00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000
the 1934 baseball All-Star game was played at the Polo Grounds in New York City.
3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:17,000
It was actually the second year that the All-Star game was played, but it's the first game in which an audio recording still exists.
4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:25,000
the game featured an unbelievable 28 future Hall of Famers, and is well known among baseball historians for the performance of starting pitcher Carl Hubbell.
5
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Be sure to listen closely to the first inning when Hubbell strikes out five of the game's best hitters in succession.
6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Hall of Famers Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmy Fox, Al Simmons, and Joe Cronin.
7
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,000

Enjoy the game.
10
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Today we're out at the Polo Grounds, that historic old home of the New York Giants nestled in the Lee of Pugensbluff on the island of Manhattan.
11
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:05,000
the occasion, of course, is the playing of the second annual All-Star baseball game between the outstanding performers of the National and the American Leagues.
12
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,000
And boy, what an aggregation of Paul's daughters are wandering around there, down there on that field right now.
13
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000
the pick of the world, no question about that.
14
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:29,000
the crowd is tremendous, the stands are packed all the way around. If you don't know the Polo Grounds, I'll just tell you quickly that it is a double-deck affair running about four-fifths to five-sixths of the way around the entire enclosure.
15
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:35,000
There is only a small part of the grounds out in center field which is devoted to the bleachers.
16
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000
the rest is all double-deck grandstands.
17
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:45,000
the grass looks as though it were absolutely as fine as the finest type of golf course green.
18
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000
It's perfect out there today and Henry Fabian has certainly done a great job.
19
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Every seat in the house is filled now, almost at least.
20
00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:00,000
I can't see any vacant seats any place from my place up here in the second tier off third base.
21
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:11,000
It's just about a capacity crowd right now and undoubtedly every inch of the standing room will be taken before game time, which is in just a little less than fifteen minutes.
22
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,000
the boys have drawn an absolutely perfect day for baseball.
23
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:27,000
It's not too hot, but it's plenty hot enough to get a good sweat up when you're working out there on the field, but not too hot and not hot enough to be uncomfortable for the spectators, the customers.
24
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:34,000
So it's just perfect all the way around. There's a slight breeze blowing, but not enough to affect fly balls in particular.
25
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:44,000
You know, last year the first of these All-Star games was played out at Tremiskey Field in Chicago, and that ended with a victory for the younger league, the Americans, the final score being four to nothing.
26
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:53,000
That day a young fellow who had his 20th birthday in big leagues baseball only the day before yesterday and who intends to quit as a regular at the end of this season,
27
00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:00,000
he broke up that ball game with a towering home run with a man on the pad.
28
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:08,000
His name, as you all know, is Babe Ruth, or George Herman Ruth, if you will, and for years his specialty has been breaking up ball games.
29
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,000
This is another year, however, and the National League is out to avenge that beating of 1933.
30
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:24,000
the way that ball has been zipped around the bases so far, the dabbling infield plays, both teams have been pulling off, and the great running catches of long flies the outfielders have been snagging,
31
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,000
it seems that a man must just be a magician to slap out a safe hit.
32
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:39,000
But on the other hand, when you take a look at those batting averages of the two murderers rose, you must realize that they'll just snap into it one time or another and do the necessary to score some runs.
33
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,000
And that's what the crowd.
34
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Leading off for the American League will be Charlie Geringer, whose second basing in 382 batting average has been one of the big reasons why the Detroit Tigers have been such thorns in the sides of the America of the New York Yankees all season, crawling right along all the time.
35
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:08,000
They've been on top once in a while, but the Yankees have managed to cross the Fourth of July, which is supposed to be the old deadline, across the Fourth of July in the league.
36
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:15,000
the national batting order starts off with Frankie Fritz, the old Fordham Flack, manager of the St. Louis Cardinals.
37
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,000
By the way, as we run along, those of you who want to take these names down, be sure to add your pencil and paper and you can get them.
38
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,000
We're going to run over the batting order again a little when we finish.
39
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Frankie Fritz, the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals and the captain of All-Star Nationals today, he's been camping around second base so long that that position has given up all its secrets to him.
40
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,000
And his punch this year is at a 310-quid.
41
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Heini Manoush of the Washington Americans is second on the American batting order, and he'll be out there patrolling the left field garden.
42
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:53,000
He's the only man posting a 400 batting average. His average is 402, by the way.
43
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000
He'll look all both stuff to those opposing pitches.
44
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Pye Trainor, Pye Trainor, third baseman to Prince George by.
45
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:06,000
He's the new pirate manager, you know, and he'll take care of the hot corner for the Nationals.
46
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,000
And if he can't do it, well then, just nobody can, that's all.
47
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:17,000
He's hitting at a 352-quid, and he surely will play up to the great standards that he's set for years out there in Pittsburgh.
48
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Dave Bruce will be these old right field stands for the Americans, the man with the all-time record of 699 home runs in his major league career,
49
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:32,000
and who probably has been given more intentional passes than any other man ever in baseball.
50
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,000
For the bib, his batting average is very few near this year, 291.
51
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:43,000
the Nationals' number three man is Joe Medley, who, with the Dean brothers and Frankie Frisch,
52
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,000
is largely responsible for keeping the Cardinals up near the top.
53
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,000
He's hitting 361.
54
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:56,000
the American League has chosen Columbia Lue of the Yankees to fill the cleanup position,
55
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,000
and Pyeke Kyler of the Cubs gets the call from the Nationals.
56
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Gary Gunn first at such an old institution, the little meat he's fed of him.
57
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:10,000
He's baseball's iron man, and he's well in the running for both batting and home run leadership in his league.
58
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000
He's batting 369 at present.
59
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Pyeke Kyler is a right field ball hook, and he's scored the Willow-wielding average of 343 at present.
60
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Next for the Americans is Jimmy Foxx.
61
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,000
We had thought he would not be playing, but he's going to play according to the official lineup.
62
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Of course, Jimmy is a great star and home run hitter for Connie Mack down in Philadelphia,
63
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:38,000
and he's first basing is just too well known to need any talking about.
64
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Foxx is massaging the fellas at a 345 clip.
65
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,000
He's playing third today for the Americans.
66
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Wally Berger, the Boston Braves' center fielder, is a real ball hook,
67
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,000
one who gladdens the heart of Bill McKechnie as manager,
68
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,000
and one of the principal reasons why the Braves are always a menace.
69
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,000
He's hitting his free-16.
70
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Al Simmons of the White Sox of Chicago comes next in the Americans' batting order.
71
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:10,000
He'll do the center feeling, a staff, utterly graceful fly chaser, and always dangerous at the plate.
72
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:17,000
How many of us who were there will ever forget that athletic rally of 10 runs against the Cubs in the World Series several years ago,
73
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,000
a rally started by Simmons' ringing home run against the left field stand.
74
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,000
He batted twice in that inning.
75
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,000
He's singing the ball for a 343 standing.
76
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Then we have Bill Terry on the Nationals.
77
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Memphis Bill, the manager and first backer of the Nationals.
78
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:39,000
He places himself sixth in the batting order in spite of a fine average of 368,
79
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
the highest of the national team regulars.
80
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,000
As everyone knows, he's also manager of the world champion New York Giants,
81
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:51,000
and he's out in front now in quest of his second pennant and, of course, his second World Series.
82
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Joe Conan of the Americans is not only manager of the team,
83
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,000
but also manager of last year's American League champions, the Senators of Washington.
84
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Joe's pitching has fallen down on him a bit this year,
85
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:06,000
but if those hurlers begin to click as they should, his team may be right up there yet.
86
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Joe will be in there doing a lot of shortstopping,
87
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:16,000
and he's much more dangerous at the plate than his 283 average might indicate in this group of terrific super sluggers.
88
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Travis Jackson, Jackson of the Giants.
89
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,000
He batted seventh for the Nationals.
90
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,000
He's long been called the greatest shortstop in baseball,
91
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,000
a player who seemed up to be all washed up last winter on account of trouble with his leg.
92
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000
But trouble just doesn't mean a thing to Jackson,
93
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:36,000
and he's in there with his whip-forward arm tossing runners out from any and all positions
94
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,000
and holding up his end with a bat with an average of 287.
95
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,000
He's one of the most opportune hitters in the game today.
96
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Behind the bat, the Americans have Bill Dickens of the Yankees,
97
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,000
and the Nationals have Gabby Harkness of the Cubs.
98
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Both powerful forward for their team,
99
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:59,000
and a possessing fine arm to intimidate potential base dealers, and both have certainly –
100
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,000
that's certain something that helps in steady pitchers at critical moments.
101
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Dickie is batting 322 right now with Harkness just exactly the same,
102
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
so there's nothing to choose there.
103
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,000
the backstopping will be well taken care of.
104
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Two of the truly great pitchers of today will oppose each other in the starting lineup,
105
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,000
probably for three innings each.
106
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Signor Leslie Gomez of the Yankees and Carl Hubbell of the Giants.
107
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000
If these two are the starters, and I'm sure they will be now,
108
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,000
there should be a southpaw battle for three innings at least.
109
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000
That'll be worth traveling mighty far to see.
110
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Gomez has already won 14 games for the Yankees,
111
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,000
and Hubbell has a rating among many who should know as the greatest living pitcher,
112
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:48,000
and by not a few as a man who is coming along to take his place as the greatest of all time.
113
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Man, also look at those batting orders.
114
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Not a soft spot from top to bottom.
115
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,000
They're tough. Not the slightest chance for a pitching lead-up.
116
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Just groove one for any man in that lot, and bang, there goes your old ballgame.
117
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Will it be pitcher or will it be hitter?
118
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
A difference of opinion, eh?
119
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Well, that's what makes Posh Racing.
120
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Aside from the players mentioned, the Americans have as a pitcher Red Ruffing of the Yankees,
121
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Tom Bridges of the Tigers, Mel Harder of the Indians,
122
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Tom Housmel is going pretty good, Tom Manning of Cleveland ought to know all about him,
123
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Jack Russell of the Senators, infielders, Frank Higgins of the Athletics,
124
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Jimmy Dyke to the White Sox, outfielders, Earl Averill of the Indians,
125
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Ben Chapman of the Yanks, and Sammy West of the Browns.
126
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Of course, Tom Manning thinks that both Mel Harder and Earl Averill should be right in there now,
127
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,000
in the beginning of the game.
128
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,000
But they're not, and we'll probably see them all later.
129
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Catching, Rick Sparrow of the Red Sox.
130
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,000
I'm talking about extra players now, you know.
131
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:06,000
the Nationals have pitchers, Lon Warnocky, that's great stuff for the Cubs,
132
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Dizzy Dean, who with his brother is keeping the Cubs right up near the top,
133
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Van Mungo from the Dodgers, and over in Brooklyn they think Van Mungo is the greatest pitcher in either league,
134
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
and I'm not sure he is.
135
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,000
With a lowly team this year, unfortunately, for the Dodgers,
136
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Van Mungo has been pitching great balls.
137
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Then they also have Fred Frankhouse of the Braves.
138
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,000
There seems to be the general opinion around, among those who might know something about it,
139
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:40,000
that the National League pitching will top the American League pitching today to some extent,
140
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
but pretty soon you'll know all about it.
141
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:48,000
As extra infielders in the Nationals, Pepper Martin of the Cards,
142
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:55,000
he's that baby that went crazy in just about one of World Series all by himself a few years ago, three years ago, 31.
143
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Floyd Vaughn of the Pirates, we had thought that Floyd might go in, play in shortstop right away.
144
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:07,000
As Jackson has had some eye trouble, but Jackson will start.
145
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Billy Harmon of the Cubs, outfielders for the Nationals, extra men, Paul Wehner of the Pirates,
146
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,000
Mel Otter of the Giants, and Chuck Klein of the Cubs.
147
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:21,000
Just think of a baseball team that keeps Paul Wehner, Mel Otter, and Chick Klein on the base.
148
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Boy, oh boy.
149
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:29,000
Also an extra catcher, Al Lopez of the Dodgers.
150
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:36,000
the umpiring today done today will be by Rick Owens and Doug Moriarity from the American League,
151
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:43,000
and Charlie Berman and Dolly Scott of the National League.
152
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Besides its manager, Joe Coleman, the American team will have the services of Walter Johnson,
153
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,000
the old master pitcher from Washington, you know.
154
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:58,000
Walter Johnson will be on the coaching line, and Al Shax will also be on the line.
155
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,000
For the American League.
156
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:09,000
And the National League team will be similarly served by manager Bill McKechnie and manager Casey Stengel.
157
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Casey Stengel, you know, I remember one day out here when Casey Stengel slapped out two home runs in the World Series,
158
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,000
one of all games for the Giants.
159
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,000
What a day that was for old Casey. No doubt about that.
160
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Anyway, all together it looks as though a grand and glorious baseball game was going to begin
161
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000
very, very soon.
162
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:35,000
the managers of the teams, the captains of the teams, and the four umpires have gathered around the whole place
163
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,000
for a last-minute conference before this ballgame starts.
164
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,000
I don't think there's a seat in the house.
165
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:47,000
That means there must be somewhere in the neighborhood of 55,000 to 60,000 people crammed in the polar grounds
166
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:53,000
this afternoon on one of the most beautiful baseball days you ever saw in your life.
167
00:13:53,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Both Gomez and Hubbell are down there left-handing them into their catches on the sidelines,
168
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,000
getting warmed up for the game.
169
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:10,000
And I want you all to know that in a few moments we'll turn the microphone over to Tom Manning of Cleveland.
170
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Tom, you know, has been telling you about World Series since time immemorial.
171
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:20,000
And he's also going to give us play-by-play scoring today.
172
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Tommy Manning, that paratop redhead from Cleveland, Ohio.
173
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,000
Yeah, quit that, Tom.
174
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,000
And also with us is Ford Bond.
175
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Ford Bond has been telling you all about the baseball scores daily through this season.
176
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:42,000
And he's been making a fine baseball game out of the news results following the game.
177
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Ford has been telling you about every game.
178
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,000
They haven't missed a game yet, have they, Ford?
179
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,000
No, he says he hasn't missed a game.
180
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Of course, if he falls out of this box he might miss tomorrow's game, but he will try to keep him in.
181
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000
the field has been cleared now.
182
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,000
the boys are still standing around.
183
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:10,000
the home plate, Joe Cronin and Bill Terry and I see Walter Johnson is there too.
184
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:16,000
And I believe, I don't know whether it's going to be before the game or not, but I believe it will.
185
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:22,000
It will be the unveiling of the tablet for John McGrath.
186
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,000
John McGrath, the Little Napoleon, as he was called for many years,
187
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:34,000
after the drapes have been pulled back from the tablet commemorating the history of John McGrath and the Giants.
188
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000
It's out in center field.
189
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,000
the tablet to McGrath is located just above the tomb.
190
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:47,000
Not the tomb, it isn't exactly a tomb, but the stone plaque out in center field at the center field exit
191
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:55,000
which was erected some years ago for that world boy, Captain Eddie Grant, formerly of the Giants.
192
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Just above the memorial to Eddie Grant is a plaque to Chrissie Matthewsons,
193
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:10,000
who many people say, many of the old enthusiasts claim was absolutely the greatest picture of all time.
194
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:17,000
Rock Young also is in memory out there with another plaque next to Chrissie Matthewsons.
195
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Rock Young, you know, was that great outfielder of the New York Giants some years ago,
196
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,000
and the Giants and the world locked in.
197
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Eddie Grant, Chrissie Matthewsons, and Rock Young, and now above all of these is placed the bronze plaque
198
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:40,000
in memory of John McGrath, one of the greatest leaders of baseball men who ever lived,
199
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,000
unquestionably, and one of the real old timers.
200
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:50,000
He and Connie Mack were up to a short time ago were the only two of the real old timers left,
201
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:57,000
and now we have but one, Connie Mack, who I believe is now in his 72nd year.
202
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:04,000
I believe Connie is that old, but to know Connie you would never think he was that old.
203
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:09,000
And it was a terrific blow to baseball, of course, to lose John McGrath,
204
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,000
but he felt that he was not in good health.
205
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:19,000
He resigned from his managership of the New York Giants, and they were his greatest love all his life.
206
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:27,000
And it wasn't very long before it seemed that the body simply could not hold his soul any longer
207
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:34,000
after he had lost his beloved Giants, and so he passed from it.
208
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Now this ballgame is going to start in just a very few moments,
209
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,000
and I think Tommy Manning would like to warm himself up here talking for a few moments
210
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,000
before this baseball game commences.
211
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Tommy Manning will tell you first about the play, the play-by-play through the entire game.
212
00:17:53,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Between innings, we have, Ford Bond will talk to us and give us some of the high spots inning by inning.
213
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,000
After the game it will be my pleasure to come back again on the microphone
214
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,000
and talk about the game to some extent. Not too long, I hope.
215
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:15,000
And now Mr. Brian McNamee speaking, the National Broadcasting Company,
216
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:22,000
the National Broadcasting Company is sending you the details of this game, and here's Red Tom Manning.
217
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Come in, Tom.
218
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Good afternoon, everybody.
219
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,000
As James has told you, it is really a great day here at the Polar Grounds in New York,
220
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,000
and what a ballgame we all anticipate.
221
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Before we get started this afternoon, I want you to know that Ford Bond is going to speak to you throughout the game,
222
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:53,000
and if you don't mind, as William McNamee, of course, has given all of us so many fine thrills
223
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,000
during his broadcasting career, we're mighty happy to send you today,
224
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:02,000
and to congratulate William McNamee, today is his birthday, it's that night, Ford.
225
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,000
That's right, that's right, James is celebrating a birthday,
226
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:10,000
enjoying all of his presents and claiming, what is it, 26 or 24, that he was asking about a while ago.
227
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,000
Well, the players are all walking out now to have their pictures taken,
228
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,000
together with a few of the umpires, the national leaguers have come out.
229
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,000
Today the National League are wearing their home uniforms,
230
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,000
and of course each one of them decorated with their individual insignia of the teams,
231
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,000
the cubic cardinals and the pirates and the giants, all of them down there.
232
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,000
Just for a moment, while we have time, we're going to check through this batting order
233
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,000
so that you have it firmly in your mind or on your sheet if you're following
234
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:39,000
and keeping scores of the play-by-play account which will be given you by Tom Manning.
235
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,000
We'll check through the American batting order here for the moment.
236
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Gehringer will lead off, Gehringer the second baseman on the American lineup today.
237
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:53,000
This will be followed by Manning, and the crowd rings out with applause
238
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,000
for that National League crowd as they stand out.
239
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,000
They're all having their picture taken, almost as many ballplayers as there are photographers,
240
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,000
but I think the photographers outnumber them.
241
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Manoush is second, then Ruth, third in the lineup,
242
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,000
which is his usual place in the Yankees' batting order,
243
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,000
followed by that thundering artilleryman who bombards almost every park
244
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,000
that he gets into, 24 home runs so far this season, Lou Gehry.
245
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:22,000
First four, Gehringer, Manoush, Ruth, and Gehry.
246
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Then fifth in the batting order and wearing the number five today is Fox,
247
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Manning third base here in the starting lineup,
248
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,000
followed by that crashing center fielder, Simmons.
249
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Simmons is sixth and also wearing that number.
250
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,000
Then Cronin, placing himself seventh in the batting order.
251
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,000
He occupied fourth in the Senators' batting order of his home team.
252
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,000
He's managing this club today, this American League club,
253
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,000
and he's placed himself seventh in the batting order.
254
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Bill Dickey, the catcher, occupying the eighth place, and Gomez, the starting pitcher, the ninth.
255
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Now the players have broken up down there for the moment
256
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,000
and are running up to their position,
257
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,000
so we'll go through the National League batting order right quickly here.
258
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Fresh, leadoff man and second baseman of the National League team today.
259
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Schreiner, third baseman and occupying the second place in the batting order.
260
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:20,000
Medwick, followed by Kyler, Kaikai Kyler, the right fielder.
261
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Then Berger, Perry, Jackson, next, who is playing short.
262
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,000
the thought that Vaughn might start with Jackson, goes in the start.
263
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,000
Hartnett, Gabby Hartnett, the catch-up catcher,
264
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,000
who is starting off as catcher for the National League, is down there now.
265
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,000
He's put on his protector and he's in guard,
266
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,000
and Hubbell walks out and picks up a ball on the mound,
267
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,000
and Hubbell occupying the ninth position in the batting order.
268
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,000
They're warming up, now tossing over a few to Gabby Hartnett, who wings it back,
269
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,000
and the infielders are tossing the ball around.
270
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,000
It goes over to Bill Terry, he wings it across on the ground,
271
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,000
over to Pied Schreiner on third.
272
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Getting just about ready, and Gehringer, the second baseman,
273
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,000
leadoff man for the American League team,
274
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,000
is up there now measuring his batting feeling of it,
275
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,000
and here's Tom Manning to give you the start of this great game,
276
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,000
the all-stars of the American and National Leagues,
277
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,000
and he's got his bat with Gehringer up there at the plate, and here's Tom Manning.
278
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
Well, just about steps are going on.
279
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000
the tournament is behind the plate, umpiring.
280
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,000
the tournament is the National League, you know.
281
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Short quality of the American League is at third.
282
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Rick Owens is at first, and Dolly Stock is at second base.
283
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Dolly Gehringer steps into the battered box.
284
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,000
Here's the windup.
285
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,000
the big Paul Hubbell and the first ball kick.
286
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,000
It's a foul down first base, right one.
287
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,000
the ball is received over there by Robert Johnson,
288
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,760
the
289
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,000
second baseman Indian, and with a lay from on with the ball,
290
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:53,000
got away from Walder, and Phil Perry, manager and first baseman of today's game,
291
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,000
finally receives the ball across the back to the National League dugout.
292
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Now ready to go again.
293
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000
Gehringer up, you know, spikes one.
294
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Foul, a fast ball,
295
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000
lifts to the outside corner of the plate,
296
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,000
just a little bit too high.
297
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,000
That one was not quite as fast as the first ball that Hubbell talked in there,
298
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Ball one and strike one on Charlie Gellinger.
299
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,000
You know that great second baseman will be Detroit Tigers.
300
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,000
Here it is. Ball two.
301
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,000
Another hook ball. This is the outside corner of the plate.
302
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Hubbell stood there, bending down for a moment, looking in.
303
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Now that's the ball and the count on Charlie Gellinger.
304
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Ball two and strike one. Here it is.
305
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,000
It's a base hit. Frankie Crick drives to the ball and a foul in the center field.
306
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,000
It's Bumble Gellinger's bounding first going to second and close the goal.
307
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,000
He's safe. He's safe at second base.
308
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:58,000
That will be scored as a single for Charlie Gellinger and an error for center fielder Wally Berger.
309
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,000
Charlie Gellinger with a top ball two and strike one.
310
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:07,000
He's stopped him through the end field. Frankie Crick, the manager of the state, who was part of his playing second base,
311
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,000
goes along the ground. It got Charlie missed his fingertips.
312
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,000
Rolled on out in the center field where it was Bumble by Berger.
313
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Charlie Gellinger playing heads up around the first base and it was awful off of post at second.
314
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:24,000
He split in and he had jacked him around the ground, but he is safe. He is on second.
315
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Now we have Hiney Manu, the left-hander of the Washington Senators.
316
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:37,000
A big, off-key left-hand hitter is up. Hiney, though, is the only major leaguer who has a batting average of 402.
317
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,000
the first pitch is a foul outside.
318
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:45,000
Strike three. Hiney Manu was not giving on Bumble.
319
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,000
He's gone from all the way back and the fouls aren't Hiney Manu.
320
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,000
the second man up in the first inning.
321
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Ball one and strike one.
322
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,000
Charlie Gellinger on second base. Nobody else.
323
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Here's the pitch. It's a foul.
324
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,000
Hiney Manu taking almost a half-string.
325
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Gabby Hartman going around pointing his finger to the umpire with the ball in his hand.
326
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,000
the umpire had called it a foul.
327
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:17,000
So the count on Hiney Manu, a left-hander, is ball two and strike one.
328
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,000
Here's the pitch. He swings. He misses.
329
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,000
Strike two.
330
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Hiney Manu's quite taking a long cut-ass apron on God of Many Hazards.
331
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000
High on that right field.
332
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,000
Please return to the ball of ground.
333
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,000
It's 294 feet from home plate and about 15 feet high.
334
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,000
the count on Manu, ball two, strike two.
335
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Nobody else. Gellinger on second.
336
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Here it is. Hubble pitching. Ball three.
337
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,000
A hook ball with just a little bit low on the outside.
338
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Now the count on Hiney Manu. Ball three and strike two.
339
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,000
It's the first inning of this all-star ball game at the ball of ground in New York.
340
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,000
National Broadcasting Company sending you the description.
341
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,000
Nobody else. Gellinger on second.
342
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Hiney Manu's with a count ball.
343
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,000
Three, strike two. Something's got to happen.
344
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Here it is.
345
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,000
It's a ball. A ball that was over the plate but just a little bit low.
346
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,000
And Hiney Manu's lost.
347
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Now we have Hiney on first.
348
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:31,000
Gellinger on second and the mighty Sultana Scott. Listen to that cheer for Faith Lue.
349
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Just at the moment, manager Bill Perry, Frankie Fritz,
350
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Travis Jackson, high trainer, a wall in there around Paul Hubble,
351
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,000
and they're having, as Bill Mundy would say, a hook-bop gutter shooter in Hubble.
352
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,000
And by the way, Bill Mundy is here with us in the box today.
353
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,000
And a little later on, we're going to have Bill come over and say hello to you.
354
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,000
I know you'll all be anxious to hear him.
355
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Ball players may come and they may go,
356
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,000
but here is the king of them all in the battered box,
357
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,000
pulling that old bat up and down enough to duck off his shoes,
358
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,000
and he's ready to face the great Paul Hubble.
359
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,000
the pitch hits his plate over the heart of the plate.
360
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,000
Top ball strikes on Bay Route.
361
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,000
It's the first inning, you know. Nobody else.
362
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,000
Tiny Manouches on first, putting some of the base on ball.
363
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Charlie Gellinger is on second base.
364
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000
Here's the pitch.
365
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000
Ball is outside.
366
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,000
4-1 and strike one.
367
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Fans are all yelling, the American League fans are forced.
368
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,000
the crowd is split here.
369
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,000
And there the American League fans are forced to pull in for base
370
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
to park one of the bleachers, one-on-one the pitch.
371
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000
He swings, he misses.
372
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,000
It's a strike.
373
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Bay Route swung from way back on that one.
374
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,000
He was aiming for it someplace over in Scroog and Scruff.
375
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,000
I don't know, but he was certainly swinging from way back.
376
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Strike two and ball one is the count.
377
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,000
Tiny Manouches on first.
378
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,000
Charlie Gellinger is on second.
379
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,000
Nobody is out.
380
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Paul Hubble, the great master league south ball, the giant is in the box.
381
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Here it is.
382
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:13,000
Strike three, strike three, he's out.
383
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:18,000
Boy oh boy what a thrill to see 60,000 fans shot out of the back.
384
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,000
the mighty Bay Route is up there and with the master leaguers
385
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,000
nervous with runners on first and second in this important ball game.
386
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,000
Bay Route coming up there and with a count two and one.
387
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Kyle Hubble hooked one over the inside corner.
388
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,000
the Bay pulled away and it was a called strike.
389
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Now we have one man out.
390
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,000
But it isn't all over yet.
391
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,000
They're all sluggish.
392
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,000
Lou Gehrig is up and we're ready to go.
393
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,000
Lou Gehrig knocks it up, Dauphin's shoes pull down, it's tapped,
394
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:50,000
man takes his stand in there, hits the ball high outside.
395
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,000
This boy, Gehrig, you know, is plenty responsible for the position
396
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,000
of the New York Yankees in the American League.
397
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,000
Here's the pitch.
398
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:08,000
He brings the message, strike two.
399
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Lou Gehrig, the mighty hitting first backer of the New York Yankees
400
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,000
is up there with runners on first and second.
401
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,000
One man out.
402
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,000
Foul, that was low inside.
403
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,000
They're all ready to push it, but it's both low inside
404
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:30,000
and out of the count and ball two and strike one.
405
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,000
Gabby Hartman of the Chicago Cubs is the catcher.
406
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Kyle Hubble is in the box.
407
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:40,000
the first inning, one man out, no score, runners on first and second.
408
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
Here's the pitch to Gehrig.
409
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,000
It's too low.
410
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Foul three.
411
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:51,000
Brad Hartman, Kyle Hubble, he's working awfully hard out there.
412
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:58,000
And well he should, the little ray of sluggers coming up.
413
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Jimmy Foxx is hanging around home plate.
414
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,000
You've all heard of course of Jimmy Foxx.
415
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Dave Luce, Lou Gehrig, Jimmy Foxx following in a row.
416
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,000
Murderous throw, make no mistake about it.
417
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Three and one is the counter.
418
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,000
Here's the pitch.
419
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,000
Hits it straight, tucks that ball right down the old alley.
420
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:20,000
Gehrig has elected to work out his string with Kyle Hubble and all the count is ball three and strike two.
421
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,000
It is very possible now that Gehrig around second,
422
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Manu John first will be off with the picture in motion.
423
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
However, we have but one out.
424
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,000
We shall see the attack of Bill Cullen on his next play.
425
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Three and two, you're off.
426
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,000
Manu has a big lead off first.
427
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,000
Where they go, they're running.
428
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,000
Gehrig swings, he misses, he breaks out.
429
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,000
But the double field was attempted and Gehrig is putting just ahead of the ball.
430
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,000
And it's safe.
431
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:50,000
By trainer, the third baseman for the National Leaguers is now arguing with umpire George Moriality.
432
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:54,000
That was very, very close to Gehrig's swing and missed the first strike.
433
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,000
And with the runners off with the picture in motion and all the count was three and two,
434
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,000
and they were off, and Charlie Gehringer stood in just ahead of that throw.
435
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,000
It was very, very close to George Moriality of the American League.
436
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:11,000
That is goal right over that play at third base and declared Charlie Gehringer safe.
437
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:17,000
It's a stolen base for Gehringer and a stolen base for Heine Menuh.
438
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:23,000
Manager Bill Perry, Travis Jackson, and several of the other boys off walked over as far as the picture's box.
439
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,000
But the argument at third base is over.
440
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:31,000
They are now planning the attack on Jimmy Foxx, one of the greatest right-hand hitters of all time.
441
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,000
While we have a moment, let us keep you in the picture again.
442
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,000
It is the first inning of this all-strap ball game in the Polar Grounds of New York City.
443
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:43,000
Charlie Gehringer is on third base. Heine Menuh of the Washington Senators is on second.
444
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:50,000
We have two men out and that mighty hitter, Tom Coney Mack, Philadelphia athletic, is now at the plate.
445
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:55,000
Carl Hubbell is winding up. Here's the picture Foxx. He swings, he misses.
446
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:59,000
Like one, Boy Harvest Hubbell is burning him across the plate.
447
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:03,000
Picking his old heart out there for the cause of the National League.
448
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:08,000
Striking out with those two great hitters, Payne Bluth and Luke Garry, two men out,
449
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,000
runners on second and third, Foxx is up.
450
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Strikes the pitch, ball one.
451
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:20,000
That was a curve ball that bit the inside and accounted for one and strike one on Jimmy Foxx.
452
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:27,000
Jimmy Foxx is playing third base for the American Leaguers this afternoon.
453
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:31,000
Here's the windup again, ball one, strike one.
454
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:36,000
It's a foul, foul up over the stands in the backhand to count on Jimmy Foxx in strike two.
455
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Gabby Harkness gets a new ball from O'Fyre Furbin and whips it down to Pye Crane of the Third.
456
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:49,000
Crane takes his trouble, rubs it up a little and then runs halfway over to the picture Foxx where he crosses it to Carl Hubbell.
457
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:55,000
Boy, what picking this trouble is doing out there. the first two men are up, down, on and then he's struck out.
458
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:01,000
Bluth and Garry, and here's the pitch, strike two and ball one. Ball two, ball two.
459
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:06,000
It was high outside and the count on Jimmy Foxx is strike two and ball two.
460
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,000
Close score again in the first half of the first inning. Two men out.
461
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:15,000
Garryger is on third, Manouche is on second and Foxx is up, two and two.
462
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:20,000
And here it is, the pitch. He brings it, he goes, he goes, he's struck out.
463
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Boy, oh boy, oh boy, he's struck out. Three strikeouts for Carl Hubbell. Come in for a con.
464
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:33,000
A ball player's dream, yes, for a manager's dream, and a pitcher's nightmare.
465
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,000
That's what this is when you face these murderers' roles that come out here at a fast.
466
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:41,000
And what an achievement that was of Carl Hubbell right here in this first inning.
467
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Here is a resume of what happened, just to go over it briefly.
468
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:50,000
the American League first inning, character leading off, the count goes to two and one and he snaps a shot, single to center field,
469
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:58,000
going into second base on Berger's error in center field, and he's led hot into second there with Fritz receiving a throw and the umpire called him safe.
470
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:02,000
Single and an extra base on Berger's error.
471
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:10,000
Then Manouche comes up and it goes to three and two, and then the next one sails over, is a ball, and Manouche walks, and it's two men on base.
472
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:15,000
And nobody out, and then it's two, that big conference there in the infield with Bill Terry.
473
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:23,000
Come over to find out how you saw a pitcher, Carl Hubbell, what's going to do with two men on, and then these two murderers coming up, Dave Ruth and Gary.
474
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Well, Ruth steps up there, the count went to one and one ball and two strikes, and then the babe's standing there looking at one,
475
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:35,000
and it comes over and the umpire's hand goes up in the air, and the man is out. Yes, sir. Dave, called out on site.
476
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:42,000
Gary comes up, and he goes out swinging, and Gehringer and Manouche go down to second and third, third and second and second.
477
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:48,000
And then Jimmy Fox comes up and strikes out a great achievement, Carl Hubbell. Here we go into the second half of first inning, Tom Manning.
478
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Mikey first is up, second base, swing it over, manager to St. Louis Cardinals, Mikey Batson right handed.
479
00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Lepsey Gomez is in the box for the American Leaguers. Mikey gets a home run, going, going, going, hits high, up into the pieces,
480
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:29,000
and a home run, a home run for Frankie Frech, Mr. Watzwau. Yes, indeed, Frankie Frech certainly got a hold of that one,
481
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:38,000
and parked it in the upper deck of the right field pavilion, directly up about 40 feet above the 395 foot sign.
482
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:43,000
That ball was well hit, and now we have Pye Trainer up, another right hand batter.
483
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:52,000
Strike, home, that was a curved ball that Gomez had over the outside corner of the plate, and the count on Pye Trainer is strike one.
484
00:35:52,000 --> 00:36:00,000
the next one, it's a ball, high outside, and the count is ball one, and strike one.
485
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:06,000
Just imagine what we've seen here in the first inning so far. Sorry, oh boy.
486
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:14,000
It's a foul up the serves and back of the plate, and the count on Frankie Frech is strike two, and ball one.
487
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:21,000
Frech steps out of the box for a moment, knocks the dirt off his shoes, and then steps back in there again.
488
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:28,000
What he finds, that's a goal man walking around the second base side of the box, mumbling the rosin bags.
489
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:32,000
But now we're ready to go, strike two and ball one on Pye Trainer.
490
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:40,000
Between the misses, it was a tip ball that got away from Bill Dickey, so the count remains strike two and ball one.
491
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:44,000
Well the Max DeLeacus are out of the court now, of course, by the score of one to nothing.
492
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:50,000
This is the last half of the first inning. Nobody on, Frankie Frech, first up, smacks out a homer.
493
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:56,000
Has the ground ball down, second base play, Goehringer is up with it, passes to Gary Haines.
494
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Pye Trainer is out at first, one man out, and nobody on.
495
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:06,000
That was a nice play by Charlie Goehringer. Charlie, of course, makes a lot of brilliant plays down there at second base.
496
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:12,000
He had to run over Pye to his right, and he whips the ball underhand, full high to Lou Gehrig.
497
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,000
We have one man out, and Joe Medwick is up.
498
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Joe Medwick, also the same little start, he bats him right handed, hits the first ball, hits a high, flies into the left field.
499
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,000
Men whose coming over, Coleman going out.
500
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:35,000
Coleman ran all the way out near the stands, but Josh failed to make the catch, and it is a strike.
501
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,000
Coleman went a long way out for that one.
502
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:48,000
Heidi Menuh is playing over in deep left center field for Joe Medwick, and the ball was hit just alongside of the creatures out here in the left field corner.
503
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,000
Joe Coleman just barely had his fingertips on that ball, but couldn't hold it.
504
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:59,000
Players are walking back to their positions rather slowly now. Heidi Menuh is back to left field, and Coleman and Fox coming in to third and short.
505
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,000
Now ready to go again.
506
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,000
Leslie Gomez in the box. Medwick is up.
507
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,000
Fights on the pitch. It's a foul.
508
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Up over the first box, and the count on Joe Medwick is strike two.
509
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,000
Last half of the first inning.
510
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,000
the National Leaguers won the first game.
511
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:24,000
Strike two. Last half of the first inning. the National Leaguers won. American Leaguers nothing.
512
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:32,000
Joey Medwick, one of the finest looking young ball players to come up in years, is at the plate.
513
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,000
Strike two, and here's the pitch.
514
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,000
Wings! And misses.
515
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:42,000
He thought it was a tip ball, but it was not. He is still claiming it was a tip ball.
516
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:51,000
Nicky dropped the ball and tagged him out, but Medwick is still talking to the umpire, but the umpire says it was not a tip ball, and he has declared out a strikeout.
517
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,000
Now we have two men out and nobody on.
518
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:06,000
Joey Medwick thought that he tipped that ball, but if he did, the umpire did not hear it, and it was the third strike swinging.
519
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,000
Two outs, nobody on.
520
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Ty Ty Carter, the Chicago Cubs, is a high interlocutor batting in right-handed this afternoon.
521
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:22,000
Ty is quite a ball player. He's been up a long time, and Benny Innsbill is given the Master League Bench.
522
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,000
Ball! High outside.
523
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:30,000
Nick hits the plate, and it's ball two.
524
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,000
Ty Carter is up there the last half of the first inning.
525
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,000
Two outs, nobody on, and it's not a ball two.
526
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:44,000
the second inning, if a crowd is on shortstop weight, Bullman comes up with it, tosses it to Kerrigs, and Tyler is out at first.
527
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,000
Patrick Tire, the Master League is in the first inning, has one run, on one hit.
528
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:53,000
At the end of the first inning, the Master League has won, the American League has nothing to win for.
529
00:39:54,000 --> 00:40:00,000
And what a thrill rang through these fans when Frankie Frisch stepped up to that plate.
530
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:09,000
A ball shot over, and it was called a ball, and he settled himself, gave a hit to his fans, wiped his hands on the dirt, picked up that bat, leaned over the plate,
531
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:17,000
and looked at the next delivery that Gomez shot in, and wanged it high, hard, and far into the upper deck of the right field fans for a thrilling over.
532
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:27,000
And how that guys lifted the fans out of their seats, a thrill when that ball leans to the back of the bat and smashes straight and direct for those upper right field fans.
533
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:34,000
So a run came in, and Gomez settled down, Boehner, the second man in the National League batting order, came up, the count went down to second base,
534
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:39,000
Kerrigs came over, gave it up fast, shot it to Kerrigs over on first, and he was out.
535
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,000
One out, he's in the National League's first inning.
536
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:50,000
Then Medwick, Medwick came to bat, shut down, Tyler came up, shot it down to corn, he's out corn to Kerrigs, and here we go with Simmons up at bat, I believe,
537
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,000
in the second inning, and Tom Manning coming in to give it to you.
538
00:40:53,000 --> 00:41:02,000
Kyle Hubbell with the softball, the Giants is in the box again, Al Simmons, the right-hand hitter, is up the pitch, ball one, a fast ball, was high on the outside.
539
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:07,000
As we went to the first half of the second inning, the National Leaguers are out in front by the score of one to nothing.
540
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:11,000
Al Simmons leads off for the Americans in the second inning.
541
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:17,000
He swings and misses, a mighty swing, turning all the way around, that's a beautiful pivot to know that Simmons has.
542
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:23,000
Biggest pose in the dirt, swings all around, and the count is four to one, and strike one.
543
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:31,000
Manager Joe Cronin is hanging around home plate, coming up next, the pitch, strike two!
544
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:42,000
Al Ozzetto, screwball, came in there, stole the high, and then dove down, and Simmons swung over it, and the count is strike two and four to one.
545
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:49,000
First man up for the American Leaguers in the second inning.
546
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:55,000
Here's the pitch, he's out, he's swinging, strikes out, one dog.
547
00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:02,000
That was a change of pace off of the tall hubbell, had in there, letter high, Simmons took a good throw home and swung.
548
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,000
Boy, that constitutes some sort of a record.
549
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:13,000
Dave Lujerich, Jimmy Fox, and Al Simmons all striking out in succession.
550
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Boys and girls, this boy hubbell is a pitcher.
551
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Joe Cronin is up there, he hits him right handed, you know.
552
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,000
the first is a foul up and back.
553
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:28,000
Up on top of the first box, and the count on Joe Cronin is strike one.
554
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:37,000
Mermencroft has got another new ball, Gabby Hartnett whips it down to Phil Carey at first, Carey rubs it off a little bit, and then drops it over to Kyle Hubbell.
555
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:42,000
First half of the second inning, one to nothing in favor of the National Leaguers.
556
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,000
One man out, and nobody is on.
557
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:51,000
Here's the pitch to Cronin, strike two, swinging.
558
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:59,000
That old blue ball to Kyle Hubbell is working in there beautifully this afternoon. It must be when you strike out four hitters like that.
559
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,000
Blue, Carey, Fox, and Simmons.
560
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:06,000
Now he has a count two and nothing on Joe Cronin.
561
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,000
One man out, nobody on.
562
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:11,000
the pitch, it's too high, four to one.
563
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:18,000
That was just about the fastest ball that hubbell has tossed in there this afternoon with a count two and nothing.
564
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,000
He's a smart pitcher, you know. He whips that fast one in there.
565
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:26,000
Here's the pitch again, two.
566
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:30,000
White three, swinging. He's struck about.
567
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:42,000
Five strikeouts in a row for let's see how the National League.
568
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:51,000
Back to the second inning, the American Leaguers are left back, and we have two men out and nobody on.
569
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:57,000
the benefit of those who have just tuned in, Kyle Hubbell has struck out the last five batters.
570
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:02,000
Here's Phil Dickey, strikes the hole up in front of the first box, and it's strike one.
571
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:09,000
Phil Dickey, back from left-handed.
572
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:14,000
Phil Dickey, you know, is a great hole, clean catcher of the New York Yankees.
573
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:18,000
Ball, that was a hook ball that got away from Hubbell.
574
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:23,000
It was outside and a little bit low, and the count is ball one and strike one.
575
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,000
What a ball game we're watching.
576
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,000
Ball one and strike one.
577
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:32,000
There's the windup, two out, nobody on.
578
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,000
Strike two, ball.
579
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:41,000
That's the ball that Phil Dickey pulled away from, and it broke over the heart of the plate, or it falls straight.
580
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:45,000
And the count now is strike two, ball one.
581
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:50,000
the American Leaguers batting in the second inning, two out, nobody on.
582
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,000
Here's a pitch, strike two, and ball one.
583
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,000
He's banged it into the base, hit into left field.
584
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,000
A base hit into left field, the ball is received by Medwick.
585
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:04,000
He tosses it into Skavitz, Gatcham at second base, and Dickey stops at first.
586
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:08,000
That's the second hit of the afternoon for the American Leaguers.
587
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:19,000
And now, Gresti Gomez, who is in the box for the American Leaguers, comes to the plate.
588
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:23,000
the score, the National Leaguers one, the American Leaguers nothing.
589
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,000
It's the first half of the second inning.
590
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,000
Two men have been retired, and Phil Dickey is on first.
591
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:33,000
Gomez swings and pulls back all the way down to Phil Curry at first base.
592
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:37,000
Phil Curry picks the bat up and is walking all the way in the home plate.
593
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:41,000
He doesn't throw it back, but he's walking all the way in the home plate.
594
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:49,000
And Curry definitely hands the bat to Gresti Gomez and makes some kind of comment.
595
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:53,000
Yes sir, Phil Curry picks that bat up right from his to Dickey at first base
596
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,000
and walks all the way into the batter's box.
597
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,000
And standard to Dickey to let go of it.
598
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,000
Strike one at the count, two out, Dickey on first pitch.
599
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,000
Strike two, he wins.
600
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:09,000
That was a long follow through, a very beautiful golf swing that Gresti Gomez had on display that time.
601
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,000
Strike two is the count to go.
602
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:14,000
Two men out and Phil Dickey is on first.
603
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,000
Donnie Carrier hanging around home plate.
604
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:18,000
Here's the pitch.
605
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,000
Strike three, swinging.
606
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:24,000
Gresti Gomez, the pitcher of the American Leaguers,
607
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:30,000
struck out making his sixth strikeout for the Power Hubbell of the basketball league.
608
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,000
the score one to nothing, the segment of the first half of the second inning.
609
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,000
Come in for it.
610
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:38,000
the American Leaguers half of the second inning started off with Simmons up.
611
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:42,000
And of course the fans hanging onto the edge of their seats with Simmons at bat.
612
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:46,000
After Hubbell had struck out Ruth and Gehrig in the first inning,
613
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:50,000
so Simmons came up, the count went to one ball and two strikes, one and two on him.
614
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:54,000
And then he swung hard and collected an awful lot of air on the end of his bat.
615
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,000
the fourth strikeout for Hubbell.
616
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,000
Then Joe Conan came up.
617
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:03,000
the count went at one and two on him and he whiffed with a vicious cut at that ball,
618
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,000
missing it, making the fifth man.
619
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,000
Then Phil Dickey came up.
620
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:12,000
Sure fire hitter Phil Dickey, a great catcher, and the American League catcher this afternoon.
621
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:17,000
And he wanged the ninth Little Texas Leaguers out into left field just over the shortstop head
622
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:21,000
and not far enough up for Medwick to do anything about it out in left field for a single.
623
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,000
Gomez came to bat.
624
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,000
Gomez who's had that contrast on with Johnny Broca of the Yankees
625
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,000
to see who could get the most hits this season.
626
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,000
So far Gomez has had five and he's struck out three straight.
627
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:36,000
So here we go into the National League half, the second inning, and here's Tom Manning to give it to.
628
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:40,000
Wally Burger, right-handed with his first up, he swings at the first ball,
629
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:43,000
hits it at the foul, up and back, strike one.
630
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,000
That's the Gomez, you know, is in the box for the American League,
631
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,000
here's Phil Dickey behind the bat.
632
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,000
We have a moment for those who just tuned in.
633
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,000
Gehrig is at first, Gehrig in at second,
634
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:57,000
Bolamic short and Jimmy Fox to be athletic at third.
635
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,000
the outfield is Rooks, Simmons, and Manning.
636
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,000
Strike two, swinging.
637
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:08,000
Wally Burger, you know, is one of the long-distance hitters of the Master League.
638
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:12,000
Well, as far as that's concerned, everybody out here is a long-distance hitter today.
639
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:16,000
Burger's the first man up for the Master Leagueers and the last half of the second.
640
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:20,000
the pitch, the long spank is foul in left field.
641
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:24,000
the long spank is far high over the pavilion in left field,
642
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:33,000
and the hit is strike two on Wally Burger.
643
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,000
So it's one and nothing, you know, in favor of the Master Leagueers,
644
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,000
and we tell the Frankie Fishers home run.
645
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:41,000
Frankie Fishers was the first man up for the Master Leagueers in the first inning.
646
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,000
Focked it in the upper deck of the right field, stands for Homer.
647
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:50,000
Strike three, Wally Burger, and strike two on swing.
648
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:54,000
That's the second strikeout of the afternoon.
649
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:59,000
Bill Piper is coming up. Bill gets a great ovation from the crowd as he steps to the plate.
650
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:04,000
Bill is well-liked here in New York City, and he's trippy.
651
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,000
Bill is a great ballplayer.
652
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,000
Bill is the manager of the Master Leagueers today.
653
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:17,000
He's a left-handed hitter, the first pick. By long, a fast ball is outside.
654
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:21,000
Travis Jackson, drop-stop and captain of the Giants, is next.
655
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:25,000
There's a long smash in the center field, but Simmons coming in.
656
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:30,000
Simmons is under it. He has it.
657
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,000
Very, very high-price center field.
658
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,000
Al Simmons can always usually farm in left field.
659
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:42,000
Or, as you saw, the white top is open center field this afternoon with 90-minutes playing left.
660
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:50,000
Travis Jackson, short-stop of the Giants, a right-hand hitter, is next up.
661
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:54,000
They said last one of them, Jackson, was all warmed up on account of a bad knee,
662
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:58,000
but that knee is plenty down this year, and he's playing a player-of-a-game.
663
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,000
Strike, swinging.
664
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:06,000
That was a fast ball just under the skin, but Jackson took a great cut at it.
665
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:10,000
Two out, and nobody on.
666
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,000
Strike two, ball.
667
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,000
That was a nice curve ball, rather high.
668
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:19,000
Ball bounded out of sticky glove, roll, two feet, four-thirds.
669
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:23,000
Bill retrieves it and toss it back to Gomez, and we're ready to go.
670
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:27,000
Two out, nobody on. Jackson up. Strike two.
671
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,000
One-to-nothing in favor of the Master Leaguers.
672
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:35,000
Here's the pitch. Gomez takes an extra long windup this time, and here it is.
673
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:38,000
It's a ball. It's over the plate. the depth is a little bit low,
674
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:43,000
and the count on Travis Jackson is strike two and ball one.
675
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:47,000
Two out, nobody on.
676
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:51,000
And here comes strike three, swinging.
677
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,000
That was a slow cut that Jackson took at that.
678
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,000
the Master Leaguers in the second inning, no one, no hits, no errors.
679
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,000
Boardbomb.
680
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:03,000
Looks like this game is going to settle the argument about which it takes to win ball games.
681
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:09,000
Heavy hitters are great pitchers because the pitchers are tying these heavy-hitting lineups into nops this afternoon.
682
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:13,000
the National League second inning, Gomez first pitching to Berger.
683
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:17,000
Berger came up and went down on three straight balls, all of them siked,
684
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:23,000
and he swung hard at the third one and tore through a lump of the ozone above the plate and got exactly nothing at all.
685
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:29,000
Then Bill Terry came up to the tears of the fans, a very popular player, great first baseman,
686
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:34,000
great manager of the New York Giants, came up and it went to one and nothing on him.
687
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:38,000
A ball and no strikes, and then he walloped a powering high fly.
688
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:41,000
It failed way high up into the center field.
689
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:45,000
Simmons moved in under it and took it nicely for the second out.
690
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,000
Then Travis Jackson came to bat.
691
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:56,000
Travis Jackson up, and Gomez had his number two. Jackson went down swinging, retiring the National League here in the second inning.
692
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:02,000
So we come with the score one to nothing in favor of the National League into the third inning with the American League at bat.
693
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,000
the National Broadcasting Company bringing it to you.
694
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,000
Here's Tom Manning to tell you about the play-by-play here in the third inning.
695
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:15,000
the American League is one-one behind as they come to bat and Charlie Kerringer, the first Tiger second baseman, is again the leadoff man.
696
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:22,000
Time-up Charlie singles to center field, went to second on the center fielder's fumble.
697
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,000
First pitch is a foul inside.
698
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:28,000
Ball two.
699
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:36,000
That was a hook ball that went to the outside corner, and the count on Charlie Kerringer, who got them left-handed, is to a nothing.
700
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:43,000
Charlie had almost gone over to Fallerville, Michigan, May 11, 19-3.
701
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,000
Right foul.
702
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,000
Ball two and strike on.
703
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,000
You can all get a picture of Charlie.
704
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,000
He's 5'11.5 and 180 pounds.
705
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:56,000
Came to Detroit in 1945 from Toronto.
706
00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:00,000
Got a batting average, a grand average of 382 for the year.
707
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:05,000
Got to get the hole in the next one and drive it deep into right field.
708
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:11,000
And it's Marler, goes back and makes that nice running back at the edge of the box and deep right field.
709
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,000
Boy, that ball was hit right on the label.
710
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:26,000
Looks like it was going to wait for a moment, but Mike Carter turned it back with a back of the bat and dived off the center back and made a sweet running back for the first out.
711
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:29,000
One down, nobody on.
712
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,000
Tide straighter and Bill Terry.
713
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:36,000
11-6 is Fox now having a bit of a conference with Carl Hubbell.
714
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:40,000
Conference is over and Heine-Manu is coming up.
715
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,000
Last time up, Heine-Walk.
716
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:46,000
Gets the first ball, puts the crowd around second base way.
717
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:47,000
Flanky brings it up with it.
718
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:48,000
Fox is in query.
719
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,000
Manu is out.
720
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:51,000
Two men out, nobody on.
721
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:55,000
Boy, those master leaders are whipping that ball around that in field.
722
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,000
What a speed of whiting.
723
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,000
And straightly all set up right on their toes this afternoon.
724
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:07,000
Mabou gets the great ovation as he comes up for the second time.
725
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,000
Last time up, Baybrews.
726
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,000
Look out.
727
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,000
the American League is half of the third inning.
728
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:19,000
One run behind, two outs, nobody on, and Baybrews is up.
729
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:22,000
Strike, call.
730
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:28,000
Rather slow curve ball just above the knees and over the heart of the plate.
731
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,000
Baybrews decided to wait for another one.
732
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:32,000
A called strike.
733
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:34,000
One to nothing is the count.
734
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,000
the fifth ball.
735
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:40,000
That was over, just a little bit too low, and the crowd on Baybrews.
736
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,000
Ball one and strike one.
737
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:47,000
the score is one to nothing in favor of the national leaders.
738
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:50,000
First half of the third inning, two outs, nobody on.
739
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,000
Hubbell pitching, here it is.
740
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,000
It's too low.
741
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:58,000
Ball two and strike one on Baybrews.
742
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:01,000
Luke Gehry is hanging around home plate.
743
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,000
Drew is coming up there next to them.
744
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:07,000
Two outs, nobody on.
745
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:11,000
Baybrews, ball two, strike one, the pitch.
746
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,000
Oh-ho!
747
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:16,000
Over into the national league is Dugout, which is a long third base,
748
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:23,000
and that evens the count at ball two and strike two.
749
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:27,000
There's a lot of pebble out there on the national league's infield.
750
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:33,000
A lot of baseball players out there, including the MVP managers, Terry Pritz and Traylor.
751
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,000
And the captain, Travis Jackson.
752
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:38,000
Two and two, the pitch.
753
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:41,000
Ball three, that one's right, Baybrews away from the plate.
754
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:52,000
It was high inside, and now the count on the base, ball three and strike two.
755
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,000
Nobody on base and all two outs.
756
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,000
There's the windup, three and two, three and two.
757
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:02,000
Ball four, that was high inside, driving the Baybrews again out of the batter's box,
758
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:06,000
and he walks through Gary coming up.
759
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:13,000
Last time up, Gary struck out.
760
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:16,000
I don't see anybody warming up for the national league as we get.
761
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:23,000
Most possible to Phil's, Gary will allow Hubble to go along a little longer.
762
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:30,000
Gary gets strike one, this is a foul back.
763
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:38,000
Baybrews is on first base, first half of the third inning, two outs.
764
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:42,000
Jimmy Fox is hanging around home plate now.
765
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,000
Here's the pitch.
766
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,000
Get the hold of it along, smash the right field, open near the wall,
767
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,000
Tyler's over close to the wall and makes the catch, and that's all.
768
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:55,000
That was two mighty drives that inning by Scherringer and Gary,
769
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:58,000
but it's all over for the American Leagueers in the first half of the third.
770
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,000
What's the score for?
771
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,000
Well, if Gary gets pulled around just a little harder on that one,
772
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:08,000
the score, there would have been two runs in that inning because the Baybrews down on first,
773
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:14,000
Gary came up and smashed that ball hard right on the old smuzzle out on the right field.
774
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:19,000
If he had pulled it around just about 25 feet, he would have sailed over that low barrier into those right field turns.
775
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:24,000
But, Phil, well, that's what's between innings that the Mets are built on.
776
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:28,000
the first was the first man up, the Adolf Mams, the Americans in the third,
777
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:32,000
and he banged a long hard hit flat way out to the full bend in right field,
778
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:38,000
but Kyler was out there with a crack in the bat and took it on the run for a nice running catch on the first out.
779
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:42,000
Then Manouche came up. Manouche banged one, a draft cutter, down to Frisch on second.
780
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:45,000
He was out on a fast play, Frisch to Terry, and two men were gone.
781
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:48,000
the Baybs came up, two outs, nobody on.
782
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:51,000
Count went to three and two on him, and then he got a walk.
783
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:55,000
Derek came up and smacked that long one out into right field, but Kyler took that one right.
784
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:58,000
This right field is hard to measure here. the angles are peculiar on it.
785
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:01,000
Here we go into the National League share, the third inning now,
786
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:04,000
and the batter is coming into the box, and here's Dom Manning.
787
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:09,000
Gabby Hartnett, he catches with today's game, catches for the Chicago Cubs right-hand hitter,
788
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:16,000
it's first up, and on the first pitch from Gomez, he follows it up on the roof in back of home plate.
789
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:20,000
And the count on Gabby Hartnett is strike one.
790
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:23,000
Kyle Hubbell, the next hitter, has the ground ball over the pitch,
791
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:29,000
he's had down short corner and in fast, has it, whips it to Gary, and Hartnett is out.
792
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:35,000
That was a fast play by Joe Cronin, the shortstop of a lazy hopper just out of Gomez's league.
793
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:46,000
Now we have one man out in the National League half of the third inning.
794
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:50,000
He's going to have a pitch hitter for Kyle Hubbell.
795
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:56,000
Dilly Herman, a right-hand hitter, fast for Kyle Hubbell.
796
00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:00,000
Hubbell has picked his three innings and is through for the day.
797
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:04,000
If the first ball takes, the high fly out in the short left field,
798
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:08,000
Cohen going back, Van Utrend, Cohen there's under it, and has it,
799
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:12,000
for the out.
800
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,000
That was the high fly, Van Utrend and Cohen both going after it.
801
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:20,000
Now we have two men out and nobody out.
802
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:23,000
Dilly Herman hitting the first ball, pitch through short left field,
803
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:28,000
where it was taken by Joe Cronin.
804
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:32,000
Much more we have at the top of the National League is batting order coming up,
805
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:37,000
Frankie Fritz, who is responsible for the National League's advantage of one run.
806
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:43,000
He smacked that home run in the first inning, high into the upper deck of the right field stand.
807
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:48,000
Ball one, that was a driving third ball.
808
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,000
That was over but just a little bit too high.
809
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:55,000
At the top of Frankie Fritz is right one, or ball one rather.
810
00:59:55,000 --> 01:00:05,000
Ball two, a third ball is high outside and the count is two and nothing.
811
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:10,000
Two and nothing on Frankie Fritz, the manager of the St. Louis Garbage.
812
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,000
At the high foul, down toward first base,
813
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:16,000
Gehrig is going back fast over to the stand,
814
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:23,000
but gets a little too deep into the boxers and back to first base and into strike.
815
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,000
Gehrig is certainly a fighting ball player.
816
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:29,000
He dashed over to that one, never looked up until he got his hand on the little bowler
817
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,000
in front of the boxers and looked up,
818
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:36,000
but the ball is in the boxers a little too deep and the count on Frankie Fritz,
819
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:43,000
a ball two and strike one.
820
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:57,000
Last half of the third inning, you know, strike two, ball two and strike two.
821
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:00,000
Two and two, two outs, nobody on.
822
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:04,000
Ball three, that was a third ball outside
823
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:09,000
and now the count on Frankie Fritz is ball three and strike two.
824
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:12,000
the fans have settled down for just a moment now with that great excitement
825
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:17,000
that we had in the first inning.
826
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:25,000
It's a ball low outside and Frankie Fritz whacks.
827
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:29,000
Well, Meg had Fritz in the hole that time with a count of two and two,
828
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,000
but wasn't able to get the other two over.
829
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,000
Missed the corner with that third ball,
830
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:38,000
but the other one was plenty low and outside and Fritz is on first,
831
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:44,000
two outs and Pye Traynor is up.
832
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:50,000
Pye gets that nickname when he's a kid, he was always asking for Pye.
833
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:57,000
Ball one, that was a change of pace offering, a little bit high at inside.
834
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:00,000
Maxley gets batting on the last half of the third, two outs, Fritz on first.
835
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:06,000
That's a long furrow down the right field and it's a strike.
836
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,000
That was a hard smash down in the right field.
837
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:15,000
the fans all stood up as it left the bat, but it was followed by 15 or 20 yards.
838
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:18,000
Ball one and strike one.
839
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,000
Pye Traynor is up.
840
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:24,000
Manager and third baseman of the Pittsburgh Pilots.
841
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:28,000
Foul up and back.
842
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:30,000
Strike two and ball one.
843
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:35,000
That ball was about four head high.
844
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,000
Pye Traynor liked him high and he fouls right into that one,
845
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:44,000
but it was a foul back and the counter strike two and ball one.
846
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:48,000
Last half of the third inning, Maxley Leaguers won, American Leaguers nothing.
847
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:51,000
We have two outs, Frankie Fritz is on first base.
848
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:57,000
Let's-de-go manager is in the box and the count on Pye Traynor is strike two and ball one.
849
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,000
Here it is.
850
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:02,000
It's a ground ball through the center of the infield out in the center field.
851
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:10,000
Al Simmons comes up with it and he returns the ball to Farnham at second base while Frankie Fritz holds up at third.
852
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:12,000
Frankie Fritz keeps his third base standing up.
853
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:15,000
A play test for Pye Traynor.
854
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:23,000
That was a ground ball through the center of the infield and it was received by Al Simmons in center field.
855
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,000
Now we have Joey Medwick.
856
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:36,000
Joey Medwick in the stainless part coming up.
857
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:39,000
A ball low inside.
858
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:40,000
Runners on first and third.
859
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:46,000
You know, last half of the third inning, two men out.
860
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:49,000
Last time up, Medwick's stuck out.
861
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:57,000
Ball back and that evens the count of ball one and strike one.
862
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,000
Here's the picture, last half of the third inning.
863
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,000
the Master League is allowed in front by the score of one to nothing.
864
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:04,000
Pye Traynor is on first.
865
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:06,000
Frankie Fritz is on third.
866
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,000
Joe Medwick is up.
867
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,000
It's a holdout with a long pass.
868
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:11,000
Going, going, going.
869
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:12,000
Hit of the upper deck.
870
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:15,000
Off the left field stands for a home run.
871
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:18,000
Frankie Fritz off to the plate.
872
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:21,000
Pye Traynor here's Browning-Burke going in.
873
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,000
And here comes Joey Medwick.
874
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:26,000
the fans are all standing up giving Medwick a great ovation.
875
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:29,000
A long home run into the upper deck.
876
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:32,000
Off the left field stands for a home run.
877
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:36,000
the Master League are out in front by the score of one to nothing.
878
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:53,000
Listen to that crowd for a moment.
879
01:04:53,000 --> 01:05:06,000
the fans are coming over close to it and the wind is going the ball over against the trees.
880
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:11,000
And the count of Jimmy Fox's ball trees and strike two.
881
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:14,000
There's something spooky about those home runs this afternoon.
882
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:18,000
the one by Frankie Fritz in the first inning and by Joe Medwick in the third.
883
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:23,000
Those balls were hit right on the label and they sailed not into the lower deck,
884
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:28,000
but both of them were high into the upper deck.
885
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:31,000
Jimmy Fox first bat up on the fourth for the American Leagueers.
886
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:33,000
Hit that ground ball down short.
887
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:37,000
About half a jack to the basket, but to the carry and Fox is out.
888
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:39,000
With the count balls being strike two.
889
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:41,000
Fox to the ground ball down short.
890
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:45,000
Stopped way into the bat and an asking hop to Jack to the cimbit.
891
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:51,000
He's got a little bit of a hard at the tip of his tap and then flips it over to Bill Terry and Fox is out.
892
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:53,000
One down.
893
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,000
Al Simmons is up.
894
01:05:55,000 --> 01:06:00,000
Al Simmons is on the playing center field this afternoon.
895
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:06,000
Al is one of the greatest right-hand hitters of all time.
896
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:09,000
Hit the ball.
897
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:12,000
That was over the heart of the plate, but just a little bit low.
898
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:15,000
the count on Al Simmons is ball one.
899
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,000
First half of the fourth inning, you know, one out, nobody on.
900
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:19,000
Four to nothing in favor of the National Leagueers.
901
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:20,000
Four to nothing.
902
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:23,000
As a high foul over the stands and back of the plate.
903
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:30,000
And the count is ball one and it's strike one.
904
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:32,000
the new ball is tossed up.
905
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:35,000
Count Warnock, you know, is much lower.
906
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,000
That does foul Hubble.
907
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:41,000
Power, that's the goal match.
908
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:45,000
the count on Al Simmons now is ball one and strike one.
909
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:51,000
As the long, fast going, going up against the left field,
910
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:53,000
Beecher and Simmons destroying the second base.
911
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,000
the ball is panned off the wall into the hands of Medwick.
912
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:59,000
Medwick tipped the ball into Jackson and it was a two-base ball for Al Simmons.
913
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:05,000
That ball was within a yard and so of going deep into the left center field of Beecher.
914
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:08,000
And that's plenty high out there, about 25 feet high.
915
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:13,000
That was a two-base hit that anybody qualifies.
916
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:17,000
That's the first exit base hit of the afternoon for the National Leagueers.
917
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:19,000
Now they're carrying in the first man up on the ball,
918
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:22,000
James Singleton is the second on the center field as well.
919
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:28,000
Now we have one man out, Al Simmons on second base and Joe Fallon is up.
920
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:33,000
Joe Fallon, shortstop and manager of the American Leagueers this afternoon,
921
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:36,000
as well as being manager of the Washington Center Base.
922
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,000
the first six for Wamakee.
923
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:41,000
And with that down left field, with the base hit,
924
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:45,000
south to inside about a foot inside, there's a ball for Medwick who's Jackson.
925
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:49,000
Fallon was halfway down a second, but James was flying and went back to first.
926
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:56,000
And so Al Simmons was down the third base, up right on going.
927
01:07:56,000 --> 01:08:00,000
If anybody's warming up, they must be.
928
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:07,000
Farther, they are way down at center field.
929
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:09,000
All right, one of the National Leagueers warming up.
930
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:12,000
Only have two men out in the first half of the fourth inning.
931
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:18,000
Joe Fallon is on first and Earl Averill is batting for Lexington Gohmans.
932
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:24,000
Averill, you know, hits them left-handed.
933
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:30,000
Fallon Wamakee, right-hander is in the box, the pitch. Fallon, a back ball is high inside.
934
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:37,000
One to nothing is the count.
935
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:39,000
It's funny, Joe Fallon is a sense of steel.
936
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:44,000
Now Averill will be declared out. He really wouldn't be in the ball game officially.
937
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:48,000
Ball one is the count on Averill.
938
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:55,000
Averill is a pitch. It's too low. Ball two.
939
01:08:55,000 --> 01:09:02,000
Wamakee, right-hander, big ball, right-hander, out there in the box for the National Leagueers having the plate.
940
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:08,000
Fallon Hubbell.
941
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:13,000
He's on the rubber again, ready to face Averill with a count two and up in the pitch.
942
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:16,000
Ball three, a back ball is too low.
943
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:21,000
Charlie Gilling is hanging around home plate.
944
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:28,000
Three and nothing is the count on Averill.
945
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:36,000
Working that ball low outside for Earl.
946
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:39,000
Three and nothing is the count. Two outs, Fallon is on first.
947
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:46,000
It is fake foul. Ball three and fake one.
948
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:50,000
That was a burning fast foul right down the old alley, felt high.
949
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:53,000
Three and one it is.
950
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:56,000
Fallon is on first, two men out, first half of the fourth.
951
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:57,000
the pitch.
952
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:02,000
Wings into ball, fast going, going, going, deep into right field.
953
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:09,000
And it turns off, defense out there, Averill is down and second, Fallon is down and third. Here's the throw, it's closest, 35 he's safe.
954
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:12,000
A mighty three base hit for Earl Averill.
955
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:15,000
And Fallon crosses the plate.
956
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:19,000
the National Leagueers four, the American Leagueers two.
957
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:24,000
Earl Averill is on the field of the Cleveland Indians with that count, ball three and fake one.
958
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:28,000
He took a toehold on that dribble coming down the old alley and forward and he hit it.
959
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:33,000
He hit it and he hit it to the wall.
960
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:35,000
That was beautiful to watch.
961
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:40,000
That ball was relayed from Tyler to Berger in third base.
962
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:43,000
Earl Averill with a beautiful hook drive beating the throw.
963
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:48,000
Harold Jackson down there raising net at third base.
964
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:50,000
Whistling and what have you.
965
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,000
Four to two in favor of the National Leagueers.
966
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:54,000
Two outs, Averill on third.
967
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:58,000
Charlie Kerringer with the Detroit Tigers is up a left hand batter.
968
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:02,000
One single out of two hooks to the plate.
969
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:08,000
the pitch, hit the ball high inside.
970
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:12,000
Mighty Manu is just hanging around.
971
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:16,000
Well, this may develop into a slug first before it's all over, eh?
972
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:18,000
Here's the pitch.
973
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:26,000
This is like a fast ball right in there and the count on Charlie Kerringer, ball one and fake one.
974
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:31,000
Charlie Kerringer, you know, is one of the most likable ball players in the major leagues.
975
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:35,000
Never has a bad word to say about anybody.
976
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:38,000
Ball one and fake one is his count.
977
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:43,000
Ball two, that was a curve ball that missed the outside corner to a left hand sticker
978
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:47,000
and the count is ball two and fake one.
979
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:54,000
Here's half of the fourth inning to score the National Leagueers four, American Leagueers two.
980
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:58,000
Two men out, Averill on third, ball two and fake one and there it is.
981
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:02,000
Ball three, ball outside and the count is three and one.
982
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:10,000
Mighty Manu just hanging around home plate, gets up now and Moses Gauze is down and waves that bat a few times.
983
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:19,000
Gabby Hartnett walks out to have a bit of a conference with his battering mate, Lon Warnocky.
984
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:25,000
You know, this battering that we have in the mouth of the National Leagueers represents the century of progress
985
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:29,000
and the city of Chicago in a big way.
986
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:37,000
Gabby Hartnett, a fine catcher and Lon Warnocky, a very, very fine right hand pitcher.
987
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:43,000
First half of the fourth inning, two out, Averill on third, Geringer up ball three, strike one, the pick.
988
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:49,000
Hips too wide and Geringer walks, Charlie Geringer walks, swinging highly Manu.
989
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:58,000
the mighty left fielder, the slugger, other Washington Senators is coming up.
990
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:01,000
Charlie Geringer is doing right well by himself this afternoon.
991
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:07,000
A base knock the first time up and the third time up to get a base on ball.
992
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:12,000
Now we have Geringer on first, Averill on third, two runs behind.
993
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:15,000
Mighty Manu is up, a left hand batter with Lon Warnocky 50.
994
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:18,000
Here it is, strike one.
995
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:25,000
He takes a terrific cut and misses.
996
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,000
Strike one is the count on Mighty Manu.
997
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:31,000
Anything can happen now, everybody on the edge of their seats here waiting for it.
998
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,000
Strike one, the pick.
999
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:39,000
It's a very high infield fly over in foul territory now with Piper in the sun waiting for it,
1000
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:41,000
feeling his high de-hazard.
1001
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:44,000
That's all for the American Leaguers in the fourth inning.
1002
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:46,000
That was another swell inning.
1003
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:51,000
the score now at the end of three and one half innings, the National Leaguers 12, American Leaguers 2.
1004
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:54,000
Come in for it.
1005
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:59,000
Warnocky came in to pick for the National League in the American League half of the fourth inning
1006
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:06,000
and he first had to face Fox who came in the up and the count went to three and two and then he banged a hard grass cutter down to Travis Jackson
1007
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:11,000
who fielded it very fast out of the cross-exterior and got it to the back just about two feet ahead of the runner.
1008
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:19,000
Then came up, Simmons banged that ball hard high and far way up the left field stand stand
1009
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:24,000
and just missed clearing by about one yard the barrier above the lower deck.
1010
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:26,000
He got a two-bagger on it.
1011
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:30,000
So the man on base, one out and one on and Soren at that.
1012
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:34,000
Soren smacked one to left field just about two feet in side the left field foul line,
1013
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:36,000
soren Simmons a thing over Joe Soren.
1014
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:42,000
Dickie up and he bowled to the upper deck at the long strike and then went down on call strike.
1015
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:46,000
Averill came up, banged that ball about 260 yards into right field.
1016
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:50,000
There's a 455-foot marker out there about 10 yards short of it.
1017
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:52,000
A very, very hard hit ball.
1018
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:56,000
A three-bagger scoring corner and brings the score up to four to two.
1019
01:14:56,000 --> 01:15:01,000
Gerriger came up and walked, then managed to pass a foul, a very high, powering high foul.
1020
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:05,000
Slater moved over from third base and took it for the third out.
1021
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:10,000
Two runs in in that inning on Lon Warnocky.
1022
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:16,000
He hit Simmons, Cronin, and Averill.
1023
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:18,000
Three hits, two runs, three hits, and no errors.
1024
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:24,000
Now we go into the National League after fourth with a new pitcher coming in for the American League.
1025
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:30,000
It's the big red, Charlie Ruffing, who's coming in for the American League here as we go into the National League after fourth.
1026
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:33,000
And here's Tom Manning to give it to you.
1027
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:37,000
Wally Berger is first up with Charlie Ruffing picking.
1028
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:46,000
the first is a foul high inside, and Wally Berger is forced to drop to the ground.
1029
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:52,000
Wally Berger playing centerfield this afternoon for the National League.
1030
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:55,000
Last time up, Wally struck out.
1031
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:59,000
A tip foul that comes off Bill Dickey's shoulder and rolls back to the stands.
1032
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:04,000
And the count on Wally, four-one, and the strike one.
1033
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:11,000
Bill Terry coming up next.
1034
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:14,000
Wally Berger is first up, you know, in the last half of the fourth inning.
1035
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:16,000
the count four winner, strike one.
1036
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:24,000
Strike two, Wally Berger has won that time that was high over his head.
1037
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:28,000
the umpire has evaded the game for a moment to brush off home plate.
1038
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:30,000
Wally fell down.
1039
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:35,000
He picked all the dirt out of the platter and now it's all washed up and ready for another deal.
1040
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:37,000
Strike two and foul one.
1041
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:41,000
Terry, the high fly to the infield.
1042
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:44,000
It's going foul with Fox under it.
1043
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:45,000
Fox has it.
1044
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:48,000
He almost got that that's going up from the crowd.
1045
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:53,000
Fox has his very bright sun there above a third base.
1046
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:57,000
Jimmy Fox is there with his glove, feeling sun from his eyes,
1047
01:16:57,000 --> 01:17:01,000
and staggered into foul third, Terry, and juggled the ball for a moment,
1048
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:03,000
but he hung out with him and that's what counts.
1049
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:04,000
One man off, nobody on.
1050
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:06,000
Bill Terry is up.
1051
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:15,000
Terry, you know, hits him left hand.
1052
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:17,000
Strike one.
1053
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:21,000
This game is being broadcast and opened to the public grounds in New York City
1054
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:24,000

1056
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:30,000

Last half of the fourth inning, one man off and nobody on.
1058

01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:48,000
Bill Terry is up and Thomas got to his next.
1060
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:54,000
There's a foul into the seat along third base there with everybody ducking.
1061
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:59,000
That was a line smash, one of those ding, ding, dings.
1062
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:03,000
Now the count on manager Bill is strike two.
1063
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:08,000
Last half of the fourth inning, one out, nobody on.
1064

1065
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:18,000
Has a long smash upstairs in left field but it's far out and the count remains strike two.
1066
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:22,000
Charlie Ruppey, you know, is a big husky fellow.
1067
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:31,000
He's around 200 pounds, six feet one.
1068
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:33,000

the line drives into the off-field of base block.
1071
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:49,000
If the single four, Bill Terry.
1072
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:52,000

1079
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:43,000

Travis Jackson is up, red ruffing, hitting, count of two and two and there you have it.
1089
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:32,000
the line up is down and here it is.
1090
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:35,000
Ball ran and the band's over.

All right, Dorsey on a three ball, Ruppey takes the line up time and he stands there facing center field.
1093
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:49,000
Ruffing the old ball up front.
1094
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:51,000
Out back in the boxers but ready to go.
1095
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:53,000
Last half of the fourth, one out, Terry on first.
1096
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:55,000
Two and two on the hitter, Jackson.
1097
01:20:55,000 --> 01:21:07,000
Hit it, ball up and back, count remains two and two.
1098
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:12,000
Ball two and strike two.
1099
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:22,000
Those are just two men but if you mind to again that every field of the Bulls on this afternoon is occupied very close to 60,000 fans are out here for this important all-star game.
1100
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:27,000
Now ready to go, one man out, Terry on first, count on Jackson with two and two.
1101
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:35,000
Here it is, hit the ball, running high and now it's three and two.
1102
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:37,000
One man out, Terry on first.
1103
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:40,000
As you can see now he's halfway to second base.
1104
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:44,000
He'll always do that of course with one out.
1105
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:48,000
That's three and two on Jackson.
1106
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:56,000
He goes down, he swings at the very high fly, short left center field, Abel coming in fast, Abel is under it, he has it.
1107
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:58,000
Came a long way for that one.
1108
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:00,000
Now he has two men out.
1109
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:03,000
Bill Kelly was off with roughing both of them at times.
1110
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:08,000
All the way down to second base and had to hurry back to first.
1111
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:10,000
Now we have Gabby Hartnett coming up.
1112
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:15,000
Two men out.
1113
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:22,000
Fred Ruffing of the New York Yankees, the right-hander is in the box.
1114
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:26,000
Having replaced Lefty Gomez.
1115
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:34,000
Here it is, Spike swinging.
1116
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:38,000
Last count of the fourth inning to score, National League is four, the American League is two.
1117
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:40,000
Two men out, Bill Kelly on first.
1118
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:44,000
Here it is, Spike two swinging.
1119
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:47,000
Fred Ruffing has 20th speed this afternoon.
1120
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:52,000
the two strikes to Gabby Hartnett were burning soft balls about letter high.
1121
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:55,000
Hartnett swinging very hard at both of them.
1122
01:22:55,000 --> 01:23:01,000
Here it is, he waits one, and the count is two and one.
1123
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:05,000
Spike two and ball one.
1124
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:09,000
Ruffing looks over to first base, then takes a long stretch.
1125
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:12,000
Here it is, he waits another one, it's too high.
1126
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:19,000
the second-to-last count on Gabby Hartnett is two and two.
1127
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:27,000
the National Broadcasting Company is swinging in this game from the forward round in New York.
1128
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:32,000
Now the two and two of ground ball down third base with Popkasset to throw.
1129
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:35,000
Beautiful throw, letter high to Kerrigan, Gabby Hartnett is out.
1130
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:42,000
the ball for the National Leaguers in the fourth inning and the score, National Leaguers four, American Leaguers two.
1131
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:45,000
As we get ready to go into the first half of the fifth inning.
1132
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:46,000
Give it up for it.
1133
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:50,000
And in this most colorful of all baseball games, these colorful players,
1134
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:56,000
landing every spot on the diamond and every name in the batting order,
1135
01:23:56,000 --> 01:24:01,000
sparkling with the ability which they've shown and demonstrated and tied it up in the record books.
1136
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:06,000
Jackson came into pitch for the American League as the National Leaguers came up in the fourth.
1137
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:09,000
And Ruffing had Berger to face first.
1138
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:13,000
Berger fouls very high and Popkasset just back of third measured it,
1139
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:17,000
having to warm the sun out of his eyes with the big miss as it came down.
1140
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:22,000
He almost misjudged it, had to leap back about a foot as it came down into his glove and it was one out.
1141
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:27,000
Terry up and Terry got a ringing single in left field, went down to first.
1142
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:33,000
Jackson came up, had a lot of fouls and then banged one out the center field where Earl Averill took care of that.
1143
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:36,000
Then Hartnett at bat threw out one arm.
1144
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:39,000
He banged one heart down to third where Popkasset took it.
1145
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:42,000
John McCloss to Gehrig, retiring the National League in the fourth.
1146
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:45,000
And the score is four for the National Leaguers and two for the American Leaguers.
1147
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:48,000
the National Broadcocks and Company is bringing this to you,
1148
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:50,000
the Polos round as we go into the fifth inning.
1149
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:53,000
Here's Tom Manning to give you the play by Braden Gipson.
1150
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:57,000
Bob Larnaking in offense, double-cubs is the pitcher. Baybose is up.
1151
01:24:57,000 --> 01:24:59,000
the first pitch to the Bay.
1152
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:00,000
It's a strike.
1153
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:04,000
the Bay is blown away from home plate and now he's talking to the umpire.
1154
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:09,000
But they guard with this strike.
1155
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:13,000
Baybose looked out the first time up and walked in the third inning.
1156
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:15,000
Strike one on the Bay.
1157
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:16,000
the pitcher.
1158
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:18,000
Take two, ball.
1159
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:24,000
Again, Baybose, blown away from the plate and the crowd is two and nothing.
1160
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:30,000
Baybose leaning on his bat now about eight or ten feet away from home plate
1161
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:32,000
and is talking with the umpire.
1162
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:34,000
And the crowd is two and nothing at all.
1163
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:43,000
the Baybose the first man up in the fifth inning.
1164
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:47,000
Blue Gage, Columbia Blue coming up next.
1165
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:50,000
Two and nothing on the Bay the fifth.
1166
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:54,000
Ball inside.
1167
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:58,000
Down on Baybose now, strike two and ball one.
1168
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:01,000
the umpire is waiting for a moment while he gets off into the whiff room
1169
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:09,000
and presses off home plate.
1170
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:11,000
Twenty-two to fifty and oh. Strike two and ball one.
1171
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:12,000
Here it is.
1172
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:13,000
Ball two.
1173
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:15,000
the back ball is high inside.
1174
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:25,000
Baybose tucked away from home plate and the crowd is two and two.
1175
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:27,000
Ball two and strike two on the Bay.
1176
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:30,000
First man up for the American Leagues in the fifth inning.
1177
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:33,000
Ball three.
1178
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:40,000
That was a fast start over the plate to just a little bit low.
1179
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:50,000
the heavy heart bet, but perhaps that was over, but the count is three and two.
1180
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:54,000
Al Stratus walked in there now holding up his hand, declaring time for a moment,
1181
01:26:54,000 --> 01:27:02,000
yelling for time while he's asking the umpire to take a look at that ball.
1182
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:06,000
Ball was all right so Al Stratus getting the front steer,
1183
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:11,000
but he didn't take it, he's tipping his hat to the Bay.
1184
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:12,000
Three and two is the count on Baybose.
1185
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:16,000
First man up for the American Leagues in the fifth inning.
1186
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:17,000
Here's the windup.
1187
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:19,000
Three and two to pitch.
1188
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:20,000
Hit the ball at two-one.
1189
01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:25,000
Baybose fast.
1190
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:28,000
With a count of three and two, Baybose to the line, four-off drive,
1191
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:38,000
and he's now 30-pound first base and Larabee to Gary of Columbia is next up.
1192
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:44,000
Here I see a foul on by Jimmy Fox.
1193
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:53,000
And the lead team remains the same, infield, Lee, Perry, Fritz, Jackson and Swainer.
1194
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:58,000
On warning, here's Adam Knox now having to replace Tom Hubbell who makes three great innings.
1195
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:01,000
All ready to go now, ready to work on Gary.
1196
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:05,000
the first pitch, hit low, outside, ball run.
1197
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:09,000
Gary, that's not old Scalile on the plate.
1198
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:14,000
So he's just a big fellow.
1199
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:15,000
Well that is a count here.
1200
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:22,000
Fast ball to the foul side, ball to the plate, and the count on Gary, here's foul two.
1201
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:31,000
First half of the first inning, National League is just two runs ahead, four to two.
1202
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:34,000
Robert Johnson is coaching the first base, Al Jackson serves.
1203
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:37,000
the pitch to Gary with a count of two and nothing.
1204
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:39,000
He takes almost a half swing,
1205
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:43,000
whaps the umpire foul to the foul on the count of three and nothing.
1206
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:49,000
the players being referred now to umpire stack, out here second base.
1207
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:53,000
Maggie Fritz is talking with stack as is Ty Fraynor.
1208
01:28:53,000 --> 01:29:00,000
That's a clean with the arbitrator behind the plate and the count of three and nothing.
1209
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:06,000
Gary just almost a half swing of that ball.
1210
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:09,000
Three and nothing, they lose on first, nobody else but Fritz.
1211
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:15,000
Fakes foul.
1212
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:17,000
That was a fast ball right in there.
1213
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:19,000
Lonnie Warnock, he's talking to them as much as he can today.
1214
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:22,000
Who's afraid of you? Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?
1215
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:24,000
Now it's three and one.
1216
01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:32,000
the pitch to high fly a bit of a stand and light for the foul.
1217
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:34,000
That was far funny.
1218
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:37,000
And the count on Luke Gary gets three and two.
1219
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:39,000
Jimmy Fox is coming up next.
1220
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:42,000
Kermit crosses out a new ball.
1221
01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:44,000
Hyman flips it down to Ty Fraynor.
1222
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:46,000
Ty takes his glove off.
1223
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:53,000
Gives it a bit of a massage and then tosses it over to Lon Warnock.
1224
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:58,000
Warnock gives a right hand set to the count of three and two on Luke Gary with Babe Ruth on first.
1225
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:01,000
Result of a base on balls, nobody else.
1226
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:04,000
Here it is.
1227
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:08,000
It's two and Gary walks.
1228
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:13,000
With the count of three and two, Warnock set a fast ball down the alley.
1229
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:17,000
But it was glory and now we have Gary on first.
1230
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:19,000
Babe Ruth on second.
1231
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:30,000
And manager Bill and Terry, Ty Fraynor, Mikey Fritz, Jackson and Hartnett all walking out to the pitchers' top for a conference with Lon Warnock.
1232
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:37,000
Lonock is by three and going out of the box.
1233
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:49,000
Jeff Lon Warnock is walking slowly, nonchalantly over toward the not-so-regious dugout, which is located along the first baseline.
1234
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:56,000
50 Gene is running down the center field of both ends to warm up.
1235
01:30:56,000 --> 01:31:01,000
So we'll probably have Al Mungo.
1236
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:02,000
That's coming in.
1237
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:06,000
That's not official, is Jeff?
1238
01:31:06,000 --> 01:31:08,000
Still a bit of a conference down there.
1239
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:11,000
So in the front of it, many friends have just tuned in.
1240
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:14,000
Let us run over some of the highlights of the play.
1241
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:20,000
You know, it's a long way down there to the full fence in center field here at the Polar Bound in New York City.
1242
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:24,000
To be exact, it's 455 feet.
1243
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:32,000
In the very first inning, the started getting a first-step pass, single pass, break up break, and took second on the center field.
1244
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:37,000
the first-step pass was a double-steel, but right about east-west.
1245
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:38,000
Gary got that.
1246
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:45,000
When Gary got a cover three and two, Gary threw him in with the double-steel when Gary struck out.
1247
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:51,000
the second-step pass was right over there for the not-so-regious because Jimmy Foxx, the great right-hand, hit him in the stomach.
1248
01:31:51,000 --> 01:32:02,000
He was hit in the stomach with a double-steadle, and with the interception of his pennies on the end of the way, ran in and then strapped him on the back, so in that he could shoot him.
1249
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:06,000
the second-step pass was right about east-west, Gary got that.
1250
01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:10,000
the second-step pass was really touching baseball.
1251
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:21,000
the National Leaguers half of the first break, left the hip break, left the rim of the row, headed south.
1252
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:24,000
One of them left the ball, high into the upper deck, over the 395-foot line, and right field.
1253
01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:26,000
That's quite a crowd here at the Polar Con.
1254
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:40,000
Four to nothing. Finally in the National Leaguers half of the third inning, they jumped three runs across the plate, showing Medlich coming up with two on, slapped one into the upper deck, and the left field forfeited for a homer, putting the National Leaguers out in front.
1255
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:45,000
Four to nothing. But the American Leaguers came back and scored two runs in the fourth inning.
1256
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:49,000
Leslie Gomez started for the American Leaguers, and he hit three in.
1257
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:52,000
He was replaced by Charlie Ruffing, also of the New York Yankees.
1258
01:32:52,000 --> 01:33:04,000
the great Carl Hubbell, great in speed he is. After watching him in the first game of that World Series last ball, then watching him again this afternoon, striking out those boys, he struck out the six men in three innings.
1259
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:13,000
That's a lot of strikeouts with players like this in the game. He certainly is a great pitcher. Make no mistake about it.
1260
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:23,000
Bob Waterkin came on. the American Leaguers scored two runs in the fourth inning, and now as we earn the fifth inning with runners on first and second, nobody out. Two runs behind.
1261
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:32,000
Rueb is on second. Gerrig is on first, and Jimmy Fox, the right-hander, is coming up.
1262
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:39,000
Dan Mungo, M-U-N-G-O. Mungo is the new National Leaguers pitcher. He's a right-hander.
1263
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:43,000
Fox hits the first ball, hits a long drive into right centerfield, and the base hits.
1264
01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:46,000
They move to pounding third base. Here's the throw.
1265
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:51,000
Gerrig bounce, second, coming to third. Gerrig bounce, third, the throw. But Gerrig goes back to third base.
1266
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:58,000
They move across the plate, and Fox drops that first. A single for Jimmy Fox, and a long single to the first.
1267
01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:04,000
the right centerfield. the score, the National Leaguers four, the American Leaguers three.
1268
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:15,000
Now we have Fox on first base. Gerrig on third base. Al Simmons is coming up.
1269
01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:23,000
That was a low line fast deep into right centerfield. Nice feeling out there by Wally Berger, too.
1270
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:29,000
Now we have Al Simmons, another right-hander, coming up. Mungo, you know, is the National Leaguers pitcher.
1271
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:34,000
Here it is. Ball one. A fast ball is too low.
1272
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:40,000
What if the ball came again now? For a while, Aaron McDonough, a bad for the American Leaguers, with a score of four to nothing.
1273
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:46,000
Two runs last inning, they have one man. McDonough is on first and third, and nobody else.
1274
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:52,000
Al Simmons is up. Ball one. A down ball. Down he keeps. George Gepson comes up with a pitch.
1275
01:34:52,000 --> 01:35:03,000
Oh, the second is a bit high. He pulls Frankie Pritz off the bag. Gerrig forces the play, and the score is five-four.
1276
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:08,000
the official ruling, I cannot believe, will be a mirror. It is scored at the hip, correct.
1277
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:15,000
That was the ground ball between Traynor and Jackson. Jackson went a bit deep, just far to his right, and he bagged the ball.
1278
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:22,000
He went off balance. He threw the second base, and Frankie Pritz had to leap into the air to spare the ball.
1279
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:30,000
But we believe that Jimmy Foxx will have beaten the score, and so it is scored as a base hit for Al Simmons.
1280
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:38,000
Score is four-four, you know, and Manning is good. Coleman, a right-hander, is coming up.
1281
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:45,000
Hunter is on first and second. Nobody else. Coleman attempts to bump into Pop Fier. Oh, it's a full-back, and what a catch he makes.
1282
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:54,000
That's beautiful catch. Joe Coleman attempts to stop the fight, and he pops the fireball up, and Javi Harkness rips off his mask,
1283
01:35:54,000 --> 01:36:00,000
and went back and stumbling, took the ball on the edge of his throat, had it finally rolled into the center,
1284
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:05,000
and Javi gagged and striked it tomorrow, but was able to hang on to it for the first out.
1285
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:11,000
the letters were unable to advance, so we have Al Simmons on first, Jimmy Foxx on second.
1286
01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:16,000
One man out, hand-tatcher, Phil Zickey of the New York Jankies coming up.
1287
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:22,000
What a ball game. What catchers, what plays, what plays.
1288
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:29,000
Here it is, a ball outside. That was a burning fastball that was outside.
1289
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:37,000
Up right up there, ready to hit. One and nothing is the count. One man out in the fifth inning.
1290
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:46,000
the pitch hits too low inside, and the count on Phil Zickey is ball two.
1291
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:51,000
That familiar whistle of Al's jack is ringing through the polo ground.
1292
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:54,000
Boy, how he can whistle when he's coaching there at third base.
1293
01:36:54,000 --> 01:37:02,000
the count on Phil Zickey, ball two, the pitch hits outside, ball three.
1294
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:07,000
Ball three is the count.
1295
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:10,000
Earl Averill coming up next.
1296
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:16,000
That means that the pitcher will hit in Heidi Manish's spot, second.
1297
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:18,000
Strike called.
1298
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:27,000
Mungo aimed that one right down the alley so high. And now the count on Phil Zickey, a left-hand batter, ball three, strike one.
1299
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:34,000
Al Simmons is on first, Jimmy Foxx on second. Fifth inning, one out.
1300
01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:38,000
Strike called.
1301
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:49,000
Dan Mungo aimed that one right down through the heart of the potter, hand hits three and two.
1302
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:53,000
Three balls and two strikes. Runners on first and second. Will they go? Yes, they will.
1303
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:59,000
Let it go. It's a ball outside, and the bases are loaded.
1304
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:02,000
the American League attack this afternoon with one man out.
1305
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:08,000
This is the third occasion we have had a chance to observe it with one man out. Runners on first and second.
1306
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:11,000
And three and two on batter. They are off with the pitcher's motion.
1307
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:16,000
That time, Foxx and Simmons were off with the count. Three and two.
1308
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:22,000
Now we have the sacks loaded, and Earl Averill is coming up.
1309
01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:25,000
This is Earl Averill who has that white eagler pole.
1310
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:31,000
He's going to keep right centerfield when he would end his instruction to batter for the rest of the goal man.
1311
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:35,000
Earl Averill hits the left hand and the bases loaded. One out.
1312
01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:38,000
Hits the ball. It was too low. That was over the plate.
1313
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:43,000
Averill started to step into it, but changed his mind and it was declared a ball.
1314
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:45,000
Low.
1315
01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:47,000
Fitz, load.
1316
01:38:47,000 --> 01:38:52,000
Dixion first, Simmons on second, Foxx on third. One off. Here's the pitch.
1317
01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:53,000
Hits the ball.
1318
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:58,000
Low outside, and the count on Averill is two and nothing.
1319
01:38:58,000 --> 01:39:01,000
Now look over to the bench now. Get a signal from Maddox.
1320
01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:07,000
You'll call this whether or not you hit this triple when it comes down the alley.
1321
01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:10,000
That noise is signals of course. We can't relay it to you, but we'll see anyway.
1322
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:12,000
Ball two. Here it is.
1323
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:14,000
He swings. Hits it.
1324
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:17,000
And five inside the first base bag at the base hit.
1325
01:39:17,000 --> 01:39:19,000
Foxx is scored. Simmons is scored.
1326
01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:23,000
Here comes Dixie, the third. It's a two base hit for Averill.
1327
01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:26,000
Foxx and Simmons have scored.
1328
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:29,000
Bill Dixie is on third base. Averill is on second.
1329
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:34,000
That is scored as a double for Earl Averill, the great middle center fielder, the Cleveland Indians.
1330
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:39,000
He steps in there as a substitute batter in the fourth inning and smacks out a long triple.
1331
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:45,000
And coming up here now in the fifth inning with a bag loaded and with a count two and nothing,
1332
01:39:45,000 --> 01:39:49,000
the old triple came down the alley and he smacked it right between the eyes
1333
01:39:49,000 --> 01:39:53,000
and sailed it down the right field ball line for two bases.
1334
01:39:53,000 --> 01:40:03,000
And now sending Foxx and Simmons across the plate and putting the American League team out and struck by the score of 64.
1335
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:05,000
Yes indeed it's a ball game.
1336
01:40:05,000 --> 01:40:09,000
Now we have Bill Dixie on third base. Earl Averill on second.
1337
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:14,000
One man out. Dan Mungo is going to remain on the pitching box.
1338
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:16,000
Steiner, Perry, and Hartnett were out there.
1339
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:18,000
Charlie Kerringham is up.
1340
01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:23,000
A baseball strategy. That meeting, from that meeting comes a strategy that Charlie Kerringham,
1341
01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:27,000
a left-hand batter, shall be purposely passed.
1342
01:40:27,000 --> 01:40:31,000
the count is ball two, ball three.
1343
01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:33,000
the bases will again be loaded.
1344
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:45,000
Charlie Ruffing, who is also a great hitter, is going to back for himself.
1345
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:47,000
Kerringham was purposely passed.
1346
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:52,000
Charlie Kerringham is doing right by all the single-issue bases on balls out of four trips to the plate.
1347
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:01,000
Bases loaded. Ruffing is up.
1348
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:04,000
the first pitch is right swinging.
1349
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:06,000
Bill Dixie is on third.
1350
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:09,000
Earl Averill is on second.
1351
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:12,000
Charlie Kerringham is on first.
1352
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:15,000
One man out. Six to four of the American Leaguers.
1353
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:19,000
At the ball, a hook ball hits the outside corner of the plate.
1354
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:23,000
And the count is ball one and straight one.
1355
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:27,000
Dan Mungo, right-hander of the National League, is in the box.
1356
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:29,000
the windup is the pitch.
1357
01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:32,000
Hit too high outside. Ball two.
1358
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:37,000
Ball two and straight one.
1359
01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:42,000
First half of the fifth inning, six to four in favor of the American Leaguers.
1360
01:41:42,000 --> 01:41:47,000
And the count on Charlie Ruffing. Ball two and straight one.
1361
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:51,000
Ball three. A back ball is low inside.
1362
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:54,000
That one's for Charlie Ruffing out of the box.
1363
01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:57,000
And the count is ball three and straight one.
1364
01:41:57,000 --> 01:42:01,000
Dave Rousen hanging around home plate.
1365
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:07,000
Ball three and straight one is the count.
1366
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:10,000
Here's the windup. the bases loaded. One out.
1367
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:12,000
He swings. He misses.
1368
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:15,000
Three and two is the count.
1369
01:42:16,000 --> 01:42:19,000
the notice game is coming to you from the Polo Grounds in New York City
1370
01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:23,000
and being sent to you by the National Broadcasting Company.
1371
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:25,000
Bases loaded. One out.
1372
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:28,000
Three and two on the hitter. the pitch.
1373
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:31,000
It's a ground ball. It's a base hitter. the left field.
1374
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:33,000
Vicki has scored. Aberellas grounding third.
1375
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:36,000
Ledwick has retrieved the ball. Vicki's in the second base.
1376
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:38,000
Kerringham stops that second.
1377
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:41,000
Bill Vicki and Earl Aberell cross the plate.
1378
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:45,000
Makes his score eight to four in favor of the American League.
1379
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:47,000
Ruffing on first base.
1380
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:52,000
Darley Kerringham is on second and one man out.
1381
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:56,000
Bill Kerring and Frankie Fritz have passed into the pitcher's box
1382
01:42:56,000 --> 01:43:00,000
and are having a bit of a conference with Dan Mundell.
1383
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:06,000
That's six runs this inning for the American Leaguers.
1384
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:09,000
May Bruce is up there. One man out, you know.
1385
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:11,000
Runners on first and second.
1386
01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:13,000
It's the first half of the fifth inning.
1387
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:19,000
60,000 folks yelling in stone's court.
1388
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:22,000
Oh, he takes a mighty swing and misses.
1389
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:24,000
Psych one.
1390
01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:28,000
the big babe wasn't kidding on that last strike though.
1391
01:43:28,000 --> 01:43:30,000
I want to tell you.
1392
01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:34,000
Psych one is the count on the base, you know.
1393
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:37,000
Bale, it was too high on the outside.
1394
01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:40,000
Ball one and strike one.
1395
01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:44,000
Marathing Lou Kerring hanging around home plate.
1396
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:49,000
Ball one, strike one, the pitch.
1397
01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:51,000
the ball to down first.
1398
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:56,000
Kerring picks the ball up, steps on first.
1399
01:43:56,000 --> 01:44:00,000
For the put out, an assist as the mother's advancing.
1400
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:02,000
May Bruce is still running with the reference fair.
1401
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:06,000
Now that was a ball that was right on the line.
1402
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:08,000
Took their time on crawling that one.
1403
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:11,000
Kerring took that ball and was bounding right over the sack
1404
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:13,000
and stepped on the back for the put out of.
1405
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:15,000
May Bruce on assistant.
1406
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:18,000
Kerring went to third and Ruffing went to second.
1407
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:21,000
Now we have Kerring coming up with two men out.
1408
01:44:23,000 --> 01:44:26,000
Right down the old alley for a called strike.
1409
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:31,000
That's going to put Kerring down there at all.
1410
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:34,000
That was Fox coming up back.
1411
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:37,000
Swings and misses, strike two.
1412
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:45,000
Strike two is the count, two men out,
1413
01:44:45,000 --> 01:44:47,000
runners on first and second.
1414
01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:49,000
Here it is.
1415
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:51,000
Strike three, swinging.
1416
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:54,000
That was a low curve ball down around the knees
1417
01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:57,000
as Kerring took a mighty put out and missed.
1418
01:44:57,000 --> 01:44:59,000
Come in fourth bar.
1419
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:01,000
Here's a fast review of that hot fifth inning
1420
01:45:01,000 --> 01:45:03,000
and what a hot fifth inning it was.
1421
01:45:03,000 --> 01:45:05,000
Bruce up and back to face Warnocky and he won't.
1422
01:45:05,000 --> 01:45:07,000
Kerring comes up and he won't.
1423
01:45:07,000 --> 01:45:08,000
Fungo is setting to replace Warnocky.
1424
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:10,000
Fox comes up to bat and that's one.
1425
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:12,000
To the right for a single scoring move.
1426
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:13,000
Kerring going to third.
1427
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:15,000
Simmons comes to bat to go on and nobody else.
1428
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:17,000
It's a short traction throw.
1429
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:19,000
Second scoring the tying run.
1430
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:21,000
Kerring coming in, Fox going to second.
1431
01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:24,000
Jackson did a great job at even stopping that ball
1432
01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:26,000
and trying to stop it off balance.
1433
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:28,000
It was scored as a hit for Simmons.
1434
01:45:28,000 --> 01:45:30,000
Thorn came up and bowled out to Hartman.
1435
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:32,000
Dickey at bat walks filling the bag and Avril came up,
1436
01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:34,000
doubles the right field, scoring Simmons and Fox.
1437
01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:36,000
Then Geirger came to bat, walks loading the bases,
1438
01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:39,000
roughing game up and a nice one, a huck when they left field,
1439
01:45:39,000 --> 01:45:41,000
scoring Avril and Dickey.
1440
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:43,000
Bruce at bat, two on and one out.
1441
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:46,000
He smacks one nice down the first baseline to Bill Terry.
1442
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:48,000
Bill Terry took it just about two feet off the bag,
1443
01:45:48,000 --> 01:45:52,000
back in the bag and kept on it to Dave Balb-Terry on assist.
1444
01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:55,000
Then Kerring came up to bat and took three terrific swings
1445
01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:59,000
at the ball and failed to connect with what Mungo had on it,
1446
01:45:59,000 --> 01:46:00,000
retiring the side.
1447
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:02,000
Six runs, four hits and no errors,
1448
01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:04,000
taking the score of the American League East
1449
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:06,000
and the National League Four.
1450
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:09,000
That's the score of the American League leading by four runs
1451
01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:11,000
as we go into the National League half.
1452
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:14,000
the fifth inning, National Broadcasting Company
1453
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:16,000
bringing us to this play-by-play account
1454
01:46:16,000 --> 01:46:18,000
of the Buffalo Ground in New York,
1455
01:46:18,000 --> 01:46:21,000
a great all-star game between the stars of the American League
1456
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:23,000
and the stars of the National League
1457
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:26,000
for the old ballplayers who need their help now that these stars
1458
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:29,000
can get under them while they're in there playing great baseball,
1459
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:32,000
great baseball out here before some 60,000 fans
1460
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:35,000
who really love to come out here and see their favorites perform.
1461
01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:38,000
As we said once before, it's a matter of seeing these ball clubs
1462
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:40,000
and I think there's nightmares.
1463
01:46:40,000 --> 01:46:43,000
It proves to be when one after the other,
1464
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:46,000
they came up some up there, they're afraid to walk this way because then,
1465
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:47,000
look what you've got coming.
1466
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:49,000
Why, even when they walk to get to Robbie,
1467
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:53,000
the batting captain has packed out that ball into left field for a single.
1468
01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:56,000
He's no longer in his zone without the National League
1469
01:46:56,000 --> 01:46:59,000
at the State Half of New York City
1470
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:04,000
with the batting order coming up in this manner.
1471
01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:08,000
We have Pepper Munch coming in to that.
1472
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:09,000
I believe he's going to be first.
1473
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:11,000
He's walking up that canyon back to the line
1474
01:47:11,000 --> 01:47:14,000
while they're warming up there in the box.
1475
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:16,000
the American League pitcher is taking plays out there.
1476
01:47:16,000 --> 01:47:20,000
Yes, sir, I believe there's a change in pitchers at this time.
1477
01:47:20,000 --> 01:47:22,000
Or is it still the big red down there?
1478
01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:25,000
It's still red ruffing down there in the box,
1479
01:47:25,000 --> 01:47:32,000
pitching to Phil Dickey.
1480
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:35,000
Phil Dickey has been doing yeoman service in this baseball game.
1481
01:47:35,000 --> 01:47:37,000
He's down there now taking ruffing.
1482
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:46,000
As Martin, the great hero of the 1931 World Series,
1483
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:49,000
is down there swinging his bat to get himself in shape
1484
01:47:49,000 --> 01:47:54,000
to face the pitching of the big red, which isn't any easy thing to do.
1485
01:47:54,000 --> 01:47:57,000
the old argument about whether the hitters will win the game
1486
01:47:57,000 --> 01:47:59,000
or whether the pitchers will win the game
1487
01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:03,000
has been turned inside out and then back again here this afternoon.
1488
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:07,000
In the first three innings when Hubbell had it on the American League batters
1489
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:14,000
and then here in the fourth and fifth when Warnocky and Mungo
1490
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:18,000
have been clapped pretty freely for six runs.
1491
01:48:18,000 --> 01:48:22,000
Six runs in the fourth, eight runs in the fourth and fifth,
1492
01:48:22,000 --> 01:48:27,000
two in the fourth, and six in the fifth.
1493
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:28,000
Two in the fourth and six in the fifth.
1494
01:48:28,000 --> 01:48:30,000
That was the number that came in.
1495
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:33,000
There's some sort of a conference going on down here for a moment.
1496
01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:36,000
the umpires have walked off the field and the boys in blue,
1497
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:37,000
two of them have come back on.
1498
01:48:37,000 --> 01:48:41,000
I believe Rick Owens and George Majority have walked back in.
1499
01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:45,000
the American League umpires were Charlie Furman and Dolly Stott.
1500
01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:47,000
the National League umpires are off at the moment.
1501
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:50,000
We couldn't tell you because they disappeared from the diamond.
1502
01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:53,000
And now, Steppen Martin has picked up two bats.
1503
01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:55,000
He hasn't really thought he was going to get to step up a moment ago.
1504
01:48:55,000 --> 01:48:58,000
He had dropped one of them, but he has two of them now,
1505
01:48:58,000 --> 01:49:01,000
and he's keeping them high and mighty just like you do the night.
1506
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:04,000
He's letting it swing back over his shoulder, come down, tap his leg,
1507
01:49:04,000 --> 01:49:07,000
and then back again.
1508
01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:11,000
Down here for the moment in front of the plate is McKechnie,
1509
01:49:11,000 --> 01:49:13,000
one of the coaches this afternoon.
1510
01:49:13,000 --> 01:49:16,000
What a coaching staff we have and what a number of managers we have
1511
01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:22,000
in this National League team of all styles who are out there on the diamond.
1512
01:49:22,000 --> 01:49:25,000
Bill McKechnie is standing there talking to George Majority for the moment,
1513
01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:31,000
while Zapping has drawn back to tossing him to Bill Dixon for the moment he had stopped.
1514
01:49:31,000 --> 01:49:33,000
the players themselves are wondering what the conference is about,
1515
01:49:33,000 --> 01:49:36,000
and it hasn't been discovered just yet.
1516
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:40,000
Now, ladies and gentlemen, we have here a gentleman whose wife we're sure you all know,
1517
01:49:40,000 --> 01:49:45,000
one who became famous a number of years ago when he pulled a line
1518
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:47,000
with Sean and Mike the Tapshooter's shuttle.
1519
01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:49,000
Come down here, Bill Mundy.
1520
01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:51,000
I want you to say a word.
1521
01:49:51,000 --> 01:49:53,000
Here's Bill Mundy, the gentleman from Georgia.
1522
01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:55,000
Thank you, Bill.
1523
01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:58,000
Good afternoon, folks, to the last three-round fumble.
1524
01:49:58,000 --> 01:50:01,000
At the top of the morning, the doors that you have in California
1525
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:05,000
were probably having this broadcast with your breakfast coffee.
1526
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:09,000
By the show these boys are putting on up here in the foreground today,
1527
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:17,000
think of it, just about $3 million worth of baseball play and just for later.
1528
01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:22,000
the Alpha and Omega of diamond perfection assembled to do model combat
1529
01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:25,000
for most worthy cause.
1530
01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:29,000
It serves about 50,000 people here, while there are some people like myself
1531
01:50:29,000 --> 01:50:32,000
that looks like about 10 million.
1532
01:50:32,000 --> 01:50:37,000
By the way, for a long time, I've wondered just where this boy Sean Menning
1533
01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:45,000
self-reported him and feed him for his vibrant, big baseball broadcast.
1534
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:47,000
No longer in the dark, Alpha.
1535
01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:49,000
I met him the other city.
1536
01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:51,000
I found out his features.
1537
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:54,000
He's red-headed, style-topped.
1538
01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:57,000
In fact, the most red-headed human being I ever saw.
1539
01:50:57,000 --> 01:51:02,000
Think for yourself the most red-headed man, woman, and child you ever beheld.
1540
01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:06,000
Multiply the state of his or her health by 25,
1541
01:51:06,000 --> 01:51:10,000
and you'll have a big eye out just how red-headed Sean Menning is.
1542
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:12,000
I'm on my vacation out of here, and so I'll leave you now.
1543
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:14,000
You go to work, Sean.
1544
01:51:14,000 --> 01:51:17,000
Hey, Bill, how's the old pal Bobby Jones out there?
1545
01:51:17,000 --> 01:51:21,000
Television, the best in the world, the only one you know,
1546
01:51:21,000 --> 01:51:25,000
made a clean, sweet, human-based rich,
1547
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:33,000
do-over-here in Atlanta, boy, and Atlanta's South-state, South-East County.
1548
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:34,000
Thanks a lot, Bill Monty.
1549
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:38,000
We certainly all enjoyed your broadcast of football games
1550
01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:41,000
in regards to all the folks down in Atlanta.
1551
01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:44,000
Ladies and gentlemen, today we are sending you the home-start game.
1552
01:51:44,000 --> 01:51:47,000
Of course, you might tell it that we're being delayed here for a few moments.
1553
01:51:47,000 --> 01:51:48,000
the umpires are changing now.
1554
01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:51,000
the game is just half over, four-and-a-half innings with a score.
1555
01:51:51,000 --> 01:51:54,000
the American League is eight, the National League is four.
1556
01:51:54,000 --> 01:51:56,000
There's one change in the American League lineup now.
1557
01:51:56,000 --> 01:52:00,000
Benny Chapman, which is due to be one of the fastest runners in the major leagues,
1558
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:04,000
replaces Babe Ruth in a right field for the American League.
1559
01:52:04,000 --> 01:52:05,000
A company is going on.
1560
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:08,000
Tucker Martin is heading for Fungo.
1561
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:11,000
Red wrapping is still in the box, sticky behind the bat.
1562
01:52:11,000 --> 01:52:17,000
In field is the same, popped to third, moment short, carrying her second, and Gary gets first.
1563
01:52:17,000 --> 01:52:20,000
Tucker Martin, a right-hander, is up to spare the 1931 series.
1564
01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:21,000
This is a matter for him.
1565
01:52:21,000 --> 01:52:26,000
Tucker Martin, what he did in that series, will live forever and ever.
1566
01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:29,000
And the count is four-two.
1567
01:52:29,000 --> 01:52:32,000
It's the last half of the fifth inning for the American League.
1568
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:34,000
It's eight, the National League is four.
1569
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:41,000
Tucker Martin is batting for Dan Martin.
1570
01:52:41,000 --> 01:52:43,000
Quick going, is behind the bat.
1571
01:52:43,000 --> 01:52:45,000
Quick going, behind the bat.
1572
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:48,000
Moriarty is at second.
1573
01:52:48,000 --> 01:52:53,000
Clearman is at third, and Clark is at first.
1574
01:52:53,000 --> 01:52:55,000
Ball two and strike one.
1575
01:52:55,000 --> 01:53:01,000
the Mexican tie inside, and it's ball three, speed one.
1576
01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:04,000
And Mikey Fish is hanging around home, but after ball four,
1577
01:53:04,000 --> 01:53:07,000
adds a little Keppelbach left.
1578
01:53:07,000 --> 01:53:13,000
Keppelbach is on first base.
1579
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:19,000
In that series of 1931, every time that Tucker Martin got on, everybody started to give her hands.
1580
01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:29,000
And it was just one thing, will he steal on the first ball, or will he wait for the second?
1581
01:53:29,000 --> 01:53:34,000
Mikey Fish, Mikey is turning around there and batting him left-handed.
1582
01:53:34,000 --> 01:53:39,000
Anybody who can watch one of that upper track of the bull is round two, right-handed.
1583
01:53:39,000 --> 01:53:41,000
Maybe they better stay right here.
1584
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:43,000
This pitch is a cold strike.
1585
01:53:43,000 --> 01:53:48,000
Back ball, still on the offensive, not a high.
1586
01:53:48,000 --> 01:53:55,000
Right-hander to the counter, off-bridge.
1587
01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:57,000
Ball, it's outside.
1588
01:53:57,000 --> 01:54:02,000
Ball one and the strike one.
1589
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:07,000
By a charm of the fifth inning, the National League is just four runs behind, the score being eight to four.
1590
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:13,000
Tucker Martin gets the boys off on the right foot with a base on ball.
1591
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:17,000
Got a big lead down there at first.
1592
01:54:17,000 --> 01:54:20,000
Strike four.
1593
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:25,000
Strike two and ball one.
1594
01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:32,000
That was a fast ball just above the knee.
1595
01:54:32,000 --> 01:54:36,000
Donnie Ruffing is in the box.
1596
01:54:36,000 --> 01:54:37,000
Red Ruffing.
1597
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:38,000
Big red-headed picker.
1598
01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:40,000
We red-headed were stick together.
1599
01:54:40,000 --> 01:54:41,000
Strike two and ball one.
1600
01:54:41,000 --> 01:54:42,000
There's a line.
1601
01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:45,000
That's the same thing with the left-hander field.
1602
01:54:45,000 --> 01:54:46,000
Martin's on it.
1603
01:54:46,000 --> 01:54:47,000
Second coming to first.
1604
01:54:47,000 --> 01:54:48,000
Women's has the ball.
1605
01:54:48,000 --> 01:54:51,000
He turns it to second base and he's taken out by Kelly here.
1606
01:54:51,000 --> 01:54:57,000
And Hicks drops it first. Martin drops it third.
1607
01:54:57,000 --> 01:55:02,000
the second one of the afternoon for Frankie Fritz.
1608
01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:04,000
Five-trainer.
1609
01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:07,000
Manager and third baseman.
1610
01:55:07,000 --> 01:55:15,000
Off the pitch for a while at the right-hand sticker is coming up next.
1611
01:55:15,000 --> 01:55:20,000
Did you know that this five-trainer is a great fellow?
1612
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:26,000
Everybody around here today speaks very well of five-trainer and the manager, Fittsburg.
1613
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:27,000
He's up there now, ready to go.
1614
01:55:27,000 --> 01:55:28,000
Hicks a ball.
1615
01:55:28,000 --> 01:55:33,000
Low inside.
1616
01:55:33,000 --> 01:55:37,000
That Ruffing takes a lot of time between the pitches, but he works slow and easy.
1617
01:55:37,000 --> 01:55:38,000
Here it is.
1618
01:55:38,000 --> 01:55:39,000
Hicks a strike.
1619
01:55:39,000 --> 01:55:40,000
Ball.
1620
01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:43,000
Ball one and strike one.
1621
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:50,000
Cover martin is on third base. Frankie Fritz is on first.
1622
01:55:50,000 --> 01:55:53,000
the Cardinals are on the base.
1623
01:55:53,000 --> 01:55:55,000
Ball one and strike one.
1624
01:55:55,000 --> 01:55:57,000
Hicks has a ball up and back.
1625
01:55:57,000 --> 01:55:59,000
Strike two.
1626
01:55:59,000 --> 01:56:06,000
Strike two and ball one.
1627
01:56:06,000 --> 01:56:14,000
the American Legion's battery at the moment is roughing in the box and Vicki behind the back.
1628
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:21,000
Infield is Jerry, Gerringer, Stonem, and Jimmy Fox is playing third.
1629
01:56:21,000 --> 01:56:23,000
Strike two, ball one on the hitter.
1630
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:26,000
Trainers, the first hit the ball up and back to copy main.
1631
01:56:26,000 --> 01:56:29,000
Strike two and ball one.
1632
01:56:29,000 --> 01:56:33,000
Last half of the fifth inning.
1633
01:56:33,000 --> 01:56:36,000
Everybody out.
1634
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:39,000
One is on first and second.
1635
01:56:39,000 --> 01:56:46,000
And by Kraner is up there following him off with a count strike two and ball one.
1636
01:56:46,000 --> 01:56:48,000
Joey Medwick is up there next.
1637
01:56:48,000 --> 01:56:50,000
Here it is.
1638
01:56:50,000 --> 01:56:55,000
the high follow up back in the stands.
1639
01:56:55,000 --> 01:56:56,000
Ball one.
1640
01:56:56,000 --> 01:57:05,000
Valley roughing is roughing the new ball.
1641
01:57:05,000 --> 01:57:09,000
That's not a punt.
1642
01:57:09,000 --> 01:57:14,000
Facing out of the umpire, crosses one out to boys using just like a foul.
1643
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:17,000
Typing the frustration all over.
1644
01:57:17,000 --> 01:57:19,000
Alright, ready to go. Strike two and ball one.
1645
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:20,000
High trainer up.
1646
01:57:20,000 --> 01:57:21,000
It's a strong ball.
1647
01:57:21,000 --> 01:57:26,000
Charlie Gerringer had a hand on the ball and dropped it and kicked it out in the right field.
1648
01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:28,000
Martin crossed the plate.
1649
01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:30,000
But Charlie Gerringer was on that ball.
1650
01:57:30,000 --> 01:57:33,000
Conley, all the way, kicked it up and held Frankie for just that second.
1651
01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:36,000
That of course was scored as a base hit.
1652
01:57:36,000 --> 01:57:39,000
That was a peak of a play by Charlie Gerringer.
1653
01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:43,000
the ball was a grounder between first and second and it's passed Jerry.
1654
01:57:43,000 --> 01:57:46,000
But Charlie Gerringer went over and had his glove hand on the ball.
1655
01:57:46,000 --> 01:57:52,000
Formative for a moment and then when he was running at top speed he kicked the ball about 10 yards out forward.
1656
01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:53,000
the right field foul line.
1657
01:57:53,000 --> 01:57:56,000
But he was right on it and held Frankie for just that second.
1658
01:57:56,000 --> 01:58:15,000
We'll have to run for the master leagueers and score his 8 to 5.
1659
01:58:15,000 --> 01:58:17,000
Chuck Klein.
1660
01:58:17,000 --> 01:58:28,000
Chuck Klein is going in the back for Joey Medley.
1661
01:58:28,000 --> 01:58:30,000
Chuck Klein, you know, hits the left-hander.
1662
01:58:30,000 --> 01:58:32,000
Strike, ball.
1663
01:58:32,000 --> 01:58:35,000
Runners on first and second, nobody else.
1664
01:58:35,000 --> 01:58:42,000
Strike two, swinging.
1665
01:58:42,000 --> 01:58:51,000
Chuck Klein, you know, is the powerful hitter of the Chicago Tuck.
1666
01:58:51,000 --> 01:58:55,000
Strike two on it, one called and then a long swing.
1667
01:58:55,000 --> 01:58:57,000
Red Ruffin is pitching it, here it is.
1668
01:58:57,000 --> 01:59:00,000
He's playing it, it's a base hit in the right field.
1669
01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:01,000
Frankie Flitch is down and third.
1670
01:59:01,000 --> 01:59:02,000
Steppen has the ball.
1671
01:59:02,000 --> 01:59:08,000
Steppen throws the ball to Fox that's third, holding by 20 on that second.
1672
01:59:08,000 --> 01:59:12,000
Frankie Flitch crosses the plate and the score is 8 to 6.
1673
01:59:12,000 --> 01:59:14,000
8 to 6.
1674
01:59:14,000 --> 01:59:19,000
And that's all for Mr. Charlie Ruffin.
1675
01:59:19,000 --> 01:59:25,000
With a count of two and nothing, Chuck Klein, that one in there, fell by and hit a scorching
1676
01:59:25,000 --> 01:59:32,000
line drive into right field.
1677
01:59:32,000 --> 01:59:33,000
Mel Ott.
1678
01:59:33,000 --> 01:59:35,000
Mel Ott.
1679
01:59:35,000 --> 01:59:39,000
the drive lead is coming in, this is not a fifth of a jump, but Mel Ott is coming up
1680
01:59:39,000 --> 01:59:41,000
to the plate swinging two backs.
1681
01:59:41,000 --> 01:59:53,000
If he backs, he will back for tired, tired colors.
1682
01:59:53,000 --> 01:59:55,000
Mel O'Hartner.
1683
01:59:55,000 --> 02:00:01,000
Mel O'Hartner, the Cleveland Indians, is ambling in from deep left center field.
1684
02:00:01,000 --> 02:00:05,000
the American Leaguers are warming up this afternoon in deep left center field and the
1685
02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:09,000
National Leaguers full-back is in deep right center field.
1686
02:00:09,000 --> 02:00:14,000
They're both the same distance apart, except that the American Leaguers, who are the visiting
1687
02:00:14,000 --> 02:00:19,000
club today, incidentally, get plenty of good sunshine out there in center field, a lot
1688
02:00:19,000 --> 02:00:24,000
of the good shade here over in right field.
1689
02:00:24,000 --> 02:00:28,000
Mel O'Hartner, the Cleveland Indians have all got away to a rather cool start this year,
1690
02:00:28,000 --> 02:00:33,000
pitching good baseball, allowing only a two hits per game, but was unable to win.
1691
02:00:33,000 --> 02:00:40,000
But the last six times out he's going to win either.
1692
02:00:40,000 --> 02:00:45,000
Mel O'Hartner, you know, and Justin Kibb, right hand pitcher.
1693
02:00:45,000 --> 02:00:47,000
Go for it, and keep him as he nears short.
1694
02:00:47,000 --> 02:00:50,000
Now that's a long walk from out there.
1695
02:00:50,000 --> 02:00:55,000
Let's see, the sign is 455 feet away.
1696
02:00:55,000 --> 02:00:59,000
455 feet out to the right center field.
1697
02:00:59,000 --> 02:01:01,000
Mel O'Hartner's been warming up.
1698
02:01:01,000 --> 02:01:07,000
Nice in the box, and it's started to warm up with catcher Bill Dickey.
1699
02:01:07,000 --> 02:01:09,000
It's the last half of the fifth inning.
1700
02:01:09,000 --> 02:01:17,000
This game has developed into a three-hitting affair after Carl Hubbell left the game.
1701
02:01:17,000 --> 02:01:23,000
Carl Hubbell, no free hits, but Hubbell was in the box.
1702
02:01:23,000 --> 02:01:26,000
This is the third American League pitcher of the afternoon.
1703
02:01:26,000 --> 02:01:31,000
He started out with a storm as, and then we had Ruffing,
1704
02:01:31,000 --> 02:01:39,000
and now this is the fifth inning we had Mel O'Hartner replacing Charlie Ruffing.
1705
02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:45,000
On the last league batter's side, perhaps he wanted to create a stir for us in the major leagues.
1706
02:01:45,000 --> 02:01:51,000
Mel O'Hartner, you know, is expected to have one of the finest serves in the majors today.
1707
02:01:51,000 --> 02:01:55,000
That's a fairly good fast ball along with it.
1708
02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:04,000
That reporter here, a moment ago, is select Mel O'Hart.
1709
02:02:04,000 --> 02:02:11,000
Mel O'Hart, a New York giant, who started playing professional baseball at the age of 16
1710
02:02:11,000 --> 02:02:15,000
and was going to be a great star ever since.
1711
02:02:15,000 --> 02:02:19,000
He's really run that exciting game over in Washington last year with a long home run.
1712
02:02:19,000 --> 02:02:22,000
It's going into back for Tykeye Garland.
1713
02:02:22,000 --> 02:02:24,000
Mel O'Hartner hits it left handed.
1714
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:27,000
Here's the first pass, hits the high side of left field.
1715
02:02:27,000 --> 02:02:30,000
Simmons is coming over fast, coming over, over, over.
1716
02:02:30,000 --> 02:02:31,000
It's a foul.
1717
02:02:31,000 --> 02:02:33,000
That ball was fouled by about one foot.
1718
02:02:33,000 --> 02:02:37,000
With everybody running, Simmons going over.
1719
02:02:37,000 --> 02:02:39,000
It was outside.
1720
02:02:39,000 --> 02:02:45,000
Simmons missed it by about one yard, and it was outside at the foul line by about one foot.
1721
02:02:45,000 --> 02:02:49,000
Yes, indeed, that had the fast ball stand up for a moment.
1722
02:02:51,000 --> 02:02:58,000
Mel O'Hart, one of the first balls that looks like an inside ball that he stepped back on.
1723
02:03:02,000 --> 02:03:03,000
It's the fifth inning.
1724
02:03:03,000 --> 02:03:05,000
It's 4-8 to 6 in favor of the American League.
1725
02:03:05,000 --> 02:03:06,000
There's nobody else.
1726
02:03:06,000 --> 02:03:08,000
the tying ones are on first and second.
1727
02:03:08,000 --> 02:03:10,000
Tyke one on Mel O'Hart.
1728
02:03:10,000 --> 02:03:12,000
Here it is.
1729
02:03:12,000 --> 02:03:14,000
Hits the low ball.
1730
02:03:14,000 --> 02:03:18,000
That was a hook ball that was low inside right there, Mel's feet.
1731
02:03:18,000 --> 02:03:21,000
And the count is ball one and strike one.
1732
02:03:23,000 --> 02:03:27,000
This is certainly developing into a long baseball game.
1733
02:03:29,000 --> 02:03:31,000
Ball one and strike one is the count on the hitter.
1734
02:03:31,000 --> 02:03:33,000
Mel O'Hart, here it is.
1735
02:03:33,000 --> 02:03:35,000
Hits the ball to down first base wave and it's foul.
1736
02:03:35,000 --> 02:03:37,000
And it strikes two.
1737
02:03:37,000 --> 02:03:44,000
First base coach says that ball is no good.
1738
02:03:44,000 --> 02:03:48,000
It's all linked up to the umpire, and it's picked on and it's tossed out of nowhere.
1739
02:03:48,000 --> 02:03:51,000
He'll throw the nil, Pepperbuck runs all the way up from the short,
1740
02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:54,000
picks the ball up and hands it to Mel O'Hart.
1741
02:03:54,000 --> 02:03:55,000
Butters the word.
1742
02:03:55,000 --> 02:03:58,000
It's all of encouragement and then runs back to the short top of the...
1743
02:04:02,000 --> 02:04:03,000
Count on Mel O'Hart.
1744
02:04:03,000 --> 02:04:05,000
It's strike two and ball one.
1745
02:04:05,000 --> 02:04:08,000
Runners on first and second to no.
1746
02:04:08,000 --> 02:04:10,000
Trainer on second.
1747
02:04:10,000 --> 02:04:12,000
And fine is on first.
1748
02:04:17,000 --> 02:04:18,000
Mel O'Hart is up.
1749
02:04:18,000 --> 02:04:19,000
Strike two and ball one.
1750
02:04:19,000 --> 02:04:20,000
the pick hits outside.
1751
02:04:20,000 --> 02:04:22,000
Ball two.
1752
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:24,000
Ball two and strike two.
1753
02:04:27,000 --> 02:04:28,000
Two and two.
1754
02:04:28,000 --> 02:04:29,000
Last half of the fifth inning.
1755
02:04:29,000 --> 02:04:32,000
Eight to six in favor of the American Leaguers.
1756
02:04:32,000 --> 02:04:35,000
Nobody out. Runners on first and second.
1757
02:04:37,000 --> 02:04:40,000
Ball two and strike two and here it is.
1758
02:04:40,000 --> 02:04:42,000
He gets a hold of that drive to the right field.
1759
02:04:42,000 --> 02:04:45,000
Kaepernick, high, and he's trying to bring back the pitches.
1760
02:04:45,000 --> 02:04:48,000
Picks the ball up and throws it to four on that second.
1761
02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:50,000
And fine is forced at second base.
1762
02:04:50,000 --> 02:04:52,000
That was a low line drive.
1763
02:04:52,000 --> 02:04:57,000
the defending captain came in, had both hands on him, tried to catch it at the staff of his shoes,
1764
02:04:57,000 --> 02:04:58,000
but dropped the ball.
1765
02:04:58,000 --> 02:05:02,000
Fine thought that he was going to make the catch and pass back to first.
1766
02:05:02,000 --> 02:05:06,000
Letting Kaepernick pick the ball up and whips it in to go four on that second.
1767
02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:10,000
steps on the back and sucks for it and puts it forward.
1768
02:05:10,000 --> 02:05:11,000
That's a lefty score.
1769
02:05:11,000 --> 02:05:13,000
That's a base hit for an error.
1770
02:05:16,000 --> 02:05:17,000
Mel O'Hart is safe at first.
1771
02:05:17,000 --> 02:05:19,000
Donnerfield is strong.
1772
02:05:19,000 --> 02:05:21,000
Five trainers went to third base.
1773
02:05:21,000 --> 02:05:24,000
Now we have runners on first and third.
1774
02:05:24,000 --> 02:05:25,000
One man out.
1775
02:05:25,000 --> 02:05:26,000
Paul Wehner.
1776
02:05:26,000 --> 02:05:29,000
Paul Wehner is going to pass for Wally Berger.
1777
02:05:36,000 --> 02:05:44,000
Paul Wehner off of Pittsburgh Pirates is batting for Wally Berger.
1778
02:05:44,000 --> 02:05:47,000
Paul Wehner, you're going to hit from the left-hander.
1779
02:05:47,000 --> 02:05:51,000
the last deluge is from the last half of the fifth inning was two men out.
1780
02:05:51,000 --> 02:05:55,000
Two men out.
1781
02:05:55,000 --> 02:05:58,000
Paul Wehner, little left-hander.
1782
02:05:58,000 --> 02:06:04,000
Paul Wehner, hard serve ball was low inside.
1783
02:06:09,000 --> 02:06:12,000
As you can see, you know, last half of the fifth inning, one out.
1784
02:06:12,000 --> 02:06:14,000
Runners on first and second.
1785
02:06:14,000 --> 02:06:16,000
Wehner up.
1786
02:06:16,000 --> 02:06:18,000
Such a ball.
1787
02:06:18,000 --> 02:06:21,000
That was a burning back throw.
1788
02:06:21,000 --> 02:06:24,000
Set high right down the alley.
1789
02:06:24,000 --> 02:06:26,000
Ball one, strike one.
1790
02:06:29,000 --> 02:06:30,000
Dallard is on first.
1791
02:06:30,000 --> 02:06:32,000
Five trainers is on third.
1792
02:06:32,000 --> 02:06:33,000
One man out.
1793
02:06:33,000 --> 02:06:36,000
And the count is one and one on the hitter.
1794
02:06:36,000 --> 02:06:39,000
It is, it's too low outside.
1795
02:06:39,000 --> 02:06:40,000
Ball two.
1796
02:06:40,000 --> 02:06:51,000
Ball two and strike one.
1797
02:06:51,000 --> 02:06:53,000
Paul Wehner standing up there.
1798
02:06:53,000 --> 02:06:54,000
Knocks the dirt off his shoes.
1799
02:06:54,000 --> 02:06:58,000
Swinging that bat up and down with plenty of determination.
1800
02:06:58,000 --> 02:07:01,000
Ball two, strike one on the hitter.
1801
02:07:01,000 --> 02:07:03,000
Ball three, a back throw.
1802
02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:06,000
Letter high, but it was inside.
1803
02:07:06,000 --> 02:07:14,000
Ball three and strike one.
1804
02:07:14,000 --> 02:07:17,000
Manager Bill Terry is hanging around home plate.
1805
02:07:17,000 --> 02:07:19,000
He's got three substitute hitters attending.
1806
02:07:19,000 --> 02:07:23,000
Fine, hot, and lowly half-waiters.
1807
02:07:23,000 --> 02:07:27,000
Pretty fair three hole bench hitter.
1808
02:07:27,000 --> 02:07:29,000
Ball three, strike one.
1809
02:07:29,000 --> 02:07:31,000
Here it is.
1810
02:07:31,000 --> 02:07:33,000
High ball coming right up here.
1811
02:07:33,000 --> 02:07:39,000
Here's a baseball for your first day, Graham.
1812
02:07:39,000 --> 02:07:44,000
Another day, Graham McAleenan is here celebrating his first day.
1813
02:07:44,000 --> 02:07:47,000
He's been celebrating the better way coming out to a 12-ball game like this.
1814
02:07:47,000 --> 02:07:49,000
Now three and two on the hitter.
1815
02:07:49,000 --> 02:07:53,000
Paul Wehner is up there with runners on first and third.
1816
02:07:53,000 --> 02:07:57,000
the count is three and two.
1817
02:07:57,000 --> 02:07:59,000
Three and two.
1818
02:07:59,000 --> 02:08:01,000
Here it is.
1819
02:08:01,000 --> 02:08:06,000
McAleenan misses the ball to second base.
1820
02:08:06,000 --> 02:08:09,000
Bill Tickey whips the ball around to second base.
1821
02:08:09,000 --> 02:08:16,000
Lettott was clearing, but Oc tried to run Charlie Daniel and his tape and high play is scored.
1822
02:08:16,000 --> 02:08:18,000
With a count three and two, here's that picture now.
1823
02:08:18,000 --> 02:08:21,000
With a count three and two, high play was on third base.
1824
02:08:21,000 --> 02:08:23,000
Lettott was on first.
1825
02:08:23,000 --> 02:08:24,000
One man up.
1826
02:08:24,000 --> 02:08:28,000
And with high meditation, Lettott took the ball for second base.
1827
02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:37,000
Tickey whips the ball around to second after Wehner had swung and missed, making two outs and fell off while the floor had him beat.
1828
02:08:37,000 --> 02:08:44,000
He stood around, started yelling in a second, and was declared safe by Oc George Moriarty.
1829
02:08:44,000 --> 02:08:51,000
While this was going on, Paul Wehner scored and it's eight to seven now in favor of American Lincoln.
1830
02:08:51,000 --> 02:09:00,000
the flying runners on second base were two outs and manager Memphis Will was up there at the plate.
1831
02:09:00,000 --> 02:09:07,000
And of course, will be scored as a double steal.
1832
02:09:07,000 --> 02:09:08,000
Moriarty is up.
1833
02:09:08,000 --> 02:09:10,000
Ball on.
1834
02:09:10,000 --> 02:09:18,000
Wehner's third ball was outside.
1835
02:09:18,000 --> 02:09:21,000
Travis Jackson is to be the next batter.
1836
02:09:21,000 --> 02:09:26,000
Last half of the fifth inning, the score eight to seven.
1837
02:09:26,000 --> 02:09:28,000
Ball two.
1838
02:09:28,000 --> 02:09:29,000
Bill Terry hit it.
1839
02:09:29,000 --> 02:09:31,000
That last one was quite high up on outside.
1840
02:09:31,000 --> 02:09:37,000
And the count is two and nothing.
1841
02:09:37,000 --> 02:09:44,000
Two and nothing and Bella is on second base.
1842
02:09:44,000 --> 02:09:53,000
It is ball three. Oh, and was brother Bill Terry ready to hit that one with a count two and nothing?
1843
02:09:53,000 --> 02:10:02,000
Harlow's trying to keep the ball low outside for Memphis Will and now it's three and nothing.
1844
02:10:02,000 --> 02:10:04,000
Three and nothing. Here it is.
1845
02:10:04,000 --> 02:10:06,000
Right ball.
1846
02:10:06,000 --> 02:10:11,000
Bill Terry went through some motions down there, pointing his bat directly forward.
1847
02:10:11,000 --> 02:10:14,000
A little bit harder, a little bit harder.
1848
02:10:14,000 --> 02:10:16,000
Flip that fast one right across.
1849
02:10:16,000 --> 02:10:17,000
Still high.
1850
02:10:17,000 --> 02:10:21,000
Ball three and strike one.
1851
02:10:21,000 --> 02:10:22,000
Three and one.
1852
02:10:22,000 --> 02:10:24,000
And here it is.
1853
02:10:24,000 --> 02:10:25,000
Go ahead, he says.
1854
02:10:25,000 --> 02:10:28,000
Ball four.
1855
02:10:28,000 --> 02:10:30,000
Bill Terry walks.
1856
02:10:30,000 --> 02:10:34,000
Now, out is on second.
1857
02:10:34,000 --> 02:10:41,000
Jackson was up there ready to hit but he has walked back toward the Yankee or the National Leaguers dugout.
1858
02:10:41,000 --> 02:10:52,000
We're going to have a structure two batter for him.
1859
02:10:52,000 --> 02:10:57,000
I tell you that hockey ball out of Fitchburg is going to bat for him.
1860
02:10:57,000 --> 02:11:02,000
That's not official, it's just.
1861
02:11:02,000 --> 02:11:08,000
Coming up there with two bats, however.
1862
02:11:08,000 --> 02:11:19,000
Bill McKinney, manager of the Blades, is running there to home plate and is having a bit of a conference with hockey ball.
1863
02:11:19,000 --> 02:11:21,000
That's correct, now it's official.
1864
02:11:21,000 --> 02:11:24,000
Fawn batting for Jackson.
1865
02:11:24,000 --> 02:11:25,000
Fawn hits him left handed.
1866
02:11:25,000 --> 02:11:27,000
Now the harder, the right-hander is in the box.
1867
02:11:27,000 --> 02:11:29,000
Here's the pitch.
1868
02:11:29,000 --> 02:11:31,000
Strike, ball.
1869
02:11:31,000 --> 02:11:32,000
Fawn is in the box again quickly.
1870
02:11:32,000 --> 02:11:35,000
Last time for the fifth inning, eight to seven in favor of the American Leaguers.
1871
02:11:35,000 --> 02:11:36,000
Two men out.
1872
02:11:36,000 --> 02:11:37,000
Bell out is on second.
1873
02:11:37,000 --> 02:11:40,000
Bill Terry is on first.
1874
02:11:40,000 --> 02:11:42,000
And hockey ball in.
1875
02:11:42,000 --> 02:11:44,000
Fitchburg Pirates shortstop batting for Travis Jackson.
1876
02:11:44,000 --> 02:11:46,000
He hits him left handed.
1877
02:11:46,000 --> 02:11:47,000
the pitch.
1878
02:11:47,000 --> 02:11:48,000
Ball.
1879
02:11:48,000 --> 02:11:57,000
A hook ball hits the outside corner and the count is ball one and strike one.
1880
02:11:57,000 --> 02:12:00,000
Hockey has a count of ball one and strike one.
1881
02:12:00,000 --> 02:12:03,000
Gabby Hartnett coming up next.
1882
02:12:03,000 --> 02:12:05,000
Here's the pitch.
1883
02:12:05,000 --> 02:12:06,000
Ball two.
1884
02:12:06,000 --> 02:12:09,000
That was over the high of the plate but too low.
1885
02:12:09,000 --> 02:12:11,000
Now the count on Fawn.
1886
02:12:11,000 --> 02:12:17,000
Ball two and strike one.
1887
02:12:17,000 --> 02:12:19,000
Somebody just remarked it's a good thing they started early.
1888
02:12:19,000 --> 02:12:22,000
They've been playing just two hours right now.
1889
02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:23,000
Ball two and strike one.
1890
02:12:23,000 --> 02:12:24,000
Fawn is the hitter.
1891
02:12:24,000 --> 02:12:26,000
Runners on first and second.
1892
02:12:26,000 --> 02:12:27,000
Hitter.
1893
02:12:27,000 --> 02:12:30,000
the foul ball is on short.
1894
02:12:30,000 --> 02:12:31,000
Fawn comes up with a foul.
1895
02:12:31,000 --> 02:12:32,000
We're down there.
1896
02:12:32,000 --> 02:12:37,000
14.40 seconds and that requires the National Leaguers for the fifth inning.
1897
02:12:37,000 --> 02:12:40,000
the score is eight to seven in favor of the American Leaguers.
1898
02:12:40,000 --> 02:12:44,000
We're going to have plenty of changes as we start the sixth inning.
1899
02:12:44,000 --> 02:12:46,000
Come in, Fawn.
1900
02:12:46,000 --> 02:12:49,000
And here's that National League fifth in which they came up three runs.
1901
02:12:49,000 --> 02:12:51,000
They failed now by one run.
1902
02:12:51,000 --> 02:12:53,000
Eight to seven in favor of the American League.
1903
02:12:53,000 --> 02:12:55,000
Martin came up and walked.
1904
02:12:55,000 --> 02:12:58,000
Martin the bat smacked out a single to left center.
1905
02:12:58,000 --> 02:13:00,000
And Martin wheeled his way around the third.
1906
02:13:00,000 --> 02:13:03,000
Then Treanor came up two on and nobody out.
1907
02:13:03,000 --> 02:13:04,000
Martin smacked a single off the end of his glove.
1908
02:13:04,000 --> 02:13:07,000
Down a second scoring Martin and setting fish.
1909
02:13:07,000 --> 02:13:09,000
Down two seconds.
1910
02:13:09,000 --> 02:13:11,000
Klein up to back Fawn Medwick.
1911
02:13:11,000 --> 02:13:14,000
Two on and nobody out and he smacked the harp into right field.
1912
02:13:14,000 --> 02:13:15,000
Going free.
1913
02:13:15,000 --> 02:13:16,000
Then Oc.
1914
02:13:16,000 --> 02:13:17,000
Oc cleared up the plate.
1915
02:13:17,000 --> 02:13:20,000
Too bad in place of Ty Ty Tyler.
1916
02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:24,000
Starting off by the second man of the 372 batter that came up in this inning.
1917
02:13:24,000 --> 02:13:25,000
the four rather.
1918
02:13:25,000 --> 02:13:31,000
And Mel Harder was immediately signaled for from the bullpen and came in and replaced Ruffing.
1919
02:13:31,000 --> 02:13:35,000
After three men had come in and banged the head off Ruffing.
1920
02:13:35,000 --> 02:13:38,000
Ruffing retired then from the game.
1921
02:13:38,000 --> 02:13:41,000
His record wasn't bad for the innings he had picked.
1922
02:13:41,000 --> 02:13:45,000
Third, fourth, he was out the fourth and half the fifth.
1923
02:13:45,000 --> 02:13:47,000
He had two runs scored on him.
1924
02:13:47,000 --> 02:13:48,000
Three hits and had given one walk.
1925
02:13:48,000 --> 02:13:50,000
These three hits all the way right of the way was pulled.
1926
02:13:50,000 --> 02:13:56,000
And Mel Harder, the great serve ball artist of Cleveland, came in to replace him for the American League.
1927
02:13:56,000 --> 02:13:57,000
Mel Lopp was the first man to face him.
1928
02:13:57,000 --> 02:13:58,000
Two on and nobody out.
1929
02:13:58,000 --> 02:14:00,000
He smacked the liner out to Chapman.
1930
02:14:00,000 --> 02:14:03,000
Ben Chapman who had replaced Dave Ruth in right field.
1931
02:14:03,000 --> 02:14:07,000
Who stopped it and threw the second after getting it forcing Glenn up.
1932
02:14:07,000 --> 02:14:09,000
Scored as a fielder's choice.
1933
02:14:09,000 --> 02:14:10,000
Paul Winner came up to bat for Berger.
1934
02:14:10,000 --> 02:14:12,000
Struck out on the third strike.
1935
02:14:12,000 --> 02:14:13,000
Kleiner scored on a double steal.
1936
02:14:13,000 --> 02:14:15,000
Mel Lopp saved the second.
1937
02:14:15,000 --> 02:14:19,000
Although it had been tagged down there by Bill Dickey down to Garrett.
1938
02:14:19,000 --> 02:14:21,000
Terry came up and walked.
1939
02:14:21,000 --> 02:14:22,000
One on and two out.
1940
02:14:22,000 --> 02:14:25,000
Barbong came up with two on.
1941
02:14:25,000 --> 02:14:28,000
And the bat for Jackson smacked one down.
1942
02:14:28,000 --> 02:14:29,000
Two short.
1943
02:14:29,000 --> 02:14:31,000
Forcing Terry out a second.
1944
02:14:31,000 --> 02:14:32,000
Short, two seconds.
1945
02:14:32,000 --> 02:14:34,000
That is thrown in to Garrett.
1946
02:14:34,000 --> 02:14:39,000
So we go into the sixth inning with the National League trailing the American League by one run.
1947
02:14:39,000 --> 02:14:42,000
the score of the American League is the National League seven.
1948
02:14:42,000 --> 02:14:46,000
We go into the sixth inning of this red hot ball game of the All-Stars.
1949
02:14:46,000 --> 02:14:49,000
Front field with the National Broadcasting Company.
1950
02:14:49,000 --> 02:14:51,000
Polo down with Tom Manning giving you the play back leg.
1951
02:14:51,000 --> 02:14:52,000
Come in Tom.
1952
02:14:52,000 --> 02:14:54,000
Here's the changes before we start.
1953
02:14:54,000 --> 02:14:57,000

Paulin replaced Jackson in short.
1957
02:15:04,000 --> 02:15:08,000
And Tizzy Dean, the favorite of Cardinals, is in the box.
1958
02:15:08,000 --> 02:15:12,000
And Lopez is the gotcha for the National League.
1959
02:15:12,000 --> 02:15:14,000
Jimmy Foxx puts the start to sixth inning.
1960
02:15:14,000 --> 02:15:17,000
H is serving an O in favor of the American League.
1961
02:15:17,000 --> 02:15:22,000
And the count on Jimmy Foxx is ball one and the classroom with a called strike.
1962
02:15:22,000 --> 02:15:26,000
Ball one and a strike one.
1963
02:15:26,000 --> 02:15:30,000
Foxx is up and Harold Simmons is hanging him out.
1964
02:15:30,000 --> 02:15:31,000
Ball one and strike one.
1965
02:15:31,000 --> 02:15:35,000
First man up in the sixth inning.
1966
02:15:35,000 --> 02:15:37,000
Ball two.
1967
02:15:37,000 --> 02:15:40,000
Tizzy Dean shoving up a change of pace offering.
1968
02:15:40,000 --> 02:15:45,000
That was just too low.
1969
02:15:45,000 --> 02:15:46,000
Two and one.
1970
02:15:46,000 --> 02:15:48,000
Here it is.
1971
02:15:48,000 --> 02:15:53,000
Strike two and two.
1972
02:15:53,000 --> 02:15:56,000
Ball two and strike two.
1973
02:15:56,000 --> 02:15:59,000
Boy Tizzy Dean is missing a lot of pace ball.
1974
02:15:59,000 --> 02:16:01,000
Here for the St. Louis Stars.
1975
02:16:01,000 --> 02:16:03,000
Brother in fifth and great game two.
1976
02:16:03,000 --> 02:16:04,000
Strike three.
1977
02:16:04,000 --> 02:16:05,000
Swinging.
1978
02:16:05,000 --> 02:16:07,000
With a count two and two.
1979
02:16:07,000 --> 02:16:10,000
Dean jumps on the gas.
1980
02:16:10,000 --> 02:16:15,000
Jumps over a burning fastball and box one and fifth.
1981
02:16:15,000 --> 02:16:18,000
One man up in the first half of the sixth inning.
1982
02:16:18,000 --> 02:16:26,000
Al Simmons is playing left field and crossing is up.
1983
02:16:26,000 --> 02:16:33,000
Al Simmons an old batch of right-handers.
1984
02:16:33,000 --> 02:16:40,000
It's the first ball, Chris, the very high-flying short white center field with Chris hot everybody on it.
1985
02:16:40,000 --> 02:16:45,000
Chris gets his hands on the ball but drops it.
1986
02:16:45,000 --> 02:16:50,000
Chris backs out of the short white center field and Wade Wehner is on the way.
1987
02:16:50,000 --> 02:16:56,000
He has both hands on the ball but it got away and Al Simmons waits to second base.
1988
02:16:56,000 --> 02:17:03,000
It is scored as a two-base hit.
1989
02:17:03,000 --> 02:17:08,000
That's scored as a two-base hit for Al Simmons.
1990
02:17:08,000 --> 02:17:12,000
In the sixth inning, nobody else.
1991
02:17:12,000 --> 02:17:13,000
Manager Joe Coleman is up.
1992
02:17:13,000 --> 02:17:18,000
Joe, you're an old batch of right-handers.
1993
02:17:18,000 --> 02:17:20,000
That was a very high-flying ball.
1994
02:17:20,000 --> 02:17:25,000
Must be because the Frankie Fritz was looking right up into the scum.
1995
02:17:25,000 --> 02:17:30,000
Very possible that one of the outfielders, either out or Paul Wehner, should have made the catch.
1996
02:17:30,000 --> 02:17:34,000
But he's directed to drive for it and the last moment he had to drive for it
1997
02:17:34,000 --> 02:17:40,000
and the official score was the opinion that it should be scored as a two-base hit.
1998
02:17:40,000 --> 02:17:49,000
A little moment later by George Molyardy, Wade New York's finest out of that front lay out in center field.
1999
02:17:49,000 --> 02:17:54,000
the police are out there keeping the crowd in order and George has the opinion that they're in the way.
2000
02:17:54,000 --> 02:17:56,000
the first ball hits the line.
2001
02:17:56,000 --> 02:17:58,000
Over trainers head into left field.
2002
02:17:58,000 --> 02:18:00,000
the ball rolls out to the left field corner.
2003
02:18:00,000 --> 02:18:02,000
Simmons runs, turns and scores.
2004
02:18:02,000 --> 02:18:04,000
the goal is to friction second base.
2005
02:18:04,000 --> 02:18:06,000
Coleman tries to ball the line.
2006
02:18:06,000 --> 02:18:08,000
Coleman has faced a two-base hit.
2007
02:18:08,000 --> 02:18:24,000
Number seven in favor of the American Stakers.
2008
02:18:24,000 --> 02:18:29,000
Ball rolled out against the billboard in the left field corner.
2009
02:18:29,000 --> 02:18:30,000
Bill Zickey is up.
2010
02:18:30,000 --> 02:18:33,000
Strike, ball.
2011
02:18:33,000 --> 02:18:34,000
Nobody else.
2012
02:18:34,000 --> 02:18:38,000
Here's Merckx on second base.
2013
02:18:38,000 --> 02:18:42,000
One man out, that's right, one man out and Coleman is on second base.
2014
02:18:42,000 --> 02:18:47,000
Bill Zickey is up and the count is strike one.
2015
02:18:47,000 --> 02:18:52,000
Jimmy Fox is strike now.
2016
02:18:52,000 --> 02:18:59,000
Strike, ball, two and nothing.
2017
02:18:59,000 --> 02:19:03,000
First half of the sixth inning, nine to seven in favor of the American League team.
2018
02:19:03,000 --> 02:19:10,000
Bill Coleman is on second, one out and Bill Zickey the batter has a count of two strikes.
2019
02:19:10,000 --> 02:19:13,000
Averill hanging around home plate.
2020
02:19:13,000 --> 02:19:17,000
Ball one, high outside.
2021
02:19:17,000 --> 02:19:24,000
Strike two, ball one.
2022
02:19:24,000 --> 02:19:32,000
Dizzy Dean of the St. Louis Cardinals of the National League is in the box.
2023
02:19:32,000 --> 02:19:42,000
the ball high outside and the count on catcher Bill Zickey is two and two.
2024
02:19:42,000 --> 02:19:44,000
Ball two and strike two.
2025
02:19:44,000 --> 02:19:49,000
First half of the sixth inning, nine to seven in favor of the American League.
2026
02:19:49,000 --> 02:19:51,000
Here's the pick.
2027
02:19:51,000 --> 02:19:54,000
Ball through.
2028
02:19:54,000 --> 02:19:58,000
Not the sort of a dizzy curve ball that was in there too low.
2029
02:19:58,000 --> 02:20:00,000
Bill Zickey getting his feet out of the way of it.
2030
02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:05,000
And now the count is three and two.
2031
02:20:05,000 --> 02:20:10,000
Bill Coleman is on second base.
2032
02:20:10,000 --> 02:20:13,000
Averill left hand hitter is next up.
2033
02:20:13,000 --> 02:20:19,000
Three and two, the picks are far back.
2034
02:20:19,000 --> 02:20:22,000
That ball hit Lopez on the wrist.
2035
02:20:22,000 --> 02:20:27,000
He's letting it allow him for a moment.
2036
02:20:27,000 --> 02:20:35,000
It's been a rather large afternoon for about 60,000 baseball fans at the Polar Ground here in New York this afternoon.
2037
02:20:35,000 --> 02:20:39,000
They've watched a lot of baseball.
2038
02:20:39,000 --> 02:20:44,000
Three and two on the hitter, another far back.
2039
02:20:44,000 --> 02:20:50,000
One of the highlights of this afternoon's game is to arrive here early and watch the batting practice.
2040
02:20:50,000 --> 02:20:55,000
You know there's just a great array of hitters out here in both leagues, finest hitters in the country.
2041
02:20:55,000 --> 02:20:57,000
There were hitters shooting him down the alley.
2042
02:20:57,000 --> 02:21:00,000
They were slapping him the whole part of this Polar Ground.
2043
02:21:00,000 --> 02:21:01,000
Ready to go again.
2044
02:21:01,000 --> 02:21:02,000
One out, throwing him on second.
2045
02:21:02,000 --> 02:21:03,000
Three and two on Bill Zickey.
2046
02:21:03,000 --> 02:21:04,000
the pick.
2047
02:21:04,000 --> 02:21:10,000
Ball four and Zickey's left.
2048
02:21:10,000 --> 02:21:12,000
Earl Averill coming up.
2049
02:21:12,000 --> 02:21:16,000
Averill, he's trying to steal the victory of the Indians.
2050
02:21:16,000 --> 02:21:20,000
He came in as a substitute for Robert Osorrez and Cipolle to seek.
2051
02:21:20,000 --> 02:21:25,000
He's going to be misplaced, he's going to be misplaced, exploded and back to the club over the right field corner.
2052
02:21:25,000 --> 02:21:27,000
Time has been called for a moment.
2053
02:21:27,000 --> 02:21:32,000
Al Strach is running out towards second base.
2054
02:21:32,000 --> 02:21:36,000
Let's see, trying to have a substitute runner I believe.
2055
02:21:36,000 --> 02:21:42,000
Yes, I believe Mickey Coughlin is going to run for Bill Zickey.
2056
02:21:42,000 --> 02:21:51,000
Mickey Coughlin replaces Bill Zickey, running at first base and of course Mike will probably catch.
2057
02:21:51,000 --> 02:21:55,000
There he's doing a great job of managing the Detroit Tigers team.
2058
02:21:55,000 --> 02:21:59,000
Just a half game out of first place.
2059
02:21:59,000 --> 02:22:02,000
Zickey's one fine ball player on a slow shot.
2060
02:22:02,000 --> 02:22:03,000
Ready to go.
2061
02:22:03,000 --> 02:22:05,000
Averill is up there with Coughlin on first.
2062
02:22:05,000 --> 02:22:09,000
Coughlin on second.
2063
02:22:09,000 --> 02:22:12,000
First pitch to Averill is a foul.
2064
02:22:12,000 --> 02:22:17,000
A burning fastball is inside.
2065
02:22:17,000 --> 02:22:19,000
Here it is.
2066
02:22:19,000 --> 02:22:21,000
Ball two.
2067
02:22:21,000 --> 02:22:25,000
Slow sweeping curve ball is outside.
2068
02:22:25,000 --> 02:22:31,000
Out on Earl Averill, the Islamic fuggers.
2069
02:22:31,000 --> 02:22:34,000
Ball two.
2070
02:22:34,000 --> 02:22:43,000
Now three. Fastball to Coughlin's side and now the column A will have three and nothing.
2071
02:22:43,000 --> 02:22:50,000
Charlie Gannigan is coming up next.
2072
02:22:50,000 --> 02:22:52,000
Mike's called.
2073
02:22:52,000 --> 02:22:59,000
Oh it's rather funny I heard this afternoon watching one of these managers ordering a lot of other managers around.
2074
02:22:59,000 --> 02:23:05,000
the team managers today, Terry and Coughlin.
2075
02:23:05,000 --> 02:23:07,000
Three and one on Averill.
2076
02:23:07,000 --> 02:23:09,000
High foul up and back.
2077
02:23:09,000 --> 02:23:15,000
And the count is three and two.
2078
02:23:15,000 --> 02:23:17,000
Ball three and strike two.
2079
02:23:17,000 --> 02:23:19,000
First half of the sixth inning in 08-7.
2080
02:23:19,000 --> 02:23:20,000
Nine to seven rather.
2081
02:23:20,000 --> 02:23:26,000
Nine to seven in favor of the American League.
2082
02:23:26,000 --> 02:23:29,000
A full count of three and two.
2083
02:23:29,000 --> 02:23:32,000
Dizzy Dean's all right handers getting ready to pitch.
2084
02:23:32,000 --> 02:23:33,000
Here it is.
2085
02:23:33,000 --> 02:23:36,000
Three and two is the count of play at second base.
2086
02:23:36,000 --> 02:23:37,000
Coughlin slides.
2087
02:23:37,000 --> 02:23:38,000
He's safe.
2088
02:23:38,000 --> 02:23:42,000
Occy Bowling back over the back and stolen a second that time.
2089
02:23:42,000 --> 02:23:49,000
That's when Dean was ready to shoot the ball straight work and he turned and flipped it to second base.
2090
02:23:49,000 --> 02:23:50,000
Now he's ready again.
2091
02:23:50,000 --> 02:23:51,000
There's the stretch.
2092
02:23:51,000 --> 02:23:55,000
Three and two on Averill's hitter.
2093
02:23:55,000 --> 02:23:57,000
Occy Bowling moving around looking out for a second.
2094
02:23:57,000 --> 02:24:02,000
Now Dean steps out of the box.
2095
02:24:02,000 --> 02:24:10,000
Devon and Jocelyn are having a little game of hide and go seek down at second base.
2096
02:24:10,000 --> 02:24:11,000
Now finally he's ready.
2097
02:24:11,000 --> 02:24:12,000
Here it is.
2098
02:24:12,000 --> 02:24:13,000
Three and two.
2099
02:24:13,000 --> 02:24:14,000
Strike three.
2100
02:24:14,000 --> 02:24:15,000
He swings.
2101
02:24:15,000 --> 02:24:16,000
That's Occy Bowling at second base.
2102
02:24:16,000 --> 02:24:17,000
Four times is running down.
2103
02:24:17,000 --> 02:24:18,000
All the way to Stewart.
2104
02:24:18,000 --> 02:24:19,000
Yes, going up.
2105
02:24:19,000 --> 02:24:27,000
And he crosses the ball to Coughlin and Coughlin is out.
2106
02:24:27,000 --> 02:24:29,000
But one is on first and second.
2107
02:24:29,000 --> 02:24:31,000
Her way through at a count of three and two.
2108
02:24:31,000 --> 02:24:33,000
He's swung at the first strike.
2109
02:24:33,000 --> 02:24:36,000
So Coughlin started for third base.
2110
02:24:36,000 --> 02:24:38,000
Then turned around and started back to second.
2111
02:24:38,000 --> 02:24:42,000
Lopez the attacker ran all the way down to the shortstop position.
2112
02:24:42,000 --> 02:24:45,000
And in fact made a strike for Coughlin and missed him.
2113
02:24:45,000 --> 02:24:50,000
Then Coughlin dashed to second base and he crossed the ball forward to Coughlin and Coughlin was tagged out.
2114
02:24:50,000 --> 02:24:51,000
Come in for it.
2115
02:24:51,000 --> 02:24:55,000
That was a funny double play on the whole crowd like this.
2116
02:24:55,000 --> 02:24:58,000
Lopez running out almost the second time.
2117
02:24:58,000 --> 02:24:59,000
That's running around the line.
2118
02:24:59,000 --> 02:25:00,000
Then crossing to second.
2119
02:25:00,000 --> 02:25:05,000
And then the second he crossed that ball to Coughlin and so there throwing down to first.
2120
02:25:05,000 --> 02:25:07,000
Or tying the side after the strikeout.
2121
02:25:07,000 --> 02:25:11,000
Yes sir, that was the kind, that was one of those that you can put in the books.
2122
02:25:11,000 --> 02:25:13,000
That is it was a regular scheduled game.
2123
02:25:13,000 --> 02:25:17,000
A very peculiar double play and one that gave the crowd a thrill.
2124
02:25:17,000 --> 02:25:21,000
Dean opened the American League six pitching for the Nationals.
2125
02:25:21,000 --> 02:25:23,000
Replacing Mungo at the start of the sixth.
2126
02:25:23,000 --> 02:25:27,000
Fox was the first man to come up to facing here in the American League half to six.
2127
02:25:27,000 --> 02:25:29,000
In which they lead nine to seven.
2128
02:25:29,000 --> 02:25:30,000
Fox up.
2129
02:25:30,000 --> 02:25:33,000
Fox to the top went through two and two and Fox struck out.
2130
02:25:33,000 --> 02:25:34,000
Simmons came up.
2131
02:25:34,000 --> 02:25:35,000
Fly to short city.
2132
02:25:35,000 --> 02:25:36,000
Great.
2133
02:25:36,000 --> 02:25:37,000
Backed out for it.
2134
02:25:37,000 --> 02:25:38,000
Dropped it.
2135
02:25:38,000 --> 02:25:40,000
Joe Farser came down the sun.
2136
02:25:40,000 --> 02:25:44,000
And it was scored by the official scorer as a two base hit for Simmons.
2137
02:25:44,000 --> 02:25:45,000
Coughlin up to bat.
2138
02:25:45,000 --> 02:25:47,000
Double hard in the left field.
2139
02:25:47,000 --> 02:25:49,000
Over third base scoring Simmons.
2140
02:25:49,000 --> 02:25:50,000
Dickey came up.
2141
02:25:50,000 --> 02:25:51,000
One on and one out.
2142
02:25:51,000 --> 02:25:53,000
Down went to three and two and he walked.
2143
02:25:53,000 --> 02:25:55,000
And Cotton went in to run boring.
2144
02:25:55,000 --> 02:25:56,000
Averill came to bat.
2145
02:25:56,000 --> 02:25:59,000
Two on and one out.
2146
02:25:59,000 --> 02:26:04,000
And then endued that double play at the strike.
2147
02:26:04,000 --> 02:26:08,000
With, as he swung hard at the ball with Lopez.
2148
02:26:08,000 --> 02:26:10,000
Going down to second.
2149
02:26:10,000 --> 02:26:13,000
It was in one of those plays where both men had moved off their backs.
2150
02:26:13,000 --> 02:26:14,000
Started to run.
2151
02:26:14,000 --> 02:26:16,000
And Averill swung hard.
2152
02:26:16,000 --> 02:26:18,000
Lopez then seeing the situation ran out.
2153
02:26:18,000 --> 02:26:24,000
the runners, Coughlin and Coughlin wondering just what was happening.
2154
02:26:24,000 --> 02:26:28,000
They both were in a position where they could hardly go back without the ball being thrown to base.
2155
02:26:28,000 --> 02:26:29,000
In which they were trying to return.
2156
02:26:29,000 --> 02:26:31,000
Second they could brave it out.
2157
02:26:31,000 --> 02:26:36,000
And that funny play which Tom Manning described to you in turning off this sixth inning.
2158
02:26:36,000 --> 02:26:39,000
So here we go into the sevens with the Americans leading nine to seven.
2159
02:26:39,000 --> 02:26:41,000
And Tom Manning to give you the play by play.
2160
02:26:41,000 --> 02:26:42,000
Here we go.
2161
02:26:42,000 --> 02:26:44,000
That's the one of the last seven to six boys.
2162
02:26:44,000 --> 02:26:45,000
National league coming to bat.
2163
02:26:45,000 --> 02:26:47,000
And it's nine to seven.
2164
02:26:47,000 --> 02:26:49,000
Nine to seven in favor of the American Leaguers.
2165
02:26:49,000 --> 02:26:53,000
And Lopez is the first hitter.
2166
02:26:53,000 --> 02:26:54,000
Lopez you don't hit them right handed.
2167
02:26:54,000 --> 02:26:57,000
No harder is it than a box four.
2168
02:26:57,000 --> 02:27:01,000
the American Leaguers and Mickey Coughlin is got you.
2169
02:27:01,000 --> 02:27:03,000
Counts ball one.
2170
02:27:03,000 --> 02:27:05,000
And swings and misses.
2171
02:27:05,000 --> 02:27:06,000
That's right.
2172
02:27:06,000 --> 02:27:08,000
Ball one and strike one.
2173
02:27:08,000 --> 02:27:10,000
On Lopez.
2174
02:27:10,000 --> 02:27:11,000
Lopez can always be played.
2175
02:27:11,000 --> 02:27:15,000
Gabby Horton that's behind the back for the National League.
2176
02:27:15,000 --> 02:27:17,000
Score nine to seven.
2177
02:27:17,000 --> 02:27:21,000
Attempts to cause Jimmy Fox up by laying down a bump but the ball is followed.
2178
02:27:21,000 --> 02:27:26,000
Strike two.
2179
02:27:26,000 --> 02:27:30,000
That looks like a pretty good idea there for a moment.
2180
02:27:30,000 --> 02:27:31,000
Not for the most part.
2181
02:27:31,000 --> 02:27:38,000
Three times Jimmy Fox has played third base at least regularly.
2182
02:27:38,000 --> 02:27:41,000
Jimmy Fox came into the American League all the time ago as a gasser.
2183
02:27:41,000 --> 02:27:47,000
Then turned out to be third tracker and finally a first base.
2184
02:27:47,000 --> 02:27:50,000
Tell me he looks pretty good over that first too.
2185
02:27:50,000 --> 02:27:54,000
Particularly so when he's up to bat for the National Band.
2186
02:27:54,000 --> 02:27:59,000
Strike two ball one on Lopez.
2187
02:27:59,000 --> 02:28:01,000
Strike three.
2188
02:28:01,000 --> 02:28:04,000
That was a beautiful hook ball coming over there about letter high.
2189
02:28:04,000 --> 02:28:12,000
Both way down around the knees with Lopez swinging over the ball.
2190
02:28:12,000 --> 02:28:14,000
Well Mr. Dean is coming up now.
2191
02:28:14,000 --> 02:28:24,000
Mr. Dean at the same time as a target.
2192
02:28:24,000 --> 02:28:29,000
Mixed ball following and always backs him and throws him right handed.
2193
02:28:29,000 --> 02:28:31,000
Now harder for the Indians to the box.
2194
02:28:31,000 --> 02:28:35,000
Mike Coughlin of the Tigers behind the back.
2195
02:28:35,000 --> 02:28:36,000
Balls the first one up third.
2196
02:28:36,000 --> 02:28:38,000
Strike.
2197
02:28:38,000 --> 02:28:39,000
Fast half of the sixth inning.
2198
02:28:39,000 --> 02:28:49,000
the score nine to seven in favor of the American League.
2199
02:28:49,000 --> 02:28:54,000
Mr. Dean the back and the top strike one.
2200
02:28:54,000 --> 02:28:56,000
Ball run.
2201
02:28:56,000 --> 02:28:58,000
Nicky Coughlin takes the ball out of the third.
2202
02:28:58,000 --> 02:29:01,000
And whips it back to Mel Harder twenty-fifth.
2203
02:29:01,000 --> 02:29:09,000
Ball run and strike one.
2204
02:29:09,000 --> 02:29:12,000
There's the pitch one and one on the hitter.
2205
02:29:12,000 --> 02:29:16,000
Strike two ball.
2206
02:29:16,000 --> 02:29:22,000
Third ball is for Stoveheye.
2207
02:29:22,000 --> 02:29:25,000
Mike Coughlin ball on the American League is in field.
2208
02:29:25,000 --> 02:29:30,000
the man is just as good as the start.
2209
02:29:30,000 --> 02:29:31,000
That was a ball not so good.
2210
02:29:31,000 --> 02:29:36,000
Two and two.
2211
02:29:36,000 --> 02:29:39,000
Last half of the sixth inning one man out.
2212
02:29:39,000 --> 02:29:44,000
Frankie Fish coming up next.
2213
02:29:44,000 --> 02:29:46,000
Two and two.
2214
02:29:46,000 --> 02:29:47,000
Out the long pass of the left field.
2215
02:29:47,000 --> 02:29:48,000
Simmons coming in fast.
2216
02:29:48,000 --> 02:29:50,000
Oh he makes a beautiful run in fast.
2217
02:29:50,000 --> 02:29:52,000
Lehigh coming in there at top speed.
2218
02:29:52,000 --> 02:29:54,000
About low line guard.
2219
02:29:54,000 --> 02:29:56,000
And now that's two out.
2220
02:29:56,000 --> 02:30:00,000
Two out and nobody out.
2221
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:04,000
Mike Fish coming up.
2222
02:30:04,000 --> 02:30:10,000
Frankie has a whole run based on balls and a single out of three trips to the plate.
2223
02:30:10,000 --> 02:30:15,000
Frankie you know, maxed up, ball up into the right field, upper deck for a home run.
2224
02:30:15,000 --> 02:30:20,000
First up on the first inning.
2225
02:30:20,000 --> 02:30:21,000
Very good.
2226
02:30:21,000 --> 02:30:25,000
Harder's fast ball is just a little bit too high.
2227
02:30:25,000 --> 02:30:26,000
Harder's pitching.
2228
02:30:26,000 --> 02:30:27,000
Coughlin's gapping.
2229
02:30:27,000 --> 02:30:28,000
Two out.
2230
02:30:28,000 --> 02:30:29,000
Last half of the sixth inning.
2231
02:30:29,000 --> 02:30:31,000
Frankie Fish is up.
2232
02:30:31,000 --> 02:30:32,000
Ball one.
2233
02:30:32,000 --> 02:30:34,000
This is round ball by Stork-Holland.
2234
02:30:34,000 --> 02:30:35,000
Comes up with it.
2235
02:30:35,000 --> 02:30:36,000
Marcus and Jerry.
2236
02:30:36,000 --> 02:30:38,000
Fish is out.
2237
02:30:38,000 --> 02:30:41,000
That's all for the National Leaguers in the sixth inning.
2238
02:30:41,000 --> 02:30:45,000
They've restored the American Leaguers 9, the National Leaguers 7.
2239
02:30:45,000 --> 02:30:48,000
This game is being sent to you by the National Broadcasting Company.
2240
02:30:48,000 --> 02:30:49,000
Get in for a bounce.
2241
02:30:49,000 --> 02:30:51,000
Well that's the end of the sixth down.
2242
02:30:51,000 --> 02:30:52,000
That's a read.
2243
02:30:52,000 --> 02:30:55,000
And the snap lead to the half of the sixth.
2244
02:30:55,000 --> 02:30:57,000
Just now in field.
2245
02:30:57,000 --> 02:31:01,000
And the National Leaguers up at bat lead off by Lopez.
2246
02:31:01,000 --> 02:31:02,000
Lopez is the captain.
2247
02:31:02,000 --> 02:31:05,000
the crowd is all getting up for the old seven inning stretch.
2248
02:31:05,000 --> 02:31:11,000
Here at the solo grounds, the all-star game between the American and National Leagues.
2249
02:31:11,000 --> 02:31:12,000
Lopez lead off.
2250
02:31:12,000 --> 02:31:15,000
the cap went to one ball and two strikes.
2251
02:31:15,000 --> 02:31:18,000
And then he swung hard and went down swinging.
2252
02:31:18,000 --> 02:31:19,000
One out.
2253
02:31:19,000 --> 02:31:20,000
Dean then came up.
2254
02:31:20,000 --> 02:31:21,000
Dizzy Dean.
2255
02:31:21,000 --> 02:31:22,000
the Dizzy of the Dean brothers.
2256
02:31:22,000 --> 02:31:24,000
As sometimes you read about him.
2257
02:31:24,000 --> 02:31:26,000
Came up and the cap went to two and two.
2258
02:31:26,000 --> 02:31:29,000
And then he smacked one into left field.
2259
02:31:29,000 --> 02:31:32,000
Simmons coming in very fast courted right at his knees.
2260
02:31:32,000 --> 02:31:36,000
Making a beautiful running shot out of Dean's fly out into left.
2261
02:31:36,000 --> 02:31:39,000
That was two outs for the National Leaguers in the sixth.
2262
02:31:39,000 --> 02:31:40,000
Then Frankie Frey.
2263
02:31:40,000 --> 02:31:43,000
Gordon Flats came up to bat.
2264
02:31:43,000 --> 02:31:46,000
Fishbanger hard one down to short.
2265
02:31:46,000 --> 02:31:48,000
Go on and look at him deep short.
2266
02:31:48,000 --> 02:31:50,000
Wheels got him down to first.
2267
02:31:50,000 --> 02:31:52,000
Luke Erick retiring the National League in the sixth.
2268
02:31:52,000 --> 02:31:53,000
We go into the seventh.
2269
02:31:53,000 --> 02:31:54,000
the seventh.
2270
02:31:54,000 --> 02:31:55,000
That's right.
2271
02:31:55,000 --> 02:31:56,000
Fifth time with the American League leading nine to seven.
2272
02:31:56,000 --> 02:32:00,000
Here's Tom Manning to give you the play-by-play of the seventh inning.
2273
02:32:00,000 --> 02:32:05,000
Laurie Herman replaces Mikey Fritz at second base for the National League.
2274
02:32:05,000 --> 02:32:09,000
Laurie Herman is playing second in place of Fritz.
2275
02:32:09,000 --> 02:32:10,000
Going is up.
2276
02:32:10,000 --> 02:32:13,000
Ball in.
2277
02:32:13,000 --> 02:32:14,000
Down two.
2278
02:32:14,000 --> 02:32:19,000
Dizzy Dean is still in the box for the National Leaguers with Lopez behind the back.
2279
02:32:19,000 --> 02:32:24,000
That's not good for Lopez on field.
2280
02:32:24,000 --> 02:32:26,000
Not a good on this two and nothing.
2281
02:32:26,000 --> 02:32:30,000
First foul.
2282
02:32:30,000 --> 02:32:35,000
Ball three and strike one.
2283
02:32:35,000 --> 02:32:36,000
First foul for the seventh inning.
2284
02:32:36,000 --> 02:32:37,000
Nine to seven.
2285
02:32:37,000 --> 02:32:38,000
the American League.
2286
02:32:38,000 --> 02:32:41,000
Ball three.
2287
02:32:41,000 --> 02:32:42,000
Amazing.
2288
02:32:42,000 --> 02:32:44,000
Two balls, three high.
2289
02:32:44,000 --> 02:32:51,000
Three and one.
2290
02:32:51,000 --> 02:32:53,000
Here it is.
2291
02:32:53,000 --> 02:32:56,000
Ball three and strike.
2292
02:32:56,000 --> 02:33:05,000
Ball three and strike for the Huskers.
2293
02:33:05,000 --> 02:33:08,000
Ball three and strike for the South Dominion.
2294
02:33:08,000 --> 02:33:10,000
Look out.
2295
02:33:10,000 --> 02:33:12,000
the Lions match up here in the third and the foul remains.
2296
02:33:12,000 --> 02:33:14,000
And it shall remain clean and clean.
2297
02:33:21,300 --> 02:33:23,900
As it slams out to right field, looks like a base clock.
2298
02:33:23,900 --> 02:33:25,900
It is! Just inside the line.
2299
02:33:25,900 --> 02:33:27,200
Kerringer's going to second.
2300
02:33:27,200 --> 02:33:28,200
Oh, here's the throw!
2301
02:33:28,200 --> 02:33:29,200
the 20-point!
2302
02:33:29,200 --> 02:33:30,200
He's out!
2303
02:33:31,900 --> 02:33:33,700
He is out at second base.
2304
02:33:33,700 --> 02:33:36,000
Kind of Kerringer playing one down into the right field.
2305
02:33:36,000 --> 02:33:38,200
Fires out off the floor with that on the ball.
2306
02:33:38,200 --> 02:33:39,600
Picks it up and the ball.
2307
02:33:39,600 --> 02:33:42,300
Kerringer arriving almost at the same time.
2308
02:33:42,300 --> 02:33:43,700
Kerringer's sliding in.
2309
02:33:43,700 --> 02:33:45,600
Hockey-borne took that ball and
2310
02:33:45,600 --> 02:33:49,000
locked it on Kerringer for a sweet, close play.
2311
02:33:49,000 --> 02:33:51,800
Pumpired George Moriarty at his nose.
2312
02:33:51,800 --> 02:33:53,900
Knocked five inches from that play.
2313
02:33:53,900 --> 02:33:55,400
20-to-clerk Kerringer out.
2314
02:33:55,400 --> 02:33:57,100
Well, that's another hit for Carly.
2315
02:33:58,800 --> 02:33:59,600
Two hits.
2316
02:33:59,600 --> 02:34:00,900
Two bases on the ball.
2317
02:34:00,900 --> 02:34:01,900
One out.
2318
02:34:02,800 --> 02:34:03,900
Mel Harder is up.
2319
02:34:03,900 --> 02:34:05,800
the American Leaguers pickers.
2320
02:34:05,800 --> 02:34:09,800
Mel hit all fast and smooth right-hander.
2321
02:34:16,800 --> 02:34:18,300
Mel Harder is up there.
2322
02:34:18,300 --> 02:34:19,800
And the count is 4-1.
2323
02:34:19,800 --> 02:34:20,800
And strike one.
2324
02:34:20,800 --> 02:34:22,300
First half of the seventh inning.
2325
02:34:22,300 --> 02:34:23,300
One man out.
2326
02:34:23,300 --> 02:34:24,300
Nobody on.
2327
02:34:24,300 --> 02:34:25,300
Here it is.
2328
02:34:25,300 --> 02:34:26,300
Strike two.
2329
02:34:26,300 --> 02:34:28,300
He cuts and misses.
2330
02:34:32,300 --> 02:34:34,800
Harder hurt his fingernail swinging that time.
2331
02:34:34,800 --> 02:34:36,300
He's out of the box and looks at it.
2332
02:34:36,300 --> 02:34:37,300
Put his right back in there.
2333
02:34:37,300 --> 02:34:38,300
Strike two, ball one.
2334
02:34:38,300 --> 02:34:39,300
the pitch.
2335
02:34:40,800 --> 02:34:42,300
Swung rather feebly at that one.
2336
02:34:42,300 --> 02:34:44,800
He started to swing and then tried to hold the swing.
2337
02:34:44,800 --> 02:34:46,300
And it was a foul ball.
2338
02:34:47,300 --> 02:34:49,300
Strike two and ball one.
2339
02:34:50,300 --> 02:34:53,300
That was dangerously close to being a bunch.
2340
02:34:56,800 --> 02:34:57,800
Strike two and ball one.
2341
02:34:57,800 --> 02:34:58,800
And here it is.
2342
02:34:59,800 --> 02:35:00,800
Strike three.
2343
02:35:00,800 --> 02:35:02,300
He swings as misses.
2344
02:35:02,300 --> 02:35:04,300
First half of the seventh inning.
2345
02:35:04,300 --> 02:35:05,300
Two men out.
2346
02:35:06,300 --> 02:35:08,300
Penny Chapman is coming up.
2347
02:35:14,300 --> 02:35:16,800
In the American League lineup at present,
2348
02:35:16,800 --> 02:35:19,300
the pitcher is batting second.
2349
02:35:20,800 --> 02:35:23,300
That occurs because early for the hit for the pitcher
2350
02:35:23,300 --> 02:35:24,300
went into the ball game.
2351
02:35:24,300 --> 02:35:25,300
And of course he was better.
2352
02:35:25,300 --> 02:35:26,800
He hits the first ball, hits the ball,
2353
02:35:26,800 --> 02:35:28,800
strikes in the deep center field,
2354
02:35:28,800 --> 02:35:32,300
hits going, going out against the center field.
2355
02:35:32,300 --> 02:35:33,800
Chapman is batting second.
2356
02:35:33,800 --> 02:35:34,800
Here's the ball.
2357
02:35:34,800 --> 02:35:36,300
Chapman's going to third.
2358
02:35:36,300 --> 02:35:37,800
He drops it for a base.
2359
02:35:38,800 --> 02:35:43,800
That was a long strike out against the 455 foot line
2360
02:35:43,800 --> 02:35:45,800
and left center field.
2361
02:35:47,300 --> 02:35:51,300
Chuck Klein and Paul Wehner both dashing out there for it.
2362
02:35:51,300 --> 02:35:53,300
But they were a mile away from it.
2363
02:35:53,300 --> 02:35:54,300
Here's the vernacular.
2364
02:35:54,800 --> 02:35:56,300
Both got right on going.
2365
02:35:56,300 --> 02:35:59,300
Hands to the plant about against the scoreboard.
2366
02:36:04,300 --> 02:36:07,300
That was quite a stock buy for Penny Chapman.
2367
02:36:07,300 --> 02:36:10,300
And how that baby can dash around the base.
2368
02:36:11,800 --> 02:36:12,800
Two men out.
2369
02:36:12,800 --> 02:36:14,300
And Luke Gehrig is up.
2370
02:36:16,800 --> 02:36:19,300
You tell me this Gehrig is quite a ball player.
2371
02:36:20,300 --> 02:36:21,300
Two men out.
2372
02:36:21,800 --> 02:36:23,300
Chapman on third.
2373
02:36:23,800 --> 02:36:25,800
Disney's team, the white hander is in the box.
2374
02:36:25,800 --> 02:36:27,300
And Luke Gehrig is up.
2375
02:36:27,300 --> 02:36:28,300
Strike one.
2376
02:36:28,300 --> 02:36:29,300
Call.
2377
02:36:34,300 --> 02:36:35,300
Here's the windup.
2378
02:36:37,300 --> 02:36:38,300
Ball.
2379
02:36:38,300 --> 02:36:40,800
A burning back ball is high on the outside
2380
02:36:40,800 --> 02:36:43,800
on the count on Gehrig's ball one and strike two.
2381
02:36:47,300 --> 02:36:48,800
Luke Gehrig is off.
2382
02:36:48,800 --> 02:36:51,300
Pump fire Olin to examine the ball.
2383
02:36:51,300 --> 02:36:52,300
He does.
2384
02:36:52,300 --> 02:36:54,300
Luke Gehrig was right.
2385
02:36:54,800 --> 02:36:58,300
Ball is both out of the game and now we have a new one.
2386
02:37:01,800 --> 02:37:05,300
Count on Larabee-Louis ball one and strike one.
2387
02:37:08,300 --> 02:37:11,300
First half of the seventh inning, nine to seven in favor of the American League.
2388
02:37:11,300 --> 02:37:12,300
Nine to seven.
2389
02:37:12,800 --> 02:37:13,800
To us.
2390
02:37:13,800 --> 02:37:15,300
Chapman is on third.
2391
02:37:16,300 --> 02:37:17,300
Strike.
2392
02:37:17,300 --> 02:37:18,300
Call.
2393
02:37:18,300 --> 02:37:22,300
Out of the count on Luke Gehrig is strike two and ball one.
2394
02:37:30,300 --> 02:37:33,300
Four-five Disney's team is looking at Gehrig saying
2395
02:37:33,300 --> 02:37:36,300
you're just a big bad wolf and I ain't scared.
2396
02:37:36,300 --> 02:37:38,300
It is two-one.
2397
02:37:38,300 --> 02:37:39,300
Strike three.
2398
02:37:39,300 --> 02:37:40,300
Call.
2399
02:37:40,300 --> 02:37:43,300
That was a fast ball right by the alley.
2400
02:37:43,300 --> 02:37:45,300
So high with plenty on it.
2401
02:37:45,300 --> 02:37:47,300
That's all for the game.
2402
02:37:47,300 --> 02:37:50,300
That's all for the American League and the seventh inning.
2403
02:37:50,300 --> 02:37:52,300
I want to mention the grab balloon that is on it.
2404
02:37:52,300 --> 02:37:56,300
Judge Landis is out there as is Mrs. Landis
2405
02:37:56,300 --> 02:38:02,300
and plenty of the baseball owners throughout the American and National Leagues.
2406
02:38:03,300 --> 02:38:05,300
It's all up for the old seventh inning.
2407
02:38:05,300 --> 02:38:06,300
Strike together.
2408
02:38:06,300 --> 02:38:07,300
Here's four-five.
2409
02:38:07,300 --> 02:38:08,300
Come on, four-five.
2410
02:38:08,300 --> 02:38:09,300
That's from all the Americans.
2411
02:38:09,300 --> 02:38:10,300
From all the fans.
2412
02:38:10,300 --> 02:38:13,300
the American League fans, the National League fans here in New York.
2413
02:38:13,300 --> 02:38:18,300
They're out to root and doing plenty of rooting and getting plenty to root about in this all-star game
2414
02:38:18,300 --> 02:38:20,300
with the National Broadcasting Company is bringing to you.
2415
02:38:20,300 --> 02:38:25,300
First pass to seventh league, seventh inning with the American League.
2416
02:38:25,300 --> 02:38:28,300
Judge is firing now to let the National Leagueers come in for their half of it.
2417
02:38:28,300 --> 02:38:30,300
It's not as though that fan was gearing to his bat.
2418
02:38:30,300 --> 02:38:34,300
It went to three and two and he smacked one off the right field side.
2419
02:38:34,300 --> 02:38:35,300
the second was out to second.
2420
02:38:35,300 --> 02:38:36,300
Off to Vaughn.
2421
02:38:36,300 --> 02:38:39,300
Off wing gets down to Vaughn and a very close decision there.
2422
02:38:39,300 --> 02:38:41,300
Gehrig's it was out.
2423
02:38:41,300 --> 02:38:42,300
Harder then came up.
2424
02:38:42,300 --> 02:38:46,300
the count went to one and two and he swung hard and two and then were gone.
2425
02:38:46,300 --> 02:38:49,300
Then Ben Chapman replaced Dave Ruth in right field.
2426
02:38:49,300 --> 02:38:51,300
Ben Chapman came up to bat.
2427
02:38:51,300 --> 02:38:57,300
Leamed on that old apple hard and he smashed the leather way up to the bullpen in left field.
2428
02:38:57,300 --> 02:39:01,300
Four hundred and fifty-five foot marks from the plate.
2429
02:39:01,300 --> 02:39:05,300
That's a re-four hundred and fifty-five foot mark out there for a three-pagger.
2430
02:39:05,300 --> 02:39:10,300
He wheeled his way in the third and looked for a moment as if he wanted to try to tuck it into a homer.
2431
02:39:10,300 --> 02:39:14,300
Gehrig came up and went out on false strike.
2432
02:39:14,300 --> 02:39:17,300
So we go into the nationally dropped to seven.
2433
02:39:17,300 --> 02:39:18,300
the American League leading nine to seven.
2434
02:39:18,300 --> 02:39:20,300
Coming down.
2435
02:39:20,300 --> 02:39:27,300
My trainer, four days into the sixth and final, his first step of right hand huddle was no harder than the box from the American League.
2436
02:39:27,300 --> 02:39:31,300
And then he stopped in behind the bat.
2437
02:39:31,300 --> 02:39:38,300
the first pitch to my trainer is a false strike.
2438
02:39:38,300 --> 02:39:43,300
the ball swings at the foul, strike two.
2439
02:39:43,300 --> 02:39:49,300
the American League infield is Gehrig, Gallinger, Cronin, and Fox.
2440
02:39:49,300 --> 02:39:54,300
In the outfield at the moment, Simmons on left, Averill in center, and Chapman on left.
2441
02:39:54,300 --> 02:39:58,300
the battery being harder and Coughlin.
2442
02:39:58,300 --> 02:40:01,300
Strike two on the header, trainer.
2443
02:40:01,300 --> 02:40:02,300
Ball one.
2444
02:40:02,300 --> 02:40:10,300
Coughlin is outside. Coughlin is throwing that ball down toward third.
2445
02:40:10,300 --> 02:40:16,300
Probably thought he had a corner, but the count is two and one.
2446
02:40:16,300 --> 02:40:18,300
Strike two and ball one.
2447
02:40:18,300 --> 02:40:21,300
Here it is.
2448
02:40:21,300 --> 02:40:24,300
A tipped foul gets away from Coughlin and the count remains.
2449
02:40:24,300 --> 02:40:29,300
Strike two and ball one.
2450
02:40:29,300 --> 02:40:38,300
My trainer, first man up with a match in the league in the last half of the seventh inning.
2451
02:40:38,300 --> 02:40:40,300
Here it is.
2452
02:40:40,300 --> 02:40:44,300
As a high flyboard right field, it's Fowl.
2453
02:40:44,300 --> 02:40:47,300
And the count remains two and one.
2454
02:40:47,300 --> 02:40:57,300
That was a long strike that hit the bow here in front of the floorboard and right field.
2455
02:40:57,300 --> 02:41:03,300
My trainer has a counter strike two and ball one, leading off for the master league in the last half of the seventh inning.
2456
02:41:03,300 --> 02:41:06,300
the American League nine, the master league seven.
2457
02:41:06,300 --> 02:41:09,300
the pitch, a brown ball down, first off way.
2458
02:41:09,300 --> 02:41:11,300
Keep short, Cronin has it.
2459
02:41:11,300 --> 02:41:12,300
He's out.
2460
02:41:12,300 --> 02:41:15,300
A beautiful long throw from keep short by Joey Cronin.
2461
02:41:15,300 --> 02:41:18,300
Gehrig, stretching full length to snag that ball.
2462
02:41:18,300 --> 02:41:20,300
And trainer is out by a step.
2463
02:41:20,300 --> 02:41:25,300
A pretty play by Joe Cronin.
2464
02:41:25,300 --> 02:41:32,300
That was perhaps the outstanding infield play of the afternoon.
2465
02:41:32,300 --> 02:41:39,300
Up to now we say the outstanding outfield play was that catch up by Guy Carley early in the game.
2466
02:41:39,300 --> 02:41:41,300
Chuck Ryan is up there.
2467
02:41:41,300 --> 02:41:43,300
Chuck, you know, hits him from the point side.
2468
02:41:43,300 --> 02:41:45,300
He swings and misses.
2469
02:41:45,300 --> 02:41:48,300
A good foul that Coughlin held.
2470
02:41:48,300 --> 02:41:51,300
That was a very pretty picture to gaze upon.
2471
02:41:51,300 --> 02:41:54,300
Chuck Ryan in those days a fine play.
2472
02:41:54,300 --> 02:41:55,300
A foul.
2473
02:41:55,300 --> 02:41:58,300
Third ball, in flow, outside.
2474
02:41:58,300 --> 02:42:07,300
Ball one and strike one.
2475
02:42:07,300 --> 02:42:09,300
Ball one, strike one, the pitch.
2476
02:42:09,300 --> 02:42:12,300
Ball two, which is too high.
2477
02:42:12,300 --> 02:42:17,300
Last half of the seventh inning, one man in seventh and five.
2478
02:42:17,300 --> 02:42:22,300
the American League nine, the master league seven.
2479
02:42:22,300 --> 02:42:24,300
Here it is.
2480
02:42:24,300 --> 02:42:27,300
Get the ball, strike two.
2481
02:42:27,300 --> 02:42:36,300
Canter, Chuck Ryan is ball two, strike two.
2482
02:42:36,300 --> 02:42:42,300
Now up, hanging around on plate.
2483
02:42:42,300 --> 02:42:45,300
Ball two and strike two, one out, nobody on last half of the seventh.
2484
02:42:45,300 --> 02:42:47,300
No honor to 15, Coughlin catching.
2485
02:42:47,300 --> 02:42:49,300
That was a lazy hopper zone.
2486
02:42:49,300 --> 02:42:52,300
First, Gehrig has it.
2487
02:42:52,300 --> 02:42:53,300
Harder, covers the man.
2488
02:42:53,300 --> 02:43:01,300
Harder, goes at the lay from Harder and trying to save.
2489
02:43:01,300 --> 02:43:06,300
That's an error for, no honor to 15.
2490
02:43:06,300 --> 02:43:09,300
Gehrig is giving his time with the error.
2491
02:43:09,300 --> 02:43:11,300
That was a lazy hopper zone.
2492
02:43:11,300 --> 02:43:13,300
First base play.
2493
02:43:13,300 --> 02:43:16,300
Gehrig ran over to get the ball and crossing it underhand to Harder.
2494
02:43:16,300 --> 02:43:18,300
Harder going at top speed.
2495
02:43:18,300 --> 02:43:21,300
Gehrig just did justice this one to the pit.
2496
02:43:21,300 --> 02:43:24,300
Hands through to the right field side of first base.
2497
02:43:24,300 --> 02:43:26,300
Harder had his fingertips on the ball but couldn't hold it.
2498
02:43:26,300 --> 02:43:32,300
So of course Gehrig will be tied with an error.
2499
02:43:32,300 --> 02:43:35,300
Something has happened down there to Joe Coughlin.
2500
02:43:35,300 --> 02:43:39,300
Charlie Cary is Joe Coughlin, an unbiased morality.
2501
02:43:39,300 --> 02:43:45,300
Oh Joe, you broke his belt down there, I believe.
2502
02:43:45,300 --> 02:43:48,300
No blame for breaking a fret on that last play.
2503
02:43:48,300 --> 02:43:50,300
He's probably breaking first and second as well.
2504
02:43:50,300 --> 02:43:59,300
That was a slow play.
2505
02:43:59,300 --> 02:44:01,300
That breakfast was good going this morning.
2506
02:44:01,300 --> 02:44:03,300
I'm sure it wasn't eating too much.
2507
02:44:03,300 --> 02:44:06,300
But well, anyway, Joe's ready to go and we're ready to go with the long start of the 7th inning.
2508
02:44:06,300 --> 02:44:09,300
One man out, the plan is on first.
2509
02:44:09,300 --> 02:44:10,300
the route is up.
2510
02:44:10,300 --> 02:44:12,300
the score is 9 to 7.
2511
02:44:12,300 --> 02:44:14,300
Anything can happen.
2512
02:44:14,300 --> 02:44:21,300
the fans out here at the ball of Johnson, New York are well aware of it.
2513
02:44:21,300 --> 02:44:23,300
Melado's up there.
2514
02:44:23,300 --> 02:44:27,300
Knocked the first off and she gets right in there close to the plate and we're ready to go.
2515
02:44:27,300 --> 02:44:29,300
He swings with the high-bounder down short.
2516
02:44:29,300 --> 02:44:32,300
Boomer, who's down here?
2517
02:44:32,300 --> 02:44:34,300
Just climbs wide in the carryover.
2518
02:44:34,300 --> 02:44:35,300
No further plays.
2519
02:44:35,300 --> 02:44:37,300
Good defense.
2520
02:44:37,300 --> 02:44:40,300
Carrying a plan to top the ball over the carry.
2521
02:44:40,300 --> 02:44:42,300
That was useless.
2522
02:44:42,300 --> 02:44:44,300
That was one of those real high-bounders.
2523
02:44:44,300 --> 02:44:46,300
It's down at about 20 feet in the air.
2524
02:44:46,300 --> 02:44:50,300
Boomer's going in fast, hits it over to Gary and they're getting just 20 on the fourth,
2525
02:44:50,300 --> 02:44:54,300
they're second, and then just towards the heart of the second base.
2526
02:44:54,300 --> 02:44:56,300
And that's just Gary there a little bit.
2527
02:44:56,300 --> 02:45:05,300
Just enough to make it impossible for a play.
2528
02:45:05,300 --> 02:45:07,300
Oh, there goes the left-hander.
2529
02:45:07,300 --> 02:45:10,300
Oh, there's no hit to left-hander.
2530
02:45:10,300 --> 02:45:12,300
Two more outs.
2531
02:45:12,300 --> 02:45:13,300
Go out on third base.
2532
02:45:13,300 --> 02:45:18,300
All around.
2533
02:45:18,300 --> 02:45:19,300
All three.
2534
02:45:19,300 --> 02:45:20,300
Go for it.
2535
02:45:20,300 --> 02:45:27,300
Boomer turns away from the plate and the count is two and nothing.
2536
02:45:27,300 --> 02:45:29,300
That's all for the 720.
2537
02:45:29,300 --> 02:45:30,300
Two outs.
2538
02:45:30,300 --> 02:45:34,300
Go out on first base.
2539
02:45:34,300 --> 02:45:38,300
It is a very high style.
2540
02:45:38,300 --> 02:45:43,300
Lee Perry goes coming in, half-way between first and half.
2541
02:45:43,300 --> 02:45:47,300
He's under it and has it, retiring the National Leaguers in the seventh inning.
2542
02:45:47,300 --> 02:45:52,300
At the end of the second inning, the score, American League ninth, the National League seventh.
2543
02:45:52,300 --> 02:45:57,300
This game coming from the follow ground and is being sent to you by the National Broadcasting Company.
2544
02:45:57,300 --> 02:45:59,300
Come in forward.
2545
02:45:59,300 --> 02:46:04,300
the National League top of the seventh started off with Pye Boomer up to bat to face no harder,
2546
02:46:04,300 --> 02:46:11,300
the curveball artist, and Pye Cronin banged one out to deep short where Cronin took the ticket and shot it to Gehrig.
2547
02:46:11,300 --> 02:46:18,300
And Cronin was out at first on a very, very close decision, but a beautiful play by Cronin,
2548
02:46:18,300 --> 02:46:21,300
taking that ball and shooting it over to Gehrig.
2549
02:46:21,300 --> 02:46:23,300
Then Klein came to bat.
2550
02:46:23,300 --> 02:46:28,300
Josh Klein, the heavy hitter of the Cubs, and banged one hard down to Gehrig.
2551
02:46:28,300 --> 02:46:30,300
Harder, ran over to cover first.
2552
02:46:30,300 --> 02:46:34,300
Gehrig tossed it underhanded to harder.
2553
02:46:34,300 --> 02:46:39,300
It just hit the tip of his fingers and bound it out, and Klein was safe on the error.
2554
02:46:39,300 --> 02:46:42,300
Klein on first then with one out.
2555
02:46:42,300 --> 02:46:45,300
Neloff coming up to bat, one on and one out.
2556
02:46:45,300 --> 02:46:47,300
Neloff smacked one down to Cronin.
2557
02:46:47,300 --> 02:46:49,300
Cronin tossed to Gehrig, forcing out Klein.
2558
02:46:49,300 --> 02:46:54,300
Gehrig shot it down to Gehrig, but up at speed to throw.
2559
02:46:54,300 --> 02:46:56,300
So it was one on and two off.
2560
02:46:56,300 --> 02:47:00,300
the winner at bat, who hit a high fly with Gehrig, came in and took her time to side.
2561
02:47:00,300 --> 02:47:03,300
And here we go into the American League, top of the eighth.
2562
02:47:03,300 --> 02:47:05,300
Jaren Fong, come in.
2563
02:47:05,300 --> 02:47:08,300
Jimmy Fong, right-hand hitter, is first up with Izzy Dean in the box,
2564
02:47:08,300 --> 02:47:12,300
Lopez behind the bat, and Fong takes a terrific putt at the first one and misses.
2565
02:47:12,300 --> 02:47:13,300
Strike one.
2566
02:47:13,300 --> 02:47:18,300
No changes as we start the eighth inning.
2567
02:47:18,300 --> 02:47:21,300
Ball on a fastball is too high.
2568
02:47:21,300 --> 02:47:27,300
Fong carries on first, Jimmy Herman on second, Fong short, trainer third.
2569
02:47:27,300 --> 02:47:33,300
Off to the right field, Paul Wehner is in center, and Suc Klein is in left, as is the left.
2570
02:47:33,300 --> 02:47:37,300
There's a long strike by either left field, Suc Klein is coming in,
2571
02:47:37,300 --> 02:47:44,300
and Fong going out, and nobody is able to get there, and Fong pulls up at second.
2572
02:47:44,300 --> 02:47:50,300
Suc Klein was playing over in deep left underfield that time for Jimmy Fong,
2573
02:47:50,300 --> 02:47:52,300
and he's looking up towards the stands to other family.
2574
02:47:52,300 --> 02:47:55,300
He lost the ball and the start.
2575
02:47:55,300 --> 02:47:59,300
He came over and tried to reach the ball with his outstretched left hand,
2576
02:47:59,300 --> 02:48:01,300
but missed it by about a foot.
2577
02:48:01,300 --> 02:48:07,300
It is justly scored as a two-base shot for Jimmy Fong.
2578
02:48:07,300 --> 02:48:13,300
Al Simmons, another right-hand batter is up next.
2579
02:48:13,300 --> 02:48:28,300
All reliable Al Simmons. Here it is, ball on.
2580
02:48:28,300 --> 02:48:31,300
Great drive for the eighth inning, and nobody else.
2581
02:48:31,300 --> 02:48:34,300
Fong's down second.
2582
02:48:34,300 --> 02:48:36,300
Ball's two.
2583
02:48:36,300 --> 02:48:40,300
Team fastball is trying the outside corner on Al Simmons.
2584
02:48:40,300 --> 02:48:42,300
Just barely missed with those two.
2585
02:48:42,300 --> 02:48:44,300
There's the stretch.
2586
02:48:44,300 --> 02:48:46,300
the pitch.
2587
02:48:46,300 --> 02:48:49,300
the swing is just a wide, short pass and goes the stretch.
2588
02:48:49,300 --> 02:48:51,300
the pitch.
2589
02:48:51,300 --> 02:48:54,300
the swing is just a wide, short left field.
2590
02:48:54,300 --> 02:48:56,300
Fong going out fast. He's under it.
2591
02:48:56,300 --> 02:48:58,300
Apparently makes a nice copy of it.
2592
02:48:58,300 --> 02:49:03,300
Archie Fong goes rather deep into left field to make that shot.
2593
02:49:03,300 --> 02:49:09,300
You know, with Fong and Simmons at bat, Bill Terry, he's the manager today at least,
2594
02:49:09,300 --> 02:49:13,300
and just trying to play over in deep left center field.
2595
02:49:13,300 --> 02:49:16,300
That was almost another hit for the American Leaguers,
2596
02:49:16,300 --> 02:49:22,300
but Archie Fong was able to travel back-back to put the ball over his shoulder in short left field.
2597
02:49:22,300 --> 02:49:30,300
One man out. Joe Fong is up there.
2598
02:49:30,300 --> 02:49:33,300
As he hits the first ball, a line smashes the way.
2599
02:49:33,300 --> 02:49:36,300
Center field, all wingers goes over and makes the catch.
2600
02:49:36,300 --> 02:49:45,300
That whips it back into second base. It is taken there by Archie Fong, but Fong gets back safe.
2601
02:49:45,300 --> 02:49:48,300
Joe Fong is still at that ball right on the scene.
2602
02:49:48,300 --> 02:49:52,300
Low line drive, ball later in right center.
2603
02:49:52,300 --> 02:49:59,300
Mike Coughlin is coming up.
2604
02:49:59,300 --> 02:50:07,300
He's being announced over the loudspeaker as the manager of the Detroit Tigers, Mike Coughlin.
2605
02:50:07,300 --> 02:50:10,300
Mike's doing a swell job over there too.
2606
02:50:10,300 --> 02:50:14,300
Two men out, you know. Box is on second.
2607
02:50:14,300 --> 02:50:20,300
Strike, ball.
2608
02:50:20,300 --> 02:50:25,300
Izzy Dean, ball right-hander, and the St. Louis Cardinals is in the box.
2609
02:50:25,300 --> 02:50:29,300
Ball.
2610
02:50:29,300 --> 02:50:33,300
Outstretched comes over, retrieves the ball, and whips it back over to Lopez.
2611
02:50:33,300 --> 02:50:36,300
Lopez to the umpire, we're ready to go.
2612
02:50:36,300 --> 02:50:44,300
Fight two on Mickey Coughlin.
2613
02:50:44,300 --> 02:50:49,300
First half of the eighth inning, American League nine, National League seven.
2614
02:50:49,300 --> 02:50:52,300
Two men out, box is on second.
2615
02:50:52,300 --> 02:50:57,300
There it is.
2616
02:50:57,300 --> 02:50:59,300
Ball one.
2617
02:50:59,300 --> 02:51:04,300
the battery started to walk toward the dugout.
2618
02:51:04,300 --> 02:51:07,300
Strike two and ball one. the battery is cut at the core level for Victor Holmes.
2619
02:51:07,300 --> 02:51:12,300
He wouldn't stand for it, however.
2620
02:51:12,300 --> 02:51:16,300
Mickey Coughlin is holding his spot down there by the knees on the inside of the plate,
2621
02:51:16,300 --> 02:51:18,300
indicating that he thought it was low inside.
2622
02:51:18,300 --> 02:51:22,300
Anyway, the count is strike two and ball one.
2623
02:51:22,300 --> 02:51:27,300
First half of the eighth inning, two men out.
2624
02:51:27,300 --> 02:51:32,300
Izzy Dean pitching and Lopez catching.
2625
02:51:32,300 --> 02:51:35,300
Strike two, ball one.
2626
02:51:35,300 --> 02:51:41,300
Izzy Dean steps off the rubber. Box goes back, cuts his second base.
2627
02:51:41,300 --> 02:51:47,300
Dean then picks up the rods and balls, and we're ready to go.
2628
02:51:47,300 --> 02:51:54,300
We have a lot of canaries out here for the moment, everybody whistling for some reason.
2629
02:51:54,300 --> 02:51:57,300
They're all mocking Al Schacht.
2630
02:51:57,300 --> 02:52:00,300
Battle two inside.
2631
02:52:00,300 --> 02:52:07,300
Al Schacht and all 50 percent of that great comedy team of Al Schacht and Schacht.
2632
02:52:07,300 --> 02:52:11,300
All Al starts to whistle, everybody seems to follow suit.
2633
02:52:11,300 --> 02:52:13,300
Strike two, ball two.
2634
02:52:13,300 --> 02:52:18,300
Now, Mickey Coughlin, the pitch, it's a ground ball, a lazy grounder down second.
2635
02:52:18,300 --> 02:52:22,300
Puppets in fast and slow, a beautiful play, and Coughlin is out at first,
2636
02:52:22,300 --> 02:52:26,300
retiring the American Leaguers in the first half of the eighth inning.
2637
02:52:26,300 --> 02:52:28,300
Come in fourth.
2638
02:52:28,300 --> 02:52:31,300
Well, it's now about ten minutes past four o'clock,
2639
02:52:31,300 --> 02:52:35,300
and this baseball game starts at 1.30 Eastern Daylight Saving Time.
2640
02:52:35,300 --> 02:52:41,300
And for the two hours and 40 minutes, it's been transparent here in the Polo Ground
2641
02:52:41,300 --> 02:52:45,300
where the American League All-Stars and the National League All-Stars
2642
02:52:45,300 --> 02:52:48,300
are presented to you by the National Broadcasting Company
2643
02:52:48,300 --> 02:52:52,300
from the Polo Ground here in New York where we've just finished the first half of the eighth inning.
2644
02:52:52,300 --> 02:52:56,300
the American League at bat, Fox came up and banged a high fly into left field,
2645
02:52:56,300 --> 02:52:59,300
and Chuck Klein, who's been playing way out deep in left center,
2646
02:52:59,300 --> 02:53:05,300
ran hard, down fast, but couldn't quite get to it and went for a two-base hit for Fox.
2647
02:53:05,300 --> 02:53:07,300
Simmons came up.
2648
02:53:07,300 --> 02:53:11,300
Simmons came up, and Vaughn backed out into left field
2649
02:53:11,300 --> 02:53:17,300
and took a fly from Simmons almost in the same place on which Fox had gotten two bases.
2650
02:53:17,300 --> 02:53:22,300
Then Coughlin came up the bat with one on and one out, lined one hard at the center field.
2651
02:53:22,300 --> 02:53:27,300
Paul Wanner moved over very fast and cleared it just as it threatened to go by him.
2652
02:53:27,300 --> 02:53:30,300
So there were two men down and still one on.
2653
02:53:30,300 --> 02:53:36,300
Coughlin came up. Coughlin banged a slow one just right down about 20 feet off second base.
2654
02:53:36,300 --> 02:53:40,300
Thurman came in fast, grouped it up on the fly, banged and wheeled it over to Terry,
2655
02:53:40,300 --> 02:53:42,300
retiring the American League in the eighth.
2656
02:53:42,300 --> 02:53:45,300
the score is American League nine, the National League seven,
2657
02:53:45,300 --> 02:53:50,300
as we go into the National League half of the eighth inning with Bill Terry just coming up the bat.
2658
02:53:50,300 --> 02:53:53,300
All right, Tom Manning, come in.
2659
02:53:53,300 --> 02:53:57,300
the American League is better, you know, as we come to the last half of the eighth inning.
2660
02:53:57,300 --> 02:53:59,300
Mel Harder of the Cleveland Indians is in the box.
2661
02:53:59,300 --> 02:54:04,300
Mickey Coughlin of the Detroit Tigers, the captain and manager, is behind the bat.
2662
02:54:04,300 --> 02:54:10,300
Infield is the same, Fox is at third, Coughlin at short, Scherringer at second, and Jerry at first.
2663
02:54:10,300 --> 02:54:14,300
the outfield is Chapman in right, Averill is center, Simmons in left.
2664
02:54:14,300 --> 02:54:16,300
They're ready to go with Terry, left-handed, and the rest.
2665
02:54:16,300 --> 02:54:21,300
Holds it back down and hits the bump, but pulls it back and it's declared a strike.
2666
02:54:21,300 --> 02:54:27,300
Harder's curveball, catching the outside corner of the plate.
2667
02:54:27,300 --> 02:54:35,300
That's the drillers up there, and here's the pitch. That's the ball. Another curveball down to Ross Terry's feet.
2668
02:54:35,300 --> 02:54:38,300
Hand-to-counter, ball runs and strike one.
2669
02:54:38,300 --> 02:54:46,300
It's the last half of the eighth inning. the National League is two runs behind, nine and seven.
2670
02:54:46,300 --> 02:54:53,300
Here it is. A ground ball to the box, Tom Manning over near the track, takes it, pounce, he's out.
2671
02:54:53,300 --> 02:54:55,300
Another pretty play by Bill Turner.
2672
02:54:55,300 --> 02:55:00,300
That was a foul to the fast drill, harder, and Tom Manning's act over close to second base pushing,
2673
02:55:00,300 --> 02:55:06,300
picked it up and went out of position, whips it over to Scherring, and Terry was out on a fast play.
2674
02:55:06,300 --> 02:55:10,300
Nobody on. He's on. Nobody on.
2675
02:55:15,300 --> 02:55:20,300
Aki Bowen, left-hand hitter. All the pitch-first pilots is up.
2676
02:55:20,300 --> 02:55:27,300
Hits the first ball, six-pounce, short. Tom Manning comes up with it. the throw is wide, but Terry reaches over
2677
02:55:27,300 --> 02:55:34,300
and strikes the ball, and he is out. Scherring is getting a nice round of applause for that act over at first base.
2678
02:55:34,300 --> 02:55:40,300
That was a scorching curveball, and Joe Tom Manning has his own way, left a little bit for it,
2679
02:55:40,300 --> 02:55:47,300
and picked it up and has it passed fast to get ball. Tom goes down to first base like nobody's business.
2680
02:55:47,300 --> 02:55:52,300
Thought it was a slow play, two outs, nobody on. Lopez is up.
2681
02:55:52,300 --> 02:55:58,300
Hits the first ball, hits the long side, close to the foul line, ends his stand, but it's fouled.
2682
02:55:58,300 --> 02:56:07,300
That ball hit the stands out in right field. That was fouled by about a yard and a half.
2683
02:56:07,300 --> 02:56:14,300
Strike one, Lopez has gone to first base and was on his way to second.
2684
02:56:14,300 --> 02:56:21,300
That's a camp run on foul ball.
2685
02:56:21,300 --> 02:56:30,300
He's up by right on his toes this afternoon. He's had some pretty hard line decisions to make, particularly
2686
02:56:30,300 --> 02:56:35,300
George Moriality. George was over here at third, had a couple of close ones earlier in the game.
2687
02:56:35,300 --> 02:56:41,300
Now he's over there at second, and he's had a couple of funny close ones out there at second.
2688
02:56:41,300 --> 02:56:49,300
the boys, the family are all satisfied with his up. Boys in blue this afternoon are doing a sweet job out here.
2689
02:56:49,300 --> 02:56:54,300
Lopez is back to the plate. He hits the next one, a high, lazy, barred, or down three.
2690
02:56:54,300 --> 02:57:00,300
Pops to carry Lopez is out at the end of the eighth inning. No runs, no hits, and no errors.
2691
02:57:00,300 --> 02:57:06,300
At the end of the eighth inning is the score of the American League 9, the National League 7.
2692
02:57:06,300 --> 02:57:10,300
This game coming to you from the Polo Browns of New York City.
2693
02:57:10,300 --> 02:57:14,300
This is for the Massable Forecasting Company. Come in forward.
2694
02:57:14,300 --> 02:57:21,300
Well, the junior circuit certainly made short work of the elder league in the eighth inning here.
2695
02:57:21,300 --> 02:57:26,300
the National League came up with Phil Cary at bat, and he banged out one of his usual high ones down to short,
2696
02:57:26,300 --> 02:57:32,300
and Joe Cronin took it on the run, got it over to Gehrig, and he was out.
2697
02:57:32,300 --> 02:57:35,300
A sweet short drop to this man, Cronin.
2698
02:57:35,300 --> 02:57:40,300
Cronin came to bat, and Cronin got up, pushed her down to deep short.
2699
02:57:40,300 --> 02:57:44,300
Cronin got it right down between his ankles, picked it up, threw the first,
2700
02:57:44,300 --> 02:57:49,300
and Gehrig then threw a terrific round of applause by keeping his left foot on the bag,
2701
02:57:49,300 --> 02:57:55,300
sending out, it looked like, almost two yards, and winging that ball, that wide throw from Cronin,
2702
02:57:55,300 --> 02:58:00,300
retiring Cronin, and the crowd did show their appreciation of Lou Gehrig as they usually do.
2703
02:58:00,300 --> 02:58:06,300
They wouldn't have as much get-fat Lou at first if it was in shooting distance of Lou's gloves.
2704
02:58:06,300 --> 02:58:08,300
Then Lopez came to bat.
2705
02:58:08,300 --> 02:58:12,300
Lopez banged one hard down between the short, top, and third.
2706
02:58:12,300 --> 02:58:19,300
Third base about 18, or at least six to eight yards, but Fox went over fast, took it,
2707
02:58:19,300 --> 02:58:23,300
got it across on that long peg from third to first, retiring Lopez.
2708
02:58:23,300 --> 02:58:30,300
They went down in one, two, three order, Terry, Vaughn, and Lopez in the National League half of the eighth inning.
2709
02:58:30,300 --> 02:58:34,300
We're moving now into the ninth, ninth inning of this All-Star game,
2710
02:58:34,300 --> 02:58:37,300
with the American League coming to bat leading by two runs.
2711
02:58:37,300 --> 02:58:43,300
They scored two runs in the fourth, six in the fifth, and one in the sixth,
2712
02:58:43,300 --> 02:58:49,300
or a total of nine, while the National Leaguers scored one tally in the first inning,
2713
02:58:49,300 --> 02:58:53,300
one in the third, and three in the fifth. They trail now by seven.
2714
02:58:53,300 --> 02:58:58,300
Nine through seven is the score with the American League coming up to bat here in the ninth inning.
2715
02:58:58,300 --> 02:59:02,300
Here's Tom Manning to give it to you. Come in Tom.
2716
02:59:02,300 --> 02:59:07,300
One of the fine things of this ballgame is practically everybody out here has gotten into the ballgame,
2717
02:59:07,300 --> 02:59:11,300
as expected to on the side of the National League particularly.
2718
02:59:11,300 --> 02:59:18,300
So far, Rick Ferrell, Jimmy Dyke, Frank Higgins, and West haven't broken into the lineup
2719
02:59:18,300 --> 02:59:23,300
of the American League. All of the pitchers, practically all of the catchers,
2720
02:59:23,300 --> 02:59:28,300
outfielders, and infielders of the National League have had their turn now.
2721
02:59:28,300 --> 02:59:33,300
Ready to go in the first half of the ninth inning, Earl Averill of the Cleveland Indians,
2722
02:59:33,300 --> 02:59:37,300
the left-hand batter is first up, and Frank Houch, Frank Houch of the Boston Braves,
2723
02:59:37,300 --> 02:59:41,300
the little right-hander is on the mound for the National Leaguers.
2724
02:59:41,300 --> 02:59:46,300
That seems to be the only change in the lineup as we play the ninth inning.
2725
02:59:46,300 --> 02:59:53,300
the National Leaguers infield of Gary Furman, Vaughn, and Treanor Lopez-Carty.
2726
02:59:53,300 --> 02:59:57,300
Averill hits the back with a little pop right of left field, looks like a base hit, Vaughn going back.
2727
02:59:57,300 --> 03:00:01,300
Oh, what a catch, what a catch, what a catch.
2728
03:00:01,300 --> 03:00:04,300
Man, look at the line up Vaughn.
2729
03:00:04,300 --> 03:00:17,300
Well, you all radio friends, absolutely the outstanding fielding play of this afternoon
2730
03:00:17,300 --> 03:00:22,300
came in so far as we are concerned, and I think that we'll have plenty to agree with.
2731
03:00:22,300 --> 03:00:28,300
Hockey ball and a little short stop of the Pittsburgh Pirates left his position on that grouping liner,
2732
03:00:28,300 --> 03:00:35,300
of a Texas trigger by Earl Averill, and went out and took that ball way out at the edge of the provision
2733
03:00:35,300 --> 03:00:39,300
in the left field corner right at the very fingertip.
2734
03:00:39,300 --> 03:00:43,300
He kept right on going and ran until he ran into the barrier in the left field corner.
2735
03:00:43,300 --> 03:00:47,300
That was a sweet catch by Archie Vaughn.
2736
03:00:47,300 --> 03:00:51,300
Well, with ball players like this around the diamond anything can happen.
2737
03:00:51,300 --> 03:00:55,300
What not, Charlie Geringer is up, and a shot at ball two.
2738
03:00:55,300 --> 03:00:58,300
the shot from the Boston Braves is hitting.
2739
03:00:58,300 --> 03:01:03,300
Ball three, another one low outside, three and nothing on Charlie Geringer.
2740
03:01:09,300 --> 03:01:13,300
Our center is being attracted for a moment, right back,
2741
03:01:13,300 --> 03:01:16,300
silver plane flying over the polo ground.
2742
03:01:16,300 --> 03:01:19,300
Geringer walks.
2743
03:01:19,300 --> 03:01:22,300
Geringer walks on fourth straight.
2744
03:01:22,300 --> 03:01:24,300
It's a nice inning and a run out.
2745
03:01:24,300 --> 03:01:26,300
Mel Harding is going up to hit.
2746
03:01:26,300 --> 03:01:30,300
Harder is getting a nice round of applause from the fans here.
2747
03:01:36,300 --> 03:01:39,300
Mel Harding, an old batsman, right-handed.
2748
03:01:39,300 --> 03:01:44,300
A bat from right-handed.
2749
03:01:46,300 --> 03:01:51,300
Sends the sacrifice to DeBunk down first base way in its bowels.
2750
03:01:56,300 --> 03:01:58,300
National League has picked the ball up.
2751
03:01:58,300 --> 03:02:02,300
Bill Terry picks it up and says, come on, throw this up on your toes and whips it around.
2752
03:02:02,300 --> 03:02:09,300
Frank Carlton tries it again, and Harder is back in the box with a count strike one.
2753
03:02:09,300 --> 03:02:14,300
Charlie Geringer has been on that base a lot this afternoon.
2754
03:02:14,300 --> 03:02:19,300
Harder again attempts to put it to pop fly, low passes under it and takes it.
2755
03:02:19,300 --> 03:02:26,300
That ball was only about two or three feet over his head and about eight or ten feet towards first base.
2756
03:02:26,300 --> 03:02:33,300
Lopez Ziprofist's mask was under it, Charlie Geringer, however, was close to first base and got back safely.
2757
03:02:33,300 --> 03:02:35,300
Now we have two men out.
2758
03:02:37,300 --> 03:02:39,300
Penny Chapman is up.
2759
03:02:42,300 --> 03:02:49,300
Last time up, Penny Chapman's back one out to left center field, 455 feet away.
2760
03:02:49,300 --> 03:02:52,300
That is a pitch out.
2761
03:02:52,300 --> 03:02:56,300
Lopez Ziprofist is calling for a pitch out, hoping to lift Geringer off first.
2762
03:02:56,300 --> 03:02:58,300
Ball one.
2763
03:02:58,300 --> 03:02:59,300
Nice hitting.
2764
03:02:59,300 --> 03:03:01,300
Chapman is up, 90 to 70 in the American League.
2765
03:03:01,300 --> 03:03:03,300
It's passed over to first, no go.
2766
03:03:07,300 --> 03:03:10,300
Penny Chapman, you know, hits him right handed.
2767
03:03:10,300 --> 03:03:12,300
A bowel bowels.
2768
03:03:12,300 --> 03:03:15,300
Downs third base line and a count on.
2769
03:03:15,300 --> 03:03:22,300
Chapman is bowels one and strike one.
2770
03:03:22,300 --> 03:03:25,300
Luke Geringer's up next.
2771
03:03:30,300 --> 03:03:32,300
There it is.
2772
03:03:32,300 --> 03:03:47,300
Ball two, a fast ball is high outside and the count is ball two and strike one.
2773
03:03:47,300 --> 03:03:49,300
Here it is.
2774
03:03:49,300 --> 03:03:53,300
Long fly out to left field.
2775
03:03:53,300 --> 03:03:54,300
Fine coming in.
2776
03:03:54,300 --> 03:03:58,300
He stumbled but paid the tax for the third out.
2777
03:03:58,300 --> 03:04:02,300
the first time was playing very, very deep out there again.
2778
03:04:02,300 --> 03:04:05,300
Had to come in for that ball and over to his right.
2779
03:04:05,300 --> 03:04:10,300
Over toward the far line but made a nice running catch, retiring the American Leaguers in the ninth inning.
2780
03:04:10,300 --> 03:04:15,300
So the National League has come to bat two runs behind in the ninth inning.
2781
03:04:15,300 --> 03:04:17,300
Come in for it.
2782
03:04:17,300 --> 03:04:22,300
We go into the last half of the ninth with the National League trailing by two runs.
2783
03:04:22,300 --> 03:04:27,300
the American League half of the ninth started off with Frank House coming into the bat to pitch for the Nationals.
2784
03:04:27,300 --> 03:04:30,300
Avril was the first man to face him.
2785
03:04:30,300 --> 03:04:36,300
Avril smacked a fly out right on the left field foul line just a couple of feet in.
2786
03:04:36,300 --> 03:04:43,300
And Bond dropped the crowd to their feet for a great play, a great, beautiful catch, running out there,
2787
03:04:43,300 --> 03:04:47,300
going back to position short and making an absolutely terrific sparkling catch.
2788
03:04:47,300 --> 03:04:56,300
There's almost no adjective that you can apply to that that would be too great or too superlative to describe Bond's great catch of Avril's fly out on the left field foul line.
2789
03:04:56,300 --> 03:05:00,300
Geringer came up and then got four straight and walked.
2790
03:05:00,300 --> 03:05:04,300
So there's one on base and one out with Mel Harder came up.
2791
03:05:04,300 --> 03:05:09,300
Mel Harder came up and tried to bunt, banged it down the first base line and rolled foul.
2792
03:05:09,300 --> 03:05:17,300
So he came back to the base, picked up his bat, and again tried to pop it up just a few feet away from home plate.
2793
03:05:17,300 --> 03:05:24,300
Lopez just off his mat, went out there under it and took it for a nice catch, making two men gone in the American League half of the ninth.
2794
03:05:24,300 --> 03:05:29,300
Kaplan, Ben Kaplan came up, always a very dangerous man batting order.
2795
03:05:29,300 --> 03:05:37,300
Heath Maccaflough on the left field, Klein, Chuck Klein came in very fast, stumbled, given bringing the arc to the fans and now flung before he took it.
2796
03:05:37,300 --> 03:05:42,300
But did take it, retiring the Americans to the ninth and here we go into the national league half of the ninth, failing by two runs.
2797
03:05:42,300 --> 03:05:46,300
the Americans, nine, the national service. Come in, Bob Manning.
2798
03:05:46,300 --> 03:05:54,300
Reikhauser, back to the right hand of his up batting, placed on a beautiful box, Kaplan is out there and, boom! He's out! He's out!
2799
03:05:54,300 --> 03:05:57,300
By not pulling the foot, looked at the fans, some of them are howling as if it's close.
2800
03:05:57,300 --> 03:06:03,300
Forgiving Kaplan a nice hand on that play. Reikhauser dropped that one, dropped that one, perfect.
2801
03:06:03,300 --> 03:06:10,300
It's all about ten feet out for the pitch. Kaplan ripped that pass off, was out and picked that ball up and flipped it over to Gary.
2802
03:06:10,300 --> 03:06:18,300
And Frank House for a pitcher with 20 pasts and getting down there. Sorry that was close, that was a slow play to watch. One out.
2803
03:06:22,300 --> 03:06:24,300
Willie Herman is up.
2804
03:06:27,300 --> 03:06:31,300
Willie Inoil hits them right handed, harder as pitching, Kaplan catching.
2805
03:06:31,300 --> 03:06:34,300
Foul back, great one.
2806
03:06:34,300 --> 03:06:43,300
Willie Herman, with playing second base is up.
2807
03:06:43,300 --> 03:06:47,300
Nice hitting, one man off, no harder as pitching. Mickey Cochran behind the bat.
2808
03:06:47,300 --> 03:06:55,300
Infield, Gary first, Gary second, Coleman short and box third. Here's the pitch.
2809
03:06:55,300 --> 03:07:00,300
the ground ball just inside the third base, Frank House on the left field corner, it's a base knock.
2810
03:07:00,300 --> 03:07:06,300
the ball turns off the wall, Simmons has it flipped it into Gary, he flies, he's face a double.
2811
03:07:10,300 --> 03:07:15,300
Little Willie Herman, like that one, right on the closed label.
2812
03:07:16,300 --> 03:07:21,300
Well, it's still a ball game, one man out of the ninth inning.
2813
03:07:21,300 --> 03:07:23,300
Two runs behind.
2814
03:07:23,300 --> 03:07:26,300
Willie Herman is on second base.
2815
03:07:26,300 --> 03:07:33,300
That was a peak of a hit, the ball struck just about one foot inside the bag with Jimmy Foxx leaving for it.
2816
03:07:33,300 --> 03:07:37,300
But of course he had both hands, that's the weather to get it.
2817
03:07:38,300 --> 03:07:43,300
High trainer, manager in third base from the Pittsburgh Pirates Cup.
2818
03:07:44,300 --> 03:07:48,300
Ball one, a fast ball is high inside.
2819
03:07:48,300 --> 03:07:55,300
the American League battery since the fifth inning is Mel Harder, Mickey Cochran.
2820
03:07:57,300 --> 03:08:01,300
As the long drive up in the stands, but it's foul.
2821
03:08:01,300 --> 03:08:05,300
Ball run and strike one.
2822
03:08:07,300 --> 03:08:11,300
It was a smash up in the right field stand.
2823
03:08:11,300 --> 03:08:18,300
This high trainer, you know, is quite a ball player.
2824
03:08:18,300 --> 03:08:22,300
Yes indeed, he's a right hand hitter and the count for one strike one.
2825
03:08:22,300 --> 03:08:31,300
the pitch, ball two, Harder's football, flips the outside corner and the count on high trainer, ball two and strike one.
2826
03:08:35,300 --> 03:08:38,300
Willie Herman, you know, is on second base.
2827
03:08:38,300 --> 03:08:43,300
One man out of the ninth inning, two runs behind.
2828
03:08:43,300 --> 03:08:45,300
Harder, but here it is.
2829
03:08:45,300 --> 03:08:47,300
It's a strike call.
2830
03:08:47,300 --> 03:08:56,300
That ball got away from Cochran, rolled about four feet away and now the count on high trainer is ball two and strike two.
2831
03:08:56,300 --> 03:09:11,300
Two and two on high trainer, he hits him right handed, you know.
2832
03:09:11,300 --> 03:09:13,300
Here it is.
2833
03:09:13,300 --> 03:09:17,300
He swings and it's a drive to the outfield.
2834
03:09:17,300 --> 03:09:24,300
West is playing center field for the American Lakers and West made that catch.
2835
03:09:24,300 --> 03:09:26,300
I hope you'll find me for that delay.
2836
03:09:26,300 --> 03:09:32,300
We knew it wasn't Avril coming in and that change in center field in this right inning was not announced.
2837
03:09:32,300 --> 03:09:36,300
West of the St. Louis Browns is playing center field for the American Lakers.
2838
03:09:36,300 --> 03:09:38,300
West made that catch.
2839
03:09:38,300 --> 03:09:47,300
Making it two out of the ninth inning.
2840
03:09:47,300 --> 03:09:49,300
Harder on second base.
2841
03:09:49,300 --> 03:09:55,300
And Chuck Ryan of the Chicago Cubs, the left hand batter is coming up, strike one, swinging.
2842
03:09:55,300 --> 03:09:58,300
Ninth inning and all, two men out.
2843
03:09:58,300 --> 03:10:08,300
Billy Herman is on second base to score American League ninth, National League seventh.
2844
03:10:08,300 --> 03:10:13,300
This boy Harder sticks a lot of baseball since replacing Ruffing in the fifth inning.
2845
03:10:13,300 --> 03:10:18,300
Strike one on the hitter, strike two, he swings and misses.
2846
03:10:18,300 --> 03:10:21,300
That ball is down to the outfield.
2847
03:10:21,300 --> 03:10:28,300
One on the hitter, he swings and misses.
2848
03:10:28,300 --> 03:10:29,300
That ball is down to the outfield.
2849
03:10:29,300 --> 03:10:39,300
Chuck Ryan taking it long, follow through swings, and now the count is strike two.
2850
03:10:39,300 --> 03:10:40,300
That ball is down to the outfield.
2851
03:10:40,300 --> 03:10:47,300
Chuck Ryan taking it long, follow through swings, and now the count is strike two.
2852
03:10:47,300 --> 03:10:51,300
Ninth inning, nine to seven in favor of the American League, two men out.
2853
03:10:51,300 --> 03:10:52,300
Billy Herman on second.
2854
03:10:52,300 --> 03:10:55,300
Chuck Ryan, a mighty hitter, is up.
2855
03:10:55,300 --> 03:11:02,300
Back to right field, but it's foul into the stands.
2856
03:11:02,300 --> 03:11:07,300
That ball is what we call a hook and golf.
2857
03:11:07,300 --> 03:11:17,300
It's out there towards Kerrigan and then it's curved right over into the stands.
2858
03:11:17,300 --> 03:11:18,300
Strike two.
2859
03:11:18,300 --> 03:11:21,300
Last half of the ninth inning and all, the National League is two runs behind them.
2860
03:11:21,300 --> 03:11:23,300
They have one run on the bags.
2861
03:11:23,300 --> 03:11:27,300
Billy Herman at second base, and Chuck Ryan on his long distance hitter at the plate.
2862
03:11:27,300 --> 03:11:31,300
Mel Harder is pitching, Coughlin is catching, it's set, and here it is.
2863
03:11:31,300 --> 03:11:32,300
It's a ball.
2864
03:11:32,300 --> 03:11:37,300
That ball is high outside and the count is strike two and ball one.
2865
03:11:37,300 --> 03:11:43,300
Not a single fan has left this ball park unless it was a doctor or something this afternoon,
2866
03:11:43,300 --> 03:11:49,300
so if anything can happen at any time, any kind of a smash ball, tie it up, you know.
2867
03:11:49,300 --> 03:11:53,300
Strike two, ball on the pitch, as it drives out for Safeway.
2868
03:11:53,300 --> 03:11:56,300
Kerrigan fumbles the ball, it's not too hard.
2869
03:11:56,300 --> 03:12:00,300
He is out of the close play and the ball game is over in favor of the American League.
2870
03:12:00,300 --> 03:12:02,300
the score of nine to seven.
2871
03:12:02,300 --> 03:12:05,300
This is Kyle Manning saying good afternoon from the Polar Bounds in New York,
2872
03:12:05,300 --> 03:12:06,300
and here is Graham McElnay.
2873
03:12:06,300 --> 03:12:07,300
Come in, Graham.
2874
03:12:07,300 --> 03:12:08,300
Thank you, Don.
2875
03:12:08,300 --> 03:12:12,300
There are so many features in this ball game that we won't try to go into them at all.
2876
03:12:12,300 --> 03:12:17,300
It's been almost three hours, three hour ball game up to about one minute.
2877
03:12:17,300 --> 03:12:22,300
the outstanding features in my mind now just as I look back over the game were the pitching
2878
03:12:22,300 --> 03:12:26,300
for the first three innings of that mighty pitcher, Kyle Hubbell.
2879
03:12:26,300 --> 03:12:33,300
He was gorgeous out there in the box and the fielding stunt of Archie Bond of Pittsburgh.
2880
03:12:33,300 --> 03:12:36,300
Those stand out in my mind.
2881
03:12:36,300 --> 03:12:38,300
Besides some of the hitting, of course.
2882
03:12:38,300 --> 03:12:41,300
I'll tell you who gets the hitting and then the hitting and then we'll quit.
2883
03:12:41,300 --> 03:12:46,300
For the American League men, Kerrigan got two singles.
2884
03:12:46,300 --> 03:12:48,300
Dickey got a single.
2885
03:12:48,300 --> 03:12:51,300
Simmons got two doubles and a single.
2886
03:12:51,300 --> 03:12:53,300
Cronin, a single and a double.
2887
03:12:53,300 --> 03:12:55,300
Averill, a triple and a double.
2888
03:12:55,300 --> 03:12:57,300
Fox, a single and a double.
2889
03:12:57,300 --> 03:12:59,300
And Ruffing, a single.
2890
03:12:59,300 --> 03:13:01,300
Chapman, a triple.
2891
03:13:01,300 --> 03:13:04,300
Of course, there was only a couple of them in the game all the time.
2892
03:13:04,300 --> 03:13:06,300
There might have been some of them who might have done more.
2893
03:13:06,300 --> 03:13:08,300
For the National League, Frisch.
2894
03:13:08,300 --> 03:13:09,300
Thank you, Frisch.
2895
03:13:09,300 --> 03:13:11,300
Got a homer on the first ball pitch off Lexy Gomez.
2896
03:13:11,300 --> 03:13:16,300
Gomez didn't go so well today as he has been going through his American League team.
2897
03:13:16,300 --> 03:13:19,300
Frisch got a homer and a single.
2898
03:13:19,300 --> 03:13:22,300
Kastraner of Pittsburgh got two singles.
2899
03:13:22,300 --> 03:13:28,300
Medwitch got a beautiful long homer and up into the second field of the stands in left field.
2900
03:13:28,300 --> 03:13:29,300
There was not a single.
2901
03:13:29,300 --> 03:13:30,300
Cline, a single.
2902
03:13:30,300 --> 03:13:34,300
And Billy Herman, who came into the game late, got a double.
2903
03:13:34,300 --> 03:13:38,300
Those are the outstanding features of the day and this afternoon.
2904
03:13:38,300 --> 03:13:42,300
the only other great outstanding feature was the tremendous length of the game.
2905
03:13:42,300 --> 03:13:47,300
It took three hours of paper and there was all kinds here this afternoon.
2906
03:13:47,300 --> 03:13:49,300
But it was a great game.
2907
03:13:49,300 --> 03:13:52,300
the Americans have won again as they did last year.
2908
03:13:52,300 --> 03:13:54,300
Last year it was 4-2.
2909
03:13:54,300 --> 03:14:02,300
Today it was 9-7 in favor of the American League over the Nationals in the All-Star Game played at the Polar Ground in New York City.
2910
03:14:02,300 --> 03:14:04,300
It's time to go now.
2911
03:14:04,300 --> 03:14:05,300
the garbage grew out on the field.
2912
03:14:05,300 --> 03:14:09,300
the elves got getting to the exit and so will we.
2913
03:14:09,300 --> 03:14:10,300
This is Graham Hackney speaking.
2914
03:14:10,300 --> 03:14:21,300
And we'll leave you now and just by telling you that the record of this game has been given to you by Tom Manning on play-by-play and Thorpe Bond between innings.
2915
03:14:21,300 --> 03:14:27,300
And I'd like to thank you for being here too and through the facilities of the National Broadcasting Company.
2916
03:14:27,300 --> 03:14:28,300
Goodbye.
2917
03:14:28,300 --> 03:14:40,300
We'd like to thank the makers of Ambrosia for relinquishing their broadcast period this afternoon in order to do my dear minutes in clarity.
2918
03:14:40,300 --> 03:15:02,300
Thank you.
