  the 1934 baseball All-Star game was played at the Polo Grounds in New York City.
• 0:11
  It was actually the second year that the All-Star game was played, but it's the first game in which an audio recording still exists.
• 0:17
  the game featured an unbelievable 28 future Hall of Famers, and is well known among baseball historians for the performance of starting pitcher Carl Hubbell.
• 0:25
  Be sure to listen closely to the first inning when Hubbell strikes out five of the game's best hitters in succession.
• 0:31
  Hall of Famers Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmy Fox, Al Simmons, and Joe Cronin.

  Today we're out at the Polo Grounds, that historic old home of the New York Giants nestled in the Lee of Pugensbluff on the island of Manhattan.
• 0:57
  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.
• 1:05
  And boy, what an aggregation of Paul's daughters are wandering around there, down there on that field right now.
• 1:11
  the pick of the world, no question about that.
• 1:14
  the crowd is tremendous, the stands are packed all the way around. If you don't know the Polo Grounds, I'll just tell you quickly that it is a double-deck affair running about four-fifths to five-sixths of the way around the entire enclosure.
• 1:29
  There is only a small part of the grounds out in center field which is devoted to the bleachers.
• 1:35
  the rest is all double-deck grandstands.
• 1:37
  the grass looks as though it were absolutely as fine as the finest type of golf course green.
• 1:45
  It's perfect out there today and Henry Fabian has certainly done a great job.
• 1:49
  Every seat in the house is filled now, almost at least.
• 1:53
  I can't see any vacant seats any place from my place up here in the second tier off third base.
• 2:00
  It's just about a capacity crowd right now and undoubtedly every inch of the standing room will be taken before game time, which is in just a little less than fifteen minutes.
• 2:11
  the boys have drawn an absolutely perfect day for baseball.
• 2:15
  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.
• 2:27
  So it's just perfect all the way around. There's a slight breeze blowing, but not enough to affect fly balls in particular.
• 2:34
  You know, last year the first of these All-Star games was played out at Tremiskey Field in Chicago, and that ended with a victory for the younger league, the Americans, the final score being four to nothing.
• 2:44
  That day a young fellow who had his 20th birthday in big leagues baseball only the day before yesterday and who intends to quit as a regular at the end of this season,
• 2:53
  he broke up that ball game with a towering home run with a man on the pad.
• 3:00
  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.
• 3:08
  This is another year, however, and the National League is out to avenge that beating of 1933.
• 3:13
  the way that ball has been zipped around the bases so far, the dabbling infield plays, both teams have been pulling off, and the great running catches of long flies the outfielders have been snagging,
• 3:24
  it seems that a man must just be a magician to slap out a safe hit.
• 3:28
  But on the other hand, when you take a look at those batting averages of the two murderers rose, you must realize that they'll just snap into it one time or another and do the necessary to score some runs.
• 3:39
  And that's what the crowd.
• 3:43
  Leading off for the American League will be Charlie Geringer, whose 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.
• 3:58
  They've been on top once in a while, but the Yankees have managed to cross the Fourth of July, which is supposed to be the old deadline, across the Fourth of July in the league.
• 4:08
  the national batting order starts off with Frankie Fritz, the old Fordham Flack, manager of the St. Louis Cardinals.
• 4:15
  By the way, as we run along, those of you who want to take these names down, be sure to add your pencil and paper and you can get them.
• 4:20
  We're going to run over the batting order again a little when we finish.
• 4:25
  Frankie Fritz, 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.
• 4:36
  And his punch this year is at a 310-quid.
• 4:40
  Heini Manoush of the Washington Americans is second on the American batting order, and he'll be out there patrolling the left field garden.
• 4:47
  He's the only man posting a 400 batting average. His average is 402, by the way.
• 4:53
  He'll look all both stuff to those opposing pitches.
• 4:56
  Pye Trainor, Pye Trainor, third baseman to Prince George by.
• 5:01
  He's the new pirate manager, you know, and he'll take care of the hot corner for the Nationals.
• 5:06
  And if he can't do it, well then, just nobody can, that's all.
• 5:09
  He's hitting at a 352-quid, and he surely will play up to the great standards that he's set for years out there in Pittsburgh.
• 5:17
  Dave Bruce will be these old right field stands for the Americans, the man with the all-time record of 699 home runs in his major league career,
• 5:26
  and who probably has been given more intentional passes than any other man ever in baseball.
• 5:32
  For the bib, his batting average is very few near this year, 291.
• 5:37
  the Nationals' number three man is Joe Medley, who, with the Dean brothers and Frankie Frisch,
• 5:43
  is largely responsible for keeping the Cardinals up near the top.
• 5:47
  He's hitting 361.
• 5:49
  the American League has chosen Columbia Lue of the Yankees to fill the cleanup position,
• 5:56
  and Pyeke Kyler of the Cubs gets the call from the Nationals.
• 6:00
  Gary Gunn first at such an old institution, the little meat he's fed of him.
• 6:04
  He's baseball's iron man, and he's well in the running for both batting and home run leadership in his league.
• 6:10
  He's batting 369 at present.
• 6:12
  Pyeke Kyler is a right field ball hook, and he's scored the Willow-wielding average of 343 at present.
• 6:20
  Next for the Americans is Jimmy Foxx.
• 6:23
  We had thought he would not be playing, but he's going to play according to the official lineup.
• 6:27
  Of course, Jimmy is a great star and home run hitter for Connie Mack down in Philadelphia,
• 6:32
  and he's first basing is just too well known to need any talking about.
• 6:38
  Foxx is massaging the fellas at a 345 clip.
• 6:42
  He's playing third today for the Americans.
• 6:45
  Wally Berger, the Boston Braves' center fielder, is a real ball hook,
• 6:50
  one who gladdens the heart of Bill McKechnie as manager,
• 6:53
  and one of the principal reasons why the Braves are always a menace.
• 6:56
  He's hitting his free-16.
• 6:59
  Al Simmons of the White Sox of Chicago comes next in the Americans' batting order.
• 7:04
  He'll do the center feeling, a staff, utterly graceful fly chaser, and always dangerous at the plate.
• 7:10
  How many of us who were there will ever forget that athletic rally of 10 runs against the Cubs in the World Series several years ago,
• 7:17
  a rally started by Simmons' ringing home run against the left field stand.
• 7:21
  He batted twice in that inning.
• 7:23
  He's singing the ball for a 343 standing.
• 7:27
  Then we have Bill Terry on the Nationals.
• 7:30
  Memphis Bill, the manager and first backer of the Nationals.
• 7:33
  He places himself sixth in the batting order in spite of a fine average of 368,
• 7:39
  the highest of the national team regulars.
• 7:41
  As everyone knows, he's also manager of the world champion New York Giants,
• 7:45
  and he's out in front now in quest of his second pennant and, of course, his second World Series.
• 7:51
  Joe Conan of the Americans is not only manager of the team,
• 7:54
  but also manager of last year's American League champions, the Senators of Washington.
• 7:58
  Joe's pitching has fallen down on him a bit this year,
• 8:01
  but if those hurlers begin to click as they should, his team may be right up there yet.
• 8:06
  Joe will be in there doing a lot of shortstopping,
• 8:08
  and he's much more dangerous at the plate than his 283 average might indicate in this group of terrific super sluggers.
• 8:16
  Travis Jackson, Jackson of the Giants.
• 8:19
  He batted seventh for the Nationals.
• 8:21
  He's long been called the greatest shortstop in baseball,
• 8:24
  a player who seemed up to be all washed up last winter on account of trouble with his leg.
• 8:28
  But trouble just doesn't mean a thing to Jackson,
• 8:31
  and he's in there with his whip-forward arm tossing runners out from any and all positions
• 8:36
  and holding up his end with a bat with an average of 287.
• 8:40
  He's one of the most opportune hitters in the game today.
• 8:43
  Behind the bat, the Americans have Bill Dickens of the Yankees,
• 8:47
  and the Nationals have Gabby Harkness of the Cubs.
• 8:50
  Both powerful forward for their team,
• 8:53
  and a possessing fine arm to intimidate potential base dealers, and both have certainly –
• 8:59
  that's certain something that helps in steady pitchers at critical moments.
• 9:03
  Dickie is batting 322 right now with Harkness just exactly the same,
• 9:08
  so there's nothing to choose there.
• 9:10
  the backstopping will be well taken care of.
• 9:13
  Two of the truly great pitchers of today will oppose each other in the starting lineup,
• 9:17
  probably for three innings each.
• 9:19
  Signor Leslie Gomez of the Yankees and Carl Hubbell of the Giants.
• 9:24
  If these two are the starters, and I'm sure they will be now,
• 9:28
  there should be a southpaw battle for three innings at least.
• 9:31
  That'll be worth traveling mighty far to see.
• 9:34
  Gomez has already won 14 games for the Yankees,
• 9:37
  and Hubbell has a rating among many who should know as the greatest living pitcher,
• 9:42
  and by not a few as a man who is coming along to take his place as the greatest of all time.
• 9:48
  Man, also look at those batting orders.
• 9:51
  Not a soft spot from top to bottom.
• 9:54
  They're tough. Not the slightest chance for a pitching lead-up.
• 9:58
  Just groove one for any man in that lot, and bang, there goes your old ballgame.
• 10:04
  Will it be pitcher or will it be hitter?
• 10:06
  A difference of opinion, eh?
• 10:08
  Well, that's what makes Posh Racing.
• 10:12
  Aside from the players mentioned, the Americans have as a pitcher Red Ruffing of the Yankees,
• 10:19
  Tom Bridges of the Tigers, Mel Harder of the Indians,
• 10:23
  Tom Housmel is going pretty good, Tom Manning of Cleveland ought to know all about him,
• 10:29
  Jack Russell of the Senators, infielders, Frank Higgins of the Athletics,
• 10:34
  Jimmy Dyke to the White Sox, outfielders, Earl Averill of the Indians,
• 10:40
  Ben Chapman of the Yanks, and Sammy West of the Browns.
• 10:44
  Of course, Tom Manning thinks that both Mel Harder and Earl Averill should be right in there now,
• 10:49
  in the beginning of the game.
• 10:51
  But they're not, and we'll probably see them all later.
• 10:54
  Catching, Rick Sparrow of the Red Sox.
• 10:57
  I'm talking about extra players now, you know.
• 11:00
  the Nationals have pitchers, Lon Warnocky, that's great stuff for the Cubs,
• 11:06
  Dizzy Dean, who with his brother is keeping the Cubs right up near the top,
• 11:11
  Van Mungo from the Dodgers, and over in Brooklyn they think Van Mungo is the greatest pitcher in either league,
• 11:18
  and I'm not sure he is.
• 11:20
  With a lowly team this year, unfortunately, for the Dodgers,
• 11:24
  Van Mungo has been pitching great balls.
• 11:26
  Then they also have Fred Frankhouse of the Braves.
• 11:29
  There seems to be the general opinion around, among those who might know something about it,
• 11:34
  that the National League pitching will top the American League pitching today to some extent,
• 11:40
  but pretty soon you'll know all about it.
• 11:42
  As extra infielders in the Nationals, Pepper Martin of the Cards,
• 11:48
  he's that baby that went crazy in just about one of World Series all by himself a few years ago, three years ago, 31.
• 11:55
  Floyd Vaughn of the Pirates, we had thought that Floyd might go in, play in shortstop right away.
• 12:01
  As Jackson has had some eye trouble, but Jackson will start.
• 12:07
  Billy Harmon of the Cubs, outfielders for the Nationals, extra men, Paul Wehner of the Pirates,
• 12:13
  Mel Otter of the Giants, and Chuck Klein of the Cubs.
• 12:16
  Just think of a baseball team that keeps Paul Wehner, Mel Otter, and Chick Klein on the base.
• 12:21
  Boy, oh boy.
• 12:23
  Also an extra catcher, Al Lopez of the Dodgers.
• 12:29
  the umpiring today done today will be by Rick Owens and Doug Moriarity from the American League,
• 12:36
  and Charlie Berman and Dolly Scott of the National League.
• 12:43
  Besides its manager, Joe Coleman, the American team will have the services of Walter Johnson,
• 12:49
  the old master pitcher from Washington, you know.
• 12:52
  Walter Johnson will be on the coaching line, and Al Shax will also be on the line.
• 12:58
  For the American League.
• 13:02
  And the National League team will be similarly served by manager Bill McKechnie and manager Casey Stengel.
• 13:09
  Casey Stengel, you know, I remember one day out here when Casey Stengel slapped out two home runs in the World Series,
• 13:15
  one of all games for the Giants.
• 13:17
  What a day that was for old Casey. No doubt about that.
• 13:21
  Anyway, all together it looks as though a grand and glorious baseball game was going to begin
• 13:27
  very, very soon.
• 13:29
  the managers of the teams, the captains of the teams, and the four umpires have gathered around the whole place
• 13:35
  for a last-minute conference before this ballgame starts.
• 13:39
  I don't think there's a seat in the house.
• 13:41
  That means there must be somewhere in the neighborhood of 55,000 to 60,000 people crammed in the polar grounds
• 13:47
  this afternoon on one of the most beautiful baseball days you ever saw in your life.
• 13:53
  Both Gomez and Hubbell are down there left-handing them into their catches on the sidelines,
• 14:01
  getting warmed up for the game.
• 14:03
  And I want you all to know that in a few moments we'll turn the microphone over to Tom Manning of Cleveland.
• 14:10
  Tom, you know, has been telling you about World Series since time immemorial.
• 14:15
  And he's also going to give us play-by-play scoring today.
• 14:20
  Tommy Manning, that paratop redhead from Cleveland, Ohio.
• 14:24
  Yeah, quit that, Tom.
• 14:26
  And also with us is Ford Bond.
• 14:29
  Ford Bond has been telling you all about the baseball scores daily through this season.
• 14:34
  And he's been making a fine baseball game out of the news results following the game.
• 14:42
  Ford has been telling you about every game.
• 14:45
  They haven't missed a game yet, have they, Ford?
• 14:47
  No, he says he hasn't missed a game.
• 14:49
  Of course, if he falls out of this box he might miss tomorrow's game, but he will try to keep him in.
• 14:57
  the field has been cleared now.
• 14:59
  the boys are still standing around.
• 15:02
  the home plate, Joe Cronin and Bill Terry and I see Walter Johnson is there too.
• 15:10
  And I believe, I don't know whether it's going to be before the game or not, but I believe it will.
• 15:16
  It will be the unveiling of the tablet for John McGrath.
• 15:22
  John McGrath, the Little Napoleon, as he was called for many years,
• 15:26
  after the drapes have been pulled back from the tablet commemorating the history of John McGrath and the Giants.
• 15:34
  It's out in center field.
• 15:36
  the tablet to McGrath is located just above the tomb.
• 15:40
  Not the tomb, it isn't exactly a tomb, but the stone plaque out in center field at the center field exit
• 15:47
  which was erected some years ago for that world boy, Captain Eddie Grant, formerly of the Giants.
• 15:55
  Just above the memorial to Eddie Grant is a plaque to Chrissie Matthewsons,
• 16:03
  who many people say, many of the old enthusiasts claim was absolutely the greatest picture of all time.
• 16:10
  Rock Young also is in memory out there with another plaque next to Chrissie Matthewsons.
• 16:17
  Rock Young, you know, was that great outfielder of the New York Giants some years ago,
• 16:23
  and the Giants and the world locked in.
• 16:26
  Eddie Grant, Chrissie Matthewsons, and Rock Young, and now above all of these is placed the bronze plaque
• 16:33
  in memory of John McGrath, one of the greatest leaders of baseball men who ever lived,
• 16:40
  unquestionably, and one of the real old timers.
• 16:44
  He and Connie Mack were up to a short time ago were the only two of the real old timers left,
• 16:50
  and now we have but one, Connie Mack, who I believe is now in his 72nd year.
• 16:57
  I believe Connie is that old, but to know Connie you would never think he was that old.
• 17:04
  And it was a terrific blow to baseball, of course, to lose John McGrath,
• 17:09
  but he felt that he was not in good health.
• 17:12
  He resigned from his managership of the New York Giants, and they were his greatest love all his life.
• 17:19
  And it wasn't very long before it seemed that the body simply could not hold his soul any longer
• 17:27
  after he had lost his beloved Giants, and so he passed from it.
• 17:34
  Now this ballgame is going to start in just a very few moments,
• 17:37
  and I think Tommy Manning would like to warm himself up here talking for a few moments
• 17:41
  before this baseball game commences.
• 17:45
  Tommy Manning will tell you first about the play, the play-by-play through the entire game.
• 17:53
  Between innings, we have, Ford Bond will talk to us and give us some of the high spots inning by inning.
• 18:00
  After the game it will be my pleasure to come back again on the microphone
• 18:04
  and talk about the game to some extent. Not too long, I hope.
• 18:08
  And now Mr. Brian McNamee speaking, the National Broadcasting Company,
• 18:15
  the National Broadcasting Company is sending you the details of this game, and here's Red Tom Manning.
• 18:22
  Come in, Tom.
• 18:32
  Good afternoon, everybody.
• 18:34
  As James has told you, it is really a great day here at the Polar Grounds in New York,
• 18:38
  and what a ballgame we all anticipate.
• 18:41
  Before we get started this afternoon, I want you to know that Ford Bond is going to speak to you throughout the game,
• 18:47
  and if you don't mind, as William McNamee, of course, has given all of us so many fine thrills
• 18:53
  during his broadcasting career, we're mighty happy to send you today,
• 18:57
  and to congratulate William McNamee, today is his birthday, it's that night, Ford.
• 19:02
  That's right, that's right, James is celebrating a birthday,
• 19:05
  enjoying all of his presents and claiming, what is it, 26 or 24, that he was asking about a while ago.
• 19:10
  Well, the players are all walking out now to have their pictures taken,
• 19:13
  together with a few of the umpires, the national leaguers have come out.
• 19:16
  Today the National League are wearing their home uniforms,
• 19:20
  and of course each one of them decorated with their individual insignia of the teams,
• 19:24
  the cubic cardinals and the pirates and the giants, all of them down there.
• 19:27
  Just for a moment, while we have time, we're going to check through this batting order
• 19:30
  so that you have it firmly in your mind or on your sheet if you're following
• 19:34
  and keeping scores of the play-by-play account which will be given you by Tom Manning.
• 19:39
  We'll check through the American batting order here for the moment.
• 19:42
  Gehringer will lead off, Gehringer the second baseman on the American lineup today.
• 19:48
  This will be followed by Manning, and the crowd rings out with applause
• 19:53
  for that National League crowd as they stand out.
• 19:55
  They're all having their picture taken, almost as many ballplayers as there are photographers,
• 19:59
  but I think the photographers outnumber them.
• 20:01
  Manoush is second, then Ruth, third in the lineup,
• 20:06
  which is his usual place in the Yankees' batting order,
• 20:09
  followed by that thundering artilleryman who bombards almost every park
• 20:13
  that he gets into, 24 home runs so far this season, Lou Gehry.
• 20:17
  First four, Gehringer, Manoush, Ruth, and Gehry.
• 20:22
  Then fifth in the batting order and wearing the number five today is Fox,
• 20:27
  Manning third base here in the starting lineup,
• 20:30
  followed by that crashing center fielder, Simmons.
• 20:34
  Simmons is sixth and also wearing that number.
• 20:37
  Then Cronin, placing himself seventh in the batting order.
• 20:40
  He occupied fourth in the Senators' batting order of his home team.
• 20:44
  He's managing this club today, this American League club,
• 20:48
  and he's placed himself seventh in the batting order.
• 20:51
  Bill Dickey, the catcher, occupying the eighth place, and Gomez, the starting pitcher, the ninth.
• 20:57
  Now the players have broken up down there for the moment
• 21:00
  and are running up to their position,
• 21:02
  so we'll go through the National League batting order right quickly here.
• 21:05
  Fresh, leadoff man and second baseman of the National League team today.
• 21:10
  Schreiner, third baseman and occupying the second place in the batting order.
• 21:15
  Medwick, followed by Kyler, Kaikai Kyler, the right fielder.
• 21:20
  Then Berger, Perry, Jackson, next, who is playing short.
• 21:26
  the thought that Vaughn might start with Jackson, goes in the start.
• 21:29
  Hartnett, Gabby Hartnett, the catch-up catcher,
• 21:33
  who is starting off as catcher for the National League, is down there now.
• 21:37
  He's put on his protector and he's in guard,
• 21:39
  and Hubbell walks out and picks up a ball on the mound,
• 21:43
  and Hubbell occupying the ninth position in the batting order.
• 21:47
  They're warming up, now tossing over a few to Gabby Hartnett, who wings it back,
• 21:51
  and the infielders are tossing the ball around.
• 21:53
  It goes over to Bill Terry, he wings it across on the ground,
• 21:55
  over to Pied Schreiner on third.
• 21:59
  Getting just about ready, and Gehringer, the second baseman,
• 22:02
  leadoff man for the American League team,
• 22:05
  is up there now measuring his batting feeling of it,
• 22:08
  and here's Tom Manning to give you the start of this great game,
• 22:11
  the all-stars of the American and National Leagues,
• 22:14
  and he's got his bat with Gehringer up there at the plate, and here's Tom Manning.
• 22:18
  Well, just about steps are going on.
• 22:20
  the tournament is behind the plate, umpiring.
• 22:22
  the tournament is the National League, you know.
• 22:24
  Short quality of the American League is at third.
• 22:26
  Rick Owens is at first, and Dolly Stock is at second base.
• 22:29
  Dolly Gehringer steps into the battered box.
• 22:32
  Here's the windup.
• 22:33
  the big Paul Hubbell and the first ball kick.
• 22:36
  It's a foul down first base, right one.
• 22:39
  the ball is received over there by Robert Johnson,
• 22:42
  the
• 22:46
  second baseman Indian, and with a lay from on with the ball,
• 22:48
  got away from Walder, and Phil Perry, manager and first baseman of today's game,
• 22:53
  finally receives the ball across the back to the National League dugout.
• 22:56
  Now ready to go again.
• 22:58
  Gehringer up, you know, spikes one.
• 23:00
  Foul, a fast ball,
• 23:02
  lifts to the outside corner of the plate,
• 23:04
  just a little bit too high.
• 23:06
  That one was not quite as fast as the first ball that Hubbell talked in there,
• 23:10
  Ball one and strike one on Charlie Gellinger.
• 23:14
  You know that great second baseman will be Detroit Tigers.
• 23:17
  Here it is. Ball two.
• 23:20
  Another hook ball. This is the outside corner of the plate.
• 23:23
  Hubbell stood there, bending down for a moment, looking in.
• 23:28
  Now that's the ball and the count on Charlie Gellinger.
• 23:32
  Ball two and strike one. Here it is.
• 23:36
  It's a base hit. Frankie Crick drives to the ball and a foul in the center field.
• 23:41
  It's Bumble Gellinger's bounding first going to second and close the goal.
• 23:45
  He's safe. He's safe at second base.
• 23:48
  That will be scored as a single for Charlie Gellinger and an error for center fielder Wally Berger.
• 23:58
  Charlie Gellinger with a top ball two and strike one.
• 24:01
  He's stopped him through the end field. Frankie Crick, the manager of the state, who was part of his playing second base,
• 24:07
  goes along the ground. It got Charlie missed his fingertips.
• 24:10
  Rolled on out in the center field where it was Bumble by Berger.
• 24:14
  Charlie Gellinger playing heads up around the first base and it was awful off of post at second.
• 24:19
  He split in and he had jacked him around the ground, but he is safe. He is on second.
• 24:24
  Now we have Hiney Manu, the left-hander of the Washington Senators.
• 24:28
  A big, off-key left-hand hitter is up. Hiney, though, is the only major leaguer who has a batting average of 402.
• 24:37
  the first pitch is a foul outside.
• 24:40
  Strike three. Hiney Manu was not giving on Bumble.
• 24:45
  He's gone from all the way back and the fouls aren't Hiney Manu.
• 24:49
  the second man up in the first inning.
• 24:51
  Ball one and strike one.
• 24:54
  Charlie Gellinger on second base. Nobody else.
• 24:57
  Here's the pitch. It's a foul.
• 25:00
  Hiney Manu taking almost a half-string.
• 25:03
  Gabby Hartman going around pointing his finger to the umpire with the ball in his hand.
• 25:08
  the umpire had called it a foul.
• 25:12
  So the count on Hiney Manu, a left-hander, is ball two and strike one.
• 25:17
  Here's the pitch. He swings. He misses.
• 25:20
  Strike two.
• 25:22
  Hiney Manu's quite taking a long cut-ass apron on God of Many Hazards.
• 25:27
  High on that right field.
• 25:29
  Please return to the ball of ground.
• 25:31
  It's 294 feet from home plate and about 15 feet high.
• 25:35
  the count on Manu, ball two, strike two.
• 25:37
  Nobody else. Gellinger on second.
• 25:39
  Here it is. Hubble pitching. Ball three.
• 25:41
  A hook ball with just a little bit low on the outside.
• 25:45
  Now the count on Hiney Manu. Ball three and strike two.
• 25:49
  It's the first inning of this all-star ball game at the ball of ground in New York.
• 25:53
  National Broadcasting Company sending you the description.
• 25:56
  Nobody else. Gellinger on second.
• 25:58
  Hiney Manu's with a count ball.
• 26:00
  Three, strike two. Something's got to happen.
• 26:03
  Here it is.
• 26:05
  It's a ball. A ball that was over the plate but just a little bit low.
• 26:09
  And Hiney Manu's lost.
• 26:12
  Now we have Hiney on first.
• 26:14
  Gellinger on second and the mighty Sultana Scott. Listen to that cheer for Faith Lue.
• 26:31
  Just at the moment, manager Bill Perry, Frankie Fritz,
• 26:35
  Travis Jackson, high trainer, a wall in there around Paul Hubble,
• 26:39
  and they're having, as Bill Mundy would say, a hook-bop gutter shooter in Hubble.
• 26:43
  And by the way, Bill Mundy is here with us in the box today.
• 26:46
  And a little later on, we're going to have Bill come over and say hello to you.
• 26:50
  I know you'll all be anxious to hear him.
• 26:52
  Ball players may come and they may go,
• 26:54
  but here is the king of them all in the battered box,
• 26:57
  pulling that old bat up and down enough to duck off his shoes,
• 27:00
  and he's ready to face the great Paul Hubble.
• 27:02
  the pitch hits his plate over the heart of the plate.
• 27:05
  Top ball strikes on Bay Route.
• 27:08
  It's the first inning, you know. Nobody else.
• 27:10
  Tiny Manouches on first, putting some of the base on ball.
• 27:13
  Charlie Gellinger is on second base.
• 27:16
  Here's the pitch.
• 27:18
  Ball is outside.
• 27:20
  4-1 and strike one.
• 27:23
  Fans are all yelling, the American League fans are forced.
• 27:27
  the crowd is split here.
• 27:29
  And there the American League fans are forced to pull in for base
• 27:32
  to park one of the bleachers, one-on-one the pitch.
• 27:34
  He swings, he misses.
• 27:36
  It's a strike.
• 27:37
  Bay Route swung from way back on that one.
• 27:40
  He was aiming for it someplace over in Scroog and Scruff.
• 27:43
  I don't know, but he was certainly swinging from way back.
• 27:46
  Strike two and ball one is the count.
• 27:49
  Tiny Manouches on first.
• 27:50
  Charlie Gellinger is on second.
• 27:52
  Nobody is out.
• 27:53
  Paul Hubble, the great master league south ball, the giant is in the box.
• 27:57
  Here it is.
• 27:58
  Strike three, strike three, he's out.
• 28:13
  Boy oh boy what a thrill to see 60,000 fans shot out of the back.
• 28:18
  the mighty Bay Route is up there and with the master leaguers
• 28:22
  nervous with runners on first and second in this important ball game.
• 28:25
  Bay Route coming up there and with a count two and one.
• 28:28
  Kyle Hubble hooked one over the inside corner.
• 28:31
  the Bay pulled away and it was a called strike.
• 28:35
  Now we have one man out.
• 28:37
  But it isn't all over yet.
• 28:38
  They're all sluggish.
• 28:39
  Lou Gehrig is up and we're ready to go.
• 28:42
  Lou Gehrig knocks it up, Dauphin's shoes pull down, it's tapped,
• 28:45
  man takes his stand in there, hits the ball high outside.
• 28:50
  This boy, Gehrig, you know, is plenty responsible for the position
• 28:54
  of the New York Yankees in the American League.
• 28:56
  Here's the pitch.
• 28:57
  He brings the message, strike two.
• 29:08
  Lou Gehrig, the mighty hitting first backer of the New York Yankees
• 29:12
  is up there with runners on first and second.
• 29:15
  One man out.
• 29:18
  Foul, that was low inside.
• 29:21
  They're all ready to push it, but it's both low inside
• 29:25
  and out of the count and ball two and strike one.
• 29:30
  Gabby Hartman of the Chicago Cubs is the catcher.
• 29:34
  Kyle Hubble is in the box.
• 29:35
  the first inning, one man out, no score, runners on first and second.
• 29:40
  Here's the pitch to Gehrig.
• 29:42
  It's too low.
• 29:44
  Foul three.
• 29:46
  Brad Hartman, Kyle Hubble, he's working awfully hard out there.
• 29:51
  And well he should, the little ray of sluggers coming up.
• 29:58
  Jimmy Foxx is hanging around home plate.
• 30:00
  You've all heard of course of Jimmy Foxx.
• 30:02
  Dave Luce, Lou Gehrig, Jimmy Foxx following in a row.
• 30:07
  Murderous throw, make no mistake about it.
• 30:09
  Three and one is the counter.
• 30:10
  Here's the pitch.
• 30:11
  Hits it straight, tucks that ball right down the old alley.
• 30:14
  Gehrig has elected to work out his string with Kyle Hubble and all the count is ball three and strike two.
• 30:20
  It is very possible now that Gehrig around second,
• 30:23
  Manu John first will be off with the picture in motion.
• 30:26
  However, we have but one out.
• 30:28
  We shall see the attack of Bill Cullen on his next play.
• 30:31
  Three and two, you're off.
• 30:33
  Manu has a big lead off first.
• 30:34
  Where they go, they're running.
• 30:35
  Gehrig swings, he misses, he breaks out.
• 30:39
  But the double field was attempted and Gehrig is putting just ahead of the ball.
• 30:43
  And it's safe.
• 30:44
  By trainer, the third baseman for the National Leaguers is now arguing with umpire George Moriality.
• 30:50
  That was very, very close to Gehrig's swing and missed the first strike.
• 30:54
  And with the runners off with the picture in motion and all the count was three and two,
• 30:58
  and they were off, and Charlie Gehringer stood in just ahead of that throw.
• 31:02
  It was very, very close to George Moriality of the American League.
• 31:06
  That is goal right over that play at third base and declared Charlie Gehringer safe.
• 31:11
  It's a stolen base for Gehringer and a stolen base for Heine Menuh.
• 31:17
  Manager Bill Perry, Travis Jackson, and several of the other boys off walked over as far as the picture's box.
• 31:23
  But the argument at third base is over.
• 31:25
  They are now planning the attack on Jimmy Foxx, one of the greatest right-hand hitters of all time.
• 31:31
  While we have a moment, let us keep you in the picture again.
• 31:33
  It is the first inning of this all-strap ball game in the Polar Grounds of New York City.
• 31:37
  Charlie Gehringer is on third base. Heine Menuh of the Washington Senators is on second.
• 31:43
  We have two men out and that mighty hitter, Tom Coney Mack, Philadelphia athletic, is now at the plate.
• 31:50
  Carl Hubbell is winding up. Here's the picture Foxx. He swings, he misses.
• 31:55
  Like one, Boy Harvest Hubbell is burning him across the plate.
• 31:59
  Picking his old heart out there for the cause of the National League.
• 32:03
  Striking out with those two great hitters, Payne Bluth and Luke Garry, two men out,
• 32:08
  runners on second and third, Foxx is up.
• 32:11
  Strikes the pitch, ball one.
• 32:14
  That was a curve ball that bit the inside and accounted for one and strike one on Jimmy Foxx.
• 32:20
  Jimmy Foxx is playing third base for the American Leaguers this afternoon.
• 32:27
  Here's the windup again, ball one, strike one.
• 32:31
  It's a foul, foul up over the stands in the backhand to count on Jimmy Foxx in strike two.
• 32:36
  Gabby Harkness gets a new ball from O'Fyre Furbin and whips it down to Pye Crane of the Third.
• 32:42
  Crane takes his trouble, rubs it up a little and then runs halfway over to the picture Foxx where he crosses it to Carl Hubbell.
• 32:49
  Boy, what picking this trouble is doing out there. the first two men are up, down, on and then he's struck out.
• 32:55
  Bluth and Garry, and here's the pitch, strike two and ball one. Ball two, ball two.
• 33:01
  It was high outside and the count on Jimmy Foxx is strike two and ball two.
• 33:06
  Close score again in the first half of the first inning. Two men out.
• 33:10
  Garryger is on third, Manouche is on second and Foxx is up, two and two.
• 33:15
  And here it is, the pitch. He brings it, he goes, he goes, he's struck out.
• 33:20
  Boy, oh boy, oh boy, he's struck out. Three strikeouts for Carl Hubbell. Come in for a con.
• 33:28
  A ball player's dream, yes, for a manager's dream, and a pitcher's nightmare.
• 33:33
  That's what this is when you face these murderers' roles that come out here at a fast.
• 33:37
  And what an achievement that was of Carl Hubbell right here in this first inning.
• 33:41
  Here is a resume of what happened, just to go over it briefly.
• 33:44
  the American League first inning, character leading off, the count goes to two and one and he snaps a shot, single to center field,
• 33:50
  going into second base on Berger's error in center field, and he's led hot into second there with Fritz receiving a throw and the umpire called him safe.
• 33:58
  Single and an extra base on Berger's error.
• 34:02
  Then Manouche comes up and it goes to three and two, and then the next one sails over, is a ball, and Manouche walks, and it's two men on base.
• 34:10
  And nobody out, and then it's two, that big conference there in the infield with Bill Terry.
• 34:15
  Come over to find out how you saw a pitcher, Carl Hubbell, what's going to do with two men on, and then these two murderers coming up, Dave Ruth and Gary.
• 34:23
  Well, Ruth steps up there, the count went to one and one ball and two strikes, and then the babe's standing there looking at one,
• 34:29
  and it comes over and the umpire's hand goes up in the air, and the man is out. Yes, sir. Dave, called out on site.
• 34:35
  Gary comes up, and he goes out swinging, and Gehringer and Manouche go down to second and third, third and second and second.
• 34:42
  And then Jimmy Fox comes up and strikes out a great achievement, Carl Hubbell. Here we go into the second half of first inning, Tom Manning.
• 34:48
  Mikey first is up, second base, swing it over, manager to St. Louis Cardinals, Mikey Batson right handed.
• 34:55
  Lepsey Gomez is in the box for the American Leaguers. Mikey gets a home run, going, going, going, hits high, up into the pieces,
• 35:05
  and a home run, a home run for Frankie Frech, Mr. Watzwau. Yes, indeed, Frankie Frech certainly got a hold of that one,
• 35:29
  and parked it in the upper deck of the right field pavilion, directly up about 40 feet above the 395 foot sign.
• 35:38
  That ball was well hit, and now we have Pye Trainer up, another right hand batter.
• 35:43
  Strike, home, that was a curved ball that Gomez had over the outside corner of the plate, and the count on Pye Trainer is strike one.
• 35:52
  the next one, it's a ball, high outside, and the count is ball one, and strike one.
• 36:02
  Just imagine what we've seen here in the first inning so far. Sorry, oh boy.
• 36:07
  It's a foul up the serves and back of the plate, and the count on Frankie Frech is strike two, and ball one.
• 36:14
  Frech steps out of the box for a moment, knocks the dirt off his shoes, and then steps back in there again.
• 36:21
  What he finds, that's a goal man walking around the second base side of the box, mumbling the rosin bags.
• 36:28
  But now we're ready to go, strike two and ball one on Pye Trainer.
• 36:32
  Between the misses, it was a tip ball that got away from Bill Dickey, so the count remains strike two and ball one.
• 36:40
  Well the Max DeLeacus are out of the court now, of course, by the score of one to nothing.
• 36:44
  This is the last half of the first inning. Nobody on, Frankie Frech, first up, smacks out a homer.
• 36:50
  Has the ground ball down, second base play, Goehringer is up with it, passes to Gary Haines.
• 36:56
  Pye Trainer is out at first, one man out, and nobody on.
• 37:01
  That was a nice play by Charlie Goehringer. Charlie, of course, makes a lot of brilliant plays down there at second base.
• 37:06
  He had to run over Pye to his right, and he whips the ball underhand, full high to Lou Gehrig.
• 37:13
  We have one man out, and Joe Medwick is up.
• 37:18
  Joe Medwick, also the same little start, he bats him right handed, hits the first ball, hits a high, flies into the left field.
• 37:25
  Men whose coming over, Coleman going out.
• 37:28
  Coleman ran all the way out near the stands, but Josh failed to make the catch, and it is a strike.
• 37:35
  Coleman went a long way out for that one.
• 37:38
  Heidi Menuh is playing over in deep left center field for Joe Medwick, and the ball was hit just alongside of the creatures out here in the left field corner.
• 37:48
  Joe Coleman just barely had his fingertips on that ball, but couldn't hold it.
• 37:52
  Players are walking back to their positions rather slowly now. Heidi Menuh is back to left field, and Coleman and Fox coming in to third and short.
• 38:00
  Now ready to go again.
• 38:02
  Leslie Gomez in the box. Medwick is up.
• 38:05
  Fights on the pitch. It's a foul.
• 38:08
  Up over the first box, and the count on Joe Medwick is strike two.
• 38:13
  Last half of the first inning.
• 38:15
  the National Leaguers won the first game.
• 38:18
  Strike two. Last half of the first inning. the National Leaguers won. American Leaguers nothing.
• 38:27
  Joey Medwick, one of the finest looking young ball players to come up in years, is at the plate.
• 38:32
  Strike two, and here's the pitch.
• 38:34
  Wings! And misses.
• 38:38
  He thought it was a tip ball, but it was not. He is still claiming it was a tip ball.
• 38:42
  Nicky dropped the ball and tagged him out, but Medwick is still talking to the umpire, but the umpire says it was not a tip ball, and he has declared out a strikeout.
• 38:55
  Now we have two men out and nobody on.
• 38:57
  Joey Medwick thought that he tipped that ball, but if he did, the umpire did not hear it, and it was the third strike swinging.
• 39:06
  Two outs, nobody on.
• 39:08
  Ty Ty Carter, the Chicago Cubs, is a high interlocutor batting in right-handed this afternoon.
• 39:14
  Ty is quite a ball player. He's been up a long time, and Benny Innsbill is given the Master League Bench.
• 39:23
  Ball! High outside.
• 39:26
  Nick hits the plate, and it's ball two.
• 39:30
  Ty Carter is up there the last half of the first inning.
• 39:33
  Two outs, nobody on, and it's not a ball two.
• 39:37
  the second inning, if a crowd is on shortstop weight, Bullman comes up with it, tosses it to Kerrigs, and Tyler is out at first.
• 39:44
  Patrick Tire, the Master League is in the first inning, has one run, on one hit.
• 39:48
  At the end of the first inning, the Master League has won, the American League has nothing to win for.
• 39:54
  And what a thrill rang through these fans when Frankie Frisch stepped up to that plate.
• 40:00
  A ball shot over, and it was called a ball, and he settled himself, gave a hit to his fans, wiped his hands on the dirt, picked up that bat, leaned over the plate,
• 40:09
  and looked at the next delivery that Gomez shot in, and wanged it high, hard, and far into the upper deck of the right field fans for a thrilling over.
• 40:17
  And how that guys lifted the fans out of their seats, a thrill when that ball leans to the back of the bat and smashes straight and direct for those upper right field fans.
• 40:27
  So a run came in, and Gomez settled down, Boehner, the second man in the National League batting order, came up, the count went down to second base,
• 40:34
  Kerrigs came over, gave it up fast, shot it to Kerrigs over on first, and he was out.
• 40:39
  One out, he's in the National League's first inning.
• 40:41
  Then Medwick, Medwick came to bat, shut down, Tyler came up, shot it down to corn, he's out corn to Kerrigs, and here we go with Simmons up at bat, I believe,
• 40:50
  in the second inning, and Tom Manning coming in to give it to you.
• 40:53
  Kyle Hubbell with the softball, the Giants is in the box again, Al Simmons, the right-hand hitter, is up the pitch, ball one, a fast ball, was high on the outside.
• 41:02
  As we went to the first half of the second inning, the National Leaguers are out in front by the score of one to nothing.
• 41:07
  Al Simmons leads off for the Americans in the second inning.
• 41:11
  He swings and misses, a mighty swing, turning all the way around, that's a beautiful pivot to know that Simmons has.
• 41:17
  Biggest pose in the dirt, swings all around, and the count is four to one, and strike one.
• 41:23
  Manager Joe Cronin is hanging around home plate, coming up next, the pitch, strike two!
• 41:31
  Al Ozzetto, screwball, came in there, stole the high, and then dove down, and Simmons swung over it, and the count is strike two and four to one.
• 41:42
  First man up for the American Leaguers in the second inning.
• 41:49
  Here's the pitch, he's out, he's swinging, strikes out, one dog.
• 41:55
  That was a change of pace off of the tall hubbell, had in there, letter high, Simmons took a good throw home and swung.
• 42:02
  Boy, that constitutes some sort of a record.
• 42:06
  Dave Lujerich, Jimmy Fox, and Al Simmons all striking out in succession.
• 42:13
  Boys and girls, this boy hubbell is a pitcher.
• 42:17
  Joe Cronin is up there, he hits him right handed, you know.
• 42:20
  the first is a foul up and back.
• 42:22
  Up on top of the first box, and the count on Joe Cronin is strike one.
• 42:28
  Mermencroft has got another new ball, Gabby Hartnett whips it down to Phil Carey at first, Carey rubs it off a little bit, and then drops it over to Kyle Hubbell.
• 42:37
  First half of the second inning, one to nothing in favor of the National Leaguers.
• 42:42
  One man out, and nobody is on.
• 42:44
  Here's the pitch to Cronin, strike two, swinging.
• 42:51
  That old blue ball to Kyle Hubbell is working in there beautifully this afternoon. It must be when you strike out four hitters like that.
• 42:59
  Blue, Carey, Fox, and Simmons.
• 43:01
  Now he has a count two and nothing on Joe Cronin.
• 43:06
  One man out, nobody on.
• 43:07
  the pitch, it's too high, four to one.
• 43:11
  That was just about the fastest ball that hubbell has tossed in there this afternoon with a count two and nothing.
• 43:18
  He's a smart pitcher, you know. He whips that fast one in there.
• 43:22
  Here's the pitch again, two.
• 43:26
  White three, swinging. He's struck about.
• 43:30
  Five strikeouts in a row for let's see how the National League.
• 43:42
  Back to the second inning, the American Leaguers are left back, and we have two men out and nobody on.
• 43:51
  the benefit of those who have just tuned in, Kyle Hubbell has struck out the last five batters.
• 43:57
  Here's Phil Dickey, strikes the hole up in front of the first box, and it's strike one.
• 44:02
  Phil Dickey, back from left-handed.
• 44:09
  Phil Dickey, you know, is a great hole, clean catcher of the New York Yankees.
• 44:14
  Ball, that was a hook ball that got away from Hubbell.
• 44:18
  It was outside and a little bit low, and the count is ball one and strike one.
• 44:23
  What a ball game we're watching.
• 44:26
  Ball one and strike one.
• 44:28
  There's the windup, two out, nobody on.
• 44:32
  Strike two, ball.
• 44:35
  That's the ball that Phil Dickey pulled away from, and it broke over the heart of the plate, or it falls straight.
• 44:41
  And the count now is strike two, ball one.
• 44:45
  the American Leaguers batting in the second inning, two out, nobody on.
• 44:50
  Here's a pitch, strike two, and ball one.
• 44:52
  He's banged it into the base, hit into left field.
• 44:55
  A base hit into left field, the ball is received by Medwick.
• 44:58
  He tosses it into Skavitz, Gatcham at second base, and Dickey stops at first.
• 45:04
  That's the second hit of the afternoon for the American Leaguers.
• 45:08
  And now, Gresti Gomez, who is in the box for the American Leaguers, comes to the plate.
• 45:19
  the score, the National Leaguers one, the American Leaguers nothing.
• 45:23
  It's the first half of the second inning.
• 45:25
  Two men have been retired, and Phil Dickey is on first.
• 45:28
  Gomez swings and pulls back all the way down to Phil Curry at first base.
• 45:33
  Phil Curry picks the bat up and is walking all the way in the home plate.
• 45:37
  He doesn't throw it back, but he's walking all the way in the home plate.
• 45:41
  And Curry definitely hands the bat to Gresti Gomez and makes some kind of comment.
• 45:49
  Yes sir, Phil Curry picks that bat up right from his to Dickey at first base
• 45:53
  and walks all the way into the batter's box.
• 45:55
  And standard to Dickey to let go of it.
• 45:57
  Strike one at the count, two out, Dickey on first pitch.
• 46:00
  Strike two, he wins.
• 46:02
  That was a long follow through, a very beautiful golf swing that Gresti Gomez had on display that time.
• 46:09
  Strike two is the count to go.
• 46:11
  Two men out and Phil Dickey is on first.
• 46:14
  Donnie Carrier hanging around home plate.
• 46:17
  Here's the pitch.
• 46:18
  Strike three, swinging.
• 46:20
  Gresti Gomez, the pitcher of the American Leaguers,
• 46:24
  struck out making his sixth strikeout for the Power Hubbell of the basketball league.
• 46:30
  the score one to nothing, the segment of the first half of the second inning.
• 46:33
  Come in for it.
• 46:34
  the American Leaguers half of the second inning started off with Simmons up.
• 46:38
  And of course the fans hanging onto the edge of their seats with Simmons at bat.
• 46:42
  After Hubbell had struck out Ruth and Gehrig in the first inning,
• 46:46
  so Simmons came up, the count went to one ball and two strikes, one and two on him.
• 46:50
  And then he swung hard and collected an awful lot of air on the end of his bat.
• 46:54
  the fourth strikeout for Hubbell.
• 46:55
  Then Joe Conan came up.
• 46:57
  the count went at one and two on him and he whiffed with a vicious cut at that ball,
• 47:03
  missing it, making the fifth man.
• 47:05
  Then Phil Dickey came up.
• 47:07
  Sure fire hitter Phil Dickey, a great catcher, and the American League catcher this afternoon.
• 47:12
  And he wanged the ninth Little Texas Leaguers out into left field just over the shortstop head
• 47:17
  and not far enough up for Medwick to do anything about it out in left field for a single.
• 47:21
  Gomez came to bat.
• 47:23
  Gomez who's had that contrast on with Johnny Broca of the Yankees
• 47:26
  to see who could get the most hits this season.
• 47:28
  So far Gomez has had five and he's struck out three straight.
• 47:31
  So here we go into the National League half, the second inning, and here's Tom Manning to give it to.
• 47:36
  Wally Burger, right-handed with his first up, he swings at the first ball,
• 47:40
  hits it at the foul, up and back, strike one.
• 47:43
  That's the Gomez, you know, is in the box for the American League,
• 47:46
  here's Phil Dickey behind the bat.
• 47:48
  We have a moment for those who just tuned in.
• 47:50
  Gehrig is at first, Gehrig in at second,
• 47:52
  Bolamic short and Jimmy Fox to be athletic at third.
• 47:57
  the outfield is Rooks, Simmons, and Manning.
• 48:00
  Strike two, swinging.
• 48:04
  Wally Burger, you know, is one of the long-distance hitters of the Master League.
• 48:08
  Well, as far as that's concerned, everybody out here is a long-distance hitter today.
• 48:12
  Burger's the first man up for the Master Leagueers and the last half of the second.
• 48:16
  the pitch, the long spank is foul in left field.
• 48:20
  the long spank is far high over the pavilion in left field,
• 48:24
  and the hit is strike two on Wally Burger.
• 48:33
  So it's one and nothing, you know, in favor of the Master Leagueers,
• 48:35
  and we tell the Frankie Fishers home run.
• 48:37
  Frankie Fishers was the first man up for the Master Leagueers in the first inning.
• 48:41
  Focked it in the upper deck of the right field, stands for Homer.
• 48:44
  Strike three, Wally Burger, and strike two on swing.
• 48:50
  That's the second strikeout of the afternoon.
• 48:54
  Bill Piper is coming up. Bill gets a great ovation from the crowd as he steps to the plate.
• 48:59
  Bill is well-liked here in New York City, and he's trippy.
• 49:04
  Bill is a great ballplayer.
• 49:06
  Bill is the manager of the Master Leagueers today.
• 49:08
  He's a left-handed hitter, the first pick. By long, a fast ball is outside.
• 49:17
  Travis Jackson, drop-stop and captain of the Giants, is next.
• 49:21
  There's a long smash in the center field, but Simmons coming in.
• 49:25
  Simmons is under it. He has it.
• 49:30
  Very, very high-price center field.
• 49:32
  Al Simmons can always usually farm in left field.
• 49:35
  Or, as you saw, the white top is open center field this afternoon with 90-minutes playing left.
• 49:42
  Travis Jackson, short-stop of the Giants, a right-hand hitter, is next up.
• 49:50
  They said last one of them, Jackson, was all warmed up on account of a bad knee,
• 49:54
  but that knee is plenty down this year, and he's playing a player-of-a-game.
• 49:58
  Strike, swinging.
• 50:00
  That was a fast ball just under the skin, but Jackson took a great cut at it.
• 50:06
  Two out, and nobody on.
• 50:10
  Strike two, ball.
• 50:12
  That was a nice curve ball, rather high.
• 50:15
  Ball bounded out of sticky glove, roll, two feet, four-thirds.
• 50:19
  Bill retrieves it and toss it back to Gomez, and we're ready to go.
• 50:23
  Two out, nobody on. Jackson up. Strike two.
• 50:27
  One-to-nothing in favor of the Master Leaguers.
• 50:30
  Here's the pitch. Gomez takes an extra long windup this time, and here it is.
• 50:35
  It's a ball. It's over the plate. the depth is a little bit low,
• 50:38
  and the count on Travis Jackson is strike two and ball one.
• 50:43
  Two out, nobody on.
• 50:47
  And here comes strike three, swinging.
• 50:51
  That was a slow cut that Jackson took at that.
• 50:54
  the Master Leaguers in the second inning, no one, no hits, no errors.
• 50:57
  Boardbomb.
• 50:59
  Looks like this game is going to settle the argument about which it takes to win ball games.
• 51:03
  Heavy hitters are great pitchers because the pitchers are tying these heavy-hitting lineups into nops this afternoon.
• 51:09
  the National League second inning, Gomez first pitching to Berger.
• 51:13
  Berger came up and went down on three straight balls, all of them siked,
• 51:17
  and he swung hard at the third one and tore through a lump of the ozone above the plate and got exactly nothing at all.
• 51:23
  Then Bill Terry came up to the tears of the fans, a very popular player, great first baseman,
• 51:29
  great manager of the New York Giants, came up and it went to one and nothing on him.
• 51:34
  A ball and no strikes, and then he walloped a powering high fly.
• 51:38
  It failed way high up into the center field.
• 51:41
  Simmons moved in under it and took it nicely for the second out.
• 51:45
  Then Travis Jackson came to bat.
• 51:48
  Travis Jackson up, and Gomez had his number two. Jackson went down swinging, retiring the National League here in the second inning.
• 51:56
  So we come with the score one to nothing in favor of the National League into the third inning with the American League at bat.
• 52:02
  the National Broadcasting Company bringing it to you.
• 52:04
  Here's Tom Manning to tell you about the play-by-play here in the third inning.
• 52:07
  the American League is one-one behind as they come to bat and Charlie Kerringer, the first Tiger second baseman, is again the leadoff man.
• 52:15
  Time-up Charlie singles to center field, went to second on the center fielder's fumble.
• 52:22
  First pitch is a foul inside.
• 52:25
  Ball two.
• 52:28
  That was a hook ball that went to the outside corner, and the count on Charlie Kerringer, who got them left-handed, is to a nothing.
• 52:38
  Charlie had almost gone over to Fallerville, Michigan, May 11, 19-3.
• 52:43
  Right foul.
• 52:45
  Ball two and strike on.
• 52:48
  You can all get a picture of Charlie.
• 52:50
  He's 5'11.5 and 180 pounds.
• 52:53
  Came to Detroit in 1945 from Toronto.
• 52:56
  Got a batting average, a grand average of 382 for the year.
• 53:00
  Got to get the hole in the next one and drive it deep into right field.
• 53:05
  And it's Marler, goes back and makes that nice running back at the edge of the box and deep right field.
• 53:11
  Boy, that ball was hit right on the label.
• 53:14
  Looks like it was going to wait for a moment, but Mike Carter turned it back with a back of the bat and dived off the center back and made a sweet running back for the first out.
• 53:26
  One down, nobody on.
• 53:29
  Tide straighter and Bill Terry.
• 53:31
  11-6 is Fox now having a bit of a conference with Carl Hubbell.
• 53:36
  Conference is over and Heine-Manu is coming up.
• 53:40
  Last time up, Heine-Walk.
• 53:43
  Gets the first ball, puts the crowd around second base way.
• 53:46
  Flanky brings it up with it.
• 53:47
  Fox is in query.
• 53:48
  Manu is out.
• 53:50
  Two men out, nobody on.
• 53:51
  Boy, those master leaders are whipping that ball around that in field.
• 53:55
  What a speed of whiting.
• 53:57
  And straightly all set up right on their toes this afternoon.
• 54:00
  Mabou gets the great ovation as he comes up for the second time.
• 54:07
  Last time up, Baybrews.
• 54:10
  Look out.
• 54:12
  the American League is half of the third inning.
• 54:14
  One run behind, two outs, nobody on, and Baybrews is up.
• 54:19
  Strike, call.
• 54:22
  Rather slow curve ball just above the knees and over the heart of the plate.
• 54:28
  Baybrews decided to wait for another one.
• 54:31
  A called strike.
• 54:32
  One to nothing is the count.
• 54:34
  the fifth ball.
• 54:36
  That was over, just a little bit too low, and the crowd on Baybrews.
• 54:40
  Ball one and strike one.
• 54:43
  the score is one to nothing in favor of the national leaders.
• 54:47
  First half of the third inning, two outs, nobody on.
• 54:50
  Hubbell pitching, here it is.
• 54:52
  It's too low.
• 54:54
  Ball two and strike one on Baybrews.
• 54:58
  Luke Gehry is hanging around home plate.
• 55:01
  Drew is coming up there next to them.
• 55:04
  Two outs, nobody on.
• 55:07
  Baybrews, ball two, strike one, the pitch.
• 55:11
  Oh-ho!
• 55:13
  Over into the national league is Dugout, which is a long third base,
• 55:16
  and that evens the count at ball two and strike two.
• 55:23
  There's a lot of pebble out there on the national league's infield.
• 55:27
  A lot of baseball players out there, including the MVP managers, Terry Pritz and Traylor.
• 55:33
  And the captain, Travis Jackson.
• 55:35
  Two and two, the pitch.
• 55:38
  Ball three, that one's right, Baybrews away from the plate.
• 55:41
  It was high inside, and now the count on the base, ball three and strike two.
• 55:52
  Nobody on base and all two outs.
• 55:54
  There's the windup, three and two, three and two.
• 55:57
  Ball four, that was high inside, driving the Baybrews again out of the batter's box,
• 56:02
  and he walks through Gary coming up.
• 56:06
  Last time up, Gary struck out.
• 56:13
  I don't see anybody warming up for the national league as we get.
• 56:16
  Most possible to Phil's, Gary will allow Hubble to go along a little longer.
• 56:23
  Gary gets strike one, this is a foul back.
• 56:30
  Baybrews is on first base, first half of the third inning, two outs.
• 56:38
  Jimmy Fox is hanging around home plate now.
• 56:42
  Here's the pitch.
• 56:44
  Get the hold of it along, smash the right field, open near the wall,
• 56:47
  Tyler's over close to the wall and makes the catch, and that's all.
• 56:50
  That was two mighty drives that inning by Scherringer and Gary,
• 56:55
  but it's all over for the American Leagueers in the first half of the third.
• 56:58
  What's the score for?
• 57:00
  Well, if Gary gets pulled around just a little harder on that one,
• 57:03
  the score, there would have been two runs in that inning because the Baybrews down on first,
• 57:08
  Gary came up and smashed that ball hard right on the old smuzzle out on the right field.
• 57:14
  If he had pulled it around just about 25 feet, he would have sailed over that low barrier into those right field turns.
• 57:19
  But, Phil, well, that's what's between innings that the Mets are built on.
• 57:24
  the first was the first man up, the Adolf Mams, the Americans in the third,
• 57:28
  and he banged a long hard hit flat way out to the full bend in right field,
• 57:32
  but Kyler was out there with a crack in the bat and took it on the run for a nice running catch on the first out.
• 57:38
  Then Manouche came up. Manouche banged one, a draft cutter, down to Frisch on second.
• 57:42
  He was out on a fast play, Frisch to Terry, and two men were gone.
• 57:45
  the Baybs came up, two outs, nobody on.
• 57:48
  Count went to three and two on him, and then he got a walk.
• 57:51
  Derek came up and smacked that long one out into right field, but Kyler took that one right.
• 57:55
  This right field is hard to measure here. the angles are peculiar on it.
• 57:58
  Here we go into the National League share, the third inning now,
• 58:01
  and the batter is coming into the box, and here's Dom Manning.
• 58:04
  Gabby Hartnett, he catches with today's game, catches for the Chicago Cubs right-hand hitter,
• 58:09
  it's first up, and on the first pitch from Gomez, he follows it up on the roof in back of home plate.
• 58:16
  And the count on Gabby Hartnett is strike one.
• 58:20
  Kyle Hubbell, the next hitter, has the ground ball over the pitch,
• 58:23
  he's had down short corner and in fast, has it, whips it to Gary, and Hartnett is out.
• 58:29
  That was a fast play by Joe Cronin, the shortstop of a lazy hopper just out of Gomez's league.
• 58:35
  Now we have one man out in the National League half of the third inning.
• 58:46
  He's going to have a pitch hitter for Kyle Hubbell.
• 58:50
  Dilly Herman, a right-hand hitter, fast for Kyle Hubbell.
• 58:56
  Hubbell has picked his three innings and is through for the day.
• 59:00
  If the first ball takes, the high fly out in the short left field,
• 59:04
  Cohen going back, Van Utrend, Cohen there's under it, and has it,
• 59:08
  for the out.
• 59:12
  That was the high fly, Van Utrend and Cohen both going after it.
• 59:15
  Now we have two men out and nobody out.
• 59:20
  Dilly Herman hitting the first ball, pitch through short left field,
• 59:23
  where it was taken by Joe Cronin.
• 59:28
  Much more we have at the top of the National League is batting order coming up,
• 59:32
  Frankie Fritz, who is responsible for the National League's advantage of one run.
• 59:37
  He smacked that home run in the first inning, high into the upper deck of the right field stand.
• 59:43
  Ball one, that was a driving third ball.
• 59:48
  That was over but just a little bit too high.
• 59:51
  At the top of Frankie Fritz is right one, or ball one rather.
• 59:55
  Ball two, a third ball is high outside and the count is two and nothing.
• 1:00:05
  Two and nothing on Frankie Fritz, the manager of the St. Louis Garbage.
• 1:00:10
  At the high foul, down toward first base,
• 1:00:13
  Gehrig is going back fast over to the stand,
• 1:00:16
  but gets a little too deep into the boxers and back to first base and into strike.
• 1:00:23
  Gehrig is certainly a fighting ball player.
• 1:00:25
  He dashed over to that one, never looked up until he got his hand on the little bowler
• 1:00:29
  in front of the boxers and looked up,
• 1:00:31
  but the ball is in the boxers a little too deep and the count on Frankie Fritz,
• 1:00:36
  a ball two and strike one.
• 1:00:43
  Last half of the third inning, you know, strike two, ball two and strike two.
• 1:00:57
  Two and two, two outs, nobody on.
• 1:01:00
  Ball three, that was a third ball outside
• 1:01:04
  and now the count on Frankie Fritz is ball three and strike two.
• 1:01:09
  the fans have settled down for just a moment now with that great excitement
• 1:01:12
  that we had in the first inning.
• 1:01:17
  It's a ball low outside and Frankie Fritz whacks.
• 1:01:25
  Well, Meg had Fritz in the hole that time with a count of two and two,
• 1:01:29
  but wasn't able to get the other two over.
• 1:01:31
  Missed the corner with that third ball,
• 1:01:34
  but the other one was plenty low and outside and Fritz is on first,
• 1:01:38
  two outs and Pye Traynor is up.
• 1:01:44
  Pye gets that nickname when he's a kid, he was always asking for Pye.
• 1:01:50
  Ball one, that was a change of pace offering, a little bit high at inside.
• 1:01:57
  Maxley gets batting on the last half of the third, two outs, Fritz on first.
• 1:02:00
  That's a long furrow down the right field and it's a strike.
• 1:02:06
  That was a hard smash down in the right field.
• 1:02:08
  the fans all stood up as it left the bat, but it was followed by 15 or 20 yards.
• 1:02:15
  Ball one and strike one.
• 1:02:18
  Pye Traynor is up.
• 1:02:20
  Manager and third baseman of the Pittsburgh Pilots.
• 1:02:24
  Foul up and back.
• 1:02:28
  Strike two and ball one.
• 1:02:30
  That ball was about four head high.
• 1:02:35
  Pye Traynor liked him high and he fouls right into that one,
• 1:02:37
  but it was a foul back and the counter strike two and ball one.
• 1:02:44
  Last half of the third inning, Maxley Leaguers won, American Leaguers nothing.
• 1:02:48
  We have two outs, Frankie Fritz is on first base.
• 1:02:51
  Let's-de-go manager is in the box and the count on Pye Traynor is strike two and ball one.
• 1:02:57
  Here it is.
• 1:02:59
  It's a ground ball through the center of the infield out in the center field.
• 1:03:02
  Al Simmons comes up with it and he returns the ball to Farnham at second base while Frankie Fritz holds up at third.
• 1:03:10
  Frankie Fritz keeps his third base standing up.
• 1:03:12
  A play test for Pye Traynor.
• 1:03:15
  That was a ground ball through the center of the infield and it was received by Al Simmons in center field.
• 1:03:23
  Now we have Joey Medwick.
• 1:03:25
  Joey Medwick in the stainless part coming up.
• 1:03:36
  A ball low inside.
• 1:03:39
  Runners on first and third.
• 1:03:40
  You know, last half of the third inning, two men out.
• 1:03:46
  Last time up, Medwick's stuck out.
• 1:03:49
  Ball back and that evens the count of ball one and strike one.
• 1:03:57
  Here's the picture, last half of the third inning.
• 1:03:59
  the Master League is allowed in front by the score of one to nothing.
• 1:04:02
  Pye Traynor is on first.
• 1:04:04
  Frankie Fritz is on third.
• 1:04:06
  Joe Medwick is up.
• 1:04:08
  It's a holdout with a long pass.
• 1:04:10
  Going, going, going.
• 1:04:11
  Hit of the upper deck.
• 1:04:12
  Off the left field stands for a home run.
• 1:04:15
  Frankie Fritz off to the plate.
• 1:04:18
  Pye Traynor here's Browning-Burke going in.
• 1:04:21
  And here comes Joey Medwick.
• 1:04:23
  the fans are all standing up giving Medwick a great ovation.
• 1:04:26
  A long home run into the upper deck.
• 1:04:29
  Off the left field stands for a home run.
• 1:04:32
  the Master League are out in front by the score of one to nothing.
• 1:04:36
  Listen to that crowd for a moment.
• 1:04:53
  the fans are coming over close to it and the wind is going the ball over against the trees.
• 1:05:06
  And the count of Jimmy Fox's ball trees and strike two.
• 1:05:11
  There's something spooky about those home runs this afternoon.
• 1:05:14
  the one by Frankie Fritz in the first inning and by Joe Medwick in the third.
• 1:05:18
  Those balls were hit right on the label and they sailed not into the lower deck,
• 1:05:23
  but both of them were high into the upper deck.
• 1:05:28
  Jimmy Fox first bat up on the fourth for the American Leagueers.
• 1:05:31
  Hit that ground ball down short.
• 1:05:33
  About half a jack to the basket, but to the carry and Fox is out.
• 1:05:37
  With the count balls being strike two.
• 1:05:39
  Fox to the ground ball down short.
• 1:05:41
  Stopped way into the bat and an asking hop to Jack to the cimbit.
• 1:05:45
  He's got a little bit of a hard at the tip of his tap and then flips it over to Bill Terry and Fox is out.
• 1:05:51
  One down.
• 1:05:53
  Al Simmons is up.
• 1:05:55
  Al Simmons is on the playing center field this afternoon.
• 1:06:00
  Al is one of the greatest right-hand hitters of all time.
• 1:06:06
  Hit the ball.
• 1:06:09
  That was over the heart of the plate, but just a little bit low.
• 1:06:12
  the count on Al Simmons is ball one.
• 1:06:15
  First half of the fourth inning, you know, one out, nobody on.
• 1:06:17
  Four to nothing in favor of the National Leagueers.
• 1:06:19
  Four to nothing.
• 1:06:20
  As a high foul over the stands and back of the plate.
• 1:06:23
  And the count is ball one and it's strike one.
• 1:06:30
  the new ball is tossed up.
• 1:06:32
  Count Warnock, you know, is much lower.
• 1:06:35
  That does foul Hubble.
• 1:06:37
  Power, that's the goal match.
• 1:06:41
  the count on Al Simmons now is ball one and strike one.
• 1:06:45
  As the long, fast going, going up against the left field,
• 1:06:51
  Beecher and Simmons destroying the second base.
• 1:06:53
  the ball is panned off the wall into the hands of Medwick.
• 1:06:55
  Medwick tipped the ball into Jackson and it was a two-base ball for Al Simmons.
• 1:06:59
  That ball was within a yard and so of going deep into the left center field of Beecher.
• 1:07:05
  And that's plenty high out there, about 25 feet high.
• 1:07:08
  That was a two-base hit that anybody qualifies.
• 1:07:13
  That's the first exit base hit of the afternoon for the National Leagueers.
• 1:07:17
  Now they're carrying in the first man up on the ball,
• 1:07:19
  James Singleton is the second on the center field as well.
• 1:07:22
  Now we have one man out, Al Simmons on second base and Joe Fallon is up.
• 1:07:28
  Joe Fallon, shortstop and manager of the American Leagueers this afternoon,
• 1:07:33
  as well as being manager of the Washington Center Base.
• 1:07:36
  the first six for Wamakee.
• 1:07:38
  And with that down left field, with the base hit,
• 1:07:41
  south to inside about a foot inside, there's a ball for Medwick who's Jackson.
• 1:07:45
  Fallon was halfway down a second, but James was flying and went back to first.
• 1:07:49
  And so Al Simmons was down the third base, up right on going.
• 1:07:56
  If anybody's warming up, they must be.
• 1:08:00
  Farther, they are way down at center field.
• 1:08:07
  All right, one of the National Leagueers warming up.
• 1:08:09
  Only have two men out in the first half of the fourth inning.
• 1:08:12
  Joe Fallon is on first and Earl Averill is batting for Lexington Gohmans.
• 1:08:18
  Averill, you know, hits them left-handed.
• 1:08:24
  Fallon Wamakee, right-hander is in the box, the pitch. Fallon, a back ball is high inside.
• 1:08:30
  One to nothing is the count.
• 1:08:37
  It's funny, Joe Fallon is a sense of steel.
• 1:08:39
  Now Averill will be declared out. He really wouldn't be in the ball game officially.
• 1:08:44
  Ball one is the count on Averill.
• 1:08:48
  Averill is a pitch. It's too low. Ball two.
• 1:08:55
  Wamakee, right-hander, big ball, right-hander, out there in the box for the National Leagueers having the plate.
• 1:09:02
  Fallon Hubbell.
• 1:09:08
  He's on the rubber again, ready to face Averill with a count two and up in the pitch.
• 1:09:13
  Ball three, a back ball is too low.
• 1:09:16
  Charlie Gilling is hanging around home plate.
• 1:09:21
  Three and nothing is the count on Averill.
• 1:09:28
  Working that ball low outside for Earl.
• 1:09:36
  Three and nothing is the count. Two outs, Fallon is on first.
• 1:09:39
  It is fake foul. Ball three and fake one.
• 1:09:46
  That was a burning fast foul right down the old alley, felt high.
• 1:09:50
  Three and one it is.
• 1:09:53
  Fallon is on first, two men out, first half of the fourth.
• 1:09:56
  the pitch.
• 1:09:57
  Wings into ball, fast going, going, going, deep into right field.
• 1:10:02
  And it turns off, defense out there, Averill is down and second, Fallon is down and third. Here's the throw, it's closest, 35 he's safe.
• 1:10:09
  A mighty three base hit for Earl Averill.
• 1:10:12
  And Fallon crosses the plate.
• 1:10:15
  the National Leagueers four, the American Leagueers two.
• 1:10:19
  Earl Averill is on the field of the Cleveland Indians with that count, ball three and fake one.
• 1:10:24
  He took a toehold on that dribble coming down the old alley and forward and he hit it.
• 1:10:28
  He hit it and he hit it to the wall.
• 1:10:33
  That was beautiful to watch.
• 1:10:35
  That ball was relayed from Tyler to Berger in third base.
• 1:10:40
  Earl Averill with a beautiful hook drive beating the throw.
• 1:10:43
  Harold Jackson down there raising net at third base.
• 1:10:48
  Whistling and what have you.
• 1:10:50
  Four to two in favor of the National Leagueers.
• 1:10:52
  Two outs, Averill on third.
• 1:10:54
  Charlie Kerringer with the Detroit Tigers is up a left hand batter.
• 1:10:58
  One single out of two hooks to the plate.
• 1:11:02
  the pitch, hit the ball high inside.
• 1:11:08
  Mighty Manu is just hanging around.
• 1:11:12
  Well, this may develop into a slug first before it's all over, eh?
• 1:11:16
  Here's the pitch.
• 1:11:18
  This is like a fast ball right in there and the count on Charlie Kerringer, ball one and fake one.
• 1:11:26
  Charlie Kerringer, you know, is one of the most likable ball players in the major leagues.
• 1:11:31
  Never has a bad word to say about anybody.
• 1:11:35
  Ball one and fake one is his count.
• 1:11:38
  Ball two, that was a curve ball that missed the outside corner to a left hand sticker
• 1:11:43
  and the count is ball two and fake one.
• 1:11:47
  Here's half of the fourth inning to score the National Leagueers four, American Leagueers two.
• 1:11:54
  Two men out, Averill on third, ball two and fake one and there it is.
• 1:11:58
  Ball three, ball outside and the count is three and one.
• 1:12:02
  Mighty Manu just hanging around home plate, gets up now and Moses Gauze is down and waves that bat a few times.
• 1:12:10
  Gabby Hartnett walks out to have a bit of a conference with his battering mate, Lon Warnocky.
• 1:12:19
  You know, this battering that we have in the mouth of the National Leagueers represents the century of progress
• 1:12:25
  and the city of Chicago in a big way.
• 1:12:29
  Gabby Hartnett, a fine catcher and Lon Warnocky, a very, very fine right hand pitcher.
• 1:12:37
  First half of the fourth inning, two out, Averill on third, Geringer up ball three, strike one, the pick.
• 1:12:43
  Hips too wide and Geringer walks, Charlie Geringer walks, swinging highly Manu.
• 1:12:49
  the mighty left fielder, the slugger, other Washington Senators is coming up.
• 1:12:58
  Charlie Geringer is doing right well by himself this afternoon.
• 1:13:01
  A base knock the first time up and the third time up to get a base on ball.
• 1:13:07
  Now we have Geringer on first, Averill on third, two runs behind.
• 1:13:12
  Mighty Manu is up, a left hand batter with Lon Warnocky 50.
• 1:13:15
  Here it is, strike one.
• 1:13:18
  He takes a terrific cut and misses.
• 1:13:25
  Strike one is the count on Mighty Manu.
• 1:13:27
  Anything can happen now, everybody on the edge of their seats here waiting for it.
• 1:13:31
  Strike one, the pick.
• 1:13:33
  It's a very high infield fly over in foul territory now with Piper in the sun waiting for it,
• 1:13:39
  feeling his high de-hazard.
• 1:13:41
  That's all for the American Leaguers in the fourth inning.
• 1:13:44
  That was another swell inning.
• 1:13:46
  the score now at the end of three and one half innings, the National Leaguers 12, American Leaguers 2.
• 1:13:51
  Come in for it.
• 1:13:54
  Warnocky came in to pick for the National League in the American League half of the fourth inning
• 1:13:59
  and he first had to face Fox who came in the up and the count went to three and two and then he banged a hard grass cutter down to Travis Jackson
• 1:14:06
  who fielded it very fast out of the cross-exterior and got it to the back just about two feet ahead of the runner.
• 1:14:11
  Then came up, Simmons banged that ball hard high and far way up the left field stand stand
• 1:14:19
  and just missed clearing by about one yard the barrier above the lower deck.
• 1:14:24
  He got a two-bagger on it.
• 1:14:26
  So the man on base, one out and one on and Soren at that.
• 1:14:30
  Soren smacked one to left field just about two feet in side the left field foul line,
• 1:14:34
  soren Simmons a thing over Joe Soren.
• 1:14:36
  Dickie up and he bowled to the upper deck at the long strike and then went down on call strike.
• 1:14:42
  Averill came up, banged that ball about 260 yards into right field.
• 1:14:46
  There's a 455-foot marker out there about 10 yards short of it.
• 1:14:50
  A very, very hard hit ball.
• 1:14:52
  A three-bagger scoring corner and brings the score up to four to two.
• 1:14:56
  Gerriger came up and walked, then managed to pass a foul, a very high, powering high foul.
• 1:15:01
  Slater moved over from third base and took it for the third out.
• 1:15:05
  Two runs in in that inning on Lon Warnocky.
• 1:15:10
  He hit Simmons, Cronin, and Averill.
• 1:15:16
  Three hits, two runs, three hits, and no errors.
• 1:15:18
  Now we go into the National League after fourth with a new pitcher coming in for the American League.
• 1:15:24
  It's the big red, Charlie Ruffing, who's coming in for the American League here as we go into the National League after fourth.
• 1:15:30
  And here's Tom Manning to give it to you.
• 1:15:33
  Wally Berger is first up with Charlie Ruffing picking.
• 1:15:37
  the first is a foul high inside, and Wally Berger is forced to drop to the ground.

  Last time up, Wally struck out.

• 1:16:24
  the umpire has evaded the game for a moment to brush off home plate.
• 1:16:28
  Wally fell down.
• 1:16:30
  He picked all the dirt out of the platter and now it's all washed up and ready for another deal.
• 1:16:35
  Strike two and foul one.

  He almost got that that's going up from the crowd.
• 1:16:48
  Fox has his very bright sun there above a third base.
• 1:16:53
  Jimmy Fox is there with his glove, feeling sun from his eyes,
• 1:16:57
  and staggered into foul third, Terry, and juggled the ball for a moment,

  That was a line smash, one of those ding, ding, dings.
• 1:17:59
  Now the count on manager Bill is strike two.
• 1:18:03
  Last half of the fourth inning, one out, nobody on.

  landing every spot on the diamond and every name in the batting order,
• 1:23:56
  sparkling with the ability which they've shown and demonstrated and tied it up in the record books.
• 1:24:01
  Jackson came into pitch for the American League as the National Leaguers came up in the fourth.
• 1:24:06
  And Ruffing had Berger to face first.
• 1:24:09
  Berger fouls very high and Popkasset just back of third measured it,
• 1:24:13
  having to warm the sun out of his eyes with the big miss as it came down.
• 1:24:17
  He almost misjudged it, had to leap back about a foot as it came down into his glove and it was one out.
• 1:24:22
  Terry up and Terry got a ringing single in left field, went down to first.
• 1:24:27
  Jackson came up, had a lot of fouls and then banged one out the center field where Earl Averill took care of that.
• 1:24:33
  Then Hartnett at bat threw out one arm.
• 1:24:36
  He banged one heart down to third where Popkasset took it.

  Bob Larnaking in offense, double-cubs is the pitcher. Baybose is up.
• 1:24:57
  the first pitch to the Bay.
• 1:24:59
  It's a strike.
• 1:25:00
  the Bay is blown away from home plate and now he's talking to the umpire.
• 1:25:04
  But they guard with this strike.
• 1:25:09
  Baybose looked out the first time up and walked in the third inning.
• 1:25:13
  Strike one on the Bay.
• 1:25:15
  the pitcher.
• 1:25:16
  Take two, ball.
• 1:25:18
  Again, Baybose, blown away from the plate and the crowd is two and nothing.
• 1:25:24
  Baybose leaning on his bat now about eight or ten feet away from home plate
• 1:25:30
  and is talking with the umpire.
• 1:25:32
  And the crowd is two and nothing at all.

  Ball inside.
• 1:25:54
  Down on Baybose now, strike two and ball one.
• 1:25:58
  the umpire is waiting for a moment while he gets off into the whiff room
• 1:26:01
  and presses off home plate.
• 1:26:09
  Twenty-two to fifty and oh. Strike two and ball one.
• 1:26:11
  Here it is.
• 1:26:12
  Ball two.
• 1:26:13
  the back ball is high inside.
• 1:26:15
  Baybose tucked away from home plate and the crowd is two and two.
• 1:26:25
  Ball two and strike two on the Bay.
• 1:26:27
  First man up for the American Leagues in the fifth inning.
• 1:26:30
  Ball three.
• 1:26:33
  That was a fast start over the plate to just a little bit low.
• 1:26:40
  the heavy heart bet, but perhaps that was over, but the count is three and two.
• 1:26:50
  Al Stratus walked in there now holding up his hand, declaring time for a moment,
• 1:26:54
  yelling for time while he's asking the umpire to take a look at that ball.
• 1:27:02
  Ball was all right so Al Stratus getting the front steer,
• 1:27:06
  but he didn't take it, he's tipping his hat to the Bay.
• 1:27:11
  Three and two is the count on Baybose.
• 1:27:12
  First man up for the American Leagues in the fifth inning.
• 1:27:16
  Here's the windup.
• 1:27:17
  Three and two to pitch.
• 1:27:19
  Hit the ball at two-one.
• 1:27:20
  Baybose fast.
• 1:27:25
  With a count of three and two, Baybose to the line, four-off drive,
• 1:27:28
  and he's now 30-pound first base and Larabee to Gary of Columbia is next up.
• 1:27:38
  Here I see a foul on by Jimmy Fox.
• 1:27:44
  And the lead team remains the same, infield, Lee, Perry, Fritz, Jackson and Swainer.
• 1:27:53
  On warning, here's Adam Knox now having to replace Tom Hubbell who makes three great innings.
• 1:27:58
  All ready to go now, ready to work on Gary.
• 1:28:01
  the first pitch, hit low, outside, ball run.
• 1:28:05
  Gary, that's not old Scalile on the plate.
• 1:28:09
  So he's just a big fellow.
• 1:28:14
  Well that is a count here.
• 1:28:15
  Fast ball to the foul side, ball to the plate, and the count on Gary, here's foul two.
• 1:28:22
  First half of the first inning, National League is just two runs ahead, four to two.
• 1:28:31
  Robert Johnson is coaching the first base, Al Jackson serves.
• 1:28:34
  the pitch to Gary with a count of two and nothing.
• 1:28:37
  He takes almost a half swing,
• 1:28:39
  whaps the umpire foul to the foul on the count of three and nothing.
• 1:28:43
  the players being referred now to umpire stack, out here second base.
• 1:28:49
  Maggie Fritz is talking with stack as is Ty Fraynor.
• 1:28:53
  That's a clean with the arbitrator behind the plate and the count of three and nothing.
• 1:29:00
  Gary just almost a half swing of that ball.
• 1:29:06
  Three and nothing, they lose on first, nobody else but Fritz.
• 1:29:09
  Fakes foul.
• 1:29:15
  That was a fast ball right in there.
• 1:29:17
  Lonnie Warnock, he's talking to them as much as he can today.
• 1:29:19
  Who's afraid of you? Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?
• 1:29:22
  Now it's three and one.
• 1:29:24
  the pitch to high fly a bit of a stand and light for the foul.
• 1:29:32
  That was far funny.
• 1:29:34
  And the count on Luke Gary gets three and two.
• 1:29:37
  Jimmy Fox is coming up next.
• 1:29:39
  Kermit crosses out a new ball.
• 1:29:42
  Hyman flips it down to Ty Fraynor.
• 1:29:44
  Ty takes his glove off.
• 1:29:46
  Gives it a bit of a massage and then tosses it over to Lon Warnock.
• 1:29:53
  Warnock gives a right hand set to the count of three and two on Luke Gary with Babe Ruth on first.
• 1:29:58
  Result of a base on balls, nobody else.
• 1:30:01
  Here it is.
• 1:30:04
  It's two and Gary walks.
• 1:30:08
  With the count of three and two, Warnock set a fast ball down the alley.
• 1:30:13
  But it was glory and now we have Gary on first.
• 1:30:17
  Babe Ruth on second.
• 1:30:19
  And manager Bill and Terry, Ty Fraynor, Mikey Fritz, Jackson and Hartnett all walking out to the pitchers' top for a conference with Lon Warnock.
• 1:30:30
  Lonock is by three and going out of the box.
• 1:30:37
  Jeff Lon Warnock is walking slowly, nonchalantly over toward the not-so-regious dugout, which is located along the first baseline.
• 1:30:49
  50 Gene is running down the center field of both ends to warm up.
• 1:30:56
  So we'll probably have Al Mungo.
• 1:31:01
  That's coming in.
• 1:31:02
  That's not official, is Jeff?
• 1:31:06
  Still a bit of a conference down there.
• 1:31:08
  So in the front of it, many friends have just tuned in.
• 1:31:11
  Let us run over some of the highlights of the play.
• 1:31:14
  You know, it's a long way down there to the full fence in center field here at the Polar Bound in New York City.
• 1:31:20
  To be exact, it's 455 feet.
• 1:31:24
  In the very first inning, the started getting a first-step pass, single pass, break up break, and took second on the center field.
• 1:31:32
  the first-step pass was a double-steel, but right about east-west.
• 1:31:37
  Gary got that.
• 1:31:38
  When Gary got a cover three and two, Gary threw him in with the double-steel when Gary struck out.
• 1:31:45
  the second-step pass was right over there for the not-so-regious because Jimmy Foxx, the great right-hand, hit him in the stomach.
• 1:31:51
  He was hit in the stomach with a double-steadle, and with the interception of his pennies on the end of the way, ran in and then strapped him on the back, so in that he could shoot him.
• 1:32:02
  the second-step pass was right about east-west, Gary got that.
• 1:32:06
  the second-step pass was really touching baseball.
• 1:32:10
  the National Leaguers half of the first break, left the hip break, left the rim of the row, headed south.
• 1:32:21
  One of them left the ball, high into the upper deck, over the 395-foot line, and right field.
• 1:32:24
  That's quite a crowd here at the Polar Con.
• 1:32:26
  Four to nothing. Finally in the National Leaguers half of the third inning, they jumped three runs across the plate, showing Medlich coming up with two on, slapped one into the upper deck, and the left field forfeited for a homer, putting the National Leaguers out in front.
• 1:32:40
  Four to nothing. But the American Leaguers came back and scored two runs in the fourth inning.
• 1:32:45
  Leslie Gomez started for the American Leaguers, and he hit three in.
• 1:32:49
  He was replaced by Charlie Ruffing, also of the New York Yankees.
• 1:32:52
  the great Carl Hubbell, great in speed he is. After watching him in the first game of that World Series last ball, then watching him again this afternoon, striking out those boys, he struck out the six men in three innings.
• 1:33:04
  That's a lot of strikeouts with players like this in the game. He certainly is a great pitcher. Make no mistake about it.
• 1:33:13
  Bob Waterkin came on. the American Leaguers scored two runs in the fourth inning, and now as we earn the fifth inning with runners on first and second, nobody out. Two runs behind.
• 1:33:23
  Rueb is on second. Gerrig is on first, and Jimmy Fox, the right-hander, is coming up.
• 1:33:32
  Dan Mungo, M-U-N-G-O. Mungo is the new National Leaguers pitcher. He's a right-hander.
• 1:33:39
  Fox hits the first ball, hits a long drive into right centerfield, and the base hits.
• 1:33:43
  They move to pounding third base. Here's the throw.
• 1:33:46
  Gerrig bounce, second, coming to third. Gerrig bounce, third, the throw. But Gerrig goes back to third base.
• 1:33:51
  They move across the plate, and Fox drops that first. A single for Jimmy Fox, and a long single to the first.
• 1:33:58
  the right centerfield. the score, the National Leaguers four, the American Leaguers three.
• 1:34:04
  Now we have Fox on first base. Gerrig on third base. Al Simmons is coming up.
• 1:34:15
  That was a low line fast deep into right centerfield. Nice feeling out there by Wally Berger, too.
• 1:34:23
  Now we have Al Simmons, another right-hander, coming up. Mungo, you know, is the National Leaguers pitcher.
• 1:34:29
  Here it is. Ball one. A fast ball is too low.
• 1:34:34
  What if the ball came again now? For a while, Aaron McDonough, a bad for the American Leaguers, with a score of four to nothing.
• 1:34:40
  Two runs last inning, they have one man. McDonough is on first and third, and nobody else.
• 1:34:46
  Al Simmons is up. Ball one. A down ball. Down he keeps. George Gepson comes up with a pitch.
• 1:34:52
  Oh, the second is a bit high. He pulls Frankie Pritz off the bag. Gerrig forces the play, and the score is five-four.
• 1:35:03
  the official ruling, I cannot believe, will be a mirror. It is scored at the hip, correct.
• 1:35:08
  That was the ground ball between Traynor and Jackson. Jackson went a bit deep, just far to his right, and he bagged the ball.
• 1:35:15
  He went off balance. He threw the second base, and Frankie Pritz had to leap into the air to spare the ball.
• 1:35:22
  But we believe that Jimmy Foxx will have beaten the score, and so it is scored as a base hit for Al Simmons.
• 1:35:30
  Score is four-four, you know, and Manning is good. Coleman, a right-hander, is coming up.
• 1:35:38
  Hunter is on first and second. Nobody else. Coleman attempts to bump into Pop Fier. Oh, it's a full-back, and what a catch he makes.
• 1:35:45
  That's beautiful catch. Joe Coleman attempts to stop the fight, and he pops the fireball up, and Javi Harkness rips off his mask,
• 1:35:54
  and went back and stumbling, took the ball on the edge of his throat, had it finally rolled into the center,
• 1:36:00
  and Javi gagged and striked it tomorrow, but was able to hang on to it for the first out.
• 1:36:05
  the letters were unable to advance, so we have Al Simmons on first, Jimmy Foxx on second.
• 1:36:11
  One man out, hand-tatcher, Phil Zickey of the New York Jankies coming up.
• 1:36:16
  What a ball game. What catchers, what plays, what plays.
• 1:36:22
  Here it is, a ball outside. That was a burning fastball that was outside.
• 1:36:29
  Up right up there, ready to hit. One and nothing is the count. One man out in the fifth inning.
• 1:36:37
  the pitch hits too low inside, and the count on Phil Zickey is ball two.
• 1:36:46
  That familiar whistle of Al's jack is ringing through the polo ground.
• 1:36:51
  Boy, how he can whistle when he's coaching there at third base.
• 1:36:54
  the count on Phil Zickey, ball two, the pitch hits outside, ball three.
• 1:37:02
  Ball three is the count.
• 1:37:07
  Earl Averill coming up next.
• 1:37:10
  That means that the pitcher will hit in Heidi Manish's spot, second.
• 1:37:16
  Strike called.
• 1:37:18
  Mungo aimed that one right down the alley so high. And now the count on Phil Zickey, a left-hand batter, ball three, strike one.
• 1:37:27
  Al Simmons is on first, Jimmy Foxx on second. Fifth inning, one out.
• 1:37:34
  Strike called.
• 1:37:38
  Dan Mungo aimed that one right down through the heart of the potter, hand hits three and two.
• 1:37:49
  Three balls and two strikes. Runners on first and second. Will they go? Yes, they will.
• 1:37:53
  Let it go. It's a ball outside, and the bases are loaded.
• 1:37:59
  the American League attack this afternoon with one man out.
• 1:38:02
  This is the third occasion we have had a chance to observe it with one man out. Runners on first and second.
• 1:38:08
  And three and two on batter. They are off with the pitcher's motion.
• 1:38:11
  That time, Foxx and Simmons were off with the count. Three and two.
• 1:38:16
  Now we have the sacks loaded, and Earl Averill is coming up.
• 1:38:22
  This is Earl Averill who has that white eagler pole.
• 1:38:25
  He's going to keep right centerfield when he would end his instruction to batter for the rest of the goal man.
• 1:38:31
  Earl Averill hits the left hand and the bases loaded. One out.
• 1:38:35
  Hits the ball. It was too low. That was over the plate.
• 1:38:38
  Averill started to step into it, but changed his mind and it was declared a ball.
• 1:38:43
  Low.
• 1:38:45
  Fitz, load.
• 1:38:47
  Dixion first, Simmons on second, Foxx on third. One off. Here's the pitch.
• 1:38:52
  Hits the ball.
• 1:38:53
  Low outside, and the count on Averill is two and nothing.
• 1:38:58
  Now look over to the bench now. Get a signal from Maddox.
• 1:39:01
  You'll call this whether or not you hit this triple when it comes down the alley.
• 1:39:07
  That noise is signals of course. We can't relay it to you, but we'll see anyway.
• 1:39:10
  Ball two. Here it is.
• 1:39:12
  He swings. Hits it.
• 1:39:14
  And five inside the first base bag at the base hit.
• 1:39:17
  Foxx is scored. Simmons is scored.
• 1:39:19
  Here comes Dixie, the third. It's a two base hit for Averill.
• 1:39:23
  Foxx and Simmons have scored.
• 1:39:26
  Bill Dixie is on third base. Averill is on second.
• 1:39:29
  That is scored as a double for Earl Averill, the great middle center fielder, the Cleveland Indians.
• 1:39:34
  He steps in there as a substitute batter in the fourth inning and smacks out a long triple.
• 1:39:39
  And coming up here now in the fifth inning with a bag loaded and with a count two and nothing,
• 1:39:45
  the old triple came down the alley and he smacked it right between the eyes
• 1:39:49
  and sailed it down the right field ball line for two bases.
• 1:39:53
  And now sending Foxx and Simmons across the plate and putting the American League team out and struck by the score of 64.
• 1:40:03
  Yes indeed it's a ball game.
• 1:40:05
  Now we have Bill Dixie on third base. Earl Averill on second.
• 1:40:09
  One man out. Dan Mungo is going to remain on the pitching box.
• 1:40:14
  Steiner, Perry, and Hartnett were out there.
• 1:40:16
  Charlie Kerringham is up.
• 1:40:18
  A baseball strategy. That meeting, from that meeting comes a strategy that Charlie Kerringham,
• 1:40:23
  a left-hand batter, shall be purposely passed.
• 1:40:27
  the count is ball two, ball three.
• 1:40:31
  the bases will again be loaded.
• 1:40:39
  Charlie Ruffing, who is also a great hitter, is going to back for himself.
• 1:40:45
  Kerringham was purposely passed.
• 1:40:47
  Charlie Kerringham is doing right by all the single-issue bases on balls out of four trips to the plate.
• 1:40:59
  Bases loaded. Ruffing is up.
• 1:41:01
  the first pitch is right swinging.
• 1:41:04
  Bill Dixie is on third.
• 1:41:06
  Earl Averill is on second.
• 1:41:09
  Charlie Kerringham is on first.
• 1:41:12
  One man out. Six to four of the American Leaguers.
• 1:41:15
  At the ball, a hook ball hits the outside corner of the plate.
• 1:41:19
  And the count is ball one and straight one.
• 1:41:23
  Dan Mungo, right-hander of the National League, is in the box.
• 1:41:27
  the windup is the pitch.
• 1:41:29
  Hit too high outside. Ball two.
• 1:41:34
  Ball two and straight one.
• 1:41:37
  First half of the fifth inning, six to four in favor of the American Leaguers.
• 1:41:42
  And the count on Charlie Ruffing. Ball two and straight one.
• 1:41:47
  Ball three. A back ball is low inside.
• 1:41:51
  That one's for Charlie Ruffing out of the box.
• 1:41:54
  And the count is ball three and straight one.
• 1:41:57
  Dave Rousen hanging around home plate.
• 1:42:05
  Ball three and straight one is the count.
• 1:42:07
  Here's the windup. the bases loaded. One out.
• 1:42:10
  He swings. He misses.
• 1:42:12
  Three and two is the count.
• 1:42:16
  the notice game is coming to you from the Polo Grounds in New York City
• 1:42:19
  and being sent to you by the National Broadcasting Company.
• 1:42:23
  Bases loaded. One out.
• 1:42:25
  Three and two on the hitter. the pitch.
• 1:42:28
  It's a ground ball. It's a base hitter. the left field.
• 1:42:31
  Vicki has scored. Aberellas grounding third.
• 1:42:33
  Ledwick has retrieved the ball. Vicki's in the second base.
• 1:42:36
  Kerringham stops that second.
• 1:42:38
  Bill Vicki and Earl Aberell cross the plate.
• 1:42:41
  Makes his score eight to four in favor of the American League.
• 1:42:45
  Ruffing on first base.
• 1:42:47
  Darley Kerringham is on second and one man out.
• 1:42:52
  Bill Kerring and Frankie Fritz have passed into the pitcher's box
• 1:42:56
  and are having a bit of a conference with Dan Mundell.
• 1:43:03
  That's six runs this inning for the American Leaguers.
• 1:43:06
  May Bruce is up there. One man out, you know.
• 1:43:09
  Runners on first and second.
• 1:43:11
  It's the first half of the fifth inning.
• 1:43:15
  60,000 folks yelling in stone's court.
• 1:43:19
  Oh, he takes a mighty swing and misses.
• 1:43:22
  Psych one.
• 1:43:25
  the big babe wasn't kidding on that last strike though.
• 1:43:28
  I want to tell you.
• 1:43:32
  Psych one is the count on the base, you know.
• 1:43:34
  Bale, it was too high on the outside.
• 1:43:37
  Ball one and strike one.
• 1:43:40
  Marathing Lou Kerring hanging around home plate.
• 1:43:45
  Ball one, strike one, the pitch.
• 1:43:49
  the ball to down first.
• 1:43:51
  Kerring picks the ball up, steps on first.
• 1:43:56
  For the put out, an assist as the mother's advancing.
• 1:44:00
  May Bruce is still running with the reference fair.
• 1:44:02
  Now that was a ball that was right on the line.
• 1:44:06
  Took their time on crawling that one.
• 1:44:08
  Kerring took that ball and was bounding right over the sack
• 1:44:11
  and stepped on the back for the put out of.
• 1:44:13
  May Bruce on assistant.
• 1:44:15
  Kerring went to third and Ruffing went to second.
• 1:44:18
  Now we have Kerring coming up with two men out.
• 1:44:23
  Right down the old alley for a called strike.
• 1:44:26
  That's going to put Kerring down there at all.
• 1:44:31
  That was Fox coming up back.
• 1:44:34
  Swings and misses, strike two.
• 1:44:42
  Strike two is the count, two men out,
• 1:44:45
  runners on first and second.
• 1:44:47
  Here it is.
• 1:44:49
  Strike three, swinging.
• 1:44:51
  That was a low curve ball down around the knees
• 1:44:54
  as Kerring took a mighty put out and missed.
• 1:44:57
  Come in fourth bar.
• 1:44:59
  Here's a fast review of that hot fifth inning
• 1:45:01
  and what a hot fifth inning it was.
• 1:45:03
  Bruce up and back to face Warnocky and he won't.
• 1:45:05
  Kerring comes up and he won't.
• 1:45:07
  Fungo is setting to replace Warnocky.
• 1:45:08
  Fox comes up to bat and that's one.
• 1:45:10
  To the right for a single scoring move.
• 1:45:12
  Kerring going to third.
• 1:45:13
  Simmons comes to bat to go on and nobody else.
• 1:45:15
  It's a short traction throw.
• 1:45:17
  Second scoring the tying run.
• 1:45:19
  Kerring coming in, Fox going to second.
• 1:45:21
  Jackson did a great job at even stopping that ball
• 1:45:24
  and trying to stop it off balance.
• 1:45:26
  It was scored as a hit for Simmons.
• 1:45:28
  Thorn came up and bowled out to Hartman.
• 1:45:30
  Dickey at bat walks filling the bag and Avril came up,
• 1:45:32
  doubles the right field, scoring Simmons and Fox.
• 1:45:34
  Then Geirger came to bat, walks loading the bases,
• 1:45:36
  roughing game up and a nice one, a huck when they left field,
• 1:45:39
  scoring Avril and Dickey.
• 1:45:41
  Bruce at bat, two on and one out.
• 1:45:43
  He smacks one nice down the first baseline to Bill Terry.
• 1:45:46
  Bill Terry took it just about two feet off the bag,
• 1:45:48
  back in the bag and kept on it to Dave Balb-Terry on assist.
• 1:45:52
  Then Kerring came up to bat and took three terrific swings
• 1:45:55
  at the ball and failed to connect with what Mungo had on it,
• 1:45:59
  retiring the side.
• 1:46:00
  Six runs, four hits and no errors,
• 1:46:02
  taking the score of the American League East
• 1:46:04
  and the National League Four.
• 1:46:06
  That's the score of the American League leading by four runs
• 1:46:09
  as we go into the National League half.
• 1:46:11
  the fifth inning, National Broadcasting Company
• 1:46:14
  bringing us to this play-by-play account
• 1:46:16
  of the Buffalo Ground in New York,
• 1:46:18
  a great all-star game between the stars of the American League
• 1:46:21
  and the stars of the National League
• 1:46:23
  for the old ballplayers who need their help now that these stars
• 1:46:26
  can get under them while they're in there playing great baseball,
• 1:46:29
  great baseball out here before some 60,000 fans
• 1:46:32
  who really love to come out here and see their favorites perform.
• 1:46:35
  As we said once before, it's a matter of seeing these ball clubs
• 1:46:38
  and I think there's nightmares.
• 1:46:40
  It proves to be when one after the other,
• 1:46:43
  they came up some up there, they're afraid to walk this way because then,
• 1:46:46
  look what you've got coming.
• 1:46:47
  Why, even when they walk to get to Robbie,
• 1:46:49
  the batting captain has packed out that ball into left field for a single.
• 1:46:53
  He's no longer in his zone without the National League
• 1:46:56
  at the State Half of New York City
• 1:46:59
  with the batting order coming up in this manner.
• 1:47:04
  We have Pepper Munch coming in to that.
• 1:47:08
  I believe he's going to be first.
• 1:47:09
  He's walking up that canyon back to the line
• 1:47:11
  while they're warming up there in the box.
• 1:47:14
  the American League pitcher is taking plays out there.
• 1:47:16
  Yes, sir, I believe there's a change in pitchers at this time.
• 1:47:20
  Or is it still the big red down there?
• 1:47:22
  It's still red ruffing down there in the box,
• 1:47:25
  pitching to Phil Dickey.
• 1:47:32
  Phil Dickey has been doing yeoman service in this baseball game.
• 1:47:35
  He's down there now taking ruffing.
• 1:47:37
  As Martin, the great hero of the 1931 World Series,
• 1:47:46
  is down there swinging his bat to get himself in shape
• 1:47:49
  to face the pitching of the big red, which isn't any easy thing to do.
• 1:47:54
  the old argument about whether the hitters will win the game
• 1:47:57
  or whether the pitchers will win the game
• 1:47:59
  has been turned inside out and then back again here this afternoon.
• 1:48:03
  In the first three innings when Hubbell had it on the American League batters
• 1:48:07
  and then here in the fourth and fifth when Warnocky and Mungo
• 1:48:14
  have been clapped pretty freely for six runs.
• 1:48:18
  Six runs in the fourth, eight runs in the fourth and fifth,
• 1:48:22
  two in the fourth, and six in the fifth.
• 1:48:27
  Two in the fourth and six in the fifth.
• 1:48:28
  That was the number that came in.
• 1:48:30
  There's some sort of a conference going on down here for a moment.
• 1:48:33
  the umpires have walked off the field and the boys in blue,
• 1:48:36
  two of them have come back on.
• 1:48:37
  I believe Rick Owens and George Majority have walked back in.
• 1:48:41
  the American League umpires were Charlie Furman and Dolly Stott.
• 1:48:45
  the National League umpires are off at the moment.
• 1:48:47
  We couldn't tell you because they disappeared from the diamond.
• 1:48:50
  And now, Steppen Martin has picked up two bats.
• 1:48:53
  He hasn't really thought he was going to get to step up a moment ago.
• 1:48:55
  He had dropped one of them, but he has two of them now,
• 1:48:58
  and he's keeping them high and mighty just like you do the night.
• 1:49:01
  He's letting it swing back over his shoulder, come down, tap his leg,
• 1:49:04
  and then back again.
• 1:49:07
  Down here for the moment in front of the plate is McKechnie,
• 1:49:11
  one of the coaches this afternoon.
• 1:49:13
  What a coaching staff we have and what a number of managers we have
• 1:49:16
  in this National League team of all styles who are out there on the diamond.
• 1:49:22
  Bill McKechnie is standing there talking to George Majority for the moment,
• 1:49:25
  while Zapping has drawn back to tossing him to Bill Dixon for the moment he had stopped.
• 1:49:31
  the players themselves are wondering what the conference is about,
• 1:49:33
  and it hasn't been discovered just yet.
• 1:49:36
  Now, ladies and gentlemen, we have here a gentleman whose wife we're sure you all know,
• 1:49:40
  one who became famous a number of years ago when he pulled a line
• 1:49:45
  with Sean and Mike the Tapshooter's shuttle.
• 1:49:47
  Come down here, Bill Mundy.
• 1:49:49
  I want you to say a word.
• 1:49:51
  Here's Bill Mundy, the gentleman from Georgia.
• 1:49:53
  Thank you, Bill.
• 1:49:55
  Good afternoon, folks, to the last three-round fumble.
• 1:49:58
  At the top of the morning, the doors that you have in California
• 1:50:01
  were probably having this broadcast with your breakfast coffee.
• 1:50:05
  By the show these boys are putting on up here in the foreground today,
• 1:50:09
  think of it, just about $3 million worth of baseball play and just for later.
• 1:50:17
  the Alpha and Omega of diamond perfection assembled to do model combat
• 1:50:22
  for most worthy cause.
• 1:50:25
  It serves about 50,000 people here, while there are some people like myself
• 1:50:29
  that looks like about 10 million.
• 1:50:32
  By the way, for a long time, I've wondered just where this boy Sean Menning
• 1:50:39
  self-reported him and feed him for his vibrant, big baseball broadcast.
• 1:50:45
  No longer in the dark, Alpha.
• 1:50:47
  I met him the other city.
• 1:50:49
  I found out his features.
• 1:50:51
  He's red-headed, style-topped.
• 1:50:54
  In fact, the most red-headed human being I ever saw.
• 1:50:57
  Think for yourself the most red-headed man, woman, and child you ever beheld.
• 1:51:02
  Multiply the state of his or her health by 25,
• 1:51:06
  and you'll have a big eye out just how red-headed Sean Menning is.
• 1:51:10
  I'm on my vacation out of here, and so I'll leave you now.
• 1:51:12
  You go to work, Sean.
• 1:51:14
  Hey, Bill, how's the old pal Bobby Jones out there?
• 1:51:17
  Television, the best in the world, the only one you know,
• 1:51:21
  made a clean, sweet, human-based rich,
• 1:51:25
  do-over-here in Atlanta, boy, and Atlanta's South-state, South-East County.
• 1:51:33
  Thanks a lot, Bill Monty.
• 1:51:34
  We certainly all enjoyed your broadcast of football games
• 1:51:38
  in regards to all the folks down in Atlanta.
• 1:51:41
  Ladies and gentlemen, today we are sending you the home-start game.
• 1:51:44
  Of course, you might tell it that we're being delayed here for a few moments.
• 1:51:47
  the umpires are changing now.
• 1:51:48
  the game is just half over, four-and-a-half innings with a score.
• 1:51:51
  the American League is eight, the National League is four.
• 1:51:54
  There's one change in the American League lineup now.
• 1:51:56
  Benny Chapman, which is due to be one of the fastest runners in the major leagues,
• 1:52:00
  replaces Babe Ruth in a right field for the American League.
• 1:52:04
  A company is going on.
• 1:52:05
  Tucker Martin is heading for Fungo.
• 1:52:08
  Red wrapping is still in the box, sticky behind the bat.
• 1:52:11
  In field is the same, popped to third, moment short, carrying her second, and Gary gets first.
• 1:52:17
  Tucker Martin, a right-hander, is up to spare the 1931 series.
• 1:52:20
  This is a matter for him.
• 1:52:21
  Tucker Martin, what he did in that series, will live forever and ever.
• 1:52:26
  And the count is four-two.
• 1:52:29
  It's the last half of the fifth inning for the American League.
• 1:52:32
  It's eight, the National League is four.
• 1:52:34
  Tucker Martin is batting for Dan Martin.
• 1:52:41
  Quick going, is behind the bat.
• 1:52:43
  Quick going, behind the bat.
• 1:52:45
  Moriarty is at second.
• 1:52:48
  Clearman is at third, and Clark is at first.
• 1:52:53
  Ball two and strike one.
• 1:52:55
  the Mexican tie inside, and it's ball three, speed one.
• 1:53:01
  And Mikey Fish is hanging around home, but after ball four,
• 1:53:04
  adds a little Keppelbach left.
• 1:53:07
  Keppelbach is on first base.
• 1:53:13
  In that series of 1931, every time that Tucker Martin got on, everybody started to give her hands.
• 1:53:19
  And it was just one thing, will he steal on the first ball, or will he wait for the second?
• 1:53:29
  Mikey Fish, Mikey is turning around there and batting him left-handed.
• 1:53:34
  Anybody who can watch one of that upper track of the bull is round two, right-handed.
• 1:53:39
  Maybe they better stay right here.
• 1:53:41
  This pitch is a cold strike.
• 1:53:43
  Back ball, still on the offensive, not a high.
• 1:53:48
  Right-hander to the counter, off-bridge.
• 1:53:55
  Ball, it's outside.
• 1:53:57
  Ball one and the strike one.
• 1:54:02
  By a charm of the fifth inning, the National League is just four runs behind, the score being eight to four.
• 1:54:07
  Tucker Martin gets the boys off on the right foot with a base on ball.
• 1:54:13
  Got a big lead down there at first.
• 1:54:17
  Strike four.
• 1:54:20
  Strike two and ball one.
• 1:54:25
  That was a fast ball just above the knee.
• 1:54:32
  Donnie Ruffing is in the box.
• 1:54:36
  Red Ruffing.
• 1:54:37
  Big red-headed picker.
• 1:54:38
  We red-headed were stick together.
• 1:54:40
  Strike two and ball one.
• 1:54:41
  There's a line.
• 1:54:42
  That's the same thing with the left-hander field.
• 1:54:45
  Martin's on it.
• 1:54:46
  Second coming to first.
• 1:54:47
  Women's has the ball.
• 1:54:48
  He turns it to second base and he's taken out by Kelly here.
• 1:54:51
  And Hicks drops it first. Martin drops it third.
• 1:54:57
  the second one of the afternoon for Frankie Fritz.
• 1:55:02
  Five-trainer.
• 1:55:04
  Manager and third baseman.
• 1:55:07
  Off the pitch for a while at the right-hand sticker is coming up next.
• 1:55:15
  Did you know that this five-trainer is a great fellow?
• 1:55:20
  Everybody around here today speaks very well of five-trainer and the manager, Fittsburg.
• 1:55:26
  He's up there now, ready to go.
• 1:55:27
  Hicks a ball.
• 1:55:28
  Low inside.
• 1:55:33
  That Ruffing takes a lot of time between the pitches, but he works slow and easy.
• 1:55:37
  Here it is.
• 1:55:38
  Hicks a strike.
• 1:55:39
  Ball.
• 1:55:40
  Ball one and strike one.
• 1:55:43
  Cover martin is on third base. Frankie Fritz is on first.
• 1:55:50
  the Cardinals are on the base.
• 1:55:53
  Ball one and strike one.
• 1:55:55
  Hicks has a ball up and back.
• 1:55:57
  Strike two.
• 1:55:59
  Strike two and ball one.
• 1:56:06
  the American Legion's battery at the moment is roughing in the box and Vicki behind the back.
• 1:56:14
  Infield is Jerry, Gerringer, Stonem, and Jimmy Fox is playing third.
• 1:56:21
  Strike two, ball one on the hitter.
• 1:56:23
  Trainers, the first hit the ball up and back to copy main.
• 1:56:26
  Strike two and ball one.
• 1:56:29
  Last half of the fifth inning.
• 1:56:33
  Everybody out.
• 1:56:36
  One is on first and second.
• 1:56:39
  And by Kraner is up there following him off with a count strike two and ball one.
• 1:56:46
  Joey Medwick is up there next.
• 1:56:48
  Here it is.
• 1:56:50
  the high follow up back in the stands.
• 1:56:55
  Ball one.
• 1:56:56
  Valley roughing is roughing the new ball.
• 1:57:05
  That's not a punt.
• 1:57:09
  Facing out of the umpire, crosses one out to boys using just like a foul.
• 1:57:14
  Typing the frustration all over.
• 1:57:17
  Alright, ready to go. Strike two and ball one.
• 1:57:19
  High trainer up.
• 1:57:20
  It's a strong ball.
• 1:57:21
  Charlie Gerringer had a hand on the ball and dropped it and kicked it out in the right field.
• 1:57:26
  Martin crossed the plate.
• 1:57:28
  But Charlie Gerringer was on that ball.
• 1:57:30
  Conley, all the way, kicked it up and held Frankie for just that second.
• 1:57:33
  That of course was scored as a base hit.
• 1:57:36
  That was a peak of a play by Charlie Gerringer.
• 1:57:39
  the ball was a grounder between first and second and it's passed Jerry.
• 1:57:43
  But Charlie Gerringer went over and had his glove hand on the ball.
• 1:57:46
  Formative for a moment and then when he was running at top speed he kicked the ball about 10 yards out forward.
• 1:57:52
  the right field foul line.
• 1:57:53
  But he was right on it and held Frankie for just that second.
• 1:57:56
  We'll have to run for the master leagueers and score his 8 to 5.
• 1:58:15
  Chuck Klein.
• 1:58:17
  Chuck Klein is going in the back for Joey Medley.
• 1:58:28
  Chuck Klein, you know, hits the left-hander.
• 1:58:30
  Strike, ball.
• 1:58:32
  Runners on first and second, nobody else.
• 1:58:35
  Strike two, swinging.
• 1:58:42
  Chuck Klein, you know, is the powerful hitter of the Chicago Tuck.
• 1:58:51
  Strike two on it, one called and then a long swing.
• 1:58:55
  Red Ruffin is pitching it, here it is.
• 1:58:57
  He's playing it, it's a base hit in the right field.
• 1:59:00
  Frankie Flitch is down and third.
• 1:59:01
  Steppen has the ball.
• 1:59:02
  Steppen throws the ball to Fox that's third, holding by 20 on that second.
• 1:59:08
  Frankie Flitch crosses the plate and the score is 8 to 6.
• 1:59:12
  8 to 6.
• 1:59:14
  And that's all for Mr. Charlie Ruffin.
• 1:59:19
  With a count of two and nothing, Chuck Klein, that one in there, fell by and hit a scorching
• 1:59:25
  line drive into right field.
• 1:59:32
  Mel Ott.
• 1:59:33
  Mel Ott.
• 1:59:35
  the drive lead is coming in, this is not a fifth of a jump, but Mel Ott is coming up
• 1:59:39
  to the plate swinging two backs.
• 1:59:41
  If he backs, he will back for tired, tired colors.
• 1:59:53
  Mel O'Hartner.
• 1:59:55
  Mel O'Hartner, the Cleveland Indians, is ambling in from deep left center field.
• 2:00:01
  the American Leaguers are warming up this afternoon in deep left center field and the
• 2:00:05
  National Leaguers full-back is in deep right center field.
• 2:00:09
  They're both the same distance apart, except that the American Leaguers, who are the visiting
• 2:00:14
  club today, incidentally, get plenty of good sunshine out there in center field, a lot
• 2:00:19
  of the good shade here over in right field.
• 2:00:24
  Mel O'Hartner, the Cleveland Indians have all got away to a rather cool start this year,
• 2:00:28
  pitching good baseball, allowing only a two hits per game, but was unable to win.
• 2:00:33
  But the last six times out he's going to win either.
• 2:00:40
  Mel O'Hartner, you know, and Justin Kibb, right hand pitcher.
• 2:00:45
  Go for it, and keep him as he nears short.
• 2:00:47
  Now that's a long walk from out there.
• 2:00:50
  Let's see, the sign is 455 feet away.
• 2:00:55
  455 feet out to the right center field.
• 2:00:59
  Mel O'Hartner's been warming up.
• 2:01:01
  Nice in the box, and it's started to warm up with catcher Bill Dickey.
• 2:01:07
  It's the last half of the fifth inning.
• 2:01:09
  This game has developed into a three-hitting affair after Carl Hubbell left the game.
• 2:01:17
  Carl Hubbell, no free hits, but Hubbell was in the box.
• 2:01:23
  This is the third American League pitcher of the afternoon.
• 2:01:26
  He started out with a storm as, and then we had Ruffing,
• 2:01:31
  and now this is the fifth inning we had Mel O'Hartner replacing Charlie Ruffing.
• 2:01:39
  On the last league batter's side, perhaps he wanted to create a stir for us in the major leagues.
• 2:01:45
  Mel O'Hartner, you know, is expected to have one of the finest serves in the majors today.
• 2:01:51
  That's a fairly good fast ball along with it.
• 2:02:00
  That reporter here, a moment ago, is select Mel O'Hart.
• 2:02:04
  Mel O'Hart, a New York giant, who started playing professional baseball at the age of 16
• 2:02:11
  and was going to be a great star ever since.
• 2:02:15
  He's really run that exciting game over in Washington last year with a long home run.
• 2:02:19
  It's going into back for Tykeye Garland.
• 2:02:22
  Mel O'Hartner hits it left handed.
• 2:02:24
  Here's the first pass, hits the high side of left field.
• 2:02:27
  Simmons is coming over fast, coming over, over, over.
• 2:02:30
  It's a foul.
• 2:02:31
  That ball was fouled by about one foot.
• 2:02:33
  With everybody running, Simmons going over.
• 2:02:37
  It was outside.
• 2:02:39
  Simmons missed it by about one yard, and it was outside at the foul line by about one foot.
• 2:02:45
  Yes, indeed, that had the fast ball stand up for a moment.
• 2:02:51
  Mel O'Hart, one of the first balls that looks like an inside ball that he stepped back on.
• 2:03:02
  It's the fifth inning.
• 2:03:03
  It's 4-8 to 6 in favor of the American League.
• 2:03:05
  There's nobody else.
• 2:03:06
  the tying ones are on first and second.
• 2:03:08
  Tyke one on Mel O'Hart.
• 2:03:10
  Here it is.
• 2:03:12
  Hits the low ball.
• 2:03:14
  That was a hook ball that was low inside right there, Mel's feet.
• 2:03:18
  And the count is ball one and strike one.
• 2:03:23
  This is certainly developing into a long baseball game.
• 2:03:29
  Ball one and strike one is the count on the hitter.
• 2:03:31
  Mel O'Hart, here it is.
• 2:03:33
  Hits the ball to down first base wave and it's foul.
• 2:03:35
  And it strikes two.
• 2:03:37
  First base coach says that ball is no good.
• 2:03:44
  It's all linked up to the umpire, and it's picked on and it's tossed out of nowhere.
• 2:03:48
  He'll throw the nil, Pepperbuck runs all the way up from the short,
• 2:03:51
  picks the ball up and hands it to Mel O'Hart.
• 2:03:54
  Butters the word.
• 2:03:55
  It's all of encouragement and then runs back to the short top of the...
• 2:04:02
  Count on Mel O'Hart.
• 2:04:03
  It's strike two and ball one.
• 2:04:05
  Runners on first and second to no.
• 2:04:08
  Trainer on second.
• 2:04:10
  And fine is on first.
• 2:04:17
  Mel O'Hart is up.
• 2:04:18
  Strike two and ball one.
• 2:04:19
  the pick hits outside.
• 2:04:20
  Ball two.
• 2:04:22
  Ball two and strike two.
• 2:04:27
  Two and two.
• 2:04:28
  Last half of the fifth inning.
• 2:04:29
  Eight to six in favor of the American Leaguers.
• 2:04:32
  Nobody out. Runners on first and second.
• 2:04:37
  Ball two and strike two and here it is.
• 2:04:40
  He gets a hold of that drive to the right field.
• 2:04:42
  Kaepernick, high, and he's trying to bring back the pitches.
• 2:04:45
  Picks the ball up and throws it to four on that second.
• 2:04:48
  And fine is forced at second base.
• 2:04:50
  That was a low line drive.
• 2:04:52
  the defending captain came in, had both hands on him, tried to catch it at the staff of his shoes,
• 2:04:57
  but dropped the ball.
• 2:04:58
  Fine thought that he was going to make the catch and pass back to first.
• 2:05:02
  Letting Kaepernick pick the ball up and whips it in to go four on that second.
• 2:05:06
  steps on the back and sucks for it and puts it forward.
• 2:05:10
  That's a lefty score.
• 2:05:11
  That's a base hit for an error.
• 2:05:16
  Mel O'Hart is safe at first.
• 2:05:17
  Donnerfield is strong.
• 2:05:19
  Five trainers went to third base.
• 2:05:21
  Now we have runners on first and third.
• 2:05:24
  One man out.
• 2:05:25
  Paul Wehner.
• 2:05:26
  Paul Wehner is going to pass for Wally Berger.
• 2:05:36
  Paul Wehner off of Pittsburgh Pirates is batting for Wally Berger.
• 2:05:44
  Paul Wehner, you're going to hit from the left-hander.
• 2:05:47
  the last deluge is from the last half of the fifth inning was two men out.
• 2:05:51
  Two men out.
• 2:05:55
  Paul Wehner, little left-hander.
• 2:05:58
  Paul Wehner, hard serve ball was low inside.
• 2:06:09
  As you can see, you know, last half of the fifth inning, one out.
• 2:06:12
  Runners on first and second.
• 2:06:14
  Wehner up.
• 2:06:16
  Such a ball.
• 2:06:18
  That was a burning back throw.
• 2:06:21
  Set high right down the alley.
• 2:06:24
  Ball one, strike one.
• 2:06:29
  Dallard is on first.
• 2:06:30
  Five trainers is on third.
• 2:06:32
  One man out.
• 2:06:33
  And the count is one and one on the hitter.
• 2:06:36
  It is, it's too low outside.
• 2:06:39
  Ball two.
• 2:06:40
  Ball two and strike one.
• 2:06:51
  Paul Wehner standing up there.
• 2:06:53
  Knocks the dirt off his shoes.
• 2:06:54
  Swinging that bat up and down with plenty of determination.
• 2:06:58
  Ball two, strike one on the hitter.
• 2:07:01
  Ball three, a back throw.
• 2:07:03
  Letter high, but it was inside.
• 2:07:06
  Ball three and strike one.
• 2:07:14
  Manager Bill Terry is hanging around home plate.
• 2:07:17
  He's got three substitute hitters attending.
• 2:07:19
  Fine, hot, and lowly half-waiters.
• 2:07:23
  Pretty fair three hole bench hitter.
• 2:07:27
  Ball three, strike one.
• 2:07:29
  Here it is.
• 2:07:31
  High ball coming right up here.
• 2:07:33
  Here's a baseball for your first day, Graham.
• 2:07:39
  Another day, Graham McAleenan is here celebrating his first day.
• 2:07:44
  He's been celebrating the better way coming out to a 12-ball game like this.
• 2:07:47
  Now three and two on the hitter.
• 2:07:49
  Paul Wehner is up there with runners on first and third.
• 2:07:53
  the count is three and two.
• 2:07:57
  Three and two.
• 2:07:59
  Here it is.
• 2:08:01
  McAleenan misses the ball to second base.
• 2:08:06
  Bill Tickey whips the ball around to second base.
• 2:08:09
  Lettott was clearing, but Oc tried to run Charlie Daniel and his tape and high play is scored.
• 2:08:16
  With a count three and two, here's that picture now.
• 2:08:18
  With a count three and two, high play was on third base.
• 2:08:21
  Lettott was on first.
• 2:08:23
  One man up.
• 2:08:24
  And with high meditation, Lettott took the ball for second base.
• 2:08:28
  Tickey whips the ball around to second after Wehner had swung and missed, making two outs and fell off while the floor had him beat.
• 2:08:37
  He stood around, started yelling in a second, and was declared safe by Oc George Moriarty.
• 2:08:44
  While this was going on, Paul Wehner scored and it's eight to seven now in favor of American Lincoln.
• 2:08:51
  the flying runners on second base were two outs and manager Memphis Will was up there at the plate.
• 2:09:00
  And of course, will be scored as a double steal.
• 2:09:07
  Moriarty is up.
• 2:09:08
  Ball on.
• 2:09:10
  Wehner's third ball was outside.
• 2:09:18
  Travis Jackson is to be the next batter.
• 2:09:21
  Last half of the fifth inning, the score eight to seven.
• 2:09:26
  Ball two.
• 2:09:28
  Bill Terry hit it.
• 2:09:29
  That last one was quite high up on outside.
• 2:09:31
  And the count is two and nothing.
• 2:09:37
  Two and nothing and Bella is on second base.
• 2:09:44
  It is ball three. Oh, and was brother Bill Terry ready to hit that one with a count two and nothing?
• 2:09:53
  Harlow's trying to keep the ball low outside for Memphis Will and now it's three and nothing.
• 2:10:02
  Three and nothing. Here it is.
• 2:10:04
  Right ball.
• 2:10:06
  Bill Terry went through some motions down there, pointing his bat directly forward.
• 2:10:11
  A little bit harder, a little bit harder.
• 2:10:14
  Flip that fast one right across.
• 2:10:16
  Still high.
• 2:10:17
  Ball three and strike one.
• 2:10:21
  Three and one.
• 2:10:22
  And here it is.
• 2:10:24
  Go ahead, he says.
• 2:10:25
  Ball four.
• 2:10:28
  Bill Terry walks.
• 2:10:30
  Now, out is on second.
• 2:10:34
  Jackson was up there ready to hit but he has walked back toward the Yankee or the National Leaguers dugout.
• 2:10:41
  We're going to have a structure two batter for him.
• 2:10:52
  I tell you that hockey ball out of Fitchburg is going to bat for him.
• 2:10:57
  That's not official, it's just.
• 2:11:02
  Coming up there with two bats, however.
• 2:11:08
  Bill McKinney, manager of the Blades, is running there to home plate and is having a bit of a conference with hockey ball.
• 2:11:19
  That's correct, now it's official.
• 2:11:21
  Fawn batting for Jackson.
• 2:11:24
  Fawn hits him left handed.
• 2:11:25
  Now the harder, the right-hander is in the box.
• 2:11:27
  Here's the pitch.
• 2:11:29
  Strike, ball.
• 2:11:31
  Fawn is in the box again quickly.
• 2:11:32
  Last time for the fifth inning, eight to seven in favor of the American Leaguers.
• 2:11:35
  Two men out.
• 2:11:36
  Bell out is on second.
• 2:11:37
  Bill Terry is on first.
• 2:11:40
  And hockey ball in.
• 2:11:42
  Fitchburg Pirates shortstop batting for Travis Jackson.
• 2:11:44
  He hits him left handed.
• 2:11:46
  the pitch.
• 2:11:47
  Ball.
• 2:11:48
  A hook ball hits the outside corner and the count is ball one and strike one.
• 2:11:57
  Hockey has a count of ball one and strike one.
• 2:12:00
  Gabby Hartnett coming up next.
• 2:12:03
  Here's the pitch.
• 2:12:05
  Ball two.
• 2:12:06
  That was over the high of the plate but too low.
• 2:12:09
  Now the count on Fawn.
• 2:12:11
  Ball two and strike one.
• 2:12:17
  Somebody just remarked it's a good thing they started early.
• 2:12:19
  They've been playing just two hours right now.
• 2:12:22
  Ball two and strike one.
• 2:12:23
  Fawn is the hitter.
• 2:12:24
  Runners on first and second.
• 2:12:26
  Hitter.
• 2:12:27
  the foul ball is on short.
• 2:12:30
  Fawn comes up with a foul.
• 2:12:31
  We're down there.
• 2:12:32
  14.40 seconds and that requires the National Leaguers for the fifth inning.
• 2:12:37
  the score is eight to seven in favor of the American Leaguers.
• 2:12:40
  We're going to have plenty of changes as we start the sixth inning.
• 2:12:44
  Come in, Fawn.
• 2:12:46
  And here's that National League fifth in which they came up three runs.
• 2:12:49
  They failed now by one run.
• 2:12:51
  Eight to seven in favor of the American League.
• 2:12:53
  Martin came up and walked.
• 2:12:55
  Martin the bat smacked out a single to left center.
• 2:12:58
  And Martin wheeled his way around the third.
• 2:13:00
  Then Treanor came up two on and nobody out.
• 2:13:03
  Martin smacked a single off the end of his glove.
• 2:13:04
  Down a second scoring Martin and setting fish.
• 2:13:07
  Down two seconds.
• 2:13:09
  Klein up to back Fawn Medwick.
• 2:13:11
  Two on and nobody out and he smacked the harp into right field.
• 2:13:14
  Going free.
• 2:13:15
  Then Oc.
• 2:13:16
  Oc cleared up the plate.
• 2:13:17
  Too bad in place of Ty Ty Tyler.
• 2:13:20
  Starting off by the second man of the 372 batter that came up in this inning.
• 2:13:24
  the four rather.
• 2:13:25
  And Mel Harder was immediately signaled for from the bullpen and came in and replaced Ruffing.
• 2:13:31
  After three men had come in and banged the head off Ruffing.
• 2:13:35
  Ruffing retired then from the game.
• 2:13:38
  His record wasn't bad for the innings he had picked.
• 2:13:41
  Third, fourth, he was out the fourth and half the fifth.
• 2:13:45
  He had two runs scored on him.
• 2:13:47
  Three hits and had given one walk.
• 2:13:48
  These three hits all the way right of the way was pulled.
• 2:13:50
  And Mel Harder, the great serve ball artist of Cleveland, came in to replace him for the American League.
• 2:13:56
  Mel Lopp was the first man to face him.
• 2:13:57
  Two on and nobody out.
• 2:13:58
  He smacked the liner out to Chapman.
• 2:14:00
  Ben Chapman who had replaced Dave Ruth in right field.
• 2:14:03
  Who stopped it and threw the second after getting it forcing Glenn up.
• 2:14:07
  Scored as a fielder's choice.
• 2:14:09
  Paul Winner came up to bat for Berger.
• 2:14:10
  Struck out on the third strike.
• 2:14:12
  Kleiner scored on a double steal.
• 2:14:13
  Mel Lopp saved the second.
• 2:14:15
  Although it had been tagged down there by Bill Dickey down to Garrett.
• 2:14:19
  Terry came up and walked.
• 2:14:21
  One on and two out.
• 2:14:22
  Barbong came up with two on.
• 2:14:25
  And the bat for Jackson smacked one down.
• 2:14:28
  Two short.
• 2:14:29
  Forcing Terry out a second.
• 2:14:31
  Short, two seconds.
• 2:14:32
  That is thrown in to Garrett.
• 2:14:34
  So we go into the sixth inning with the National League trailing the American League by one run.
• 2:14:39
  the score of the American League is the National League seven.
• 2:14:42
  We go into the sixth inning of this red hot ball game of the All-Stars.
• 2:14:46
  Front field with the National Broadcasting Company.
• 2:14:49
  Polo down with Tom Manning giving you the play back leg.
• 2:14:51
  Come in Tom.
• 2:14:52
  Here's the changes before we start.
• 2:14:54
  In the National League of Fly-In, Mel Lopp replaces Tyler in right.
• 2:14:57
  Paul Winner replaces Berger in center.
• 2:14:59
  Cray replaced Sedwick in left.
• 2:15:02
  Paulin replaced Jackson in short.
• 2:15:04
  And Tizzy Dean, the favorite of Cardinals, is in the box.
• 2:15:08
  And Lopez is the gotcha for the National League.
• 2:15:12
  Jimmy Foxx puts the start to sixth inning.
• 2:15:14
  H is serving an O in favor of the American League.
• 2:15:17
  And the count on Jimmy Foxx is ball one and the classroom with a called strike.
• 2:15:22
  Ball one and a strike one.
• 2:15:26
  Foxx is up and Harold Simmons is hanging him out.
• 2:15:30
  Ball one and strike one.
• 2:15:31
  First man up in the sixth inning.
• 2:15:35
  Ball two.
• 2:15:37
  Tizzy Dean shoving up a change of pace offering.
• 2:15:40
  That was just too low.
• 2:15:45
  Two and one.
• 2:15:46
  Here it is.
• 2:15:48
  Strike two and two.
• 2:15:53
  Ball two and strike two.
• 2:15:56
  Boy Tizzy Dean is missing a lot of pace ball.
• 2:15:59
  Here for the St. Louis Stars.
• 2:16:01
  Brother in fifth and great game two.
• 2:16:03
  Strike three.
• 2:16:04
  Swinging.
• 2:16:05
  With a count two and two.
• 2:16:07
  Dean jumps on the gas.
• 2:16:10
  Jumps over a burning fastball and box one and fifth.
• 2:16:15
  One man up in the first half of the sixth inning.
• 2:16:18
  Al Simmons is playing left field and crossing is up.
• 2:16:26
  Al Simmons an old batch of right-handers.
• 2:16:33
  It's the first ball, Chris, the very high-flying short white center field with Chris hot everybody on it.
• 2:16:40
  Chris gets his hands on the ball but drops it.
• 2:16:45
  Chris backs out of the short white center field and Wade Wehner is on the way.
• 2:16:50
  He has both hands on the ball but it got away and Al Simmons waits to second base.
• 2:16:56
  It is scored as a two-base hit.
• 2:17:03
  That's scored as a two-base hit for Al Simmons.
• 2:17:08
  In the sixth inning, nobody else.
• 2:17:12
  Manager Joe Coleman is up.
• 2:17:13
  Joe, you're an old batch of right-handers.
• 2:17:18
  That was a very high-flying ball.
• 2:17:20
  Must be because the Frankie Fritz was looking right up into the scum.
• 2:17:25
  Very possible that one of the outfielders, either out or Paul Wehner, should have made the catch.
• 2:17:30
  But he's directed to drive for it and the last moment he had to drive for it
• 2:17:34
  and the official score was the opinion that it should be scored as a two-base hit.
• 2:17:40
  A little moment later by George Molyardy, Wade New York's finest out of that front lay out in center field.
• 2:17:49
  the police are out there keeping the crowd in order and George has the opinion that they're in the way.
• 2:17:54
  the first ball hits the line.
• 2:17:56
  Over trainers head into left field.
• 2:17:58
  the ball rolls out to the left field corner.
• 2:18:00
  Simmons runs, turns and scores.
• 2:18:02
  the goal is to friction second base.
• 2:18:04
  Coleman tries to ball the line.
• 2:18:06
  Coleman has faced a two-base hit.
• 2:18:08
  Number seven in favor of the American Stakers.
• 2:18:24
  Ball rolled out against the billboard in the left field corner.
• 2:18:29
  Bill Zickey is up.
• 2:18:30
  Strike, ball.
• 2:18:33
  Nobody else.
• 2:18:34
  Here's Merckx on second base.
• 2:18:38
  One man out, that's right, one man out and Coleman is on second base.
• 2:18:42
  Bill Zickey is up and the count is strike one.
• 2:18:47
  Jimmy Fox is strike now.
• 2:18:52
  Strike, ball, two and nothing.
• 2:18:59
  First half of the sixth inning, nine to seven in favor of the American League team.
• 2:19:03
  Bill Coleman is on second, one out and Bill Zickey the batter has a count of two strikes.
• 2:19:10
  Averill hanging around home plate.
• 2:19:13
  Ball one, high outside.
• 2:19:17
  Strike two, ball one.
• 2:19:24
  Dizzy Dean of the St. Louis Cardinals of the National League is in the box.
• 2:19:32
  the ball high outside and the count on catcher Bill Zickey is two and two.
• 2:19:42
  Ball two and strike two.
• 2:19:44
  First half of the sixth inning, nine to seven in favor of the American League.
• 2:19:49
  Here's the pick.
• 2:19:51
  Ball through.
• 2:19:54
  Not the sort of a dizzy curve ball that was in there too low.
• 2:19:58
  Bill Zickey getting his feet out of the way of it.
• 2:20:00
  And now the count is three and two.
• 2:20:05
  Bill Coleman is on second base.
• 2:20:10
  Averill left hand hitter is next up.
• 2:20:13
  Three and two, the picks are far back.
• 2:20:19
  That ball hit Lopez on the wrist.
• 2:20:22
  He's letting it allow him for a moment.
• 2:20:27
  It's been a rather large afternoon for about 60,000 baseball fans at the Polar Ground here in New York this afternoon.
• 2:20:35
  They've watched a lot of baseball.
• 2:20:39
  Three and two on the hitter, another far back.
• 2:20:44
  One of the highlights of this afternoon's game is to arrive here early and watch the batting practice.
• 2:20:50
  You know there's just a great array of hitters out here in both leagues, finest hitters in the country.
• 2:20:55
  There were hitters shooting him down the alley.
• 2:20:57
  They were slapping him the whole part of this Polar Ground.
• 2:21:00
  Ready to go again.
• 2:21:01
  One out, throwing him on second.
• 2:21:02
  Three and two on Bill Zickey.
• 2:21:03
  the pick.
• 2:21:04
  Ball four and Zickey's left.
• 2:21:10
  Earl Averill coming up.
• 2:21:12
  Averill, he's trying to steal the victory of the Indians.
• 2:21:16
  He came in as a substitute for Robert Osorrez and Cipolle to seek.
• 2:21:20
  He's going to be misplaced, he's going to be misplaced, exploded and back to the club over the right field corner.
• 2:21:25
  Time has been called for a moment.
• 2:21:27
  Al Strach is running out towards second base.
• 2:21:32
  Let's see, trying to have a substitute runner I believe.
• 2:21:36
  Yes, I believe Mickey Coughlin is going to run for Bill Zickey.
• 2:21:42
  Mickey Coughlin replaces Bill Zickey, running at first base and of course Mike will probably catch.
• 2:21:51
  There he's doing a great job of managing the Detroit Tigers team.
• 2:21:55
  Just a half game out of first place.
• 2:21:59
  Zickey's one fine ball player on a slow shot.
• 2:22:02
  Ready to go.
• 2:22:03
  Averill is up there with Coughlin on first.
• 2:22:05
  Coughlin on second.
• 2:22:09
  First pitch to Averill is a foul.
• 2:22:12
  A burning fastball is inside.
• 2:22:17
  Here it is.
• 2:22:19
  Ball two.
• 2:22:21
  Slow sweeping curve ball is outside.
• 2:22:25
  Out on Earl Averill, the Islamic fuggers.
• 2:22:31
  Ball two.
• 2:22:34
  Now three. Fastball to Coughlin's side and now the column A will have three and nothing.
• 2:22:43
  Charlie Gannigan is coming up next.
• 2:22:50
  Mike's called.
• 2:22:52
  Oh it's rather funny I heard this afternoon watching one of these managers ordering a lot of other managers around.
• 2:22:59
  the team managers today, Terry and Coughlin.
• 2:23:05
  Three and one on Averill.
• 2:23:07
  High foul up and back.
• 2:23:09
  And the count is three and two.
• 2:23:15
  Ball three and strike two.
• 2:23:17
  First half of the sixth inning in 08-7.
• 2:23:19
  Nine to seven rather.
• 2:23:20
  Nine to seven in favor of the American League.
• 2:23:26
  A full count of three and two.
• 2:23:29
  Dizzy Dean's all right handers getting ready to pitch.
• 2:23:32
  Here it is.
• 2:23:33
  Three and two is the count of play at second base.
• 2:23:36
  Coughlin slides.
• 2:23:37
  He's safe.
• 2:23:38
  Occy Bowling back over the back and stolen a second that time.
• 2:23:42
  That's when Dean was ready to shoot the ball straight work and he turned and flipped it to second base.
• 2:23:49
  Now he's ready again.
• 2:23:50
  There's the stretch.
• 2:23:51
  Three and two on Averill's hitter.
• 2:23:55
  Occy Bowling moving around looking out for a second.
• 2:23:57
  Now Dean steps out of the box.
• 2:24:02
  Devon and Jocelyn are having a little game of hide and go seek down at second base.
• 2:24:10
  Now finally he's ready.
• 2:24:11
  Here it is.
• 2:24:12
  Three and two.
• 2:24:13
  Strike three.
• 2:24:14
  He swings.
• 2:24:15
  That's Occy Bowling at second base.
• 2:24:16
  Four times is running down.
• 2:24:17
  All the way to Stewart.
• 2:24:18
  Yes, going up.
• 2:24:19
  And he crosses the ball to Coughlin and Coughlin is out.
• 2:24:27
  But one is on first and second.
• 2:24:29
  Her way through at a count of three and two.
• 2:24:31
  He's swung at the first strike.
• 2:24:33
  So Coughlin started for third base.
• 2:24:36
  Then turned around and started back to second.
• 2:24:38
  Lopez the attacker ran all the way down to the shortstop position.
• 2:24:42
  And in fact made a strike for Coughlin and missed him.
• 2:24:45
  Then Coughlin dashed to second base and he crossed the ball forward to Coughlin and Coughlin was tagged out.
• 2:24:50
  Come in for it.
• 2:24:51
  That was a funny double play on the whole crowd like this.
• 2:24:55
  Lopez running out almost the second time.
• 2:24:58
  That's running around the line.
• 2:24:59
  Then crossing to second.
• 2:25:00
  And then the second he crossed that ball to Coughlin and so there throwing down to first.
• 2:25:05
  Or tying the side after the strikeout.
• 2:25:07
  Yes sir, that was the kind, that was one of those that you can put in the books.
• 2:25:11
  That is it was a regular scheduled game.
• 2:25:13
  A very peculiar double play and one that gave the crowd a thrill.
• 2:25:17
  Dean opened the American League six pitching for the Nationals.
• 2:25:21
  Replacing Mungo at the start of the sixth.
• 2:25:23
  Fox was the first man to come up to facing here in the American League half to six.
• 2:25:27
  In which they lead nine to seven.
• 2:25:29
  Fox up.
• 2:25:30
  Fox to the top went through two and two and Fox struck out.
• 2:25:33
  Simmons came up.
• 2:25:34
  Fly to short city.
• 2:25:35
  Great.
• 2:25:36
  Backed out for it.
• 2:25:37
  Dropped it.
• 2:25:38
  Joe Farser came down the sun.
• 2:25:40
  And it was scored by the official scorer as a two base hit for Simmons.
• 2:25:44
  Coughlin up to bat.
• 2:25:45
  Double hard in the left field.
• 2:25:47
  Over third base scoring Simmons.
• 2:25:49
  Dickey came up.
• 2:25:50
  One on and one out.
• 2:25:51
  Down went to three and two and he walked.
• 2:25:53
  And Cotton went in to run boring.
• 2:25:55
  Averill came to bat.
• 2:25:56
  Two on and one out.
• 2:25:59
  And then endued that double play at the strike.
• 2:26:04
  With, as he swung hard at the ball with Lopez.
• 2:26:08
  Going down to second.
• 2:26:10
  It was in one of those plays where both men had moved off their backs.
• 2:26:13
  Started to run.
• 2:26:14
  And Averill swung hard.
• 2:26:16
  Lopez then seeing the situation ran out.
• 2:26:18
  the runners, Coughlin and Coughlin wondering just what was happening.
• 2:26:24
  They both were in a position where they could hardly go back without the ball being thrown to base.
• 2:26:28
  In which they were trying to return.
• 2:26:29
  Second they could brave it out.
• 2:26:31
  And that funny play which Tom Manning described to you in turning off this sixth inning.
• 2:26:36
  So here we go into the sevens with the Americans leading nine to seven.
• 2:26:39
  And Tom Manning to give you the play by play.
• 2:26:41
  Here we go.
• 2:26:42
  That's the one of the last seven to six boys.
• 2:26:44
  National league coming to bat.
• 2:26:45
  And it's nine to seven.
• 2:26:47
  Nine to seven in favor of the American Leaguers.
• 2:26:49
  And Lopez is the first hitter.
• 2:26:53
  Lopez you don't hit them right handed.
• 2:26:54
  No harder is it than a box four.
• 2:26:57
  the American Leaguers and Mickey Coughlin is got you.
• 2:27:01
  Counts ball one.
• 2:27:03
  And swings and misses.
• 2:27:05
  That's right.
• 2:27:06
  Ball one and strike one.
• 2:27:08
  On Lopez.
• 2:27:10
  Lopez can always be played.
• 2:27:11
  Gabby Horton that's behind the back for the National League.
• 2:27:15
  Score nine to seven.
• 2:27:17
  Attempts to cause Jimmy Fox up by laying down a bump but the ball is followed.
• 2:27:21
  Strike two.
• 2:27:26
  That looks like a pretty good idea there for a moment.
• 2:27:30
  Not for the most part.
• 2:27:31
  Three times Jimmy Fox has played third base at least regularly.
• 2:27:38
  Jimmy Fox came into the American League all the time ago as a gasser.
• 2:27:41
  Then turned out to be third tracker and finally a first base.
• 2:27:47
  Tell me he looks pretty good over that first too.
• 2:27:50
  Particularly so when he's up to bat for the National Band.
• 2:27:54
  Strike two ball one on Lopez.
• 2:27:59
  Strike three.
• 2:28:01
  That was a beautiful hook ball coming over there about letter high.
• 2:28:04
  Both way down around the knees with Lopez swinging over the ball.
• 2:28:12
  Well Mr. Dean is coming up now.
• 2:28:14
  Mr. Dean at the same time as a target.
• 2:28:24
  Mixed ball following and always backs him and throws him right handed.
• 2:28:29
  Now harder for the Indians to the box.
• 2:28:31
  Mike Coughlin of the Tigers behind the back.
• 2:28:35
  Balls the first one up third.
• 2:28:36
  Strike.
• 2:28:38
  Fast half of the sixth inning.
• 2:28:39
  the score nine to seven in favor of the American League.
• 2:28:49
  Mr. Dean the back and the top strike one.
• 2:28:54
  Ball run.
• 2:28:56
  Nicky Coughlin takes the ball out of the third.
• 2:28:58
  And whips it back to Mel Harder twenty-fifth.
• 2:29:01
  Ball run and strike one.
• 2:29:09
  There's the pitch one and one on the hitter.
• 2:29:12
  Strike two ball.
• 2:29:16
  Third ball is for Stoveheye.
• 2:29:22
  Mike Coughlin ball on the American League is in field.
• 2:29:25
  the man is just as good as the start.
• 2:29:30
  That was a ball not so good.
• 2:29:31
  Two and two.
• 2:29:36
  Last half of the sixth inning one man out.
• 2:29:39
  Frankie Fish coming up next.
• 2:29:44
  Two and two.
• 2:29:46
  Out the long pass of the left field.
• 2:29:47
  Simmons coming in fast.
• 2:29:48
  Oh he makes a beautiful run in fast.
• 2:29:50
  Lehigh coming in there at top speed.
• 2:29:52
  About low line guard.
• 2:29:54
  And now that's two out.
• 2:29:56
  Two out and nobody out.
• 2:30:00
  Mike Fish coming up.
• 2:30:04
  Frankie has a whole run based on balls and a single out of three trips to the plate.
• 2:30:10
  Frankie you know, maxed up, ball up into the right field, upper deck for a home run.
• 2:30:15
  First up on the first inning.
• 2:30:20
  Very good.
• 2:30:21
  Harder's fast ball is just a little bit too high.
• 2:30:25
  Harder's pitching.
• 2:30:26
  Coughlin's gapping.
• 2:30:27
  Two out.
• 2:30:28
  Last half of the sixth inning.
• 2:30:29
  Frankie Fish is up.
• 2:30:31
  Ball one.
• 2:30:32
  This is round ball by Stork-Holland.
• 2:30:34
  Comes up with it.
• 2:30:35
  Marcus and Jerry.
• 2:30:36
  Fish is out.
• 2:30:38
  That's all for the National Leaguers in the sixth inning.
• 2:30:41
  They've restored the American Leaguers 9, the National Leaguers 7.
• 2:30:45
  This game is being sent to you by the National Broadcasting Company.
• 2:30:48
  Get in for a bounce.
• 2:30:49
  Well that's the end of the sixth down.
• 2:30:51
  That's a read.
• 2:30:52
  And the snap lead to the half of the sixth.
• 2:30:55
  Just now in field.
• 2:30:57
  And the National Leaguers up at bat lead off by Lopez.
• 2:31:01
  Lopez is the captain.
• 2:31:02
  the crowd is all getting up for the old seven inning stretch.
• 2:31:05
  Here at the solo grounds, the all-star game between the American and National Leagues.
• 2:31:11
  Lopez lead off.
• 2:31:12
  the cap went to one ball and two strikes.
• 2:31:15
  And then he swung hard and went down swinging.
• 2:31:18
  One out.
• 2:31:19
  Dean then came up.
• 2:31:20
  Dizzy Dean.
• 2:31:21
  the Dizzy of the Dean brothers.
• 2:31:22
  As sometimes you read about him.
• 2:31:24
  Came up and the cap went to two and two.
• 2:31:26
  And then he smacked one into left field.
• 2:31:29
  Simmons coming in very fast courted right at his knees.
• 2:31:32
  Making a beautiful running shot out of Dean's fly out into left.
• 2:31:36
  That was two outs for the National Leaguers in the sixth.
• 2:31:39
  Then Frankie Frey.
• 2:31:40
  Gordon Flats came up to bat.
• 2:31:43
  Fishbanger hard one down to short.
• 2:31:46
  Go on and look at him deep short.
• 2:31:48
  Wheels got him down to first.
• 2:31:50
  Luke Erick retiring the National League in the sixth.
• 2:31:52
  We go into the seventh.
• 2:31:53
  the seventh.
• 2:31:54
  That's right.
• 2:31:55
  Fifth time with the American League leading nine to seven.
• 2:31:56
  Here's Tom Manning to give you the play-by-play of the seventh inning.
• 2:32:00
  Laurie Herman replaces Mikey Fritz at second base for the National League.
• 2:32:05
  Laurie Herman is playing second in place of Fritz.
• 2:32:09
  Going is up.
• 2:32:10
  Ball in.
• 2:32:13
  Down two.
• 2:32:14
  Dizzy Dean is still in the box for the National Leaguers with Lopez behind the back.
• 2:32:19
  That's not good for Lopez on field.
• 2:32:24
  Not a good on this two and nothing.
• 2:32:26
  First foul.
• 2:32:30
  Ball three and strike one.
• 2:32:35
  First foul for the seventh inning.
• 2:32:36
  Nine to seven.
• 2:32:37
  the American League.
• 2:32:38
  Ball three.
• 2:32:41
  Amazing.
• 2:32:42
  Two balls, three high.
• 2:32:44
  Three and one.
• 2:32:51
  Here it is.
• 2:32:53
  Ball three and strike.
• 2:32:56
  Ball three and strike for the Huskers.
• 2:33:05
  Ball three and strike for the South Dominion.
• 2:33:08
  Look out.
• 2:33:10
  the Lions match up here in the third and the foul remains.
• 2:33:12
  And it shall remain clean and clean.
• 2:33:21
  As it slams out to right field, looks like a base clock.
• 2:33:23
  It is! Just inside the line.
• 2:33:25
  Kerringer's going to second.
• 2:33:27
  Oh, here's the throw!
• 2:33:28
  the 20-point!
• 2:33:29
  He's out!
• 2:33:31
  He is out at second base.
• 2:33:33
  Kind of Kerringer playing one down into the right field.
• 2:33:36
  Fires out off the floor with that on the ball.
• 2:33:38
  Picks it up and the ball.
• 2:33:39
  Kerringer arriving almost at the same time.
• 2:33:42
  Kerringer's sliding in.
• 2:33:43
  Hockey-borne took that ball and
• 2:33:45
  locked it on Kerringer for a sweet, close play.
• 2:33:49
  Pumpired George Moriarty at his nose.
• 2:33:51
  Knocked five inches from that play.
• 2:33:53
  20-to-clerk Kerringer out.
• 2:33:55
  Well, that's another hit for Carly.
• 2:33:58
  Two hits.
• 2:33:59
  Two bases on the ball.
• 2:34:00
  One out.
• 2:34:02
  Mel Harder is up.
• 2:34:03
  the American Leaguers pickers.
• 2:34:05
  Mel hit all fast and smooth right-hander.
• 2:34:16
  Mel Harder is up there.
• 2:34:18
  And the count is 4-1.
• 2:34:19
  And strike one.
• 2:34:20
  First half of the seventh inning.
• 2:34:22
  One man out.
• 2:34:23
  Nobody on.
• 2:34:24
  Here it is.
• 2:34:25
  Strike two.
• 2:34:26
  He cuts and misses.
• 2:34:32
  Harder hurt his fingernail swinging that time.
• 2:34:34
  He's out of the box and looks at it.
• 2:34:36
  Put his right back in there.
• 2:34:37
  Strike two, ball one.
• 2:34:38
  the pitch.
• 2:34:40
  Swung rather feebly at that one.
• 2:34:42
  He started to swing and then tried to hold the swing.
• 2:34:44
  And it was a foul ball.
• 2:34:47
  Strike two and ball one.
• 2:34:50
  That was dangerously close to being a bunch.
• 2:34:56
  Strike two and ball one.
• 2:34:57
  And here it is.
• 2:34:59
  Strike three.
• 2:35:00
  He swings as misses.
• 2:35:02
  First half of the seventh inning.
• 2:35:04
  Two men out.
• 2:35:06
  Penny Chapman is coming up.
• 2:35:14
  In the American League lineup at present,
• 2:35:16
  the pitcher is batting second.
• 2:35:20
  That occurs because early for the hit for the pitcher
• 2:35:23
  went into the ball game.
• 2:35:24
  And of course he was better.
• 2:35:25
  He hits the first ball, hits the ball,
• 2:35:26
  strikes in the deep center field,
• 2:35:28
  hits going, going out against the center field.
• 2:35:32
  Chapman is batting second.
• 2:35:33
  Here's the ball.
• 2:35:34
  Chapman's going to third.
• 2:35:36
  He drops it for a base.
• 2:35:38
  That was a long strike out against the 455 foot line
• 2:35:43
  and left center field.
• 2:35:47
  Chuck Klein and Paul Wehner both dashing out there for it.
• 2:35:51
  But they were a mile away from it.
• 2:35:53
  Here's the vernacular.
• 2:35:54
  Both got right on going.
• 2:35:56
  Hands to the plant about against the scoreboard.
• 2:36:04
  That was quite a stock buy for Penny Chapman.
• 2:36:07
  And how that baby can dash around the base.
• 2:36:11
  Two men out.
• 2:36:12
  And Luke Gehrig is up.
• 2:36:16
  You tell me this Gehrig is quite a ball player.
• 2:36:20
  Two men out.
• 2:36:21
  Chapman on third.
• 2:36:23
  Disney's team, the white hander is in the box.
• 2:36:25
  And Luke Gehrig is up.
• 2:36:27
  Strike one.
• 2:36:28
  Call.
• 2:36:34
  Here's the windup.
• 2:36:37
  Ball.
• 2:36:38
  A burning back ball is high on the outside
• 2:36:40
  on the count on Gehrig's ball one and strike two.
• 2:36:47
  Luke Gehrig is off.
• 2:36:48
  Pump fire Olin to examine the ball.
• 2:36:51
  He does.
• 2:36:52
  Luke Gehrig was right.
• 2:36:54
  Ball is both out of the game and now we have a new one.
• 2:37:01
  Count on Larabee-Louis ball one and strike one.
• 2:37:08
  First half of the seventh inning, nine to seven in favor of the American League.
• 2:37:11
  Nine to seven.
• 2:37:12
  To us.
• 2:37:13
  Chapman is on third.
• 2:37:16
  Strike.
• 2:37:17
  Call.
• 2:37:18
  Out of the count on Luke Gehrig is strike two and ball one.
• 2:37:30
  Four-five Disney's team is looking at Gehrig saying
• 2:37:33
  you're just a big bad wolf and I ain't scared.
• 2:37:36
  It is two-one.
• 2:37:38
  Strike three.
• 2:37:39
  Call.
• 2:37:40
  That was a fast ball right by the alley.
• 2:37:43
  So high with plenty on it.
• 2:37:45
  That's all for the game.
• 2:37:47
  That's all for the American League and the seventh inning.
• 2:37:50
  I want to mention the grab balloon that is on it.
• 2:37:52
  Judge Landis is out there as is Mrs. Landis
• 2:37:56
  and plenty of the baseball owners throughout the American and National Leagues.
• 2:38:03
  It's all up for the old seventh inning.
• 2:38:05
  Strike together.
• 2:38:06
  Here's four-five.
• 2:38:07
  Come on, four-five.
• 2:38:08
  That's from all the Americans.
• 2:38:09
  From all the fans.
• 2:38:10
  the American League fans, the National League fans here in New York.
• 2:38:13
  They're out to root and doing plenty of rooting and getting plenty to root about in this all-star game
• 2:38:18
  with the National Broadcasting Company is bringing to you.
• 2:38:20
  First pass to seventh league, seventh inning with the American League.
• 2:38:25
  Judge is firing now to let the National Leagueers come in for their half of it.
• 2:38:28
  It's not as though that fan was gearing to his bat.
• 2:38:30
  It went to three and two and he smacked one off the right field side.
• 2:38:34
  the second was out to second.
• 2:38:35
  Off to Vaughn.
• 2:38:36
  Off wing gets down to Vaughn and a very close decision there.
• 2:38:39
  Gehrig's it was out.
• 2:38:41
  Harder then came up.
• 2:38:42
  the count went to one and two and he swung hard and two and then were gone.
• 2:38:46
  Then Ben Chapman replaced Dave Ruth in right field.
• 2:38:49
  Ben Chapman came up to bat.
• 2:38:51
  Leamed on that old apple hard and he smashed the leather way up to the bullpen in left field.
• 2:38:57
  Four hundred and fifty-five foot marks from the plate.
• 2:39:01
  That's a re-four hundred and fifty-five foot mark out there for a three-pagger.
• 2:39:05
  He wheeled his way in the third and looked for a moment as if he wanted to try to tuck it into a homer.
• 2:39:10
  Gehrig came up and went out on false strike.
• 2:39:14
  So we go into the nationally dropped to seven.
• 2:39:17
  the American League leading nine to seven.
• 2:39:18
  Coming down.
• 2:39:20
  My trainer, four days into the sixth and final, his first step of right hand huddle was no harder than the box from the American League.
• 2:39:27
  And then he stopped in behind the bat.
• 2:39:31
  the first pitch to my trainer is a false strike.
• 2:39:38
  the ball swings at the foul, strike two.
• 2:39:43
  the American League infield is Gehrig, Gallinger, Cronin, and Fox.
• 2:39:49
  In the outfield at the moment, Simmons on left, Averill in center, and Chapman on left.
• 2:39:54
  the battery being harder and Coughlin.
• 2:39:58
  Strike two on the header, trainer.
• 2:40:01
  Ball one.
• 2:40:02
  Coughlin is outside. Coughlin is throwing that ball down toward third.
• 2:40:10
  Probably thought he had a corner, but the count is two and one.
• 2:40:16
  Strike two and ball one.
• 2:40:18
  Here it is.
• 2:40:21
  A tipped foul gets away from Coughlin and the count remains.
• 2:40:24
  Strike two and ball one.
• 2:40:29
  My trainer, first man up with a match in the league in the last half of the seventh inning.
• 2:40:38
  Here it is.
• 2:40:40
  As a high flyboard right field, it's Fowl.
• 2:40:44
  And the count remains two and one.
• 2:40:47
  That was a long strike that hit the bow here in front of the floorboard and right field.
• 2:40:57
  My trainer has a counter strike two and ball one, leading off for the master league in the last half of the seventh inning.
• 2:41:03
  the American League nine, the master league seven.
• 2:41:06
  the pitch, a brown ball down, first off way.
• 2:41:09
  Keep short, Cronin has it.
• 2:41:11
  He's out.
• 2:41:12
  A beautiful long throw from keep short by Joey Cronin.
• 2:41:15
  Gehrig, stretching full length to snag that ball.
• 2:41:18
  And trainer is out by a step.
• 2:41:20
  A pretty play by Joe Cronin.
• 2:41:25
  That was perhaps the outstanding infield play of the afternoon.
• 2:41:32
  Up to now we say the outstanding outfield play was that catch up by Guy Carley early in the game.
• 2:41:39
  Chuck Ryan is up there.
• 2:41:41
  Chuck, you know, hits him from the point side.
• 2:41:43
  He swings and misses.
• 2:41:45
  A good foul that Coughlin held.
• 2:41:48
  That was a very pretty picture to gaze upon.
• 2:41:51
  Chuck Ryan in those days a fine play.
• 2:41:54
  A foul.
• 2:41:55
  Third ball, in flow, outside.
• 2:41:58
  Ball one and strike one.
• 2:42:07
  Ball one, strike one, the pitch.
• 2:42:09
  Ball two, which is too high.
• 2:42:12
  Last half of the seventh inning, one man in seventh and five.
• 2:42:17
  the American League nine, the master league seven.
• 2:42:22
  Here it is.
• 2:42:24
  Get the ball, strike two.
• 2:42:27
  Canter, Chuck Ryan is ball two, strike two.
• 2:42:36
  Now up, hanging around on plate.
• 2:42:42
  Ball two and strike two, one out, nobody on last half of the seventh.
• 2:42:45
  No honor to 15, Coughlin catching.
• 2:42:47
  That was a lazy hopper zone.
• 2:42:49
  First, Gehrig has it.
• 2:42:52
  Harder, covers the man.
• 2:42:53
  Harder, goes at the lay from Harder and trying to save.
• 2:43:01
  That's an error for, no honor to 15.
• 2:43:06
  Gehrig is giving his time with the error.
• 2:43:09
  That was a lazy hopper zone.
• 2:43:11
  First base play.
• 2:43:13
  Gehrig ran over to get the ball and crossing it underhand to Harder.
• 2:43:16
  Harder going at top speed.
• 2:43:18
  Gehrig just did justice this one to the pit.
• 2:43:21
  Hands through to the right field side of first base.
• 2:43:24
  Harder had his fingertips on the ball but couldn't hold it.
• 2:43:26
  So of course Gehrig will be tied with an error.
• 2:43:32
  Something has happened down there to Joe Coughlin.
• 2:43:35
  Charlie Cary is Joe Coughlin, an unbiased morality.
• 2:43:39
  Oh Joe, you broke his belt down there, I believe.
• 2:43:45
  No blame for breaking a fret on that last play.
• 2:43:48
  He's probably breaking first and second as well.
• 2:43:50
  That was a slow play.
• 2:43:59
  That breakfast was good going this morning.
• 2:44:01
  I'm sure it wasn't eating too much.
• 2:44:03
  But well, anyway, Joe's ready to go and we're ready to go with the long start of the 7th inning.
• 2:44:06
  One man out, the plan is on first.
• 2:44:09
  the route is up.
• 2:44:10
  the score is 9 to 7.
• 2:44:12
  Anything can happen.
• 2:44:14
  the fans out here at the ball of Johnson, New York are well aware of it.
• 2:44:21
  Melado's up there.
• 2:44:23
  Knocked the first off and she gets right in there close to the plate and we're ready to go.
• 2:44:27
  He swings with the high-bounder down short.
• 2:44:29
  Boomer, who's down here?
• 2:44:32
  Just climbs wide in the carryover.
• 2:44:34
  No further plays.
• 2:44:35
  Good defense.
• 2:44:37
  Carrying a plan to top the ball over the carry.
• 2:44:40
  That was useless.
• 2:44:42
  That was one of those real high-bounders.
• 2:44:44
  It's down at about 20 feet in the air.
• 2:44:46
  Boomer's going in fast, hits it over to Gary and they're getting just 20 on the fourth,
• 2:44:50
  they're second, and then just towards the heart of the second base.
• 2:44:54
  And that's just Gary there a little bit.
• 2:44:56
  Just enough to make it impossible for a play.
• 2:45:05
  Oh, there goes the left-hander.
• 2:45:07
  Oh, there's no hit to left-hander.
• 2:45:10
  Two more outs.
• 2:45:12
  Go out on third base.
• 2:45:13
  All around.
• 2:45:18
  All three.
• 2:45:19
  Go for it.
• 2:45:20
  Boomer turns away from the plate and the count is two and nothing.
• 2:45:27
  That's all for the 720.
• 2:45:29
  Two outs.
• 2:45:30
  Go out on first base.
• 2:45:34
  It is a very high style.
• 2:45:38
  Lee Perry goes coming in, half-way between first and half.
• 2:45:43
  He's under it and has it, retiring the National Leaguers in the seventh inning.
• 2:45:47
  At the end of the second inning, the score, American League ninth, the National League seventh.
• 2:45:52
  This game coming from the follow ground and is being sent to you by the National Broadcasting Company.
• 2:45:57
  Come in forward.
• 2:45:59
  the National League top of the seventh started off with Pye Boomer up to bat to face no harder,
• 2:46:04
  the curveball artist, and Pye Cronin banged one out to deep short where Cronin took the ticket and shot it to Gehrig.
• 2:46:11
  And Cronin was out at first on a very, very close decision, but a beautiful play by Cronin,
• 2:46:18
  taking that ball and shooting it over to Gehrig.
• 2:46:21
  Then Klein came to bat.
• 2:46:23
  Josh Klein, the heavy hitter of the Cubs, and banged one hard down to Gehrig.
• 2:46:28
  Harder, ran over to cover first.
• 2:46:30
  Gehrig tossed it underhanded to harder.
• 2:46:34
  It just hit the tip of his fingers and bound it out, and Klein was safe on the error.
• 2:46:39
  Klein on first then with one out.
• 2:46:42
  Neloff coming up to bat, one on and one out.
• 2:46:45
  Neloff smacked one down to Cronin.
• 2:46:47
  Cronin tossed to Gehrig, forcing out Klein.
• 2:46:49
  Gehrig shot it down to Gehrig, but up at speed to throw.
• 2:46:54
  So it was one on and two off.
• 2:46:56
  the winner at bat, who hit a high fly with Gehrig, came in and took her time to side.
• 2:47:00
  And here we go into the American League, top of the eighth.
• 2:47:03
  Jaren Fong, come in.
• 2:47:05
  Jimmy Fong, right-hand hitter, is first up with Izzy Dean in the box,
• 2:47:08
  Lopez behind the bat, and Fong takes a terrific putt at the first one and misses.
• 2:47:12
  Strike one.
• 2:47:13
  No changes as we start the eighth inning.
• 2:47:18
  Ball on a fastball is too high.
• 2:47:21
  Fong carries on first, Jimmy Herman on second, Fong short, trainer third.
• 2:47:27
  Off to the right field, Paul Wehner is in center, and Suc Klein is in left, as is the left.
• 2:47:33
  There's a long strike by either left field, Suc Klein is coming in,
• 2:47:37
  and Fong going out, and nobody is able to get there, and Fong pulls up at second.
• 2:47:44
  Suc Klein was playing over in deep left underfield that time for Jimmy Fong,
• 2:47:50
  and he's looking up towards the stands to other family.
• 2:47:52
  He lost the ball and the start.
• 2:47:55
  He came over and tried to reach the ball with his outstretched left hand,
• 2:47:59
  but missed it by about a foot.
• 2:48:01
  It is justly scored as a two-base shot for Jimmy Fong.
• 2:48:07
  Al Simmons, another right-hand batter is up next.
• 2:48:13
  All reliable Al Simmons. Here it is, ball on.
• 2:48:28
  Great drive for the eighth inning, and nobody else.
• 2:48:31
  Fong's down second.
• 2:48:34
  Ball's two.
• 2:48:36
  Team fastball is trying the outside corner on Al Simmons.
• 2:48:40
  Just barely missed with those two.
• 2:48:42
  There's the stretch.
• 2:48:44
  the pitch.
• 2:48:46
  the swing is just a wide, short pass and goes the stretch.
• 2:48:49
  the pitch.
• 2:48:51
  the swing is just a wide, short left field.
• 2:48:54
  Fong going out fast. He's under it.
• 2:48:56
  Apparently makes a nice copy of it.
• 2:48:58
  Archie Fong goes rather deep into left field to make that shot.
• 2:49:03
  You know, with Fong and Simmons at bat, Bill Terry, he's the manager today at least,
• 2:49:09
  and just trying to play over in deep left center field.
• 2:49:13
  That was almost another hit for the American Leaguers,
• 2:49:16
  but Archie Fong was able to travel back-back to put the ball over his shoulder in short left field.
• 2:49:22
  One man out. Joe Fong is up there.
• 2:49:30
  As he hits the first ball, a line smashes the way.
• 2:49:33
  Center field, all wingers goes over and makes the catch.
• 2:49:36
  That whips it back into second base. It is taken there by Archie Fong, but Fong gets back safe.
• 2:49:45
  Joe Fong is still at that ball right on the scene.
• 2:49:48
  Low line drive, ball later in right center.
• 2:49:52
  Mike Coughlin is coming up.
• 2:49:59
  He's being announced over the loudspeaker as the manager of the Detroit Tigers, Mike Coughlin.
• 2:50:07
  Mike's doing a swell job over there too.
• 2:50:10
  Two men out, you know. Box is on second.
• 2:50:14
  Strike, ball.
• 2:50:20
  Izzy Dean, ball right-hander, and the St. Louis Cardinals is in the box.
• 2:50:25
  Ball.
• 2:50:29
  Outstretched comes over, retrieves the ball, and whips it back over to Lopez.
• 2:50:33
  Lopez to the umpire, we're ready to go.
• 2:50:36
  Fight two on Mickey Coughlin.
• 2:50:44
  First half of the eighth inning, American League nine, National League seven.
• 2:50:49
  Two men out, box is on second.
• 2:50:52
  There it is.
• 2:50:57
  Ball one.
• 2:50:59
  the battery started to walk toward the dugout.
• 2:51:04
  Strike two and ball one. the battery is cut at the core level for Victor Holmes.
• 2:51:07
  He wouldn't stand for it, however.
• 2:51:12
  Mickey Coughlin is holding his spot down there by the knees on the inside of the plate,
• 2:51:16
  indicating that he thought it was low inside.
• 2:51:18
  Anyway, the count is strike two and ball one.
• 2:51:22
  First half of the eighth inning, two men out.
• 2:51:27
  Izzy Dean pitching and Lopez catching.
• 2:51:32
  Strike two, ball one.
• 2:51:35
  Izzy Dean steps off the rubber. Box goes back, cuts his second base.
• 2:51:41
  Dean then picks up the rods and balls, and we're ready to go.
• 2:51:47
  We have a lot of canaries out here for the moment, everybody whistling for some reason.
• 2:51:54
  They're all mocking Al Schacht.
• 2:51:57
  Battle two inside.
• 2:52:00
  Al Schacht and all 50 percent of that great comedy team of Al Schacht and Schacht.
• 2:52:07
  All Al starts to whistle, everybody seems to follow suit.
• 2:52:11
  Strike two, ball two.
• 2:52:13
  Now, Mickey Coughlin, the pitch, it's a ground ball, a lazy grounder down second.
• 2:52:18
  Puppets in fast and slow, a beautiful play, and Coughlin is out at first,
• 2:52:22
  retiring the American Leaguers in the first half of the eighth inning.
• 2:52:26
  Come in fourth.
• 2:52:28
  Well, it's now about ten minutes past four o'clock,
• 2:52:31
  and this baseball game starts at 1.30 Eastern Daylight Saving Time.
• 2:52:35
  And for the two hours and 40 minutes, it's been transparent here in the Polo Ground
• 2:52:41
  where the American League All-Stars and the National League All-Stars
• 2:52:45
  are presented to you by the National Broadcasting Company
• 2:52:48
  from the Polo Ground here in New York where we've just finished the first half of the eighth inning.
• 2:52:52
  the American League at bat, Fox came up and banged a high fly into left field,
• 2:52:56
  and Chuck Klein, who's been playing way out deep in left center,
• 2:52:59
  ran hard, down fast, but couldn't quite get to it and went for a two-base hit for Fox.
• 2:53:05
  Simmons came up.
• 2:53:07
  Simmons came up, and Vaughn backed out into left field
• 2:53:11
  and took a fly from Simmons almost in the same place on which Fox had gotten two bases.
• 2:53:17
  Then Coughlin came up the bat with one on and one out, lined one hard at the center field.
• 2:53:22
  Paul Wanner moved over very fast and cleared it just as it threatened to go by him.
• 2:53:27
  So there were two men down and still one on.
• 2:53:30
  Coughlin came up. Coughlin banged a slow one just right down about 20 feet off second base.
• 2:53:36
  Thurman came in fast, grouped it up on the fly, banged and wheeled it over to Terry,
• 2:53:40
  retiring the American League in the eighth.
• 2:53:42
  the score is American League nine, the National League seven,
• 2:53:45
  as we go into the National League half of the eighth inning with Bill Terry just coming up the bat.
• 2:53:50
  All right, Tom Manning, come in.
• 2:53:53
  the American League is better, you know, as we come to the last half of the eighth inning.
• 2:53:57
  Mel Harder of the Cleveland Indians is in the box.
• 2:53:59
  Mickey Coughlin of the Detroit Tigers, the captain and manager, is behind the bat.
• 2:54:04
  Infield is the same, Fox is at third, Coughlin at short, Scherringer at second, and Jerry at first.
• 2:54:10
  the outfield is Chapman in right, Averill is center, Simmons in left.
• 2:54:14
  They're ready to go with Terry, left-handed, and the rest.
• 2:54:16
  Holds it back down and hits the bump, but pulls it back and it's declared a strike.
• 2:54:21
  Harder's curveball, catching the outside corner of the plate.
• 2:54:27
  That's the drillers up there, and here's the pitch. That's the ball. Another curveball down to Ross Terry's feet.
• 2:54:35
  Hand-to-counter, ball runs and strike one.
• 2:54:38
  It's the last half of the eighth inning. the National League is two runs behind, nine and seven.
• 2:54:46
  Here it is. A ground ball to the box, Tom Manning over near the track, takes it, pounce, he's out.
• 2:54:53
  Another pretty play by Bill Turner.
• 2:54:55
  That was a foul to the fast drill, harder, and Tom Manning's act over close to second base pushing,
• 2:55:00
  picked it up and went out of position, whips it over to Scherring, and Terry was out on a fast play.
• 2:55:06
  Nobody on. He's on. Nobody on.
• 2:55:15
  Aki Bowen, left-hand hitter. All the pitch-first pilots is up.
• 2:55:20
  Hits the first ball, six-pounce, short. Tom Manning comes up with it. the throw is wide, but Terry reaches over
• 2:55:27
  and strikes the ball, and he is out. Scherring is getting a nice round of applause for that act over at first base.
• 2:55:34
  That was a scorching curveball, and Joe Tom Manning has his own way, left a little bit for it,
• 2:55:40
  and picked it up and has it passed fast to get ball. Tom goes down to first base like nobody's business.
• 2:55:47
  Thought it was a slow play, two outs, nobody on. Lopez is up.
• 2:55:52
  Hits the first ball, hits the long side, close to the foul line, ends his stand, but it's fouled.
• 2:55:58
  That ball hit the stands out in right field. That was fouled by about a yard and a half.
• 2:56:07
  Strike one, Lopez has gone to first base and was on his way to second.
• 2:56:14
  That's a camp run on foul ball.
• 2:56:21
  He's up by right on his toes this afternoon. He's had some pretty hard line decisions to make, particularly
• 2:56:30
  George Moriality. George was over here at third, had a couple of close ones earlier in the game.
• 2:56:35
  Now he's over there at second, and he's had a couple of funny close ones out there at second.
• 2:56:41
  the boys, the family are all satisfied with his up. Boys in blue this afternoon are doing a sweet job out here.
• 2:56:49
  Lopez is back to the plate. He hits the next one, a high, lazy, barred, or down three.
• 2:56:54
  Pops to carry Lopez is out at the end of the eighth inning. No runs, no hits, and no errors.
• 2:57:00
  At the end of the eighth inning is the score of the American League 9, the National League 7.
• 2:57:06
  This game coming to you from the Polo Browns of New York City.
• 2:57:10
  This is for the Massable Forecasting Company. Come in forward.
• 2:57:14
  Well, the junior circuit certainly made short work of the elder league in the eighth inning here.
• 2:57:21
  the National League came up with Phil Cary at bat, and he banged out one of his usual high ones down to short,
• 2:57:26
  and Joe Cronin took it on the run, got it over to Gehrig, and he was out.
• 2:57:32
  A sweet short drop to this man, Cronin.
• 2:57:35
  Cronin came to bat, and Cronin got up, pushed her down to deep short.
• 2:57:40
  Cronin got it right down between his ankles, picked it up, threw the first,
• 2:57:44
  and Gehrig then threw a terrific round of applause by keeping his left foot on the bag,
• 2:57:49
  sending out, it looked like, almost two yards, and winging that ball, that wide throw from Cronin,
• 2:57:55
  retiring Cronin, and the crowd did show their appreciation of Lou Gehrig as they usually do.
• 2:58:00
  They wouldn't have as much get-fat Lou at first if it was in shooting distance of Lou's gloves.
• 2:58:06
  Then Lopez came to bat.
• 2:58:08
  Lopez banged one hard down between the short, top, and third.
• 2:58:12
  Third base about 18, or at least six to eight yards, but Fox went over fast, took it,
• 2:58:19
  got it across on that long peg from third to first, retiring Lopez.
• 2:58:23
  They went down in one, two, three order, Terry, Vaughn, and Lopez in the National League half of the eighth inning.
• 2:58:30
  We're moving now into the ninth, ninth inning of this All-Star game,
• 2:58:34
  with the American League coming to bat leading by two runs.
• 2:58:37
  They scored two runs in the fourth, six in the fifth, and one in the sixth,
• 2:58:43
  or a total of nine, while the National Leaguers scored one tally in the first inning,
• 2:58:49
  one in the third, and three in the fifth. They trail now by seven.
• 2:58:53
  Nine through seven is the score with the American League coming up to bat here in the ninth inning.
• 2:58:58
  Here's Tom Manning to give it to you. Come in Tom.
• 2:59:02
  One of the fine things of this ballgame is practically everybody out here has gotten into the ballgame,
• 2:59:07
  as expected to on the side of the National League particularly.
• 2:59:11
  So far, Rick Ferrell, Jimmy Dyke, Frank Higgins, and West haven't broken into the lineup
• 2:59:18
  of the American League. All of the pitchers, practically all of the catchers,
• 2:59:23
  outfielders, and infielders of the National League have had their turn now.
• 2:59:28
  Ready to go in the first half of the ninth inning, Earl Averill of the Cleveland Indians,
• 2:59:33
  the left-hand batter is first up, and Frank Houch, Frank Houch of the Boston Braves,
• 2:59:37
  the little right-hander is on the mound for the National Leaguers.
• 2:59:41
  That seems to be the only change in the lineup as we play the ninth inning.
• 2:59:46
  the National Leaguers infield of Gary Furman, Vaughn, and Treanor Lopez-Carty.
• 2:59:53
  Averill hits the back with a little pop right of left field, looks like a base hit, Vaughn going back.
• 2:59:57
  Oh, what a catch, what a catch, what a catch.
• 3:00:01
  Man, look at the line up Vaughn.
• 3:00:04
  Well, you all radio friends, absolutely the outstanding fielding play of this afternoon
• 3:00:17
  came in so far as we are concerned, and I think that we'll have plenty to agree with.
• 3:00:22
  Hockey ball and a little short stop of the Pittsburgh Pirates left his position on that grouping liner,
• 3:00:28
  of a Texas trigger by Earl Averill, and went out and took that ball way out at the edge of the provision
• 3:00:35
  in the left field corner right at the very fingertip.
• 3:00:39
  He kept right on going and ran until he ran into the barrier in the left field corner.
• 3:00:43
  That was a sweet catch by Archie Vaughn.
• 3:00:47
  Well, with ball players like this around the diamond anything can happen.
• 3:00:51
  What not, Charlie Geringer is up, and a shot at ball two.
• 3:00:55
  the shot from the Boston Braves is hitting.
• 3:00:58
  Ball three, another one low outside, three and nothing on Charlie Geringer.
• 3:01:09
  Our center is being attracted for a moment, right back,
• 3:01:13
  silver plane flying over the polo ground.
• 3:01:16
  Geringer walks.
• 3:01:19
  Geringer walks on fourth straight.
• 3:01:22
  It's a nice inning and a run out.
• 3:01:24
  Mel Harding is going up to hit.
• 3:01:26
  Harder is getting a nice round of applause from the fans here.
• 3:01:36
  Mel Harding, an old batsman, right-handed.
• 3:01:39
  A bat from right-handed.
• 3:01:46
  Sends the sacrifice to DeBunk down first base way in its bowels.
• 3:01:56
  National League has picked the ball up.
• 3:01:58
  Bill Terry picks it up and says, come on, throw this up on your toes and whips it around.
• 3:02:02
  Frank Carlton tries it again, and Harder is back in the box with a count strike one.
• 3:02:09
  Charlie Geringer has been on that base a lot this afternoon.
• 3:02:14
  Harder again attempts to put it to pop fly, low passes under it and takes it.
• 3:02:19
  That ball was only about two or three feet over his head and about eight or ten feet towards first base.
• 3:02:26
  Lopez Ziprofist's mask was under it, Charlie Geringer, however, was close to first base and got back safely.
• 3:02:33
  Now we have two men out.
• 3:02:37
  Penny Chapman is up.
• 3:02:42
  Last time up, Penny Chapman's back one out to left center field, 455 feet away.
• 3:02:49
  That is a pitch out.
• 3:02:52
  Lopez Ziprofist is calling for a pitch out, hoping to lift Geringer off first.
• 3:02:56
  Ball one.
• 3:02:58
  Nice hitting.
• 3:02:59
  Chapman is up, 90 to 70 in the American League.
• 3:03:01
  It's passed over to first, no go.
• 3:03:07
  Penny Chapman, you know, hits him right handed.
• 3:03:10
  A bowel bowels.
• 3:03:12
  Downs third base line and a count on.
• 3:03:15
  Chapman is bowels one and strike one.
• 3:03:22
  Luke Geringer's up next.
• 3:03:30
  There it is.
• 3:03:32
  Ball two, a fast ball is high outside and the count is ball two and strike one.
• 3:03:47
  Here it is.
• 3:03:49
  Long fly out to left field.
• 3:03:53
  Fine coming in.
• 3:03:54
  He stumbled but paid the tax for the third out.
• 3:03:58
  the first time was playing very, very deep out there again.
• 3:04:02
  Had to come in for that ball and over to his right.
• 3:04:05
  Over toward the far line but made a nice running catch, retiring the American Leaguers in the ninth inning.
• 3:04:10
  So the National League has come to bat two runs behind in the ninth inning.
• 3:04:15
  Come in for it.
• 3:04:17
  We go into the last half of the ninth with the National League trailing by two runs.
• 3:04:22
  the American League half of the ninth started off with Frank House coming into the bat to pitch for the Nationals.
• 3:04:27
  Avril was the first man to face him.
• 3:04:30
  Avril smacked a fly out right on the left field foul line just a couple of feet in.
• 3:04:36
  And Bond dropped the crowd to their feet for a great play, a great, beautiful catch, running out there,
• 3:04:43
  going back to position short and making an absolutely terrific sparkling catch.
• 3:04:47
  There's almost no adjective that you can apply to that that would be too great or too superlative to describe Bond's great catch of Avril's fly out on the left field foul line.
• 3:04:56
  Geringer came up and then got four straight and walked.
• 3:05:00
  So there's one on base and one out with Mel Harder came up.
• 3:05:04
  Mel Harder came up and tried to bunt, banged it down the first base line and rolled foul.
• 3:05:09
  So he came back to the base, picked up his bat, and again tried to pop it up just a few feet away from home plate.
• 3:05:17
  Lopez just off his mat, went out there under it and took it for a nice catch, making two men gone in the American League half of the ninth.
• 3:05:24
  Kaplan, Ben Kaplan came up, always a very dangerous man batting order.
• 3:05:29
  Heath Maccaflough on the left field, Klein, Chuck Klein came in very fast, stumbled, given bringing the arc to the fans and now flung before he took it.
• 3:05:37
  But did take it, retiring the Americans to the ninth and here we go into the national league half of the ninth, failing by two runs.
• 3:05:42
  the Americans, nine, the national service. Come in, Bob Manning.
• 3:05:46
  Reikhauser, back to the right hand of his up batting, placed on a beautiful box, Kaplan is out there and, boom! He's out! He's out!
• 3:05:54
  By not pulling the foot, looked at the fans, some of them are howling as if it's close.
• 3:05:57
  Forgiving Kaplan a nice hand on that play. Reikhauser dropped that one, dropped that one, perfect.
• 3:06:03
  It's all about ten feet out for the pitch. Kaplan ripped that pass off, was out and picked that ball up and flipped it over to Gary.
• 3:06:10
  And Frank House for a pitcher with 20 pasts and getting down there. Sorry that was close, that was a slow play to watch. One out.
• 3:06:22
  Willie Herman is up.
• 3:06:27
  Willie Inoil hits them right handed, harder as pitching, Kaplan catching.
• 3:06:31
  Foul back, great one.
• 3:06:34
  Willie Herman, with playing second base is up.
• 3:06:43
  Nice hitting, one man off, no harder as pitching. Mickey Cochran behind the bat.
• 3:06:47
  Infield, Gary first, Gary second, Coleman short and box third. Here's the pitch.
• 3:06:55
  the ground ball just inside the third base, Frank House on the left field corner, it's a base knock.
• 3:07:00
  the ball turns off the wall, Simmons has it flipped it into Gary, he flies, he's face a double.
• 3:07:10
  Little Willie Herman, like that one, right on the closed label.
• 3:07:16
  Well, it's still a ball game, one man out of the ninth inning.
• 3:07:21
  Two runs behind.
• 3:07:23
  Willie Herman is on second base.
• 3:07:26
  That was a peak of a hit, the ball struck just about one foot inside the bag with Jimmy Foxx leaving for it.
• 3:07:33
  But of course he had both hands, that's the weather to get it.
• 3:07:38
  High trainer, manager in third base from the Pittsburgh Pirates Cup.
• 3:07:44
  Ball one, a fast ball is high inside.
• 3:07:48
  the American League battery since the fifth inning is Mel Harder, Mickey Cochran.
• 3:07:57
  As the long drive up in the stands, but it's foul.
• 3:08:01
  Ball run and strike one.
• 3:08:07
  It was a smash up in the right field stand.
• 3:08:11
  This high trainer, you know, is quite a ball player.
• 3:08:18
  Yes indeed, he's a right hand hitter and the count for one strike one.
• 3:08:22
  the pitch, ball two, Harder's football, flips the outside corner and the count on high trainer, ball two and strike one.
• 3:08:35
  Willie Herman, you know, is on second base.
• 3:08:38
  One man out of the ninth inning, two runs behind.
• 3:08:43
  Harder, but here it is.
• 3:08:45
  It's a strike call.
• 3:08:47
  That ball got away from Cochran, rolled about four feet away and now the count on high trainer is ball two and strike two.
• 3:08:56
  Two and two on high trainer, he hits him right handed, you know.
• 3:09:11
  Here it is.
• 3:09:13
  He swings and it's a drive to the outfield.
• 3:09:17
  West is playing center field for the American Lakers and West made that catch.
• 3:09:24
  I hope you'll find me for that delay.
• 3:09:26
  We knew it wasn't Avril coming in and that change in center field in this right inning was not announced.
• 3:09:32
  West of the St. Louis Browns is playing center field for the American Lakers.
• 3:09:36
  West made that catch.
• 3:09:38
  Making it two out of the ninth inning.
• 3:09:47
  Harder on second base.
• 3:09:49
  And Chuck Ryan of the Chicago Cubs, the left hand batter is coming up, strike one, swinging.
• 3:09:55
  Ninth inning and all, two men out.
• 3:09:58
  Billy Herman is on second base to score American League ninth, National League seventh.
• 3:10:08
  This boy Harder sticks a lot of baseball since replacing Ruffing in the fifth inning.
• 3:10:13
  Strike one on the hitter, strike two, he swings and misses.
• 3:10:18
  That ball is down to the outfield.
• 3:10:21
  One on the hitter, he swings and misses.
• 3:10:28
  That ball is down to the outfield.
• 3:10:29
  Chuck Ryan taking it long, follow through swings, and now the count is strike two.
• 3:10:39
  That ball is down to the outfield.
• 3:10:40
  Chuck Ryan taking it long, follow through swings, and now the count is strike two.
• 3:10:47
  Ninth inning, nine to seven in favor of the American League, two men out.
• 3:10:51
  Billy Herman on second.
• 3:10:52
  Chuck Ryan, a mighty hitter, is up.
• 3:10:55
  Back to right field, but it's foul into the stands.
• 3:11:02
  That ball is what we call a hook and golf.
• 3:11:07
  It's out there towards Kerrigan and then it's curved right over into the stands.
• 3:11:17
  Strike two.
• 3:11:18
  Last half of the ninth inning and all, the National League is two runs behind them.
• 3:11:21
  They have one run on the bags.
• 3:11:23
  Billy Herman at second base, and Chuck Ryan on his long distance hitter at the plate.
• 3:11:27
  Mel Harder is pitching, Coughlin is catching, it's set, and here it is.
• 3:11:31
  It's a ball.
• 3:11:32
  That ball is high outside and the count is strike two and ball one.
• 3:11:37
  Not a single fan has left this ball park unless it was a doctor or something this afternoon,
• 3:11:43
  so if anything can happen at any time, any kind of a smash ball, tie it up, you know.
• 3:11:49
  Strike two, ball on the pitch, as it drives out for Safeway.
• 3:11:53
  Kerrigan fumbles the ball, it's not too hard.
• 3:11:56
  He is out of the close play and the ball game is over in favor of the American League.
• 3:12:00
  the score of nine to seven.
• 3:12:02
  This is Kyle Manning saying good afternoon from the Polar Bounds in New York,
• 3:12:05
  and here is Graham McElnay.
• 3:12:06
  Come in, Graham.
• 3:12:07
  Thank you, Don.
• 3:12:08
  There are so many features in this ball game that we won't try to go into them at all.
• 3:12:12
  It's been almost three hours, three hour ball game up to about one minute.
• 3:12:17
  the outstanding features in my mind now just as I look back over the game were the pitching
• 3:12:22
  for the first three innings of that mighty pitcher, Kyle Hubbell.
• 3:12:26
  He was gorgeous out there in the box and the fielding stunt of Archie Bond of Pittsburgh.
• 3:12:33
  Those stand out in my mind.
• 3:12:36
  Besides some of the hitting, of course.
• 3:12:38
  I'll tell you who gets the hitting and then the hitting and then we'll quit.
• 3:12:41
  For the American League men, Kerrigan got two singles.
• 3:12:46
  Dickey got a single.
• 3:12:48
  Simmons got two doubles and a single.
• 3:12:51
  Cronin, a single and a double.
• 3:12:53
  Averill, a triple and a double.
• 3:12:55
  Fox, a single and a double.
• 3:12:57
  And Ruffing, a single.
• 3:12:59
  Chapman, a triple.
• 3:13:01
  Of course, there was only a couple of them in the game all the time.
• 3:13:04
  There might have been some of them who might have done more.
• 3:13:06
  For the National League, Frisch.
• 3:13:08
  Thank you, Frisch.
• 3:13:09
  Got a homer on the first ball pitch off Lexy Gomez.
• 3:13:11
  Gomez didn't go so well today as he has been going through his American League team.
• 3:13:16
  Frisch got a homer and a single.
• 3:13:19
  Kastraner of Pittsburgh got two singles.
• 3:13:22
  Medwitch got a beautiful long homer and up into the second field of the stands in left field.
• 3:13:28
  There was not a single.
• 3:13:29
  Cline, a single.
• 3:13:30
  And Billy Herman, who came into the game late, got a double.
• 3:13:34
  Those are the outstanding features of the day and this afternoon.
• 3:13:38
  the only other great outstanding feature was the tremendous length of the game.
• 3:13:42
  It took three hours of paper and there was all kinds here this afternoon.
• 3:13:47
  But it was a great game.
• 3:13:49
  the Americans have won again as they did last year.
• 3:13:52
  Last year it was 4-2.
• 3:13:54
  Today it was 9-7 in favor of the American League over the Nationals in the All-Star Game played at the Polar Ground in New York City.
• 3:14:02
  It's time to go now.
• 3:14:04
  the garbage grew out on the field.
• 3:14:05
  the elves got getting to the exit and so will we.
• 3:14:09
  This is Graham Hackney speaking.
• 3:14:10
  And we'll leave you now and just by telling you that the record of this game has been given to you by Tom Manning on play-by-play and Thorpe Bond between innings.
• 3:14:21
  And I'd like to thank you for being here too and through the facilities of the National Broadcasting Company.
• 3:14:27
  Goodbye.
• 3:14:28
  We'd like to thank the makers of Ambrosia for relinquishing their broadcast period this afternoon in order to do my dear minutes in clarity.
• 3:14:40
  Thank you.
