. The game will be broadcast over Mutual network.

Daredevil Driver In His Last Stunt INDIANAPOLIS, July 6 (U.R Earl Teter his nickname was Lucky prepared for h'is last daredevil dare-devil automobile stunt for the duration. He was scheduled to jump his racing car 150 feet over a semitrailer semi-trailer truck at an army emergency emerg-ency relief show. After that, he intended to join the army. Col. Walter Drysdale, chairman of the Indiana army emergency relief fund, had asked Teter to supervise the show. Teter and 35 fellow drivers contributed their services. So it was that yesterday Teter warmed up his car for the leap a car, he said, that was only good for stunting, that wasted nothing needed in the war effort. As Teter gunned the motor for the leap, it sputtered and failed. The machine crashed into a wooden wood-en receiving ramp, killing him Instantly. That the Provo Timps have their sights glued on the Utah Industrial league second half championship was thoroughly demonstrated when they hammered ham-mered out a 19-5 victory over American Fork here Sunday after edging out Pinney Beverage the previous day. The Timps are now tied with Gemmell club for the league lead with two victories in as many starts. Gemmell Sunday defeated Helper in a 12-11 slugfest at Cop-perton. Cop-perton. The previous day the Clubmen beat the same team at Helper. Pinney dropped its second straight game by bowing to Brigham Brig-ham City, 4-2 at Salt Lake. Provo travels to Helper Wednesday. Wed-nesday. Gemmell plays the first half champion, Magna-Garfield at Magna, and American Fork goes to Brigham. Sunday's Provo-American Fork encounter was a ragged affair, with eight Forker errors combining com-bining with Provo's 18 hits to give the Timps an easy victory. Provo scored in all but two innings, in-nings, and tallied six runs in each of the second and sixth innings. Glen Berge, shortstop, led the hitting assault with a home run, two doubles and a single in six times at bat. Don Overly, who was acting manager in the ab sence of Skipper Lob Collins, and Mahlon Rasmuson each poled out three basehits. American Fork facing the slants of Deb Dudley, who twirled his first game of the season for the Timps after leaving the Forker club earlier in the campaign cam-paign collected 11 hits. Leading the .Forker attack was Boyd Dur-rant, Dur-rant, centerfielder and clean-up man, who hit three straight singles and walked twice in five times at bat. Dudley received good support afield, and the Timps came up with two snappy double plays. The Brigham-Pinney game was close all the way, with Pitcher Garner of the Peaches adding Kenny Price in a neat twirling duel. Gemmell had to score the winning win-ning run in Uie last of the ninth against Helper. Bob Detmers was the winning pitcher.

Traveling World Series Topic For Heated Discussion BY PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 6 (IIP) A red-hot battle was in prospect between be-tween the older but more modernistic mod-ernistic National league and the junior but more conservative American Am-erican league concerning the 15-game 15-game barnstorming plan for the world series which was discussed at the special meeting of the club owners today. 'The original plan calls for the 1942 world series to be staged on a best 8-of-15 game basis, barnstorming barn-storming at least half the series through minor league cities while following a procedure somewhat similar to the 1887 barnstorming series between Detroit, then of the National league, and St. Louis, then of the American association. Both leagues, reliable sources disclosed, were scheduled to make an exhaustive consideration of the plan today at the separate meetings. It was understood also that the National would probably approve it and the American loop reject it, but setting up a pungent pung-ent argument for their later joint session. However, the plan, already worked out to the minutest detail, has healthy backing in both circuits cir-cuits but was expected to meet stiff opopsitlon from conservatives conserva-tives of the Yankees' Ed Barrow category. "The idea was conceived for two big reasons: (1) Lengthening of the series which will automatically automatical-ly result in larger proceeds for army 'and navy relief, and (2) road-showing the series through minor league cities with the ultimate ulti-mate purpose of serving as a powerful stimulant to national interest in-terest in the game. The occasion could not be more opportune in view of the question of whether the majors should play next season. The first four games of the series, according to the program, will be played in the two contending contend-ing cities for example, New York and Brooklyn if they win the American and National league pennants. Then the remainder of the series would go on a tour that would last until the series winner win-ner is decided. One baseball authority pointed out that there are at least 14 minor league cities in which baseball base-ball parks can accommodate 15,-000 15,-000 or more fans some having capacities ranging up to 35,000.

Regulation "W" of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System developed for the controlling of consumer credit roughly establishes three basic credit classifications . . . and if you buy on a charge or budget account you fit into at least one of them. ' Read the following questions; then decide which classification-you classification-you come under and you can easily determine just how this new government regulation will affect you! 1. Do you pay your bills in the month following the date of purchase ? If you do, you are not affected in any way whatsoever by the new law and you may continue to use your charge account exactly as you have in the past! 2. Do you normally wait until after the tenth of the second month following the date of purchase to pay your bills? If you do, then you're going to have to change your habits somewhat some-what if you want to keep on using your charge account. For the new government regulation specifically states that any accounts not paid after the tenth of the second month following the date of purchase are in default. And when an account is in default, no further charge privileges can be extended until settlement is made. NO store is exempt from this rule. 3. Do you buy on the budget plan? if you do, you should know that from now on all budget or installment install-ment transactions must be agreed to in writing; and on all articles selling in excess of $6.00, down payment of not less than one-third one-third of the purchase price must be made. Each article purchased must be paid off in installments of not less than $5.00 a month. That's all there is to the new regulation I We don't believe that it will inconvenience any of our customers, for within the limits of the regulation, we are more than glad to extend the same credit accommodations that we have heretofore.
