Ml 16 NEW YORK CITY, TUESDAY, JULY 7, 1936 i Pitchers Play Important Part in All-Star Game at Boston Star Short! By Pap Buddy Hassett Hits Rival Teams Bank Heavily on Hurlers; A.L.

5 to 3 Favorite By FRANK KEIL Staff Correspondent of The Eagle Boston, July 7 Not since the 'dream game" was conceived by the brain of a Chicago sports editor four years ago has the National League a better chance of winning than It has today when it meets the American League representatives in the All-Star game at the Beehive. It is only natural that after three consecutive victories In these grandiose exhibition games the American Leaguers would again be 5 to 3 favorites but Ford Frick's boys can chalk up their first triumph if the National League pitching is as good as it is cracked up to be. Best When on Road With the Dodgers By HAROLD PARROTT Gus Suhr at first today lor the National League All-Stars? Why? All Boston, for instance, would like to know. They'd like to know why their Baxter Barely Jordan, top-hitting (.357) first sacker in the National League, is the" stepchild ol today's game, which is being played on his own lot, too. More baseball bugs want to know why a slick fielder and accomplished socker like Ripper Collins of the Cards didn't get the job when Bill Terry declined.

This is not by any means to suggest that Hassett should have been named as All-Star first baseman; it's merely to call attention to the boy who may easily be the No. 1 rookie of the National League this year. HITS BEST IN WIDE OPEN SPACES Hassett is not a pull hitter whose success is predicated on the short fences in some of the smaller parks in the league; in fact, like Bill Terry, a man whose name will always be anathema here though he must be admired as a mighty hitter, the last man to lead the National League with a .400 average for the season tie hits best in the wide open spaces, where fielders cannot rely on fences to protect the foul lines, and are unable to "bunch" for drives to left and right center. The most convenient fences for Hassett, a left-handed swinger, should be Brooklyn, the Polo Grounds and Baker Bowl, Philadelphia.

in Dexter Parft Bout With Izzy Janazzo By CHARLES HECKELMANN Dont look now, but marks the spot where Steve Halaiko fell. The unfortunate Ukrainian welterweight slipped beneath the ax of that fiery office-holder, Izzy Janazzo, who is bent upon cleaning up the entire welterweight division and leaving nobody with job but himself. And since he is at the wheel in the No. 1 spot, the future looks bright the only shadow being the champion, Barney Ross. The mythical ax did Its work In 1:15 of the fourth round of the feature ten-rounder at Dexter Piirk last night when one of Janazzo's right hooks made contact with day amateur-pro tournament of the Westchester Country Golf Association yesterday.

The course offers admirable opportunity for those who can get off long drives, and Philly .270. The parks where Hassett, strangely like the Terry of old, wreaks his greatest havoc, are Chicago, where he has hit 388, and Cincinnati, where his mark is .400. There Is nothing wrong with Has-sett's fielding, his only early fault perhaps being an overanxiety to make a force play into second base on a bunt, when the odds were against him. As a matter of fact, ball players rate the young Brooklyn star a better fielder than Jor down and the honor of the older league seems to be at stake.

GRIMM AT HELM OF NATIONAL LEAGUE Mr. Frick has passed the word long to Charley Grimm, who will manage the National Leaguers, and today the boys will be out there leveling. Charley has forgotten for the time being his pennant fight with the Cardinal and the Nationals are prepared to shoot the works to win the ball game today. Curt Davis, one of Grimm's pitching stars, has had eight days' rest so that he nil be ready this afternoon. This grim determination backed by air-tight pitching might mean Six Qualifiers Added to List At Randalls Isle Sarazen Sees British Golfers Coming Threat Paul Runyan showed this by leading the professional field with a 35 3267.

Jack Creavy of Green Meadow, the present State Junior amateur champion and runnerup for the 35 State title, showed the way in the simon-pure group with a 69366. Runyan paired with Jerry Ohr-bach to place second In the best-ball event with a 333063. One stroke behind were Herman Barron rocked Joe Mulli to sleep in three rounds. Halaiko Weak on Defense The fight last night was all Janazzo from the opening gong. He went after Halaiko.

who appeared to be flabby and in very poor condition, with a fast left Jab that kept Halalko's head bobbing back and then shot home left hooks. In close he rapped the lad from Waverly, N. with short, sharp rights against which Halaiko seemed to have no defense. Halaiko was slow moving, made few attempts to counter and was very easy to hit. The fact that he was substituted a few days ago for Harry Dublinsky may explain his poor showing against Janazzo.

Janazzo breezed through the first dan right now. '-In fact, had not Suhr and Jordan pulled amazing comebacks with their bats, Hassett might easily be the outstanding first baseman in the leaeue rirtit now.

It certainly won't do any harm, as its Indifference in past games, particularly In the last when a pitcher like Bill Walker was permitted to start, has been a factor lending toward defeat. Grimm won on the scene of action early yesterday and discussed the line of battle with Frick.

However, the American League seems to be taking this game in stride and Joe McCarthy, manager of the team, did not arrive here until this morning, Blnce being named as substitute for the ailing Mickey Cochrane. McCarthy has said that he would not worry about the game until the day It was played.

And Mt--rt Gorman Denies Winsett Purchase The reported purchase of John Winsett. an outfielder with the Columbus Club, by the Brooklyn Dodgers, was denied this morning by John Gorman, business manager of the Brooklyn club. "I am awnre that the story is circulating," said Gorman.

Of course, the Cardinal second baseman stiU is a standout rookie, but it does not seem from this point of view that he will seem in September as good a ball player as Hassett or Gene Moore, Che Bees' sensational right fielder, both of whom are freshmen.
