00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000
This broadcast is of the 1935 Major League Baseball All-Star Game.
3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:20,000
The third annual All-Star Game was played in front of nearly 70,000 fans at Cleveland Stadium, which had just opened up a few years earlier.
4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Babe Ruth did not play in this game, having retired mid-season just a month earlier, but Hall of Famer Lefty Gomez made his third consecutive start as pitcher for the American League.
5
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,000

8
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Our message is here now from the U.S. Municipal Stadium, here on the shores of Lake Erie, in Cleveland, Ohio.
9
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:56,000
From where today, the mutual broadcasting system is pleased to bring you the All-Star Game.
10
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Well, it certainly is a wonderful sight here in Cleveland today, in this huge stadium with seats between 80 and 85,000 people.
11
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:12,000
We'll see it up here now, just back at the home plate, up in the upper deck of this stadium, looking down on the field.
12
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:24,000
As the players of the American League and the players of the National League are getting ready for the third edition of one of baseball's greatest classics, the All-Star Game.
13
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:35,000
All morning long, there have been lines outside this stadium at the entranceways, waiting for the unreserved seats to be put on sale.
14
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:48,000
We came into the stadium this morning around 9.30, and at that time there were several thousand people waiting out there outside the bleachers, just waiting for the gates to open up.
15
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:58,000
And now exactly one-half hour before game time, I say there are, in the neighborhood, between 55 and 65,000 people already on hand.
16
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,000
The expected crowd today of around 80 or 85,000 people.
17
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:14,000
I wouldn't be at all surprised from all reports, but what the stadium today will be absolutely jammed, and that is the capacity of somewhere around 85 to 88,000 people.
18
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Right now the National League team is putting on a workout down here on the field.
19
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000
You see a lot of familiar faces. There's Bill Terry, working out his first base.
20
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,000
R.P. Vaughan, the famous shortstop of the Pittsburgh Pirates, is over his short.
21
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Here at third base, one of the greatest players in the game today, Kevill Martin, the wild horse of the old days, who's been the star of many important games, World Series and regular scheduled games of the St. Louis Tigers.
22
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,000
There at second base, one of the finest second basemen in baseball today, Billy Herman, who we should call the Cubs.
23
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Who's going to make the fourth member of the starting infield of the National League team today.
24
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Behind the plate will be the manager of the Philadelphia entry of the National League, Jimmy Wilson.
25
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,000
He's going to catch.
26
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Now while we're talking about the starting lineup, I know that many thousands of you would like to follow the play of this game today by the old scorecard method.
27
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,000
That is if you'd like to keep right in touch with us here in Cleveland and have your own scorecard.
28
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:23,000
And so I'm going to give you now, even though it is 25 or 26 minutes before the actual start of the play, the starting batting order and lineup for the National League All-Stars and the American League All-Stars.
29
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,000
I might tell you too that it's been rather stressful here in Cleveland all day today.
30
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,000
It's very cloudy overhead now, but it just doesn't seem like it's going to rain.
31
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:43,000
And I certainly hope that it doesn't rain, and in any way, Ma, the pleasure and the happiness of this great crowd is going to get out of what should be a court and good ball game out here today.
32
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Now for the official batting order and lineup.
33
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
And first we'll take the National League team.
34
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,000
I'm going to put it to you slowly so that you'll have plenty of time to write it down.
35
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000
The batting order and the lineup.
36
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,000
The National League, Keppel Martin, St. Louis, third base.
37
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Keppel Martin, St. Louis, third base.
38
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Archie Vaughan, Pittsburgh, shortstop.
39
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Archie Vaughan, Pittsburgh, shortstop.
40
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Mel Otz, New York, right field.
41
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Mel Otz, New York, right field.
42
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Medwick, St. Louis, left field.
43
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Medwick, St. Louis, left field.
44
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Bill Terry, New York, first base.
45
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,000
Bill Terry, New York, first base.
46
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Wally Berger of Boston will play center field.
47
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,000
He's out there now, dragging flies, getting himself acclimated out there.
48
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Wally Berger will play center field.
49
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Billy Herman of the Cubs will be at second.
50
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Billy Herman of the Cubs at second.
51
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Wilson of Philadelphia will catch.
52
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Wilson of Philadelphia will catch.
53
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
And here's a surprise.
54
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,000
The starting pitcher for the National League All-Stars will be Bill Walker of the St. Louis Cardinals.
55
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Bill Walker, a left-hander, will start the game for the St. Louis Cardinals.
56
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,000
He's a late entry in the National League team, a sort of a dark horse as it were,
57
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,000
and he's taking the place of Van Lingo Mungo of Brooklyn,
58
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:26,000
sustained an injury just a few days ago, which necessitated his not taking part in this great baseball class.
59
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Mungo is not at second.
60
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,000
He's at second at St. Louis.
61
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,000
The left-hander is going to start the game for the National League All-Stars.
62
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Now that's the batting order in line-up for the National League.
63
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Here's the batting order in line-up for the American League.
64
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Bosnick of Cleveland, right field.
65
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Bosnick, Cleveland, right field.
66
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Gellinger, Detroit, second base.
67
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Gellinger of Detroit at second.
68
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Gehrig of New York at first.
69
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Gehrig at first.
70
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Fox of Philadelphia at third.
71
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Fox at third.
72
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Johnson, Bob Johnson of Philadelphia, will play left field.
73
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Bob Johnson left field.
74
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Al Simmons of Chicago will play center field.
75
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Al Simmons center.
76
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Nicky Cochran, the manager of the American League All-Stars, will be back at the plate.
77
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Nicky Cochran will be the catcher.
78
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Joe Cronin, the manager of the Boston Red Sox, will play short.
79
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Cronin at short.
80
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,000
And the starting pitcher for the American League will be Mel Hider of Cleveland.
81
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Mel Hider will be the starting pitcher for the American League team.
82
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Now there you have it.
83
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,000
That's going to be the faceoff today in this great game here at Cleveland
84
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:46,000
between the pick team of stars of the American League and a pick team of stars of the National League.
85
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Right now the reserve infield of the National League is getting a workout.
86
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,000
There's Lip Collins of St. Louis over to first base in his great cardinal uniform.
87
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,000
There's Burgess Whitehead, utility infielder of the National League working out at second base.
88
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:04,000
I also want to tell you that the players are wearing their own uniform.
89
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000
The first, Al Simmons, is wearing the White Sox uniform.
90
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Wally Berger is wearing the uniform of the Boston Braves.
91
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Mel Hider of the New York Giants.
92
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,000
So the boys are all out here today in uniform of the club that they represent.
93
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:21,000
The grand side, I want to tell you, in several spots here in the stadium,
94
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,000
there are bands located and now one has just been striking it up behind us here
95
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
and the crowd left out of order.
96
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,000
There's a regular festive spirit out here today and I hope it will be a grand game and that you all enjoy it.
97
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,000
This 1935 meeting between the All-Stars, the National and American League,
98
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000
marks the third playing of this feature game.
99
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000
The American League with victorious in both games,
100
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:49,000
winning in 1933 at Chicago by a score of 4-2 and in 1934 at New York by a score of 9-7,
101
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,000
the margin of victory in each game being two runs.
102
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000
This year at Cleveland, the outstanding players of the National League
103
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000
are hopeful of breaking into the winning column.
104
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,000
The player who largely threw his own efforts from Northampton to the American League in 1935
105
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000
made his own effort to draw victory to the American League in 1933,
106
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,000
Babe Ruth, the well-known Bambino, is down there in a front row box seat.
107
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,000
It was carefully expected by the American League that the 1933 event
108
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,000
would develop into a glorification of any particular player, but it did.
109
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,000
This game, for all intents and purposes, was made to order for Babe Ruth,
110
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,000
and he didn't overlook a single opportunity to star both at bat and in the field.
111
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,000
All-Ruth did, you remember, in the 4-2 victory,
112
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,000
the 1933 meeting was to make two of the nine hits registered by the American League
113
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000
won a home run into the right field stand.
114
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,000
That provided the necessary margin enjoyed by the American Leaguers
115
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:43,000
at the finish of the battle in what had been labeled by the sports writers as the game of the century.
116
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,000
In the field, the Maid made a one-handed stab of a line drive
117
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,000
that would have put the National Leaguers in the ball game had it gone safe.
118
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
In the 1934 game played at the Polo Grounds in New York,
119
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,000
the National Leaguers hoped to leave an account,
120
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,000
but were disappointed when the American Leaguers put on a six-run barrage in the fifth inning
121
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,000
at the side of the old ball game, the final score being nine to seven.
122
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,000
The National League had gotten away to a commanding lead in the first three innings,
123
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,000
scoring four runs off the great Leslie Gomez,
124
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,000
while Kyle Hubbell was shutting down the American Leaguers without a run.
125
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000
In the three innings that Hubbell worked, he was the sensation you remember,
126
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,000
striking out six men, getting five such great hitters as Ruth,
127
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Gehrig, Fox, Simmons, and Cronin in succession.
128
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,000
The hitoff bubble was made by Geren Gervais of Detroit, the first man to face it.
129
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,000
From an American League angle, the two outstanding players were Earl Aberl and Mel Harder of the Cleveland Club,
130
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000
neither of whom were honored in a starting role.
131
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Harder was latched to the rescue of Bruffing in the fifth inning
132
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,000
after three hits on the base on balls that scored two runs and left two men on the bases,
133
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000
one of whom scored on a double steal.
134
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,000
He blanked the National Leaguers from then on, allowing only one hit.
135
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Aberl is a pink hitter in the fourth triple, driving in a run,
136
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000
and in the big six-run rally in the fifth,
137
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,000
his double with the bases filled scored two more runs.
138
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,000
There's a bit of a resume on what has happened in the two previous all-star games
139
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,000
between the National League and the American League.
140
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Now most of the players have completed their practice down here.
141
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Photographers have banked all over the infield, that is, outside of the diamond and sculp,
142
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,000
getting pictures of all the stars in some spots, getting them one at a time,
143
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,000
and then getting them in groups so that they'll be...
144
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:20,000
They're having an awfully busy time down here to the right at the American League side.
145
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Right now they're shooting some of the players who are taking part in the game,
146
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:29,000
getting pictures of them with Dave Roos, the great San Vino, who's down there in the front row.
147
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,000
There are celebrities here in Cleveland galore today.
148
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Down in the front row is Governor Mark Nel Davies of Ohio.
149
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Mayor Terry O. Davis of Cleveland will throw out the first ball.
150
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Jack Dixie, the home and after-mourner, Mark Oaks, the Wilderweight champion of the world.
151
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Dave Roos, Eddie Collins, one of the greatest second basemen, one of the greatest infielders of all time.
152
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Ford Flick is lending an official touch to the game today by his presence.
153
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:00,000
As you know, he is the president of the National League.
154
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000
We're awfully sorry to say that our good friend Will Herridge,
155
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,000
president of the American League, is not here today.
156
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:12,000
He's ill in Chicago, and I know that he sadly feels awfully sad right now that he's not here.
157
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,000
I know that all the ballplayers and everybody connected with the game certainly miss his will,
158
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,000
and we wish you could see here.
159
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:23,000
In his place, Black-Navon of Detroit is acting as Major Domo for the American League.
160
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Now the American League is going out there on the field, getting some practice.
161
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,000
There's Al Simmons going into center field.
162
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Around the infield, Luke Gehrig is at first, Gellinger is at second,
163
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Sonnen is at short, and Jimmy Foxx is at third.
164
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,000
And now, ladies and gentlemen, before this ballgame gets underway,
165
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,000
the announcer who's assisting me in the broadcast today from Cleveland
166
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:51,000
and who I'm very happy to work with in this mutual broadcasting system story of the game,
167
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Ellis Vanderpyl of Cleveland is right here at my right in the stadium.
168
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:01,000
He has lots of dope for you on the players, somewhat of a history of what they've done this year,
169
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,000
what they've done before.
170
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,000
He also has a lot of dope on the other two games,
171
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:10,000
and I'm sure that he has a lot of interesting things to say to you before we get this broadcast
172
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,000
of this great game from Cleveland underway.
173
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Ladies and gentlemen, I want to introduce to you from Cleveland, Ohio, Ellis Vanderpyl.
174
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,000
All right, Ellis, take it away.
175
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Thank you, Bob Elson.
176
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:26,000
This afternoon Cleveland is indeed proud to be host to this great galaxy of stars representing the American and National League.
177
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,000
Bob Elson has given you the starting lineup for the afternoon,
178
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,000
and in order that you may be properly informed before this great game gets underway,
179
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:40,000
I'm going to repeat the lineup for you and give you a thumbnail sketch of all the players who will participate in the opening play.
180
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Leading off for the American League, let's skip over to the National League first because they will lead off this afternoon.
181
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Leading off for the National League, Pepper Martin at St. Louis playing third base.
182
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:56,000
This is the third all-star game in which Pepper Martin has taken a five.
183
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Joe Pepper Martin of St. Louis Cardinals is one of the great players in the National League today.
184
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:06,000
The players who witnessed the 1931 World Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Philadelphia Athletics
185
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:12,000
saw John Leonard Martin exhibit some of the most sensational base running ever recorded in a fall classic.
186
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Five stolen bases were topped up to his credit.
187
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:20,000
To make his feet more spectacular, he usually completes his actions by sliding in on his stomach.
188
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,000
His nickname of Pepper described very well his play on the diamond.
189
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:28,000
He was listed as a pitcher when he launched his professional career in 1923.
190
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:33,000
The Cardinals acquired him from Rochester, the International League in 1930 and stationed him in the outfield.
191
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:39,000
There he played until 1932 when he was out with injuries and Joe Medwick took over his job.
192
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,000
This caused Martin to try the infield in 1933 and there he has stayed ever since.
193
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,000
Pepper, 31 years old, was born in Temple, Oklahoma.
194
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Five feet, nine and a half inches tall and weighs 175 pounds.
195
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,000
He backs and throws right-handed.
196
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:59,000
The second in the National League lineup is Aki Vaughn of Pittsburgh, shortstop.
197
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Floyd is his real name, Floyd Aki Vaughn.
198
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:07,000
When the Pittsburgh Pirates went into spring training at Paso Robe, California, 1931,
199
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Odd Drake, the manager of the Wichita Kansas Club, a pirate farm,
200
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,000
squad with him a kid shortstop by the name of Vaughn.
201
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:18,000
A quiet kid, he was inconspicuous around the camp, but he speeded on the diamond spoke for itself.
202
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,000
He was too green for Major League then, but after one more year at Wichita,
203
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,000
Aki came up to give Pittsburgh some of the best shortstoppings for many years.
204
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Aki is still quiet, but his stellar all-around play makes him now a most conspicuous member of the team.
205
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,000
He's only 23 years old, but he has put in three full seasons as short for the Pirates.
206
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:43,000
In those three years, he has averaged 322 at the back and 934 a field marked that any man can shoot at.
207
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:48,000
He was born in Clifton, Arkansas, and it's from that state that he gets his nickname.
208
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Five feet, ten and a half inches tall, weighs 175 pounds.
209
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,000
He backs left and throws right.
210
00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Third, Mel Ott. Mel Ott playing right field for the National League team this afternoon.
211
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Mel Ott, there are very few players, if any, who can boast at the age of 26 that they have ten years of Major League experience under their belt.
212
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
That, however, is Mel Ott's record.
213
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:17,000
The late John McGraw saw a possibility to assign him to a giant contract when the latter was a mere kid of 16 years.
214
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Mel reported to New York the next year and has been with them ever since, never having done time in the minors.
215
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Mel is a natural hitter with tremendous power.
216
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Left hand is at the plate and is what is known as a full hitter, as most of his balls are hit to right field.
217
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Some people wonder where Ott gets his power, for he's only five feet, eight and a half inches tall, and curbers the beam at 168 pounds.
218
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Mel has a lifetime batting average of 316 and has batted in more than a share of runs for the Giants.
219
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,000
Born in Brentland, Louisiana, bats left and throws right.
220
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:53,000
Playing left field for the National League team this afternoon, Joe Medwick of St. Louis.
221
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Wherever Ducky Medwick has a good day for the St. Louis Cardinals either at batterer field,
222
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,000
the folks back in Catterette, New Jersey get that satisfied look on their faces.
223
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Ducky is their home-town boy making good.
224
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Back in 1929, Medwick's a star fullback in football, poet on the cages, and man of all trades in baseball at Catterette High School.
225
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Three years later he was stepping in the outfield position with a card made vacant by Kevin Martin's injury.
226
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,000
There he has been ever since. Joe acquired the name Ducky while swimming.
227
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Someone remarked that he swam just like a duck. A stocky young man weighing 187 pounds, standing five feet, 10 inches tall.
228
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,000
He is a slashing hitter and a possessor of a real home run wallet.
229
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
He has hit better than 300 every season of his big league career,
230
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,000
and it was his timely plotting that helped the Card to capture the World Series last fall.
231
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Medwick gets 24 years old, bats, and throws right.
232
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Bill Terry is on first base for the National League this afternoon.
233
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,000
William Harrell Terry, that's his name, the strategic manager of the New York Giants,
234
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,000
and he's playing his 22nd season of professional baseball,
235
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:01,000
and it's just about as active as he was when he signed with Atlanta the Southern Association in 1914.
236
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Bill came to the Giants, the only major club that he's ever played with, in 1923 from Toledo and the American Association.
237
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Since that time, he's been one of the senior circuit's leading batsmen.
238
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:18,000
During his 12 years in the big leagues, he has the enviable batting average of 342.
239
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,000
In 1930, Bill wrapped the pills for a temptation average of 401.
240
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:28,000
When John McGraw gave up the management of his Giants in 1932, Terry was made his successor.
241
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,000
In the following year, he led his team to the Panadol World Championship.
242
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Last year, they were barely known as out by the St. Louis Cardinals.
243
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Now today, they're leading the league by a margin of almost nine runs.
244
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Bill was born in Atlanta, Georgia, October 30, 1898, six feet, one inch tall, and weighs 200 pounds, bats, and throws left.
245
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Playing center field today, Wally Berger, the hard-hitting, brave from Boston.
246
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:00,000
No other Boston brave name has appeared on the home run list as many times in recent years as has that of Wally Berger.
247
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:05,000
The big outfielder was a natural hitter and packed dynamite at the plate, especially in the pints when runs are needed.
248
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Wally was born in Chicago, October 10, 1905, but he spent his boyhood in San Francisco, a city that has turned out lots of good ballplayers.
249
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:20,000
He joined the San Francisco Seals in 1923, but was injured and did not play organized ball again until 1927.
250
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,000
He went to Boston in 1930 from Los Angeles, and there he's been ever since.
251
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Wally claims he got his greatest thrill in his second game in the majors against the Brooklyn Dodgers when he cracked a home run with a base as full to win the game.
252
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Berger, six feet, two and a half inches tall, weighs 200 pounds.
253
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,000
He bats right-handed and throws from the same side.
254
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Billy Herman playing at second base. Billy Herman off the Chicago Cubs.
255
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Chicago's young second back of Billy Herman broke into the baseball limelight in 1933 when he handled a 466-foot out with a keystone cushion to break the old record made by Billy Sweeney of Boston in 1912.
256
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Herman first came under the appraising eye of a Cub scout when the farm was playing with Louisville in the American Association.
257
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:10,000
The scout very readily approved of Billy's play, and the Cubs bought him for $50,000 in 1931.
258
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:17,000
He was immediately put to work filling the spot just vacated by Rogers Hornsby, today serving as a coach on the American League team.
259
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,000
And he soon had the Windy City fans forgetting that Rogers' farce fielding was concerned.
260
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Of course, he was unable to duplicate his predecessor's work at bat, but he has averaged better than 300 since joining the Cubs.
261
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Herman, now 25 years old, was born in New Albany, Indiana.
262
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,000
Five feet, 11 inches tall, weighs 172 pounds.
263
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,000
Bats and throws right-handed.
264
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:44,000
To catch her today, Jimmy Wilson, the popular manager of the Philadelphia National League Ball Club.
265
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Jimmy Wilson, who was certain to break into the star play today, is rated one of the best catchers in the business.
266
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Aside from doing most of the catching for the Philadelphia Nationals, he manages the club as an added responsibility, making him a rather busy young man.
267
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Wilson broke into the big show back in 1923 with the Philadelphia Nationals.
268
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:10,000
After spending better than five years with the Phillies, he was traded to St. Louis in May of 1928 for Virgil Davis and home appeal.
269
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:20,000
After six years with the Cardinals, Jimmy was handed a return ticket to Philadelphia, being traded on November 15, 1933 for Virgil Davis, the same Virgil who figured in the other deal.
270
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,000
And Philadelphia also came to Philadelphia in that same deal.
271
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Under Jimmy Wilson's direction, the Phillies have made much progress, even though they have not as yet reached a very lofty perch in the league standing.
272
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Wilson has developed a number of mighty good-looking youngsters during his short-regime as manager and as high hope for a future Phillies.
273
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:52,000
And now, for the pitching today, is Walker, Walker or Bill Walker of the St. Louis, an added starter when Van Mungo was hurt.
274
00:20:52,000 --> 00:21:05,000
He has won six games, lost two this year, a left-hander, and came to St. Louis from the Giants in 1931 in a deal which sent Gus Manchusore Ketcher to the Giants.
275
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:12,000
And now for the American League lineup, Joe Bartmik, popular Cleveland player, playing in right field.
276
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Second base, Charlie Gehring of Detroit, who is playing today in his third All-Star game.
277
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:24,000
First base, Lou Gehrig of New York, Columbia Lou, one of the greatest first basemen of all time.
278
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:29,000
A hardworking player, a money player, and a man who can always be counted to give his best in a pitch.
279
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Third base, Jimmy Fox, versatile Jimmy Fox, Ketcher, first baseman, and today third baseman, another fine player that Connie Mack has brought into baseball.
280
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:47,000
Left field, Bob Johnson, Cherokee Indian, one of the pair of brothers that has made its mark in the American League.
281
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,000
Bob Johnson of Philadelphia playing left field.
282
00:21:50,000 --> 00:22:02,000
In center field, Al Simmons of Chicago, for many athletics, now playing left field in the regular Chicago lineup, but in center field today for the American League All-Star team.
283
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:09,000
But catching Mickey Cochran, Detroit. Mickey Cochran before the game when we were down on the field getting the official lineup.
284
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Roger Hemsley and Mickey Cochran together, Bob Elton and I approached, and Mickey started to give the lineup until he came to his own place.
285
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:21,000
And then he turned to Roger and said, I guess I'll star Hemsley this afternoon. And Roger said, no sir, you'll get behind the bat.
286
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,000
So Mickey Cochran is going to be catching for the American All-Stars this afternoon.
287
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:34,000
Shortstop, Joe Cronin, the youthful manager some years ago who brought a pennant to Washington, now managing Tom Yockey's team at the Red Sox clock in Boston.
288
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:39,000
Picking Mel Hata, Mel Hata the young Cleveland A's who is one of the stars of baseball.
289
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:45,000
The star of last year's 1934 game. And now here's Bob Elton with some additional dough.
290
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:50,000
Thank you very much Ellis. The ladies and gentlemen it's almost time now for the ballgame to get underway.
291
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,000
One of the bands out here has just marched across the field.
292
00:22:53,000 --> 00:23:03,000
And now out there at the flagpole in center field in front of the bleachers, which is about 462 feet from the home plate, are going to raise the flag.
293
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,000
Here comes Mayor Davis of Cleveland walking out onto the field.
294
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,000
He's going to throw the first ball. The umpires have just walked up to the plate.
295
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,000
There may be a last minute change in the American League pitchers.
296
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,000
That's the Gomez. It's starting to warm up out here.
297
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Off here to the right in front of the New York bench.
298
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,000
And it may be Gomez starting in place of Harder.
299
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,000
But we'll have all that dough for you in just a very few minutes.
300
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Now the band out there in center field is standing with tension.
301
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,000
The American flag is going to be raised out there.
302
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Now they're playing the Max and the Lens for the All-Star game.
303
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:52,000
There we go.
304
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:57,000
You can hear that cheer. Flag of Duffin Glades out there in center field.
305
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,000
The umpires are up.
306
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:04,000
By the way, the umpires in the National League are Sears and Major Kurtz.
307
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,000
The American League, Ormsby and Geiso.
308
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,000
The pitchers warming up now are Walker for the National League
309
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,000
and Gomez for the American League.
310
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,000
And it looks as though Mickey Cochran may have changed his mind about his starting pitcher.
311
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,000
He told us down on the dugout a little while ago that he was going to start Mel Harder,
312
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,000
but he evidently has changed his mind.
313
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Now the boys working out on the infield, getting it all in shape for the start of the game.
314
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Gee, this is a huge place.
315
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000
I want to give you just a thought of a picture before the ballgame starts
316
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,000
of just what it looks like from up here.
317
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,000
We're seated up here behind the plate, off the upper deck,
318
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,000
just a little bit off to the left, a little bit off to the third base side.
319
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:44,000
This municipal stadium here in Cleveland is a huge double-deck affair.
320
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:49,000
It circles right around here to our left, down the left field line,
321
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:54,000
and then branches off and then peers off at an angle out across left field
322
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,000
and out towards center field so that the stand, as it moves out from the left field
323
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,000
and from the end of the left field line and moving out towards center field,
324
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,000
is backing away.
325
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,000
That is, every foot farther out is farther away from the home plate.
326
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,000
And it's the same way down the right field line,
327
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,000
to the very extremity of the right field line, it's 320 feet.
328
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,000
And then the stand shoots out the same way it does in left field,
329
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,000
in the right center.
330
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Remember, it's a double-deck affair, and it seats approximately 85 to 88,000 people.
331
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,000
And all the way across center field, there is a huge bleachers.
332
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,000
This is one of the largest bleachers we've ever seen at any ballpark,
333
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,000
and I believe it is the largest.
334
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:37,000
It accommodates, I imagine, in the neighborhood of 15,000 people.
335
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:42,000
That extends all the way across from where the double-deck grandstand ends,
336
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000
in left center, right across, all the way across center field,
337
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,000
meets the double-deck grandstand again in right center.
338
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,000
Then right in back of the bleachers, we're looking right out there now,
339
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,000
right over second base, out towards center field,
340
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,000
there is a huge scoreboard across the top.
341
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,000
It says Cleveland Stadium, and there's a flagpole
342
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,000
and a small American flag up on top of that pole.
343
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,000
And off to the left, down in the field, there's a very high pole
344
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,000
with a huge American flag, and that is a flag that has just been raised.
345
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,000
Now the band has marched again off the field,
346
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,000
coming out right field and across the right field foul line,
347
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:22,000
and they're being seated at the end of the boxers,
348
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,000
right down there near the end of the right field line.
349
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:33,000
Ty Perkins of Detroit, another captain who spent many years
350
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,000
with the Philadelphia Athletics, is captain Lepty Gomez,
351
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,000
who's warming up for the New York team.
352
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:44,000
Bill Walker of St. Louis is the starting pitcher for the National League.
353
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Now we're going to run over the official batting order
354
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,000
and line up again for you quickly, while the managers and the captains
355
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:54,000
and the two teams go over the last minute rules and so on and so forth
356
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,000
with the umpires right down here below us at the home plate.
357
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,000
National League, Martin, third base, Vaughn, shortstop,
358
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:05,000
Potts, New York, Medwix, left field, Perry, first base,
359
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:11,000
Berger, center field, Herman, second, Wilson, catching, and Walker pitching.
360
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Left field, fifth, center field, Hockman, catching,
361
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Stonin, short, and either Gomez or Harder will do the pitching.
362
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,000
Harder has won 12 games this year and lost four.
363
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Gomez has won eight games and lost eight.
364
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Starting pitcher for the National League, Walker has won six games and lost two.
365
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:53,000
The coaches for the National League,
366
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,000
the American League coaches, the coaches for the National League are
367
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Charlie Grimm, the manager of the Chicago Cubs,
368
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,000
and Chuck Dressen, the manager of the Cincinnati Reds.
369
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000
The ball game should be underway now, ladies and gentlemen,
370
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,000
in Cleveland in just about three or four minutes.
371
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,000
We're going to pause now briefly for station announcements.
372
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:16,000
This is a mutual broadcasting system.
373
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:32,000
This is WG and the Chicago Tribune stations on the Drake Hotel.
374
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,000
Now the American League team is out on the field.
375
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,000
There's Bob Johnson in left field.
376
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,000
There's Al Simmons in center field.
377
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Joe Vodnik is in right field.
378
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,000
Third base, Jimmy Fox.
379
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,000
Shortstop, Joe Cronin.
380
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Second base, Charlie Geringer.
381
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,000
First base, Lou Gehrig.
382
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,000
Lefty Gomez is going to start.
383
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Gomez is the starting pitcher.
384
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,000
Also a last minute change.
385
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:05,000
A catcher for the American League will be Raleigh Hemsley.
386
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,000
Mickey Cochran changed his mind on two points here in the last few minutes
387
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:15,000
and is starting Gomez with Raleigh Hemsley of St. Louis doing the catch.
388
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,000
Mayor Davis of Cleveland is down there now.
389
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,000
He's going to throw the first ball.
390
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Other catch for the photographers who are banked all around down there to get set.
391
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,000
Charlie Gressen is touching it third.
392
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Cincinnati manager Charlie Grim of the Cubs is touching it first.
393
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:39,000
The ball game will be underway in just about one minute.
394
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000
This is certainly a glorious time here today in Cleveland.
395
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,000
I certainly do wish you could all be out here.
396
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:49,000
The weather is warm, still very cloudy, but I don't think there's any chance of rain.
397
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,000
I certainly hope not.
398
00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:03,000
Here's the announcement.
399
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:08,000
The public address system isn't working very well.
400
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,000
In fact, it's pretty hard to hear from up here just what they are saying.
401
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:18,000
We have our mutual broadcasting system microphones right out here in the open in the upper deck.
402
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:22,000
It's a swell spot to see the ball games, and I certainly do hope that you all enjoy it.
403
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:32,000
The announcer on the field is announcing the official starting order lineup through the public address system.
404
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:38,000
I heard that one, Medwick left field.
405
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:49,000
The third baseman, Jimmy Fox, is over talking to the pitcher.
406
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Mayor Davis is standing down here at the plate.
407
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:58,000
He's going to throw the ball, and then the ball game will be underway.
408
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:03,000
The umpire back on the plate is Ormsby of the American League.
409
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,000
At first base is Major Terz of the National League.
410
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000
At second base is Geisel of the American League.
411
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,000
And at third base is Ziggy Sears of the National League.
412
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,000
First man at the bat is Peppermarkin, the wild horse of the old state.
413
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,000
Here he is up at the plate.
414
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,000
And Al Simmons is playing a little bit close for Martin.
415
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,000
First pitch, he hits a pop fly just back of a short stop.
416
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,000
Conan's going back. He may not be able to get it.
417
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,000
It's locked for a hit.
418
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,000
Peppermarkin drops his Texas Leaguer.
419
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,000
Hits back on a short stop. He went back very fast.
420
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,000
Conan and the left fielder Johnson came in very fast.
421
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Neither one of the boys could reach it, and at the first bit of the ball game, a hit for Peppermarkin.
422
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,000
Now the next man to come up is Archie Vaughan, fighting 406 for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
423
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,000
A left-handed hitter and a mighty dangerous fellow up there at the plate.
424
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,000
There's a man on first. There's nobody out.
425
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,000
The ball game has just started here in Cleveland.
426
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,000
The All-Star Game. Gomez is getting his sign.
427
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:03,000
First pitch was high and inside for the ball. All one.
428
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,000
Now the catcher is walking out toward the mound.
429
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:10,000
The toss of the pitcher while the umpires are shagging the photographers away from the baseline.
430
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:18,000
Here's Hemsley coming back behind the plate.
431
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:23,000
Raleigh Hemsley is back at the plate.
432
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,000
Not a ball run on the batter.
433
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,000
Here's the next pitch. It's a little bit outside and low for the ball.
434
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,000
Ball two.
435
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,000
Two and nothing now.
436
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,000
O'Rourke is on with Peppermarkin on first.
437
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,000
Next pitch is a fastball that comes in across his lead.
438
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:44,000
And it's a strike. Now it's ball two and strike one for Archie Vaughan.
439
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,000
The batting average today, as we told you, is 406.
440
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Here's the next pitch and it's in low and very close for the ball.
441
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:55,000
Makes it ball three. Three and one now for Vaughan.
442
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,000
Some of the latecomers walking down here in front of us.
443
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,000
The aisle just obstructing our view a bit.
444
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,000
Peppermarkin is on his way down on the hit and run play.
445
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,000
There's a fly ball in the left field. Johnson comes in. He's under it.
446
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,000
And he hides it for the first out.
447
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,000
The hit and run play with Peppermarkin starting for second with the pitch.
448
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,000
And the batter ball hit it in the left field.
449
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Johnson came in and made an easy catch of it for the first out.
450
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,000
One gone.
451
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Now the next man to come up is Melout of New York who's playing right field.
452
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:25,000
And today it is batting 324.
453
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,000
Melout batting. Peppermarkin on first base with one gone.
454
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,000
On the first half of the first inning, the game is just started.
455
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:35,000
The pitchers are Gomez for the American League. Bill Walker for the next.
456
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:40,000
Again the umpires at ball and play.
457
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:48,000
Several photographers, three or four, are wanting to take six points of advantage
458
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,000
just outside of the third base line.
459
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:57,000
And the umpires go into a huddle and now they're allowed and Melout steps into the batter's box.
460
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,000
Here's the first pitch.
461
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:05,000
And it comes in Rowan inside for a ball. Ball one.
462
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Man on first and one gone. Gomez pitching to Melout of New York.
463
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Third man up.
464
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Here's the next pitch. Duggles a runner down to second base.
465
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,000
Here's the throw and it's a stolen base for Peppermarkin.
466
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:21,000
Dolly Hensley's throw was a little bit high and to the second base side of the bag.
467
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:26,000
And Croman, the shortstop, took the throw and had to lean over the bag to get the throw.
468
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,000
And in the meantime, Peppermarkin hooks around inside the bag and he's safe at second.
469
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,000
It's a stolen base for Peppermarkin.
470
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,000
He's on second base with a count of ball two on the batter.
471
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,000
Melout, here's the next pitch.
472
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,000
It's a strike. It's a fall. It was a fastball right in their way tie.
473
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,000
Ball two and strike one for Melout.
474
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:47,000
Man on second, remember, with one gone in the first half of the first inning and the National League team batting.
475
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:51,000
American League is talking up out there in the infield. Lots of Peppermarkin.
476
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,000
Shawty words of encouragement to Gomez.
477
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,000
Ball hits it on the ground. Out to the shortstop. Corland has been fast.
478
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,000
Gets it over to first base and he's out for the second out.
479
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,000
And Peppermarkin advances from second to third.
480
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,000
There's two gone. Melout went out from Corland to Gary.
481
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,000
Two gone now and a man on third.
482
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,000
And Ducky Medwick of St. Louis is the batter.
483
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:13,000
His average today is 362 and he's one of the most dangerous batsmen in baseball today.
484
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Here's Medwick up with a chance to drive in the run.
485
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,000
If he comes through with a blow here in the first inning.
486
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,000
Here's the first pitch. It's a slow curve and it broke.
487
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Jumped a little bit too close to a right hand batter and backed him away from the plate a bit.
488
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,000
It's ball one.
489
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,000
If he's taking his time, starts that slow windup again.
490
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,000
Here's the next pitch. Medwick jumped away from a fastball.
491
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,000
It almost hit him in the leg. It's ball two.
492
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,000
That was a fastball.
493
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,000
Gomez is winding up again. Here's the next pitch.
494
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,000
That was a fastball around his neck and Medwick swung hard and lifted.
495
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,000
He swung so hard he fell down.
496
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Medwick batting with Pepper Martin on third and two gone in the first inning.
497
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Here's the next pitch. He hit the high foul which is going back into the grandstand off there to the right.
498
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:12,000
There's the first go-hate from the fans and believe me they're having a wild scandal for that ball up here in the upper deck.
499
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,000
The National League team is batting. There's a man on third.
500
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,000
There's a count of ball two and strike two on the batter who is Medwick.
501
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,000
And there is two gone.
502
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Here's the next pitch. Fastball high. Medwick swung and got a piece of the ball and fouled it back into the screen.
503
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,000
And the count is two and three.
504
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,000
Ballyhamsley gets another new face ball.
505
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Lumpai Longsley goes it out to the pitcher.
506
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,000
Gomez wipes his hands across the front of his uniform a bit.
507
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Pulls the pick of his cap and gets all set.
508
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,000
How he's starting that windup of his.
509
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,000
Here comes the next pitch to Medwick. It's a slow curve.
510
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,000
The first pitch that foul off there to the left has almost hit one of the photographers kneeling on the ground there with his camera.
511
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,000
And the count is two and two.
512
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,000
Ball two and strike two for Medwick.
513
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,000
A man on third. Two gone in the first half of the first inning.
514
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,000
Gomez, a lefty pitching for the American League.
515
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,000
And Walker, a left-hander, will pitch for the National.
516
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,000
Next pitch is way outside. Almost a wild pitch.
517
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,000
Tensley has to go way outside and jump up to grab that one.
518
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,000
And the count is three and two.
519
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Next man to come up will be Bill Terry.
520
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,000
Ball three and strike two.
521
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,000
Next pitch is a fastball.
522
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,000
He's started to swing at the ball.
523
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:25,000
Tried to stop. And the umpire says, you're out on strike.
524
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Medwick is putting up a beat down there.
525
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,000
The pitch is high and outside.
526
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:33,000
Medwick started to swing. Tried to stop his swing before he went more than halfway around.
527
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,000
But the umpire says, no, you swung at it.
528
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,000
And you're out on strike.
529
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,000
And Martin is left down the base.
530
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000
And Martin is left down the base.
531
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,000
No runs.
532
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,000
And one hit.
533
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,000
Now we're going into the last half of the first inning.
534
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:05,000
Now these three or four fans who have parked out at different spots around the stadium.
535
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,000
Strike up the three.
536
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,000
First man to bat.
537
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Tony Martin is in the middle of the offense.
538
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,000
Stephen Boyd is in the center of the offense as he comes up to the plate.
539
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,000
Jimmy Wolfson of Philadelphia is back on the plate.
540
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,000
With an action lead team.
541
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,000
Barry is at first. Billy Herman at second.
542
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,000
Archie Vaughn at short. Pepper Martin at third.
543
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,000
Medwick in left field.
544
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,000
Wally Berger in center field. And Mel Aude in right field.
545
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,000
That's the picture now.
546
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,000
As we look down on this field.
547
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,000
Here in the stadium at Cleveland, Ohio.
548
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,000
As we go into the last half of the first inning.
549
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,000
There is no score.
550
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,000
The American League is coming up now at their first set.
551
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,000
Here's Bogsnik, a Cleveland boy up at the plate.
552
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,000
Right-handed hitter.
553
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,000
Waiting for Walker's first pitch.
554
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Bill gets his sign. And here it is.
555
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,000
The fastball that backed him away from the plate.
556
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,000
In close for a right-hand hitter.
557
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000
And it's ball one.
558
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,000
Roger Hornsby is coaching at first base.
559
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,000
Del Baker of Detroit is coaching at third.
560
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,000
He's getting his sign again.
561
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,000
Here's the next pitch. And he hits the ground ball.
562
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,000
The team first to the second.
563
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,000
It's slow-goal. Billy Herman comes in fast.
564
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Zaps the ball over to first base.
565
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,000
And he's out.
566
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,000
Billy Herman to Terry for the first shot.
567
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:20,000
A nice fast play.
568
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,000
One-gone.
569
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,000
And it's batting average today.
570
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,000
There's 341.
571
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,000
Walker looks him over carefully.
572
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,000
The infielder's talking up out there.
573
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,000
Here comes the wind-up on the first pitch.
574
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,000
It's a fastball.
575
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,000
It's outside of the way for ball one for Geringer.
576
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,000
A left-handed hitter.
577
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,000
One out.
578
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,000
Nobody on the bases.
579
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,000
Last half of the first inning.
580
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,000
And it's a fastball.
581
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,000
And it's a fastball.
582
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,000
And it's a fastball.
583
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,000
And it's a fastball.
584
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,000
Last half of the first inning.
585
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,000
No score on either side.
586
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,000
Walker gets his sign again.
587
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,000
He, too, has a very slow and deliberate sort of a wind-up.
588
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,000
There's a fastball.
589
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,000
It's in a little bit low.
590
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,000
It was over the plate, but low.
591
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,000
And it's ball two for Geringer.
592
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,000
Walker turns around.
593
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,000
Looks around the infield and the outfield.
594
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:13,000
Let's see that everybody's in place.
595
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,000
Center fielder Berger is moving over a little bit toward right center.
596
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,000
And his left-handed batter.
597
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,000
Here's the next pitch, and it almost hit him.
598
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,000
Geringer has to back out of the way in a hurry to get out of the way of a pitch ball.
599
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,000
And it's ball three.
600
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:34,000
Next man to come up will be Columbia Lou Gehrig, the first baseman.
601
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:35,000
Walker takes his time.
602
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,000
He's just taking it easy out there now.
603
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,000
Comes to wind up in the next pitch.
604
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,000
He's waiting out the string, and there's a perfect pitch right over the heart of the plate.
605
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,000
A called strike.
606
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,000
Three and one.
607
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,000
Now we'll see whether Charlie will wait out the string.
608
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,000
Hoping to get a fourth ball.
609
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:54,000
Or whether he'll poke it, knowing that Walker's going to try to get it in there.
610
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,000
Wind up, and here's the pitch.
611
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,000
Geringer backs away from ball four.
612
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:02,000
Puts him on first base.
613
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,000
Next man to come up is Lou Gehrig of New York.
614
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,000
He's batting 314.
615
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:10,000
Left-handed hitter.
616
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,000
Lou has been sort of slow getting started this year.
617
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:17,000
He's recognized by everyone as one of the greatest hitters in baseball.
618
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Walker's getting his time.
619
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,000
Here's the first pitch.
620
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,000
The curve ball, he hits it down the first base line to Terry.
621
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,000
Up with the ball, gets it over to second base.
622
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Out of second, back over to first base, but safe at first.
623
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:31,000
The play went from Terry to Vaughn, forcing Geringer at second base.
624
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,000
From Vaughn back to Terry, hoping for a double play, but they miss.
625
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,000
Gary gets by a foot.
626
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:43,000
So Geringer is forced out at second base.
627
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,000
Terry to Vaughn.
628
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:49,000
Here's the man on first base.
629
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,000
Brings up Jimmy Fox.
630
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,000
Third base, who's batting 322.
631
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,000
This fox up at the plate, a right-handed hitter.
632
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:01,000
Medwick is playing very deep in left field for this fellow.
633
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,000
First pitch to Fox has been low and close for a ball.
634
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,000
Ball one.
635
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,000
Boys out there in the infield talking up.
636
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,000
You can hear them all the way up here.
637
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:12,000
Lots of scatter, lots of pepper on both sides.
638
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:17,000
Both want to win this ball game, want to win it fast.
639
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:22,000
Two great teams out here today.
640
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:26,000
Walker kicks the dirt around out there in the mound, getting it all smoothed down to his liking.
641
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,000
Run around first, it's two off.
642
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,000
Jimmy Fox is batting with a count-out and ball one.
643
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,000
Walker's ready, here's the next pitch.
644
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,000
Fox takes one right over the plate.
645
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,000
It's a called strike.
646
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:40,000
And Wilson takes the ball down to first base to Terry, trying to take Gering off the bag.
647
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,000
But he's back there safely and the count is one and one.
648
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,000
Two-one and strike one.
649
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:49,000
A man on first with two outs.
650
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,000
Walker draws the times up in front of him, watching the man on first base.
651
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:53,000
Now he's ready.
652
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,000
Here's the next pitch to Fox.
653
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,000
It's outside, a fast ball at the knee.
654
00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:00,000
Makes it fall two and strike one.
655
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,000
Two and one.
656
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,000
Pepper marks the third.
657
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:06,000
Archie Vaughn short.
658
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,000
Billy Herman second.
659
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,000
Terry at first.
660
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,000
That's the National League infield.
661
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,000
Walker's getting his sign again.
662
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,000
Here's the next pitch.
663
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,000
It's a slow ball and a beauty.
664
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,000
Gee, that was a nice one.
665
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,000
Right in there and the count is ball two and strike two.
666
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,000
Walker threw a slow ball into Jimmy Fox.
667
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:20,000
That was a beauty.
668
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,000
Just came in below the shoulders, right over the plate.
669
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:26,000
It's a called strike and the count is two and two.
670
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:27,000
Run around first base.
671
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,000
He's taking a short lead off.
672
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,000
He's ready again.
673
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:31,000
Here's the next pitch.
674
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,000
It was a slow curve outside, below the knee.
675
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,000
And it's ball three.
676
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:39,000
Makes it three and two now.
677
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,000
And on first with two off, three and two on the batter.
678
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,000
Now, Garry will break for second base with a pitch.
679
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,000
Three and two on the batter and two going.
680
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:48,000
Garry on first base.
681
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:49,000
Watch him now.
682
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:50,000
Walker's getting ready.
683
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,000
He throws the ball over to first base trying to pick Garry off,
684
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,000
but he's back in the bag safely.
685
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,000
Bill didn't have a very long lead off.
686
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,000
He just bleeds back onto the bag.
687
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,000
Walker pulls at the peak of his cap, gets ready out there again.
688
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,000
He has a three and two count on Fox.
689
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:03,000
Garry is edging off the back.
690
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:04,000
There he goes.
691
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:05,000
Here's the pitch.
692
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,000
And the batter is long by the rim.
693
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,000
Back, back, back, back.
694
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:18,000
Home run.
695
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:23,000
Jimmy Fox just did a home run over Medwick's head into the stands in left field,
696
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:29,000
out there where the marker says about 385 feet.
697
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,000
Jimmy Fox just did a home run over the left field fence
698
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:37,000
in the lower grandstand out there in left center field.
699
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,000
Put the American League in the lead by a score of 2 to nothing,
700
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:47,000
and believe me, that was some wallop.
701
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,000
Score Garry go ahead of him.
702
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,000
Now the next man to come up is Bob Johnson.
703
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,000
The right-handed batter.
704
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:54,000
Nobody on the bases.
705
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,000
Two runs are in here.
706
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,000
Here comes the next pitch.
707
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:58,000
High, way over the batter's head.
708
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,000
Ball one.
709
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,000
Fox really got a toehold on that one.
710
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,000
Slammed it way over Medwick's head.
711
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,000
Lucky started to go back fast, but then saw there wasn't a chance
712
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,000
and watched the ball sail into the crowd.
713
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:12,000
Walker's ready.
714
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:13,000
Here's the next pitch.
715
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,000
It's a curve ball and he hits a high, short fly into right field.
716
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,000
Near the first baseline.
717
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,000
The second base when Billy Herman comes over and takes the ball.
718
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,000
A nice catch retiring the drive.
719
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,000
Johnson made a high, short fly near the foul line.
720
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,000
Just a short distance back into right field.
721
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,000
Billy Herman cuts back behind Terry over to the foul line
722
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:33,000
and caught the ball in fair territory to retire the drive.
723
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:43,000
At the end of the first inning, New York made two runs and there was one pitch.
724
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:48,000
Rodnick, you remember, went out and Gerringer walked.
725
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,000
Was forced to second base by Gary.
726
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:55,000
And then Gary scored ahead of Jimmy Fox on his home run into the left field stand.
727
00:46:55,000 --> 00:47:10,000
Going into the first half of the second inning now with the score, American League 2, National League nothing.
728
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:15,000
Now the American League players are up there on the field.
729
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:19,000
Jimmy Fox in third baseman puts the American League in the lead with a well home run.
730
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:24,000
The first man to bat for the National League is Phil Terry, the first baseman.
731
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,000
Terry is 341.
732
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:31,000
A little left-handed hitter up there in the plate now.
733
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,000
Gomez looks him over carefully.
734
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,000
Nobody on and nobody out.
735
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,000
We're just starting the first half of the second.
736
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,000
Here's the pitch.
737
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:38,000
Fast ball, a little bit slow.
738
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,000
Ball one.
739
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,000
Gomez wasn't sure of that.
740
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:47,000
He takes a look back at the scoreboard to make sure that he's got the call right.
741
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,000
Here's the next pitch to Terry.
742
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:50,000
Terry claps the fly ball near the foul line.
743
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,000
The left field, Johnson is over under it.
744
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,000
He has the ball for the first out.
745
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,000
Terry hits the ball hard, a fly ball.
746
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,000
He's a left field over near the foul line.
747
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,000
Johnson came over fast and pulled it down for the first out.
748
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:06,000
One gone.
749
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:10,000
Next man to come up is Wally Burger who's playing center field for the National League team.
750
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,000
His batting average today is an even 300.
751
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,000
He's a big fellow, right-handed hitter.
752
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,000
Stands well over six feet tall.
753
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,000
Here's the first pitch from Gomez.
754
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,000
Burger takes a big swing and misses over the strike.
755
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,000
Strike one.
756
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:26,000
Nobody on the base.
757
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,000
This is the first half of the second.
758
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:33,000
National League is batting one out.
759
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:37,000
Next pitch to Burger is a well-curved right over the heart of the plate and it falls.
760
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:38,000
Strike two.
761
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,000
It broke in there beautifully.
762
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:45,000
It looks like it was going outside and then the ball broke sharply in over the plate at the weight and it's two strikes.
763
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:46,000
Gomez is getting a sign.
764
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:50,000
Here's the next pitch, a fast ball and Burger gets a peek of it and knocks the ball back into the screen.
765
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,000
Still two strikes.
766
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:56,000
There's a great example for the ball again in the crowd, boys.
767
00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:04,000
They certainly do want these baseballs today as souvenirs of this all-star game.
768
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,000
Gomez has a count of strike two on Burger.
769
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:11,000
Next pitch to get the ground ball followed just outside the bank on the third base line.
770
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,000
It's rolling down the line.
771
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,000
That was just following a foot.
772
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:20,000
A hard hit ball on the ground just outside the bag at third.
773
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:26,000
Charlie Dressen with Cincinnati is coaching at third base for the National League team and Charlie Grimm of the club is coaching at first.
774
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:31,000
Burger is batting in the first half of the second inning with one out.
775
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,000
A count on him is strike two.
776
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,000
Gomez gets a new ball, rubs it up in his hands a bit, getting some of the shine off it.
777
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,000
Now he's ready.
778
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,000
Here's a fast ball.
779
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:42,000
He hits a high foul fly just outside of Burke's base.
780
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:45,000
I know Gary gets under it and he catches it now in fair territory.
781
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:56,000
It came down just inside the first base line, just about 10 feet down from the bag at first base toward the plate and Gary caught it.
782
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:04,000
It came down just inside the line in fair territory, an infield fly for the second up.
783
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:09,000
Now the next bat to come up is Billy Herman.
784
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:14,000
He's batting 295, second base today for the National League team.
785
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,000
Right hander to hitter.
786
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:21,000
Al Simmons, the center fielder of the American League team, is coming in and moving over a little bit toward right center.
787
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,000
First pitch is high and outside for a ball.
788
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,000
Ball one.
789
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,000
Simmons, center field.
790
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:28,000
Bosmick, right field.
791
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:32,000
Bob Johnson, left field.
792
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:33,000
Here's the next pitch to Billy.
793
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,000
Billy swings hard and fouls the ball back into the tree.
794
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:37,000
Ball one and strike one.
795
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,000
Duvall is nobody on the bases in the first half of the second inning.
796
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,000
The American League is leading 2-0.
797
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:48,000
Fox did a home run with a man on.
798
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:49,000
Gomez is getting his sign.
799
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:50,000
Here's the next pitch.
800
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:54,000
Billy takes him a little bit high and close for the ball.
801
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:59,000
Next man to come up after Herman will be Wilkinson, the catcher.
802
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,000
Ball two and strike one.
803
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,000
Next pitch he hits a high foul fly which is going over there into the box deep.
804
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:09,000
Raleigh Hemsley tosses off his mask and comes back fast to see if there's a chance to get the ball.
805
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:13,000
But he sees there is no chance of going into the crowd and he goes back to the plate.
806
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,000
The umpire crosses the new ball into play.
807
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:25,000
Ball two and strike two is a count on Billy Herman batting for the National League team with two gone.
808
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:26,000
There's a fast ball.
809
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:27,000
He hits the track of the pitcher.
810
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:28,000
He knocks it down.
811
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,000
It's going behind him.
812
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:30,000
He gets over, picks it up, gets it over the first base.
813
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:31,000
It's low for the job.
814
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:35,000
On a fast play Gomez to Gary.
815
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,000
Billy Herman hit a hard smash on the ground back at the pitcher.
816
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,000
He knocked it down but it's all past him.
817
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,000
He went back fast and grabbed the ball and got it over the first base.
818
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:46,000
And Billy Herman was out on a fast play Gomez to Gary.
819
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,000
Three up and three down.
820
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:49,000
No runs.
821
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:50,000
No hits.
822
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:56,000
And no errors.
823
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:04,000
Now the game is going into the last half of the second inning.
824
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:10,000
We're going into the last half of the second inning of this game at Cleveland, Ohio.
825
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:17,000
Three in the stars of the National League and the stars of the American League.
826
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:24,000
One of baseball's two great annual classics, the World Series and the All-Star Game.
827
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:31,000
A crowd of over 80,000 people are out here today in Cleveland to see this game.
828
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:38,000
Bill Walker is the starting pitcher for the National League and Leslie Gomez is the starting pitcher for the American League.
829
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:42,000
The first man to bat for the American League in the last half of the second inning is up at the plate now.
830
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:51,000
It's Al Simmons with the White Sox who's batting average today is 260.
831
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:54,000
He's had a sort of a tough time getting started.
832
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:55,000
Here's the first pitch.
833
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:59,000
Simmons backs away from a fast ball that came in across his knees and it's a called strike.
834
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:06,000
Al turns around to talk to one prior arm's base.
835
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:07,000
Al Simmons didn't like that one.
836
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,000
Now he's up in there again.
837
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:10,000
Walker's getting his time.
838
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:11,000
Here's the next pitch.
839
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:15,000
It's a fast ball in across his knees and it's strike two.
840
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:20,000
Again Al Simmons turns around and says something to the umpire.
841
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,000
Nobody on and nobody out in the last half of the second.
842
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,000
Wind up in the next pitch to Simmons.
843
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:27,000
Strike three.
844
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,000
Swung at a fast ball outside and high and struck out.
845
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:31,000
Simmons struck out.
846
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:38,000
One gone.
847
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:45,000
Now the next man to come up is Raleigh Hemsley.
848
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:48,000
Batting around 325.
849
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,000
Right handed hitter.
850
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,000
The first pitch is a slow ball that broke in over the plate but too low.
851
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:54,000
It's a ball.
852
00:53:54,000 --> 00:54:00,000
Ball one.
853
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,000
Walker's getting his time again.
854
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:03,000
Here's the next pitch to Hemsley.
855
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,000
It's a slow ball and he pops it up.
856
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:06,000
It's coming back here toward the railing.
857
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:07,000
It's going into the stands.
858
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,000
He can't get it.
859
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:14,000
Cather came back fast but couldn't get to it.
860
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:17,000
Ball one and strike one for Hemsley.
861
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:27,000
Jimmy Wilkins of Philadelphia is the starting catcher for the National League.
862
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:30,000
Raleigh Hemsley's starting average is 327.
863
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,000
He's a right handed hitter.
864
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:35,000
Here comes the next pitch to Raleigh and he flams the fly ball down the left field line.
865
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,000
Let's see if the members are going back.
866
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:38,000
The ball goes over his head.
867
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:39,000
It goes up against the wall.
868
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,000
Hemsley's coming into second base.
869
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:42,000
He may try for third.
870
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:43,000
He's on his way down to third base.
871
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:44,000
It's going to be very close.
872
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:45,000
Here comes the relay.
873
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,000
He slides in and he's safe at third.
874
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:50,000
It's a three base hit for Hemsley down the left field line.
875
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:59,000
The relay came in from Medwick to Aki Vaughan to the third base from Pepper Martin and Raleigh Hemsley came sliding into third base and he's safe at third.
876
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:00,000
It's a three bagger.
877
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:05,000
Hemsley on third with one out in the last half of the second inning.
878
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:09,000
The American League leading by a score of two to nothing.
879
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:17,000
Now the next man to come up is Joe Coleman, the shortstop, the manager of the Boston Red Sox.
880
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:22,000
His batting average today is 260 but he's a dangerous man up there in a pinch.
881
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:27,000
Now the National League team is drawing in close to the infield with a possible play and view here at the plate.
882
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:30,000
Walker takes a look around to see that everybody's in place.
883
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:37,000
Coleman batting, a man on third, one out, last half of the second inning, a score of two to nothing in favor of the American League.
884
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:41,000
The manager's getting his sign, here's the pitch for Joe, outside, waist high for a ball.
885
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:45,000
A hit of a long fly now would bring in a run.
886
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:55,000
National League infield, Pepper Martin, Aki Vaughan, Billy Herman and Terry playing in close hoping he hits the ball on the ground and will have a chance to cut off this man at the plate.
887
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:59,000
It's a nice curve ball right in over the plate and it's a called strike.
888
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:02,000
Ball one and strike one.
889
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:07,000
Hensley drove the ball over Medwick's head in left field for a three-bagger.
890
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,000
One gone and a man on third.
891
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,000
This is getting his sign again, here's the next pitch.
892
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:18,000
He hits a high fly back in the left center field, Wallie Berger getting back, he's under it, he has it and here's Hensley coming in toward the plate.
893
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:22,000
Here's a crawl but they can't get in and Hensley scores from third.
894
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:25,000
The American League is leading three to nothing.
895
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:30,000
Joe Coleman drove a long fly ball into left center field which is taken by Wallie Berger.
896
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:36,000
Berger got the ball back into the infield rather non-concomitantly because he saw he didn't have a chance to get the man scoring from third.
897
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:40,000
Two gone now, another run is in and the score is three to nothing.
898
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:49,000
Next man to come up is Gomez, the pitcher.
899
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:52,000
Here's Gomez up the left center batter.
900
00:56:52,000 --> 00:57:00,000
He swings at the first pitch and looks at the first strike, strike one.
901
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,000
Nobody on the bases, one run in, the last half of the second.
902
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:11,000
Walker's ready, here's the pitch, it's a curve ball that breaks outside of the knee and it's ball one and strike one.
903
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,000
Gomez batting.
904
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:20,000
He's won eight games and lost eight games this year for the Yankees.
905
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,000
Walker's getting his sign again.
906
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,000
Here's the wind up in the next pitch.
907
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,000
It's a fast ball, it's a little bit slow.
908
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:31,000
It's the ball, makes it ball two and strike one for Gomez.
909
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,000
Walker turns around and looks around the infield.
910
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:36,000
Bill didn't like the call on that one so much.
911
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:39,000
Said something to the umpire but now he knows about his work again.
912
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:44,000
Standing there on the rubber getting his sign from Wilson.
913
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:49,000
Here comes the pitch to Gomez and he backs away from one in close to the knee for a third ball.
914
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:58,000
Ball three makes it three and one.
915
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:02,000
Manager Frankie Frisch of the National League team is watching the game from the dugout.
916
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,000
Next pitch is right over the plate.
917
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,000
Call strike and the count is three and two.
918
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:12,000
Billy Herman is playing second in place of Frisch.
919
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:16,000
Billy Herman is playing back on the edge of the grass for this fellow.
920
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:17,000
Three and two count.
921
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:19,000
Here's the next pitch to Gomez.
922
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,000
It's a fast ball and he's struck out.
923
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:25,000
He's swung hard at the fast ball below his shoulders and struck out.
924
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:36,000
At the end of the second inning, the American League made one run and one hit.
925
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,000
One run and one hit.
926
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:44,000
At the end of the second inning and the score at the end of two innings in this all-star game at Cleveland, Ohio,
927
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:49,000
the American League three, the National League nothing.
928
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,000
We're going to pause briefly now for station identification.
929
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:57,000
This is the Mutual Broadcasting Center.
930
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:10,000
This is WGM, the Chicago Tribune station on the Drake Hotel.
931
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,000
Now we're going into the first half of the third inning.
932
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:18,000
The American League is out there on the field.
933
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:23,000
National League coming to bat and the first man to come up will be Jimmy Wilson, the catcher.
934
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:24,000
The right-handed batter.
935
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:27,000
His batting average today is 259.
936
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:35,000
Big number 12 in the back of his gray uniform.
937
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,000
Here's the windup in the first pitch.
938
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:43,000
Swings with a fast ball, shoulder high and misses like one.
939
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:47,000
American League is talking up out there.
940
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:48,000
This is getting his sign again.
941
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:50,000
Here's the windup in the next pitch to Wilson.
942
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:55,000
It's a slow ball outside at the knee.
943
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:58,000
Wilson batting out of one and one.
944
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:01,000
The first man up in the first half of the third.
945
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:06,000
Scores the American League three, the National League nothing.
946
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,000
Next pitch comes in low and close for the ball.
947
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:13,000
Makes it ball two and strike one.
948
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:17,000
Two and one.
949
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,000
Windup again in the next pitch.
950
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:25,000
He hits a high foul which is going back into the crowd in the lower boxes.
951
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:28,000
Ball two and strike two.
952
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:32,000
Now the new ball is tossed into the game and Goal Nice takes his glove off out there.
953
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:36,000
Walks behind the mound, rubs the ball up in his hands a bit, getting some of the shine off it.
954
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:39,000
Now he's ready.
955
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:43,000
Here's the next pitch to Wilson and he reaches for one and fouls it directly back into the screen.
956
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:50,000
The count is still two and two.
957
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:54,000
Ball two and strike two.
958
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:59,000
Goal Nice takes his glove off, rubs the ball up in his hands a bit again.
959
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:02,000
Here's the next pitch to Wilson with the fast ball. He hits it on the ground out of the second baseman, Garringer.
960
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:05,000
He's up with the ball, gets it over to first base and he's out.
961
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:06,000
Garringer to Gary.
962
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:10,000
It was a hard hit ball that hugged the ground all the way out to Charlie Garringer.
963
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:23,820
He grabs it to
964
01:01:23,820 --> 01:01:29,820
the right finkiller here for Walker.
965
01:01:29,820 --> 01:01:32,820
I believe somebody is coming out to bat for Bill Walker.
966
01:01:32,820 --> 01:01:36,820
This means we'll have a new National League pitcher next inning.
967
01:01:36,820 --> 01:01:39,820
Can't see who it is but we can't see the National League dugout.
968
01:01:39,820 --> 01:01:51,820
It's down below us here and we're way up here in the upper deck with 15 or 16 rows in front of us.
969
01:01:51,820 --> 01:01:53,820
Mancuso is coming out to bat for him.
970
01:01:53,820 --> 01:02:02,820
Duff Mancuso, a right-handed hitter, regular catcher for the New York Giants, coming out to bat for Walker.
971
01:02:02,820 --> 01:02:09,820
He's a right-handed hitter.
972
01:02:09,820 --> 01:02:10,820
Here he is up at the plate.
973
01:02:10,820 --> 01:02:13,820
Gomez is getting his time.
974
01:02:13,820 --> 01:02:14,820
Burch pitch is outside.
975
01:02:14,820 --> 01:02:16,820
Wait time for a ball.
976
01:02:16,820 --> 01:02:19,820
Ball one.
977
01:02:19,820 --> 01:02:23,820
Mancuso up at the plate.
978
01:02:23,820 --> 01:02:26,820
His batting average today is 290.
979
01:02:26,820 --> 01:02:28,820
Here's the next pitch. It's a fast ball.
980
01:02:28,820 --> 01:02:29,820
Low and outside.
981
01:02:29,820 --> 01:02:30,820
Ball two.
982
01:02:30,820 --> 01:02:32,820
Nobody on the bases.
983
01:02:32,820 --> 01:02:34,820
One out.
984
01:02:34,820 --> 01:02:35,820
First half of the third inning.
985
01:02:35,820 --> 01:02:37,820
The National League gets back.
986
01:02:37,820 --> 01:02:40,820
The American League leading three to nothing.
987
01:02:40,820 --> 01:02:42,820
Next pitch is a fast ball.
988
01:02:42,820 --> 01:02:45,820
Right over the outside corner at the knee is a called strike.
989
01:02:45,820 --> 01:02:51,820
The count is ball two and strike one. Two and one.
990
01:02:51,820 --> 01:02:52,820
Here's the next pitch.
991
01:02:52,820 --> 01:02:54,820
He hits a high foul up into the upper deck.
992
01:02:54,820 --> 01:03:00,820
Back of third and the count is two and two.
993
01:03:00,820 --> 01:03:12,820
Ball two and strike two for Mancuso.
994
01:03:12,820 --> 01:03:13,820
Gomez is getting his time.
995
01:03:13,820 --> 01:03:15,820
Here's the next pitch. He's flying outside for the ball.
996
01:03:15,820 --> 01:03:20,820
The count is three and two now for Gutt.
997
01:03:20,820 --> 01:03:22,820
That's Mancuso.
998
01:03:22,820 --> 01:03:25,820
Gray uniform of the New York Giants.
999
01:03:25,820 --> 01:03:28,820
Up here at the plate. Right down here in front of us now.
1000
01:03:28,820 --> 01:03:30,820
Gomez is winding up. Here's the next pitch.
1001
01:03:30,820 --> 01:03:33,820
He hits a high short fly in the left field.
1002
01:03:33,820 --> 01:03:34,820
The shortstop opponent is going back.
1003
01:03:34,820 --> 01:03:37,820
The left fielder is coming in. They may collide.
1004
01:03:37,820 --> 01:03:40,820
They both jump for the ball and Coleman gets it and holds it.
1005
01:03:40,820 --> 01:03:44,820
The boys collide but neither one of them are hurt at all.
1006
01:03:44,820 --> 01:03:47,820
And Mancuso is out for the second up.
1007
01:03:47,820 --> 01:03:50,820
Mancuso hit a high short fly in the left field.
1008
01:03:50,820 --> 01:03:53,820
Over near the foul line. Joe Coleman went back fast.
1009
01:03:53,820 --> 01:03:56,820
Bob Johnson came in. The boys bumped each other.
1010
01:03:56,820 --> 01:04:05,820
But Coleman grabbed the ball and held onto it and they're too long.
1011
01:04:05,820 --> 01:04:14,820
Now the next man to come up is Pepper Martin, the leadoff man.
1012
01:04:14,820 --> 01:04:16,820
He's single the first time up.
1013
01:04:16,820 --> 01:04:21,820
It's over hitting the left field.
1014
01:04:21,820 --> 01:04:31,820
First pitch is outside for the ball. Ball one.
1015
01:04:31,820 --> 01:04:35,820
Comes the next pitch to Martin. He swings hard and misses.
1016
01:04:35,820 --> 01:04:37,820
That was a fastball around his neck.
1017
01:04:37,820 --> 01:04:40,820
And the count is one and one. All one strike one for Pepper.
1018
01:04:40,820 --> 01:04:43,820
Two out and nobody on the bases in the first half of the third.
1019
01:04:43,820 --> 01:04:47,820
Here's the next pitch from Gomez. It's a slow ball and it's outside.
1020
01:04:47,820 --> 01:04:50,820
Martin started to jump up on that one as though he was going to cloud it.
1021
01:04:50,820 --> 01:04:55,820
It was a slow ball and the crowd roared. He left it go by.
1022
01:04:55,820 --> 01:04:59,820
National League is warming up Schumacher in the bullpen in the left field.
1023
01:04:59,820 --> 01:05:03,820
There's a foul up into the upper deck right off here to our right.
1024
01:05:03,820 --> 01:05:09,820
Martin swung so hard he fell down.
1025
01:05:09,820 --> 01:05:13,820
This ball by the way up here in the upper deck was practically caught by Luke Sewell,
1026
01:05:13,820 --> 01:05:16,820
the white-talk catcher who's up here enjoying the game.
1027
01:05:16,820 --> 01:05:20,820
And it popped right out of his hand.
1028
01:05:20,820 --> 01:05:23,820
Martin swung at a slow curve in around his knees and struck out.
1029
01:05:23,820 --> 01:05:31,820
Pepper Martin swung at a slow curve in around his knees and struck out requiring the side.
1030
01:05:31,820 --> 01:05:36,820
No runs and no hits.
1031
01:05:36,820 --> 01:05:40,820
At the end of the first half of the third and now we're going into the last half of the third inning,
1032
01:05:40,820 --> 01:05:42,820
American League three, National League nothing.
1033
01:05:42,820 --> 01:05:45,820
Bill Walker allowed two hits while he was in there.
1034
01:05:45,820 --> 01:05:51,820
He issued one base on balls. He struck out two and two runs were scored on it.
1035
01:05:51,820 --> 01:05:57,820
Al Schumacher coming into pitch now for the National League.
1036
01:05:57,820 --> 01:06:02,820
Schumacher's got a great record this year. He's won 12 games in a loss too.
1037
01:06:02,820 --> 01:06:07,820
Al Schumacher, one of the best pitchers in the National League, coming in now.
1038
01:06:07,820 --> 01:06:12,820
Charlie Grim of the Cubs, passed him on the back as he walked by him, saw the center of the diamond.
1039
01:06:12,820 --> 01:06:15,820
Catcher Jimmy Wilson is out there talking to him.
1040
01:06:15,820 --> 01:06:18,820
And the last half of the third inning is about to get underway here in Cleveland, Ohio,
1041
01:06:18,820 --> 01:06:26,820
with the American League leading by a score of three to nothing.
1042
01:06:26,820 --> 01:06:28,820
National League is on the field.
1043
01:06:28,820 --> 01:06:32,820
Red Week in left field. Berger in center field. Melod in right.
1044
01:06:32,820 --> 01:06:36,820
Pepper Martin at third. Vaughn at short. Billy Herman at second.
1045
01:06:36,820 --> 01:06:40,820
And Bill Terry at first.
1046
01:06:40,820 --> 01:06:47,820
And the new pitcher, the second pitcher for the National League, is Al Schumacher.
1047
01:06:47,820 --> 01:06:52,820
Pepper Martin has his glove off. He's standing out there behind Schumacher talking to him.
1048
01:06:52,820 --> 01:06:57,820
Billy Herman is also just at the edge of the circle talking to Bill Terry.
1049
01:06:57,820 --> 01:07:01,820
Now the catcher tries to whip and takes the ball down to second base to Arke Vaughn.
1050
01:07:01,820 --> 01:07:05,820
He takes it around the end field, takes it around the end, and for the last time it's back to the pitcher.
1051
01:07:05,820 --> 01:07:16,820
And now the last half of the third inning is getting underway with Joe Bosnik of Cleveland, up at the plate.
1052
01:07:16,820 --> 01:07:19,820
Bosnik bounced off the first time up.
1053
01:07:19,820 --> 01:07:22,820
He hits the ball on the ground to Billy Herman and was thrown out.
1054
01:07:22,820 --> 01:07:26,820
Now he's coming up with the second time inside the last half of the third.
1055
01:07:26,820 --> 01:07:29,820
Schumacher's having some trouble getting the dirt out there on the pitcher's circle.
1056
01:07:29,820 --> 01:07:32,820
All smoothed onto his liking. He kicks it all around out there.
1057
01:07:32,820 --> 01:07:36,820
Finally he has it all set. And now he's on the rubber. He's getting his sign.
1058
01:07:36,820 --> 01:07:38,820
Here's the windup on the first pitch to Joe Bosnik.
1059
01:07:38,820 --> 01:07:42,820
Bosnik gets the ground ball down the first base line. It's Bauerl outside the line.
1060
01:07:42,820 --> 01:07:49,820
Bill Terry comes in toward the plate, but Wilson gets the ball first and takes it around the back to Lee Ginfield.
1061
01:07:49,820 --> 01:07:58,820
Terry, Billy Herman, Arke Vaughn, to Pepper Martin, and Martin carries the ball all the way over to the pitcher's box and hands it to Schumacher.
1062
01:07:58,820 --> 01:08:01,820
There's something to him.
1063
01:08:01,820 --> 01:08:05,820
The last half of the third inning, nobody on and nobody off.
1064
01:08:05,820 --> 01:08:10,820
The American League batting and leading, greed enough.
1065
01:08:10,820 --> 01:08:14,820
He comes to wind up in the next pitch. The fast ball is blowing outside. The ball.
1066
01:08:14,820 --> 01:08:19,820
Makes it ball while on strike one.
1067
01:08:19,820 --> 01:08:27,820
Great crowd here today to see this game.
1068
01:08:27,820 --> 01:08:29,820
He's getting his sign again. Here's the next one.
1069
01:08:29,820 --> 01:08:33,820
The fast ball, he hits it right back at Schumacher, jumps up, grabs it in his left hand and throws him out.
1070
01:08:33,820 --> 01:08:43,820
Schumacher to Terry. One gone. Bosnik is out. Pitcher to first.
1071
01:08:43,820 --> 01:08:50,820
Next man to come up is the second baseman, Charlie Geringer, who walks the first time up.
1072
01:08:50,820 --> 01:08:56,820
Geringer, left hand hitter is batting. One gone in the last half of the third.
1073
01:08:56,820 --> 01:09:03,820
Actually, talked it up out there in the infield. Lots of pepper on both sides today.
1074
01:09:03,820 --> 01:09:10,820
Here's the first pitch to Geringer, and it was a fast ball in around his knees, right over the heart of the play to call strike a beauty.
1075
01:09:10,820 --> 01:09:13,820
Roger Hornsby coaching it first.
1076
01:09:13,820 --> 01:09:17,820
Del Baker of Detroit, coaching it third.
1077
01:09:17,820 --> 01:09:21,820
Wind up in the next pitch. The fast ball in low, almost into the dirt.
1078
01:09:21,820 --> 01:09:31,820
Ball one and strike one. One out and nobody on.
1079
01:09:31,820 --> 01:09:34,820
It takes his time getting ready.
1080
01:09:34,820 --> 01:09:39,820
Fast ball low, outside the ball, makes it ball two and strike one.
1081
01:09:39,820 --> 01:09:43,820
The umpire back of the plate today is Ormsby of the American League.
1082
01:09:43,820 --> 01:09:51,820
Major curses of the Nationals at first. Geisel of the American League is at second, and Sears of the National League is at third.
1083
01:09:51,820 --> 01:09:54,820
Schumacher at the count of ball two and strike one on Geringer.
1084
01:09:54,820 --> 01:09:57,820
Got him here in the last half of the third. Here's the next pitch.
1085
01:09:57,820 --> 01:09:59,820
Fast ball right over the plate, hits it on the ground off to Billy Herman.
1086
01:09:59,820 --> 01:10:03,820
He came up with a nice stop that time, gets it over to first base, and he's out. Billy Herman to Terry.
1087
01:10:03,820 --> 01:10:08,820
That ball was really hit hard. Billy Herman came up with the ball nicely and threw him out on the fast play.
1088
01:10:08,820 --> 01:10:14,820
Herman to Terry. Two gone.
1089
01:10:14,820 --> 01:10:19,820
Now the next man to come up is the first baseman of the American League team, Lou Gehrig.
1090
01:10:19,820 --> 01:10:24,820
Gehrig hit into a fourth play the first time up.
1091
01:10:24,820 --> 01:10:29,820
And scored on Jimmy Fox's home run in the first inning.
1092
01:10:29,820 --> 01:10:34,820
Here's the pitch, it's a fast ball right across his knees, it's strike one.
1093
01:10:34,820 --> 01:10:39,820
Left hand hitter, Lou Gehrig batting.
1094
01:10:39,820 --> 01:10:42,820
Too out of it, nobody on the bases here in the last half of the third.
1095
01:10:42,820 --> 01:10:46,820
Here's the next pitch. Gee, that was a nice one, but it was a little bit low.
1096
01:10:46,820 --> 01:10:49,820
Should have seen the break on that curve ball.
1097
01:10:49,820 --> 01:10:54,820
Just a little bit low, and the count is one and one. Hello.
1098
01:10:54,820 --> 01:10:57,820
Schumacher starts his windup.
1099
01:10:57,820 --> 01:10:59,820
Here comes the next pitch to Gehrig, and it's a fast ball.
1100
01:10:59,820 --> 01:11:05,820
It just misses the corner at the knee outside, or the ball makes it ball two and strike one.
1101
01:11:05,820 --> 01:11:09,820
Billy Herman is playing back at the edge of the glass.
1102
01:11:09,820 --> 01:11:12,820
Lou Gehrig, a hard hitter.
1103
01:11:12,820 --> 01:11:16,820
The outfielder in right field is playing way back. Hell off.
1104
01:11:16,820 --> 01:11:19,820
Here's the next pitch to Lou, and he hits the ground ball directly back at Billy Herman.
1105
01:11:19,820 --> 01:11:22,820
He's up with the ball over the first base, and he's out retiring the side.
1106
01:11:22,820 --> 01:11:27,820
Three up and three down, no runs, no hits, and no errors.
1107
01:11:27,820 --> 01:11:34,820
Two assists for Billy Herman that inning.
1108
01:11:34,820 --> 01:11:39,820
At the end of the third inning, and now the game is going into the first half of the fourth inning.
1109
01:11:39,820 --> 01:11:42,820
The American League going out of the field, and the National League coming to bat.
1110
01:11:42,820 --> 01:11:44,820
Here's Gomez coming out.
1111
01:11:44,820 --> 01:11:56,820
Score the American League three, the National League nothing.
1112
01:11:56,820 --> 01:11:58,820
The commander, Fyler, was working on this broadcast with me today.
1113
01:11:58,820 --> 01:12:02,820
He tells me that nobody ever hit a ball in that creature from center field.
1114
01:12:02,820 --> 01:12:06,820
And I can imagine that some wallop.
1115
01:12:06,820 --> 01:12:11,820
Seems like blocks and blocks away out to that center field wall.
1116
01:12:11,820 --> 01:12:16,820
The creature extends all the way across center field from right center to left center field,
1117
01:12:16,820 --> 01:12:20,820
where it is met by a double-deck grandstand.
1118
01:12:20,820 --> 01:12:24,820
Well, we're starting the first half of the fourth inning with the National League at bat,
1119
01:12:24,820 --> 01:12:30,820
three runs, and Archie Vaughn is going to be the first man up.
1120
01:12:30,820 --> 01:12:35,820
Flied out to Johnson the first time up, left-handed batter.
1121
01:12:35,820 --> 01:12:41,820
As far as the batting average goes, he's the leading hitter in the game today, batting up around 400.
1122
01:12:41,820 --> 01:12:43,820
Now the first pitch to Vaughn.
1123
01:12:43,820 --> 01:12:46,820
He hits one right over the second base and is led out into the right center field.
1124
01:12:46,820 --> 01:12:47,820
It's a safe hit.
1125
01:12:47,820 --> 01:12:50,820
Right fielder Vosmic fumbles the ball momentarily, gets it back into the infield fast.
1126
01:12:50,820 --> 01:12:54,820
He's flying for second base and he slides in safely.
1127
01:12:54,820 --> 01:12:57,820
It's called a two-base hit.
1128
01:12:57,820 --> 01:13:03,820
He slammed that ball into right center field, right over the second baseman's head.
1129
01:13:03,820 --> 01:13:07,820
Vosmic came over fast, caught the ball in the second bounce, fumbled it momentarily, dropped it,
1130
01:13:07,820 --> 01:13:09,820
picked it up again, and got it back into the infield.
1131
01:13:09,820 --> 01:13:10,820
But Vaughn hadn't hesitated.
1132
01:13:10,820 --> 01:13:14,820
He was flying for a double, and the official scorer calls it a two-base hit.
1133
01:13:14,820 --> 01:13:19,820
It's a double for Archie Vaughn.
1134
01:13:19,820 --> 01:13:21,820
Next man to come up is Mel Ott.
1135
01:13:21,820 --> 01:13:25,820
First pitch is inside for a ball.
1136
01:13:25,820 --> 01:13:28,820
Ott bounced up to Colton the first time up.
1137
01:13:28,820 --> 01:13:29,820
Man on second and nobody out.
1138
01:13:29,820 --> 01:13:30,820
Here's the next pitch.
1139
01:13:30,820 --> 01:13:34,820
He hits a high infield fly just to the left of the plate.
1140
01:13:34,820 --> 01:13:36,820
Robbie Hensley is going down the third baseline.
1141
01:13:36,820 --> 01:13:37,820
He's under it and he has it.
1142
01:13:37,820 --> 01:13:42,820
He caught the ball in third territory midway between the plate and third base and about a foot
1143
01:13:42,820 --> 01:13:46,820
inside the third baseline for the first stop.
1144
01:13:46,820 --> 01:13:50,820
It was a high infield fly caught by Hensley for the first stop.
1145
01:13:50,820 --> 01:13:53,820
One gone.
1146
01:13:53,820 --> 01:13:56,820
Now the next man to come up is Medwik, a left fielder.
1147
01:13:56,820 --> 01:13:58,820
He struck out the first time up.
1148
01:13:58,820 --> 01:14:01,820
Right-handed batter.
1149
01:14:01,820 --> 01:14:03,820
Gomez is getting his sign.
1150
01:14:03,820 --> 01:14:06,820
First pitch, he swings that right around his knees and misses for a strike.
1151
01:14:06,820 --> 01:14:10,820
Strike one.
1152
01:14:10,820 --> 01:14:12,820
The American League infield is playing back.
1153
01:14:12,820 --> 01:14:16,820
Gary, Garinger, Colton, Ott.
1154
01:14:16,820 --> 01:14:17,820
Here's the next pitch.
1155
01:14:17,820 --> 01:14:20,820
He follows it directly back into the screen.
1156
01:14:20,820 --> 01:14:23,820
It's two strikes now for Medwik.
1157
01:14:23,820 --> 01:14:28,820
His batting average to date this year is 362.
1158
01:14:28,820 --> 01:14:34,820
Right-hand hitter and a great hitter.
1159
01:14:34,820 --> 01:14:38,820
Gomez is looking down at Robbie Hensley, getting his sign, draws his arms up in front of him,
1160
01:14:38,820 --> 01:14:42,820
taking a long lead off, a slow ball comes in a little bit close at the shoulder,
1161
01:14:42,820 --> 01:14:46,820
and Medwik backs away.
1162
01:14:46,820 --> 01:14:51,820
Gil Cronin, shortstop of the American League, is tapping things up out there, talking it up.
1163
01:14:51,820 --> 01:14:54,820
Here's the next pitch to Medwik, and he hits a high foul, which is coming back.
1164
01:14:54,820 --> 01:14:56,820
The catcher is coming back, but I don't think he can get to it.
1165
01:14:56,820 --> 01:14:58,820
He's going back, but he can't.
1166
01:14:58,820 --> 01:15:02,820
It goes into the crowd, and the counter's ball runs strike two.
1167
01:15:02,820 --> 01:15:05,820
Armsby gives Robbie Hensley a new baseball, and he throws it out to Gomez,
1168
01:15:05,820 --> 01:15:07,820
who proceeds to rough it up.
1169
01:15:07,820 --> 01:15:11,820
He gets some of the old sign off it so the pitcher can get a firmer grip on the ball.
1170
01:15:11,820 --> 01:15:16,820
The All-Star game from Cleveland, Ohio, with the American League leading by a score of 3-0
1171
01:15:16,820 --> 01:15:20,820
in the first half of the fourth, and the National League has a man on second.
1172
01:15:20,820 --> 01:15:25,820
Medwik jumps away from a curved ball that goes into the dirt, in close, and the counter's 2-2.
1173
01:15:25,820 --> 01:15:27,820
Ball two and strike two.
1174
01:15:27,820 --> 01:15:31,820
Gomez has handled all the pitching for the American League.
1175
01:15:31,820 --> 01:15:36,820
The National League has used two pitchers so far, Walker and Schumacher.
1176
01:15:36,820 --> 01:15:42,820
Next pitch is a slow ball that's outside, makes it ball three and strike two.
1177
01:15:42,820 --> 01:15:44,820
Crowd roars with that slow ball.
1178
01:15:44,820 --> 01:15:49,820
It came in so slow you could almost read the old pavement.
1179
01:15:49,820 --> 01:15:52,820
There's a ball that's outside, a fast ball, and it's ball four,
1180
01:15:52,820 --> 01:15:55,820
and it puts National League runners on first and second.
1181
01:15:55,820 --> 01:16:00,820
Medwik draws a pass.
1182
01:16:00,820 --> 01:16:06,820
Next man to come up is Bill Terry, the first baseman.
1183
01:16:06,820 --> 01:16:16,820
He's a left-hander to there.
1184
01:16:16,820 --> 01:16:19,820
Here's Terry up at the plate.
1185
01:16:19,820 --> 01:16:23,820
Terry flied out to Johnson and Leftfield the first time up.
1186
01:16:23,820 --> 01:16:26,820
Now he has a chance here to help the National League crawl along the first pitch.
1187
01:16:26,820 --> 01:16:28,820
He hits hard through the box to the center field.
1188
01:16:28,820 --> 01:16:32,820
Here comes Vaughn around third base with a scoring.
1189
01:16:32,820 --> 01:16:35,820
The first run for the National League in the score is 3-1.
1190
01:16:35,820 --> 01:16:37,820
Bill Terry hits the first ball, hits down the ground,
1191
01:16:37,820 --> 01:16:39,820
right through the box to the center field.
1192
01:16:39,820 --> 01:16:43,820
Simmons gets it back in fast, and Medwik stops at second.
1193
01:16:43,820 --> 01:16:45,820
National League has runners on first and second.
1194
01:16:45,820 --> 01:16:49,820
One run is in, and there's one gone, and the next man to come up is Berger.
1195
01:16:49,820 --> 01:16:51,820
Vaughn has scored.
1196
01:16:51,820 --> 01:16:57,820
That was a hit, a sharp smash back into center field on the ground.
1197
01:16:57,820 --> 01:16:59,820
Here's Berger up.
1198
01:16:59,820 --> 01:17:01,820
He's out on an infield flyer the first time.
1199
01:17:01,820 --> 01:17:08,820
First pitch is a strike in across his knees.
1200
01:17:08,820 --> 01:17:10,820
American League warming up Mel Harder in the bullpen and right field.
1201
01:17:10,820 --> 01:17:13,820
A ball that's in close.
1202
01:17:13,820 --> 01:17:16,820
Hand-handed hitter, and backs Berger away from the plate.
1203
01:17:16,820 --> 01:17:18,820
Two men on the bases.
1204
01:17:18,820 --> 01:17:20,820
Wally Berger batting.
1205
01:17:20,820 --> 01:17:24,820
One run is scored in the first half of the fourth, and now the score is 3-1.
1206
01:17:24,820 --> 01:17:27,820
A sharp swing to the slow curve up around his shoulders and missed it,
1207
01:17:27,820 --> 01:17:30,820
and the count is ball one and strike two.
1208
01:17:30,820 --> 01:17:33,820
Medwik on second, Bill Terry on first.
1209
01:17:33,820 --> 01:17:34,820
Vaughn has scored.
1210
01:17:34,820 --> 01:17:35,820
There's one out.
1211
01:17:35,820 --> 01:17:37,820
It's the first half of the fourth inning.
1212
01:17:37,820 --> 01:17:40,820
Score of the American League three, the National League one.
1213
01:17:40,820 --> 01:17:43,820
Next pitch is a slow curve, and he's out on strike.
1214
01:17:43,820 --> 01:17:45,820
It was right over the heart of the plate.
1215
01:17:45,820 --> 01:17:50,820
A beauty has came in outside and cut right in over the plate,
1216
01:17:50,820 --> 01:17:53,820
waist-high, and Wally Berger is called out on strike.
1217
01:17:53,820 --> 01:17:54,820
The score.
1218
01:17:54,820 --> 01:17:57,820
Next man to come up is Billy Herman, the second baseman.
1219
01:17:57,820 --> 01:18:05,820
Billy bounced out the first time up.
1220
01:18:05,820 --> 01:18:06,820
He's going out by the pitcher.
1221
01:18:06,820 --> 01:18:09,820
First pitch is outside, knee-high for a ball.
1222
01:18:09,820 --> 01:18:12,820
Ball one to Billy.
1223
01:18:12,820 --> 01:18:14,820
National League is scored here in the first half of the fourth
1224
01:18:14,820 --> 01:18:17,820
on Bill Terry's sharp hit to center field.
1225
01:18:17,820 --> 01:18:19,820
Next pitch to Billy is in low and close.
1226
01:18:19,820 --> 01:18:25,820
It's a play from the plate and it's ball two for Herman.
1227
01:18:25,820 --> 01:18:27,820
A man on first and a man on second.
1228
01:18:27,820 --> 01:18:29,820
Ball two is the call on Billy Herman.
1229
01:18:29,820 --> 01:18:32,820
There's two out in the first half of the fourth.
1230
01:18:32,820 --> 01:18:35,820
Goalman takes his time, wipes his hands across the front of his uniform,
1231
01:18:35,820 --> 01:18:36,820
gets ready, here's the next pitch.
1232
01:18:36,820 --> 01:18:38,820
Billy hits a high fly into left field.
1233
01:18:38,820 --> 01:18:40,820
Johnson is under it and should get it.
1234
01:18:40,820 --> 01:18:41,820
He's moving in just a few feet.
1235
01:18:41,820 --> 01:18:44,820
He's camping under it, and he has it, retiring the side.
1236
01:18:44,820 --> 01:18:48,820
Two men are left down the bases.
1237
01:18:48,820 --> 01:18:53,820
The National League made one run and two hits.
1238
01:18:53,820 --> 01:18:56,820
One run and two hits.
1239
01:18:56,820 --> 01:18:59,820
Billy Herman fly it out to Johnson in left field,
1240
01:18:59,820 --> 01:19:02,820
and two men are left down the bases.
1241
01:19:02,820 --> 01:19:07,820
Now we're going into the last half of the fourth inning of this All-Star game.
1242
01:19:07,820 --> 01:19:11,820
The American League leading the National League by a score of 3-1.
1243
01:19:11,820 --> 01:19:13,820
Al Schumacher's out there in the mound.
1244
01:19:13,820 --> 01:19:18,820
Hellot going into right field, Berger to center field, Medwick to left field,
1245
01:19:18,820 --> 01:19:23,820
Kebba Martin third, ball on it short, Billy Herman at second and Terry at first.
1246
01:19:23,820 --> 01:19:26,820
We keep repeating the lineup to both teams every once in a while.
1247
01:19:26,820 --> 01:19:29,820
For the benefit of all, those of you who may be tuning in late,
1248
01:19:29,820 --> 01:19:34,820
so that you can get right up to just what's happening out here at Cleveland in the All-Star game
1249
01:19:34,820 --> 01:19:37,820
and know Jeff Soon-Poo on both sides.
1250
01:19:37,820 --> 01:19:39,820
The American League is leading 3-1.
1251
01:19:39,820 --> 01:19:42,820
The game is going into the last half of the fourth inning,
1252
01:19:42,820 --> 01:19:49,820
and Jimmy Fox, who plays third base for the American League team, is the first man up.
1253
01:19:49,820 --> 01:19:52,820
His first appearance at bat today, he drove a home run over Medwick's head,
1254
01:19:52,820 --> 01:19:56,820
scoring Gerrig ahead of him for the first two American League runs.
1255
01:19:56,820 --> 01:19:59,820
Here he is up at the plate now facing Schumacher.
1256
01:19:59,820 --> 01:20:03,820
That homer was hit off of Walker.
1257
01:20:03,820 --> 01:20:06,820
Now to wind up on the first pitch, Fox swings hard and misses.
1258
01:20:06,820 --> 01:20:12,820
He's got a good round on that one, trying to give it a ride.
1259
01:20:12,820 --> 01:20:17,820
Jimmy Fox, far outhouse to the Philadelphia Athletics.
1260
01:20:17,820 --> 01:20:19,820
Here's the wind up on the next pitch.
1261
01:20:19,820 --> 01:20:21,820
It's a fastball over the outside corner at the knee.
1262
01:20:21,820 --> 01:20:24,820
It's called strike two.
1263
01:20:24,820 --> 01:20:28,820
Schumacher of the National League is just blazing him in out there now.
1264
01:20:28,820 --> 01:20:30,820
Nobody on the bases.
1265
01:20:30,820 --> 01:20:32,820
Nobody out in the last half of the fourth.
1266
01:20:32,820 --> 01:20:34,820
Here's the next pitch to Fox.
1267
01:20:34,820 --> 01:20:37,820
He's playing, but he pulled his bat and the ball broke outside at the knee,
1268
01:20:37,820 --> 01:20:39,820
and it's called a ball.
1269
01:20:39,820 --> 01:20:45,820
Fox started to go after that fastball, but it broke outside, and the count is one and two.
1270
01:20:45,820 --> 01:20:52,820
Jimmy Herman is playing way back on the grass at second base for Fox.
1271
01:20:52,820 --> 01:20:56,820
Here's the next pitch, and it's in low and then close, almost into the dirt.
1272
01:20:56,820 --> 01:20:59,820
Makes it fall through and strike two for Jimmy.
1273
01:20:59,820 --> 01:21:00,820
It's his third base.
1274
01:21:00,820 --> 01:21:02,820
He's playing over pretty close to the foul line.
1275
01:21:02,820 --> 01:21:07,820
The outfield has shifted pretty far around to the left with Medwick playing real deep.
1276
01:21:07,820 --> 01:21:08,820
Here's the next pitch.
1277
01:21:08,820 --> 01:21:11,820
Fox takes one right down the middle, and he's out on strike.
1278
01:21:11,820 --> 01:21:14,820
It was a fastball right over the heart of the plate.
1279
01:21:14,820 --> 01:21:15,820
Fox is out on strike.
1280
01:21:15,820 --> 01:21:18,820
National League are taking it around the infield from third to short,
1281
01:21:18,820 --> 01:21:20,820
from second to first, and back to the pitch.
1282
01:21:20,820 --> 01:21:27,820
Now the next man to come up, a right-handed hitter, is Bob Johnson, the left fielder.
1283
01:21:27,820 --> 01:21:29,820
He's flied out to Melovin the first time up.
1284
01:21:29,820 --> 01:21:32,820
He's batting now in the last half of the fourth inning with one gone.
1285
01:21:32,820 --> 01:21:36,820
Here's the pitch to Bob, and he swings hard and clouds the ball back into the screen.
1286
01:21:36,820 --> 01:21:41,820
Strike one.
1287
01:21:41,820 --> 01:21:46,820
Still cloudy out here, but it's clearing up nicely.
1288
01:21:46,820 --> 01:21:49,820
Not warm, not too cool.
1289
01:21:49,820 --> 01:21:52,820
It's very split.
1290
01:21:52,820 --> 01:21:57,820
Bill Terry came over at the edge of the grass, say something to Schumacher.
1291
01:21:57,820 --> 01:21:59,820
He goes back to his position at first.
1292
01:21:59,820 --> 01:22:00,820
Counter-strike one on Johnson.
1293
01:22:00,820 --> 01:22:01,820
Here's the next pitch.
1294
01:22:01,820 --> 01:22:06,820
He hits a long foul way back there to the right and up into the upper deck,
1295
01:22:06,820 --> 01:22:09,820
back of first base, and it's strike two.
1296
01:22:09,820 --> 01:22:13,820
Johnson is a right-handed hitter.
1297
01:22:13,820 --> 01:22:16,820
Now the new ball is tossed into the game, and Wilson tosses it down to Peppermark in the third,
1298
01:22:16,820 --> 01:22:18,820
who proceeds to give the ball a good roughing up.
1299
01:22:18,820 --> 01:22:21,820
That's number to shine off it.
1300
01:22:21,820 --> 01:22:23,820
American League batting in the last half of the fourth.
1301
01:22:23,820 --> 01:22:28,820
Nobody on the bases, one out, and they're leading three to one.
1302
01:22:28,820 --> 01:22:31,820
Schumacher, right-handers, getting a sign again.
1303
01:22:31,820 --> 01:22:32,820
Starts his wind up.
1304
01:22:32,820 --> 01:22:33,820
Here's the next pitch.
1305
01:22:33,820 --> 01:22:36,820
Johnson swings and misses, striking off.
1306
01:22:36,820 --> 01:22:40,820
Johnson swung at a slow curve in around his knees and struck out.
1307
01:22:40,820 --> 01:22:42,820
National Leaguers take it around the infield again.
1308
01:22:42,820 --> 01:22:43,820
That's two gone.
1309
01:22:43,820 --> 01:22:48,820
Here's Al Simmons up.
1310
01:22:48,820 --> 01:22:50,820
Al Simmons is batting.
1311
01:22:50,820 --> 01:22:55,820
The right-handed hitter.
1312
01:22:55,820 --> 01:22:57,820
Schumacher looks him over carefully.
1313
01:22:57,820 --> 01:23:00,820
Al struck out the first time up today.
1314
01:23:00,820 --> 01:23:05,820
That was against Walker.
1315
01:23:05,820 --> 01:23:07,820
The first pitch is inside.
1316
01:23:07,820 --> 01:23:18,820
It's very close to Simmons and back them away, ball one.
1317
01:23:18,820 --> 01:23:21,820
Here comes the next pitch to Simmons and he hits a foul ball.
1318
01:23:21,820 --> 01:23:22,820
Back on the plate.
1319
01:23:22,820 --> 01:23:25,820
It's ball one and strike one for Al.
1320
01:23:25,820 --> 01:23:28,820
Jimmy Wilkins picks the ball up, looks it over.
1321
01:23:28,820 --> 01:23:33,820
The umpire says it's okay, and Wilkins takes it back to Al Schumacher.
1322
01:23:33,820 --> 01:23:40,820
Al Simmons is batting with two off and nobody on the bases in the last half of the fourth inning.
1323
01:23:40,820 --> 01:23:43,820
Here's the wind up in the next pitch, a fast ball, and Al swings hard and misses.
1324
01:23:43,820 --> 01:23:45,820
Gee, he certainly did burn that one in there.
1325
01:23:45,820 --> 01:23:50,820
It's ball one and strike two.
1326
01:23:50,820 --> 01:23:57,820
Al Schumacher has cannonball speed out there today and he certainly is blazing that ball in.
1327
01:23:57,820 --> 01:23:59,820
Here's the wind up in the next pitch.
1328
01:23:59,820 --> 01:24:01,820
There's the ground ball past the pitcher.
1329
01:24:01,820 --> 01:24:02,820
Shortstop and third base from both after.
1330
01:24:02,820 --> 01:24:05,820
Kupfer-Martin gets the ball over to first base, throws the ball away.
1331
01:24:05,820 --> 01:24:07,820
Al Simmons goes down the plate to second base.
1332
01:24:07,820 --> 01:24:14,820
Perry picks the ball up, hits it back into the infield, but Al is at second base safely.
1333
01:24:14,820 --> 01:24:19,820
It's a hit and an error.
1334
01:24:19,820 --> 01:24:21,820
A hit and an error.
1335
01:24:21,820 --> 01:24:24,820
A hit for Simmons, it's been a slow roller past the pitcher.
1336
01:24:24,820 --> 01:24:27,820
To the third base side of the pitcher's box.
1337
01:24:27,820 --> 01:24:30,820
A shortstop and a third base from both went for the ball.
1338
01:24:30,820 --> 01:24:33,820
Ball in Martin. Martin picks up the ball and threw the ball over Terry's head.
1339
01:24:33,820 --> 01:24:42,820
Al Simmons gets the hit and Martin draws an error.
1340
01:24:42,820 --> 01:24:47,820
It's an error for Kupfer-Martin.
1341
01:24:47,820 --> 01:24:48,820
The first error of the ball game.
1342
01:24:48,820 --> 01:24:52,820
It puts Al Simmons on second base and the next man to come up is the catcher, Raleigh Hemsley.
1343
01:24:52,820 --> 01:24:55,820
He tripled over Medwick's head the last three first time up.
1344
01:24:55,820 --> 01:24:58,820
Now he's batting with two gone and now Simmons on second.
1345
01:24:58,820 --> 01:25:05,820
Al Schumacher takes a look around to see that everybody's in place.
1346
01:25:05,820 --> 01:25:08,820
Hemsley batting.
1347
01:25:08,820 --> 01:25:11,820
First pitch to Raleigh is too high at the ball.
1348
01:25:11,820 --> 01:25:13,820
Ball one.
1349
01:25:13,820 --> 01:25:18,820
Left fielder of the National League, Medwick, moves over playing over close to the foul line.
1350
01:25:18,820 --> 01:25:24,820
Berger in center field is playing in left center and Melod in right field is playing in right fielder's regular position.
1351
01:25:24,820 --> 01:25:25,820
Here's the next pitch.
1352
01:25:25,820 --> 01:25:29,820
He swings and hits one right in front of the plate.
1353
01:25:29,820 --> 01:25:31,820
The catcher picks it up.
1354
01:25:31,820 --> 01:25:38,820
Hags Hemsley who stood at the plate and he's out.
1355
01:25:38,820 --> 01:25:40,820
Repairing the side.
1356
01:25:40,820 --> 01:25:42,820
Raleigh Hemsley bounced one right in front of the plate.
1357
01:25:42,820 --> 01:25:43,820
He didn't run.
1358
01:25:43,820 --> 01:25:44,820
He thought it was foul.
1359
01:25:44,820 --> 01:25:46,820
The catcher picked it up and tagged him and he's out.
1360
01:25:46,820 --> 01:25:58,820
Repairing the side and Al Simmons is left down the base.
1361
01:25:58,820 --> 01:26:02,820
Well, at the end of the fourth inning, now the game is going into the first half of the fifth inning.
1362
01:26:02,820 --> 01:26:04,820
Raleigh Hemsley thought that ball was foul.
1363
01:26:04,820 --> 01:26:11,820
Both who picked it up right in front of the plate and tagged him and the umpire says you're out and Al Simmons is left down the base.
1364
01:26:11,820 --> 01:26:20,820
At the end of the fourth inning, the score of the all-star game at Cleveland, Ohio is the American League 3, the National League 1.
1365
01:26:20,820 --> 01:26:32,820
Each of a ball game out here today and it's still anybody's ball game with anything likely to happen at any time because of the great hitters on both sides.
1366
01:26:32,820 --> 01:26:36,820
Now we're going to pause briefly for station identification.
1367
01:26:36,820 --> 01:26:40,820
This is Bob Elson giving you the play-by-play description of the all-star game from Cleveland, Ohio.
1368
01:26:40,820 --> 01:26:45,820
This is the Mutual Broadcasting 6.
1369
01:26:45,820 --> 01:26:59,820
This is WG and the Chicago Tribune station on the Drake Hotel.
1370
01:26:59,820 --> 01:27:03,820
Now we're going into the first half of the fifth inning. Dolmez out there on the mound.
1371
01:27:03,820 --> 01:27:07,820
Left-hander out there at the right field both hands.
1372
01:27:07,820 --> 01:27:13,820
Mel Harder is warming up.
1373
01:27:13,820 --> 01:27:18,820
The first man to bat for the National League is the catcher, Jimmy Wilkins.
1374
01:27:18,820 --> 01:27:21,820
Right-handed hitter.
1375
01:27:21,820 --> 01:27:23,820
He bounced off the guarantor the first time up.
1376
01:27:23,820 --> 01:27:31,820
Batting now to start the fifth. Nobody out, nobody on. First pitch is way over his head and Dolly Hensley has to jump up and outside for it.
1377
01:27:31,820 --> 01:27:35,820
Dolmez, the pitcher.
1378
01:27:35,820 --> 01:27:37,820
Fastball right over the plate and it's called a strike.
1379
01:27:37,820 --> 01:27:41,820
Makes his ball run and strikes one for Wilkins.
1380
01:27:41,820 --> 01:27:43,820
National League trailing by two runs.
1381
01:27:43,820 --> 01:27:47,820
He did bat here in the first half of the fifth inning.
1382
01:27:47,820 --> 01:27:49,820
Dolmez is getting his time again.
1383
01:27:49,820 --> 01:27:50,820
Here's the windup in the next pitch.
1384
01:27:50,820 --> 01:27:53,820
He bounced it down the third base line. It's a beauty.
1385
01:27:53,820 --> 01:27:56,820
All it's going foul now as the third base from Fox comes in fast.
1386
01:27:56,820 --> 01:28:00,820
It was a punt, a slow roller down the third base line.
1387
01:28:00,820 --> 01:28:05,820
Just about a half a foot fair and it was rolling along the line and Fox saw that he didn't have a chance of getting the man.
1388
01:28:05,820 --> 01:28:07,820
He left the ball roll and it went foul.
1389
01:28:07,820 --> 01:28:10,820
It's a foul strike and the count is one and two.
1390
01:28:10,820 --> 01:28:12,820
Here's Wilkins coming back to the plate.
1391
01:28:12,820 --> 01:28:28,820
Now Dolmez is waiting for Wilkins to get back to the plate.
1392
01:28:28,820 --> 01:28:31,820
Up in there now, right-handed it there.
1393
01:28:31,820 --> 01:28:33,820
Dolmez is pitched all the way for the American League.
1394
01:28:33,820 --> 01:28:37,820
The National League is used Walker and Schumacher.
1395
01:28:37,820 --> 01:28:39,820
Here's the pitch and he hits a long fly.
1396
01:28:39,820 --> 01:28:41,820
Back in the left underfield, Johnson is going back.
1397
01:28:41,820 --> 01:28:44,820
He went over, he's under it and he has the ball for the first half.
1398
01:28:44,820 --> 01:28:47,820
Wilkins slammed a long fly ball into left center field.
1399
01:28:47,820 --> 01:28:51,820
Bob Johnson went over fast, got under it and pulled it down for the first half.
1400
01:28:51,820 --> 01:28:57,820
One going.
1401
01:28:57,820 --> 01:29:04,820
Now the next man to come up is the pitcher, Hal Schumacher.
1402
01:29:04,820 --> 01:29:11,820
Schumacher's getting a nice hand from the crowd.
1403
01:29:11,820 --> 01:29:13,820
Pitchy swings hard and misses.
1404
01:29:13,820 --> 01:29:14,820
What a strike.
1405
01:29:14,820 --> 01:29:17,820
Strike one.
1406
01:29:17,820 --> 01:29:22,820
Right-handed hitter up at the plate.
1407
01:29:22,820 --> 01:29:25,820
Here comes the next pitch to Schumacher at the curve ball inside.
1408
01:29:25,820 --> 01:29:28,820
He started to go for it but stopped and hit the ball.
1409
01:29:28,820 --> 01:29:29,820
Broke in very low.
1410
01:29:29,820 --> 01:29:30,820
Ball one.
1411
01:29:30,820 --> 01:29:32,820
Strike one.
1412
01:29:32,820 --> 01:29:39,820
This is the third annual All-Star game being played this year in the great stadium at Cleveland, Ohio.
1413
01:29:39,820 --> 01:29:42,820
A fast ball right over the plate and Schumacher took a big swing and misses.
1414
01:29:42,820 --> 01:29:46,820
Ball one and strike two now for Hal.
1415
01:29:46,820 --> 01:29:49,820
Gomez moves his left foot across the rubber out there.
1416
01:29:49,820 --> 01:29:50,820
Now he starts his windup again.
1417
01:29:50,820 --> 01:29:51,820
Here's the next pitch.
1418
01:29:51,820 --> 01:29:53,820
The curve ball, he hits it hard.
1419
01:29:53,820 --> 01:29:56,820
Down on the ground to Cronen, big bounce, gets it over to first base and he's out.
1420
01:29:56,820 --> 01:30:01,820
Cronen to Gehry.
1421
01:30:01,820 --> 01:30:02,820
He took a big bounce.
1422
01:30:02,820 --> 01:30:05,820
Cronen came up with it and threw him out on a nice play.
1423
01:30:05,820 --> 01:30:11,820
To Gaughan.
1424
01:30:11,820 --> 01:30:15,820
Now the top of the batting order with Pepper Marks coming up the plate.
1425
01:30:15,820 --> 01:30:16,820
Marks has hit up twice.
1426
01:30:16,820 --> 01:30:22,820
He singles the left field the first time and the second time he's struck out.
1427
01:30:22,820 --> 01:30:24,820
Here's the windup by Gomez and the first pitch is out to try.
1428
01:30:24,820 --> 01:30:27,820
There's that tantalizing slow ball again.
1429
01:30:27,820 --> 01:30:33,820
Pepper looked it over and the crowd roared.
1430
01:30:33,820 --> 01:30:35,820
Nobody on the bases and threw out.
1431
01:30:35,820 --> 01:30:39,820
There's a hard hit follow fly way down the right field line.
1432
01:30:39,820 --> 01:30:41,820
Right fielder coming over fast but can't get it.
1433
01:30:41,820 --> 01:30:44,820
Posnick made a nice play for the ball but he couldn't get to it.
1434
01:30:44,820 --> 01:30:47,820
A new ball is tossed back in around the American League infield and Pepper Marks,
1435
01:30:47,820 --> 01:30:51,820
who was on his way down to first base, is coming back to the plate.
1436
01:30:51,820 --> 01:30:57,820
We've made plenty of baseball history with the St. Louis Targets.
1437
01:30:57,820 --> 01:31:02,820
Third baseman for the National League All-Star team this year.
1438
01:31:02,820 --> 01:31:05,820
These are fellows in there huffing all the time.
1439
01:31:05,820 --> 01:31:07,820
Right hand batter on the count is one and one.
1440
01:31:07,820 --> 01:31:09,820
There's two out here in the first half of the fifth.
1441
01:31:09,820 --> 01:31:11,820
American League leading three to one.
1442
01:31:11,820 --> 01:31:12,820
Fast ball up around his neck.
1443
01:31:12,820 --> 01:31:16,820
Pepper swung hard and fell down and it's ball one and strike two.
1444
01:31:16,820 --> 01:31:20,820
One and two now for Pepper Marks.
1445
01:31:20,820 --> 01:31:24,820
The American League are talking up out there in the infield.
1446
01:31:24,820 --> 01:31:26,820
Here comes the wind up in the next pitch.
1447
01:31:26,820 --> 01:31:28,820
It's outside and high for a ball.
1448
01:31:28,820 --> 01:31:30,820
Makes it two and two for Pepper.
1449
01:31:30,820 --> 01:31:34,820
Next man to come up will be Archie Vaughn.
1450
01:31:34,820 --> 01:31:38,820
He's needing off here to the left, a little bit to the left of the plate.
1451
01:31:38,820 --> 01:31:40,820
Here comes the wind up in the next pitch.
1452
01:31:40,820 --> 01:31:43,820
It's a fast ball low for a ball, ball one.
1453
01:31:43,820 --> 01:31:46,820
The American League has the dugout behind first base
1454
01:31:46,820 --> 01:31:49,820
and the National League has the dugout behind third.
1455
01:31:49,820 --> 01:31:54,820
Ball three and strike two is the count.
1456
01:31:54,820 --> 01:31:55,820
Here's the next pitch.
1457
01:31:55,820 --> 01:31:58,820
He swings hard and he lifts it, striking out.
1458
01:31:58,820 --> 01:32:01,820
Pepper Marks is swung at a fast ball, shoulder high,
1459
01:32:01,820 --> 01:32:05,820
and he's struck out for the second time.
1460
01:32:05,820 --> 01:32:08,820
That's the end of the first half of the fifth inning.
1461
01:32:08,820 --> 01:32:17,820
Three up and three down, no runs, no hits, and no errors.
1462
01:32:17,820 --> 01:32:20,820
Now the game is going into the last half of the fifth inning.
1463
01:32:20,820 --> 01:32:22,820
National League is going out in the field
1464
01:32:22,820 --> 01:32:24,820
and the American League is coming to bat.
1465
01:32:24,820 --> 01:32:27,820
Al Schumacher is just walking into the pitcher's circle.
1466
01:32:27,820 --> 01:32:31,820
Jimmy Wilson is just adjusting his mass as he comes up toward the plate.
1467
01:32:31,820 --> 01:32:36,820
El Baker is crossing the plate, going down the third base line to coach his third.
1468
01:32:36,820 --> 01:32:52,820
Joe Cronin coming up toward the plate swinging a couple of bats.
1469
01:32:52,820 --> 01:32:56,820
We're starting the last half of the fifth inning of the All-Star Game at Cleveland
1470
01:32:56,820 --> 01:33:02,820
with the score American League three, the National League one.
1471
01:33:02,820 --> 01:33:05,820
American League scored two in the first and one in the second.
1472
01:33:05,820 --> 01:33:09,820
American League scored one in the fourth.
1473
01:33:09,820 --> 01:33:20,820
There's a conference over in the American League dugout now.
1474
01:33:20,820 --> 01:33:23,820
They're still conferring over at the American League dugout.
1475
01:33:23,820 --> 01:33:30,820
Right now Joe Cronin is talking to Roger Hornby, one of the American League coaches.
1476
01:33:30,820 --> 01:33:37,820
He's been in his face and he's talking to Joe.
1477
01:33:37,820 --> 01:33:43,820
Cronin went over to the American League dugout to talk to manager Mickey Cochran.
1478
01:33:43,820 --> 01:33:47,820
Hornby also went over there and they held a short conference.
1479
01:33:47,820 --> 01:33:57,820
And now Cronin is coming back toward the plate swinging two light bats, light colored bats.
1480
01:33:57,820 --> 01:34:00,820
Cronin will be the first man up in the last half of the fifth inning,
1481
01:34:00,820 --> 01:34:10,820
scoring American League three, the National League one.
1482
01:34:10,820 --> 01:34:11,820
Now there's a slight delay here.
1483
01:34:11,820 --> 01:34:22,820
Two of the umpires have disappeared.
1484
01:34:22,820 --> 01:34:32,820
The umpires are just waiting for the umpires to come back.
1485
01:34:32,820 --> 01:34:36,820
Now Schumacher's out there in the mound whipping over a few of the catchers.
1486
01:34:36,820 --> 01:34:42,820
Joe Cronin is standing off there to the left side of the plate.
1487
01:34:42,820 --> 01:34:44,820
Starting the last half of the fifth.
1488
01:34:44,820 --> 01:34:48,820
So far the American League total in the first inning, two runs and one hit.
1489
01:34:48,820 --> 01:34:50,820
In the second inning, one run and one hit.
1490
01:34:50,820 --> 01:34:52,820
In the third, no runs and no hit.
1491
01:34:52,820 --> 01:34:56,820
And in the fourth, no runs and one hit.
1492
01:34:56,820 --> 01:35:00,820
The National League total for five innings, the first inning no runs and one hit.
1493
01:35:00,820 --> 01:35:02,820
The second, no runs and no hit.
1494
01:35:02,820 --> 01:35:03,820
The third, the same.
1495
01:35:03,820 --> 01:35:05,820
The fourth, one run and two hit.
1496
01:35:05,820 --> 01:35:09,820
And the fifth, no runs and no hit.
1497
01:35:09,820 --> 01:35:13,820
Well the National League couple of marksmen has made one hit.
1498
01:35:13,820 --> 01:35:18,820
Bill Terry has made one.
1499
01:35:18,820 --> 01:35:19,820
And Archie Vaughan has made one.
1500
01:35:19,820 --> 01:35:22,820
They have a total so far of three hits.
1501
01:35:22,820 --> 01:35:26,820
Well the American League, Jimmy Fox has made one a home run.
1502
01:35:26,820 --> 01:35:28,820
Al Simmons has made one.
1503
01:35:28,820 --> 01:35:43,820
And Raleigh Hensley has made one a three-bagger, a long smash over the left fielder's hit.
1504
01:35:43,820 --> 01:35:50,820
So the total as the game goes into the last half of the fifth inning,
1505
01:35:50,820 --> 01:35:54,820
the American League has three runs and three hits.
1506
01:35:54,820 --> 01:36:00,820
The National League has one run and three hits.
1507
01:36:00,820 --> 01:36:04,820
This complete double-deck stand is completely jammed out here in Cleveland today.
1508
01:36:04,820 --> 01:36:10,820
There are a few vacant spots way out there in center field in the upper tier of the center field bleachers.
1509
01:36:10,820 --> 01:36:16,820
But the grandstand, a double-deck deep affair all the way around from right center field down here,
1510
01:36:16,820 --> 01:36:24,820
down the right field line of the plate, and then along the left field line and cutting back again off into left center field is completely jammed.
1511
01:36:24,820 --> 01:36:31,820
I don't think there's a seat to be had.
1512
01:36:31,820 --> 01:36:38,820
The delay is because they're going to change umpires now with half of the game over.
1513
01:36:38,820 --> 01:36:41,820
And the umpires are changing their equipment.
1514
01:36:41,820 --> 01:36:47,820
As you know, the umpire back at the plate wears his test detector, buckled on under his coat,
1515
01:36:47,820 --> 01:36:53,820
and he's taking a little time and going back up into the rooms to get all set, go back at the plate.
1516
01:36:53,820 --> 01:36:57,820
One of the National League umpires will come down here behind the plate,
1517
01:36:57,820 --> 01:37:03,820
and the American League umpires will be out there on the bases when players resume here in the last half of the fifth inning.
1518
01:37:03,820 --> 01:37:08,820
The American League was behind the plate and at second for the first half of the game,
1519
01:37:08,820 --> 01:37:10,820
and the National League was at first and third.
1520
01:37:10,820 --> 01:37:15,820
Now they're just going to change positions, and the National League will be behind the plate and out of second base,
1521
01:37:15,820 --> 01:37:21,820
and the American League will be at first and third.
1522
01:37:21,820 --> 01:37:22,820
Now the crowd doesn't like the delay.
1523
01:37:22,820 --> 01:37:25,820
Well, here's umpire Major Chert.
1524
01:37:25,820 --> 01:37:27,820
He went back in.
1525
01:37:27,820 --> 01:37:33,820
He's going to be out, going to bulge you now with that test detector under his coat.
1526
01:37:33,820 --> 01:37:39,820
The Northland umpire is working his game today.
1527
01:37:39,820 --> 01:37:41,820
Credit to their respective leagues.
1528
01:37:41,820 --> 01:37:44,820
Major Chert and Sears.
1529
01:37:44,820 --> 01:37:46,820
Dice of an arm.
1530
01:37:46,820 --> 01:37:48,820
The last half of the fifth inning is getting underway now, ladies and government.
1531
01:37:48,820 --> 01:37:53,820
The All-Star game is Cleveland-Milwaukee, and the first man to bat a right-handed hitter.
1532
01:37:53,820 --> 01:37:57,820
The first man to play is Joe Kuhlman.
1533
01:37:57,820 --> 01:38:01,820
Here he is.
1534
01:38:01,820 --> 01:38:03,820
Mel Harder still warming up.
1535
01:38:03,820 --> 01:38:06,820
Down there at the right field line, we may have a pinch hitter fall the pitcher.
1536
01:38:06,820 --> 01:38:10,820
First one's right over the plate across Joe's knees for the called strike.
1537
01:38:10,820 --> 01:38:17,820
Umpire still exhibiting that dazzling fastball of his, and believe me, it's fast today.
1538
01:38:17,820 --> 01:38:19,820
Getting his sign again.
1539
01:38:19,820 --> 01:38:25,820
And he falls the ball into the grandstand off there to the right, and it's two strikes.
1540
01:38:25,820 --> 01:38:29,820
Nobody on the bases, nobody out of the last half of the fifth inning, the American League batting,
1541
01:38:29,820 --> 01:38:35,820
and the American League leading in this game by a score of three to one.
1542
01:38:35,820 --> 01:38:40,820
If he takes his time again, here's the windup in the next one.
1543
01:38:40,820 --> 01:38:49,820
The fastball, and he reaches out and swings and misses. Kuhlman is out on strike.
1544
01:38:49,820 --> 01:38:55,820
Now the next man to come up, Kuhlman, coming up the bat for himself.
1545
01:38:55,820 --> 01:38:58,820
Here he comes up toward the plate.
1546
01:38:58,820 --> 01:39:02,820
The crowd is a little bit surprised, almost expected to see someone come up the bat for him,
1547
01:39:02,820 --> 01:39:04,820
but Kuhlman's coming up the bat for himself.
1548
01:39:04,820 --> 01:39:08,820
The left-handed hitter.
1549
01:39:08,820 --> 01:39:10,820
The pitch is getting ready.
1550
01:39:10,820 --> 01:39:12,820
Here's the windup in the first one.
1551
01:39:12,820 --> 01:39:18,820
It's a fastball adjustment, the corner, knee-high for the ball.
1552
01:39:18,820 --> 01:39:23,820
Nobody on, one gone in the last half of the fifth.
1553
01:39:23,820 --> 01:39:25,820
The pitch is getting his sign again.
1554
01:39:25,820 --> 01:39:31,820
Here's the windup in the next one, the Gomez outside, knee-high for the ball, makes it ball two.
1555
01:39:31,820 --> 01:39:34,820
Top of the batting order will be up next.
1556
01:39:34,820 --> 01:39:37,820
Joe Woznik.
1557
01:39:37,820 --> 01:39:43,820
American League Chief Mel Hodder warming up out there in right field bullpen.
1558
01:39:43,820 --> 01:39:45,820
If he's getting his sign again, here's the next one.
1559
01:39:45,820 --> 01:39:50,820
It's a fastball right over the heart of the plate for a called strike, and the count is two and one.
1560
01:39:50,820 --> 01:39:55,820
Pepper Martin, Archie Vaughan, Billy Herman, Bill Terry talking up around that National League infield.
1561
01:39:55,820 --> 01:39:58,820
Lots of pepper on both sides today.
1562
01:39:58,820 --> 01:40:01,820
Here's the next pitch, and he swings sort of a lazy sort of a swing at that one.
1563
01:40:01,820 --> 01:40:05,820
Came in close, shoulder high, and he missed it on the count of two and two.
1564
01:40:05,820 --> 01:40:08,820
Ball two and strike three.
1565
01:40:08,820 --> 01:40:12,820
Now he made up his mind a little bit late to swing at that one.
1566
01:40:12,820 --> 01:40:14,820
Schumacher's getting his sign again from Wilson.
1567
01:40:14,820 --> 01:40:17,820
Here's the next pitch, a fastball, he hits it on the ground after the shortstop,
1568
01:40:17,820 --> 01:40:22,820
ball in fast on the ball, gets it over the first base, and he's out for the second out.
1569
01:40:22,820 --> 01:40:24,820
On to Terry.
1570
01:40:24,820 --> 01:40:27,820
Oh, man, I like to eat.
1571
01:40:27,820 --> 01:40:33,820
On the top of the batting order is Joe Woznik, hometown boy,
1572
01:40:33,820 --> 01:40:35,820
playing in right field, up at the plate.
1573
01:40:35,820 --> 01:40:38,820
Woznik bounced out the first time to the second baseman,
1574
01:40:38,820 --> 01:40:47,820
the second time he bounced out to the pitcher, and now the crowd is pulling for him to hit one.
1575
01:40:47,820 --> 01:40:50,820
Schumacher looks him over carefully.
1576
01:40:50,820 --> 01:40:54,820
The score is three to one in favor of the American League in the last half of the fifth.
1577
01:40:54,820 --> 01:40:56,820
Fastball right over the outside corner, knee high.
1578
01:40:56,820 --> 01:41:00,820
A called strike on Joe.
1579
01:41:00,820 --> 01:41:04,820
Delbaker coaching his third, Rogers Hornsby over his first.
1580
01:41:04,820 --> 01:41:06,820
Schumacher starting his windup again.
1581
01:41:06,820 --> 01:41:07,820
Here's the next pitch.
1582
01:41:07,820 --> 01:41:13,820
It's outside and low, a ball, and the count is one and one for Joe.
1583
01:41:13,820 --> 01:41:20,820
He wears number six from the back of his white uniform.
1584
01:41:20,820 --> 01:41:24,820
He's getting his sign again, starts his windup.
1585
01:41:24,820 --> 01:41:26,820
Here's the next pitch, and there's a hit.
1586
01:41:26,820 --> 01:41:30,820
He's got the first baseman down the right field line, Nelot is over fast,
1587
01:41:30,820 --> 01:41:34,820
gets the ball back into the infield in a hurry, and Woznik is content with a single.
1588
01:41:34,820 --> 01:41:36,820
Nelot got over fast with that ball.
1589
01:41:36,820 --> 01:41:43,820
It was hit just past the first baseman between first and second out in the right field.
1590
01:41:43,820 --> 01:41:48,820
Ott picked up the ball and got it into the infield fast, and Woznik stays at first.
1591
01:41:48,820 --> 01:41:49,820
It's a single.
1592
01:41:49,820 --> 01:41:57,820
He's got a teammate on first base with two off, and Geringer comes up.
1593
01:41:57,820 --> 01:41:59,820
That sounded better.
1594
01:41:59,820 --> 01:42:02,820
First pitch is right over the plate for a called strike.
1595
01:42:02,820 --> 01:42:05,820
Geringer walked the first time and bounced out the second time.
1596
01:42:05,820 --> 01:42:10,820
He's fighting for the third time now with a teammate on first base and two gone in the last half of the fifth.
1597
01:42:10,820 --> 01:42:14,820
Woznik increasing his lead.
1598
01:42:14,820 --> 01:42:15,820
Schumacher watches him over.
1599
01:42:15,820 --> 01:42:20,820
He throws the ball over to first base and he's back on the bag in a hurry.
1600
01:42:20,820 --> 01:42:23,820
Left-handed hitter up at the plate, Charlie Geringer, the second baseman.
1601
01:42:23,820 --> 01:42:26,820
The outfield moves around a little bit to the right.
1602
01:42:26,820 --> 01:42:27,820
Schumacher's getting his time again.
1603
01:42:27,820 --> 01:42:28,820
Here's the next pitch.
1604
01:42:28,820 --> 01:42:31,820
Geringer swings at the ground ball to the right of Terry.
1605
01:42:31,820 --> 01:42:36,820
Second baseman Billy Geringer goes along to the right field, and the winner Bosnick coming along.
1606
01:42:36,820 --> 01:42:43,820
The third base falls down between second and third, but gets up covered with dirt and gets to third base baseman.
1607
01:42:43,820 --> 01:42:45,820
It's all a hit.
1608
01:42:45,820 --> 01:42:46,820
It was a hit by Geringer.
1609
01:42:46,820 --> 01:42:50,820
A ball that just hit the ground, hit pretty hard between first and second.
1610
01:42:50,820 --> 01:42:55,820
Bill Terry couldn't reach it, and Billy Herman came over fast running for third base back in the grass.
1611
01:42:55,820 --> 01:42:57,820
Made a great play for the ball, but he couldn't stop it.
1612
01:42:57,820 --> 01:43:01,820
And the American League has runners on first and third.
1613
01:43:01,820 --> 01:43:09,820
Runners on first and third with two gone, and the next man to come up is Columbia Luke Gering.
1614
01:43:09,820 --> 01:43:12,820
Here's Geringer, left-handed batter.
1615
01:43:12,820 --> 01:43:16,820
He hit into a fourth play the first time, and the second time he bounced out to Billy Herman.
1616
01:43:16,820 --> 01:43:22,820
He's outing now with two gone, the last half of the fifth inning, and runners on first and third.
1617
01:43:22,820 --> 01:43:31,820
First pitch is low for the ball, ball one.
1618
01:43:31,820 --> 01:43:35,820
Great crowd seeing a great game out here today in Cleveland.
1619
01:43:35,820 --> 01:43:37,820
Pitch is getting his time.
1620
01:43:37,820 --> 01:43:39,820
Gauze his arms up in front of him.
1621
01:43:39,820 --> 01:43:43,820
Here comes the next pitch to Gering with the fastball low into the dirt.
1622
01:43:43,820 --> 01:43:45,820
Lose who went down to stop that one.
1623
01:43:45,820 --> 01:43:50,820
It's ball two now for Luke.
1624
01:43:50,820 --> 01:43:52,820
Al Schumacher is the second pitcher for the American League.
1625
01:43:52,820 --> 01:43:54,820
Walker's got it.
1626
01:43:54,820 --> 01:44:02,820
Gomez is pitched all the way for the American League.
1627
01:44:02,820 --> 01:44:04,820
Again the pitcher's getting his time.
1628
01:44:04,820 --> 01:44:07,820
Keep an eye on the runners on first and third.
1629
01:44:07,820 --> 01:44:11,820
Here's the next pitch to Gering, and Gering swings and misses.
1630
01:44:11,820 --> 01:44:15,820
Gives the curve ball in close at the knee, and the count is ball two and strike one.
1631
01:44:15,820 --> 01:44:18,820
Two and strike.
1632
01:44:18,820 --> 01:44:20,820
Back to the leagueers out there on the infield.
1633
01:44:20,820 --> 01:44:23,820
Walker's shot words of encouragement to Schumacher.
1634
01:44:23,820 --> 01:44:26,820
The American League has runners on first and third with two gone.
1635
01:44:26,820 --> 01:44:28,820
Here's the next pitch to Gering.
1636
01:44:28,820 --> 01:44:33,820
Fastball is low for a third ball, and the count is three and one.
1637
01:44:33,820 --> 01:44:40,820
The next man to come up will be Jimmy Fox.
1638
01:44:40,820 --> 01:44:47,820
Man on first and a man on third, Gering batting with a count, ball three and strike one.
1639
01:44:47,820 --> 01:44:50,820
The pitcher's getting his time again.
1640
01:44:50,820 --> 01:44:58,820
Here's the next one, and it's outside, ball four, filling the bases.
1641
01:44:58,820 --> 01:45:03,820
Here's Gering gets a pass, filling the bases, and it brings up Jimmy Fox.
1642
01:45:03,820 --> 01:45:06,820
Getting a big hand from the crowd.
1643
01:45:06,820 --> 01:45:08,820
Fox did a home run the first time.
1644
01:45:08,820 --> 01:45:11,820
The second time he struck out.
1645
01:45:11,820 --> 01:45:13,820
The right-handed hitter.
1646
01:45:13,820 --> 01:45:18,820
Up in the batter's box now with American League runners on first, second, and third.
1647
01:45:18,820 --> 01:45:24,820
Three men on the bases, two out.

Jimmy Fox, Jimmy Curry comes over to talk to Schumacher.

01:45:29,820 --> 01:45:32,820
The outfielders move around a little bit to the left.
1650
01:45:32,820 --> 01:45:37,820
Berger is playing deep in left center.
1651

01:45:43,820 --> 01:45:47,820
The swing's hard for the first one and misses his first strike.
1655
01:45:47,820 --> 01:45:50,820
Fox's going to the fastball right over the plate, waist-high, and misses.

A beauty at strike two called on Fox.
1661
01:46:06,820 --> 01:46:11,820
National League is warming up Derringer in the bullpen in left field.
1662
01:46:11,820 --> 01:46:17,820

Here's the next pitch and it's outside a ball trying to make him go after a bad one.
1666
01:46:24,820 --> 01:46:26,820
Schumacher tried one outside and low.
1667
01:46:26,820 --> 01:46:30,820

Here's the next pitch.
1673
01:46:40,820 --> 01:46:43,820
Outside and low and Wolfsmeister at the ground.
1674
01:46:43,820 --> 01:46:44,820
The night stops.
1675
01:46:44,820 --> 01:46:54,820
That was a wild pitch way outside and low and they catch her at the dive down and out to the right to get the ball and he came up with it and the count is two and two.
1676
01:46:54,820 --> 01:46:58,820

It was a ground ball right through the box.
1684
01:47:18,820 --> 01:47:19,820
The pitchers slowed it down.
1685
01:47:19,820 --> 01:47:26,820
Pepper Martin came running over to pick up the ball but by the time he got to it he wasn't able to make a play any place and it's a hit.
1686
01:47:26,820 --> 01:47:29,820
It scores a run and the American League is leading four to one.
1687
01:47:29,820 --> 01:47:33,820
That was a hard smash on the ground right back at Schumacher.
1688
01:47:33,820 --> 01:47:37,820
It just seemed to sort of hand pump him and the ball got away and rolled a few feet behind him.
1689
01:47:37,820 --> 01:47:40,820
Pepper Martin came over fast to pick up the ball but it was too late to make a play.
1690
01:47:40,820 --> 01:47:50,820
The bases are still filled and a run scores.

01:48:37,820 --> 01:48:43,820

Here's the next pitch.
1706
01:48:45,820 --> 01:48:52,820
Outside, just a little bit outside at the knee, makes it ball two and strike one for Johnson.
1707
01:48:52,820 --> 01:48:56,820
He's the left fielder of the American League team.
1708
01:48:56,820 --> 01:49:02,820
National Leaguers are warming up Geringer, the great pitcher of the Cincinnati Reds.
1709
01:49:02,820 --> 01:49:05,820
Down there along the left field line.
1710
01:49:05,820 --> 01:49:07,820
Three men on.
1711
01:49:07,820 --> 01:49:11,820

Ball two and strike two.
1715
01:49:27,820 --> 01:49:29,820
Schumacher stands on the mound, draws his arms up over his head.
1716
01:49:29,820 --> 01:49:30,820
He's ready.
1717
01:49:30,820 --> 01:49:31,820
Here's the pitch.
1718
01:49:31,820 --> 01:49:32,820
Fast ball and he's struck out.
1719
01:49:32,820 --> 01:49:37,820
He was right over the plate in there around his knees and Johnson took a hard swing at the ball and missed it striking out.

01:50:02,820 --> 01:50:05,820
All the action that time was after two outs.
1726

At the end of the fifth inning and now we're going into the first half of the sixth inning of this all-star game at Seasons, Ohio.

01:52:08,820 --> 01:52:11,820
He gets that one foul.

01:52:51,820 --> 01:52:53,820
Right up there in the homerun parade.
1764
01:52:53,820 --> 01:52:55,820
The next pitch he hits hard, a fly ball into right center.
1765
01:52:55,820 --> 01:52:59,820
Al Simmons is over, he's under it and he has the ball for the first out.
1766
01:52:59,820 --> 01:53:03,820
Millot hit a fly ball into right center field and Al Simmons takes it for the first out.
1767
01:53:03,820 --> 01:53:05,820
One's on.
1768
01:53:05,820 --> 01:53:17,820
Next man to come up is Medwik.
1769
01:53:17,820 --> 01:53:19,820
Here's Medwik up at the plate, a right-handed batter.
1770
01:53:19,820 --> 01:53:25,820
He struck out the first time and he walked the second time.
1771
01:53:25,820 --> 01:53:27,820
Batting now with a teammate on first.
1772
01:53:27,820 --> 01:53:37,820
Like Vaughn the first one, came in close just below the shoulder and he swung hard and missed it.
1773
01:53:37,820 --> 01:53:39,820
Center is edging off of first base.
1774
01:53:39,820 --> 01:53:43,820
Here's the next pitch, low and in close for the ball.
1775
01:53:43,820 --> 01:53:47,820
That was a fast ball, right in close to Medwik.
1776
01:53:47,820 --> 01:53:51,820
A gray and red uniform for St. Louis Cardinals.
1777
01:53:51,820 --> 01:53:55,820
Here's the next pitch, there's a high foul going up into the upper deck back of first.
1778
01:53:55,820 --> 01:54:03,820
An account of ball one and strike two for Medwik.
1779
01:54:03,820 --> 01:54:07,820
Man on first base, Archie Vaughn, one gone in the first half of the sixth.
1780
01:54:07,820 --> 01:54:13,820
The score, the American League four, the National League one.
1781
01:54:13,820 --> 01:54:23,820
Next pitch, comes in very close, backs out of the way.
1782
01:54:23,820 --> 01:54:26,820
An account of two and two on Medwik.
1783
01:54:26,820 --> 01:54:34,820
The umpire major first wants to look over the ball, calls to Gomez and throws the ball in to major first and then he OKs it and throws the track.
1784
01:54:34,820 --> 01:54:37,820
A runner on first base, an account of two and two on Medwik.
1785
01:54:37,820 --> 01:54:40,820
Pitch is getting a sign again, here's the next one.
1786
01:54:40,820 --> 01:54:46,820
Inside, too close for a ball, makes it fall free, three and two now.
1787
01:54:46,820 --> 01:54:51,820
American League is talking up out there in the infield.
1788
01:54:51,820 --> 01:54:56,820
Again Gomez is getting a sign, there goes the runner down on hits and runs play and the batter fouls it on the ground, back of the plate.
1789
01:54:56,820 --> 01:54:58,820
And Vaughn is coming back from second to first.
1790
01:54:58,820 --> 01:55:01,820
It was the old hits and runs that time.
1791
01:55:01,820 --> 01:55:05,820
The runner starting for second base with the pitch and Medwik swung hard and fouled it.
1792
01:55:05,820 --> 01:55:14,820
The count is still three and two, one gone.
1793
01:55:14,820 --> 01:55:19,820
Gomez looks down at the catcher, Raleigh Hemsley getting his sign.
1794
01:55:19,820 --> 01:55:23,820
He throws the ball over to first base trying to pick the ball off but he jumps back out of the bag safely.
1795
01:55:23,820 --> 01:55:27,820
Fox third, Cronin short, Geringer second, Gehrig first.
1796
01:55:27,820 --> 01:55:29,820
Here's the next pitch.
1797
01:55:29,820 --> 01:55:36,820
There's a high foul which is coming up here into the upper deck off a little bit to our left.
1798
01:55:36,820 --> 01:55:46,820
Another scramble for a baseball souvenir.
1799
01:55:46,820 --> 01:55:49,820
Vaughn who was on his way to second is again back at first.
1800
01:55:49,820 --> 01:55:52,820
Three and two count on Medwik, a man on first base.
1801
01:55:52,820 --> 01:55:56,820
Here's the pitch, there he goes down again, there's a high fly into right field.
1802
01:55:56,820 --> 01:56:00,820
Bosnik is under it and should get it easily, he has it for the second off.
1803
01:56:00,820 --> 01:56:03,820
Medwik hit a high fly into right field which is taken by Bosnik.
1804
01:56:03,820 --> 01:56:08,820
Luke's only just a foot or two out there to get under it and there's two gone.
1805
01:56:08,820 --> 01:56:10,820
Next man to come up is Bill Terry.
1806
01:56:10,820 --> 01:56:17,820
He's been up twice and has made one hit.
1807
01:56:17,820 --> 01:56:20,820
Terry flight out to left field the first time, the second time.
1808
01:56:20,820 --> 01:56:25,820
Flash to hit into center field to drive in a run.
1809
01:56:25,820 --> 01:56:29,820
Here's the first pitch, a little bit outside at the waist for a ball.
1810
01:56:29,820 --> 01:56:30,820
Ball one.
1811
01:56:30,820 --> 01:56:33,820
Gomez is pitched all the way for the American League.
1812
01:56:33,820 --> 01:56:37,820
Walker and Schumacher have handled the pitching for the Nationals.
1813
01:56:37,820 --> 01:56:41,820
The American League is leading by a score of 4-1.
1814
01:56:41,820 --> 01:56:44,820
The National League is at that in the first half of the sixth.
1815
01:56:44,820 --> 01:56:49,820
Next pitch is Lowell inside for a ball, makes it ball two for Bill.
1816
01:56:49,820 --> 01:56:53,820
Next man to come up will be Wally Berger.
1817
01:56:53,820 --> 01:56:55,820
This is getting ready again, here's the next one.
1818
01:56:55,820 --> 01:56:56,820
He hit the ground ball back at the pitcher.
1819
01:56:56,820 --> 01:56:58,820
He puts his glove up but can't get it.
1820
01:56:58,820 --> 01:57:02,820
But the ball goes right out through the box towards second base and Gerringer picks it up.
1821
01:57:02,820 --> 01:57:05,820
Steps on second base and forces Vaughn to retire the side.
1822
01:57:05,820 --> 01:57:11,820
It was a ground ball which the pitcher slowed up but not enough to prevent the ball from keeping right on going out towards second.
1823
01:57:11,820 --> 01:57:18,820
Charlie Gerringer picks it up, steps on second base and Vaughn is out coming down from first to second to retire the side.
1824
01:57:18,820 --> 01:57:25,820
It's the end of the first half of the sixth inning, no runs and no hits.
1825
01:57:25,820 --> 01:57:29,820
It was one pass in that first half of the sixth inning.
1826
01:57:29,820 --> 01:57:36,820
Now the game is going into the last half of the sixth.

1830
01:57:49,820 --> 01:57:55,820
Breaking into the all-star lineup now of the National League at first base in place of Bill Terry.
1831
01:57:55,820 --> 01:58:01,820
First man to bat for the American League in the last half of the sixth inning is the center fielder Al Simmons.
1832
01:58:01,820 --> 01:58:09,820
He's hit up twice and has made one hit an infield hit.
1833
01:58:09,820 --> 01:58:13,820

Waist high and it's two strikes now for Al.
1842
01:58:38,820 --> 01:58:42,820
Nobody on and nobody out in the last half of the sixth.

Strike three.
1847
01:59:05,820 --> 01:59:10,820
Al Simmons swung all the way around and missed the ball, striking up.
1848
01:59:10,820 --> 01:59:14,820

1863
02:00:04,820 --> 02:00:07,820
Joe Vosmic, a rather odd, is going over fast.

the game being played in the huge municipal stadium at Cleveland, Ohio, is the American League Four, the National League One.
1870
02:00:36,820 --> 02:00:38,820
We pause now for station identification.
1871
02:00:38,820 --> 02:00:42,820
This is the mutual broadcasting system.
1872
02:00:42,820 --> 02:01:05,820
This is WGM, the Chicago Tribune station on the Drake Hotel.
1873
02:01:05,820 --> 02:01:09,820

1879
02:01:46,820 --> 02:01:51,820

02:02:14,820 --> 02:02:21,820
He's one of the unsung heroes of baseball, plays bang-up baseball for the New York Giants out there every day.
1886
02:02:21,820 --> 02:02:24,820
First pitch is right over a called strike for Joe.
1887
02:02:24,820 --> 02:02:27,820
Harder, a right-hander, is pitching.
1888
02:02:27,820 --> 02:02:33,820
Joe is not the sensational type of player that's in the public eye so much, but he's a real, steady, first-rate performer.
1889
02:02:33,820 --> 02:02:35,820
A great player.
1890
02:02:35,820 --> 02:02:37,820
Here's the wind-up in the next pitch for Joe Moore.
1891
02:02:37,820 --> 02:02:40,820

Here comes the wind-up in the first pitch for Bill.
1903
02:03:27,820 --> 02:03:31,820
The ball hits his bat as he flies it back away, goes out to the pitcher and he's an easy out.
1904
02:03:31,820 --> 02:03:33,820
Harder to Gary.
1905
02:03:33,820 --> 02:03:36,820
Billy Herman tried to back away from a pitch inside and high.
1906
02:03:36,820 --> 02:03:39,820

Here's the wind-up in the next pitch.
1920
02:04:30,820 --> 02:04:32,820
There's a fly ball down the right field line.
1921
02:04:32,820 --> 02:04:33,820
I don't think anybody can get to it.
1922
02:04:33,820 --> 02:04:34,820
It's dropping for a hit.
1923
02:04:34,820 --> 02:04:36,820

just inside the right field foul line.
1928
02:04:48,820 --> 02:04:52,820
Lou Gehrig, the first baseman, and the right fielder Bogmick chased the ball.
1929
02:04:52,820 --> 02:04:59,820
Bogmick picks it up, got it back into the infield, and it's a two-base hit for Wilton.

He's out in the bag at second.

02:05:56,820 --> 02:05:59,820

The power in the side.
1973
02:07:11,820 --> 02:07:13,820
And Whitehead is left on the base.
1974
02:07:13,820 --> 02:07:17,820
At the end of the first half of the seventh inning,

Walking in from the left field bullpen.

02:07:44,820 --> 02:07:49,820
Geringer's won 11 games and lost seven this year to Cincinnati.
1982
02:07:49,820 --> 02:07:56,820
The number he started his Major League career in the National League with the St. Louis Cardinals.
1983
02:07:56,820 --> 02:07:59,820
Al Chumacher allowed four hits.
1984
02:07:59,820 --> 02:08:07,820
He issued one pass and he struck out five in five innings.
1985
02:08:07,820 --> 02:08:10,820

1986
02:08:10,820 --> 02:08:14,820
He allowed four hits.
1987
02:08:14,820 --> 02:08:17,820
That's been four innings rather.

1991
02:08:27,820 --> 02:08:33,820

Geringer is doing the pitching.
1999
02:09:13,820 --> 02:09:19,820
The crowd gave the announcer a bit of a bonk cheer when he inadvertently said that the pitcher was from New York,
2000
02:09:19,820 --> 02:09:24,820
Paul Geringer, but it's all in fun and he corrects himself and says that he's from Cincinnati.
2001
02:09:24,820 --> 02:09:28,820
Paul Geringer, the right hander, is doing the pitching.
2002

2010
02:09:49,820 --> 02:09:51,820
There's nobody on and nobody off.
2011
02:09:51,820 --> 02:09:53,820
Geringer's winding up again.
2012
02:09:53,820 --> 02:09:55,820
Here comes the next pitch.
2013
02:09:55,820 --> 02:10:03,820
It's a strike right across his knees over the outside corner and it's called strike two.

2015
02:10:06,820 --> 02:10:09,820
Geringer's a tall fellow, stands about six feet two.
2016
02:10:09,820 --> 02:10:10,820
He's winding up.
2017
02:10:10,820 --> 02:10:14,820
He hits the harder and he swings with a fastball and strikes out.
2018
02:10:14,820 --> 02:10:22,820
Geringer struck out harder and got the last half of the seventh.
2019
02:10:22,820 --> 02:10:23,820
Here's Joe Bosnik.
2020
02:10:23,820 --> 02:10:25,820
He's been up three times and has made one hit.
2021
02:10:25,820 --> 02:10:31,820
He's single to right the last time up.
2022
02:10:31,820 --> 02:10:34,820

2023
02:10:34,820 --> 02:10:37,820
He's the regular left fielder for the Cleveland Club.
2024
02:10:37,820 --> 02:10:39,820
Batting 342 this year.
2025
02:10:39,820 --> 02:10:46,820
Geringer's ready to pitch to him, the first one, and it's a strike shoulder high over the outside corner.
2026
02:10:46,820 --> 02:10:51,820
Strike one is called.
2027
02:10:51,820 --> 02:10:55,820
Marquis Vaughn, the shortstop, and Billy Herman, the second baseman playing back for this fellow.
2028
02:10:55,820 --> 02:10:57,820
He hits that ball hard.
2029
02:10:57,820 --> 02:11:02,820
Next pitch, a fastball a little bit outside and it's ball one and strike one.
2030
02:11:02,820 --> 02:11:08,820
Gabby Hartner is catching and Geringer is out in the last half of the seventh.
2031
02:11:08,820 --> 02:11:11,820
Ball gets a sign again from Gabby.
2032
02:11:11,820 --> 02:11:13,820
He comes to wind up in the next pitch.
2033
02:11:13,820 --> 02:11:17,820
He follows it right over near the American League dugout.
2034
02:11:17,820 --> 02:11:21,820
Hits him in front of the railing and several of the customers in the front row lean over,
2035
02:11:21,820 --> 02:11:27,820
try to pick up the ball, and two of them lose their straw hat.
2036
02:11:27,820 --> 02:11:32,820
Ball gets a laugh.
2037
02:11:32,820 --> 02:11:36,820
Jimmy Fox did a home run today, you know, in the first inning with the man on.
2038
02:11:36,820 --> 02:11:38,820
Osnick gets the ground ball back at Billy Herman.
2039
02:11:38,820 --> 02:11:41,820
He comes in fast, gets it on a big bounce over the first base and he's out.
2040
02:11:41,820 --> 02:11:48,820
Billy Herman to Collins, one gone, or rather two gone.
2041
02:11:48,820 --> 02:11:50,820
Next man to come up is Charlie Geringer.
2042
02:11:50,820 --> 02:11:55,820
He walked the first time, he bounced out the second time, and the third time he singled a right.
2043
02:11:55,820 --> 02:12:02,820
He's up now for the fourth time with two gone in the last half of the seventh.
2044
02:12:02,820 --> 02:12:05,820
Ball Geringer's getting his sign.
2045
02:12:05,820 --> 02:12:06,820
Here's the windup on the pitch.
2046
02:12:06,820 --> 02:12:13,820
He swings hard at the fast ball inside at the waist and hits a foul, like one.
2047
02:12:13,820 --> 02:12:18,820
Another new ball is tossed out to Geringer and he takes his glove off, picks up the rousing bag,
2048
02:12:18,820 --> 02:12:22,820
rides his hands off thoroughly and opportunities to rub the ball up a bit.
2049
02:12:22,820 --> 02:12:23,820
Here's the windup in the next pitch.
2050
02:12:23,820 --> 02:12:28,820
It's a fast ball and he hits a long foul into the lower boxers down the left field line.
2051
02:12:28,820 --> 02:12:32,820
Peppermarkin starts to go back there fast, sees that he hasn't a chance for the ball,
2052
02:12:32,820 --> 02:12:35,820
and now comes back to third.
2053
02:12:35,820 --> 02:12:47,820
It's two strikes for Charlie Geringer, batting with two gone and nobody on the bases.
2054
02:12:47,820 --> 02:12:50,820
Pitch is getting his sign again.
2055
02:12:50,820 --> 02:12:52,820
There's the windup and here's the next pitch.
2056
02:12:52,820 --> 02:12:55,820
It's a fast ball and he hits it right up this way.
2057
02:12:55,820 --> 02:12:58,820
Just dropped here below it.
2058
02:12:58,820 --> 02:13:00,820
Two strikes.
2059
02:13:00,820 --> 02:13:02,820
Well, I almost had a souvenir myself.
2060
02:13:02,820 --> 02:13:11,820
That comes just a little bit closer.
2061
02:13:11,820 --> 02:13:14,820
Here comes the windup in the next pitch.
2062
02:13:14,820 --> 02:13:18,820
Breaks in a little bit low and it's a ball.
2063
02:13:18,820 --> 02:13:21,820
Left hand hitter, Geringer batting.
2064
02:13:21,820 --> 02:13:26,820
Ball one and strike two for Charlie.
2065
02:13:26,820 --> 02:13:30,820
Geringer's a very refreshment.
2066
02:13:30,820 --> 02:13:33,820
They're swinging their way up and down the aisles.
2067
02:13:33,820 --> 02:13:35,820
Comes the windup in the next pitch, not a Geringer.
2068
02:13:35,820 --> 02:13:40,820
It's a fast ball and he bouts it way down the right field line, but foul into the boxers.
2069
02:13:40,820 --> 02:13:43,820
Geringer hits that ball hard, but foul down the right field line.
2070
02:13:43,820 --> 02:13:49,820
Another new ball is tossed out to Geringer.
2071
02:13:49,820 --> 02:13:55,820
Geringer is the batter.
2072
02:13:55,820 --> 02:13:59,820
All Geringer's getting his time again.
2073
02:13:59,820 --> 02:14:01,820
Here comes the windup in the next pitch.
2074
02:14:01,820 --> 02:14:05,820
Fast ball and he hits it foul up into the upper deck back at third.
2075
02:14:05,820 --> 02:14:12,820
Ball one and strike two.
2076
02:14:12,820 --> 02:14:17,820
One of the boys down there on the field brings a loose fly of baseballs up to umpire major service.
2077
02:14:17,820 --> 02:14:20,820
Filling the pockets of his blue shirt suit now.
2078
02:14:20,820 --> 02:14:22,820
One and two is the count on Charlie.
2079
02:14:22,820 --> 02:14:26,820
Here's the windup again in the next pitch.
2080
02:14:26,820 --> 02:14:31,820
Ball and he fouls it back at the plate into the screen this time and the count is still one and two.
2081
02:14:31,820 --> 02:14:38,820
Nobody on the bases, two gone, the last half of the seventh inning, the American League leading by a sort of four to one.
2082
02:14:38,820 --> 02:14:47,820
The all-star game being played in Cleveland, Ohio, here on the shores of Lake Erie in this giant stadium.
2083
02:14:47,820 --> 02:14:49,820
Here's the windup in the next pitch.
2084
02:14:49,820 --> 02:14:52,820
A slow ball and Geringer hits it high into the air.
2085
02:14:52,820 --> 02:14:55,820
First baseman is a liner, jumped up and tried to get it but he couldn't.
2086
02:14:55,820 --> 02:14:59,820
The goal passed into the right field and Geringer is at second base.
2087
02:14:59,820 --> 02:15:02,820
It was a liner right over the first baseman's head.
2088
02:15:02,820 --> 02:15:06,820
Hollins leaps into the air, cuts the ball with his glove and slowed it down a bit.
2089
02:15:06,820 --> 02:15:09,820
It rolled out into right field and it's a two-base hit.
2090
02:15:09,820 --> 02:15:11,820
Geringer kept right on going to second base.
2091
02:15:11,820 --> 02:15:15,820
Hollins slowed the ball up so much that he had to chase it and get the ball.
2092
02:15:15,820 --> 02:15:17,820
He got it before Melott got in.
2093
02:15:17,820 --> 02:15:22,820
He's got a second base with two off now and the next man to come up is Lou Gering.
2094
02:15:22,820 --> 02:15:30,820
That's the second hit for Geringer today.
2095
02:15:30,820 --> 02:15:34,820
Now the next man to come up is Lou Gering.
2096
02:15:34,820 --> 02:15:36,820
The man on second and two gone.
2097
02:15:36,820 --> 02:15:41,820
First pitch is a tight call.
2098
02:15:41,820 --> 02:15:46,820
Jimmy Fox and Geringer have each made two hits today.
2099
02:15:46,820 --> 02:15:47,820
Paul Geringer's getting his sign.
2100
02:15:47,820 --> 02:15:49,820
Here's the next one to Gering.
2101
02:15:49,820 --> 02:15:50,820
Inside a little bit close.
2102
02:15:50,820 --> 02:15:52,820
Ball one and strike one.
2103
02:15:52,820 --> 02:15:56,820
One and one.
2104
02:15:56,820 --> 02:16:01,820
National League team talks it up out there in the infield.
2105
02:16:01,820 --> 02:16:06,820
The American League is leading by a score of four to one.
2106
02:16:06,820 --> 02:16:08,820
Paul Geringer's getting his sign again.
2107
02:16:08,820 --> 02:16:09,820
Here's the next pitch to Gering.
2108
02:16:09,820 --> 02:16:13,820
Fast ball inside and back slow away from the plate to keep from being hit.
2109
02:16:13,820 --> 02:16:18,820
On the count of ball two and strike one.
2110
02:16:18,820 --> 02:16:24,820
Golly Geringer out on second.
2111
02:16:24,820 --> 02:16:25,820
Geringer gets his sign again.
2112
02:16:25,820 --> 02:16:26,820
Here's the next pitch to Gering.
2113
02:16:26,820 --> 02:16:29,820
And he hits a long fly way back in the right center field.
2114
02:16:29,820 --> 02:16:35,820
The center fielder, Moore, is going back fast and he grabs the ball to retire the side.
2115
02:16:35,820 --> 02:16:38,820
Lou Gering, slam one way out into right center field.
2116
02:16:38,820 --> 02:16:42,820
And Moore, who you remember about it from Berger last inning and then went into center field,
2117
02:16:42,820 --> 02:16:46,820
goes back very fast and pulls the ball down to retire the side.
2118
02:16:46,820 --> 02:16:48,820
One man is left on the bases.
2119
02:16:48,820 --> 02:16:57,820
No runs and one hit.
2120
02:16:57,820 --> 02:17:02,820
That was a smash of over 400 feet, about 425 feet, way out in the right center field.
2121
02:17:02,820 --> 02:17:08,820
And a pull down by Joe Moore to retire the side.
2122
02:17:08,820 --> 02:17:10,820
No runs and one hit.
2123
02:17:10,820 --> 02:17:14,820
Moore is getting a nice hand from the crowd as he comes in along fast third base
2124
02:17:14,820 --> 02:17:18,820
toward the National League dugout.
2125
02:17:18,820 --> 02:17:28,820
Great Jerome Dixie Dean is starting to warm up in the bullpen in left field.
2126
02:17:28,820 --> 02:17:33,820
Well, we're going into the first half of the eighth inning and the first man to bat for the National League
2127
02:17:33,820 --> 02:17:34,820
in a couple of months.
2128
02:17:34,820 --> 02:17:41,820
Dean is getting a big hand from the crowd out there along the left field power line.
2129
02:17:41,820 --> 02:17:47,820
The famous pitcher of the St. Louis Cardinals is getting a big hand from the crowd.
2130
02:17:47,820 --> 02:17:50,820
The score is the American League four, the National League one,
2131
02:17:50,820 --> 02:17:53,820
and we're going into the first half of the eighth inning.
2132
02:17:53,820 --> 02:17:57,820
Mel Hodder is pitching for the American League and Peppermark in the third baseman
2133
02:17:57,820 --> 02:18:02,820
is going to be the first man up.
2134
02:18:02,820 --> 02:18:10,820
Here's Mel Hodder, limb right-hander out there on the mound.
2135
02:18:10,820 --> 02:18:15,820
Dixie Dean was warming up standing over the left field power line in fair territory
2136
02:18:15,820 --> 02:18:20,820
and umpire arms the motions to him to get over the line back into foul territory
2137
02:18:20,820 --> 02:18:23,820
and off the playing field proper.
2138
02:18:23,820 --> 02:18:29,820
Pepper has made one hit today in the first pitch of the strike right over the plate at goal.
2139
02:18:29,820 --> 02:18:33,820
Martin single the first time up and then struck out the next two times at fast.
2140
02:18:33,820 --> 02:18:35,820
Dolly Dressen is poking down here at third.
2141
02:18:35,820 --> 02:18:38,820
Dolly Grim of the Cubs is over to first.
2142
02:18:38,820 --> 02:18:40,820
Here's the wind up in the next pitch to Pepper.
2143
02:18:40,820 --> 02:18:42,820
He hits the ground ball off toward the shortstop.
2144
02:18:42,820 --> 02:18:44,820
Joe Cronin's in fast on the ball, gets it over to first base
2145
02:18:44,820 --> 02:18:48,820
and he's out at first base on a close play and boy how he can run.
2146
02:18:48,820 --> 02:18:52,820
Joe Cronin to Gehrig and Martin is out at first.
2147
02:18:52,820 --> 02:18:59,820
Here's the next man to come up at the shortstop, Aki Vaughan.
2148
02:18:59,820 --> 02:19:01,820
Vaughan's right out to left field the first time,
2149
02:19:01,820 --> 02:19:05,820
second time he's doubled in the right center and the third time he walks.
2150
02:19:05,820 --> 02:19:07,820
Starting now with one gone in the first half of the eighth.
2151
02:19:07,820 --> 02:19:09,820
Mel Hodder's getting his sign.
2152
02:19:09,820 --> 02:19:12,820
Here's the pitch and it's in low and in close.
2153
02:19:12,820 --> 02:19:14,820
Forces the left-hand hitter away from the plate.
2154
02:19:14,820 --> 02:19:16,820
Ball one.
2155
02:19:16,820 --> 02:19:18,820
Boy's talking up out there in the infield.
2156
02:19:18,820 --> 02:19:23,820
He's got a lot of power on both sides today.
2157
02:19:23,820 --> 02:19:24,820
Here comes the next pitch.
2158
02:19:24,820 --> 02:19:26,820
Fast ball, he hits it hard to the ground off to Cronin.
2159
02:19:26,820 --> 02:19:28,820
He's up with the ball, it goes over to first base
2160
02:19:28,820 --> 02:19:30,820
and he's out on a close play.
2161
02:19:30,820 --> 02:19:33,820
That was real close at first base.
2162
02:19:33,820 --> 02:19:35,820
The play went from Cronin to Gehrig.
2163
02:19:35,820 --> 02:19:40,820
Two gone.
2164
02:19:40,820 --> 02:19:44,820
Next man to come up is Mel Hodder, right fielder, left-handed batter.
2165
02:19:44,820 --> 02:19:48,820
Two out of nobody on the bases in the first half of the eighth.
2166
02:19:48,820 --> 02:19:54,820
Both teams have plenty of the old hustle and the old fighting spirit out here today.
2167
02:19:54,820 --> 02:19:58,820
Here's the windup in the pitch to Mel.
2168
02:19:58,820 --> 02:20:04,820
Forces the old left leg up a little bit and that's characteristic batting wave is up there at the plate,
2169
02:20:04,820 --> 02:20:05,820
but he did his swing of the ball.
2170
02:20:05,820 --> 02:20:08,820
That was a little bit outside.
2171
02:20:08,820 --> 02:20:09,820
Here comes the windup in the next pitch.
2172
02:20:09,820 --> 02:20:17,820
The slow ball and not fast and hard, way back but foul down the right field line.
2173
02:20:17,820 --> 02:20:22,820
That was a wallop way down the right field line, but it was foul.
2174
02:20:22,820 --> 02:20:34,820
In the American League bullpen, schoolboy roll, the great pitcher of the Tigers, is warming up.
2175
02:20:34,820 --> 02:20:37,820
Schoolboy roll and lefty goal, the warming up on the bullpen.
2176
02:20:37,820 --> 02:20:40,820
In the National League bullpen, Dizzy Dean is warming up.
2177
02:20:40,820 --> 02:20:46,820
Next pitch to Mel and he swings hard, misses the ball, and strikes up.
2178
02:20:46,820 --> 02:20:50,820
Mel Hod went down on strike to retire the side.
2179
02:20:50,820 --> 02:20:55,820
He swung at a fast inside around his knees and struck out at a three up and three down.
2180
02:20:55,820 --> 02:20:58,820
No runs, no hits, and no errors.
2181
02:20:58,820 --> 02:21:00,820
Now the American League team is coming off the field.
2182
02:21:00,820 --> 02:21:04,820
The National League team is going out of the field from the third base side of the infield.
2183
02:21:04,820 --> 02:21:16,820
And here comes Jerome Dizzy Dean.
2184
02:21:16,820 --> 02:21:20,820
The game is going into the last half of the eighth inning, ladies and gentlemen, at Cleveland, Ohio.
2185
02:21:20,820 --> 02:21:27,820
And Dean, Jerome Dizzy Dean, is coming into pitch now for the National League All-Stars.
2186
02:21:27,820 --> 02:21:29,820
Derringer fits one inning.
2187
02:21:29,820 --> 02:21:32,820
He allows one hit and he struck out one.
2188
02:21:32,820 --> 02:21:34,820
Paul Derringer fits just one inning.
2189
02:21:34,820 --> 02:21:37,820
And now Dizzy Dean is coming in from the bullpen and left feet.
2190
02:21:37,820 --> 02:21:40,820
We're going to pause now for station identification.
2191
02:21:40,820 --> 02:21:50,820
This is the mutual broadcasting system.
2192
02:21:50,820 --> 02:21:58,820
This is WGM, the Chicago Tribune Station on the Drake Hotel.
2193
02:21:58,820 --> 02:22:01,820
Now we're going into the last half of the eighth inning.
2194
02:22:01,820 --> 02:22:07,820
Dizzy Dean, the call right-hander, out there on the mound.
2195
02:22:07,820 --> 02:22:09,820
Whipping over the cue to the catcher.
2196
02:22:09,820 --> 02:22:13,820
First man to face him will be Jimmy Fox.
2197
02:22:13,820 --> 02:22:17,820
Dean has won 12 games and lost six this year for the Cardinals.
2198
02:22:17,820 --> 02:22:26,820
He's one of the most colorful figures in baseball today.
2199
02:22:26,820 --> 02:22:34,820
He's just a little bit erratic at times as far as settlement concerns, but no one can deny he's a great pitcher.
2200
02:22:34,820 --> 02:22:35,820
Cover marking.
2201
02:22:35,820 --> 02:22:38,820
Team-mate of the St. Louis Cardinals comes over to toss the dizz.
2202
02:22:38,820 --> 02:22:41,820
Tops the ball up front for him and then tosses it to him.
2203
02:22:41,820 --> 02:22:44,820
Jimmy Fox in the meantime steps into the batter's box.
2204
02:22:44,820 --> 02:22:47,820
Gabby Hartnett, the National League catcher, pulls his mask down over his face,
2205
02:22:47,820 --> 02:22:51,820
gets down the back of the batter, and the last half of the eighth inning is underway.
2206
02:22:51,820 --> 02:22:55,820
The score, the American League four, the National League one.
2207
02:22:55,820 --> 02:22:58,820
The first pitch to Fox is a fastball, low and outside.
2208
02:22:58,820 --> 02:23:01,820
Ball one.
2209
02:23:01,820 --> 02:23:06,820
Medwick in left field, Moore in center field, Nellard in right.
2210
02:23:06,820 --> 02:23:09,820
Here's the windup in the next pitch and he swings hard with a fastball,
2211
02:23:09,820 --> 02:23:12,820
way high and missed it, and the count is ball one and strike one.
2212
02:23:12,820 --> 02:23:15,820
One and one.
2213
02:23:15,820 --> 02:23:17,820
Dizzy Dean pitching for the National League now.
2214
02:23:17,820 --> 02:23:19,820
The last half of the eighth.
2215
02:23:19,820 --> 02:23:20,820
Fox is the first man up.
2216
02:23:20,820 --> 02:23:22,820
He's made two hits today.
2217
02:23:22,820 --> 02:23:25,820
Next pitch is right down the middle at the tall strike.
2218
02:23:25,820 --> 02:23:33,820
That was a beauty and the count is one and two.
2219
02:23:33,820 --> 02:23:36,820
Here's the next pitch, outside for a ball.
2220
02:23:36,820 --> 02:23:38,820
Fox did a home run the first time up.
2221
02:23:38,820 --> 02:23:44,820
He struck out the second time and the third time he singled off the pitcher's glove.
2222
02:23:44,820 --> 02:23:47,820
Ball two and strike two for Fox.
2223
02:23:47,820 --> 02:23:48,820
Dizzy's winding up again.
2224
02:23:48,820 --> 02:23:51,820
Here's the next pitch, a fastball that's high and outside.
2225
02:23:51,820 --> 02:23:59,820
Ball three now, three and two for Fox.
2226
02:23:59,820 --> 02:24:02,820
National League infielders talk it up out there.
2227
02:24:02,820 --> 02:24:10,820
They come to wind up in the next pitch, inside and high, and Fox hits a fast.
2228
02:24:10,820 --> 02:24:13,820
Jimmy Fox draws a fast to start the last half of the eighth inning.
2229
02:24:13,820 --> 02:24:16,820
The next man to come up is the best fielder of the American League team,
2230
02:24:16,820 --> 02:24:24,820
Bob Johnson of Philadelphia.
2231
02:24:24,820 --> 02:24:28,820
Here he is up at the plate, right-handed batter.
2232
02:24:28,820 --> 02:24:31,820
A man on first, nobody out in the last half of the eighth inning,
2233
02:24:31,820 --> 02:24:33,820
and a right-hand hitter up at the plate.
2234
02:24:33,820 --> 02:24:36,820
First pitch inside, a little bit close there for the ball.
2235
02:24:36,820 --> 02:24:39,820
Ball one.
2236
02:24:39,820 --> 02:24:44,820
Dell Baker coaching at third for the American League and Roger Thornsby at first.
2237
02:24:44,820 --> 02:24:47,820
He's backing it up, facing up and down on the Foxes there.
2238
02:24:47,820 --> 02:24:53,820
Here's the next pitch, inside and low for the ball, makes it ball two.
2239
02:24:53,820 --> 02:25:00,820
Two and nothing now as it counts for Johnson, batting with Fox on first.
2240
02:25:00,820 --> 02:25:04,820
Dean gets his sign again.
2241
02:25:04,820 --> 02:25:10,820
Here's the next pitch, hits a ball inside and high, and the count is three and nothing.
2242
02:25:10,820 --> 02:25:14,820
Here's Collins, the first baseman comes over to talk to Diz.
2243
02:25:14,820 --> 02:25:17,820
Gabby Hartman walks out in front of the plate, rubs the ball up in his hands
2244
02:25:17,820 --> 02:25:19,820
and says something to the pitcher.
2245
02:25:19,820 --> 02:25:25,820
Collins is over now, standing in the pitcher's circle talking to Dean.
2246
02:25:25,820 --> 02:25:28,820
Diz has his glove off and he rubs the ball around in his hands a bit.
2247
02:25:28,820 --> 02:25:30,820
There's Collins going back to first.
2248
02:25:30,820 --> 02:25:32,820
Fox is on first, remember, there's nobody out.
2249
02:25:32,820 --> 02:25:34,820
It's the last half of the eighth.
2250
02:25:34,820 --> 02:25:38,820
Johnson is up and the American League is leading four to one.
2251
02:25:38,820 --> 02:25:42,820
Here's the next pitch, a strike over the inside corner right above his knees,
2252
02:25:42,820 --> 02:25:47,820
and the count is ball three and strike one.
2253
02:25:47,820 --> 02:25:54,820
Johnson steps out of the batter's box, drives his hands off carefully.
2254
02:25:54,820 --> 02:25:56,820
Now he's getting ready again.
2255
02:25:56,820 --> 02:26:00,820
There's a foul ball on the ground down the right field line.
2256
02:26:00,820 --> 02:26:02,820
Ball three and strike two.
2257
02:26:02,820 --> 02:26:06,820
One of the fans jumped over the railing and got out of the field,
2258
02:26:06,820 --> 02:26:13,820
got a foul ball and then over the railing into the box deep.
2259
02:26:13,820 --> 02:26:19,820
He wanted a souvenir of this great game and he has it now.
2260
02:26:19,820 --> 02:26:22,820
This is getting his sign again.
2261
02:26:22,820 --> 02:26:25,820
He turns and throws the ball over to first base trying to pick the runner off,
2262
02:26:25,820 --> 02:26:29,820
but he's back in the bag safely.
2263
02:26:29,820 --> 02:26:31,820
Ball three and strike two.
2264
02:26:31,820 --> 02:26:35,820
Another quick throw over to first base and the runner hustles to get back in the bag.
2265
02:26:35,820 --> 02:26:38,820
Another quick throw by Dean trying to pick Fox off of first base,
2266
02:26:38,820 --> 02:26:40,820
but he's back on there safely.
2267
02:26:40,820 --> 02:26:43,820
Jimmy's not taking a very long lead off.
2268
02:26:43,820 --> 02:26:45,820
Dean has a count of three and two on Johnson.
2269
02:26:45,820 --> 02:26:46,820
Here's the pitch.
2270
02:26:46,820 --> 02:26:48,820
There goes the runner down at the foul, hits down the first base line
2271
02:26:48,820 --> 02:26:51,820
past the coach at first base, Hornsby, who stuck out his hand
2272
02:26:51,820 --> 02:26:55,820
to try to stop the ball but couldn't get it, and rolls along the right field line.
2273
02:26:55,820 --> 02:26:58,820
Fox who is on his way to second base is now coming back to first,
2274
02:26:58,820 --> 02:27:03,820
and the count is still three and two on Johnson.
2275
02:27:03,820 --> 02:27:10,820
The American League gets that in the last half of the eighth.
2276
02:27:10,820 --> 02:27:15,820
American League score two in the first, one in the second, and one in the fifth.
2277
02:27:15,820 --> 02:27:19,820
American League scored their one in the fourth.
2278
02:27:19,820 --> 02:27:22,820
Jimmy takes a lot of time out there.
2279
02:27:22,820 --> 02:27:25,820
He keeps watching the man on first base over his shoulder,
2280
02:27:25,820 --> 02:27:28,820
and the batter gets impatient, so he steps out of the batter's box now
2281
02:27:28,820 --> 02:27:31,820
to kill a little time on his own account.
2282
02:27:31,820 --> 02:27:34,820
Nobody out of the man on first.
2283
02:27:34,820 --> 02:27:42,820
Two runner down, and he fouls another one up into the upper deck.
2284
02:27:42,820 --> 02:27:45,820
Well, a lady caught that one.
2285
02:27:45,820 --> 02:27:52,820
She gets a nice hand from the crowd up here.
2286
02:27:52,820 --> 02:27:55,820
Right-handed hitter, top of the plate, Bob Johnson,
2287
02:27:55,820 --> 02:27:57,820
with a count of three and two on it.
2288
02:27:57,820 --> 02:28:00,820
A man on first base, and nobody out.
2289
02:28:00,820 --> 02:28:02,820
Dizzy Dean is getting his time.
2290
02:28:02,820 --> 02:28:04,820
Here's the next pitch, a fastball, and he's struck out.
2291
02:28:04,820 --> 02:28:06,820
It was right in around his knees.
2292
02:28:06,820 --> 02:28:10,820
A fastball right around his knees, and Johnson's struck out for the first out.
2293
02:28:10,820 --> 02:28:15,820
Swings up Al Simmons.
2294
02:28:15,820 --> 02:28:18,820
Johnson was struck out three times today.
2295
02:28:18,820 --> 02:28:21,820
He's right out the first time. He's struck out the next three times.
2296
02:28:21,820 --> 02:28:22,820
Here's Simmons up.
2297
02:28:22,820 --> 02:28:25,820
He's struck out the first time, singled the second time,
2298
02:28:25,820 --> 02:28:32,820
and he's struck out the third time.
2299
02:28:32,820 --> 02:28:34,820
A man on first with one out, and Al Simmons up at the plate.
2300
02:28:34,820 --> 02:28:40,820
He's made one hit.
2301
02:28:40,820 --> 02:28:42,820
Nine American League batters have gone down on strikes.
2302
02:28:42,820 --> 02:28:45,820
The first pitch is inside and high.
2303
02:28:45,820 --> 02:28:51,820
Nine American League batters have gone down on strikes.
2304
02:28:51,820 --> 02:28:55,820
It's six to nine, the run over on first base.
2305
02:28:55,820 --> 02:28:57,820
Five National League batters have struck out.
2306
02:28:57,820 --> 02:29:02,820
Simmons flams a long one down the right field line, but it's foul.
2307
02:29:02,820 --> 02:29:05,820
Bob starts to serve on second base.
2308
02:29:05,820 --> 02:29:08,820
Al Simmons got a hold of the ball and gave it a long ride down the right field line,
2309
02:29:08,820 --> 02:29:13,820
but it goes foul into the boxes, and the count is one and one for Al.
2310
02:29:13,820 --> 02:29:17,820
Dizzy Dean pulls with his belt, pulls his cap down firmly on his head,
2311
02:29:17,820 --> 02:29:19,820
kicks the dirt around a bit out there in the pitcher circle.
2312
02:29:19,820 --> 02:29:21,820
Now he's ready.
2313
02:29:21,820 --> 02:29:23,820
Runner on first base is taking a short lead.
2314
02:29:23,820 --> 02:29:26,820
The next pitch, Simmons hits the ball up into the upper deck to the right,
2315
02:29:26,820 --> 02:29:32,820
and the count is one and two for Al.
2316
02:29:32,820 --> 02:29:35,820
Simmons has made one hit today.
2317
02:29:35,820 --> 02:29:39,820
The umpire back of the plate is calling for a new supply of baseballs.
2318
02:29:39,820 --> 02:29:44,820
One of the bad boys brings them over to him.
2319
02:29:44,820 --> 02:29:46,820
Dean has a count of one and two on Simmons.
2320
02:29:46,820 --> 02:29:49,820
The next pitch he hits hard way down the right field line.
2321
02:29:49,820 --> 02:29:51,820
It's going back, back, back.
2322
02:29:51,820 --> 02:29:53,820
It hits the wall in right field.
2323
02:29:53,820 --> 02:29:55,820
Here's Fox coming around third base.
2324
02:29:55,820 --> 02:29:57,820
Al Simmons pulls up at second.
2325
02:29:57,820 --> 02:29:58,820
It's a double.
2326
02:29:58,820 --> 02:30:03,820
Fox came around third base, but the coach at third base, Del Baker, held him up.
2327
02:30:03,820 --> 02:30:08,820
It's a two-base hit for Al Simmons right down the right field line.
2328
02:30:08,820 --> 02:30:09,820
That's two hits for Al today.
2329
02:30:09,820 --> 02:30:14,820
It was a double right down the right field line, and there are runners now on second and third.
2330
02:30:14,820 --> 02:30:15,820
One gone.
2331
02:30:15,820 --> 02:30:17,820
Next man to come up is the catcher, Raleigh Hemsley,
2332
02:30:17,820 --> 02:30:25,820
and the National League infield draws in close for the possible play and view of the play.
2333
02:30:25,820 --> 02:30:29,820
Al Simmons hit a double off the right field fence.
2334
02:30:29,820 --> 02:30:31,820
Here's Raleigh Hemsley up.
2335
02:30:31,820 --> 02:30:33,820
He's been up three times and has made one hit.
2336
02:30:33,820 --> 02:30:36,820
First pitch he hits fouled on the first baseline.
2337
02:30:36,820 --> 02:30:37,820
It's like one.
2338
02:30:37,820 --> 02:30:41,820
The infield is playing in close.
2339
02:30:41,820 --> 02:30:42,820
There's the same fellow.
2340
02:30:42,820 --> 02:30:44,820
Comes over the railing again and gets another foul ball.
2341
02:30:44,820 --> 02:30:50,820
He'll be distributing souvenirs himself pretty soon.
2342
02:30:50,820 --> 02:30:52,820
Now the next pitcher is the ground ball to the shortstop.
2343
02:30:52,820 --> 02:30:54,820
He comes in fast, gets the ball into the plate.
2344
02:30:54,820 --> 02:30:58,820
They caught Fox now between the plate and third base, and they're running it back toward third.
2345
02:30:58,820 --> 02:31:03,820
Gabby Hartnett tags him.
2346
02:31:03,820 --> 02:31:07,820
Al Simmons and Fox are both standing on the bag here at third base.
2347
02:31:07,820 --> 02:31:10,820
Hemsley is on first.
2348
02:31:10,820 --> 02:31:15,820
And Jimmy Fox was back on the bag when Gabby tagged him, and he tagged both Simmons and Fox.
2349
02:31:15,820 --> 02:31:18,820
Fox is entitled on the bag, and Al Simmons is out.
2350
02:31:18,820 --> 02:31:21,820
So there's two going.
2351
02:31:21,820 --> 02:31:26,820
Al Simmons figured that Fox was going to be caught between the plate and third base.
2352
02:31:26,820 --> 02:31:29,820
Hartnett ran him all the way back to third base, and Simmons was down to the bag too,
2353
02:31:29,820 --> 02:31:33,820
and both runners were on the bag, so Gabby made sure and tagged them both.
2354
02:31:33,820 --> 02:31:34,820
Al Simmons is out.
2355
02:31:34,820 --> 02:31:36,820
Fox was back on the bag, and he was entitled to it.
2356
02:31:36,820 --> 02:31:40,820
There's two going now, and the American League has runners on first and third.
2357
02:31:40,820 --> 02:31:47,820
The man to come up is Joe Corn.
2358
02:31:47,820 --> 02:31:51,820
Scored that as a fielder's choice for the batter for Raleigh Hemsley, who's on first.
2359
02:31:51,820 --> 02:31:55,820
There's a foul, a long smash way back up into the upper deck.
2360
02:31:55,820 --> 02:31:58,820
Down the right field line, it's strike one.
2361
02:31:58,820 --> 02:32:00,820
Another new ball that's tossed out to Dizzy Dean.
2362
02:32:00,820 --> 02:32:03,820
The American League is batting in the last half of the eighth inning.
2363
02:32:03,820 --> 02:32:07,820
They're leading by a score of 4-1, and they have two men on the bases with two going.
2364
02:32:07,820 --> 02:32:10,820
Dean is pitching off with a National League guard.
2365
02:32:10,820 --> 02:32:12,820
Now he's ready.
2366
02:32:12,820 --> 02:32:17,820
A slow ball comes in a little bit low for the ball, and the count is 1-1 for Joe.
2367
02:32:17,820 --> 02:32:19,820
Corn has been up three times.
2368
02:32:19,820 --> 02:32:20,820
He's flied out the first time.
2369
02:32:20,820 --> 02:32:25,820
He's struck out the second time, and he's flied out the third time.
2370
02:32:25,820 --> 02:32:29,820
Uppermark is talking it up over there at third.
2371
02:32:29,820 --> 02:32:33,820
Dizzy is getting his sign again. Here's the next one.
2372
02:32:33,820 --> 02:32:35,820
Fastball inside, up around his head.
2373
02:32:35,820 --> 02:32:41,820
Coeman falls out of the way in a hurry.
2374
02:32:41,820 --> 02:32:46,820
The last half of the eighth inning.
2375
02:32:46,820 --> 02:32:49,820
Dean is getting his sign now.
2376
02:32:49,820 --> 02:32:57,820
The next pitch comes in close, shoulder high for a ball, and the count is 3-1 for Joe.
2377
02:32:57,820 --> 02:33:01,820
Strike one.
2378
02:33:01,820 --> 02:33:10,820
The American League has used two pitchers today, Gomez and Harding.
2379
02:33:10,820 --> 02:33:12,820
Now the pitcher gets ready.
2380
02:33:12,820 --> 02:33:13,820
Here's the next one.
2381
02:33:13,820 --> 02:33:16,820
Coeman swings hard and fouls the ball off of Gabby's mass.
2382
02:33:16,820 --> 02:33:17,820
The count is 3-2.
2383
02:33:17,820 --> 02:33:20,820
That was a fastball right down the middle.
2384
02:33:20,820 --> 02:33:23,820
Coeman swung hard and fouled the ball off of Hartnett's mass.
2385
02:33:23,820 --> 02:33:31,820
The umpire throws another new ball into play.
2386
02:33:31,820 --> 02:33:36,820
The National League has used four pitchers today, Walker, Schumacher, Geringer, and Dean.
2387
02:33:36,820 --> 02:33:39,820
The American League, Gomez and Harding.
2388
02:33:39,820 --> 02:33:42,820
Fourth National League pitcher is on the mound now, Dizzy Dean.
2389
02:33:42,820 --> 02:33:46,820
He has a count of 3-2 on the batter, two outs, runners on first and third.
2390
02:33:46,820 --> 02:33:48,820
The pitch hits one hard down the left-field line.
2391
02:33:48,820 --> 02:33:51,820
I think it's going foul. It is foul.
2392
02:33:51,820 --> 02:33:54,820
Coeman hit one hard down the left-field line and the ball went foul.
2393
02:33:54,820 --> 02:34:06,820
And the count is still 3-2 for Joe.
2394
02:34:06,820 --> 02:34:14,820
Next year, you know, the National League will have the choice of the city in which the All-Star Game will be played.
2395
02:34:14,820 --> 02:34:19,820
First game was played in Chicago in 1933, the second game in New York last year in 34,
2396
02:34:19,820 --> 02:34:24,820
and the third game we're watching here today in Cleveland, Ohio.
2397
02:34:24,820 --> 02:34:29,820
Here's the next pitch. Joe hit the high foul, which is coming up into the upper deck off here to our right.
2398
02:34:29,820 --> 02:34:35,820
Ball three and strike two.
2399
02:34:35,820 --> 02:34:45,820
Somebody's got to lean over the railing to catch that ball after it bobs around in three or four hands.
2400
02:34:45,820 --> 02:34:53,820
One of the boys working up on the press box off here to our right caught it.
2401
02:34:53,820 --> 02:34:57,820
Here's the next pitch. There's a foul up into the upper deck again off to the right.
2402

The count is still 3-2.
2403
02:35:02,820 --> 02:35:09,820

02:35:13,820 --> 02:35:18,820

2406
02:35:18,820 --> 02:35:23,820
Here's the next pitch to Cronen. It's a slow pitch down the third base line. It's foul.
2407
02:35:23,820 --> 02:35:28,820
Pepper Martin comes over the bag and outside the foul line to get the ball, but it gets past him,
2408
02:35:28,820 --> 02:35:31,820
and Major Kerr throws a new ball down the third base line,
2409
02:35:31,820 --> 02:35:36,820
and Pepper starts to rough the old ball up before giving it back to D.
2410
02:35:36,820 --> 02:35:45,820
The 3-2 count on Joe Cronen and the American League has runners on first and third.
2411
02:35:45,820 --> 02:35:50,820
It takes a lot of time out there getting ready again.
2412
02:35:50,820 --> 02:36:03,820
Here's the next pitch. There's a hock.
2413
02:36:03,820 --> 02:36:07,820
Huck stop caught it over near third base.
2414
02:36:07,820 --> 02:36:14,820
Martin just stood there watching him grab it, and he retires aside, and runners are left on first and third.
2415
02:36:14,820 --> 02:36:21,820
The American League made no runs and one hit.
2416
02:36:21,820 --> 02:36:24,820
No runs and one hit.
2417
02:36:24,820 --> 02:36:28,820
Now the game is going into the first half of the ninth inning.
2418
02:36:28,820 --> 02:36:31,820
The American League is going onto the field. The National League is coming to bat,
2419
02:36:31,820 --> 02:36:39,820
and they're going to make three runs, score is 4-1.
2420
02:36:39,820 --> 02:36:42,820

2432
02:38:17,820 --> 02:38:19,820
First pitch is in low and close, 4-1.
2433
02:38:19,820 --> 02:38:26,820
Some harder. Nobody on and nobody out. It's the first half of the night.
2434
02:38:26,820 --> 02:38:32,820
Medwick up. He has made a hit yesterday.

2443
02:39:17,820 --> 02:39:24,820
The count is 2-2 for Medwick.
2444
02:39:24,820 --> 02:39:31,820
Al Harder gets a new ball out there, takes his love off, wraps it up in his hands a bit, getting some of the shine off it.
2445
02:39:31,820 --> 02:39:34,820
National League batting in the first half of the ninth.
2446
02:39:34,820 --> 02:39:36,820
Al Harder is winding up again.
2447
02:39:36,820 --> 02:39:40,820
Here's the next pitch. There's a high foul over near the American League dugout.
2448
02:39:40,820 --> 02:39:45,820
The first baseman, Gary, is coming over fast, fast. He's under the ball and he has it for the first down.
2449
02:39:45,820 --> 02:39:48,820
Medwick fouled out to Gary for the first down.
2450
02:39:48,820 --> 02:39:51,820
Next man to come up is the first baseman, Rip Coller.
2451
02:39:51,820 --> 02:40:01,820
He's in the first base in place of Perry, a left-handed batter.
2452
02:40:01,820 --> 02:40:05,820
Here's Collins up at the plate, a great hitter, a left-handed batter.
2453
02:40:05,820 --> 02:40:11,820
Boys near the American League infield talking up out there.
2454
02:40:11,820 --> 02:40:16,820
Here's the windup in the first pitch to Rip, a left-handed batter, and it's outside at the waist for a ball.
2455
02:40:16,820 --> 02:40:24,820
Ball one, nobody on, one gone in the first half of the ninth.
2456
02:40:24,820 --> 02:40:27,820
Here's the windup in the next pitch. He hits the ground ball down the first baseline.
2457
02:40:27,820 --> 02:40:31,820
Gary has it, comes over to first base, and he's out to Gary unassisted.
2458
02:40:31,820 --> 02:40:42,820
It is a ground ball, but Gary picked up and stepped on first base, and Collins is out to Gary unassisted.
2459
02:40:42,820 --> 02:40:45,820
Next man to come up is Moore.
2460
02:40:45,820 --> 02:40:47,820
Here he comes up to the plate.
2461
02:40:47,820 --> 02:40:52,820
Proud is starting to head for the exits now, figuring it's just about over.
2462
02:40:52,820 --> 02:40:56,820
Mel Harder seems to have the situation well in hand here in the ninth inning,
2463
02:40:56,820 --> 02:40:59,820
but you never can tell until the last man is out.
2464
02:40:59,820 --> 02:41:03,820
Yo Moore is up.
2465
02:41:03,820 --> 02:41:09,820
Here comes the windup on the pitch, and it's a strike right over the plate, knee high, and it's called.
2466
02:41:09,820 --> 02:41:11,820
Had a left-handed batter.
2467
02:41:11,820 --> 02:41:14,820
Nobody on and two gone in the first half of the ninth inning.
2468
02:41:14,820 --> 02:41:17,820
Certainly hates to see this great game drawing to a close.
2469
02:41:17,820 --> 02:41:20,820
Here's the next pitch as a ground ball between first and second.
2470
02:41:20,820 --> 02:41:27,820
Geringer's up with it, over to first. The game is over, and the American League wins 4-1.
2471
02:41:27,820 --> 02:41:32,820
He hit a hard smash on the ground between first and second.
2472
02:41:32,820 --> 02:41:35,820
The second baseman, Geringer, came up with the ball and threw him out.
2473
02:41:35,820 --> 02:41:42,820
Geringer to Gary, and it retires the side. No runs, no hits, and no errors.
2474
02:41:42,820 --> 02:41:50,820
So the American League, ladies and gentlemen, is victorious in the third of the annual All-Star Games.
2475
02:41:50,820 --> 02:41:53,820
Played, started, you'll remember, in 1933.
2476
02:41:53,820 --> 02:41:59,820
First game was played in Chicago and last year in New York and this year in Cleveland, Ohio,
2477
02:41:59,820 --> 02:42:03,820
and the American League wins the game by a score of 4-1.
2478
02:42:03,820 --> 02:42:12,820
For the American League, four runs, eight hits, and no errors.
2479
02:42:12,820 --> 02:42:20,820
For the National League, one run, four hits, and one error.
2480
02:42:20,820 --> 02:42:23,820
American League, four runs, eight hits, and no errors.
2481
02:42:23,820 --> 02:42:27,820
National League, one run, four hits, and one error.
2482
02:42:27,820 --> 02:42:37,820
The crowd, heading out of the huge stadium, coming and running across the outfield and heading for the infield.
2483
02:42:37,820 --> 02:42:40,820
Heading for all the exit waves out here.
2484
02:42:40,820 --> 02:42:45,820
And now I want to turn the microphone over to fellow Sander Pyle,
2485
02:42:45,820 --> 02:42:49,820
who has very kindly assisted me in the broadcast today of the All-Star Game,
2486
02:42:49,820 --> 02:42:54,820
who has all the statistics and all the dope for you, and he'll give you his resume right now.
2487
02:42:54,820 --> 02:43:08,820
For the afternoon, of course, was asked on by the American League players,
2488
02:43:08,820 --> 02:43:12,820
who held a very heavy-hitting battery of National League.
2489
02:43:12,820 --> 02:43:34,820
The National League has had four pitches on the mound.
2490
02:43:34,820 --> 02:43:38,820
Bill Walker opened, gave two hits and two runs in the two innings he pitched.
2491
02:43:38,820 --> 02:43:44,820
Hal Shoemaker followed, Schumacher followed, gave four hits, struck out five men,
2492
02:43:44,820 --> 02:43:53,820
and permitted no runs, and Paul Deringer followed, giving one hit, one struck out, struck out one man.
2493
02:43:53,820 --> 02:43:59,820
Paul Dean, Jerome Dean, Jerome Dean, Dizzy the Great, Dizzy Dean, ended the game,
2494
02:43:59,820 --> 02:44:05,820
pitching the last inning for the National Leagueers, and passed one man, gave one hit, and struck one man out.
2495
02:44:05,820 --> 02:44:09,820
The runs batted in, Pots was a star in this stage of the game.
2496
02:44:09,820 --> 02:44:12,820
He batted in three of the four runs scored by the American League.
2497
02:44:12,820 --> 02:44:14,820
Joe Cronin batted in the fourth.
2498
02:44:14,820 --> 02:44:18,820
Bill Terry, the first baseman of the New York Giants, the New York Giants manager,
2499
02:44:18,820 --> 02:44:22,820
batted in the only run made by the National League this afternoon.
2500
02:44:22,820 --> 02:44:26,820
That's on bases, the American League had seven, the National League four.
2501
02:44:26,820 --> 02:44:31,820
The stolen bases, just one stolen base, that in the first inning by Pepe Martin of St. Louis.
2502
02:44:31,820 --> 02:44:34,820
He sold second base in the first inning.
2503
02:44:34,820 --> 02:44:39,820
That's on the first, Pepe Martin, an error in the fourth inning, which permitted no damage to be done.
2504
02:44:39,820 --> 02:45:05,820
The scoreboard, one by Martin.
2505
02:45:09,820 --> 02:45:21,820
The ball game, the runs, the American League coming in the first inning,
2506
02:45:21,820 --> 02:45:28,820
Gehringer walked, Gehrig forced him a second, a home run, followed by Jimmy Fox, going the first two runs.
2507
02:45:28,820 --> 02:45:33,820
With one out on the second inning, Hemsley, triple, scored on Cronin's long fly to center.
2508
02:45:33,820 --> 02:45:35,820
Score then three to nothing.
2509
02:45:35,820 --> 02:45:39,820
And then the fourth American League run came in the fifth inning.
2510
02:45:39,820 --> 02:45:45,820
At that time, Schumacher was pitching with two men out, two hits to base on balls, filled the bases,
2511
02:45:45,820 --> 02:45:52,820
and then Jimmy Fox smashed the single off Schumacher's glove, which scored the fourth and final American League run.
2512
02:45:52,820 --> 02:45:56,820
In the National League, the one run scored came in the fourth inning.
2513
02:45:56,820 --> 02:46:02,820
Cronin opened with a double, and Hock popped up, Medwick walked, putting runners on first and second.
2514
02:46:02,820 --> 02:46:06,820
And Bill Terry drove a single to left, bringing in the National League run.
2515
02:46:06,820 --> 02:46:11,820
The score, four to one, and the summaries again, American League, four runs, eight hits, and no errors.
2516
02:46:11,820 --> 02:46:14,820
The National League, one run, four hits, and one error.
2517
02:46:14,820 --> 02:46:19,820
A finely played game, a grand game for everybody here, and here's Bob Elson.
2518
02:46:19,820 --> 02:46:21,820
Thank you very much, Ellis.
2519
02:46:21,820 --> 02:46:26,820
We just heard Alexander Plow give you his resume, all the dope in this great ball game,
2520
02:46:26,820 --> 02:46:32,820
which we've watched here today with over 80,000 people in this great municipal stadium at Cleveland, Ohio.
2521
02:46:32,820 --> 02:46:36,820
He told you the American League is victorious again for the third successive year,
2522
02:46:36,820 --> 02:46:40,820
winning a fine ball game today by a score of four to one.
2523
02:46:40,820 --> 02:46:43,820
Hock says a mighty tough ball game for the National League to lose.
2524
02:46:43,820 --> 02:46:47,820
Somebody has to win and somebody has to lose, and the National League at heart
2525
02:46:47,820 --> 02:46:49,820
are going to be disappointed again for the third time.
2526
02:46:49,820 --> 02:46:53,820
But next year is another year, and I hope we'll all see the, or hear the ball game,
2527
02:46:53,820 --> 02:46:57,820
which will be played next year, the fourth annual All-Star game.
2528
02:46:57,820 --> 02:47:02,820
As we told you before, the National League next year will have the choice of the city,
2529
02:47:02,820 --> 02:47:06,820
and that site will be determined, I imagine, in six or seven months.
2530
02:47:06,820 --> 02:47:09,820
Well, we certainly hope you enjoyed the ball game, ladies and gentlemen.
2531
02:47:09,820 --> 02:47:15,820
We've had the pleasure of watching and bringing to you from here in this stadium at Cleveland, Ohio.
2532
02:47:15,820 --> 02:47:19,820
I want to say goodbye now for the announcer who's assisted me on the broadcast,
2533
02:47:19,820 --> 02:47:23,820
Alex Vanderpyl of Cleveland, who I've had the pleasure of working with,
2534
02:47:23,820 --> 02:47:27,820
and I certainly hope that you've all enjoyed our broadcast.
2535
02:47:27,820 --> 02:47:30,820
And Bob Elston saying goodbye from the stadium at Cleveland, Ohio,
2536
02:47:30,820 --> 02:47:33,820
and bringing to close our broadcast of the All-Star game,
2537
02:47:33,820 --> 02:47:38,820
which came to you with a presentation of the Mutual Broadcasting System.
2538
02:47:38,820 --> 02:47:49,820
