Tom Manning (0:30)

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen of the RAD audio audience. Today we're out at the Polo Grounds, that historic old home of the New York Giants nestled in the lee of Coogan's Bluff on the island of Manhattan. The occasion of course is the playing of the second annual All Star Baseball game between the outstanding performers of the national and the American leagues. And boy, what an aggregation of ball saucers are wandering around there down there on that field right now. The pick of the world, no question about that. The crowd is tremendous. The stands are packed all the way around. If you don't know the Polo ground, I'll just tell you quickly that it is a double decked affair running about 4/5 to 56 of the way around the entire enclosure. There's only a small part of the grounds out in center field which is devoted to the bleachers. The rest is all double decked grandstand. The grass looks as though it were a absolutely as fine as the finest type of golf course green. It's perfect out there today and Henry Fabian has certainly done a great job. Every seat in the house is filled now, almost. At least I can't see any vacant seats any place from my place up here in the second tier off third base. Just about a capacity crowd right now and undoubtedly every inch of of the standing room will be taken before game time which is in just a little less than 15 minutes. The boys have drawn an absolutely perfect day for baseball. It's not too hot, but it's plenty hot enough to get a good sweat up when you're working out there on the field, but not too hot and not hot enough to be uncomfortable for the spectators, the customers. Oh, it's just perfect all the way around. There's a slight breeze blowing, but not enough to affect fly balls in particular. You know, last year the first of these All Star games was played out at Comiskey Field at Chicago and that ended with a victory for the younger league, the Americans the final score being four to nothing that day. A young fellow who had his 20th birthday in big league baseball only the day before yesterday and who intends to quit as a regular at the end of this season, he broke up that ball game with a towering home run with a man on the pad. His name, as you all know, is Babe Ruth or George Herman Ruth, if you will. And for years his specialty has been breaking up ball games. This is another year, however, and the National League is out to avenge that beating of 1933. The way that ball has been zipped around the bases so far, the dazzling infield plays both teams have been pulling off and the great running catches of long flies the outfielders have been snagging. It seems that a man must just be a magician to slap out a safe hit. But on the other hand, when you take a look at that those batting averages of the two murderers rows, you must realize that they'll just snap into it one time or another and do the necessary to score some runs. Leading off for the American League will be Charlie Garringer, who is second. Basing in.382 batting average has been one of the big reasons why the Detroit Tigers have been such thorns in the sides of the America of the New York Yankees all season. Crawling right along all the time. They've been on top once in a while, but the Yanks have managed to cross the fourth of July, which is supposed to be the old shed line across the 4th of July in the lead. The national batting order starts off with Frankie Frisch, the old Fardom flag manager of the St. Louis Potter. By the way, as we run along, those of you who want to take these names down, be sure to have your pencil and paper and you can get them. And then run over the batting order again a little when we finish thanking face the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals and the captain of all star Nationals. Today he's been camping around second base so long that that position has given up all its secrets to him. And his punch this year is out of 310 clips. Heiney Manouch of the Washington Americans is second on the American batting order and he'll be out there patrolling the left field garden. He says he's the only man posting a.400 batting average. His average is.402, by the way. He'll look awful tough to those opposing pitchers. My trainer, my trainer. A third baseman to conchure by. He's the new Pirate manager, you know, and he'll take care of the hot corner for the Nationals and if he can't do it, well then just nobody can. That's all. He's hitting at a.352 clip and he surely will play up to the great standard that he's set for years out there in Pittsburgh. Dave Ruth will be in his old right field stand for the Americans. The man with the all time record of 699 home runs in his major league career and who probably has been given more intentional passes than any other man ever in baseball for the Babe. His batting average is very puny this year. 291. The Nationals number three man is Joe Medley, who with the Dean brothers and Frankie Frisch is largely responsible for keeping the Cardinals up near the top. He's hitting.361. The American leaguer elite has chosen Lou Garrick, Columbia Lu of the Yankees to fill the cleanup position. And Takai Kyler of the cup gets the call from the Nationals. Gary Gone first is such an old institution that little need be said of him. He's baseball's iron man and he's well in the running for both batting and home run leadership in his league. He's batting 369 at present. Back I call her is a right field ball hawk and he sports a willow wielding average of.343 at present. Next for the Americans is Jimmy Fox. We had thought he would not be playing but he's going to play according to the official lineup. Of course. Jimmy is a great star and home run hitter for Connie Mack down in Philadelphia and whose first basing is just too well known to need any talking about. Fox is massaging the pellets at a 345 flip. He's playing third today for the Americans. Wally Burger.

Tom Manning (7:34)

Center fielder is a real ball hawk. One who gladdens the heart of Bill McKechnie as manager and one of the principal reasons why the Braves are always a menace. His hitting is.316. Al Simmons of the White Sox in Chicago comes next in the American fatting order. He'll do the better feeling a fat, utterly graceful fly chasers and always dangerous at the plate. How many of us who were there will ever forget that athletic rally of 10 runs against the cuffs in the World Series several years ago? A rally started by Simmons ringing home run against the left field stand. He batted twice in that inning. He's singing the ball for a.343 standing. Then we have Bill Terry on the Nationals. Memphis Bill, the manager and first sacker of the Nationals. He places himself sixth in the batting order in spite of a fine average of.368, highest of the national team regulars. As everyone knows, he's also manager of the world champion New York Giants. And he's out in front now in quest of his second pennant and of course his second World Series. Joe Conan of the Americans is not only manager of the team, but also manager of last year's American League champions, the Senators of Washington. Joe's pitching has fallen down on him a bit this year, but if those hurlers begin to click as they should, his team may be right up there yet. Joe will be in there doing a lot of short stopping, and he's much more dangerous at the plate than his.283 average might indicate. In this group of terrific super sluggers, Travis Jackson. Jackson of the Giants. He bats seventh for the Nationals. He's long been called the greatest shortstop in baseball, a player who seemed to be all washed up last winter on account of trouble with his leg. But trouble just doesn't mean a thing to Jackson. And he's in there with his flip forward arm, tossing runners out from any and all positions and holding up his end with the bat. With an average of.287, he's one of the most opportune hitters in the game today. Behind the bat, the Americans have Bill Dickey of the Yankees and the Nationals have Gabby Huckness of the Cubs. Most powerful bull work for their team. Both possessing fine arms to intimidate potential base dealers. And both have certainly that's certain something that helps and steadies pitchers at critical moments. Dickey is batting.322 right now with Hartlet just exactly the same, so there's nothing to choose there. The backstopping will be well taken care of. Two of the truly great pitchers of today will oppose each other in the starting lineup probably for three innings each. Senor Lefty Gomez of the Yankees and Kyle Hubble of the Giants. If these two are the starters, and I'm sure they will be now, there should be a southpaw battle for three innings at least. That'll be worth traveling mighty far to see. Gomez has already won 14 games for the Yanks and Hubble has a rating among many who should know as the greatest living pitcher and by not a few, as a man who is coming along to take his place as the greatest of all time man. Also, look at those batting orders. Not a soft spot from top to bottom, they're tough. Not the slightest chance for a pitching let up. Just groove one for any man in that lot and bang, there goes your old ball game. Will it be pitchers or will it be hitters? A difference of opinion, eh? Well, that's what makes portrait. Aside from the players mentioned, the Americans have as pitchers Red Roughing of the Yanks, Tom Bridges of the Tigers, Mel Harder of the Indians. Tom, how's Mel going? Pretty good. Thanks, man. Tom Manning at Cleveland ought to know all about them. Jack Russell of the Senators, infielders, Frank Higgins of the Athletics, Jimmy Dykes of the White Sox, outfielders Earl Everill of the Indians, Ben Chapman of the Yanks and Sammy west of the Browns. Of course, Tom Manning thinks that both Mel Harder and Earl Averill should be right in there now in the beginning of the game, but they're not. We'll probably see them all later. Catching Rick Sparrell of the Red Sox. I'm talking about extra players now. You know the Nationals have as pitchers Ron Wenicke, that great stuff for the Cub, Dizzy Dean, who with his brother is keeping the cards right up near the top. Van Mungo from the Dodgers. And over in Brooklyn, they think Van Mungo is the greatest pitcher in either league. And they're not sure he is with a lowly team this year. Unfortunately for the Dodgers, Van Mungo has been pitching great ball. Then they also have Fred Frankhouse of the Braves. He seems to be the general opinion around among those who might know something about it that the National League pitching will top the American League pitching today to some extent, but pretty soon we'll know all about it as S3 infielders in the National Nationals. Pepper Martin of the Cards. He's that baby that went crazy and just about 1 of World Series all by himself a few years ago. 3 years ago 31 Floyd Vaughn of the Pirate we had prompted for Floyd Mike Gwin play in short stop right away as Jackson has had some eye trouble. But Jackson will start Billy Herman of the Cubs outfielders for the Nationals, extra men Paul Wehner of the Pirates, Mel Ott of the Giants and Chuck Klein of the Cuff. Just think of a baseball team that keeps Paul Wehner, Mel Otter and Chick Klein on the base. Boy oh boy. Also an extra, Professor Al Lopez of the Dodge. The umpiring done today will be by Brick Owens and George Moriarty from the American League and Charlie Furman and Charlie Starch of the National League. Beside its manager Joe Cronin. The American will have the services of Walter Johnson. The all Master picture from Wal.

Tom Manning (14:39)

Tyler Johnson will be on the coaching line and Al Shack will also be on the line. The American League and the National League team will be similarly served by manager Bill McKechy and manager Casey Stengel. Casey Stengle. You know, I remember one day out here when Casey Stengo slapped out two home runs in the World Series, won a ball game for the Giants. What a day that was for old Casey. No doubt about that anyway, all together it looks as though a grand and glorious baseball game was going to begin very, very soon. The managers of the team, the captains of the teams and the four umpires have gathered around the whole place for a last minute conference before this ball game starts. I don't think there's a seat in the house. That means there must be somewhere in the neighborhood of 55 to 60,000 people crammed in the polar grounds this afternoon on one of the most beautiful Zaif bar days you ever saw in your life. Both Gomez and Hubble are down there, left hand left, handing him into their catches on the sidelines getting warmed up for the game. And I want you all to know that in a few moments we'll turn the microphone over to Tom Manning of Cleveland. Tom, you know, has been telling you about World Series since time immemorial. And he's also going to give us play by play scoring today. Tommy Manning, that carrot top redhead from Cleveland, Ohio. Be a quick, Tom. And also with us is Ford Bond. Ford Bond has been telling you all about the baseball scores daily through this season and he's been making a fine baseball game out of the news results following the game. Ford has been telling you about every game. They haven't missed a game yet, have you, Ford? No, he says he hasn't missed a game. Of course, if he falls out of his box, he might miss tomorrow's game, but we'll try to keep him in the field has been cleared now. Boys are still standing around the home plate. Joe Cronin and Bill Terry and I see Walter Johnson there too. And I believe. I don't know whether it's going to be before the game or not, but I believe it will. It will be the unveiling of the Tablet for John McGraw. John McGraw, the little Napoleon, as he was called for many years. Yes, the drapes have been pulled back from the tablet commemorating the history of John McGraw and the Giant. It's out in center field. The tablet to McGraw is located just above the tomb or not the tomb, it isn't exactly a tomb, but the stone plaque out in center field at the center field exit, which was erected some years ago for that word boy, Captain Eddie Grant, formerly of the Giant. Just above, just above the memorial to Eddie Grant is a plaque to Christy Masterson, who many people say, many of the old enthusiasts claim was absolutely the greatest Fisher of all time. Ross Young also is in memory out there with another plaque next to Christy Matheson. Ralph Young, you know, was that great outfielder of the New York Giants some years ago. And the Giants and the world lost him. Eddie Grant, Christy Matheson and Ross Young. And now above all of these, is placed the bronze slack in memory of John McGraw, one of the greatest leaders of baseball men who ever lived unquestionably, and one of the real old timers. He and Connie Mack, where they up to a short time ago were the only two of the real old timers left. And now we have but one Connie Mack, who I believe is now in his 72nd year. I believe Connie is that old. But to know Connie, you would never think he was that old. And it says it was a terrific blow to baseball, of course, to lose John McGraw. But he felt that he was not in good health. He resigned from his managership of the New York Giants. And they were his greatest love all his life. And it wasn't very long before it seemed that the body simply could not hold the soul any longer. When after he had lost his beloved Giant. And so he passed from it. Now, this ball game is going to start in just a very few moments. And I think Tommy Manning would like to warm himself up here talking for a few moments before this baseball game commences. Tommy Manning will tell you first about the player, the play by play through the entire game between innings. Ford Bond will talk to us and give us some of the high spots inning by inning. After the game, it'll be my pleasure to come back again on the microphone and talk about the game to some extent. Not too long, I hope. And now this is Dale McNamee speaking. The National League is the National Broadcasting Company. The National Broadcasting Company is sending you the details of this game. And here's Red Tom Manning. Come in, Tom. Good afternoon everybody. As Jeremis told you, it is really a great day here at the Polo Grounds in New York. And what a ball game we all anticipate. Before we get started this afternoon, I want you to know that Ford Bond is going to speak to you throughout the game. And if you don't mind, Azrea Maximi, of course, has given all of us so many fine thrills doing his broadcasting.

Tom Manning (21:42)

We're mighty happy to come to the day and to congratulate Graham McNamee. Today is in Fernstadt. That's right. That's right. Graham celebrating a birthday and showing all of his presence and claiming, what is it, 26 or 24 that he was asking about a while ago. Well, the players are all walking out now to have their pictures taken. Together with a few of the umpires, the National Leaguers have come out today. The National League are wearing their home uniforms and of course, each one of them decorated with their individual insignia of the teams. You see the Cardinals and the Pirates and the Giants, all of them down there. Just for a moment, while we have time, we're going to check through this batting order so that you'll have it firmly in your mind or on your sheet. If you're falling and keeping scores of the play by play account which will be given you by Tom Manning. We'll check through the American batting order here. For the moment, Geringer will lead off. Geirringer, the second baseman on the American lineup today. This will be followed by Manu. And the crowd rings out with applause for that National League crowd as they stand out. They're all having the picture taken. Almost as many ball players as there are photographers, but I think the photographers outnumber them. Nanush is second, then Ruth, third in the lineup, which is his usual place in the Yankees batting order, followed by that thundering artilleryman who bombards almost every park that he gets into. 24 home runs so far this season. Lou Gehry, first four, Gehringer, Manusch. Then fifth in the batting order and wearing the number five today is Fox Manning, third base here in the starting lineup, followed by that crashing center fielder Simmons. Simmons is sixth and also wearing that number. Then Cronin placing himself seventh in the batting order. He occupies fourth in the Senators batting Order of his home team. He's managing this club to today this American League club. And he's placed himself seventh in the batting order. Bill Dickey the catcher occupying the eighth place and Gomez the starting pitcher, the ninth. Now the players have broken up down there for the moment and are running out to their position. So we'll go through the National League batting order right quickly here. Frisch, lead off man and second baseman of the National League team today. Fener, third baseman and occupying the second place in the batting order, Medwick, followed by Kyler Kai Kai Kyler the right fielder, then Berger Perry. Jackson next, who is playing short. Thought that Vaughn might start, but Jackson's been chosen to start Hartnett. Gabby Hartnett, the catch Cubs catcher who is starting off a catcher for the National League is down there now. He's put on his protector. Nishin guards and Hubble walks out and picks up a ball on the mound. And hubble occupying the 9th position in the batting order. He's warming up now, tossing over a few to Gabby Harden who wings it back. And the infielders are tossing the ball around. It goes over to Bill Terry. He wings it across on the ground, over to Pat Trainer on third, getting just about ready. And Gearinger, the second baseman and lead off man for the Americans League team is up there now measuring his map and feeling of it. And here's Tom Manning to give you the side of this great game. The all stars of the American and National Leagues with the American League up at that with Gearing directed at the place. And here's Tom Manning. Well, just about to go on. Our sermon is behind the plate umpiring sermon of the National League. You know, George Polarity of the American League is at third. Rick Owen is at first and now he Stark is at second base. Charlie Carringer steps into the batter trap. Here's the wind up the great Paul Hubbell and the first foul pitch. Hits a foul down first base, right one. The ball is received over there by Walter Johnson, manager of the Cleveland Indians and was delayed for a moment. The ball got away from Walter and Phil Carey, manager and first baseman of today's game, finally receives the ball across the it back to the National League dugouts all ready to go again. Gellinger up, you know, spikes run foul. It's a fast ball, misses the outside corner of the plate just a little bit too high. That one was not quite as fast as the first ball that Hubble drops in there or that ball. One and strike one on Charlie Gallagher. You know that great second baseman of The Detroit Tigers. Here it is. Fine two never hopped ball misses the outside corner of the plate. Hubble stood there bending down for a moment, looking in and it's the ball and the count on Charlie Gellinger. Ball two and strike one. Here it is. He swings. It's a base hit. Frankie cries with a ball to foul into center field. It's combo carriers grounding first, throwing the second. It's close to throw. He's safe. He's safe at second base. That will be scored as a single for Tommy Gallagher and as error for center fielder Wally Berger. Sally Garrier with a count. Ball two and strike one. Max Apple through the infield. Frankie Craig, the manager of the St. Louis Cardinal who is playing second base, dove along the ground. It got barely missed his fingertips rolled on out of the center field where it was humbled by Berger. Charlie Carring in a playing heads up, thrown at first base and it was awful, awful close. At second he split in and he and Jackson were on the ground spotting his face. He is on second now we have Heine Manus. Heine Manus, the left fielder of the Washington Senators, a big husky left hand hitter is up. Heiney Manoul is the only major leaguer who has a batting average of.402 the first 10. There's a ball outside Spike swinging. Heinemann was not sitting on that one. He swallowed up all the way back. And the count on Heineman, the second man up in the first inning. Four one and strike one. Charlie Carringer on second base. Nobody else.

Tom Manning (28:45)

Oh, tiny menu. Taking almost a half swing, Gabby Hartman turning around, pointing his finger to the umpire with the ball at his hand. The umpire had called it a fall, so the count on Heiney Manu, a left hand hitter is ball two and strike one. Here's the pick. He swings, he misses. Strike two. Heiney man taking a long cut at that one on. God of me has it. I'm at right field. Please shoot here at the ball of ground which is 294ft from home platform and about 15ft high. The count on Manus. Ball two. Strike two. Nobody out carrying around second. Here it is, humble pitching. Ball three. A hook fall was just a little bit low on the outside. And now the crowd on Heine Manus. Ball three and strike two. It's the first inning of this all star ball game at the Polo Grounds in New York. The National Broadcasting Company sending you the description. Nobody else carrying Iran second. Heiney Manus with a count. Ball three. Strike two. Something's got to happen. Here it is. It's a ball. A ball that was over the plate, but just a little bit low and Heine Manus walked. Now we have Heinie on first, Charlie Garrigan on second and the mighty substance flaps. Listen to that cheer for Fay. Just at the moment. Manager Bill Perry, Frankie Fritz, Travis Jackson high trainer are all in there around Todd Hubbell and they're having, as Bill Mundy would say, a clap gutted to this huddle. And by the way, Bill Mundy is here with us in the box today. And a little later on we're going to have Bill come over, say hello. I know you'll all be anxious to hear him. Ball players may come and they may go. But here is the king of them all in the batter's box pulling that old bat up and down. He knocks the dust off his shoes and he's ready to face the great Carl Hubble. The pitch. It's a strike over the heart of the plate. A Paul strike on Babe Roost. It's the first inning, you know, Nobody out. Heiney Manousch is on first coming. Base on ball. Charlie Gehringer is on second base. Here's the pitch. Ball. It's outside. Ball one and strike one. Fans are all yelling. The American League fans of course. Crowd is split here and there is the American League. Fans of course are pointing for Babe to park. One of the Bleachers. One and one to pitch. He swings. He misses. It's a spike. Babe wound away back on that one. He was aiming for to someplace over in Coogan's Bluff. I don't know, but he was certainly swinging from way back. Strike two and ball one is the count. Tiny Manouch is on first. Charlie Gehringer is on second. Nobody is out. Paul Hubble, the great master league southpaw. The Giants is in the box. Here it is. Strike three. Strike three. He. Boy, oh boy, what a thrill with these 60,000 fans got out of that the mighty Fabreous up there. And with the master leaguers nervous with runners on first and second in this important ball game. Babe Ruth coming up there. And with the count two and one, Kyle Hubble hooks one over the inside corner. The Mae pulled away and it was a tall strike. Now we have one man out. But it isn't all over yet. They're all sluggers. Lou Gehrig is up and we're ready to go. Lou Gehrig knocks the dust off his shoes, pull down his cap and takes his chance in there. Hits a ball high outside. This boy, Gary Gano is what he's responsible for the position of the New York Yankees in the American League. Here's the pitch. He swings, he messes right two. Drew Garry from tidy hitting first backer of the New York Yankees is up there with runners on first and second. One man out. Foul at the slow inside. Garrick stepped up on that. All ready to punch it. But it's both low inside. And now the count is ball two and strike one. Gabby Hartman of the Chicago Cubs is the catcher. Kyle Hubble is in the box. The first inning. One man out, no score, runners on first and second. Here's the pitch to Derrick Hit too low. Ball three, Fred Hunter. Kyle Hubbell is working awfully hard out there. And well he should with this array of sluggers coming up. Jimmy Fox is hanging around home place. You've all heard, of course, of Jimmy Fox, Dave Ruth, Lou Gehry. Jimmy Fox following in a row. Murderous rower. Make no mistake about it. Three and one is the counter. Here's the pitch. It's a strike. A fastball right down the old alley. Gehring as elected to work out his string with Carl Hubble. And now the count is ball three and strike two. It is very possible now that carrying around second, Van Hooch on first will be off with the pictured motion. However, we have but one out. We shall see the attack of Bill Cronin on his next Play three and two. You know Manouch has a big lead off first. There they go, they're running. Terry swings, he misses, he plays out. But the double field was and carrying his head of the ball and his face. Mike Rainer the third basin for the National Leaguer. This while arguing with umpire George Moriality. That was very very close to Derek swung and missed a third strike. And with the runners off with the pitcher's motion another cloud was 3 and 2 and they were off. And Sally Geringer stood in just the

Tom Manning (35:50)

It was very very close but George Moriarty of the American League had his goals right over that play at third. Bas and declares Scott at Gehringer. Safe. There's a stolen base for Gehringer and a stolen base for Heinemann. Manager Bill Terry, Travis Jackson and several of the other boys now have walked over as far as the pitchers box from the argument at third base is over. They are now planning the attack on Jimmy Fox, one of the greatest right hand hitters of all time. While we have a moment, let us see the picture again. It is the first inning of this all strap ballgame. The polar grounds of New York City. Charlie Gehringer is on third base. Tiny Manus of the Washington Senators is on second. We have two men out and that spidey hitter of Connie Mack Philadelphia Athletic is now at the plate. Kyle Hubble is winding up. Here's the pitch Of Fox. He swings, he misses like one. Boy, how this Hubble is turning him across the plate. Pitching his old hard on out there for the cause of the National League. Striking out with those two great hitters, Payne Blues and Luke Gary. Two men out, runners on second and third. Foxes up. Strike the pitch. 4 1. That was a curveball that bit the inside. And the count is four one and strike one on Jimmy Fox. Jimmy Foxx is playing third base for the American Leaguers this afternoon. Here's the wind up again. Ball one. Strike one. It's a foul. Foul up over the stands in the back. And the count on Jimmy Fox in strike two. Gabby Hartnett gets a new ball from umpire Furbin and whips it down to Ty Trainer at third. Trainer takes his club off, runs it up a little and then runs halfway over to the pitcher's box where he crosses this far level. Boy, what's pitching this hovel is doing out there? The first two men are up, got on and then he struck out bruising Gary. And here's the pick. Strike two and ball one. Ball two. Ball two. It was high outside and the count on Jimmy Fox is strike two and ball two. Close scorers out of the first half of the first inning. Two men out. Gerringer is on third, Manusch is on second and Fox is up two and two. And here it is, the pitch. He swing. He's out. He's out. He's slipped out. Boy, oh boy, oh boy, he struck out. Street breakouts for Carl Hubble. Come in for a ball player's dream. Yes, sir, a manager's dream and a pitcher's nightmare. That's what this is when you face these murderers roads that come out here in a fast. And what an achievement that was of Carl Hubble Dresser in this first inning. Here is a resume of what happened. Just to go over it briefly. The American seat person and character leading off the count goes to two and one and he snaps a shot single at center field going into second base on Berger's error in center field. And he slid hot into second there with Frick receiving the throw and the umpire called him safe. Single and an extra base on Berger's error. Then Manush comes up and it goes to three and two. And then the next one sails over is a ball and Manush walks and there's two men on base and nobody out. And then into that big conference. There's in the infield with Bill Terry. Come all the way over to find out how you start. Pitcher Carl Hubble was going to do with two men on. And then these two murderers coming up. Dave Ruth and Garrick. Well, Bruce steps up there, the cop went to one and one ball and two strikes. And then the Babe's standing there looking at one and it comes over and the umpire's hand goes up in the air and the man is out. Yes, sir, Dave Bald out on sight. Garrick comes up and he goes out swinging. And Deeringer and Manoj go down to second and third, to third and second and second. And then Jimmy Fox comes up and strikes out. A great achievement. Carl Hubble. Here we go into the second half of the first inning. Tom Manning. Frankie Fritz is up second baseman, you know, manager to St. Louis Cardinals, Frankie Basham. Right handed. Lefty Gomez is in the box for the American Leaguers. Frankie gets the home. Oh, it's going up into the pieces. Oh, Ray Horse run a home run for Frankie Frank. Mr. Ratchwell. Yes indeed, Frankie Fraid certainly got a hold of that one and parked it in the upper deck on the right field for Venner. Directly up about 40ft above the 395 foot sign. That ball was well hit. And now we have Ty Trainer up another right hand batter. Strike. Oh, that was a curveball that Gomez had over the outside corner of the plate. And the count on Ty Traynor is. Strike. Run the next one. It's a ball high outside and the count is four one and strike one. Just imagine what we've seen here in the first inning so far. Far. Oh boy. It's a foul upstairs in back of the plate. And the count on Frankie Fritz is Spike. 2 and 4 1. Fritz steps out of the box for a moment, knocks the dirt off his shoes, then steps back in there again. But he finds Bethy Gomez walking around the second base side of the box, fumbling the lodging bag. But now we're ready to go. Strike two and ball one on five, Trainer. He swings and misses. It was a tip ball that got away from Phil Dickey. So the count remains. Strike two and four one. Well, the National Leaguers are out in front now, of course, by the score of 1 to nothing. This is the last half of the first inning. Nobody on Frankie Fish first up, smacks out a homer, has the ground ball down second base. Lane Gehringer is up with it. Potters to Garrick. Hang. Trainer is out at first. One man out and nobody out. That was a nice play by Charlie Garrick.

Tom Manning (42:54)

Of course. Makes a lot of brilliant plays down there. Second base. He had to run over fire to his right and he whipped the ball underhand, fell high to Lou Gehr. They have one man out and Joe Medwick is up. Joe medick also the St. Louis Cardinals. He bats them right handed, gets the first ball, hits the high flag. He's in the left field, man. Who's coming over? Coleman going out. Corin ran all the way out near the stand but yard failed to make the cat and it is a strike. Stoneman went a long way out for that one. Heiney Manooch is playing over in deep left center field for Joe Medley and the ball was hit just alongside of the bleachers out here in the left field corner. Joe Smarten just barely had his fingertips on that ball but couldn't hold it. Players are walking back to their positions rather slowly now. Heinemann back to left field and Troman and Fox coming into third and short. Now we're ready to go again. Lefty Gomez in the box. Medwick is up. Strike on the pitch. It's a foul up over the first clock and the count on Joe Medlich is strike two. Last half of the first inning. The National Leaguers won. American Leaguers nothing. Joey Mezick, one of the finest looking young ballplayer to come up in years, is at the plate. Dike2 and here's the pitch. He swings and misses. He thought it was a tip ball, but it was not. He is still claiming it was a tip ball. Dickey Dropped the ball and tagged him out. But Medlick is still talking to the umpire. But the umpire says it was not a tip ball and he has declared out a strikeout. Now we have two men out and nobody out. Joey Medlick thought that he tipped that ball, but if he did, the umpire did not hear it. And it was the third strike. Swinging two out, nobody on Ty Guy Carter. The Chicago Cubs is a tie in a roll through battingham right handed this afternoon. Kai is quite a ball player. He's been up a long time and plenty of thrill. He has given the max. The league fans foul high outside. Next hits the plate and it falls two. Ty Tyler is up there the last half of the first inning. Two out, nobody out. And it's not. It falls two, he swings. Mickey Crowder down short drop. Lake Boonen comes up with a toss it to Gary and Tyler is out at first. That retires the National Leaguers in the first inning and one round on one hit at the end of the first inning. The National Leaguers won, American Leaguers nothing. Come in four. And what a thrill rang through these stands when Frankie Frisch stepped up to that plate. A ball shot over and it was called a ball. Then he settled himself, gave a hit to his pants, wiped his hands in the dirt, picked up that bat, leaned over the plate and looked for the next delivery that Gomez shot in and wanged it high, hard and fire into the upper deck of the right field stand for a thrilling over. And now that does lift the fans out of their seats. A thrill when that ball leaves with the crack of the bat and smashes straight and direct for those upper right field fans. So a run came in and Gomez settled down. Trainer the second man, the National League batting order who came up. The Cowboy smacked it down to second base. Geary to come over. Keep it up fast. Got it to gears over on Furnace and he was out. One out. National Leaguers first inning. Then Medwick. Medwick came to bat, struck out. Tyler came up, got it down the corner. He's out cornering to Gehrig. And here we go with Simmons up at bat, I believe in the second inning. And Tom Manning coming in to give it to you. Carl Humble, the southpaw. The Giants is in the box again. Al Simmons, the right hand hitter, is up. The pitch. Ball one. The fast ball was high on the outside. Edwards went to the first half of the second inning. The National Leaguers are out in front by the score of one to nothing. Al Simmons leads off for the Americans in the second inning. He Swings and misses. A mighty swing. Turning all the way around. That's a beautiful pivot, you know that. Simmons has digs his toes in the dirt. Swings all around. And the Collies ball run and strike one. Manager Joe Corman is hanging around home plate. Coming up next, the pitch. Strike two. There was that old screwball, came in there shoulder high and then dove down and Simmons swung over it. And the count is strike two and for one. First man up for the American Leaguers in the second inning. Here's the pick. He's out, he's swinging. Strike out. One. Go. That was a change of pace offering that Carl Hubble had in that letter high. Simmons took a good toehold and swung. Boy, that constitutes some sort of a record. Babe Loose. Lou Gehrig, Jimmy Foxx and Al Simmons all striking out in succession. Boys and girls, this boy Hubble is a pitcher. Joe Cannon is up there. He gets him right handed, you know. The first is a foul up and back up on top of the press box. And the count on Joe Bonham is strike one. Bierman crosses out another new ball. Gabby Hartman puts it down to Bill Terry at first. Terry rubs it off a little bit and then tosses it over to Kyle Hubbell. First half of the second inning, one to nothing in favor of the National Leaguers. One man out and nobody is on. Here's the pitch to Cronin. Take two. That old blue ball of foul Hubbles is working in there beautifully this afternoon. It must be when you strike out four hitters like that blue Jerry Crock and Simmons. Now he has the count. Two of nothing on Joe Coleman. One man out. Nobody on the pitch. It's too high. Ball one. That was dust of our. The fastest ball that Hubble has. Cast him there this afternoon with accounts two or nothing. He's a smart pitcher, you know. He's whipped that box within there. Here's the pitch again quite three swinging, he stuck him out. Five strikeouts in the row for lefty Hubble of the basketball. First half of the second ring, the American Leaguers are left back and they have two men out. And nobody on the venerable goals were just tuned in. Kyle Haviland struck out the last five batters. Here's Bill Zinke. Strike the foul up in front of the punch box and it's strike one. Phil Dickey box them left hand. Bill Dickey, you know, is a great tall clean catcher of the New York Yankees. Ball. That was a hook ball that got away from Hubble. It was outside and a little bit low and the Count is ball one and strike one. What a ball game we're watching. Ball one and strike one. There's the wind up. Two out, nobody on. Strike two. That was a ball that Bill Dickey pulled away from. And it broke over the heart of the plate for Tall. Strike. And the count now is strike two. Ball one. The American Leaguers batting in the second inning. Two out, nobody on. Here's a pitch. Flake two and ball one. He bangs it at the base. Hit in the left heel. A base hit in the left field. The ball is received by Medwick. He tosses it into Travis Jackson at second base. And Dickens stops at first. That's the second hit of the afternoon for the American Leaguers. And now Rusty Gomez, who is in the puck for the American Leaguers, comes to the plate. The score, the National League has won. The American League is nothing. It's the first half of the second inning. Two men have been retired and Bill Zicke is on first. Gomez swings and throws back all the way down. Bill Terry at first base. Bill Curry picks the bat up and it's lacking all the way in the home plate. He doesn't throw it back, but he's walking all the way into the home plate. And Barry defamatly hands the bat to lefty Gomez. And that makes some kind of comment. Yes, sir. Phil Kelly picked that bat up. Rifle Mr. Riggs at first base and walked all the way into the batter sack and handed it to Ruth Gomez. Strike one, is the count. Two out, sticky on first and miss. Strike two. He swings. That was a long follow through. Very beautiful gosling that Rusty Gomez had on display that time. Spike two is the pound canal. Two men out and Bill Zicke is on first. Valley Gallinger hanging around home plate here with the pitch. Strike three. Swinging Betsy Gomez, the pitcher of the American Leaguer, struck out, making his sixth strikeout for Powerhum of the basketball league. The score one to nothing as we go to the first half of the second inning. Come in for it. The American League half of the second inning started off with Simmons up and of course the fans hanging onto the edge of their seats with Simmons at bat after Hubble had stuck out Ruth and Garrig in the first inning. So Simmons came up, the count went to one ball and two strikes. One and two on him, and then he swung hard and collected an awful lot of air on the end of his pass. The fourth strike got for Hubble, then Joe Conan came up. The count went at one account, went at one and two on him, and he Whipped with a vicious cut in that fall, the fifth man. Then Bill Dickey came up. Sure fire hitter Bill Dickey, a great catcher and the American League catcher this afternoon. And he wanged a nice little Texas leaguer out into left field. Just over the shortstop head and not far enough up for Medwick to do anything about it. Out in left field for a single, Gomez came to bat. Gomez, who had that contest on with him and Johnny Broca of the Yankees to see who could get it the more set this season. Gomez had five and he struck out three straights. So here we go into the National League half the second inning and here's Tom Manning to give it to you. Wally Berger, right hand hitter at first up. He swings at the first ball. Six minutes of foul up and back. Strike one. Lefty Gomez, you know, is in the box for the American Leaguers with Phil Dickey behind the bat. You have a moment, those who've just tuned in. Gehrig is at first, Geh at second. Final next short and Jimmy Foxx to the Athletics at third. The outfield is Bruce Simmons and Manusch two swinging. Wally Berger, you know, is one of the long distance hitters of the National League. Well, as far as that's concerned, everybody out here is a long distance hitter today. Berger's the first man up for the National Leaguers in the last half of the second. The pitch along. Francis pile in left field long. Slanty park high over the pavilion in left field and is strike to arms. Wally Burger. Score is one or nothing, you know, in favor of the Master Leaguers who he's over Frankie Fish's home run. Frankie Fish was the first man up for the Master Leaguers in the first inning. Pocket in the upper deck of the right field stands for a homer but three. Wally Berger strikes out clean. That's the second strikeout of the afternoon. Bill Cly is coming up. Bill gets a great ovation from the crowd as he steps to the plate. Bill is well like here in New York City and he should be. Bill is a great ball player. Bill is the manager of the National Leaguer today. He's the left hand hitter. The first six by Lamb. A fastball is outside.

Tom Manning (56:04)

Travis Jackson, first stop and captain of the Giants has a long smash in the center field. But Simmons coming in. Simmons is under it. He has it very very high. Flies center field. Al Simmons and old is usually F. Chicago White shot the golfing center field this afternoon with Heiney Meadows playing left. Travis Jackson shortstops. The Giants, a right hand hitter is next up. They said last minute that Jackson was all washed up on account of a bad knee, but then he is plenty sound this year and he's playing a player of a game. That was a fast fall just under the chin, but Jackson took a great cut at it. Two out and nobody on. Strike two ball. That was a nice curveball. Runner high ball bounded out of Dickey's glove, throws two feet towards third. Phil retreated across it, back to Gomez and we're ready to go. Two out, nobody on. Jackson up. Strike two. One to nothing in favor of the National Leaguer. Here's the pitch. Gomez takes an extra long wind up this time and here it is. It's a ball that was over the plate but just a little bit low. And the count on Travis Jackson is strike two and ball one. Two out, nobody on. And here comes strike three swinging. That was a slow cut that Jackson took at that. That's all for the National Leaguers in the second inning. No runs, no hits, no errors, four bombs. Looks like this game is going to settle the argument about which it takes to win ball games. Heavy hitters or great pitchers. Because the pitchers are tying these heavy hitting lineups in the mount this afternoon. The National League second inning. Gomez first pitching to Berger. Berger came up and went down on three straight balls all up. Then he swung hard of the third one and tore through a lot of the ozone above the plate and got exactly Nothing at all. Then Bill Terry came up to the chairs of the stand. A very popular player, great first baseman and great manager of the New York Giants came up and it went to one or nothing on him. A ball and those fights. And then he walloped a towering high fly. It sailed way high up into the center field. Simmons moved in under it and took it nicely for the second half. Then Travis Jackson came to bat. Travis Jackson left and Gomez had his number two. Jackson went down swinging, retiring the National League here in the second inning. So we come with the score one to nothing in favor of the National League into the third inning when the American League is back. The National Broadcasting Company bringing it to you. Here's Tom Manning to tell you about the play by play here in the third inning you've ever league is one run behind as they come to bat and Charlie Carringers, the Detroit Tigers second baseman is again the leadoff man. First time up, Charlie singles to center field. Went to second on the center fielder's fumble. The first pitch is a foul inside ball two. That was a hook fall and picks the outside corner. And the count on Charlie Carrier Backham left handed is to a nothing. Charlie hello was born over in Parleyville, Michigan. 5-11-19 3 strike. Foul ball doing strike off. As you can all get a Picture of Charlie 5ft 11 and a half and 180 pounds. Came to Detroit in 1925 from Toronto. Got a batting average at Grant average of 3 8. Get the whole next one deep into right field and Tyler goes back and makes that nice running clock at the edge of the clock in deep right field. Boy, that ball was hit right on the label. Looked like it was going place before a moment. But Kai Kyler turned his back with a crack of the bat and dashed out the cinder sack and made a sweet running sack for the first out. One down, nobody on high. Streeter and Bill Terry are over the pitcher spot now having a bit of a conference with Carl Hubble. Conference is over and Heidi Minouche is coming up last time up. Heiney walk, hits the first ball, picks the grounded on second base play. Cracky finishes up with it. Crosses the Curry man. Two men out, nobody on. Boy, those National Leaguers are whipping that ball around that infield with the speed of lightning. They're certainly all stepped up right on their toes this afternoon. Fables gets a great ovation as he comes up for the second side. Halftime up. Fabulous. Look out. The American League is half of a third of these one one behind two out of nobody arms and third, Ruth is up. Strike call. Rather slow curveball just above the knees and over the heart of the plate. They have decided to wait for another one. A cold strike, one to nothing is the count. The fifth. Well that was over just a little bit too low. And the count untable. Tall one and strike one. The score is one to nothing in favor of the National Leaguers. First half the third inning, two outs, nobody on. Double pitching. Here it is. It's too low. Five two and strike one on. Save Bruce Blue. Gary is hanging around home plate. Drew is coming up there next, you know. Two out, nobody on. Babe Ruth. Ball two, strike one. The pitch. A foul over into the master leaguers dugout, which is along first base. And that evens the count at ball two and strike two. There's a lot of pepper out there on the National Leaguers infield. A lot of baseball players out there incidentally. Three managers, Terry Fish and Slater and a captain, Travis Jackson. Two and two. The pitch fast three. That one dried fade route away from the plate. It was high inside. And now the count on the bird falls. Three and strike two. Nobody on base, you know, two out. Here's the wind up. 3 and 2. 3 and 2. 5 4. That was my inside driving the bay of the gun out of the batter spot. And he walked Lou Gehrig coming up last time up, Garry struck out. I don't see anybody warming up for the mass of lead as it gets. But just possible if Bill Kerry will allow Hubble to go along a little longer. Terry Garrett. Strike one. This is a follow back. Dave Ruth is on first base. First half of the third inning, two outs. Jimmy Fox is hanging him out home plate. Now here's the pitch. Gets a hold of it along. Smash the right field up into the wall. Trailer forward, close to the waller, makes the catch. And that's all that was. Two mighty giants that I mean by Gehringer and Gerry. But it's all over for the American Leaguers in the first half of the first. Come in four, five. Well, if Garrick had swollen around just a little harder on that one to score. There had been two runs in that inning because the Babe was down on first. Garrick came up and smashed that ball hard right on the old snozzle out into right field. He'd have pulled it around just about 25 beach. It would have sailed over that low barrier into those right field sterns. But Neil, well that's what between innings Azrabz were built on. Garringers was the first man up to lead off man of the Americans in the third and he banged a long hard hit fly way out to the bullpen in right field. But Kai Kyler was out there with a crack of the bat and took it on the run for a nice running catch for the first down. Then Manouch came up. Manouch Feng won a grass cutter down to. He was out on a fast play. Fish to Terry and two men were gone. The Babe came up two out, nobody on camp went to three and two on him and then he got a walk. Garrick came up and smashed that long one out of the right field. But Tyler took that one right. This right field is hard to measure here. The angles are peculiar on it. Here we go into the National League, share the third inning now. And the batter coming into the box. And here's Tom Manning. Gabby Hartnett, he captures the base game. Catcher for the Chicago Cubs, right hand hitter is first up. And on the first pitch from Gomez, he follows it up on the roof in back of home plate. And the count on Gabby Hartmut is strike one. Carl Hubble, the next hitter, has a ground ball over the pitchers. Head down short corner and in fast. Hazard with it to Gary and Hartman is out. That was a fast play by Bill Coleman, the shortstop of a lazy hopper just out of Gomez. Leap. Now we have one man out in the National League half of the third inning. We're going to have a pitch hitter for Kyle Hubble. Herman. Billy Herman, right hand hitter trapped for Kyle Hubble. Hubble has fixed his three innings and here's who for the day hits the first ball, takes a high fly out in the short left field. Pullman going back. Van Hooshin. Pullman is under it and has it for the out. That was a high fly. Manus and Troller both going after it. Now he has two men out and nobody out. Billy Herman hitting the first ball. Pick two, short left field, where it was taken by Joe Coleman. Once more we have the top of the National Leaguer's batting order. Coming up, Frankie Fridge, who is responsible for the National Leaguer's advantage of one run, who smacked that home run in the first inning. High into the upper deck of the right field stand. Ball one. That was a driving serve. Well, that was over with. Duck a little bit too high. Frankie Fish is strike one. Or ball one rather ball two. Third ball is high outside and the count is two and nothing. Two or nothing are Frankie Fritz, the manager of the St. Louis Garden. That's a high foul down fort first base. Derrick is going back fast over to the stands. Bob gets a little too deep into the boxes and back of first base and it's a strike. Gehrig is certainly a fighting ball player. He danced over for that one, never looked up until he got his hand on the little farrier in front of the boxes and looks up. But the blow is in the boxes a little too deep and the count on Frankie Friggs. Ball two and strike one. The last half of the third inning, you know, 6:12, two and strike two. Two and two, two out, nobody out. Ball three out of the curveball outside and how they count on Frankie Fitch and Fall 3 and Strike 2. Fans have settled down for just a moment now with that great excitement that we had in the first inning. It's a ball. First walk.

Tom Manning (69:17)

I wasn't able to get the other two over. He just missed the corner with that third ball. But the other one was plenty. Low and outside and pushes on. First two out and PI Traynor is up. PI gets that nickname. When he was a kid, he was always asking for pie. Fire one having some change of face offering. It's a little bit higher inside. Max Alegas riding in the last half of the third throughout. Bridge on first has a long curl down to right field and it's a strike. That was a hard smash down in right field. The fans all stood up as it left the bat, but it was followed by 15 or 20 yards ball running strike one. High trainer is up. Manager in third basement of the Pittsburgh Pilots. Foul up and back. Strike two and par one. That ball was about forehead high. Boner likes him high. And he fouled right into that one. But it was a foul back and the counter. Strike two and ball one five of the third inning max. The leaguers one, American Leaguers nothing. We have two out. Frankie Fitch is on first base. Betsy Gomez is in the box and the count. Our trainers. Strike two and ball one. Here it is. It's a ground ball through the foot of the infield, out into center field. Al Simmons comes up with it. And he returns the ball to fallen at second base. While Frankie Fritz pulls up at third. Frankie Fritz he third base standing up. A base hit four pie Trainer. That was a ground ball through the center of the infield. And it was received by Al Simmons in center field. Now we have Joey Medwick. Joey Medwick of the St. Louis finals coming up. Ball low. Inside runners on first and third to all. Last half of the third inning. Two men out. Last time up. Hedrick struck out a foul back and it evens the collid ball one and strike one. Here's the picture. Last half of the third inning. The Master Leaguers are out in front by the score of one to nothing. Ty Traynor is on first. Frankie Fish is on third. Joe Medlick is up. He hits a hole there like a long snatch. Throwing, throwing, throwing into the upper deck off the left field stands for a home run. Frankie flips, crosses the plate by Trainer. Is Browning third going in. And here comes Joey Medwick. The fans are all standing up, giving Medwick a cradle basis. A long home run into the upper deck of the left field. Stand for a home run. The National Leaguers are out in front by the score, Top four to nothing. Listen to that cloud for a moment. A very high foul pipeline is coming over. Go for it. And the winners carry the ball over against the screen. It hits the screen, nullifying a chance for Hartnett to make the catch. And the count on Jimmy Fox's all three hand strike shoes. There's nothing spooky about those home runs this afternoon. The one by Frankie Fitch in the first inning and by Joe Medwick in the third. Those balls were hit right on the labels. And they sailed not into the lower deck, but fall. Both of them were high in the upper deck. Gilly Fox first bat up in the fourth for the American Leaguers. He hits that ground ball down short. About half of Jackson lands it puts it to Terry. And Fox is out With a count falls the insight too. Fox hit a ground ball down shortstop where it took a nasty hop through Jackson. He took it just a bar at the tip of his cap and then whipped it over to Bill Terry. And Fox is out. One gong. Al Simmons is up. Al Simmons is always playing center field this afternoon. Al is one of the greatest right hand hitters of all time. Hit the ball that was over the heart of the plate but just a little bit low. And the count on Al Simmons is 12 1. First half of the fourth inning, you know one out, nobody on. Four to nothing in favor of the National League. Four to nothing has a high foul over the stern and back of the plate. And the count is ball one and strike one. A new ball is tossed out. Tom Warnakin over much slower Rambo style Hubble or Dusty Gomez. The count of Al Simmons now, his ball running. Strike one. Has a long bad throwing throwing up against the left field breaches as Simmons has joined the second baseball hand off the wall into the hands of Medwick. Medwick put the ball into Jackson and it was a two base run up for Al Simmons. That ball was within a yard or so of going deep into the left center field of leeches. And that's plenty high out there, about 25ft high. That was a true stage hit that anybody qualified? That's the first excavation of the afternoon for the National Leaguer Charlie Carrington. The first man up in the ball game single to put second on the center field is problem now he has one man out. Al Simmons on second base and Joe Pinham is up. Joe Pullman short stop and manager of the American regions. The dark afternoon as well as being manager of the Washington center. The first pick from Wanake hit that down left field with the base hit just inside about a foot inside there's a throw for Mudrick and Jackson. Holman was halfway down a second. McCain's finally went back to first and so Al Sharon came down to third base. Kept right on going. If anybody's warming up they must be. Center field. That's one of the back of the leaguer for me. A polio had two men out in the first half of the fourth inning. Joe Coleman is on first and Earl Averill is batting for Lexi Gomez. Avery now hits him left handed. Ron Warnicke a right hander in the box of pitch. Foul on a fast ball is high inside. One to nothing is the count. Now. It's funny Joe Thomas Steel now a be declared out. He really wouldn't be in the ball game. Officially Ball one is the count on April. Here's the pick. It's the low health. 2. Lonnie War, right hander, big call. Right hand stopped there in the box for the National Leaguers. Having replaced Val Hubble, He's on the rubber again, ready to face Averil with a count. Two and nothing to pick 12. 3. A fast ball is too low. Sorry. Garringham hanging around home plate. Three and nothing. Here's the count on April. Working that ball low outside for Earl. Lee and nothing is the count. Two out. Coleman is on first. It is strikes. Fall call. Three and strike one. That was a burning fast ball right down the old alley. Felt high. Three and one it is. Ronan is on first. Two men out. First half of the fourth. The pitch. He swings. It's a long, fast going, throwing, going deep into right field. And it turns off the fence out there. Averell is down in second. Roman is only. Here's the crowd, close to 35. He's safe. A mighty three base hit for Earl Abraill. And Cronin crosses the plate. The National Leaguers 4, the American Leaguers 2. Earl Abrielle, the center field of the Cleveland Indians with that top ball. Three and strike one. He took a toehold on that triple coming down the old alley and boy did he hit it. He hit it and he hit it. Come on. That was beautiful to watch. That ball was relayed from Tyler to Burger in third base. Earl Abrell with a beautiful hook. Pride beating the foe L. Jackson down there raising net at third base. Whistling and what have you fortitude in favor of the National Leaguers to our favorite on third. Charlie Gehringer of the Detroit Tigers is up the left hand side. One Gretel out of time. One brings a lot of secrets to the plate. Protection. Get the ball high inside. Tiny man who's just hanging around, well, let's say develop into a clutch vest before it's all over, eh? Here's the pitch. It's a strike, a fast ball right in there. And the count on Charlie Gellinger. Ball one and strike one. Valley Gellinger, you know, is one of the most likable ball players in the major league. Never has a bad word to say about anybody. Ball one and strike one as it counts. Ball two. That was a curveball that sets the outside corner to a left hand sticker. And the count is ball two and strike one. First half of the fourth inning. The score, the National League. Four American Leaguers two. Two men out. Abrar Lancer. Ball two and strike one and there it is. Ball three. Go outside and the count is three and one. Tiny Manous is hanging around home plate. Gets up now and Moses trousers down and waves that bat a few times. Gabby Hartnett walks out to have a bit of a conference with his battery mate Larry Warnake. You know this battery that we have in there now for the national leaguers represents the century of progress and the city of Chicago in a big way. Gabby Hartnett a fine catcher and Ron Warnicke a very very fine right hand pitcher. Here's the picture again. First half of the fourth inning, two out. Aberland Sturge sharing a report. Three strikes on the pitch. It's too wide and Carringer walk. Charlie Carringer walk. Bringing Heidi Manu, the mighty left fielder. The slugger of the Washington Senators is coming up. Charlie Carringer is doing right well by himself this afternoon. A base knock the first time up and the third time up to get a base on F. Elliott Gelringer on first, Averel on third, two runs behind. Heidi Manouch is up the left hand batter with Ron Warnicke pitching. Here it is. Strike one. He takes a terrific cut and misses. Strike 1 is the count on Heiney Manu. Anything can happen.

Tom Manning (82:17)

That's all for the American leaguers in the fourth inning. That was another 12 innings. The score now at the end of three and one half innings. The master leaguers four, American leaguers two, come in fourth. Wanaghe came in to pick for the National League in the American League's half of the fourth inning. And he first had to face Fox, who came up and the count went to three and joined. And he banged a hard draft cutter down to Travis Jackson, who fielded it very fast out of the CrossFit area and got into the bag just about 2ft ahead of the runner. Then came up Simmons, banged that ball hard, high and far way off the left field. Danced and just missed clearing by about 1 yard the barrier above the lower deck. He got a true bagger on him. Throws a man on base. One out and one on and Corin attacked. Cornan, smacked one to left field. Just about two feet inside the left field trial line, scoring Simmons a single for Joe Cronin.

Ronnie Berger is first up with Charlie Ruffing. Touching the first is a ball high inside and Wally Berger is forced to drop to the ground.

Ruffing came into six for the American League as the National Leaguers came up in the fourth. And Ruffing had Berger to face first. Berger fouled very high and F just back a third. Measured it. Having to ward the sun out of his eyes with the big mist as it came down. He almost misjudged it, had to leap back about a foot as it came down into his glove. And it was one out. Terry up and Terry got a ringing single in left field, went down to first. Jackson came up, had a lot of fouls and then banged one out to center field where Errol Averill took care of that.

First man up for the American League is in the fifth inning. That is a fast pad. Over the plate, but just a little bit low. Gabby Hartbet thought perhaps not to look over, but the count is re ensued. Al Shack just walked in there now holding up his hands, not declaring time for a moment, yelling for time. He's asked the umpire to take a look at that ball. That was all right. So Hal Jack is getting the box here, but he can take it. He's dipping his hat to the fan. Three and two is the count on Baboon. First bat up for the American Leaguers in the fifth inning. Here's the wind up three and two to pitch. Hit the ball. It's too low on base. And he's now 30 pound, 30 base. And laring of Columbia is next up, directly followed by Jimmy Fox. As the team remains the same infield. Dean Perry, Fritz Jackson and Slater. The time warning. Adam Knox now having replaced Kyle Habalus. Three great innings all ready to go now. Ready to work on that, Jerry. The first pitch. It's low outside. Ball one. Gary taps that old shillelagh on the plate, rubs his shoulders. He's a big fellow. Well, that is the counter. It is passed fastball with foul. Strike four of the plate and the count on. Scurrying to pass through first half of the fifth inning. Last two runs ahead, four to two. Robert Johnson is coaching at first base. Al Jack at third. The pitch. Jerry with the count. Two and nothing. He takes Palmos to half swing.

That's spat agreed with the Arbitrator behind the plate and the count is three and nothing. Derek elbows the half swinging red ball three and nothing. They lose on first. Nobody else hits, breaks fell. That was a fast ball right in there. Tommy Warnicke talked in there as much as to say who's afraid of you? Who's afraid of the big bad wolf. Now it's three and one. The big the highest fly up into the stands and right but it's foul. That was far funny. And the count on who Gary gets three and two. Jimmy Fox you know is coming up next. Herman tosses out a new ball. Hartnett puts it down to Pye trainer. Pye takes his double, gives it a bit of a massage then tosses it over to Lon Warnecke. Warnecke's a right hand pitcher. The count at three and two. I'm Lou Gehrig with Babe Ruth on first. The result of a base on ball nobody else. It is. It's too low and Jerry walk with the car 3 and 2 fastball down the alley but it was lower and now we have Jerry gone first, Dave Luzon second and manager Bill Terry five Trainer Mikey Push Jackson and Hardbeck all walking out to the pitcher's box. More stoppers. Wanake are pleased and going out of the box Jeff Brown Wanake is walking slowly nonchalantly over toward the national legislature's dugout which is located along the first safe line 50 team is running down the center field of end the warm up. We probably have Al Mungo coming in that's not officially just still a bit of a conference down there. So with a bit of our very friends of jets tuned in let us run over some of the highlights of the Rayyan. It's a long way down there to the full Penn Ken center field here at the Polar Downs in New York to be exact it's 455ft in the very first inning. The Charlie Carringer first single pass break behind him at east west. 3 and 2. Gary for a minute was a double steal when Derek struck out and the first fighter was right over then for the National Eagle because Jimmy Fox a great right hand interrupting of his buddies on the NCO ran in there slapped him on the back told him that he could feel. Baseball. This on the master league has happened to. Over the 395foot sign in right field. That's quite a crowd there. The polo count finally in the last religious half of the third inning they shove three runs across the plate. Joey Medlick coming up with two arms flap one into the upper Jack and the left fields a homer putting the National Leaguers out in front four to nothing. But the American Leaguers came back and scored two runs in the fourth inning. Dusty Gomez started for the American Leaguers and he pitched three and was replaced by Charlie Ruffing. Also of the New York Yankees, the great Carl Hubble. Great indeed he is. After watching him in the first game of that World Series last fall and watching him again this afternoon, striking up those points. He struck out with six men in three innings. That's a lot of strikeouts with players like this in the game. He certainly is a great pitcher, make no mistake about him. Ron Wanicker came on. The American League has scored two runs in the fourth inning. And now as we're in the fifth inning with runners on first and second, nobody else two runs behind. Ruth is on second, Carrick is on first and second. Jimmy Fox, the right hand hitter is coming up. Dan Mungo. M Q N G O Mungo. Here's the new National Leaguers pitcher. He's a right hander. Fox hits the first ball, picks a long drive in the right center field at the base hit. Fabulous. Is pounding third base. Here's the first, Gary ground second, coming to third. Gary Brown third. The third, but Gary goes back to third base. Babe Fox. The fight. And Fox shots at first. A single for Jimmy Fox and the long scene of the bars to fight center field. The score, the National Leaguers four, the American League three. Now we have Fox on first base carrying on third base. Al Simmons is coming up. That was a low line smash deep into right center field. Nice feeling out there by Wally Berger too. Now we have Al Simmons, another right hand batter coming up. Mungo, you know, is the National Leaguers pitcher. Here it is, ball one. A fast ball is too low. Well, it's a ball game again now. For a while there it looked awful bad for the American Leaguers with a score four to nothing, two runs last sitting. They have one miss with broilers on first, third and nobody else. Al Simmons is up. Ball one, the ground ball down to keep short. Catman comes up with a kick goal. The second is a bit high before Frankie puts off the bag carriage crosses the plate and the score is tied for. The official ruling. I start believe will be a Merrill. It is scored at the hit. Correct. That was soprano ball between trainer and Jackson. Jackson went into deep short far to his right and bagged the ball. And while off balance he threw the second base and Frankie Fritz had to leap into the air to spare the foe. But we Believe that Jimmy Fox would have beaten the foe. And so it is scored as a base hit for Al Simmons. Score is four and four, you know. And Ranekin's great corner. A right hand batter is coming up. Runners up first and second. Nobody else calling attempts to bump. It's a pac tire and the ghost action. What a cat. She makes that beautiful catch. Joe Corman attempts to not the fight and he pops the fireball up. And Gabby Hackney ripped off his mat and went back and stumbling took the ball on the edge of his cloth. Had it finally rolled into the stutter. And Dabby staggered and staggered some more but was able to hang on to it for the first out. The runners were unable to advance. So we have Al Simmons on first, Jimmy Parks on second. One man out and catcher Bill Dickey of the New York Yankees coming up. What a ball game. What catches, what is, what plays, what plays. Here it is a ball outside. That was a perfect fastball. That was outside. Dickey stepped right up there ready to hit. One or nothing is the count. One man out of the fifth inning. The pitch puts too low inside and the count on Bill sticking his ball too. That familiar whittle of Al's Jack is bringing through the polar cloud. Moya hall. He can whistle when he's poking there at third base. The count on Bill Dickey. Ball to the pitch. It's outside. Ball three. Ball three is the count. Earl Averill coming up next. That means that the pitcher will hit in Heidi Manouch's spot. Second strike called. Mungo aimed that one right down the alley so high. And now the count on Bill Zicke. A left hand batter throws the strike one. Al Simmons is on first. Jimmy Fox on second. Fifth inning, one out. Strike. Foil. Dan Mungo aimed that one right down through the heart of the platter's hand.

Tom Manning (108:37)

Three balls and two strikes. Runners on first and second. Will they go? Yes, they will. Let it go. It's a ball outside and the paces are loaded. The American League attack this afternoon with one man out. This is the third occasion we have had a chance to observe it with one man out. Gutter down first and second and three and two on the batter. They are off with the pitcher's motion. That time Fox and Simmons were off with a count three and two.

It's a foul blow outside and the count on Averill is two or nothing. Avery looks over to the bench now get a signal from Anakin Joe Flow as to whether or not you hit this triple when it comes down the alley. Not knowing the signals, of course he can't relay it to you, but we'll see anyway. Ball two. Here it is. He swings. Tiffany inside the first eight. Drive at the base hit. Marks is forward, Simmons is forward. Here comes Dickey the third. It's a two base hit for Abril Fox and Simmons have scored. Bill Sickey is on third base. Averill is on second. That is scored as a double for Earl Averell, the great little center field of the Cleveland Indians. He sets him there to substitute batter in the fourth inning and smack down a long triple. And coming up here now in the fifth inning with a bag loaded, ran with the culps two and jumping. The old stripper came down the alley and he met it right between the eyes and sailed it down the right field foul line for two bases. Sending Fox and Simmons across the plate and putting the American League team out in front by the score of 6 to 4. Yes, indeed, it's a ball game. Now we have Phil Dickey on third base early, Burl on second. One man, Dan Mungo is going to remain in the pitching box. Spainer Terry and Hartnett were out there. Charlie Gehring is up. The old baseball strategy, that meeting. From that meeting comes the strategy that Charlie Goering on the left hand batter shall be purposely passed. The count is ball two. Ball three. The bases will again be loaded. Who is also a great hitter, is going to bat for himself. Gehringer was perfectly fast. Yes, Charlie Gehringer is doing right well. A single accusation on balls out of four trips to the place. Bases water Red Roughing is up the first Fish swinging. Bill Dickey is on third. Earl Abrielle is on second. Charlie Gellinger is on first. One man out, six to four, the American Leaguers. It's a ball. A hooked ball hits the outside corner of the plate. And the count is ball one and strike one.

One man out, you know. Runners out first in second. It's the first half of the fifth inning. 60,000 folks yelling in stone for he takes a Mighty swing and misses right Clock. The big Babe wasn't kidding on that last strike though, I want to tell you. Strike one is the count on the page. And oh, it was too high and outside. Ball one and strike one. Larrating Lou Gehring hanging around whole plates. Ball one. Strike one. Stretch the pitch. The ball to down first. Terry picks the ball up, steps down first for the foot out unassisted, the runners advancing. Fabreous is still wondering whether that was fair or not. That was a ball that was right on the line. Took our time on calling that one. Terry took that ball as he was bounding right over the sack and stepped on the bag for the foot out of Babe Ruth unassisted. But Gerrier went to third and Ruffy went to second. Now we have Garrett coming up with two men out right down the old alley for a cold strike. That's going to put Carry down there as well. That was Clock coming up back, squeezes and misses. Bike two. Bike two is the constant outrunners on first and second. There it is. Swing in. That was a low third ball down around the knees that Garrett took a mighty cut at and missed. And then Ford box. Here's the fast review of that hot drift inning. And what a hop drift inning it was. Bruce up and bats to face Quake and he walks. Here he comes up and he walks. Bungo is set into replace one of the king. Fox comes up to bats, match one to right for a single scoring rule here. He's going to third. Simmons comes up to bats long, nobody out. It's a short traction zone. The second scoring the tying one. Gary coming in, Fox going to second. Jackson did a great job at even starting that ball and trying to toss it off foul. And it was scored as a hit for Simmons. Corn came up and fouled off to Hartley. Dickey at bat, walk filling the bags and Averil came up, doubled to right field, scoring Simmons and Fox. Then Garager came to Bap. Walked loading the bases, roughing game up. Mike won a Huffman in the left field scoring. Averill and Dickey, Bruce and Bap. Two on and one out. He smacked one right down the first baseline to Bill Ferry. Bill Ferry took it just about 2ft off the bag, back of the bag and stepped on it to save Alfer unassisted. Then Garrick came up to map and took three terrific swings at the ball and failed to connect with what Mungo had on retiring to side. Six runs, four hits and no errors making the score of the American League 8 and the National League 4. That's the score of the American League leading by four run as we go into the National League. Half the fifth inning. National Broadcasting Company bringing us to you this play by play account from the Polo Grounds in New York. A great all star game between the size of the American League and the size of the National League. For the old ball players who need their help now that these guys can give it to them while they're in there. Play great baseball. Great baseball out here before some 60,000 fans. Favors from war. As we said once before. It's a manager scene, these ball clubs. And a picture nightmare it proves to be when one after the other they came up there and you're afraid to walk this one because then look what you've got coming. Why, even when they walk to get the rubbing back up there. Have maxed out that ball into left field for a single. He's known me. Fast and honor. Coming up in this manner, we have Pepper Martin coming in to that. I believe he's going to be first. He's walking up there standing back the lane rather than warming up here in the box. The American League, six for six. He plays after a yes. And third. I believe there's a change in pictures at this time. Or is it still the big ref down there? He's still red left in the box. Bill Dickey. Bill Dickey, who's been doing yeoman service in this baseball game. He's down there now sticking ruffing. That's Martin. He great hero of the 1931 World Series. Is down there swinging his bat to get himself in shape to face the sexy of the big Red. Which isn't any easy thing to do. The old argument about whether the hitters will win the game or whether the pitchers will win the game has been turned inside out. And then back again here this afternoon in the first three innings when Hubble had it on the American League batters. And then here in the fourth and fifth when Warnicke and Mungo have been clapped pretty freely for six runs. Six runs in the fourth, eight runs in the fourth and fifth, Two in the fourth and six in the fifth. Two in the fourth and sixth in the fifth. That was the number that came in. There's some sort of a conference going on down here for a moment. The umpires have walked off the field and the boys in blue. Two of them have come back on. I believe Rick Owen and George Moriarty have lost. Back in the American League umpires where Charlie Furman and Dolly Stark, the National League umpires are for the moment we couldn't tell you because they disappeared from the diamonds and now Pepper Martin has picked up two bats. He definitely thought he was going to get to step up there a moment ago and he had dropped one of them. But he has two of them now, swinging them high and mighty just like you do the night. He's letting it swing back over his shoulder, come down, tap his leg and then back again. Down here for the moment in front of the plate is McCheckney, one of the coaches this afternoon. What a coaching staff we have and what a number of managers we have in this national league team of all stars who are out here on the diamond. Bill McChesney is standing there talking to Jordan La Yardi for the moment while roughing has gone back to tossing him to Bill Dickey for the moment he had stopped. The players themselves are wondering what the conference about and it hasn't been discovered just yet. Now, ladies and gentlemen, we have here a Jeffman whose wife we're sure you all know, one who became famous a number of years ago when he pulled a line which sounded like the trap shooter's huddle. Come down here, Bill Mundy. Want you to say a word here.

The American Leaguers are warming up this afternoon in deep left center field. And the National Leaguers bullpen is in deep right center field. They're both the same distance apart, except they the American Leaguers who are the visiting club today incidentally get plenty of good sunshine out there in center field. Right up to this stadium. Over in right field now, the water. The Cleveland Indians have all got away to a rather close time this year. Missing good baseball, allowing only a few hits per game, but was unable to win. But the last six times out he's done a world meeting. Harding at all. And Justin kid right hand pitcher Joe Coleman greets him as he nears shortstop. That's a long Walk from out there. Let's see the sign is 455ft away. 455ft out to the right center field booth. Panel Hart has been warming up guys in the fire and it started to warm up with catcher Bill Dickey. It's the last half of the fifth inning. This game has developed into a free hitting affair after call. Hubble left the game. Carl Hubble no free hit when Hubble was in the box. This is the third American league pitch of the afternoon down in Auckland as Gomez and then we had Rupping and now this is the fifth inning. We had Mel Harder replacing Charlie Ruffin.

That's scored as a two base hit for Al Simmons in a sixth inning. Nobody else. Manager Joe Cornham is a goal, you know, back them right handed. That was a very high fly ball. Must be said that Frankie Fridge was looking right up into the sun. Very possible that one of the outfielders, either Ott or Paul Rainer could have made the catch. But quick directed to strive for it. And the last moment he had to strive for it. And the official scores were the opinion that it should be scored as a two base hit for a moment. Right up where George Moriarty plays. New York's minus out of that Runway out in center. Fields are out there keeping the crowd in order. And George is of the opinion that they're in the way. Colonel hits the first ball, picks a lying. Try it, Corbett. Rainers heading to left field. The ball rolls off to the left field corner. Simmons bounds third and scores the goal.

This has been a rather large afternoon for about 60,000 baseball fans at the polar ground here in New York this afternoon. Watched a lot of baseball. Three and two on the hitter. Another foul back. One of the highlights of this afternoon's game. To arrive here early and watch the batting practice. You know there's this great array of hitters out here in both leagues. Finest hitters in the country. Pitchers shooting him down the alley. They were tracking him to all parts of this polo ground. Ready to go again. One out. Storm. And on second, three and two on Zilzicki the pitcher. Ball four and kicking block. Earl April coming up. Averill, the center field of the Cleveland Indians, came in as a substitute and tripple to seek field corner. Time has been called for a moment. Al Shack is running out towards second base. Let's see. Trying to have a substitute runner, I believe. Yes, I believe Mickey Cochran is going to run for Phil Dickey. Mickey Cochran. Mickey Cochran replaces Phil Zickey running at first base. And of course Mike will probably catch. Say he's doing a great job of managing the Detroit Tiger team. Just a half game out of first place. Thick as one fine ball player and a slow shot ready to go. Averill is up there with Koflam on first. Clern on second. First pitch to Averill is a foul. A burning fastball is inside. Here it is, ball two. Slow sweeping curveball outside. Come on, Earl. Able. To. Now. The count on April is three and nothing. Charlie Gavinigan coming up next. Oh, it's rather funny out here this afternoon watching one of these managers ordering a lot of other managers around. Three managers today carry and stone clean. One on April, five ball up and back and the count is three and two. All three in strike two. First half of the six inning in 08 to seven. Nine to seven rather nine to seven in favor of the American League. Her labor like a full count of 3 and 2. Dizzy teams. All right handers getting ready to pitch. Here it is, three and two is the count of play at second base. Fallen slide, he's one. Aki Bowen dashed over and back at stolen a second that time. Just when Dean was ready to shoot the ball Plateworth and he turned and flipped it to second base. How he's ready again. There's the stretch, three and two on Avery. The hitters still fooling around, looking out towards second. Kyle Jeans steps out of the box before the Jo having little game of hide and go speak down there. Second base. Our final. He's ready. Here it is we two. Strike three. He swings. That Cor is passed off second base. Corp has it's running down all the way to short. He has gone off and he crosses the ball through corn and it's out. Of and second. Earlabel had a count of three and two. He swung at the third strike. Joe Cor started from third base, then turned around and started back to second. Lopez the catcher, ran all the way down to the shortstop position and in fact made a tag for Cornham and missed him. Then Corman dashed for second base and he crossed the ball over to Bonham and Corman was tagged out. Come in forward. That was a funny double play and the whole foul like it with Lopez running out almost a second time sets the corner down the line, then stopping the second and then the second. He can't stop Paul who took the throw there, throwing down the first, retiring to side at the strikeout. Yes sir, that was the kind that was one of those that you can put in the book that is. It was a regular scheduled game, a very peculiar double play and one that gave the crowd of thrill. Dean opened the American League 6 pitch for the Nationals replacing Mungo at the start of the sixth. Buck was the first man to come up to facing here in the American League half of six in which they lead nine to seven. Bott up top went through two and two and Fox struck out. Simmons came up, flagged the short center great backed up for it, dropped it, drove hard as it came down the sun and it was scored by the official scorer as a two base hit for Simmons. Sconen up to bat, double Avery fired into left field over third base, Goring Simmons, Dickey came up one on and one out, down went to three and two and he walked and quadrant went into run. Boring. Averill came to bat two on and one out and then ensued that double play at the psych with after he swung hard the ball with Lopez going down to second within one of the plays where both men are moved off

Lopez then, seeing the situation, ran out the runners Cochran and Cronin wondering just what was happening. They both were in a position where they could hardly go back without the ball being thrown. The base would they'd try to return thinking they could brave it out and that funny play which Tom Manning described to you in turning off this sixth inning. So here we go into the seventh with the Americans leading nine to seven and Tom Manning to give you the play by play. Here we go. That's one of the last half of the six four National League coming to bats. And it's nine to seven. Nine to seven in favor of the American Leaguers. And Lopez is the first hitter. Lopez, you don't hit him right handed. Pel Harder is in the box for the American Leaguers. And Mickey Cochran is got you counts ball. Run. And he swings and misses. Strike. Ball. Run and strike one on moped Mope can always be played. Gabby Hartnett behind the bat for the National League scores 9 to 7. He takes the call. Jimmy pops up by laying down the front. But the ball is fouled. Strike two. That looks like a pretty good idea there for a moment. Not been a long time since Jimmy Fox has played third base at least regularly. Jimmy Foxx came into the American League a long time ago as a catcher. Then turned out to be third stracker and finally a third face. Tell me he looks pretty good over there. First particularly so. And he's up to the back of the Raptor's hand. Strike two. Ball one on Lopez. Strike three. That was a beautiful hook ball coming over there. About letter high both way down around the knees. Where's Lopez? Swinging over the. Well, Mr. Dean is coming up now. Mr. Dean of the st. Louis final. Bats him and throws them right handed. Now howler the Indians in the box.

Fall sweet serve ball with the spell high. Strike two and ball on the Marshall Eagles infield. The man dusted the stock. That was the ball. Lots of foot. Two and two last half of the fist inning one man out. Frankie Fish coming up next. Two and two as the line splashes the left field students coming in fast. Oh, he makes a beautiful running track. Lehigh coming in there at top speed of that low line. And now we have two outs. Two outs and nobody on. Frank Fish coming up. Frankie has a home run, baseline balls and a single out of three tips to the plate. It was Frankie, you know, smack that ball up into the right field upper deck for a home run. First up in the first inning. Is just a little bit too high. Two out, last half of the sixth inning. Frankie Frisk is up. Ball one. This is one ball down, short corner. Comes up with it, passes to Jerry. First game out. That ball for the Master Leaguers in the sixth inning. In the score, the American League is nine. The Master League is is seven. This game is being sent to you by the NAL Broadcasting Company. Come in for a bound. Well, that's the end of the six. Bound. Yes, sir. Leave. And the Snapley half of the six just now ensued when the National League is up at bat, led off by Lopez. Lopez, the catcher in the crowd, is all getting up for the old seven inning set here at the Polo Grounds. The All Star Games win. American and National League. Lopez let off the count, went through one ball and two strikes. And then he swung hard and went down swinging. One out. Dean. Then came up. Dizzy Dean, the Dizzy of the Dean brothers that sometimes you read about him, came up and the cop went to two and two. And then he smacked one into left field. Simmons coming in very fast, quarters right at his knees. Making a beautiful running catch of Dean fly off into left. That was two out for the National Leaguers in the six. Then Frankie Fram flat came up to Bish. Banged a hard one down to short. Gor took it in deep. Short wheels shouted him down to first. Lou Gehrig retiring the National League in the sixth. And we go into the seventh. The seventh, that's right. This time with the American League leading nine to seven. Here's Tom Manning to give you the play by play of the seventh inning. Willie Herman replaces Frankie Frisk at second base for the National League. Willie Herman is playing second in place of six. G is up. Foul run. Down two. Lizzy Dean is still in the box for the National Leaguers with Lopez behind the back. That's not good. Lopez on skill. Ali Garrison, two or nothing. Strike. F1 in there with 20 on it. Two F1. First half of the seventh inning, nine of the seven. The American League ball. Three Lazy S too high. Three and one. As it's backed out to right speed. Looks like a base clock. It is just inside the line. Gerrier's going to second. It's close. Here's the throw. It's 22. He's out. He is out at quick and late. Charlie Gerrier playing one down into the light field corner. Alarm goes over there on the ball, picked it up and the ball and Geringer arriving almost at the same time. Gering Ginger sliding in hockey. Bourne took that ball and dropped it on Gallinger for a sweet smoke. Play umpire. George Moriarty had his nose not five inches from that play. 20 declared, carrying him out. Well, that's another hit for Charlie. Two hits, two bases on. Ball one out. Malibu Iver is up. The American Leaguer's pitcher. Valiant old batson. Toe's right hand. Up there and the count is ball one and strike one. First half of the seventh inning, one man out, nobody on. Here it is. Strike two. He cuts and misses. Either hurt his fingernail swinging that time. Stepped out of the box, looked at it right back in there. Strike two, Ball run. The pitch swung rather feebly at that one. He started a swing and then tried to hold the swing and it was a foul ball. Strike two and ball one. That was dangerously close to being a bunch. Strike two and ball run and here it is, fight three. He swings as misses. First half of the seventh inning. Two men out. Penny Chapman is coming up. In the American League lineup At present the pitcher is batting second. That occurred because Earl Aberillo hit when the pitcher went into the ball game in a caution of finish. A long flash into center field. It's going, boy. Out against the center field bench. Chaplin is grounding second. There's the goal. Kaplan's going to third. He stopped at third base. That was a long flag out against the 455 foot sign in left center field. Chuck Klein and Paul Wehner both dashing out there for it back. They were a pile away from him. Use the vernacular. Balls kept right out going hands could have cleared about against the scoreboard. That was quite a shock by Sir Benny Chapman. And how that baby can dash around the bank. Two men out and blue carriage is up. It's almost this. Garrick is quite a ball player. Two men out, Chapel on third. Dizzy Dean, a right hander, is in the box and Sue Garrig is up. Strike one called. Here's the wind up. Foul. A burning fat ball is high on the outside. On the count on Gary gets 4 to 1 and strike 2. BL Garrig has asked umpire Owen to examine the ball. He does. Lou Gehrig was right. Ball is first out of the game and now we have a new one. Count on Larabing. Lou is ball one and strike one. First half of the seventh inning, nine to seven in favor of the American League. Nine to seven, two out, Japan is on first strike. Foul. Now the card on Luke Derrick is strike two and ball one. Looking at Derek saying, you're just a big bad wolf and I ain't scared. Here it is, two and one, strike three. Ball. That was a Fast ball right down the alley so high with 20 on it. That's all for the American Leaguers in the seventh inning. I want to mention to J. LA that His Honor Judge Landis is out here as is Mrs. Landis and many of the baseball owners throughout the American and National Leagues. Charlie up for the old seventh inning stretch again and here's four times come in for me. Yes, Tom, all the Magic are out and all the fans, the American League fans and the National League fans here in New York out to route and doing plenty of routing and getting plenty to root about in this All Star Game which the National Broadcasting Company is bringing to you.

Tom Manning (173:54)

Casino Class of seventhly seventh inning with the American League just retiring now to let the National League of Sun in for their half of it. They started off that plan with gearing good fat. It went to three and two and he smacked one off the right field side to check and without the second up to Vaughn off wing attack to farm and a very close division there. Earringer was out harder then came up the count went to one and two and he swung hard and two men were gone. Then Ben Chapman who replaced base Ruth in right field. Ben Chapman came up to bat, leaned on that old apple hard and smashed the lever leather way out through the bull pen in left field. 455 foot mark from the plate. Just a reborn and 55 foot mark out there for a three bagger. He wheeled his way into third and looks for a moment as if he wanted to try to tuck it into a homer. Garrick came up and went out on strike. So we go into the National League. Half the American League leading 9 to 7 coming down. The back. The first fix to my trainer is a call. Strike. Here we go. Swings at the foul. Strike two. American League Enfield is Garrick, Gerrier, Foner and Fox the outfield of the moment. Simmons and left Averil in center and Chapman and left battery being harder and cockless. Strike two on the hitter, Trainer. Ball one. Fastball is low outside. Cocklin doesn't throw that ball down towards third. Bobby thought he had a corner, but the count is two and one. Strike two and ball run. Here it is, a tip foul. Gets away from Cochran and the count remains. Strike two and ball one by Trainer. First man up for the match of the league in the last half of the seventh inning. Here it is. That's a high fly toward right field. It's Farrow and The cob remains 2 and 1. That was a long smash that hit the barrier in front of the scoreboard in white field bike. Trainer has the count of spike 2 and foil 1. Leading off for the Master League in the last half of the seventh inning. The American League 9, the National League 7. Defense a ground ball down, cross drop. Way deep short. Bowen Hagrid. 10. He found a beautiful long throw from deep short by Chloe Coleman. Carrick stretching full length inside that ball and Trainer was out by a step. A pretty play by Joe Coleman. That was perhaps the outstanding infield play of the afternoon. Up to now we say the outstanding outfield play was that catch of Pycron Carl early in the game. Chuck Klein is up there. Chuck, you know, hits him from the front side. He swings and misses a skip foul with Cochran held. That was a very pretty picture to gaze upon. Chuck Clyde. It all takes a fine swing. 12, third ball in flow. Outside ball running. Strike one. Strike one in the pit. Ball two if it's too high. High five of the seventh inning, one man and suddenly fired. American League 9, National League 7 it is. And step line is ball two. Strike two. Hanging around wrong place. Ball two and strike two. One out, nobody on last half of the shuttle. Mel Hart affecting. Cochrane catching as a lazy hopper down first. Gelling has it harder, covers the line. Art Galley go. Gets away and nine is safe. Error on the pool. Gary is given his guard with the error. That was a lazy hopper down. First base play. Gary Glam over to get the ball and crossing it underhand to Harder. Harder. Going at top speed, going justice. Judged his distance a bit and through to the right field side of first base. Harder. Had his fingertips on the ball but couldn't hold it. So of course Jerry will be quiet with an error. Something has happened down there. Joe Corin, Charlie Jer, Joan. An umpire morality. Oh, Joe. Joe Brook is back down there, I believe. I don't blame him for breaking a thread on that last play. He'd probably break a pair of Springers as well. That was a slow play. We had breakfast with Joe this morning and we saw that he was eating too much. But, well, anyway, Joe's ready to go and we're ready to go with the last half of the seventh inning. One man out. Chuck Ryan is on first. Go out is up. The score nine to seven. What do you think could happen? And the fans out here at the Polar Johns in New York are well aware of it. Carl Addle's up there, knocks the dust off his knees, gets right in there close to the plate and we're ready to go. He swings, it's a high bounder downstream over to Carrier, chuckling, slides into carrier and no further play. Puts the. Finally tossed the ball over to Jerry, but it was useless. That was one of those real high bombers. It founded about 20ft in the air. Truman came in fast, hooked it over to Carrier, getting set, flying on a four second and then stuck with the hard into second base and upset J a little bit, just enough to make it impossible for a play. He's under it. And Hartness retiring the National Leaguers in the seventh inning at the end of stretching the score. American League 9 to match the League 7. This game coming from the Polo Ground and is being sent to you by the National Broadcasting Company. Come in for us. The National League half. The seven started off with PI Traynor up to bat to face Mel Harder, the curveball artist. And PI Trainer banged one out to deep short where Cronin took ticket and shot it to Gehrig. And Trainer was out at first on a very, very close decision. But a beautiful play. DY Cronin taking that ball and shooting it over to Gehring. Then Klein came to bat. Chuck Klein, the heavy hitter of the cup and banged one hard down to Gehrig. Harder. Ran over to cover first. Gehry tossed it underhanded too. Harder. It just hit the tips of his fingers and bounded out. And Klan was safe on the error. Klan on first, then with one out, fell off, coming up to bat. One on and one out. Nell smacked one down to Corn Corant, off to Gehringer, forcing out fine. Gehringer shot it down to Gehrig, but up at feed to throw with one arm and two outlayer at that. Get a High fly with Kehrig. Came in and took retiring the side. And here we go into the American League half of the eighth. Here's Tom come in. Jimmy Fox, right hand. Enter his first up win. Dizzy Dean in the box. Lopez behind. And Fox takes a terrific putt at the first one and misses. Strike one. No changes as we start the eighth inning. Ball one. A fast ball is too high. Perry's on first, Billy Herman on second. Long short. Trainer third offs in right field. Paul Wehners in center and duck liners in left. That's correct. Has a long track high in the left field. Duck line is coming in and Vaughn going out and nobody is able to get through it. And Fox pulls up at second. Chuck Klein was playing over in deep left center field that time for Jimmy Clark. And always looking up towards the sun. So evidently he lost the ball in the sun, came over, tried to reach the ball with his outstretched rough hands. But justified about a foot. It is just restored as a two page box for Jimmy Fox. Al Simmons, another right hand batter is up next. All reliable. Al Simmons. Here it is, par one, First half of the evening. You know, nobody else. Fox down second, has two fastball, he's trying the outside corner on Al Simmons. Just barely missed with those two. There's the stretch, the pits. The swing happens over the stretch, the pits, swings. It's a wide and short left field. Bourne going out fast. He's under it and he makes a nice crossover hockey. Vaughn goes rather deep into left field to make that catch. Now with Thompson Simmons. In fact, Bill Terry, who's the manager today, at least has checkline play over in deep left center field. That was almost another hit for the American Leaguers. But hockey ball was able to travel back and put the ball over his shoulder in short left field. One man out. Joe Pullman is up there. A line splash in the right center field. Paul Winger goes over and makes the catch and whips it back into second base. It is taken there by occupying. But Fox get back. Bill Crowland fell with that ball. Right on the seam. Low line drive the ball later in right center. Mike Conklin is coming up. He's being announced over the loudspeaker as the manager of the Detroit Tigers, Mike Cock. Mike's doing a swell job over there too. Two men out, you know Fox is on second. Psych call. Dizzy Dean, tall right hander of the St. Louis Cardinals is in the box foul.

Tom Manning (186:58)

No purchase necessary VGW Group Void where prohibited by law 21 terms and conditions apply. Al Jack comes over, retrieves the bottle and flips it back over to Lopez. Lopez to the umpire. We're ready to go. Strike two on Mickey Chaplin. First half of the eighth inning. American League 9, National League 7. Two men out. Fox on second. There it is. 4 1. The battery started to walk toward the dugout. Strike 2 and ball 1. The battery attempted to call weapons for quick Holmes. He wouldn't stand for it. However, Mickey Cochran is holding his bat down there by the knees on the inside of the plate, indicating that he thought it was low inside. Anyway, the count is strike two and ball one. First half of the evening. Two men out. Dizzy Dean pitching at Lopez. Catching. Strike two. Ball run. Dizzy Dean steps off the rubber fox, goes back, touches second base. Dean then picks up the rosinbag. We're ready to go. Got a lot of canaries out here for the moment. Everybody whistling for trouble. No reason by the wall, marking Al Shack, Al sharks and all 50% of that great comedy team of Al, Shark and Scott. Oh. Al starts to whistle. Everybody seems to follow suit. Strike two. Ball zoo our Mikey Cochran. The pitch hit the ground ball. A lazy crowder down second in fast and smooth. A beautiful play and Cochrane is out at first. We carry the American Leaguers in the first half of the eighth inning. Ford well, it's now about 10 minutes past 4:00 clock and this baseball game started at 1:30 Eastern Daylight Saving Time. And for the 2 hours and 40 minutes it's been transpiring here in the Polo Ground between the American League All Stars and the National League All Stars and presented to you by the National Broadcasting Company from the Polo Ground here in New York, where we've just finished the first half of the eighth inning, the American League at bat. Fox came up and banged a high fly into left field. And Chuck Klein, who's been playing way out deep in left center, ran hard and fast, but couldn't quite get to it and went for a two base hit for Fox. Simmons came up, Simmons came up the and Vaughn backed out into left field and took a fly from Simmons almost in the same place on which Potts had gotten two bases. Then Corn came up the bat with one on and one out. Lined one hard at the center field. Paul Winter moved over very fast and speared it just as it threatened to go by. So there was two men down and still one on. Cochrane came up, Cochrane banged the flow and just right side. Now I'm about 20ft off second base. Herman came in fast, grouped it up on the fly tongue and wheeled it over to Terry, retiring the American league in the eighth. The score is American League 9, the National League 7. As we go into the National League half of the eighth inning with Bill Terry just coming up to bat. All right, Tom Manning come in. The American Leaguers battery, you know, has been one of the last half of the eighth inning. Mel Arider, the chief of minions is in the box. Mickey Fox of the Detroit Tigers, the captain and manager is behind the bat. Infield is the same, Fox is at third, Coleman at short, carrier at second and Jerry at first. The outfield is Chapman in right, Averell Stutter, Simmons in left. They're ready to go with Terry at left handed, head and left. Holds his back down a hip to park, but pulls it back and it's declared a strike. Carter's third ball catching the outside corner of the plate is up there and here's the pitch. That's a ball. Another curve ball down. The Rock carries feet and the count is ball one and strike one. It's the last half of the evening, the National Leaguers two runs behind, nine to seven. Here it is, a ground ball through the box. Throw him over. Nick the back takes it from. He's out. Another pretty play by Joe Coleman. That was the foul of the front pass. Fell harder and Coleman acted over close the second base cushion. Picked it up and went out of position. Whipped it over to Gary and Gary was out on a fast play. What nobody on? Nobody on. Hockey ball and left half hitter. All the Pittsburgh Pirates is up, hit the first ball, pitch down short. Conan comes up with it. The throw is wide. McKay reaches over, drags the ball, handing his out. Derek is getting a nice round of applause for that cast over first base. That was a scorching ground ball. And Joe Roland has to go to his left a little bit for it and pick it up with hatchet. Pass by, has to get born. Born goes down to first base like nobody does it, but it was a slow play. Two out, nobody on. Lopez is up, hits the first ball, takes a long drive close to the far line into the stand. First foul. That ball hit the stands out in right field. That was fouled by about a yard and a half. Strike one. Lopez had gone to first base and was on his way to second. But you can't run on foul balls. These umpires are right on their shoulders this afternoon. They've had some pretty headline decisions to make, particularly George Moliardi. George is overhead at turn now, a couple of close ones earlier in the game. Now he's over there at second and he's had a couple of buddy coachmans out there at second. The boys apparently are all satisfied with these young boys in blue this afternoon, are doing a sweet job out here. Lopez is back at the plate. He gets the next one. A high lazy bounder downstream. Gary Lopez is out at the end of the eighth inning, Poland, Bohitz and Morello at the end of eight innings, the score of the American League ninth, the National League seventh. It came coming to you from the hall of Grounds in New York City. It's being presented by the National Broadcasting Company. Come in for it. Well, the junior circuit certainly made short work of the elder league in the eighth inning here the National League came up with Bill Terry at bat and he banged out one of his usual hard points. Down to short, and Joe Cornan took it on the run, got it over to Gehrig and he was out. A sweet start. Stopped this man, Cronin. Then Vaughn came to bat and Vaughn got up closer down to deep torrent. Cornin got it right down between his ankles, picked it up through the first, and Garrick then drew a terrific round of applause by keeping his left foot on the bag, bending out, he looked like all almost two yards. And winging that ball at wide throw from Thorne, retiring Vaughn. And the crowd did show their appreciation of Lou Gehrig, as they usually do. There's not much get fat Lou's at first if it's within shooting distance of Lou's gloves. Then Lopez came to bat. Lopez banged one hard down between the short stop and third, third base about 18, 14, 6 to 8 yards. But Fox went over fast, took it, shot it across on that long peg from third to first, retiring Lopez. So they went down in 1, 2, 3 order. Terry Vaughn and Lopez in the National League half of the eighth inning. We're moving now into the ninth, ninth inning of this all star game with the American League coming to bat leading by two runs. They scored two runs in the fourth, sixth in the fifth and one in the for a total of nine while the National Leaguer scored one tally in the first inning, three in the third and three in the fifth. Trail now by seven, nine to seven is the score. With the American League coming up to bat here in the ninth inning, here's Tom Manning to give to you. Come in, Tom. One of the funny things of this ball game this afternoon, practically everybody out here has gotten into the ball game expected to on the side of the National League. Particularly so far Rick Farrell, Jimmy Dyche, Frank Higgins and West haven't broken into the lineup of the American League. All of the pitchers, practically all of the catchers, outfielders and infielders of the National League have had their turn now ready to go in the first half of the ninth inning. Early the field, the left hand batter is first up and Frank House, Frank House of the Boston Braves, then a right hander is on the mound for the National Leaguers. That seems to be the only change in the lineup as we play the 9th inning. National Leaguers infield of Curry, Furman Vaughn and trainer Lopez catching. Averill hits the Vex with a little pop fly to left field. Looks like a base hit. Vaughn going back. What a cat that was. What a catch. What a catch. All right, let's round applause. There you are, Radio France. Absolutely the outstanding ceiling play of this afternoon game. Insofar as we are concerned and I think that we have plenty to agree with it. Hockey ball a little short stop of the Pittsburgh Fire. Acceptance position on the that grouping liner a bit of a Texas figure by Earl Averill and went out and took that ball way out of the edge of the pavilion in the left field corner right at the very fingertips. Kept right on going and ran until he ran into the barrier in the left field corner. That was a sweet catch by Archie Bowen. Well, with more players like this on a diamond, anything could happen. One out shot Charlie Gehringer is up and the count is ball two. Frank out from the Morton Grays is 50. Ball three. Another one low outside three or nothing on Charlotte Garringer. Our intention being attracted for a moment as bright red silver planes flying over the hologram carrying your what? Carrying a walk down fourth Street. It's nice getting into a one out. Mel Harder is going up to hit. Harder's getting a nice round of the floor from the fans here. Mel Harder, you know, batsam right handers, Sense of sacrifice. It's a punch down first base way and it fouls. National Leaguers picked the ball up. Bill Terry picks it up and says come on fellas, up on your toes and whips it around. Now Frank Couch has it again and he is back in the box with a count. Strike one. Charlie Carringer has been on that space a lot this afternoon. Hyder again attempts to put it to pop fly. Lopez is under it and takes it. That ball was only about 2 or 3ft over his head and about 8 or 10ft towards first base. Lopez ripped off his mask, was under it. Charlie Gerrier, however, was close to first base and got back safely. Now we have two men out.

Tom Manning (200:18)

Last time up Penny Chaplin max one out to left center field, 455ft away, there's a pitcher, Lopez calling for a fit job, hoping to nip carrying her off first ball one. Ninth inning chaplain is up nine to seven. The American League it false over to first, no go. Any chaplain you know hits him right handed. A foul ball down the third baseline. And the count on Chapman is ball one and strike one. Lou Gehrig is up next. Here it is, ball two. A fast ball is high outside. On the count is ball two and strike one. Here it is long fly out to left field. Klein coming in, he stumbled but made the catch for the third out left. Client was playing very, very deep out there again. Had to come in for that ball and over to his right, over toward the foul line, but made a nice running Scott. Retiring the American Leaguers in the ninth inning. So the National Leaguers come to bat two runs behind in the ninth inning. We go into the last half of the ninth with the National League trailing with two runs. The American League half of the ninth started off with Frank House coming into the back to pitch for the Nationals was the first man to face him. Averill smacked a fly out right on the left field foul line just a couple of feet in. And Vaughn brought the crowd to their feet with a great play. A great, beautiful catch. Running out there, going back to his position at court and making an absolutely terrific, sparkling catch. There's almost no adjective that you can apply to that that would be too great or too superlative to describe Vaughn's great catch of Averil's. Fly out on the left field foul line here. Intersection came up and then got four straight and walked. So there's one on base and one out with no harder came up. Mel Harder came up and tried to punch, banged it down the first baseline and rolled foul. So he came back to the base, picked up his fat and again tried to pop it up just a few feet away from the home plate. Lopez ripped off his mat, went out there under it and took him for a nice catch. Making two men gone in the American League half of the night. Chapman, then Ben Chapman came up. Always a very dangerous batting order. He's Mike to fly the left field. Klein. Chuck Klein came in very fast, stumbled Gibson bringing the arch of the fans and now fly before he took it. But did take it, retiring the Americans to the 9th. And here we go into the National Decapit 9th. Failing by two runs, the American 9, the National 7. Come in, Thomas. Frank House is left and right hand on his up and he plays a beautiful front. Cochran is out there, pulls. He's out. He's out. Trying not to put the fans, some of them are howling their veterans close they're giving Cochran a nice hand on that play. Frankhouse dropped that, dropped that front perfect hole about 10ft out for the picture. Cochran ripped that mask off without picked that ball up and whipped it over to Gary and Frankhouse for a pitcher with 20 fast and getting DMer hurry that. That was 12 play to watch. One out. Willie Herman is up. Willie and O hits him right hand as harder as pitching. Cochrane catching. Oh, back. Strike one. Kelly Herman second base is up. Ninth inning, one man out. Not hard of his pitching. Mickey Cochran behind the bat infield. Gehrig first, Gehringer second, Stroman short and Fox third. Here's the pitch. The ground ball just inside the third baseback on the left field corner. It's a base knock. The ball turns off the wall. Simmons has it, puts it in the carrier. He flies, he's fake a double. Little Willie Herman back that one right on the hole table. Well, it's still a ball game. One man out of the ninth inning, two runs behind. Willie Herman is on second base. That was a peak of a hit. The ball struck just about one foot inside the bag with Jimmy Parker leaping for it. But of course he had both chance. Let's go over to get it. Ty Trainer, manager in third base for the Pittsburgh Pirates is up. Ball one. The fastball is high inside the American League battery since the fifth inning is bell harder sticky Cochran. That's a long drive up in the stands. But it's foul ball run and strike one with a smag up in the right field Stand. This by trailer. You know, is quite a ball player. Yes, indeed. He's a right hand hitter. And the count ball runs. Strike long. The pitch. Ball two. Harder. Football missed the outside corner and the count on Pike Schneider. Ball two and strike one. Willie Herman, you know, is on second base. One man out of the ninth inning, two runs behind Carter. Here it is. It's a spike called. That ball got away from Cochrane rule about four feet away. And now the count on Pye Crainer is ball two and strike two. 2 and 2 on Pike Crater. He gets him right handed, you know, there it is. He swings and it's a five to the outfield. Averell honor it. And takes it for the classic change out there on the outfield and it's not been announced. West is playing center field for the American Leaguers. And west made that catch. Hope you'll find me for that delay. We knew it wasn't Avery coming in on that center field in the strength inning. The Totter Mount west of the St. Louis Browns is playing center field for the American Leaguer. West made that catch, making it two out of the ninth inning, right around second base. And Seth Bryan of the Chicago Cubs. The left hand batter is coming up. Strike round, swinging, strengthening and all two men out. Billy Herman is on second base. The score, American League 9, National League 7, Ms. Boy Harder 6. A lot of baseball, 50, placing, dropping in the fifth inning. Strike one on the hitter. Strike two. He swings and misses that ball. That ball was down around the beach. The climb taking the long follow through swing. And now the count is strike two. That ball was down around the lead duck line. Taking it long, follow through swings. And now the count is strike two. Ninth inning nine to seven in favor of the American League. Two men out, Willie Herman on second. Chuck Fly, the mighty hitter is up, back to right. They feel that power into the sand. That ball is what we call a hook in golf. Started out there towards derring and then turns right over into the sand. Strike two. Last half of the ninth inning at all. The National League is two runs behind them. They have one run on the bag. Billy Herman at second base and Chuck Brian, a long distance hitter at the plate. Mel Harder is pitching, Cochran is catching. It's stretched and here it is. Hit the ball. A fastball is high outside and the count is strike two and ball run. Not a single fan has left this ballpark unless it was a doctor or something this afternoon. So if anything can happen at any time, any kind of a smash, car tire up, you know, strike two, ball on the pitch as it drives down. First base play. Carrick fumbles the ball, crosses it through harder. He is out of the close play and the ball game is over in favor of the American League by a score of nine seven. This is Kyle Manning saying good afternoon from the Polar Browns in New York. And here is Graham McAmy. Come in, Graham. Thanks, Tom. There are so many features in this ball game that we won't try to go into them at all. We'll it sins for the almost three hours, three hour ball game up to about one minute. The outstanding features in my mind now, just as I look back over the game were the pitching for the first three innings of that mighty pitcher, Kyle Hubbell. He was gorgeous out there in the box. And the fielding stunt of Archie Vaughn of Pittsburgh, those stand out in my mind besides some of the hitting, of course. Tell you who did the hitting and then the hitting and then we'll quit for the American League, men. Carringer got two singles, Dickey got a single. Simmons Got two doubles and a single. Cronin, a single and a double. Averill, a triple and a double. Fox, a single and a double. And Ruffing a single. Chapman, a triple. Of course, there was only a couple of them in the game all the time. They might have. Some of them might have done more for the National League. Frisch. Thank you. Fritz got a homer on the first ball pitch off lefty Gomez. Gomez didn't go so well today as he has been going through his American League season. Frisch got a homer and a single. Cat Trainer of Pittsburgh got his two singles. Nedwick got a beautiful long hold, ran up into the second field of these vans in left field. So he got a single try. And Billy Herman, who came into the game late, got a double. Those are the outstanding features of the game this afternoon. The other only other great, outstanding people was a tremendous length of the game, half, three hours of baseball and it was all fine here this afternoon. But it was a great game. The Americans have won again, as they did last year. Last year was 4 to 2. Today it was 9 to 7 in favor of the American League over the Nationals and the All Star Game played at the Polar Grounds in New York City. It's time to go now. The crowd is soon out on the field, all getting to the exit. And so will we. This Graham actually speaking. And we'll leave you now and just by telling you that the result of this game has been given to you by Tom Manning on Play by Play and Fort Barnes between innings. And I've had the pleasure being here too, and through the facilities of the national broadcasting doctor Goodbye. We wish to thank the makers of Ambrosia for relinquishing their broadcast period this afternoon in order that you might hear in its entirety. The program just concluded.
