Use Gillette Blueblade with the sharpest edges ever hold. Gillette's cavalcated sports is on the air. From sportsmen's park in St. Louis, Gillette presents the 15-sanual start baseball game between top-ranking players of the American and national league.

Hello everybody. This is Franz Locke with Mel Allen and Jim Britz. Reading you for the Gillette safety razor company. Make sure Gillette razors, blades and shaving cream. Gillette is your radio host when outstanding sports events such as today's classic, the World Series and Kentucky Derby, occur throughout the year. This is the second time that the All Star game has been played here with sportsmen's park. You'll remember that back in 1940, the Cardinals were the host club. This year, the St. Louis Browns of the American League are the host club. And our hats are off to Mr. Markhamon and Duwitt because they have everything in tip-top shape for this afternoon's ballgame. They've even managed to get him a good word with the weatherman because this morning it was raining here in St. Louis and the weatherman forecast cloudy weather with showers. But we're happy to say that right at the moment the sun is shining very brightly. However there is a few cloud dimmestigh but we have high hopes that we'll have an ideal afternoon for this ballgame.

There's two clubs have been out on the field for some time. The American League club was out first and gone through their batting practice and at the moment the national leagueers are taking there. And the club, we might say, has sent quite a few souvenir baseballs into the stands and it looks like it is going to be a capacity crowd here this afternoon. The tickets for this All Star Game have been sold out for weeks. The only thing that you've been able to buy for the last three or four days have been standing room tickets only. So if everything turns out okay it's going to be a packed house and even a larger crowd then it's ended the All Star Game here back in 1940. You'll remember in that particular game that that's one of the few times that the national league has won in the All Star contest and that was the first shutout that happened in All Star Play. In the very second inning, Max Webb hit a home run with two men on and then they went ahead to score another run along in the eighth inning and it was four to nothing in favor

of the national league. In all this game originally was started through the efforts of Mr. George Ward. They ported that through the Chicago Tribune up in Chicago, the same man who originated the ideas of the All Star football games and it's been carried on ever since with the exception of 1945 when the game was out due to the fact of wartime travel. And since they're originally started, the American League has won 10 of these victories with a national league only winning four times. It's been two of the All Star games that have been played at night. One was a Twilight contest. All of the others have been afternoon games. And if you reminisce and look around, you'll see that only three players are actually active as players today from the groups that originally participated in the All Star Game, away back in 1933 at the committee park in Chicago.

And that happens to be Joe Medley, Archie Vaughan and Sue Boy Rowles. Forts are quite a few others around that are coaches at the present time, but we mean fellows that are actually still playing baseball. We'll sort of skimp over some of the scores of the game since the All Star League started to sort bring you up to date. You'll remember that back in 1933, the American League team won by a score of four to two. Then the following year, the game was moved to the Polo Grounds in New York, in which the American League is again won by a score of nine to seven. And that's the particular series that left the girls, or rather left the Hubble, Carl Hubble, gave his great exhibition of pitching when he struck out five of the greatest hitters in the game in a row. In fact, I believe he had six strikeouts in the two inning. And when he walked off in the mound at the Polo Grounds, the stands really rocked in the old basins that he received. Then there was the game of 1935 at the municipal stadium in Cleveland in the American League

again won by a score of four to one. In 1936, at Ray's Field in Boston, that was the first win for the National League. The score in that particular game was four to three in favor of the National League. The next year, in 1937, the game was played at Griffith Stadium in Washington, and the American League is won by a score of eight to three. And you'll remember in that particular game, that is the game where Dizzy Dean, while pitching for the National League, was hit on the toe by a line drive off the bat of Earl Avril. And we might say that that was really the start of the downfall of Dizzy Dean's pitching career because he came back and tried to pitch before the toe was in shape and naturally he threw the ball while off balance, and it eventually hurt his arm and he never did get over. The game of 1938 was played in Crossley Field, Cincinnati, and that was the second win

for the National League. They came out on top of that particular contest by a score of four to one. In 1939, the Yankee Stadium in New York, and the American League is won out by a score of three to one. The game of 1940, as we mentioned earlier, was played right here with Sportsman Farts, and the National League won their third contest by a score of four to nothing. In 1941, the game was played as Frick Stadium and Detroit, and that was another contest that had a dramatic finish. One Ted Williams hit one right at the tail end of the game to break up the contest. And then in 1942, at the Folow Browns, the American League won three to one. A night game at Philadelphia in 1943, the American League is won five to three. A night game in 1944, Fortressiel Pittsburgh, and National League won their last contest seven to one. No game in 1945, in 1946, at Fenway Park Boston, the American League won by a score of 12 to nothing.

And then in 1947, it's wriggly sealed the American League won by a score of two to one. There's 28 American Junior Legion baseball players, who are graduates of Junior Legion baseball participating in this all-star classic here today. I believe there's about 17 on the American League, and 10 on the National League, if we remember correctly, on the dole. The ground keepers are out now, manicuring the infield, getting the diamond in shape for the fast-moons game, and the two expected pitchers are starting to warm up. We'll run over the lineup, hurriedly, for you. And then Jim Brett, who will do the play-by-play on the first form one half-ending to fast-moons, will check them with you a little later on. For the National League, Richie Ashburn of Philadelphia in center field. Red Chained D, to the St. Louis Cardinal, second base. Dan Museo, the Ele of the Cardinals, and Les Feele. Johnny Mayes of the New York Giants at first base. Eamus Slaughter of the Cardinals in right field. Andy Pasco, the Chicago Cups, third base.

Walter Cooper of the New York Giants, Kent. He re-reached to the Brooklyn Dodgers at Charts, and Ralph Branca of the Brooklyn Dodgers will be the starting fetchers. And the American League's Pat Mullin of the Detroit Tigers, right field. Honey Hendrick of the New York Yankees left field. Lou Pedro of the Cleveland Indians at Charts, Joe Gordon of the Indians at second base. Walter Guteevers of the Detroit Tigers center field. Ten Shelton of the Indians, third base. George McQuinn of the New York Yankees at first base. Buddy Rose Zarr of the Philadelphia Athletics will be the catcher. And Walter Masterson of the Washington Senators will be the catcher. Masterson is one-six ball games and lost six. Ralph Branca has one-10 and lost six. The umpires, Chaudy Barry of the American League will be working behind the plate. They'll store it as an hastily get first base. Half a roll of the American League at second base and beans redden of the nice and

league at third. Now these men will alternate. That is Barry and Redden will alternate from after four and one half-biting. Barry will go down to third and Redden will come into the place the way we've been informed. And the second, same thing applies to the two umpires working at first and second half of Rella and sure. We understand that first shopmen who managed the Brooklyn Dodgers last year is going to toss out the first ball this afternoon instead of to Mr. Chaudy. The commissioner has asked first shopmen to toss out the first ball due to the fact that he managed the team and is not participating in the all-star game this year. You know the manager on the previous winner is always the man in charge. During the all-star game this has been on all occasions with exception to the first game which started in 1935 at Comissi Park when John Madrall managed the national league and Connie Mack was in charge of the American League. Well the pitchers are warming up at the present time.

The ground keepers are still getting the unfeeling shapes and after these showers that we have this morning the diamond really looks like it's in tip-top condition for real ball game. So been informed by Commissioner Chandler that if this game happens to be tied at the end of nine innings and gets him to a long zone out struggle that if it gets dark the lights will be turned on and they'll continue right on. And now the umpires are coming out on the field. There'll be a little powwow discussion at home plate pertaining to the ground rule and then they'll be ready to go. Here at Sportsman Park right down the right field line. It is exactly three hundred and ten feet from home place to the right field line. There's a screen in front of the right field pavilion that extends out into right center and after that distance the pavilion is open. They happen to hit a line drive into there at the home run but any ball up against the screen in right field you make what you can get.

But in order to get a home run in right field it has to go on top of the right field pavilion. Center field to the right of the flag pole the distance is 422 feet and just to the left of the flag pole it's 425 and a little further over to the left 426 that's the deepest point in the field. Now straight down the left field line the distance is 351 feet from home plate to the right field. Hey it's Kelly Rowland you may not know this but I have eczema so I get how it can still your time. But why let eczema take over when you can talk to your doctor about eczema.

the most up to date in the major league. It's conducted by a boy named Blue Adam who was very quick on the trigger and handling balls and strikes and makes it very easy for the man giving a play by a play description to stay up with balls and strikes on the batter. The ground keepers are still working out there that's been taking a little extra time but they've quite a few there. There's temporary box seats on the field today for the game which takes care of three rolls extending from the players dugout down beyond the axis and practically down to the bullpen in both right and left field. We understand from Bucky Harris that Richie and Coleman will be the other two pitchers to follow up in the American league and all just before we get ready we said Richie we mean Raffie. Richie is the youngster of their counterfeeler called a fillet.

Richie Aspern is his name and now doing the first four and a half minutes to the play by play this afternoon a man who hardly needs any introduction you baseball fans up around Boston he does the home games of both of Austin Braves and Boston Red Sock. I believe this is his fourth all star games you've also heard him on World Series play. None other than Jim Brett. Come in Jim. Thank you friends good afternoon everyone. In just a moment I suspect we shall have a national anthem and then the baseball festivities will get really underway. But before that I would like even before he comes in for the last four and a half innings of the play by play description of this Gillette sponsored 1948 all star major league baseball game to present again my colleague Mel Allen who's broadcasted the New York Yankee game during the regular season are so popular throughout the metropolis. Mel tell all the everybody Jim the three of us will be working with you again and incidentally we're getting ready to get underway and I don't want to take up any more time to necessary

to be back a little bit later on to the last half of the game but it is interesting to let you fans know that Commissioner Chandler made the statement he said even though it isn't very likely he said in the event the ball game is time up and it becomes dark he said we're going to turn on the lights and keep playing until the ball game has reached the conclusion so if he folks got any plans ahead for the evening I suggest you kind of hold him in advance because you never can tell we'll have him played on midnight. Okay Jim welcome misplanes or mistrains. This ball game is going to go to a conclusion but now before a get underway we pause for station identification. Remember men look sharp. Feel sharp. These sharp. Use Gillette Blueblade with the sharpest edges ever home. This is the mutual broadcasting system.

Back at Sportsman Park in St. Louis the umpires who are Charlie Berry and Joe Taparolla of the American League Bill Stewart and Dean's Rident of the National League are now taking their positions and in just a moment the game will officially get underway. Eddie Dyer has gone down to third base which would indicate that he may be the third base coach or Leo D'Aurocheur the manager of the National League of Arts. It is highly improbable that two of the greatest of the American leagueers Joe Demaggio and Ted Williams will see service. Sergio is suffering both from Lane Heels and Sorenies. Williams, Soreloose, Carthledge from one of his ribs in swinging savagely at a mist strike at Fenway Park not long ago. He is not likely to see service at all. There go the American leagueers out on the field and they are led by Pat Mullin who will immediately go to right field. So defensively it will be Mullin in right field, Henryk in left field, Woodrow,

Shorttop, Gordon, Second Base, Ladies and Gentlemen the National Anthem.

Before Richie Ashburn the sensational young Philadelphia Phil Center Fielder steps into the batter's box to await the first pitch of the spectacle's Walder Masters in the Washington Nationals. Let me repeat for you the starting batting order for the National League, Ashburn of Philadelphia's better field, Chainsyn of the Cardinals, Second Base, Newsy of the Cardinals left field, My is of the Giant first base, Flotter of St. Louis in right field, Half-Cole of the Cubs, Third Base, There goes First Shot and First Pitch and it is taken by Buddy Roser and Buddy then flips it back to Bert Shotten who piloted the Brooklyn Dodgers to their

1948, 1947 National League Championship and Commissioner A.B. Chandler autographs the ball and insists that Bert keep it. This program comes to you by authority of the Commissioner of Baseball. It is intended only for the private use of our audience. Any publication or reproduction of this program and any commercial use of the program is prohibited. In the National League after In a slaughter who will play right field and bat in the number five position, if you are scoring the game, mark down the name of Third Base, Mn.D. Pathgole of the Chicago Cubs. In the number seven position, Catcher Walker Cooper of New York. At short, stop P.W. of Brooklyn and the starting pitcher Ralph Branka of Brooklyn, number 13. He flaunts superstition with it and has a record of ten victories, six defeats for the bombs of Ebbetsfield. The bombs of course is a term of affection and indurement bestowed upon the Brooklyn Dodgers

by one of the most rabid sets of baseball enthusiasts in the nation. Defensively, Pat Mullin will be in right field for the American Lakers. The two divers of Detroit, his teammate will be in center field, Tommy Henrik of the Yankees and left field, and the infield will be McQuinn of New York, Gordon of Cleveland, manager Lou Boudreau of Cleveland, Keltner of Third and the battery Masterson and Rosar, Ashburn of Blonde, left hand to resuppt, and the first pitch at the ground ball that goes into the glove of Gordon. Gordon throws the first, can't get him. The Magnificent play by Gordon who went back a first base made a cross-headed stab, left high off the ground, and he fired it. He went back a second base, fired to first base, but the throw was so high that McQuinn was taken off the bag and the official store rules, base hit. Red Shane Dees, formerly of Germantown, Illinois, now a St. Louis and his up, he's a switch batter, batting left. Bob Hall, right back, strike one.

Masterson tried to powder over a fastball. This is Ashburn's first all-star game. He entered it with a batting average of 351. He is the second highest batter in the national league and of course that is his first all-star hit. One of many to come on certain. Shane Dees stands straight away. Ashburn leads off. Very digs for second base. Here's the throw from Rosar to Boudreau and it goes over second base, backed up by Gordon and it's a steal for Ashburn. The count is ball one, strike one and it is a stolen base for Richie Ashburn. In the national league he just gives a posing picture of fifths. So now their baseman Ken Caldner is laying in just a bit in the head of a bunch. Masterson pitches and it's low and away from a left-handed batter. For ball two, two and one, that was a fastball. Sederfielder Hoodie versus playing straight away. Sederfielder Tommy Hendrick is straight away. What the right-fielder Pat Mullin is playing fairly close to the line.

Now perhaps that a signal from the bench, he moves over to the left. Masterson throws and there's a swing in the middle. A sharp breaking fastball. It's broke right John in the dirt. Two balls and two strikes. Mel Ock, the manager of the New York Johns is the first base coach. He came up under the great John McGraw. Eddie Dyer, the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals is coaching a third. Charlie Berry, the play-dump-fire. Ashburn is on second base, taking a good lead. The pitch to Shane Dean. There's a ground ball that goes down the third baseline, an unassisted put-out. The first baseline, an unassisted put-out is made by George McQuinn. And Ashburn moves up. Ashburn is on third with just one out. And one of the great St. Louis Cardinals stars of St. Louis baseball history. The Stanley Newsyl comes up with a current season's average of 403. His all-star average is down to 182. This is his fifth all-star game.

And the outfield moves around to the right. The infield pulls in to try to cut off the run. Masterson pitches strike call the fastball. That just fits the inside corner of the play. The temperature is somewhere in the upper 80s. The humidity is high, but it's the kind of a baseball day the players profess to prefer. Here it comes. Bob All. That one carrying off a left shin guard, a buddy-rozer, into the first-based dance. And the kind of strike, too. Big, Johnny Mine. Hey, it's Kelly Rowland. You may not know this, but I have Exama. So I get how it can steal your time. But why let Exama take over when you can talk to your doctor about Ebglyss? Ebglyss, lubricismab, LBKZ.

Who is the veteran of the National League All-Star playing in his eighth game today is near the Andrec Circle. Ashburn takes a conservative lead off their base. The deepest of the infielders is second baseman Joe Gordon, who is playing about 20 feet

to the right of second base. Master's in pitches. There goes the long drive to right side of field and that looks like a home run. It is. Two nothing. Stanley Museo just walked an enormous home run at top of the right centerfield stand. And all the centerfielders who divers to do was watching. As Ashburn scored ahead of him from third and the National League is lead to nothing. Here's Big Johnny Mines with a season's average of 283. Inside ball 1. The National League is drawn first blood. Victor in only four of the previous 14 off-dark games. Leo D'Aurotius crew has struck swiftly in the first inning. The pitch.

Strike. Call. Slow curve ball. That's coasted over Bill High. The ball with the top of the right centerfield stands just to the left of the 354 foot mark. Museo's drive. There's a fast ball low. Two and one. Bucky Harris. Plans to follow Water Masterson with Vickrashi of the Yankees and Joe Coleman of the A's. There's no warm-up, that's your. The outfield is deep to the right, so is the infield. There's the ground ball and that one goes right by Gordon in a centerfield for another base hit. It was between Gordon and second base. And Mines has the third National League hit. That will enhance his padding average of the off-dark games, which had been only 176. The enthusiastic welcome was for one of the great players of National League history,

Ena Flutter of the St. Louis Cardinals. He's playing right field in this batting water and has a batting average for the season of 314, an off-dark game average of 250, and this is his fifth appearance in all star spangles. The outfield, a little to the right, is straight away. The left side of the infield in. And there is a curve ball right over the outside corner to the left-handed batter for strike one. The country slaughter as he's better known. And his throw will forever be remembered to cut off a red socks run in the World Series of 1946, as well as his mad dash from first to score on Walker's single. Ball, one in one. Flutter was one of the heroes of that 1946 World Series, as was Harry the Cat, Rokine, who won three ball games. Masterson stretches, Mines leads off. If one in the dirt, it gets by Roser, Mines goes to second base, and we're awaiting the decision of the official score, Wild Pitch or Passball.

A pass ball is the ruling. The Roser is charged with a battery error. And for the third time, the National Eagers have a runner on second base. Now the left side of the infield goes back, just a little to the right side with Joe Gordon the second baseman deep, waits for the pitch, Flutter digs in, and it's low and outside to make it three and one. And there hustling out to the bullpen is Jogi Berra. He may be sent out to warm up Joe Dawson of the Boston Red Sox. Berra just carried the message. John Shully is doing the warming up. The official score just changed that pass ball to a Wild Pitch. So it is a battery error charged to Masterson, not to Roser. Three and one, swing on this. That was a slow curve ball that broke down in the dirt in the count of three and two.

Flutter's action indicated that he was a little sorry he'd gone after that. The score National League Off-Dars two American League is nothing, in the very first inning with only one man out. The pitch ball four, that was a little too high. It seemed to catch the corner, but it was up around the neck. A base on ball for Flutter. Masterson has runners on first and second with one out and Andy Pascole. The Chicago Cobb third baseman up with an impressive 342 batting average. This is his second all-star game. In the first one, he had one hit in two trips. It's a right-hander. Ball one. Half goal is the Chicago one, but originally he came from Boyceville, Wisconsin. Waller Masterson has slipped his glove and he's mopping his brow. It's a warm day. Now he takes off his eyeglasses. Those who do wear eyeglasses on days such as this are sometimes bothered by fog and it's

necessary to keep them clean. Joe Dobson of the Red Sox is warming up. Pascole uses a closed stance. What Masterson decides not to pitch, as Bill Stewart, the first baseman fire, makes a motion to a couple of vendors who are out in the bullpen area for the national lagers and he wants them to get off the field. The Han museo's first all-star game, Home Run. Gays the national lagers at two nothing lead in the first inning. Now there are two on with one out. The pitch to Pascole, there's a ground ball. That goes to Caltoner. He steps on third, flips to first, and the throw is not in time as it hits the dirt, bounds into McQueen's glove. Though it is a fourth play on Johnny Maye's third baseman, Caltoner unassisted with Florida moving to second base on the field of choice and Pascole reaching first. A good throw by Caltoner would have retired aside, but the ball bounded in the dirt about

10 or 15 feet in front of McQueen. Walker Cooper of the New York Giants, the catcher on the number seven batter for the national lagers and the first inning comes up. He has a season to average of 257, but an impressive 385 all-star mark. This is his sixth ball star game. He's a big husky right-hander. Outside ball one. It will be interested to know that his brother Morton pitched the next edition game for the New York Giants last night against Buffalo, allowed two hits and only one run in four innings, and the Giants won the ball game 8-3. Masters and pitches, there's a ground ball that goes to Caltoner. Caltoner elects to make the play to second base to Gordon, and Pasco is forced to go in five to four. So it's another field of choice to wind up the first inning with two national league runs on three hits, no errors, a base on balls, two on their left, national league two, American league, nothing. Baseball has yet to produce a more forceful figure than the late John McGraw, who was

supremely skilled for over two generations. When leadership endures years on end, you may be sure it's based on exceptional merit. Take the Gillette Blueblade, for example. It continues to be number one in popularity because it's number one in shaving performance. No other razor blade is a sharp, smoothly finished or long lasting.

Use Gillette Blueblades with the sharpest educe ever homes. The score is national league all stars two, American league all stars nothing.

Following into the last half of the first inning, Pat Mullins, the Detroit Tigers, who was playing left field in this batting order, will face Ralph Branca, a 10 game winner for Brooklyn. Thanks to Ashburn's single stolen base and infield out of New Zealand's first all star game, Homerun, the national league's lead, two nothing. Branca gets set, Mullins batting average for the year is 297. Outside, ball one. This is his first all star game, by the way. The coaches are Charlie Dresson and Red Carden of New York. Dresson at third base, Corden at first base. Branca pitches, swing in a mess. Branca fired a fastball with bell high. At third base for the national league, Andy Palfgo, shortstopped he-we-rease, second base, Red Shane Deans. He injured himself, slid a few times before today's game indicated his readiness to play. And the first baseman is Big John Mies, the outfield, museo Ashburn and slaughter, the

pitch. High outside, a fastball. Two and one. Every seed is sold out here at Sportsman's Park. And the weatherman has been good enough to co-operate to the extent of giving extremely hot weather but rainless. Here it comes. Foul ball, almost in the boost to our left. And then it rattled right down into the first base dance. The count two balls, two strikes. This is old home week, so to speak, for baseball. You come to an all-star game as is the case with the World Series and you see baseball characters whom you admired when you were a kid. Who have drifted away from the game many of them, many of them are still with it. The pitch. There's a foul ball. And it bounced back down again. Two balls and two strikes. Joe Krone, who long since hung up his number four with a Boston Red Talks had a chance to catch another one that.

Two and two of the count. Third baseman Tathco is playing close. Strike three is flinging. A fast curve ball was thrown by Ralph Branca and he strikes out Pat Mullin to open the ball game. The second batter is one of baseball's most underrated performers in the opinion of the... Hey, it's Kelly Rowland. You may not know this, but I have Exama. So I get how it can steal your time.

This is his third All-Star game. His All-Star batting average is 200, his season's smart, 250. He's a left-hander, uses a slightly closed stance. And he looks at a ball that comes in low. One ball, no strikes. Branca, a big husky right-hander, who has had a lot to do with the sudden surge of the Diorosier Dodgers recently.

Swing on a miss, an easy swing at a fast ball. It was difficult to determine whether Henrick tried to stop his swing or was intent upon swinging easily in order to lost the ball over the heads of the infielders. The outfield plays into the right. One in one the counts. An echelon lead leads to nothing. Last of the first, none on, one out. High and wide, two in one. Three hundred and ten feet down the right-field foul line to the stands. Three fifty-one down the left-field line. And four hundred and twenty-three to the flag goal in dead centerfield. Branca pitches. High, brain one. Waiting his turn in the on deck circle is the great manager of the Cleveland Indians. Three balls, one strike to count. Fred Corden, who is coaching down at first base, is anxious to have a base runner, so he'll have someone to chat with.

The wind up. Strike call. Branca threw a moderate fast ball at the outside corner. Henrick's rear foot is almost outside the batter's box. His heel touches his toes out. The payoff pitch coming up. Branca studies the sign of his catcher. Here it is. Strike three. He's called out on strike. But Henrick was under the impression that he had not completed the swing and Lou Boudreau is arguing with Charlie Berry. Henrick was about a third of the way down the first baseline when he was called out. There's the second straight strikeout for Branca. Mullin and Henrick. Here's Lou Boudreau with a batting average of three fifty-five. He has an all-star batting average of four hundred by the way and has appeared in five games. He hit a two run homer in the all-star game at the full of grounds in 1942 to help send more Cooper down to defeat. And he hit it his first time off.

He bats from that peculiar crotch of his, a right-hander. He lets the curve ball go by on the inside. He wasn't even stuck swinging that threat. One ball no strikes. He is the only manager in either batting order. The pitch strike call. That fast curve ball of Branca came over knee high. One in one. There will be an umpiring switch at the end of four and a half innings. So that's the umpiring is broken up and each leg has a man back of the plate. There's a ground ball across to the left of the mound. Reese comes in fast, picks it up, throws over to first. My is guessed it. And it's a one, two, three inning for Ralph Branca. The play went six to three, Reese to my eyes, no runs, no hits, no errors. None left. And Leo D'Aroger's own right-handed star, Ralph Branca, with a record of ten and six, is off to a most impressive start. In the first half of the second inning of this game, Pee Wee Reese, Ralph Branca, and

Richie Ashburn will be the first three batters. At the moment, however, there is time in the event you just joined this Gillette Broadcast to bring you up to date on the batting words. For the National League, center field, Ashburn, Philadelphia. Second base, Shane Deans, St. Louis, left field, museel, St. Louis. First base, my is New York, right field, slaughter. St. Louis. Third base, half goal, Cubs. Catcher, Walker Cooper, New York. Shortstop, Reese, Brooklyn, pitching, Branca of Brooklyn. Charlie Dresson, by the way, went out to the bullpen to deliver some information to Joe Dobson. And Dobson has started to warm up again.

First up, facing Walter Masterson is Pee Wee Reese. He follows one back against the stream. The Kentucky Colonel, as he is better known, Pee Wee, another nickname, a little right hander, former National Marble Champion. One at that first one is though he expected to have luck similar to that of Richie Ashburn and Stanley, museel. He has a season's mark of 300, no hits in two all-star trips. Outside, one in one, this is Pee Wee third all-star game. And he sat through one of them in 1946 at Boston with his neck in a harness after it was suspected that he had fractured a vertebrae. Masterson throws, swing on a mess. He took a good cut, went down it with right knee. Eddie Dyer and Mel Aude of the coaches at third and first. Is the Shurksleeve crowd here at Sportsman Park in the 15th all-star game. The game skipped 1945 because of wartime travel emergency.

Here it comes. High inside, two and two. Not much wind blowing, it isn't the factor. Eddie Dyer is doing a little rooting down on the third base coach at Boxes. Masterson winds up, delivers strike three, swinging. Pee Wee Reese becomes the first National League strike out, Victor. And Big Ralph Brinkas, starts the strike from the National League all-star, Doug Aude on the right side or first base side of the diamond. Out to the plate and he takes a bat, handed in by Richie Ashburn. And the big lad is giving a good round of applause. Eight Flings as he throws, right handed. The National Lakers have a two-nothing lead on the strength of Stanley Museum's two run first inning homerun. The pitch, swinging a mess. Strike one. Ashburn in the on deck circle.

Here it comes. Another Flings, strike two. Masterson doesn't seem to be wasting much time with his pitching opponent. He's just powering that fastball right down the alley. And the outfield, figuring that Branko will swing late, is stationed to the right. foul ball. That's bounded back into the stands and out again, down here, Ashburn. The National League, ball-star mascot, where's the St. Louis Cardinal Batboy's uniform? The count is straight away two strikes. The pitch, there's a foul ball and we almost got. That would have been bad for the bridge work before it had it come all the way up. Two strikes the count. That was a fastball high and down the middle and our microphone is almost perfectly on a line from homeplay through the pitch at box the second base. Here it is.

There's a slow roller down the third base line. Geltner comes up with it and he guns the throw to first base and it is taken for the out. Geltner flips it over the McQuinn for a five-free out, third to first. And with two men out in the first half of the second inning, Richie Ashburn comes up. In games in which the Philadelphia fills the play, I have clocked Ashburn in 3.4 seconds going down that first base line many a time. And Ben Chapman is willing to put him up against any other base runner in either league. He says, co-headed youngster who can run like a wind, a left-hander, he beat out to hit the Gordon his first time. There's the bounce but it's fouled back. He's perfectly willing to fit his speed against that of any third baseman, short-stop, second baseman or first sack or in the business. When it comes to pushing or dragging buts. He already owns the game's first stolen base and has had an impressive all-star game debut.

Masters and pitches, there's a foul ball that came right back up, struck him without injury. Charlie very wants to see the ball and it's handed to him by Buddy Roger. The only American leader warming up at the moment is Joe Dawson. And now he is being warmed up by his own battery, mate, Brady Tebbett. Little earlier it was Johnny Schulte. Here's the pitch. There's a ground foul to the right of the first base line. Melon feels that ball, flips it back. Not a single player is out-sunning himself, so intense as the heat. They prefer the cool reaches of the two dugouts. The outfield is playing a little to the left, it's straight away. Here it comes. There's a high foul ball that's drifting into the third base stand. The count still strikes.

Masterson acted as though he hadn't been warmed up. In that first inning, he certainly hadn't settled down. Because before he did, Ashburn greeted him with a hit to second, Stole a base, went to third on Shane Dean's infield out and muscled powder to home run. There goes a high pop-up to deep short stops, but the left field or Henrik comes in. And he takes it. Lou Boudreau couldn't have reached it, and it's a pop-up to left field. No run. No hits. No errors. None left. The score is National League of All Stars 2. American League of All Stars Nothing. As plenty of you know, the greatest pitching exhibition of all time took place in 19-5. That was the year of the All-Shutout World Series. Believe me, the customers got their money as worth and then some.

Now we pause for station identification. This is the mutual broadcasting system. Go into the last half of the second inning with second baseman Joel Gordon, the cleanup batter, leading off for the American League, the National League, off-stars League, and the United States. Going into the last half of the second inning with second baseman Joel Gordon, the cleanup batter, leading off for the American League, the National League, off-stars League, two nothing. Gordon is the right-handed batter with a 260 season's average, appearing in his seventh all-star game.

The Opio plays him to the left. Branca throws a fastball, low outside, ball 1. Conduct, foot-evers, and in the hold, Ken Keltner of Cleveland. Branca is being very deliberate. He has a 2-0 lead. Swing in a miss. He fired that fast curveball, which is most effective, and he keeps it low. 1-1. The coaches are Charlie Dresson and Red Cored into the Yankees at third and first. Here comes high. That one took off a little. A fairly slow curve and the count is 2-1. Third baseman Andy Pasco is playing fairly deep. And the left fielder, Smoosiel is way back. Fast inside, 3-1. Usiel Ashburn and Slaughter, in the outfield from left to right. The NCO from first base around the third is made up of Mies, Chamdenes, Reese, and Pasco.

The catcher, Walker Cooper, the pitcher, Ralph Branca. Branca gets set. Strike, call. That was a fastball that caught the outside, 3-2. Now Gordon faces the payoff pitch as several of his colleagues have. Branca has two strikeouts so far, and has faced only three batters. There goes a high flyball towards left centerfield. Usiel is over calling for it. And he takes it about 315 or 20 feet out. Gordon flies to left to open the second inning. Who's either is on the Detroit Tigers, the centerfielder off. He's playing the position that the fans wanted to see, filled by the great Joe Tommaggio of the New York Yankees. But Tommaggio is injured to the extent that he will see limited service if any. Evers has a season's average of 329, and this is his first all-star game. He's a right-hander.

A fastball inside, ball 1. There are six national league teams represented in this batting order at the moment. This defensive lineup. Here's a drive down the left field line. Usiel goes back, but he can't get it. And it is a home run. Cook Evers home runs to make it to one national league. The records don't indicate whether any other American leagueer ever hit a whole run his first time up. In an all-star game, we're checking to determine whether or not the information is available, but Evers broke in with a bang. And it is two one national leagueers with one out in the second inning and Ken Keltner, another right-hander up. This is his seventh all-star game.

Ball 1. High inside. Keltner is one of the big reasons why the Cleveland Indians are in first place in the American League currently. Evers star game average is 2-14. The pitch. High for ball 2 to a nothing. Spreynka and Cooper. The Dodger and the Giant. Two balls and no strikes. That drive was just to the left of the 358 mark. There's a foul ball that's drifting into the first base. Stands in the count of two and one. Two and one to count. High for one. Three balls, one strike. So far, home runs have accounted for all three runs. Museels two run homer for the national leagueers in the first inning and Evers homer with none on in this one. Swinging in the mouth.

Three balls, two strikes. Keltner's one as though he wanted to emulate the example of who. He took a good savage cut at the ball. The outfield plays him. The outfield plays him deep to the left. And the infield plays him around to the left. They're giving the right field line. There's a foul ball drifting back and out. The count's still free and two. Already the heat is beginning to take its toll of the players. The uniforms look moist. This is the sort of a baseball game where no one will be required to go the distance. The two managers will try to give as many of the fans representatives an opportunity to play as they can. Here's the pitch. There's ball four. Fast ball inside and low. And Franca. Now is in a situation with another base runner. The first one, of course, went all the way around. Two Evers. George McQuinn. The veteran New York Yankee first satchel comes up.

He's also our game batting average. It's only 125. This is his third appearance. But his batting average for the Yankee this year is 268. He stands straight up on the batter's block with a close stance. Feet close together. The third base man plays him in. Swing and a mess. He took a left handed cut at a fast curve ball. At first base, Johnny Mines is holding the runner. Can't tell him very closely. Johnny Sain of the Boston Braves is warming up for the National Leaguers. A right-hander with 11 wins. Outside, one in one. Sain's record is 11 and six. He has one just one more than Ralph Branca, who is on the mound for the National Leaguers at the moment. McQuinn waits. And there's a good curve ball that breaks right over.

George just cocked his head and took it. And the count is one ball, two strikes. Joe Dobson, Boston Red Swats, is still warming up for the American Leaguers. And he may start off the first half of the third inning. Here it is. Outside ball three, France two. Branca just breathes right through that first half inning. He struck out Mullins, struck out Henrik. And Boudreau tapped weekly to Pee Wee Reese. Ralph takes his cap off. Red-shamed eats to deepen his position a little, perhaps an instruction. Under instructions from the bench. The left field line is open because pass-gores playing at about 20 feet. Mines is right on the bag. Kelton leads off just a little. Here's the payoff pitch. And there's a high fly ball going to center field, Ashburn. Has his eye on it all the way as he comes in to take it. There is the second out. McQuinn flies straight away to center field to Ashburn.

Kelton returns to first base. And Buddy Rosa comes out. Buddy is Mr. Connie Maxkatcher. And it's one of the main stays of the phenomenal athletics. Who with one of the finest pitching staffs in either league are knocking F Cleveland's door. Pathco came over to exchange a word of encouragement. With a pitcher, Ralph Franca. This is Rosa's third All-Star game. He has a season's average of 216 and All-Star Record of 166. Low in the dirt. Ball won. The possibility of a pinch hitter from Masterson suggests itself should Rosa get a board. Stovston is still warming up and so is Johnny Sain for the National Eagers. There's a throw to first, but Kelton are danced back. My's made no take. The score is National League 2, American League 1. Branca delivers and there goes a fly ball toward right field.

Slotter moves over toward the line. He takes it. And Rosa is fly to right field, retires the side in the last half of the second inning. One run, Evers home run. No errors. Just the one hit. A base on balls and one runner left on base. So at the end of two innings, the National Eagers still lead by the narrowest possible margin to the one. The first three men up in the third inning for the National Eagers will be Red Chain D, Stan Mewsio and Johnny Mines. Now did you suspect that it was going to be the National League that would unleash its power so quickly to take a lead as has been the case? Well, in all Stargamer, you get so many glittering performance together. You never can tell what's going to happen. And in this instance, and this is not any sort of an alibi,

because in our position, we see all teams and doesn't make a great deal of difference. It's the outcome of the game. But the American League's power of pitchers are not in action. Walter Matson is one of the best. He works at it, however, was knocked out of the box after several innings. And perhaps, wasn't the best of shape for the game. Maybe didn't warm up enough as you indicated. But incidentally, Jim, I just ran upstairs to the press box to check and they're working further. Who divers, who is Joe Demaggio's substitute in this game? It is many home runs at one time as well as the match has hit an eighth previous all-star games, but it may not be the first time that a first man ever had a home run the first time up. Max West did it in 39. Here is Red Chain Deeds leading off in the third. And he follows that first one away for Strike 1. Well, one thing certain, who divers, debut in an all-star game uniform will... Hey, it's Kelly Rowland. You may not know this, but I have Exama.

Shane Deans grounded out to first baseman George McQuinn his first time up. Masterson winds up. Fires it. And that's a curve ball. Outside one and one. And now Vick Rashi is warming up for the American leagers. Dodson was to have been used in the event Masterson and got into trouble apparently. Walter Pitches. And there's a high pop-up to the right side. Foul ball being chased by McQuinn. He goes through the coaches box and he makes the catch directly in front of the National League dugout.

Shane Deans fowls out to first baseman George McQuinn. One out in the third inning for the National Leagers who leads to the one. And the applause is as you might suspect for Stanley Museo, the Genora of Pennsylvania. One of the most popular baseball players ever to come down the Major League bike. His season's batting average of 403 is the only Major League market the moment above 400. Masterson lost control of the ball. He held it, slipped off the rubber I believe. Didn't seem to have injured himself and never did deliver the pitch. If you were looking for a perfect ball that would have been it had there been runners on. Now he throws. Outside. Ball one. That was an oddity but as far as the play of the game is concerned it meant nothing except that the crowd seemed to be delighted by it. Here it comes. There goes a drive to center field.

It's sinking fast. The bat is broken and it's in there for a base hit. That's that broke completely in half. He held a handle going down the first baseman line and the rest of the bat flew out into the end field halfway between first baseman and the pitchers mound for Museo's second hit and the fourth National League hit of the ball game. A single to center for Stan. He's on first and big Johnny Mays comes up. Mays single to center at last time. Here's the pitch. Strike called fastball. Mays single through the middle at first time. That was Museo's fourth hit and 13 trips to the plate in an all-star capacity. But this is the first game in which he has really started off impressively. Masters and pitches. There's a ground ball. That one goes over to Joe Gordon. Gordon to Boudreau. Boudreau fumbles the ball. And he is out at second base. He picked the ball up just in time to get Stanley Museo the other second.

But of course the double play opportunity went by the board and very nearly both runners were safe. It was a high bouncing ground ball. Very slow one to the right of second base. And in the interest of the double play, Gordon decided to flip the ball over to Boudreau. Had a force play been required. He obviously would have made the play himself. So the fourth out on Museo's second base is four to six. Gordon to Boudreau. Lou dropped the ball on the left field side of second. But picked it up just before Museo came sliding in. That chop's Johnny Mays down to one hit and two trips. And in the first base, by virtue of the field's choice, as the inner slaughter comes up, he hasn't officially been at that because he walked his first time. Masterson stepped off the mound off the rubber just as the play down by Charlie Berry call time. The outfield is deep to the right. Boudreau is playing just 12 or 15 feet to the left of second base. Slaying on a miss.

Strike one. You may recall last year in the All-Star game at Rigglyfield that one of the great plays of the contest was a position play by Lou Boudreau at the expense of slaughter. Left handed Johnny Schmitz of the Cubs is winding up for the National Liggers. A curve ball outside, one and one. It was indicated to me prior to the game by Eddie Dyer that Schmitz might be the second starter, the second pitcher. But he at that time wasn't certain. Masterson throws one, a fastball way outside, and the count is two and one. The score, National League All-Star is two, American League All-Star is one. But it's in the early stages of the game that must go at least nine innings. The weather looks good. A little prospect of rain. Here's the pitch. There's the ground ball that goes slowly down the third base line, and it is going to be an infield hit. Keltner had to let the ball roll. It rolls 90 feet right next to the bag.

Mies went to second and was long fence there, and slaughter. Race over first base down the right field line was a lazy little infield roller. Runners on first and second, and that is hit number five off the delivery of Waller Masu-Fen. Keltner had no alternative because he never could hope to catch slaughter at first. Dobson runs back out of the bullpen as Pathco steps in. He grounded into a force out at last time. He's a right-handed. Inside ball one. Last time at bat with slaughter on second base. Pathco forced Mies at third. Mies on second base, rather, and slaughter on first. Here's the pitch. Outside, and it's two and nothing. Rashi continues to warm up. Dobson did not go out there for the purpose of replacing him. He had made a trip to the dugout and took a turkey's towel back out, which is a very useful implement on a day like this.

Schmitz, a left hander, is still warming up for the National Leagueers. Masterson throws. There's a ground ball that goes to Gordon. Gordon flips to Boudreau and the fourth on slaughter winds up the inning. That one went four to six. And in the third inning, no runs, two more National League gets, no errors, two runners left. The score is National League All-Stars 2, American League All-Stars 1. During his career with the Washington Senators, Walter Johnson pitched seven opening day shutouts.

The statistician on the press box has completed his check-in and has found that Hootiever is the first American League All-Star ever to hit a home run his first time up. It was done previously by Max West of the National League All-Star. Hevers became the first American Leagueer to hit a home run his first time up in his first All-Star game, but Max West did it on the National League side. Going into the last half of the third inning with the National Leagueers leading 2-1, Mickey Vernon will bat for his teammate, Walter Masterson. Mickey is the left-handed batter and the first pitch by Branker is right over for a call strike.

Vernon has a batting average for the season of 260. This is his second All-Star game. Outside, one in one, Vernon has two previous at-bats in all-Star competition without a hit. Branker's start just wind up, throws, and it's a half swing, but Mickey checked it out. And took one low to one. Usuals to run Homer accounts for both National League runs and Hevers home run for the Lowen American League. There's a foul ball off to the left. The count now is even up to and to. Meantime Johnny Smith's Chicago Cub South Pause bearing down in a warm-up capacity for the National Leagueers. This will countless Bear Out Brankers last inning on the mound and Vick Rashi will replace Walter Masterson.

Come to the start of the fourth. Vernon waits outside, ran through, and the count has been run out again. Cabbage may be the new catcher because Yogi Berra just took over from Bertie and took Rashi's last few pitches. There's ball four. Mickey Vernon gets aboard. The bass on balls to Mickey puts him on first base in Louis this teammate Walter Masterson and Pat Mullin of Detroit comes into the batter's box. Pat struck out as the lead off batter for the American League. Tommy Henry comes out into the on deck circles. The American Leaguers have a time run on first base in the last half of the third inning. Third bass on Pat go in close. Five ball one.

The National Leaguers are probably not certain of the tactics that will be used by Bucky Harris. But third bass on Pat go in close in the event of a bunch. There's a stretch. Ball two outside. They looked that time as though Mullin was just about to swing on it. Two and nothing. The good ball game. Last year the American Leaguers won a close one. A game in which Johnny Maye's homeers. All three runs today have been a result of round trippers. Ball three. Bass ball high. And Bricka says new ball please. Charlie Berry is quick to reply and he gives Walker Cooper anyone. Sometimes there's a little roughness on a ball that a fit you doesn't like or a smooth spot. Or maybe it's strictly psychological. He just gets it into his mind that it's the baseball and not a temporary lack of control.

He's troubling him. And umpires are nearly always willing to oblige. In all cases they've worth stalling seems to be a factor. Hey it's Kelly Rowland. You may not know this but I have Exema.

Consecretive bases on balls, the pinch hitter Mickey Vernon. And lead off that or Pat Mullin. That is the third base on balls given up by Ralph Branker. Runners on first and second, Tommy Henry Cup. And now from the position of the National League in field.

They believe that the stage is about to be set for a sacrifice because Mies and Pathgor are close with Henry Cup. Henry bluffs the bun. And there is a throw to second base. It bounds away from Peeley Rees. There is no advance on the part of either base runner. Peeley is looking at a finger on his right hand. It's going to get it just a little. Just bum. But it's trivial. He just looked at it, flipped it and went back to this position. Branker has his back turned to the batter. And seems to be working with his glove. He is soaking wet. It's a muggy day, excessively warm. Pathgor is sneaking in toward the plate a little. Inside ball two, two or nothing. Johnny Sain is warming up again. A moment ago, it was Johnny Schmitt's the softball. But either Leo Girocher has changed his mind.

Or he believes Sain is going to be a better fireman. He probably has earmarked Sain for a relief roll. Strike, call. Pass ball over the inside corner. This is the first inning in which Branker has found himself in anything approaching serious trouble. He's pitching behind a two to one lead. And his previous only bad pitch was a home run ball by Evers. Strike, call. That's caught the outside corner. And the card is two and two. Two ball, two strikes. His first time off, Tommy Henrick went down on strike. He protested, started a little withdrawal, but the decision's good. Here comes... Here comes... Ball three.

He started a swing, checked it just in time. And the pitch broke into the dirge. And now the payoff pitch comes up. With Mickey Vernon on second base, Pat Mullin on first base. Both of them fast on the bases. Chuck Dresson hollers something in Mickey Vernon. Red Corridan is coaching Pat Mullin. Here's the big one. Strike. A throw to third base is not in time. And it's a double field. Henrick swung, missed, struck out to become Branker. Third strike out victim. But when the throw from Walker Cooper to third base with a four throw and full half goal over in the foul territory, Mickey Vernon was able to slide in safely with a stolen base. And it is scored a double field. Double field. Two stolen bases, simultaneously. Here's the American Lager's an opportunity to go ahead in the event of a good solid base hit.

On the other hand, a perfect throw there would have made a double play. Lou Budrowa. He grounded out the short stop, few he reached for last time. The possibility of a double play now is remote. There's a foul tip. That one bounded right off Charlie Dury's just protector and continued on back to the screen. And he came to rest just to the left of Commissioner Chandler where the bat boy, a tired as a St. Louis Brown, picked it up. The mascot's are wearing the uniform to the two St. Louis clubs. Who drew has a season's average of 355. Bob Ball. That hit one of the uprights, one of the girders. And came right down to the foot of Red Jordan. He pretended to be a little more surprised than probably with the gate. The end field is not playing in to cut the runoff. With the exception of third base and pass go,

the others are playing fairly deep. Hi. One ball, two strikes. Walker Cooper must be given an orchard because he is playing in the All Star game at the wish of the fans with a very thorny. He is not at his physical best. There goes a drive to right field that will mean a run. Slotter makes the catch and here comes the tying run to the plate and a throw is not in time. It was thrown from deep right field. The other runner Pat Mullin held second base and it is too too as budraw flies deep enough to slaughter in right field to allow Mickey Werner to come home. Not even a throwing arm like that of inner slaughter was powerful enough to gun the ball in from his position which was about 335 feet out in right field. That's the third run driven in for Lou budraw. And he has been in five All Star games.

Joe Gordon up. He teams with Lou to defend Cleveland's middle base, the Keystone fact and they are one of the great combinations for all time. Gordon is first time up fly to left. A fast ball inside, ball one. Mullin on second base, hopeful of scoring. Johnny Sainz still bearing down for the national leagueers and the Avedi's needed. Brank of pictures and throws a curve high to or nothing. Food evers in the on deck circle. One of two All Stars, everybody hit home runs in their first All Star time at bat. There's a ground ball down the third base line foul. It was taken by Tato just outside the bag and beans ridden called it foul. It was obvious after it was two thirds of the way down the line that it would be.

The All Star game has produced some magnificent thrills. The greatest individual day was with him in 1946, 20 walks, single twice, homer twice, one home run off Rift Sool's balloon ball. The pitch, foul ball. Gordon was trying to draw away from one. The ball struck his bat accidentally in the cottage two and two. Sometimes base hits results from just such a ducking away maneuver is that. And the baseball players like to call them, excuse me, single or double. They rate them the cheapest hits in baseball, but they have upset the apple card in many a game. Mullin is standing just a few feet off second, taking not a long lead. Here comes foul pit just out of the reach of Walker Cooper. Walker has broken a couple of fingers in his major lead career, but Tommy Henry's little finger is just about as bad looking as any of them, and that happened in a softball game.

The intent kelton were comparing hands today. Two to the counter. Inside, three and two. Three balls, two strikes. The score is tied to two. And this runs scored by Mickey Vernon after a double steal, and a fly ball was the first not a homerun. There's a ground foul, right five Charlie dressing. One of the fans out in left field, very nearly losing himself apart trying to come after it. The game is bogged down for just an instant. It has been a picture of you all more than anything else. The American leaguers have just one hit, two runs and one hit. Brank of pictures, foul tip. And that one bounds off to the left. Gordon is resisting that strike out attempt on the part of Brank of.

Brank of has three strike out so far. The outfield is just the shade to the left. There's plenty of outfield here at Portman Park St. Louis, especially in better and less. The pitch foul ball all off to the left. That hit the gloves of one of the American leaguers. Gordon has been in the batter's box a long time. Brank of pitching, of course, has an approach that had a Carl Hovel won in 1934. He's fan Ruth Gerig, Fox Simmons and Chrono. That was the most memorable single pitching performance of all time. There's a foul ball. Again, Gordon looks up and grins. He's delighting the fans who have chased down those souvenir baseball. The count is still 3-2.

There are two men out in the last half of the third inning. In the 1948 Major League Golf Car Baseball game, which is played for the benefit of the player's sentient fund, is a two-two tie. Brank is rubbing the palm of his right hand hard against his jersey and the ball. And he's having some difficulty. Pat Mullin is taking a longer lead off second base. There's the ground ball. This one goes to Pee Wee Reese. Reast throw across the diamond demise and Gordon is out. 6-3. Reast to Mines. One run. No errors, two bases on balls, two stolen bases and one runner left. At the end of three innings of play, the American League, two runs, one hits, two on his left, the National League, two runs, five hits, four on his left.

for the excellence of his cooperation and the thoroughness of his assignment of facilities for both the AM broadcast and the television coverage of this event. And incidentally, since the last time you and I were here, Mel Allen, for a game such as this, sportsman's park has had his face lifted and has been rebuilt in the point where now it takes its place among the finest baseball parks in the land, don't you agree? I'm with you 100% there Jim and the people here in St. Louis, both the Cardinal and Brown representatives do all they can for the visiting fire when it's deeply appreciated. We're going to have some changes in the American League roster. Vick Rache is now doing the pitching for the American leagers and Bertie Tubbets has gone in to do the catching. The first man up will be Walker Cooper of the New York John. Rache's record is ten and three. He's a right-hander and his first pitch is a curve ball that breaks inside or right-hand batter.

Rache is from Coneces, New York, 190 pounds, six feet, one 28-years-old. A big Husky right-hander. Low outside, ball two, two and nothing. Cooper, his first time up forced Pat Goh for the ground ball to third baseman Ken Keltner. The new battery, Rache of New York, Tubbets of Boston. Here it comes. There's a foul tip right into Bertie's glove in the college 2-1. Tubbets is a native of Nash and the graduate of Providence College. Eddie Dyer continues to coach the third base. His son was working out by the way just before the ballgame, Eddie Jr. Swing and a miss. Cooper went all the way down in the batter's box and he took a savage cutter to Rache fastball. Two two. For the while at least this will be Rache's ballgame since it's high score.

There's a ground ball that goes to Keltner. He takes it down on a big hop, guns it across to McQuinn for the out. Walker Cooper goes out, Keltner to McQuinn, third to first. C. Lee Reese is waiting to bat. His first time up he struck out. This is his third all-star game. Reese is one of the most likable characters in baseball. He's from Louisville, Kentucky. He was born in Ekron, Kentucky. Strike call. That was a fastball right down the middle. One man out on the top of the fourth. The national and American league is tied to two. For as she delivers, there's a ground ball that goes to Keltner and he takes a vicious grounder. Throw it to first for the out. McQuinn came up with a nice stop on a low throw. That was one of the harder hit balls of the game. But Reese goes out. Keltner to McQuinn.

Two men are out and we now have a pinch hitter. Frank Gustin, a Pittsburgh. He has a batting average of 303 for the year. He's from Hoopstown, Illinois originally, but he's a Pittsburgher now. Brashee's first pitch is low in a way. Ball won. This is Gustin's third all-star game. He hasn't had a hit in three times a bat, but he has a season's average of 303. Brashee winds up low. Ball two, two and nothing. Gustin is one of the reasons why the Pittsburgh Pirates will continue to be a fennet contender this year. The pitch strike calls curveball. Two and one. Currently, Pittsburgh is in second place. Five and a half games back in the Boston Braves.

The outfield plays Gustin deep and slightly to the left. The infield straight away. He uses an open stance. Swing on this. Two and two. Brashee is a strong, powerful, right-hander. With a good fastball, good curve and a very conscientious workman. Gustin gets set to the two-two pitch. Strike three down in the dirt. Tevitz throws the first base, and McQuinn gets the put out on the play. It's a strikeout, but he had to be thrown out. Two to three. Tevitz to McQuinn. So Brashee's first inning is a one-two-three affair. At the end of three and a half innings, the score is National League of all stars, two, American League of all stars, two. In baseball, flying as you know, a fast pitch that grazes a batter's whiskers is commonly called a Gillette.

Do you know, however, that fast-acting Gillette shaving creams now contain K-34 and amazing facial adyceptic? K-34 does what no amount of scrubbing with ordinary soap and water can do. It destroys from 85 to 99% of dangerous bacteria on and beneath outer layers of the skin. What's more, the bacteria count stays down. The protection lasts from one day's shave until the next. This means that simply by softening your whiskers with Gillette brushless or Gillette ladder and enjoying a smooth, refreshing shave, you end up with a cleanest face a man can have, not just clean-looking and clean-feeling, but surgically clean. Enjoy this valuable protection. Ask for Gillette brushless or Gillette ladder a quarter. The new pitcher for the National Leagueers is going to be left-handed Johnny Schmitz of the Chicago Cubs.

And his record is 89. He will face Hoodievers who homework his first time up. Strike call. It's a two-two ball game and just as it is rashes to winner lose for the while at least so it is Johnny Schmitz's. The pitch inside one-on-one, Bern Stevens, who ranked behind Lou Boudreau in the balloting for American League shortstop is warming up out on the bullpen. And Bobby Dore, his second-based teammate, is warming up with him. There goes a high fly ball towards left centerfield, Ashburn coming in, Reese going back. Reese weighs everybody away and he got it at the last instant, but there were a few ooze-nose. Before it became certain that he would make the catch. Reese went out about 75 feet from his normal deep-chorked opposition. The Leavers pop to six. One out. Ken Keltner up. His first time up Keltner walked.

He has one of three bases on balls that were issued by starting pitcher Ralph Branker. Right-hander. Low outside ball one. Fast ball. George McQuinn is on deck. Here comes Kerr ball caught the inside corner and the count is one-on-one. Two-two to the score. As the crowd has settled down, two of pitcher's duel. Waiting for the break. That will break it wide open perhaps for one team. Right-two. Fast ball has just breathed over the inside corner. Keltner was interested in going after it. One-on-two. This is the last half of the fourth inning. Here's the wind up. Schmidt's pitches. There's the ground ball. It goes down the third base line. Label perhaps for extra bases. Museo feels it quickly. Keltner rounds and has to hold on with a single.

That's well-throwed from Museo to Schaindey. Holds that hit to one base. That's the second American League hit. And with any less quick fielding on the park, a Stanley Museela would have been an easy double. George McQuinn out. He flies to center. That's the fourth all-star game hit for Keltner, playing in his seventh. McQuinn is left-hander. Schmidt steps back off the rubber. And that's the signal for Keltner to go back at first. That gives Ken one hit and one try. He walks his first time up. It's a two-two game in the fourth inning. Fast ball low. Ball one. The game is nearing the halfway mark. At which time there will be the customary change bump bars.

One ball, no strikes. Outside ball two. That was a hook. Wide breaking curved ball. The second base combination, Schaindey and St. Rhys of the Cardinals and Dodgers, playing in a level. Hopefully with a double play. Third base and pass goes in fairly close with a left-hander up. McQuinn waits for the pitch. There's a driver that goes into center field for a base hit. Keltner goes to second and holds up. Ashburn throw is cut off by Rhys from the American Leagueers third hit by George McQuinn. Putt runners on first and second with birdie tevets coming out. That was McQuinn's second hit in an all-star game. And this is his third all-star contest. So again the American Leagueers have a tie breaking run on second base. Birdie tevets is batting average. It's 286. And this is his second all-star game.

But hurry, these deals won't last long. Toyota's easy choice sales event ends soon. We make it easy. Toyota, let's go places. It's our game he wanted that four times. No hits. George uses an open stance slightly, bends his knees and looks at one inside for ball one. Geltner on second, McQuinn on first. Smith is having less luck in his first inning than Bricka did in his. The game is tied to two. Here comes inside ball two, doing nothing. Geltner goes back and tags up a second in routine fashion. Red chain needs displaying fairly deep a second base. And Johnny Sain of the Boston Braves is winding up again.

The stretch. Here comes inside, Brian nothing. Smith has been pitching tightly to Bertie Tabits. Two close to the fifth. Doran Steven to both finish their warm-ups and have come back to the dugout. Three and nothing. Tabits is in a position now, waiting for one of the good ones. The Johnny Schmidt must throw to avoid walking in. Here it is, way outside, the bases are loaded. That's the fourth base on ball given the American ligers. And in a sense that has been partially the undoing of the National League because it has cost them their initials, queued in nothing and then two to one lead. The score is tied to two, the bases are filled and Dick Rashi is the batter.

Rashi is very workman like he gives you the impression of quiet, modest, confident, and efficient so you when he steps into the batter's box. See we reached just had a word with Johnny Schmidt's. Their opponents every other day of the year but not today when the National League gets together in an attempt to upset the American League apple cart. Rashi swings and misses. The count one strike. As pictures go, he is rated a fair hitter. He stands straight away, fairly close to the plate. Swing in a mess. Schmitz is feeding him that jug-gummed curve ball on successive pitches and the count is two strikes. In a two-two ball game, the American ligers have free men on with one out.

Outside, a fastball thrown low on outside, the count one and two. Here's the wind up by Schmitz. There's a foul ball to left field. Into the stands, a good clean line drive but it goes for just a long strike. The ball is well hit as any ball has been. One ball, two strikes the count. Johnny Sam continues to bear down in his warm-up capacity. Here it comes. Hi. Two and two. The National League scored both their runs in the first inning on Richie Ashburn's infield hit and Stanley Newsyles' home run. Newsyles' first all-star game home run.

But what a top-the-right center field stands. Deeper than the 354-foot mark. At about the 360-foot mark. But now it's a two-two game. There's a drive to left field for a bay pass. It's three-to-two American League and here comes another run to the plate. The throw is not in time. It's four-to-two with runners on first and third as Richie upsets the dope and drives in two runs. Richie, after swinging and missing two curve balls, found a pitch to his liking. Single sharply to left the old scoring keltoner and McQueen and sending Kevix to third. Pat Mullin is being lifted for John Amaggio. Eddie Dyer is coming out and that may be the signal for the replacement of Johnny Schmitz with Johnny Sane right-hander of the Boston Braves.

There's the announcement and that is the signal for a fresh burst of applause. And Johnny Sane is being called in for the National Leagers. After hitting a line-drive foul and then taking another ball, Richie straightened out that foul ball but he had hit previously and hit a sharp line-drive right over the head of third-base mananti-papco. Now there's a neat little mound of National Leagers out on the mound. Red Shane Deenston, Johnny Mies, are the only two who are not currently sharing in it. Richie comes rolling down off the edge and John Sane is coming in from the bullpen. Sane has an 11 and 6 record for the Boston Braves. And this is all happening in the last half of the fourth inning. Sane has been in one previous ball-star game and he was the losing pitcher you'll recall last year.

In one inning he allowed one earn run, two hits, struck out one, but he was charged with a defeat. This is the ninth active appearance in an all-star game uniform for Joe DiMaggio. He was chosen 10 times but did not appear one time. This of course is his 10th season in baseball. He has been chosen every time. Johnny Schmitz has fared the worst of all the pitchers in the contest so far because they're just one man out and the last four have reached. He got hootievers on a pop-up. He quieted that home run bad at his. But then Keltner banged a single to left field. McQuinn followed with a single through the middle. Bertie Tevitz got a base on balls. And then Vic Rashi hit a two-and-two pitch into left field. The score at Keltner from third base, McQuinn from second base.

And Sane Bertie Tevitz all the way around the third. This is the kind of a day incidentally one of pitcher needs no jacket at first base. What he really would like in all probability is the nice air cooling system that could be installed in his uniform to fool him down and he runs around. Joe the Maggio. Yes, that's. The big fellow has a 302 batting average for the season so far. He has a 2-19 all-star game average. Seven hits and one home run. He's driven in two runs previously. He's suffering from sore heels and sore knees so could not see a two active service. Johnny Sane broke his position on the mound and Walker Cooper is going out to have a chat with him.

Even though he is not at his physical peak, Joe the Maggio is a frightening pitcher for almost any pitcher to come to play. Far on a way one of the great baseball players will all time. And he comes from a distinguished San Francisco baseball playing family. He stands straight away, erecting the box, waits for Sane's pitch. And there's a drive to left field, tagging up a third base's seventh, Vueziel makes the play and run number five scores. It was a line drive with hit to left field so the big fellow was driven in his third all-star run. And the American leaguers have taken a five to two lead. Two men out, Tommy Hendrick up. All three of those runs were charged to Johnny Schmitz in one third of an inning. Tommy Hendrick has struck out flight. Demog is applauded as he goes back to the dugout and now he can head for the showers.

There's a drive down the right field line that is going to be close to Faric territory of all. In a slaughter ran into one of the grounds, Truman, who didn't get out of the way quickly enough. And his slaughter put his arms around him, I think the gentleman served as sort of a bumper for him. I'm certain that he was considerably softer than that concrete wall. One strike. Rashi was well-rounded second base on his way to third. The ball was fouled by about three feet. Junior Stevens is in the on deck circle. The bat for Lou Boudreau. Hendrick is a left-hander and he hits a high pop-up. Vueziel is calling for it out on the skin of the infield of the left of second. He takes it and that ends the inning. And it was a big inning too, as Hendrick popped up the theory to end it.

The American leaguer came up with three runs in that frame on only three hits. There were no errors. One base on balls, the fourth, and there was just the one runner-lone. So at the end of four running to play, the American leaguer have five runs. Four hits, no errors, three runners left. The national leagers have two runs, five hits, no errors, and four runners left. James in the American league, line-up at the moment, had shortstop. Junior Stevens of the Boston Red Sox, in place of Lou Boudreau, Bobby Doar of the Boston Red Sox, in place of Joe Gordon. And there will have to be a replacement in right field Al Farrilla of the St. Louis Browns, in place of Pat Mullin of the Detroit Tigers. Those three replacements swell to a toe.

Meet the Red Bull Dragonberry Emergizer. It's one of the many new drinks out now. Ice cold drinks could be so... fire. Try them all only at McDonald's. The five, the American League replacement of the past inning. The American League batting order now is a Rilla right field. Henrik left field, Stevens shortstop, door second base, Evers in center, Keltner at third, McQuinn still at first, Tevitz catching and Vick Rashi of the Yankees doing the pitching. The public addresses him and our sir is, equatingly, fanfare at Corp and Park with a number of changes and on in my field, more national leagueers are beginning to warm up.

Not pitchers. Bob Elliott is one of them and they will now let's go to other positions. Bill Macy a catcher is one of them. But meanwhile, Richie Ashburn with one hit and two trips leads off in the fifth. Rashi's first pitch is right over the plate for a call strike, curve ball. Rashi pitches. Strike two. A call curve ball. The American League leads five to two at the end of four innings of play. Five McCullough is another of the national leagueers warming up. What he can of the Giants is the other. A wind up. High. One ball. Two strikes to the count. Eddie Dyer is still coaching a third base in Melloth doing the coaching at first base for the national leagueers. The outfield is playing Ashburn a little to the left. There's a ground ball that goes to centerfield for the base hit.

It went by Junior Stevens as he streaks over to try to knock it down. And Ashburn gets the ball back. Junior Stevens as he streaks over to try to knock it down. And Ashburn gets his second hit. That is the sixth hit for the national leagueers. The single to center by little Richie Ashburn of the Philadelphia Phil's, one of the rookie sensations of the year. Shandies, the second base man up. He has grounded the first and followed the first. A left-handed. There's a ground ball that goes followed down the right field line. And Buddy Curve, the giant, turns around and feels that one. Clips it back to first base on fire, Bill Stewart. One strike to count. The pitch inside, fastball that made Shandies lean away from it. Sam Hewziel has driven in both national league runs with a two run homer.

He and Ashburn have two hits each. Shandies is looking for his first one. Curve ball outside, rashie seem to lose control of that slow one. And the count is two and one. No American leager has a total of two hits a jet. As a matter of fact, the American league run total exceeds its hit total. Five runs for hits. The pitch, there goes a high fly ball toward right-settafield. Zerilla comes in for it and he makes the catch with Evers looking on. Right-fielder Al Zerilla has taken Shandies fly ball and here Sam Hewziel again. And the national league fans are hopeful of he will repeat. How new house were ran out to the bullpen in left field for the American leagers but probably to take a message.

Here's the pitch outside ball one. Hewziel has a two run homer run on a single to center, two out of two. Bob Lemon of Cleveland is warming up for the American leagers. Rashie takes a stretch. There goes a long high fly ball to right-settafield. Zerilla is running over. And it is a foul ball. Into the fans. That would not have been a home run because the screen stretches all the way over. Had it been in fair territory, it would have been as many bases Zerilla could have made. The American league still claims to its five to two lead on the basis of that free run rally in the fourth inning, which Vick Rashie swung the big bat. The count one and one on Musiel. One out, one on. Strike call. Rashie slow-curred him.

One ball two strikes the count. Johnny Shulley is warming up Bob Lemon of no hit, no run, same. Musiel crutches. Swings and netters. Strike three. Pull the strang and throw a slow-curred ball and throw it down in the dirt. That is the third National League strikeout. At the first time, Musiel's big bat has been silenced. Johnny Mides up. Johnny hit a home run in last year's game. He has one hit and two trips in this. He's single through the middle in the first inning. And in the third inning is Roller the Joe Gordon forced Musiel. He's a big left-handed, the outfield moves deep. Outside ball one. Ashburn in two lead off capacities has reached base safely, each time with hits.

The National Lakers are trying to overcome that free run deficit. The pitch. There's a ground ball that goes to Bobby Dore. Dore makes the play the first base, McWin takes it and that's off of the National Lakers. In the fifth inning, his mind goes out. Second to first. No runs, one hits, no errors, one runner left. And at the end of four and a half innings of play, the score is American Lakers. Five National Lakers. Two. While the fame of his immortal achievement grows with each passing year, no one knows the pitcher who struck out the mighty casing. Just about everybody on the other hand can name the razor that fans out tough whiskers with the greatest ease and dispatch. Yes, you're right. It's the improved Gillette super speed razor that changes blades instantly. This razor has a notched positioning bar for use with a Gillette dispenser. Look on a blade and it drops in place, presto. Twist the handle and the razor closes. To clean, loosen the holder, rinse and shave.

Convenient? You said it. What more you get shades that are shades? Clean, smooth and old, so refreshing. No, it doesn't take a locksmith to make this razor work. Ask for the improved Gillette super speed razor with 10 blade dispenser, a big $50 value for only $1. And now for the fourth time as an all-star game colleague, it is a privilege again to bring in Mel Allen, the popular broadcaster of the New York Yankees whose voice you have heard many times on Gillette's All-Star and World Series broadcasts. Mel? Hello there, everybody, once again. And before we get into action here on the last half of the fifth inning, with a American leading by score of five to two, we see the whip. You will blackwell walking down to the National League Bullpen. We have two changes and the National League defensive lineup. A bomb value that is taken over at third base of the Boston Braves, Buddy Curve, the New York Giants, is at short.

Red-chained being still at second, dynamized at first, stand in usual fill-in left, Rikki, Ashburn, and center, Inus, Nauter, and Wright, and back of the plate film, Macy, of the Boston Braves has replaced Walker Cooper. So those are your lineup changes, plus the Empire Switch, with Beans Reardon, who was on-piring at third base, taking over back of the plate, and Charlie Barry, the American League, who is back of the plate, taking over at third, with a switch between first and second bases, which we'll pick up in a moment. Junior Stevens leading off, takes a curve ball, is drove that outside corner for a call strike. Stevens went into a replace, Luba Drow and Shortstock, hitting 300 on the season. Junior is the right-hand hitter. Know this ballpark very well, used to play with the St. Louis Brown. Johnny Sainte, the right-hand, throws a fastball, swung on in misses, strike two. This is Stevens' fourth appearance, and in all the star classic, he's had four out of ten for a batting average of 400. Joe Paparela is umpiring at first base now,

and Bill was scared at second as they switched to. So it's an actively gunfire back to the plate right now. Johnny Sainte's two strike pitch to Stevens, so curve balls over there for a call strike three. A beautiful hook that sailed right over that outside corner, just below the shoulders. So, Vern Stevens strikes out, as we come into the last half of the fifth inning with the American League leading five to two. That's the first strikeout recorded by Johnny Sainte, and the fourth recorded by National League pitchers has started Ralph Franco with three of the American Leagueers. Bobby Dore, right-hand hitter up, takes five, all one. Bobby Dore replaced Joe Gordon at second base. For Bobby Dore, this is his six-ball star game. He's had three hits and 14 times at bat in previous classics. Oh, that bat high off his right shoulder. In comes the pitch, curve balls outside. Ball two, two balls no strikes to score. The American League five, the National League two. The outfield playing Bobby Dore, overtored left, he's a pull hitter.

He employs a wide open stance, the infield shaded round toward third, and there was a hit of thunder, I believe. In comes the pitch, not a Bobby Dore. He takes strike call. That was a fastball over that outside corner, bot letter high. It's a two-one count on Bobby Dore. Johnny Sainte, the third pitcher employed by Leo Doreusha this afternoon, Sainte and Rulifro, relieving Johnny Smitz. Here's the pitch. It's in there for call strike two. Bobby started to swing, held up, but the pitch was in there anyway, sweeping curve. Johnny Smitz was scheduled to have worked the middle pre-ennings, the fourth, fifth, and sixth. He took over from Branca, who had worked the first pre-ennings, giving up two runs and one hit. But Smitz was knocked out of the end, the fourth running, and Sainte came along to put out the fire. Now the pitch is swung on in, missed a beautiful curve ball that Bobby Dore swung at, missed, and it's strike three, and Johnny Sainte records his second successive strike-off, and that's the fifth American leader to go down on strikes today. Now coming up is Who Deavers of the Detroit Tigers, who had a home run on the second inning to give the American

a big first run, popped out. Meet the Red Bull Dragonberry Emergizer. It's one of the many new drinks out now. Who knew ice cold drinks could be so fire? Try them all only at McDonald's. Toyota's easy choice sales event is on. Whether you're looking for the performance of the camera, the versatility of Arab 4, the efficiency of a Corolla or all electric driving in the BZ, there's a Toyota that's just right for you. And with great deals across the lineup, now's the time to find yours. But hurry, these deals won't last long. Toyota's easy choice sales event ends soon. We make it easy. Toyota, let's go places. Meet the Red Bull Dragonberry Emergizer. It's one of the many new drinks out now. Who knew ice cold drinks could be so? Fire. Try them all only at McDonald's.

Short is last time up. The outfield paying him to pull and field shaded around toward third. Johnny Singh delivers over the outside corner for a call strike. And the big Boston brave right-handed is showing something that he is pitching to the afternoon thus far. The American League out in front of five to two, last half of the fifth inning. Johnny Ready delivers. Pits it just outside for a ball. Who'd either start off at it held up and played on fire, beans ridden. Called it a ball, the count is one and one. One ball, one strike, two outs, nobody on last half of the fifth inning. Five to two, favorite of the American League. The right-handed delivers, here's a fastball that's over that outside corner for a call strike two. Johnny Singh, who was charged for the defeat. In the 1947 All Star game, he's coming on to do some wonderful pitching thus far. Bob L. VIII, post that line halfway back. Singh Ready, here's the one, two pitch to two divers. Curve balls in there for a call strike three

and he strikes out the side. Johnny Singh strikes out the side in the last half of the fifth inning for one of the highlights of this 15th annual All Star game this afternoon. And at the end of five innings of play, the score remains the American League V, the National League II, the American League, five innings total, five runs, four hits, no errors, three left on, the National League II run, six hits, no errors, and five men left on base. Before we go into the top half of the six inning, ladies and gentlemen, we pause for station identification. This is the mutual broadcasting system. This is Mel Allen with Jim Britt. And Frans Lock speaking to you once again from Sportsman's Park in St. Louis, Missouri, side of the 15th annual Major League All Star game. The sun is shining brightly. We're ready to move into the top half of the sixth inning.

With the American League leading by a score of five to two, celebrities galore from among the Major League baseball executives. Here's we sweep around very rapidly. We can see Mr. Ford Prick and Mr. Will Harrods, the National American League president. To build Beck and Hank Greenberg of the Cleveland Indians, Dan Topping and George Weiss with the New York Yankees, Joe Cronin with the Boston Red Sox. And now we're ready for the sixth inning. In a slaughter, it takes a pitch in there for a call strike. Top half of the six, slaughter walked and singled in his two previous appearances, left hand batter, big crashy, a right hander throws, pitch fastball inside, and the count is one in one. Kenny Counten is at 30, in on the grass, in the event of a bun. Junior Stevens at short, Bobby Doris II, George McQuinn first, Henrik is in left, Evers in center, and right, in comes the pitch. And it's right down the middle of fastball for call strike two. Eddie Dyer coaching at third base, Mel Ott coaching at first. Joe Coleman of the Philadelphia Athletics, a right hander warming up in the bullpen with Yogi Berrick catching him for the American League.

One ball to strikes the count on slaughter, they claim to pull the right. Big crashy, deliver, slaughter, swings, and sends a little dripper out for the mound. Right, she comes in, feels the ball, near the first baseline, throws over to McQuinn, in time, and there's one away for the national league in the first half of the sixth inning. Slotter, topping the pitch, saying little dribbler, a little dribbler out toward the mound, which right she converted into the putout by way of George McQuinn. And now we have Bob Elliott stepping in to hit for the first time in the ball game, having replaced Andy Patko at third base. Remember the Boston Braves, the right hand hitter? One of the most valuable player awards for the national league in 1947. Elliott has been in three all-star games with his betting average of 200 right hand batter of the pitch, curveball, way outside for ball one. Bob's had one out of five in all-star game competition. The score, American League five, the national league two, first half of sixth inning, outfield playing him to pull, around toward left.

Right she delivers, fastball is just off that outside corner, just missed it for ball two. Dick Rache came on to do the pitching for the American League after Walt Masterson and Earl of first three and in walking one striking out one, giving up five hits and two runs. Rache struck out two thus far, and has given up one hit, has niche in any passes. It was a year ago that Frank J got to put it for the American League victory. Income to the pitch, swung on, line solidly into the hole between third and short, out in the left field for a base hit. Henry comes up for the ball and a high bounce throws on into second. And Elliott is on with a line single to the left of the afternoon for the national league. Coming up to bat now, another member of the Boston Braves, Phil Macy, who replaced Walter Cooper back of the plate. Macy arrived hand batter. He's been in two previous all-star games, hasn't hit in two times at bat. Dick Rache takes the stretch one away. Elliott leads off first. Here's your pitch, curveball outside, ball one.

We started the same moment ago as Frank J was credited with the American League victory last year, a member of the New York cankeys. And at the moment, Dick Rache is in position to be credited with the victory representing the New York cankeys again this year. Simply a matter of rotation of pitchers and the situation of a ballgame. Here's your delivery. curveball is way outside. Bernie Teppits blocked it beautifully to keep him being a wild pitch. And the count now on Phil Macy arrived hand battered two balls, no strikes. You will black hole. Now the Cincinnati Red just throwing in the bullpen. Tommy Holmes with the Boston Braves is warming up out there. We'll see that shortly. Bob Elliott leads away from first base one out. Five to two favor the American League 16. There's a pitch that's lined out in the center field for a base hit, taking on one hot by Hootievers, holding up at second. As Elliott is either Zeevers fires up throwing the third, cut off by Steven's at short. And the national league is beginning to stir here in the sixth inning. As they come up with their eighth hit of the ballgame. They've outhipped the American League now,

eight to four, but the American League leads by score to five to two, capitalizing on wildness in the fourth inning on the part of Johnny Schmitz, together with three solid base hits. Now Buddy Curr steps up, batting in place of P.W. Rees, for whom he substituted short, Buddy Curr of the New York Giants, another right hand hitter. Buddy Curr's first appearance in an all-star game. You've got Bob Elliott on second, Phil Macy on first, one out, sixth inning, five to two American League. An ominous clouds are looming back at center field, here's the pitch. Inside and high, ball one. In addition to Joe Coleman in the American League bow pen, you've got further activity. Bob Lemon is beginning to throw, as Vic Brashee is showing a sign of weakening. Two men on one out, sixth inning, five to two American League,

the National League Threatening. Buddy Curr up there, right hand hitter, choking's bad about three inches. Outfield step four left, your pitch is right over that inside corner. There's a throwdown to second base, but it's knocked off by Vic Brashee at the mound. As Bertie Teppits blocked the throwdown there, but threw it right back to Rashi Hard, and Bob Elliott went scooting back into second base, as Bobby Dora had sneaked in behind him for a potential pickoff. All right, we're ready. Here's your pitch. Buddy Curr swings in central dribbler down, toward third, Kenny Keltner comes in up with it, makes his play to first base from McQueen in time for the out, but Elliott going to third and makes you to second. So Curr is out, Keltner to McQueen on the slow roll of the third. Two down, scheduled to hit, is the pitcher, Johnny Sain. But certainly Leo Doraus here will now send up a fence shitter. It's beginning to get very dark out here at Sportsman's Park, ladies and gentlemen. We can see rain way off in the distance, and not too far off in the distance. The wind is blowing those clouds in this direction over the ballpark,

and the wind is beginning to blow around, puts some weights on your papers, fellas, and we may have rain here in any moment, at any moment. But of course, it's already a full ball game, gone five innings, and we're going to have a fence shitter, or Johnny Sain, it's going to be Ed Wacke's, of a Chicago Cubs, making his first appearance in an all-star game. A left-hand hitter. Eddie Wacke is coming up. A left-hand batter with two men on, runners on second and third. Wacke is a boy from Cambridge, Massachusetts. Elidon third, Maceon second, and Rain in the offing. Rain, Rain, go away, come back another day. Here's the pitch. Wacke just takes outside and high, ball one. So the American League is being disturbed by the National League at the moment. So the American League leads five to two top of the sixth, and everybody's being disturbed by the threat of rain.

Now the pitch comes into Wacke's. He takes outside, ball two, the wind is blowing, blowing in toward home plate. And it is definitely raining about a half a mile from here. We can see it, and it's moving this way, and let's hope it holds away. Big branchy looks into get the sign from Birdie Tuppets. Elidon leads off third, Maceon second, two out six, stunning, five to two, favorite of the American League. Wacke gets the sign, Finchetter, Ed Waitress up there at the plate, a left-hand batter. Here's the delivery. And it's curve on inside for ball three, and the wind is blowing hard, and blowing those rain clouds this way. And the fans are stirring their seats, and they're beginning to move from the bleachers to shelter. And the sportsman's park ground keepers are getting ready to roll that topelin. Big branchy into the wind up, the free nothing pitch to Wacke's. In there for a call strike. And what was a beautiful day up until this moment,

or a couple of moments ago, is being turned into stormy weather on the banks of the Mississippi. Three balls one strike. Runners on second and third, two out six, here's your pitch. Wacke takes strike two, call a fastball, and zip-go over the outside corner above the knees. Now the Finchetter steps out of the batter's box, rub his hands together, move back in a hitting position. Elidon third, Mace on second, two out six, sending five to two, American League. Here's the playoff pitch. Ed Waitress swings and files it off of the left of the plate out of play into the lower stands, and the count holds it three and two. Richie Ashvin, lead off man's on deck. Oh, Mr. Rain, Mr. Rain, please. Don't come this way. Hold off, hold off, or at least another hour or so. Now the payoff pitch. Waitress takes high ball four, and the National League got him loaded.

That is the... McDonz is putting value back on the menu. Whether you're craving a big mac, McNuggets are sausage egg, and cheese McGriddle's, make it a meal, and save. Your favorite is now your wallet's favorite, too. Extra value meals are back. Sun rises, prices fall. Get a sausage McMuffin with egg, or sausage egg and cheese McGriddle, small hot coffee and hash frowns for just fixed stars. Price and participation may vary, promotion pricing may be lower than meal pricing. Toyota's easy choice sales event is on. Whether you're looking for the performance of the camera, the versatility of Rav4, the efficiency of a Corolla, or all electric driving in the BZ. There's a Toyota that's just right for you. And with great deals across the lineup, now's the time to find yours. But hurry, these deals won't last long. Toyota's easy choice sales event ends soon. We make it easy. Toyota, let's go places.

The first base on balls given up by Big Rashi. And the second pass issued by American League Pictures, Masterson Walk 1 and his three innings. You got Elliott on third, Macy on second. Any weight goes on first base, two out, six winning, five to two American League. And here's Richie Ashwin, who's had two out of three, two singles, spline to left, and his other appearance on the pitch. Ashwin takes strike call to fastball, pulled over their letter high. Big Rashi is a big hit. He's pulled over their letter high. Big Rashi in a bit of a jam, goes to the rosembang, gives a little touch. Activity in both both ends, lemon, and Coleman warming up in the American League both ends, black hole for the National League. Base is loaded, rain is on its way to pitch. High outside, almost a wild pitch. Birdie's have a set to go far off to his left, Richie way over, he said to keep that from being a wild pitch. Birdie calls time, and walks out toward the mound to try and settle Big Rashi down. And Mary Boy, who was born in West Springfield, Massachusetts, and now lives at Canisus Lake, New York.

Often referred to as the Springfield Rival. On the mound with a count, one ball, one strike, two outs, bases loaded, top of the sixth inning, American League leading five to two, with the National League having the bases loaded and two down, and the pitch. Swing on and foul back to the screen, strike two. The wind is blowing in a terrific clip. Over toward left field. And blowing in toward the plate now as it quarters around. Elianon third, Macy on second, wait this on first, two outs, six to the ninth, one ball, two strikes, two outs. Richie ash from the batter, left hand hitter, Big Rashi into the wind up, here's the pitch. And it's in there for cold strike three, beautiful curveball, and Big Rashi pitches himself out of the jam. Go for the National League, no run, two hits. No American League arisen, three big men left on for the National League in the score. At the end of five and a half innings remains the American League five, the National League two.

as they fire that ball into the plate and his warm-up pitches, is you will blackle the sensational light-handed of the Cincinnati Red, the buggy whip. Tommy Holmes has gone into right field replacing the slaughter, Holmes of the Boston Brave. Ashburn is still in center, stand mutual still and left. Bob Belly is at third, Buddy Kerr short, red Shane Dean's second, Johnny Meyers first. Shane Dean's and Meyers have been in there ever since the game started. Bill Macy doing the catching and you will blackle coming on to do the pitching. As we go into the last half of the sixth inning, Johnny Sain came into the fourth inning with one out, worked the fifth. So he worked one in two-thirds earnings. Kenny Keltner leads off for the American League last half of the sixth inning, right hand ban. The first pitch is high, ball one.

Keltner walked in the second inning and single left in the fourth. It's sundering him the distance out back of right field. Five to two American League, last half of the sixth inning, you will blackle, side-arms him. It's one on it lined off the right field, viciously. Going back his home, he makes the catch knee high as the ball sank on him as he went back on it. And there's one way for the American League in the last half of the sixth. Coming up now is George McQuinn, who's been in there for first place throughout the contest. McQuinn fly to center and single to center in his two previous appearances. You will blackle on the hill, carrying in his third all-star game throws. A curve ball that's one on, looked over the head, a buddy car out into short left center and he dropped in there for a base hit in front of Stan Mutiel, who gave it a good try. And McQuinn is on with his second hit in succession. A blue single to left center. And for George McQuinn, it's his third all-star game. Hit he had one out of eight until the start of today's all-star classic.

It's being McQuinn's third appearance and one of these mid-summer dream games. That's the fifth American League hit of the afternoon, the first off blackle and his birdie teppets. Peppery backstop for the Boston Red Sox, a right-hand hitter who replaced Buddy Rose R back in the plate. There goes McQuinn, hit and runs on the pitch, a swing on a miss, a throw down the curve. Put the tag on McQuinn and he's out and then the decision has changed by Bill Stewart. And he says he's safe and Buddy Cair is arguing a Bill Stewart. The first disturbance of that time in the ball game. Buddy Cair can't contain himself as he goes after Bill Stewart. Bill Stewart keeps walking away from him and the New York Giants fighting shortstop is right after the diminutive umpire. Evidence Lee, Buddy Cair must have missed the tag. And Buddy is still arguing with Bill Stewart. It scored as a stolen base. The hit and run was on.

The pitch was way outside. I don't think it was a pitch out. Teppets' swing is the ball anyway. The throw down was in time but somehow other McQuinn got around the tag to stolen base. The count on Teppets is one strike. One away, last to the sixth inning. Blackwell has the strike side arms, a hitter and it's way outside. For the ball, one in one. I'll tell you one thing. If I were a right-hand hitter, I'd hate to stand against that blackwell. He's all arms and legs, so think loose, Smith. Cincinnati's four try to describe Blackwell. Appearing to a batter, when he delivers that ball to a batter, appearing to the batter, it's if his man falling down out of a clump of trees. The tall right-hander throws, Cairb ball, dot side, ball two, two in one. Side arm sinker specialist. Mixed it up with a good fastball, Cairb. Two balls, one strike to come on, Bertie Teppets. George McQuinn on second base, one out, last half of the sixth inning. The American League 5th and National League 2. Stand mutual, homeward in the first inning with one on, to give the National League a temporary two-nothing lead.

Now you old Blackwell delivers, fastball swung on him. Missed Teppets went all the way around, the count is two-two. The off the ill-to-plane Teppets just about straight away. Perhaps the step toward left and center and left straight away in right, a lot of room and right center, Bob Elliott laying halfway back at third about four feet off the line. Buddy Cairn, normal short in the step. Red chain deans, over in your second. Johnny Mines about ten feet off the first base line in back. McQuinn leads away from second, you old Blackwell ready, the stretcher. Look back at second. Here's the pitch to Teppets. He takes high for ball three. So we have full count on Bertie three and two. Beans were in up for our back to plate now. Joe Paparolla at first base, those jured at second, Johnny Barry at third, Barry on fire back to the plate. The first one half innings. Ready for that pay off pitch to Bertie Teppets. One down McQuinn leads off second. Here it is. It's swung on and Bruce Fowell back to first. Johnny Mines digs after the ball, but he can't get it. It's out of play in the lower stands. So the right is the National League dugout, which is located back to first base.

And now just popping his head out of the American League dugout is one of the greatest ball players you've ever seen. He's been injured and yet he appeared here in a uniform today. Tepp Williams. He's got a bat in his hands and Tepp can't sit on a bench and be either. He's got to be doing something. He's got a bat in his hands and that's what he likes to have when he's round the ballpark. All right, Bertie Teppets is waiting that pay off pitch once again. Here it is. It strikes great call. A side arm, fastball, and outside. Pulling in Bertie Teppets gets mad at Beans Reardon. He got red in the face and hollered at Beans and Beans took his mask off and went right back at Bertie and they're standing there face to face at home plate. And our Bertie is leaving. And so the second disturbance between the players and the outfires. And I want you to know that proves that these two ball clubs are out for business. And Tepp Williams is going to use that bat, ladies and gentlemen. He comes out of the dugout and he's going to pinch hit. He's going to pinch hit for a big rashi.

Bertie Teppets strikes out and Tepp Williams, listen to the roar. Tepp Williams who pulled a rib cartilage a few days ago and hasn't been able to play for the Boston Red Sox. Never let us come on to St. Louis as in a uniform and is up there to pinch hit with him a flint on second. You will black hole pitching. Tepp Williams taking outside ball one and gets the picture one of the greatest right hand pitchers in baseball. One of the greatest hitters in baseball left or right up there at the plate in this instance. The left hand hitter, Tepp Williams, the kid. The stretch by black hole. Look back at second. Here's the pitch to Tepp. Williams takes a curve inside ball two. And Tepp would certainly enough to be able to take his full cut. We watched him in batting practice. He wasn't taking that real Williams cut at the ball. But you know he's got so much power. He can take a half swing in someone over the wall.

Two balls no strikes to count on. Williams two outs, last half to six, then he finds the two favor the American League. The outpeekin' around toward right. Buddy car is playing directly in back of second base as the shift is on. The stretch to pitch. Williams accidentally fowls one off of the right of the plate, a slow curve. He tried to check he was ready to step into the pitch. He saw a slow curve coming up there and he tried to check he swing but the ball hit the handle of the bat and skittered file off of the right of the plate. The national league version of the shift has Buddy carer, the short stop playing directly in back of second base. Most times the short stop will play a normal second with your second base from over toward first to your first base. Right on top of the first base line. Sheen Deenst is one over toward first. My eyes is on the line. Blackboard ready. Here's the delivery. Carv ball is outside for ball three. Three and one. Bob Elliott, the third base. One's laying up.

So it's a 3-1 count on Williams. The answer look at Chuck Dressen coaching a third for any time. It might be Sunday's way and you can be sure that Buggy Harris is go ahead, front and hit it if you like it. So blackpool is ready. The Buggy whip. Here's a 3-1 pitch. Ted Williams takes high outside ball four and Ted scolds. Some of the fans indicate they're displace your over Williams' inability to swing at one. But Ted takes a walk down to first place and now, Navy St. Louisins applaud the appearance of one of their own St. Louis Brownies, Al Zorilla. And here is Hal Newhouser going down to run for Ted Williams. Hal Newhouser, great left-hand pitcher of the Detroit Tigers. Makes his appearance in the ballgame as a runner for Ted Williams.

We're in the last half of the six-running ladies and gentlemen with a score. The American League 5, the National League 2, they're two outs from a quins on second. Newhouser running for Williams is on first. The batter is Al Zorilla, left-hand hitter. Your blackpool has the stretch to pitch. Zorilla swings and sends a bounding ball out to shame these two outs. He's up with it over the curve for the fourth out on Newhouser. And that is all for the American League in the last half of the six. No runs, one hit, no errors, two men left on, and the score at the end of six-running, the American League 5, the National League 2. And right now, let's pause for station identification. This is the world's largest nut word, the Mutable Broadcasting System. Ladies and gentlemen, speaking to you once again from Sportsman Spark in St. Louis, the appearance of Ted Williams gives occasion to out of the thoughts of the baseball commissioner,

commissioner AB Chandler, who authorized us to make this statement to you, baseball fans of America. He said that almost without exception, every man who was selected by you fans and by the managers is here today in uniform despite injuries or whatever the situation may be. And he wants to assure you that in the future, the major league ball players will continue to keep faith to the baseball fans of America and that in the future, all men who are selected will be here in uniform if it's physically possible for them to be here. Rashi worked three innings, gave up three hits, no runs, and as the score now stands, as the situation now stands, Rashi may be credited with the victory. Walt Masterson went the first three innings, giving up a home run to stand mutual when the first inning was won on. Here's the pitch, Shane Dean Strings, golfer, grounder out towards second, Bobby Doer scoops it up, throws over to McQuinn in time, and there's one away, as the ball almost played a dirty trick on Bobby by taking a bad hop,

but Bobby watched it and played it perfectly to retire Shane Dean for the first out in the top of the seven. And here is Stan Newcio who hit a home run on the first inning with one off, Richie Ashburn led off and got himself an infield hit. Newcio singled in the third, struck out on the fifth. Right-handed Joe Coleman comes in with an overhand curve ball that zips over that inside corner for a call strike. Joe Coleman of the Philadelphia athletics. 6'293' comes in with fastball that's outside, 1'1. Coleman, 25-year-old boy, is from Waldington, Massachusetts, and we have quite a number of new Englanders in the ball game today for both teams. Out the around toward right, here's your delivery. It's a curve inside, round the knees, ball two, 2'1, 1'7'0, Johnny Myers is on deck, Stan Newcio is at the plate, and Ralph Conner is throwing out the bullpen. He may see some action shortly. Here's your pitch, Newcio takes outside ball three, 3'1.

Joe Coleman, you know, is the boy that was discovered by Father Gilbert who discovered they brewed. Now the pitch to Stan, inside ball four, and one of the great hitters in baseball gets to base on balls here in the seven-sunning. And coming to bat is Johnny Myers of the New York Giants, who's been in the ball game all the way as has mutual. Myers just had one out of three, first inning single, hit into a fourth play in the third inning, and grounded out the second in the fifth. Coleman delivers, pitch to ten inside for ball one. For the American League, you've got Tommy Henry in left field, two divers. In center, they've been in all the way. Al Zarella and Wright, having replaced Pat Mullin. Kenny Kellner is at third, he's been in there all the way. Junior Stevens is short, replaced Pedro, dorks second, replaced Gordon. McQuinn is first in there all the way. The pitch, Myers, holds up, if you start to swing, at a curb, it's came inside for ball two.

Bernie Teppits is back to the place for the American League, having relieved Buddy Rose R. Joe Coleman, on the hill from the American League, having replaced Big Rashi. Deliver to Myers, who takes a fastball over at the knees. Strike one call, turn around the column, Big John. Eddie Dyer, managed with a card, no scorching at third, Mel Ott, managed with the New York Giants, scorching at first. McQuinn, not holding against mutual, to step in behind him. Coleman ready, delivers, Myers takes strike two call over the inside corner, let her hide. Big John steps out, and looks around at Beansridden, to question the decision. As Bernie Teppits throw back to Coleman, got away from him, rolled out toward second, and Doran Stevens alerts and verge to keep the ball from going in the center, no advance. Two balls to strike one out, National League fans starting at rhythmical pause, calling for rally. Joe Coleman ready, delivers, Johnny Myers swings and grounds it, foul off the line of the plate. There's Thunder in the distance, and we hope that the wind will blow the storm away.

We're in the seventh inning with a score. The American League 5, the National League 2. National League got off to two nothing leads in the first inning. American League got one on the second, one on the third, and three in the fourth to go ahead, five to two. One down, New Zealand first, Myers the batter, the count two two, Coleman delivers, John Swington, he misses, strike three, and a slow curve. We've noticed that the American League pitchers have been slowing up on these sluggers, and the right spot when they've had the count in the right spot. And now here is Tommy Holmes, who replaced Ena Slotter in right field. Tommy Holmes, a Brooklyn boy playing with the Boston Braves, who at one time belonged to the New York Yankees, hitting 3.30 on the season, a left hand batter. A nice lad. Stuck top of the batter's box, just as Joe Coleman's ready to work. Time call. That's out of the batter's box. Over the inside corner for a call strike.

Seated in the commissioner's box to the right of home plate, and see four prick press in the National League. Taylor Spink published his sporting use of the commissioner in his entire unturage. Coleman all set, here's the pitch. Swing on and fouled off the left of the plate over the visiting, or rather the American League dug out, which is the home team in this game, back of third base. This is Tommy Holmes, first appearance, and an all star game. Two strikes on him. Two outs, top half the seventh inning, five to two, February the American League. Stand new, shall on first base. Joe Coleman, a member of those amazing Philadelphia athletics during the pitching now. Having just come on and this ending throws. The pitch is swung on top down to the mound, taking to one hop by Coleman, throws over to McQueen, Holmes is out, and that's off of the National League. In the top half the seventh inning, no runs, no hits, no American League errors, one left on for the National League, a total of nine they've stranded,

and at the end of six and a half endings, the score, American League five, National League two. You know, all time our savers next to him, possible to hit a ball past Jimmy Collins, the greatest of all third baseman. Yes, and going to the impossible, you can't name another shaving instrument that compares with a modern Gillette one piece razor.

For a modern shaving comfort and convenience, get the improved Gillette super speed razor with ten blade Gillette dispenser, a big dollar fifty value for only a dollar.

Coming into the last half of the seventh inning, changes in the National League lineup, replacing Al Shanday's second base as Bill Rigny of the New York Giants. Stan Mewsial has moved over to center field and Ralph Keiner of the Pittsburgh Pirates has taken over and left field. So make those changes if you will, put Mewsial in Richie Ashburn's Placen Center and put Ralph Keiner in left field. Tommy Henry leading off last of the seventh, you will blackwell throw as it curved, it's outside for ball one. Put Bill Rigny in there at second base in place of red shandays. Right hand of you will back well delivers. Tommy Henry takes right in there for a call strike fastball zipped over there about letter high. So five two ball game, favorite of the American League last half of the seventh inning. Henry's been in the all all the way, struck out twice, popped out to short once. Blackwell throws, fastball is swung on, drilled, fouled out on the left field line and out of place, it goes into the stands. One ball two strikes the count on Tommy, boy from Maslow, no higher.

Considered by many, to be one of the most underrated baseball players in the major leagues. One ball two strikes the count. Blackwell hasn't looked over to the national league dugout, evidently Leo Deroish, he must have hollered at him to throw a certain kind of a pitch. But anyway, here comes and it's high, ball two, two to the count. This is Henry's third all star game. He came in today's classic with one out of five. Has mid today in three appearances. Two balls, two strikes. Your Blackwell delivers. Kerbal's swung on and fouled off again back a third base into the upper deck. Count holds it to two. It's fall in Jeep country and during the driving to fall sales event, get a great deal on four by fours that refuse to be contained. Like Jeep Wrangler, confidence built into every drive with the most awarded SUV ever, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and freedom that can't be denied, with the open air freedom in Jeep Gladiator. After 85 years, it's no surprise that Jeep became America's SUV brand.

Get a great deal during the Jeep driving to fall sales event. Jeep is one more awards over its lifetime than any other SUV brand, Jeep and the Jeep Grille Registered Trademarks of FCAUS LLC. We are indebted for the official scoring on doubtful plays to Mr. Ed Burns, Bob Burns and Sid Keener of the fourth estate. Now the two two pitch on its way. Tommy Hendrick swings and fows another one off the left of the plate into the upper deck. As the thunder breaks loose with a nominal warning, and we hope that's all it will be, is just a warning. We'll be nice and gentle and quiet. If you just let the rain hold off for a little while longer. 5-2, American League last the seventh. Again, the pitch to Henry. Tommy takes outside basketball ball three, and the string is run out to three and two. Blackwell is one-six and lost five this year. A throw arm took charge of him shortly after the season got underway,

and he has not been able to establish the sensational record this year that he did last year. Now the payoff pitch to Tommy Hendrick. Swung on, popped up in the air, down the left field line, going foul and out of play into the lower stands. As Ralph kinder started digging over four. Bob Elliott and Buddy Carr both started to move as they saw what's fouled and held up. Elliott third, Carr short, Rigny second, Mise first, Macy catching, kinder left, Newshield center, Holmes right, Blackwell pitching to Tommy Hendrick and the three two delivery. Fastball is inside ball four and Hendrick gets the base on balls to lead off for the American League in the last half of the seventh inning. That is the sixth base on balls given up by National League pitchers today. And here is Junior Stevens coming to bat. Burns Stevens, who replaced, Muba George Short,

Stevens struck out in the fifth inning in his first time at bat today. Blackwell ready, side arm Stevens and the pitches outside ball one. One ball no strikes. Stevens has been a great help for those red socks, particularly in the last couple of weeks. He's really been banging the ball. Takes a pitch inside now for ball two. He's been challenging Ted Williams and Joe Demandjo for runs, batted in honors in the American League and home run honors as well. Two balls no strikes to count. Outfield toward left, Stevens is full hitter. Nobody out, Hendrick on first. Johnny May is holding against him. Blackwell taking his time, looks in and gets the sign from Phil Macy. Bundering again. Hendrick leads off first, Blackwell ready. I look around, here's your pitch.

Swung on, hit in the hole between third and short, out in the left field for the base hit. Kindred takes the ball on the half-phrose toward third, holding Hendrick at second base. Gov. Stevens singles the left field to send Hendrick down to second. And there's renewed activity now in the nationally bow pen. Looks like Elmer Rittle. Elmer Rittle of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who first gained fame as a member of the Cincinnati Reds. He's beginning to walk the bow pen and we see a flash of lightning off back of right field. And there's the thunder that follows. And here's Bobby Dore at the plate with runners on first and second. The stretch by Blackwell. Here's the pitch. Bobby shortens up, misses an attempted blowdown to Buddy Kerr and Hendrick is. Take the second base as the tag was put on and he's slid down underneath it. Bill Stewart called it. Bobby Dore missed an attempted blow. The runners were way off their respective bases ready to move. Bill makes the cut loose for the beautiful throwdown on the bag, which Buddy Kerr came over and took on the run.

Put the tag on Hendrick sliding in, but Hendrick beat the tag. Elie is in close at third. My is in close at first to look for the bunch. Elie will try to anchor at third in the event. Blackwell or My is can handle the bunch or Macy the catcher. Now the pitch is bunny popped up in the air. My is comes in fast grabs it. In the air for the out and the runners alert, streak back to their respective bases one away. The Bobby Dore attempting to sacrifice pops out to Johnny My is halfway between home plate and first base. And now coming to bad as who debers has been in the all the way that he's tried to Tiger Out Theater in a home run in the second inning for the first American league run. Popped to short in the fourth and looked to the third strike in the fifth inning. That's our might handed. Five to two American league last the seventh. One out runners on first and second. You will back well delivers who debers swings and fouls of curveball back of first base out of play against the upper deck steel girder. Sometimes known as a facade.

One strike count. One out. Evers right hand hit to the bottom of the outfield toward left. Henry is on second. Burn Stevens on first infield shaded around toward third with bomb out. He's laying halfway back and third in about three four feet off the line. Blackwell all set looks back at second and then steps off. However, bluffs are throw and bluffs Henry back towards second. Nobody was over to take the throw in any event. Once again, we're ready to stretch Bob back well runners dance away. Here's a crossfire that's outside ball one to who debers one ball one strike. A young man who came to the Tigers counted as a potential great and who was thine it for a couple of years by injuries. So far this season he's doing nicely. Thank you. Blackwell throws curve that's swung on and missed strike two. I'm telling you that side arm stuff of back rolls is murder on the right hand hitter. One ball two strikes the count.

Who debers the batter? Tommy Henry eases off second base. Stevens off first. Donnie Mies not holding against Stevens of course. He's laying back deep at first about ten feet off the line. Blackwell again prepares to work. Takes the stretch. Looks back at second base. Here's the one two pitch high outside the ball bounces out of middle of Macy no advance. And the count becomes two two. Jimmy Britt is seen. You'll black will work many of all game. It looks awful rough even from radio broadcasting booth doesn't he Jim? I wouldn't want to stand up there with a bat that short now. Two balls two strikes one out. Blackwell sets once again looks back at second here's his pitch. Swung on and fouled off back of first out of play going into the lower stands as another clap of thunder bursts overhead.

A short sleeve crowd. And they have long since gathered their belongings preparing to make a mad dash to the nearest shelter in the eventfully almost looking clouds overhead. Should let their wrath down upon those have been kind enough to come out to see this all star game. You'll black will throws pitches hung on file tip and get away from fill and the count holds it to two. It's a five two ball game ladies and gentlemen last half of the seven funding. Favorite the American League the broadcast coming to read the best wishes of the Tibet safety racer company. From sportsman spark in St. Louis. You'll black will. Fourth pitcher used by the National League today on the hill pitching to who delivers with Tommy Henrik who walked on second base and burned Steven's who singled on first and there's one out. Now the two two pitch swung on foul off again to the right of the plate as he was keeps trying to get hold of it.

Balls out of play. Phil Macy gets a new ball from plate on par of beans ridden toss it out to blackwell. Meantime Elmer it'll continue to work in the bullpen for the National League. Bickel checks with Macy for the sign. Henrik's about to wear out the baseline leading off second and Steven's from first. Here's your pitch. Best ball swung on hit down the right field line and it goes foul into the National League bullpen. That's an indication in itself of how speedy blackwell is when a full hitter like who delivers continually hits him the right field. Both foul shows it's tough to get around on blackwell's fast up. Right hander looks in and got that sign from Macy and Rick again leads off second. Burn Stevens takes his lead off first.

The tall right hander has the stretch. Here's the pitch. Swung on foul off again off to the right of the plate. Ball bounces back down into the stand from off the roof. And of course as we indicated to you earlier, Commissioner Chandler said that no matter how dark it might become if the ball game should be tied up, we'll turn on the lights and keep going until the game reaches a conclusion. Of course it's difficult to do very much about the rain. If the rain comes down and I'm afraid we shouldn't be able to help out that situation. Two balls, two strikes one out, runners on first and second. You go back already. Here's his pitch. It's swung on by Evers popped up into the air at about the mound and with one out we're looking for the infield flyer rule to be called it is. But Rickney comes in to make the catch up the mound making the catch that rabbit marimba used to make around the midsection. Then that ball popped into his glove as he holds his glove just about belt high.

But the batter was automatically out anyway. One of the rule which says was runners on first and second or first, second and third less than two out if a ball is popped into the air, which in the judgment of the amplifier can be easily handled by an infield with the batter is automatically out. The runners move with their own risk. So Evers pops two Rickney at the mound and here's Kenny Kelpner who walks into the left and fly to right. Two men down. Here's the pitch the right hand batter. He swings and sends a drive out the left way. A Ralph counter backing up getting under it and he takes it for the out. So once again you will black hole pitches himself out of a potential jam. No runs for the American League. One hit. No errors for the National League. Two men left on for the American League. A total of seven that they had stranded and the score at the end of seven innings remains the American League five, the National League two. And incidentally if you are sticklers for tradition and statistics, never has a National League entry ever one. An all-star game when it has been the visiting team.

That's where the money goes for ball players who have found their luck going against them after they have retired to active play.

All right we're ready now to move into the first half of the eighth inning. The American League out in front by a five to two score and here is Bob Elliott coming up for the National League. Right hand batter Joe Coleman of the athletics throws fastball high inside ball one. One ball no strikes at the end of the game. Franz Locke will be on hand to give you a recapitulation of what occurred during the course of the game if you missed any of it. It's over the outside corner for a tall strike and Elliott stepped out of the bear's box. Little bit angry about it and beans ridden is looking away from him as the fans have something to say. One ball one strike. Joe Coleman ready. Right hander throws Elliott swings and sends a long drive deep to right field Al Zarella backs up near the wall and makes the catch for the out of that ball taking off as it left the bat looked as if it might go deeper than it did and then sank which cut down the distance of the drive.

So Elliott lines to Al Zarella in right center. First half of the eighth inning will the score the American League five the National League two stand mutuals first inning home or one aboard gave the National League a temporary two nothing lead. Two deepers in a home run the second to make it to one the American League on another in the third and three in the fourth the lead five to. There's a pitch swung on by Phil Macy had high into the air fouled down the right field line George McQuinn giving chase to it. Makes the catch some forty five fifty feet down the line fast first base and in foul territory to up into away quickly for the National League in the eighth inning and here comes buddy curve the New York Giants on native of New York another in the long line of native New Yorkers who have reached major league fame including people like the late Luke Gary and Joe judge and Hank Greenberg who incidentally is here today buddy curve right hand batter swings and falls it off behind the plate strike one buddy curve replaced he we

Coleman asks for a new ball birdie tevets turns around and gets it from being driven. I feel playing buddy step toward left Coleman working rapidly delivers pitches but it but fouled off to the left of the plate. Buddy car who's often running has to come back trying to get on anyway could perhaps start something and the count is one in two on the national league shortstop. Now your delivery is outside ball to to to the count. Two ball two strikes two outs eight funding five to two American League.

Coleman getting assigned from birdie tevets. Leans forward into the lineup around coming to the right arm the pitch curve ball just outside for ball three Coleman started to take that walk off the mound throw the dugout to be in the rhythm said no ball three. So we have a full count on buddy curve with two outs here in the eight and the pay off pitch is strike three called curve ball. I've got the outside corner as buddy started to take a walk he stops at home plate to argue with beans ridden but the no avail. No runs for the national league no hits. No errors for the American League nobody left on for the national league and at the end of seven and a half running to score American League five national league two.

Now the one one pitch to McQuinn back him away again. That's for the curve ball and the count is two and one high inside pitch. Outfield playing toward right in center and right straight away and left the big hole in left center. Here's your pitch McQuinn swings and sends a ground ball down the first baseline. Johnny Myers eats it up a race to the bag. Myers wins it McQuinn is out and there's one away in the last half of the eighth inning for the American League and out birdie tebots throws to the plate. You'll black will is one of the few side arm sinkers specialists right handers who is almost equally as tough on left hand hitters as he is on the right hand hitter. He pitches not a birdie tebots outside ball one. You see black will is a very tall fellow and he takes a step out toward that third base line and when the ball comes in over the plate looks as if it's coming in from third base.

Now the pitch just misses the outside corner for ball two. Black will is native of California lives in San Bima's California right now is born in Fresno. The two nothing delivery outside ball three three balls no strikes. Bring nothing the count on birdie tebots. Black will's father is out here today to watch his son in action. We had the pleasure of meeting him as folks stirred around about St. Louis last evening. All agonig about the all star game. Now the pitch is over the inside corner for call strike tebots start take a walk and the injured and outstrike perhaps you may have heard it in the background over these microphone. And of course that's third some excitement from the fans. Five to two American League last half the eighth inning one out of any on the three one pitch to tebots.

Outside ball four and birdie walks. That's the seventh base on balls issued by National League Pictures today and black will walks in toward the plate to argue with Beans Ridden. Not too VM and Laybutt is a little bit irked. And he starts back toward the mound and stops and turns around howler something else back to Beans. To all intents and purposes he's merely saying as Jim Britt and I often hear the ball players talking merely asking Beans you to give him a break on the corner. All right here's Joe Coleman up there to hit for himself right hander. Birdie tebots on first one out last the eighth inning five to American League. You're back already to work the stretch here's the pitch. Coleman Bunsen fows it off to the right of the plate. Strike one.

It was quite a nice gesture on the part of the baseball commissioner to allow Burke Shotton to throw out the first ball today. Burke Shotton who directed the book them dodges through the 1947 National League coming. Everybody seemed very pleased with it. Now the pitch to Coleman he takes a fastball low ball one one and one. Burke Shotton was the guest of the National League after game today. One ball one strike one out tebots leaves off first. Back will pitching to Coleman here it is Coleman Bunsen pops it in the air but Black will can't get to get to buy him but mine is backing up picks it up throws to Rigny covering first in time for the out on Coleman it was a little low top about three feet off the ground. Black will dashed in reach down for it but the ball hit in front of his glove bounded by him but mine is back him up near the mound and tossed over to Rigny covering first for the out on Coleman it's a sacrifice.

Moving tebots down the second and with two down here is Al Zarella left hand batter having a great year with the St. Louis Brown's. Bike will ready to work here's his pitch. Swung on and missed strike one a sweeping curve ball that had Zarella fooled all the way. The National League started bracket came on with Schmitz who paired worst of all today. Schmitz was relieved by Sain and Black will in turn take over for Sainz. Now the pitch. Swung on hit up into the air out in the center field going back for to stand mutual. He's under it makes the catch in deep center for the third out of the inning. No runs for the American League. No hits. No National League air is one left on for the Americans. A total of eight to eight stranded. The National League has stranded nine men during the course of the ball game and we're all set to move into the top half of the lengthening with the American League leading five to two.

Jeep Grill Rift your trademark CFC AUS LLC. If we indicated to your ladies and gentlemen, France Locks will be on at the conclusion of this game to give you a recapitulation on how the runs were scored. So we can't bother you with those details at the present time. They'll be given to you very shortly. At the moment we pause for station identification. This is the mutual broadcasting system. Going into the top half of the ninth inning, the National League trailing by three runs.

It's five to two American League. And we're going to have a pinch hitter for a U.O. Blackwell. Bobby Thompson as we check of the New York Giants is going to come up to back for Blackwell. He will be followed by Ralph Keiner. And then Bill Rigny is scheduled to follow. So the National League comes up in the ninth inning trailing by the two. Bobby Thompson making his first appearance in an all-star ball game. Right hand batter Joe Coleman into the wind up throws. Thompson takes a curve outside to ball one.

Bobby's one of the few major league ball players that was born in a foreign country. He swings and falls it off onto the screen strike one. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland, but now resides in Staten Island, New York. Of course he came over here when he was quite young and learned the American game and learned it well. The right hand hitter swings and falls it off strike two. Bill Marshall in the athletics is a Canadian to give you another example. Here's the pitch over the head of Bobby Thompson ball two. Elmer Valor over the Philadelphia A's was born in rhythmic Czechoslovakia to add another as we quickly search our memory. Two balls two strikes the count. On Bobby Thompson pinch hitting for U.O. Blackwell, ninth inning five to two American League.

And here comes the rain and the folks are scattering out of the boxes. Coleman delivers. Swung on in missed by Bobby Thompson strike three and there's one out of the ninth inning. Coming to band is Ralph Keiner. And the rain kind of up the holdoff till the ninth inning here with one out begins to come down. That sportsman's park in St. Louis and Ralph Keiner steps to the plate for the first time in the ball game. Joe Coleman's into the wind up. Here's the pitch. Keiner swings in center ground ball wide of third. Keiner in front of Steven's up with it over to McQuinn in time for out number two. So there are two away from the national league in the ninth inning. And here's Bill Rigney of the New York Giants coming to bat with a score five to two in favor of the American League. And the rain is beginning to come down and perhaps our prayerful remarks over the past few innings asking the rain to stay away where he did. At least up into this point with two outs on the top of the ninth inning with Joe Coleman into the wind up pitching to the right hand better and it's high inside for ball one.

One ball no strikes. Five to two American League ninth inning. Joe Coleman delivers. Pitch is low ball two two balls no strikes and the rain is really beginning to pour down hard. And the empires are hopeful to a degree the game will be able to be concluded in its entirety before the range pour down too hard. There are two outs here in the ninth inning. Two balls no strikes on Rigney. The rain pouring and the pitch is inside for ball three. Three balls no strikes. And ladies and gentlemen with everybody scattering out of the field boxes remaining and taking his soaking his commissioner channel. The pitch is high ball for Rigney walks. Commissioner canner refuses to budge out of his seat along with his two boys ban and Sam and he's sitting right out there in it. Here's something much being I'm a commissioner of baseball. Baseball is my game and I'm going to stick with it. Rain and all rain. Here's Dan Mircio.

That's a much handed. And the pitch. Mircio takes in there for a call strike. Rigney got a base on balls two out ninth inning. Five to two. Favorite American League. The stretch by Coleman pitching the Mircio. A left hand batter takes outside now for ball one one and one. Stan hit a whole month in the first inning single to center in the third. Scruck out in the fifth and walked into the set. Roman all set again. Texas runner. Here's the pitch. Mircio drinks and sends a ground ball out to Bobby. They were up with it. There's a throw over the George McQuinn in time for the out end. The ball game is over and the American League defeats the national league by score of five to two to become victorious for the 11th time and 15 games. And so ladies and gentlemen we come to the end of this 15th annual all star classic brought to you with the best wishes and compliments of the Gillette safety razor coupling in another of its cavalcade of sport. We hope that you enjoy the

play by play description of this game and it was a real pleasure to once again have been associated with Jim Britt who brought you the first four and a half innings and Franz Locke who will give you the summary and this is Mel Allen thanking you very much for tuning us in this afternoon and we hope to see you again soon and now here is Franz Locke. Thank you very much Mel and first I want to compliment you and Jim Britt I'm doing a splendid job here this afternoon and giving the fans a play by play the script into this game. A little rundown on actually what happened and how it happened the totals on the game for the national league show two run bait hits no errors for the American League five runs six hits and no errors the national being two up on hits but they were a little bit down on run they started off by registering two runs in the very first inning the national league incidentally had a total of 10 men left on base while the American League had a total of eight men Johnny Smith who was in there for the Chicago

Cubs was charged with a loss this afternoon and Vic Rache who went in to relieve Masterson after Masters and went out of the ball game was the winning pitcher and incidentally that makes the sixth time that a New York Yankee pitcher has been the winning pitcher in the all-star classic. Last year it was shade of the New York Yankees and then in 1942 it was Spud Chandler and Gomez had three of them to his credit in 1933 again in 1935 and in 1937 so if the Yankees really have a monopoly on the winning pitchers in the all-star game the game started off in the first inning with Masterson on the mound for the Washington Senators and it looked like the national league was really going to go to town when Richie Ashburn smashed one down through the box, Joe Gordon made a great stop over back of second base but his throw was a little bit high and it was an in-field hit for Ashburn and then Shane Dees while Shane Dees was batting Ashburn moved

down to second base getting credit for a stolen base and then Shane Dees grounded out unassisted with Ashburn moving over to third and then Stan Musil stepped up to the plate and after having the count two strikes on one ball he hit one on top of the right center field provision for a home run to put the national league out in the lead and that's the only runs that they scored for the day. Gani Mayas followed up with a single and then Inus slaughter walked but they couldn't produce any more hits there in the first inning to get any more runs. Adi American League came up with our first run on the second inning after one away when Hootiever sent a line drive into the left field seat. The American leagueers came back to tie the ball game in the last half of the third without the assistance of a hit. Two walks on a double steal resulted in the damage there and that inning. Rick Rache to happen to be the first batter up walked and then Pat Mullin also walked on four straight pitches then Hendrick struck out was called out on strikes and while he

was batting they worked the double steal on the third strike with Rache moving over to third and Mullin down to second base and then Lou Bedroll son of fly ball out to slaughter in right field and they runner scored with the run that tied up the ball game. Then their final three runs came in the fourth inning after one away on a neat play by Peewee Reed who took care of a fly ball by Hootiever who looked like it was going to fall in there for Texas Lager and then two singles a walk and another single and that single incidentally was by the pitcher Rache drove in two of the runs and had one scored on an outfield fly and that produced the margin of the scoring for the afternoon. The rest of the way out in the ball game it was an even struggle you might say. All old black well the whip who was on there was in a jam a couple times he still managed to come out without any damage so this is a 15th annual all star classic the American League has now won 11 the national league
