00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:15,000
The fifth annual Major League Baseball All-Star game took place at Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, July 7, 1937.

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:27,000
The National League was sending the Cardinals' Dizzy Dean to the mound. Dean led the league in wins for two consecutive seasons, with 30 wins in 1934 and 28 in 1935, before dipping to 24 wins in 1936.

4
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:35,000
He entered the All-Star break with a 12-7 record. He was set to face the Yankees' Lefty Gomez, who entered this game with a 14-5 record.

5
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:43,000
The National League was managed by Giants manager Bill Terry. The Giants had won the pennant in 1936 with Terry as their manager and first baseman.

6
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Terry retired as a player after five seasons as player-manager and began 1937 with his entire focus on managing.

7
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:58,000
The American League was managed by Joe McCarthy, who led the Yankees to 102-win season and the eventual World Series title over the Giants in 1936.

8
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:04,000
This audio recording is from the Mutual Radio broadcast featuring announcers Bob Elson and Tony Wakeman.

9
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is Tony Wakeman speaking from Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C.

10
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Once more, baseball's greatest artists are assembled before us in the game in which in the short space of five years has become recognized as the outstanding contest of the National Fast Time.

11
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:31,000
No better testimonial to the success of this All-Star game can be offered than the enthusiasm of fans gathered here in Griffith Stadium this afternoon.

12
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,000
To them, the game is the culmination of a real fan's dream.

13
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Five years ago, we were suggesting that the hardest hitters, the swiftest pitchers, and the nimblest defensive men in the American League

14
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:49,000
to be matched against their rivals in the National on the same diamond on the same day would have been regarded as fantastic.

15
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:57,000
Yet today each of those stars is out there in the field and thanks to the officials of both leagues, the players and the fans.

16
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:10,000
The United States Army fans at the present time is occupying the space between the third base and the first base line and they are facing the President's Dock, the President of the United States.

17
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:20,000
We feel will arrive very shortly. The huge photographers have set up their cameras directly in front of the box, which is to the left of the Dock,

18
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:27,000
the Dock that occupied by the Washington Nationals when they are playing here at Griffith Stadium.

19
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:41,000
This afternoon, the representatives of the National League are occupying the post directly below it and incidentally, I want to explain the position which Bob Elston of WGN in Chicago and I occupy at the present time.

20
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:54,000
On the second tier, directly above the dugout of the visiting team here at the Griffith Stadium. This afternoon, that same dugout is being occupied by the representatives of the National League

21
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,000
and the American Leaguers are using the dugout of the Griff here at the stadium.

22
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Al Shack, a funny man of baseball, naturally is here this afternoon and any number of celebrities gathered here, Senators Tongasson and so forth, and we approximate the crowd at about 35,000.

23
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:21,000
A marvelous crowd. The stadium is packed to capacity.

24
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:37,000
The United States Army fans now, as one heavy member turns in the direction of the driveway, which is to the left of the dugout, the news camera men are now setting up, waiting,

25
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:44,000
and Judge Landis, High Commissioner of Baseball, and Dave Ruth are directing the ball to the right.

26
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Dave came into the ballpark this afternoon, sat down, pulled his shirt off, and then the autographed stickers came up, but the fave was here to enjoy a good game of baseball,

27
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000
and that's just what he's going to do.

28
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:03,000
And now Judge Landis and Dave Ruth, having a picture taken by the news photographers and the boys of the press.

29
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:15,000
The grand day here at Griffith Stadium, I'm in Washington, D.C. The temperature, about 92, we're right out in the sun, and it's a typical baseball day.

30
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Just a few moments ago, or I should say about 10 minutes ago, there were possibly 5,000 fans down on the field speaking autographs.

31
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Here's Dizzy Dean directly to the north, warming up for the national league.

32
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:35,000
And Dizzy Dean, you know, came into Washington last night by plane, we understand, with Dizzy.

33
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Had a plane ride from Chicago to St. Louis and then up here to Washington, and he did not arrange for a two-ticket, so you can imagine what he had to get through.

34
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:52,000
He started at 8 o'clock in the morning, and he didn't arrive in Washington until 8 minutes past 9.

35
00:04:52,000 --> 00:05:03,000
And well at first, we didn't know whether Dizzy was really going to appear in this All-Star game, but here he is, and at Brennan's batting average, for things right on time.

36
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,000
We want to mention the fact that each player wears his own uniform.

37
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:14,000
The national leaguers are wearing their uniform, which they don't when away from home.

38
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,000
And the American leaguers, I believe, are wearing their own uniform.

39
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,000
So we have a delamination of colors directly below us, every color imaginable.

40
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Bill Perry is now talking to us, and I believe they're discussing grounds rules.

41
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:37,000
There are no grounds rules this afternoon, that is, we don't have a crowd out in the field, no rules.

42
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,000
And Frankie Perch is down there talking things over with Perry.

43
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:53,000
And we're waiting for the president's car to pull into Griffith Stadium, toss out the first ball, and then it'll be play ball.

44
00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Say Bruce, greeted with Mr. Bruce, the lower San Juan right, is now ready to throw for the autographed creatures, and he will want to enjoy this ball game.

45
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Dizzy Dean, last night, at a marvelous time, there are 32,000 that voiced out to 35,000 here in the District of Columbia for their first national jamboree,

46
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,000
and Dizzy had about 10,000 around him wanting his autograph.

47
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:31,000
And we understand that right after this game is over, Dizzy will make an appearance at the camp, probably looking the thing over and talking to some of the boys.

48
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Now the photographers come over to take Dizzy's picture.

49
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:44,000
While he's warming up, and Frankie Perch, Dr. Medlund, tossing a ball around directly below us, the United States Army fans,

50
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:49,000
approximately 75 or 100 members in the fans, standing at attention.

51
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,000
They have been for the past 15 minutes or so.

52
00:06:53,000 --> 00:07:07,000
And on a guard of shouts, about 15 or 20 shouts, and then the President of the United States, in a large, black open fire, comes in,

53
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:15,000
removes his hat, and he's waving to the fans here, of course, the President of the United States, his baseball fan number one.

54
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:24,000
And he gazes up into the fans, waves, and then waves over towards the ball players. They're lined up from first to home.

55
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000
They've all removed their hats.

56
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:34,000
And the Boy Scouts move past the President's box.

57
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,000
The President will leave the car.

58
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Son James is with him and his military aide.

59
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:55,000
They're getting out of the car now, and then he'll take his position in the box, then toss out that ball, and we'll be off.

60
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:05,000
I again want to remind you that the play-by-play description of this game will be given by Bob Elson of WGN in Chicago.

61
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:13,000
They're still snapping away with their cameras over there on the far side of the field, the newsreel cameras grinding away,

62
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,000
and the President will probably toss out the ball.

63
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,000
The Vice President's honor has now joined the party.

64
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,000
The Scouts are leaving the box.

65
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,000
They had their pictures taken with the President of the United States.

66
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Now they're leaving.

67
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:44,000
And the baseball players are still standing at attention.

68
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:49,000
I believe Bob Elson has the official lineup for this afternoon and the batting orders.

69
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,000
We'll have it given to you very shortly.

70
00:08:52,000 --> 00:09:04,000
You'll notice that Bucky Newcomers again down there snapping with his camera.

71
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000
They're taking pictures of the President and the Scouts, but with him,

72
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:23,000
they march out through the flagpole and the raising of the flag.

73
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:38,000
They're still taking pictures of the President and the Batting Orders,

74
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:23,800
And now ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to turn the microphone over to Bob Elston.

75
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,000
Thank you very much Tony Wakeman.

76
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen.

77
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,000
I have been seated right alongside Tony Wakeman here while I'm giving you a very colorful

78
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
description of all that's happened out here.

79
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,000
The free game festivities through one of the outstanding sporting events in America,

80
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000
and that is the All-Star Game.

81
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Tony told you about the crowd, about the President's arrival, and about the celebrities down here.

82
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000
I'm going to tell you something about the lineup and also something about this ballpark

83
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,000
in about two minutes so that we have, so that we feel that you have a good picture of our

84
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,000
position out here in Washington right above third base to see this All-Star Game.

85
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,000
Right first is the official batting order lineup and there are several surprises.

86
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:07,000
For the National League, Paul Wehner is trained center field and leading off, or right field

87
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,000
and leading off.

88
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:13,000
And you must admit that a National League ball club that can have Paul Wehner as leadoff

89
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,000
man is a pretty husky ball club.

90
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Herman at second base, Chicago, Warren at third, Medwick in left, Demery in center,

91
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Meis at first, Harkness at catcher, Bartell at short, and Dean is going to do the pitching.

92
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,000
For the American League, it's Ross at third, Geringer second, DiMaggio in right field,

93
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Gary at first, Aberlyn in center, Krohlen at short, Dickey the catcher, and Sam West

94
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,000
of St. Louis is going to start and play for Foe Bell and is going to play in left field

95
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:49,000
with Vernon Gomez, the long, slender left-hander, picking Paul Wehner at American League.

96
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,000
The ballplayers are still grouped around in the semicircle here to our right between the

97
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:59,000
plate and first base in a salute to the president who has yet not thrown out the first ball.

98
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,000
He's going to throw it out and then I imagine there will be a mad scramble among the players

99
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
to get that base ball as a trophy.

100
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,000
Now a picture of this ballpark.

101
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Our position here, as we told you and as Tony told you, is right above third base.

102
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,000
We're looking directly into right field.

103
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Now there is no stand in right field.

104
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,000
It's a very high fence.

105
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,000
I imagine that fence is about 100 feet in the air.

106
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:23,000
There's a stand running along the first base line out of the playing field, a double deck

107
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,000
grandstand that circles around behind the plate.

108
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,000
We're in a portion of it here.

109
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,000
As we go down the left field line, we're right above third base.

110
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,000
And then we go down to the very end of the left field line where that line is met by

111
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,000
a feature.

112
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Now this feature is a single deck stand without a roof.

113
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,000
It extends from the left field corner all the way out into center field.

114
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Now just a few words about these ground rules here today so that you have an accurate picture

115
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,000
of just what happened.

116
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Now there's a very high fence, as we told you in right field, that extends all the way

117
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,000
into dead center field.

118
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,000
And there there's an amplifier on top of the fence and a short flagpole with a flag on

119
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,000
top.

120
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Now any ball that hits that fence in right field is a ball in play.

121
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:05,000
If a ball hits those amplifiers and goes inside and stays in at the home run, if a ball goes

122
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000
into the amplifiers and rolls out, it's in play.

123
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:13,000
If a ball goes any place, into the left field stand, stays in or bounces out, it's a home

124
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,000
run.

125
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Now we're going to be able to scramble for the ball here as the president throws the

126
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,000
first ball.

127
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,000
He has his right hand extended.

128
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Watch it now.

129
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,000
Now try to pick out the man that gets it for you.

130
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,000
All the players are grouped around.

131
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Let's see who gets it now, whether it's an American League or a National League player.

132
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,000
His arm is cloyed.

133
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,000
He's ready to throw it.

134
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,000
The photographers are banging away funny with their cameras.

135
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,000
There it goes, right into the center.

136
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,000
It's caught by an American leaguer.

137
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,000
They're still on the ground scrambling for it.

138
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,000
The ball was caught by Luke Searle on the wide shot.

139
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,000
He's got a very high fence.

140
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,000
He's got a very high fence.

141
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,000
He's got a very high fence.

142
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,000
He's got a very high fence.

143
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,000
He's got a very high fence.

144
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:44,000
He's got a very high fence.

145
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Luke Searle, the Chicago wide shot, caught the ball.

146
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,000
It was thrown by President Roosevelt.

147
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Searle is going into the American League dugout, which is over there back up first with his

148
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,000
trophy.

149
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,000
You can bet that he's a very happy young man.

150
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,000
The umpires today, the American League umpire, will start behind to play Joe McGahn.

151
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,000
That first base will be Bay Panam.

152
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:05,000
That second base will be Quinn of the American League.

153
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:10,000
And the third base will be George Parr of the National League.

154
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Here are all the National League players going back to their dugout right down here below

155
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,000
us.

156
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,000
A picture with all these different uniforms, different uniforms with gray and green, the

157
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Cardinals with gray and red, New York with gray and dark blue, the Cubs with gray and

158
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,000
blue and red.

159
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,000
There's Collins over there now.

160
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,000
The Cubs first.

161
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,000
The Cubs second.

162
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,000
The Cubs third.

163
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,000
The Cubs fourth.

164
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,000
The Cubs fifth.

165
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,000
The Cubs sixth.

166
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,000
The Cubs sixth.

167
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,680
students, the Cardinals with gray and green.

168
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,040
in his uniform and he's a camera fan and he's been getting some pictures too.

169
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,320
And we're all ready for the All-Star Game of 1937.

170
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,080
Running over now, before the umpires come out, what's happened in the previous games?

171
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,840
In 1933, the American League won at Chicago 4-2.

172
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,080
In 1934, the American League won at New York 9-4.

173
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,280
In 1935, the American League won at Cleveland 4-1.

174
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,640
We had the pleasure of broadcasting that game from the big municipal stadium

175
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,440
there on the lakefront at Cleveland that year.

176
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:02,560
Last year in 1936, the National League won by a score of 4-3 at Boston.

177
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,760
And what's going to happen in the year 1937 here in Washington?

178
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,160
We'll know more about that just about two hours from now.

179
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:09,440
Here the umpires coming out.

180
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,200
Judge Lamb is seated right down here below us.

181
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,920
Here the managers coming out, Joe McCaffee and Bill Terry.

182
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,640
McCaffee is manager by virtue of his winning American League tenant last year.

183
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,920
Terry is manager by virtue of his winning the National League tenant last year.

184
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:29,200
My associate here, Tony Wakeman and I, had the pleasure of broadcasting the World Series last year from New York.

185
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:35,200
We're all set now for the big game of the year, the All-Star Game of 1937 here in Washington.

186
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,640
And it's an ideal day.

187
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,720
They couldn't have picked out a more glorious day for a glorious ballgame than we have here today.

188
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,560
Everybody is seated around here in the stands above and below us with their coats off.

189
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:50,000
And everybody, of course, is expected now, waiting for this grand baseball classic to get underway.

190
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Archie Ward, the Gipsy Sports Editor of the Chicago Tribune, who was the originator of the first All-Star Game in 1933,

191
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,000
said a word of welcome through the public address system to the fans here.

192
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
He thanked Commissioner Landis.

193
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:12,000
He thanked President Ford Frick and President Will Harridge of the American League for their wholehearted cooperation in making this series of All-Star Games possible.

194
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:20,880
And Archie said in his closing words that he hopes that this series of All-Star Games between the stars of the National League and the stars of the American League will last forever.

195
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:26,000
And I'm sure that that same feeling and that same sentiment is echoed by the baseball fans of the nation.

196
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000
We have a grand day here today.

197
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,000
This will make this the fifth All-Star Game.

198
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:36,000
The series stands three games to one in favor of the American League.

199
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Now the umpires are down here around the home plate with the managers McCoffee and Terry and with their assistants.

200
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Burke and Fletcher for the American League and for the National League, Frankie Frisch and Jeff Haynes.

201
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Frankie Frisch and Charlie Dressen and Jeff Haynes.

202
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Jesse Haynes, who is the oldest player in the National League in point of service, was selected as honorary coach.

203
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:12,000
The active coaches will be at first and third, Frankie Frisch, the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, and Charlie Dressen, the manager of the Cincinnati Reds.

204
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:19,000
For the American League it will be Joe McCoffee's two assistants, Audie Fletcher and Jimmy Burke.

205
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Del Baker, the acting manager of the Detroit Tigers, was previously selected, but because of illness and because of the handicap that Detroit is trying to overcome now,

206
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:38,000
because of the absence of their manager Mickey Cochran, one of the most brilliant players in baseball history, asked to be excused and Burke was selected in his fifth.

207
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:47,000
This is a huge fence in right field. You know, Lou Gehrig hit, I believe it was 46 home runs last year and did not hit a home run in Washington.

208
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:54,000
That gives you an idea of this ballpark, just the size of it. It is not very large as far as the stand and the seating capacity is concerned.

209
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:03,000
As Tony said, they have 75,000 people in here. They could have put 60,000 people in this ballpark today because Washington is start mad as far as this All-Star game is concerned.

210
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:09,000
There's all sorts of enthusiasm and excitement about it, but the seating capacity of the stand is around 35,000 people.

211
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:18,000
There are no stands in right field. There is a stand in left field which extends all the way from the left field line to the center field wall.

212
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:28,000
I'm going to repeat the batting order for those of you who might be just tuning in. All-winner of Pittsburgh is in right field, Herman of the Cubs second,

213
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Orland of the Pirates third, Medwick of St. Louis left, Demarie of the Cubs in center, Mize of St. Louis at first,

214
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:40,000
Harknett of the Cubs catching, Bartell of New York at short, and Dean with 12-7 as the pitcher.

215
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:45,000
For the American League it's Ralph at third, Geringer second, DiMaggio in right, Gehrig at first,

216
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Averill in center, Polan at short, Dickey the catcher, West in left field, and Gomez the pitcher.

217
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:56,000
And now before the ballgame gets underway, we're going to pause very briefly for station identification.

218
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:04,000
You're listening to the broadcast of the All-Star game. The preliminaries here before the ballgame gets underway from Crispus Stadium here,

219
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,000
the nation's capital in Washington, D.C. This is the Mutual Broadcasting System.

220
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:15,000
This is WGM, a voice for the people of Chicago.

221
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Well, we're just waiting now for the umpires to signal play ball.

222
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:27,000
It sits back very comfortably now, ladies and gentlemen, and listen to the broadcast of the All-Star game here from Washington.

223
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:33,000
The umpires have gone around the place. There the American League players are going onto the field.

224
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:40,000
Of course, the home team, the home uniform of every team is white, and that's why the American League players,

225
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,000
even though they all have different uniforms in some respects, are all in white.

226
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,000
That is the general trend of their color of their uniforms.

227
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:53,000
The National League, because they're wearing visiting uniforms, are all in different colors.

228
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:58,000
There's Frisch going down to first, Coach at first, and here's Charlie Dressen coming over to Coach at third,

229
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:05,000
and here's the leadoff man, last year's National League batting champion Paul Wehner leading off.

230
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:13,000
That's one for the book. These clubs are so well stocked for hitters with so much punch on each side.

231
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:21,000
And here we have a man who's a natural three-, four-, or five-spot hitter on the lineup batting his leadoff man, Paul Wehner,

232
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:31,000
with an average of 385. I don't think, Tony, you'll ever see that again, a 400-hitter leading off.

233
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Well, it should be a grand game. It's a grand day, and I'm sure that you'll join us in echoing the sentiment,

234
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:45,000
may the best team win. Here's Gomez. Paul Wehner out there in the mound getting ready to pitch to Paul Wehner.

235
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,000
All set. Here's Rolfe of the Yankees down below at the third. There's Joe Cohen at short.

236
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,000
There's Charlie Geringer, one of the greatest players of all time at second.

237
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,000
And there's Larapin Luke-Gerrig, one of the outstanding players of all time at first.

238
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:05,000
In right field is Joe DiMaggio. In center field is Earl A. Burrell. And in left field is Sam West.

239
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Bill Dickey of the Yankees is the catcher, and Gomez is the pitcher. We're all set now for the first ball to be pitched.

240
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:16,000
McGowan is the umpire, the American league back of the plate. And here's Paul Wehner up the left-hander hitter.

241
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,000
Now we're getting all set. Gomez has his sign. He's ready now to wind up in the first pitch.

242
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,000
It's a fastball that's a little bit outside of the knee for the ball.

243
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:30,000
The umpire is moving the photographers away from the top of the plate, and the umpire says no.

244
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:35,000
This has been a field day for the boys with Babe Ruth, Judge Landis, the president, Will Harris,

245
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,000
Port Brick, and celebrities from every walk of life out here.

246
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:43,000
The boys have had a great day clicking the old shutters of their cameras.

247
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:48,000
The first pitch of the ball game is a ball. Paul Wehner is up.

248
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Gomez is getting his sign again. Here's the next pitch.

249
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,000
It's a strike. It's shoulder high right over the plate, and the counter's one and one on the hitter.

250
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Nobody on, nobody off. The game is just getting underway. The national league is back first.

251
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Gomez gets his sign. Here's the next pitch. It's a fastball inside, closest to the knee for the ball,

252
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,000
and the counter's two and one on the hitter.

253
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,000
The American league puffs it up out there on the infield. There's Charlie Carringer rubbing his glove.

254
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Gomez bends halfway over, getting that windup set. Here he is, the pitch.

255
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,000
It's a ground ball to Rolf. He has it. There goes the ball across the infield.

256
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:25,000
He's out on an easy play. Rolf to Gary. Paul Wehner with an easy up. Rolf to Gary.

257
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,000
Now the American league boys play it around. Polen has it.

258
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:34,000
Carringer has it. Gary has it. Walks over to the pitcher and tosses the ball to him underhanded.

259
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:41,000
The right-hander to come up is Billy Herman with the cup, batting.352.

260
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Right-handed hitter. This is Billy Herman's first day, by the way.

261
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,000
Now Gomez gets his sign. Here's the pitch to Bill. It's a fastball over his head for the ball.

262
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Ball one. Nobody on and one off. Ball game is in the first half of the first inning.

263
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Billy Herman stands far back in the batter's box. Gomez is getting his sign.

264
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,000
It's a fastball. He hits a high-top foul. Back of the plate. Dickie's back.

265
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,000
He's right under it and should get it. He's waiting. He has it.

266
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:15,000
Over second out. Billy Herman followed off to Dickie. About 20 feet behind the plate and right in line with the plate.

267
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:20,000
He didn't have to move to his right or to his left. He just had to go back and he went back about 20 feet.

268
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:25,000
20 or 25 feet behind the plate. It was an easy, it's kind of an off.

269
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Next man to come up is Archie Vaughan. He's batting.360.

270
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,000
He's playing third base today. His natural position is short.

271
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:41,000
He's a left-handed batter and he stands way back in the far corner of the batter's box, far away from the plate.

272
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,000
Now Gomez is getting his sign. Here's the wind up on the pitch.

273
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000
It's a fastball and he hits a fly ball into the right center fielder.

274
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,000
He's stopping for a hit. It's a single into right center field.

275
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,000
Averyll gets the ball back and being field fast.

276
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,000
And it was the first hit of the ball game, a single into right center field.

277
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,000
It's a fly ball, not very high, and it drops into short right center.

278
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Averyll took the ball in the second bounce and shot it back in to Garenger at second.

279
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Here's Medwick. He's batting.404.

280
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Medwick of St. Louis, a right-handed Earth.

281
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,000
Number seven and red on the back of his way uniform.

282
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,000
The first pitch is too low and outside a fastball.

283
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,000
There's a man on first for the national league. There's two up.

284
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:25,000
The game is in the first half of the first inning. Gomez is pitching against Dean.

285
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,000
Now Burnham gets his time again. He's all set to hit the pitch.

286
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000
Medwick looks at the fastball inside.

287
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:34,000
Post, knee-high, a ball. Ball two.

288
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,000
Got it on first base. Archie Burnham has a short lead off.

289
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,000
A catcher for the American league is Phil Dickey and he has a great throwing arm.

290
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Here's the next pitch. Medwick hits the bounding ball off of the shortstop.

291
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,000
Over to second base. Out.

292
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Burnham to Garenger. Forth spawn going down to second base.

293
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,000
And it retires inside. All right, Tony.

294
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,000
The first man up for the national league is Paul Reiner without Ross to Garenger.

295
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,000
And then Herman filed out to Dickey.

296
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:02,000
And Burnham got the first hit of the 1937 All-Star Ball Game,

297
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,000
which is being played here at Griffith Stadium.

298
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,000
And of course, Medwick went out forcing Archie Burnham,

299
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,000
or rather Archie Burnham, out. He was forced out second.

300
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:19,000
And now, having some sort of discussion down here in the field,

301
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Desi Dean goes out to the mound. He gets a hand, a grand hand.

302
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:29,000
I would like to mention at this time that tonight from 8.30 to 8.45 p.m.

303
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:34,000
Eastern Standard Time, the Mutual Broadcasting Network will make a special pick-up

304
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:41,000
to Faye G.M.B. Honolulu, during which they will give a reconsistence creation

305
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:47,000
and explain the activities to date which are being exercised in the search for Amelia Earhart

306
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:53,000
and her navigator Numa. Now that time is 8.30 to 8.45.

307
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,000
And now we're going into the last half of the first inning and back to Bob Elk.

308
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,000
Thank you, Tony. For the national league, Nice is the first, Billy Herman is second,

309
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:06,000
Bartell is short, Paul is staying third. Medwick is in left field,

310
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Demberty is in center field, and Paul Reiner in right field.

311
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Hartnett is catching and Dean is the pitcher, the first man to bat.

312
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:18,000
For the American League is Raul. The third baseman is average for the year is 293.

313
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Del Baker of Detroit is here after all and is coaching the third base.

314
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,000
Artie Fletcher is coaching over at first. Now Dean is ready to pitch to Raul.

315
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,000
Here's the first one. It's a fastball. It's too long.

316
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Horan is on a fast one. You can hear that pop in the glove all the way up here.

317
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,000
We have a great spot to see the game. You're right on the inside feet.

318
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Right above third base here for the All-Star Game in Washington.

319
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Here's the next pitch. It's a fastball. He attempted to bounce the ball and

320
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,000
popped it into the stands down here below it.

321
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,000
There's a real scramble down here. You can imagine the average baseball and

322
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,000
an average ballgame is a souvenir that people will tear their coats and

323
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,000
everything else off and get at. Well, you can imagine what they'll do for

324
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,000
the ballgame and the All-Star Game, for the baseball and the All-Star Game.

325
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Ross is starting with nobody on and nobody off. There's no score in the game.

326
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Here's the pitch. Ross took a straight fastball that was a little bit too close.

327
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:15,000
At all. Dean didn't like that. He hollered at the umpire.

328
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,000
Hillman's out there.

329
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,000
Boy, did he get a reception out of it. There's a fellow too.

330
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,000
There he is out there in the mound. He's got his motion again.

331
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Here comes the pitch. It's a slow ball.

332
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,000
It's a ground ball off to the second base for Billy Herman.

333
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,000
Over to first base and he's out. Herman to Maier.

334
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Ross is out. Billy Herman to Johnny Maier.

335
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,000
Next man to come up is the great second baseman of the Tigers, Charlie Jones.

336
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:47,000
He's batting 306. One of the grandest players in the game today.

337
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,000
Here's Charlie up at the plate. The left-handed batter.

338
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,000
Now Jizz is ready to pitch to him. He starts his windup. Here it is.

339
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:58,000
It's a fastball that's very low. Ball one.

340
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,000
National League talks it up out there in the infield. Ball on the third.

341
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,000
Bob Pellett short. Herman at second. Maier's at first.

342
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:10,000
Here's the next pitch. It's a slow curve.

343
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,000
A slow curve over the inside corner.

344
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:18,000
Knee high. Count is one and one.

345
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,000
The American League coach at first base, Art Fletcher, wants to talk to the umpire.

346
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,000
He's down the line to talk to him.

347
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Count is one and one on Garinger. American League second baseman.

348
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,000
There's one out and there is no one on the bases.

349
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,000
There is no score in the game. Gomez is pitching against Dean.

350
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Jizz takes his time out there again getting ready.

351
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Here's the next pitch to Charlie.

352
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,000
He went in a low one that time.

353
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Charlie Garinger's won the occasion for that.

354
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,000
The odds in the crowd of the pitch was very low.

355
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000
Charlie golfed those every once in a while, but he missed it.

356
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,000
An account now in four one and strike two.

357
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Gabby Harknett shoots his right fist up into the air.

358
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,000
Cutting the boys up.

359
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Dizzy Dean stands there in the mound getting his sign again from Harknett.

360
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,000
Now he's starting to wind up. Here's the next pitch to Garinger.

361
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,000
A very fast ball inside.

362
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,000
Too close to Philly at the ball.

363
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:20,000
Out is two and two. Dean and Harknett both foul about that one.

364
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,000
The National League pitcher and the National League catcher.

365
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:28,000
Dean and Harknett holler at the umpire about the call on that pitch.

366
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,000
Garinger is batting.

367
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,000
Out is two and two. There's one out.

368
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Nobody on the bases.

369
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,000
The ball game is in the last half of the first inning.

370
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,000
Keen on the mound.

371
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,000
Getting his sign again. He's already out there.

372
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,000
Here's the next pitch.

373
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,000
He hits a line drive right at Bartell.

374
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,000
A low line drive which Bartell caught knee high.

375
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,000
Garinger hit a fast ball around his knees and slapped it on the line.

376
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,000
And Bartell, the shortstop of the National League,

377
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:57,000
who caught it without moving a foot either way right at him knee high.

378
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Here's the Yankee star, Joe DiMaggio, playing right field.

379
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Batting 232.

380
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,000
Here's the pitch to Joe.

381
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,000
It's low outside.

382
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,000
He's shot-breaking curve ball for a ball.

383
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Two out and nobody on the bases.

384
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,000
Ball game is in the last half of the first inning.

385
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Dizzy Dean is pitching to Joe DiMaggio who's playing right field today.

386
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,000
He's ready. Here's the next pitch.

387
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,000
It's a little bit low on the outside.

388
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,000
The ball makes it ball two.

389
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:38,000
Next man to come up will be Lou Gehrig.

390
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Del Baker of Detroit.

391
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,000
American League culture below us at third.

392
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,000
Makes a lot of noise.

393
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,000
Here comes the next pitch.

394
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,000
DiMaggio, one miss.

395
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,000
Shot-breaking curve and around his knee.

396
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,000
And the counter's ball two and strike one.

397
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,000
DiMaggio steps out of the batter's box, gets a lot of dirt on his hands,

398
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,000
then gets up in there again with a white uniform with black swim stripes

399
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,000
and a black number five in his back.

400
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,000
Here's the next pitch.

401
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Fastball over the outside corner.

402
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Sidearm fastball.

403
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,000
This is strike and the counter's two and two on DiMaggio.

404
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Hartman steps out in front of the plate.

405
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,000
Shoots that right-fist and hits up in the air again.

406
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Says something to do and then gets back in behind the hitter.

407
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000
It's a two and two count on Joe DiMaggio.

408
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,000
Two out of nobody on in the last half of the first.

409
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,000
Which is getting his sign again.

410
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,000
There's the right-foot forward.

411
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,000
He's most of me excited.

412
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,000
Here it is.

413
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,000
High inside the ball.

414
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Makes it three and two on Joe.

415
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,000
Makes it getting his sign now.

416
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,000
He's all ready.

417
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,000
Here comes the next one.

418
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,000
It's outside the ball.

419
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Ball four.

420
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,000
DiMaggio gets the base on ball.

421
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Here's Lou Gehrig coming up.

422
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:54,000
Gehrig is batting 372.

423
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,000
The president has his hat off over there now.

424
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,000
It's all settled back.

425
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,000
America's number one baseball fan has been joining the All-Star Game.

426
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,000
Justin Juena.

427
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,000
Down on first has a short lead off.

428
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,000
Lou Gehrig is up.

429
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Here's the pitch.

430
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,000
It's a strike on the inside corner.

431
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:19,000
Knee high.

432
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Lou Gehrig stands there with the bat on the shoulder.

433
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,000
Keep an eye on the man on first base.

434
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,000
Joe DiMaggio is teammates.

435
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,000
There's two out here in the last half of the first.

436
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:32,000
He misclosed the first base with the runners back in plenty of time.

437
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:38,000
Johnny Mize with the St. Louis Cardinals is the National League first baseman.

438
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Man on first is Joe DiMaggio.

439
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,000
He drew a base on ball.

440
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,000
So far there's been one hit of the game.

441
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Archie Borg running here.

442
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,000
The next pitch, a fastball.

443
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,000
Oh, how he swung that time and missed it.

444
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,000
Dizzy Dean threw in a fastball knee high to Gehrig.

445
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,000
And Gehrig swung hard and missed.

446
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,000
Two strikes on Lou.

447
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:01,000
Lou Gehrig.

448
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,000
American League first baseman is at bat here in the last half of the first.

449
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,000
He was Joe DiMaggio on first and two up.

450
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,000
Dizzy Dean on the mound.

451
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,000
Tall Cardinal right-hander as his arms up over his head.

452
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,000
He's ready.

453
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,000
Here's the next pitch.

454
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:20,000
A wild one, very high, which Hocknett had to go up to grab.

455
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:25,000
The count is 4-1 and strike two for Gehrig.

456
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,000
DiMaggio isn't taking any chances on Hocknett's arm.

457
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,000
He's staying right close to first.

458
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,000
Ball on the third.

459
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,000
Bartell at short.

460
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Terminant second.

461
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,000
Johnny Mize at first.

462
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,000
A man on for the American League and two up.

463
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,000
Now Dizzy's getting his sign again.

464
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,000
Here's the pitch.

465
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Gehrig with the roller fouled on the first baseline.

466
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Johnny Mize comes over the line, picks up the ball,

467
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,000
and fires it back around the National League infield.

468
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,000
It's the easiest kind of a roller, fouled about five feet outside the first baseline

469
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,000
and rolled almost down to the back when Mize picked it up.

470
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,000
National League boys leg the ball around,

471
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,000
pep it up out there in the infield.

472
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:04,000
The outfield is playing Gehrig a little bit around to the right.

473
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,000
Dizzy Dean is getting his sign again.

474
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,000
Man on first base has a pretty good leadoff.

475
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,000
There he goes.

476
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,000
Gehrig swung at the ball and foul-tipped it.

477
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Blue Gehrig swung at the ball and foul-tipped it

478
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,000
and the count is one and two on the better.

479
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:25,000
DiMaggio is going back to first.

480
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,000
Man on first base.

481
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Blue Gehrig batting.

482
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,000
Dizzy Dean is going to come in as ball will and strike two.

483
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Next man to come up will be Earl Averdale.

484
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,000
Dean was ready that time and then he decided to step off the pitching rubber

485
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,000
and fix his self.

486
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Pull his cap down firmly on his head.

487
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,000
Now he's getting ready out there again.

488
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,000
He's all set.

489
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,000
There goes the runner.

490
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,000
Here's the pitch.

491
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Right three.

492
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,000
Suck him out.

493
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,000
A back fall right over the plate.

494
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,000
Gehrig one hard and missed and his entire defense.

495
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,000
All right, boys.

496
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,000
Well, when Dizzy Dean steps out on the diamond,

497
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,000
he always causes a lot of excite.

498
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:06,000
He's going directly below us, running from ear to ear as he walks into the dugout.

499
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Ralph, the first man up, was out hermit to Mize.

500
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:14,000
Gehrig just drove to Bartel for the second out and then DiMaggio walked.

501
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,000
And Luke Gehrig came up and Dizzy Dean struck him out.

502
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:22,000
So at the end of the first inning, the national league is nothing

503
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,000
and the American league is nothing.

504
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:30,000
One hit so far and that was by Archie Vaughn in the first inning.

505
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,000
Going in now to the national tap off the set.

506
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,000
More nothing, nothing and Bob Elf.

507
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:41,000
The first man to bat for the national league will be the brilliant outfielder of the Chicago Cubs,

508
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,000
Frank Demery, who's playing in center field today.

509
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,000
Frank is the right-hander hitter.

510
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:51,000
His batting average today is 323.

511
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,000
He's a fine outfielder.

512
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,000
He can travel out there in the outfield.

513
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:59,000
He has a good arm, a fine hitter, and a real hustler.

514
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:05,000
It's going to be very hard to pick between these two teams today.

515
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Two wonderful teams.

516
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,000
Vernon Gomez is pitching for the Yankees.

517
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,000
Dizzy Dean is pitching for the national league.

518
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:16,000
Vernon Gomez for the American league and Dean for the national.

519
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Here's Frank Demery up starting the second inning and the first pitch is very low,

520
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,000
almost into the dirt, ball one.

521
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Here's an airplane going overhead.

522
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,000
Nobody on the bases and nobody out.

523
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,000
The ball game is in the first half of the second.

524
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Gomez gets his time.

525
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Here's the next pitch.

526
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,000
He hits a high short fly to center field.

527
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,000
It should be caught.

528
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,000
The center fielder is in under it.

529
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,000
Earl Averell is looking up.

530
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,000
He's caught it for the first out.

531
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:44,000
Frank Demery sent a short fly ball into center field that was caught by Earl Averell.

532
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,000
He throws the ball in behind second base to Coleman.

533
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,000
Coleman flips it to Garenger.

534
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,000
Garenger to Ross and then back to Gomez.

535
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:54,000
The next man to come up is the first baseman of the St. Louis Cardinals,

536
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:59,000
the National League first baseman, Johnny Mize.

537
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,000
He's batting.363.

538
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,000
Here's the pitch.

539
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,000
He hits a high fly in the left field.

540
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:04,000
It should be caught.

541
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,000
The left fielder is coming in.

542
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,000
He's right under it now.

543
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,000
Sam Weston, he caught it for the second out.

544
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Johnny Mize hit a high fly into short left field that was caught by Sam West,

545
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
outfielder of the St. Louis Browns.

546
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,000
You can see the reflection of the sun on his glasses.

547
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,000
Now the next man to come up is Blacknet of the Chicago Cubs.

548
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:27,000
The batting average is.384.

549
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,000
Here we use the first pitch.

550
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,000
The Heartnet is a strike.

551
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:33,000
It's a fastball right down the middle.

552
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,000
Two off to the National League.

553
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,000
Nobody on the bases.

554
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,000
There's no score.

555
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,000
Gomez against Dean.

556
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:40,000
Gomez is ready.

557
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,000
Here's the pitch.

558
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,000
He hits a bounding ball between first and second.

559
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,000
Second baseman Garenger has it over to first.

560
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,000
He's an easy off.

561
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:51,000
Garenger to Garik and it retires the sun.

562
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,000
In the National half of the second inning, Demary slide out to Avril.

563
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,000
Mize slide out to Sam West.

564
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:02,000
And Gabby Heartnet went out Garenger to Lou Garik at first.

565
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,000
We're going into the last half of the second inning.

566
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,000
The score remains nothing, nothing.

567
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,000
And we've had one hit so far in this ball game.

568
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:16,000
The Archie Vaughan singles in the first inning for the National League.

569
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:24,000
And as we told you, Dizzy was highly pleased after his appearance out there in the first inning.

570
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,000
Came back into the dugout.

571
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,000
Saw a smile.

572
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,000
Still shooting them down.

573
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Gabby Heartnet now walking over and will turn the microphone back to Bob Elst.

574
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:43,000
First round of bat for the American League in the last half of the second inning is Earl Avril.

575
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:47,000
Earl is turning center field.

576
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:51,000
His batting average is 313, the left hand of better.

577
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,000
Now Dean is ready.

578
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,000
Here's the first pitch.

579
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,000
It's a little bit too close.

580
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,000
Knee high.

581
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:57,000
Ball one.

582
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,000
Nobody on and nobody out in the last half of the second inning for the American League.

583
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,000
No score.

584
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,000
Here's the next pitch.

585
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,000
Avril took one right across his shoulders for the strike.

586
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,000
The count is one and one on Earl Avril, the first man up in the last half of the second.

587
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,000
Diz gets his sign again from Heartnet.

588
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,000
The National League infielders talking up out there.

589
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,000
Long, Darktail, Billy Herman, Miles.

590
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,000
Avril has his sign.

591
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,000
Here's the next pitch.

592
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,000
He almost fell.

593
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,000
Diz almost fell as he threw that one.

594
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,000
It was a ball over his head.

595
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,000
And he's laughing now.

596
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,000
As he delivered the ball, he stumbled.

597
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,000
And the pitch was very high.

598
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,000
Went over the batter's head.

599
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,000
And Earl Avril, the batter, gives him a bit.

600
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,000
So the count is two and one now.

601
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Diz is getting ready again.

602
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,000
Here's the next pitch.

603
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,000
Low and inside the ball.

604
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,000
Makes it three and one on Avril.

605
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,000
Nobody on and nobody out.

606
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,000
Last half of the second.

607
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:51,000
Next man to come up is the shortstop, Bill Clarnon.

608
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,000
Here's the pitch.

609
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,000
It's a perfect pitch.

610
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,000
Right over the heart of the plate.

611
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Strike.

612
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:02,000
Back ball.

613
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:03,000
He's ready.

614
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,000
Here's the next pitch.

615
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,000
He hits one into right field.

616
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,000
A save bit for Avril.

617
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,000
Right fielder Paul Wiener juggles the ball.

618
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,000
He picks it up right away.

619
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,000
It's a single into right field for Earl Avril.

620
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:17,000
Brings up Clarnon, the manager and shortstop of the Boston Red Sox.

621
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:23,000
The right hand is in it.

622
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,000
Clarnon's average today is 332.

623
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:30,000
I'm going to repeat the batting averages today for each player just the first time up.

624
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:35,000
So the two fans who are knocking the scorecard will know what each player is hitting, but just the first time up.

625
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,000
And on first base now is nobody off to the American League.

626
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,000
They're pulling up the pitch.

627
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,000
Way outside, a pitch job.

628
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,000
Miners stated first.

629
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Ball one.

630
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:50,000
The next man to come up will be Bill Dickey, the catcher, and then Sam West, the left fielder.

631
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,000
It's the last half of the second inning and there is no score.

632
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,000
This is ready.

633
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,000
Here's the pitch.

634
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,000
There's a fly ball in the center field.

635
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:00,000
The center fielder, Demery, is under it and should get it and has it for the first up.

636
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Clarnon hit a fly ball into direct, into dead center field.

637
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:10,000
Right out just about in line with second base and the center fielder, Demery, didn't have to move at all.

638
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,000
It was an easy up.

639
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:18,000
Next man to come up is the catcher of the Yankees, the American League catcher today, Bill Dickey.

640
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:23,000
Bill's batting 300.

641
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:28,000
There's the first pitch. It's a fast one right around his knees for a called strike.

642
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:34,000
This has lots to hop on the old fast one today.

643
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:38,000
Man on first base for the American League and one gone.

644
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,000
It's the last half of the second inning.

645
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,000
Now Dickey's getting assigned again. Arms up over his head, drops him down.

646
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,000
Here's the pitch.

647
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:49,000
There's a ground ball out close to second base. Billy Herman can't get it. It's a hit.

648
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,000
It's a hit for Dickey.

649
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,000
Billy Herman went to his right and knocked the ball down behind second base.

650
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:59,000
The ball rolled into short center field and it's a hit.

651
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:09,000
He puts a man on first and a man on second for the American League and brings up the left fielder, Sam West.

652
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:16,000
That's two hits this inning.

653
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:22,000
Here's Sam West up at the plate, a left-hander better. Man on first and a man on second.

654
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,000
Bob Dickey's getting assigned again. He's all ready.

655
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:29,000
There's a high fly in the short center field. Demary is under it. He should get it.

656
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:35,000
He's moving over a little bit to his right to left center. He has the ball for the second up and it brings up Gomez.

657
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,000
Sam West flies to Demary in short left center field.

658
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,000
The left fielder, Medwick, was also over there.

659
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,000
He was holling at Demary to save him.

660
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:58,000
Here's Gomez coming up with two up, two men on, last half of the second inning, and no score.

661
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:03,000
So we've got three hits in the ball game so far, one by the National League and two by the American League.

662
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:10,000
Hartnett and Mize talk to the pitcher, Dickey Beane.

663
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:14,000
The National League is warming up Kyle Hubbell down the line here to our left.

664
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:18,000
Kyle Hubbell will be the second National League pitcher.

665
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,000
The first pitch to Gomez. Boy, that was a fast one. Right around his knee.

666
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,000
Strike one.

667
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:28,000
Byrne didn't offer at it.

668
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,000
Man on first and the man on second.

669
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,000
Beane is pitching to Vernon Gomez.

670
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:40,000
Here's the next pitch. It's mowing outside the ball to Gomez and the count is one and one.

671
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:45,000
This takes a couple of kicks of the pitching rubber out there. Gets all set again.

672
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,000
Arms up over his head, drops him down. He's ready. Here's the pitch to Gomez.

673
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:52,000
A fast ball, shoulder high. One is hard and this is it and the count is one and two.

674
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:56,000
Lots of pepper out there in that National League infield. The boys are talking with their hoodies.

675
00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:01,000
You can hear them barking all the way up here in the stands.

676
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,000
He has a count of ball one and strike two on Gomez.

677
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,000
Beane is ready again. Here's the pitch.

678
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:10,000
Strike three. Struck him out. A called strike right around his knee.

679
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:14,000
Two men are left on the bases and that's the end of the second inning.

680
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:15,000
Here's Tony Wakes.

681
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,000
At the end of the second inning the score stands nothing nothing.

682
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,000

Floman, the cronin, fly to center.

684
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,000
And then Dickey got a hit down toward second.

685
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,000
Avril moving over towards left base.

686
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:32,000
West who followed, flied out the center and Gomez struck out.

00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:36,000
Three hits so far in the ball game. Two for the American Leaguers in that inning.

688
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:40,000
And one for the National Leaguers in the first.

689
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:45,000
Back to the ball game at Griffith Stadium, the nation's capital, Washington, D.C.

690
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,000
We're going into the national half of the third inning.

691
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,000
Score nothing nothing and the thought else.

692
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:56,000
The return of that for the National League in the first half of the third right down here below us is little Dick Bartell.

693
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:04,000
There's that familiar traveling uniform with the New York Giants, gray, with a light blue cap, blue and light stockings, and blue leather rings on the back of his shirt.

694
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:09,000
Dickler's number two. He's the first man to bat for the National League in the first half of the third.

He hits the ground ball with a short stop. Coleman up with it.

704
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:52,000
There it goes over the first base. He's out by about 10 feet for the first stop, Coleman McGarry.

705
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:56,000
Easy off.

Here's 50 boos.

707
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:10,000
Well, this is just a nice reception from the side.

A few boos, but mostly a pause.

709
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:17,000
Here's the first pitch to do.

710
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:21,000

Paul Wehner hit a short fly ball down the left field line in short left field,

773
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:09,000

774
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:10,000
to retire the charge.

775
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:14,000
That's the end of the first half of the third.

776
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,000
We're going into the last half of the third inning.

00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,000
The score still stands, nothing, nothing.

778

That end for the National.

779

Bartel was out throwing the gurgles.

780
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:28,000

781
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,000
flied out the left.

We have had three hits so far, two for the American Leagueers,

783
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:37,000
both in the second inning.

784

793
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,000
Here's the first pitch.

794
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:16,000
It's a little bit outside, knee-high, all one.

795
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,000
Archie Barnes, third baseman, is playing in close there.

796
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,000
Shortstop Bartel is playing deep.

797
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:23,000
Here's the next pitch.

798
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,000
There's a ground ball off to Bartel.

799
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:26,000
Up with it over the first base.

800
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:27,000
He's out.

801
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:28,000
Bartel to the mound.

802
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,000
He had a ground ball to Bartel.

803
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:34,000
Bartel moves in about five feet on the ball, picks it up and rifle it over to Johnny Mize

804
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:35,000
to get his man for an easy off.

805
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:36,000
One going.

806
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:40,000
Next man to come up is the second baseman, Tyler Ganger.

807
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:48,000
The first time up, he lined up to Bartel.

808
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,000
The first pitch is a ball that's too low to Ganger.

809
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,000
Ball one.

810
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:57,000
Johnny Mize plays Ganger way over near the first baseline.

811
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:58,000
Here's the next pitch.

812
00:51:58,000 --> 00:51:59,000
It's a slow ball.

813
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:00,000
It's a strike.

814
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,000
He's out of the beauty that time.

815
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,000
Old Diz threw in that floater.

816
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:05,000
Just seemed to hang in the air.

817
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,000
He got it right in there below Charlie Ganger's shoulder for a strike.

818
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,000
Here's the next pitch to Charlie.

819
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,000
It's a fastball right down the middle of beauty that time for a cross strike.

820
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,000
And the count is one and two.

821
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:19,000
And Old Diz is mixing them up plenty.

822
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,000
One out of nobody on in the last half of the third.

823
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:22,000
He's ready.

824
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:23,000
Here's the pitch.

825
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:29,000
It's a nice follow-up on top of the roots here to our right.

826
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:34,000
Our position is in the upper grandstand between the plate and third.

827
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:38,000
Old Diz is right down here in front of us now, looking down at Hartnett, getting his time.

828
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,000
Charlie Ganger gets tired of waiting.

829
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:44,000
Wipes his face with his sleeve and steps out of the batter's box.

830
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,000
Now he's back up in there again.

831
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,000
The count is one and two on Charlie.

832
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:48,000
There's one out.

833
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,000
Nobody on the bases in the last half of the third.

834
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:51,000
Here's the fifth.

835
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:55,000
And the ball is outside shoulder high.

836
00:52:55,000 --> 00:53:01,000
I'd rather think of you listening closely, but every once in a while you can hear that ball pop into the glove on the radio.

837
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,000
It's so close here to the plate.

838
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:05,000
Diz is getting his time.

839
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:06,000
Here's the next pitch to Ganger.

840
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:09,000
He hits a high-bounding ball between first and second.

841
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:12,000
Billy Herman is over fast over the first base and he got Herman to the line.

842
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,000
It was a high-bounding ball.

843
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,000
Herman got it off the third bounce and threw him up.

844
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:18,000
The way through is left.

845
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:20,000
That hit towards first.

846
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:28,000
He got the ball up midway between the bag, between first and second.

847
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,000
Here's the right fielder, Joe DiMarzio.

848
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:33,000
He walked the first time up.

849
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,000
Joe is taking the beans.

850
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:41,000
There's two out of nobody on the bases and no score.

851
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:44,000
He was in the batter's box and then he stepped out again to get some dirt on his hands.

852
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:47,000
Pretty warm here today.

853
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,000
Here's the fifth.

854
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:52,000
He went too close above the knee for the ball.

855
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,000
The first time up he drew a walk.

856
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,000
Diz is getting his time again.

857
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:58,000
He's running.

858
00:53:58,000 --> 00:53:59,000
Here's the next pitch.

859
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:06,000
He fouls right back into the wire behind the plate and the count is 1-1.

860
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:11,000
He steps back off the pitching rubber momentarily but right back up there again.

861
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,000
He's a fast worker out there in the mound today.

862
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:15,000
He's winding up again.

863
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,000
Here's the next pitch to Joe.

864
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,000
He's a fast ball right down the middle for the strike.

865
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:23,000
They tie and the count is 4-1 and strike two on Joe DiMarzio.

866
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:27,000
There's two out here.

867
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:30,000
Nobody on the bases.

868
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:31,000
Diz is getting ready.

869
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:32,000
Here's the next pitch.

870
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:35,000
There's a high-hits single right out of the bag in the center field.

871
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:41,000
A high-hits round ball by DiMarzio right through the box right over second base in the center field.

872
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:46,000
On first base it brings up Lee Gehrig.

873
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,000
That was hit number three for the American League.

874
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:55,000
The National League has made one hit.

875
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:58,000
A ball that's back right back through the box.

876
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:02,000
Here's Lee Gehrig.

877
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:10,000
And on first base a slow ball to Gehrig is right across his knees for a called strike.

878
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:15,000
And that's Gehrig's check out.

879
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:16,000
They keep the watch for the line.

880
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:19,000
DiMarzio on first base is extending his lead a little bit.

881
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:20,000
Watch him there.

882
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:23,000
He edges off the bag.

883
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:26,000
As a fair lead he's edging off a little farther.

884
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:27,000
Here's the pitch.

885
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:28,000
A fast ball and he hits the line.

886
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,000
Lee Gehrig back into the right field.

887
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:36,000
It may be it is a home run over the right field pitch.

888
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:40,000
Lee Gehrig with a home run way over the right field wall.

889
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:43,000
That wall stands about 100 feet up in the air.

890
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:44,000
Way over the wall.

891
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:47,000
It's DiMarzio ahead of him.

892
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:53,000
And the American League is leading by score up to the nothing.

893
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:54,000
Lee Gehrig gets a commotion.

894
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:58,000
The president is over there in the box as he goes by.

895
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:01,000
Lee Gehrig with a tremendous home run way over the wall.

896
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:06,000
He's about 10 feet from the first base line, about 10 feet from the line,

897
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:11,000
and Fred B. Will with stands about 100 feet in the air by about 10 or 15 feet.

898
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,000
A long run up, way over the fence.

899
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:23,000
The American League is ahead now by a score of two to nothing.

900
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:26,000
Well, as the Mermen still going through the stands,

901
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:33,000
the American League girl, Abram, coming up now.

902
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:37,000
The American League, too, the National League nothing.

903
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,000
There's a high-ditch ball off of Dizzy's leg.

904
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,000
It's going off to Billy Herman over the first base.

905
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:42,000
He's out.

906
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,000
Abram with a ground ball right back at two.

907
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,000
It hits his in the leg and is deflected to Billy Herman.

908
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:51,000
He's fixing him up, picks up the ball, and filled our three-maps on a fast play.

909
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,000
Herman, good luck.

910
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:57,000
At the end of the third inning, and the score is two to nothing

911
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,000
in favor of the American League and his play record.

912
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,000
Well, Dizzy Dean couldn't get rid of Lou Gehrig that time.

913
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:06,000
Brought the first man up, got short the first.

914
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,000
Gehrig went out, Herman the Mize.

915
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:13,000
DiMaggio singled over second, and then Lou Gehrig smacked the ball over the fence.

916
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:14,000
Joe DiMaggio won.

917
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:19,000
That's the counting for the two runs for the American League.

918
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:24,000
At the end of the third inning, the American League is two, the Nationals nothing.

919
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:29,000
We're going in now to the fourth inning.

920
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,000
Now we turn the microphone back to Robert.

921
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:33,000
Thank you, Tony.

922
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:38,000
New pitcher for the American League is Tommy Dizzy, the Detroit.

923
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:42,000
Tommy's record for the year is nine victories against Cougar Peak.

924
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:46,000
Starting the first half of the fourth inning, and we have Billy Herman,

925
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:50,000
Aki Vaughn, and Medley coming up in order in the first half of the fourth.

926
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:59,000
American League two, Nationals nothing.

927
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:09,000
Here's an announcement now about the new pitcher.

928
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:18,000
Tommy Bridges, the Thunder right-hander of the Flight Tigers is pitching now for the American League.

929
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:22,000
Tommy's been an outstanding pitcher in the American League for many, many years.

930
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:27,000
He's gone put some great ball in the World Series against the Cubs.

931
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:32,000
Just a few years ago, especially in that final game.

932
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:35,000
Here he is now with Billy Herman in the Cubs,

933
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,000
second baseman of the National League all-stars up at the plate.

934
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,000
Here's the first pitch, the Billy is mowing outside for a ball.

935
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:45,000
National League has a two-run handicap to overcome now.

936
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:48,000
A finger by DiMaggio and a home run by Lou Gehry.

937
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:50,000
Here's the two-run lead.

938
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:51,000
Bridges gets his time again.

939
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,000
Here's the next pitch.

940
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:54,000
It's mowed into the dirt.

941
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,000
A ball makes it fall through.

942
00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:02,000
Bill Dickey steps out in front of the plate and throws the ball back to Tommy.

943
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:07,000
Nobody on and nobody off.

944
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:10,000
Bridges gets his time again.

945
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:11,000
Now he's all set out there.

946
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,000
Here's the next pitch to Billy Herman.

947
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,000
There's a hit over the third baseman's head in the left field.

948
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:20,000
It's a single to left field for Billy Herman.

949
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:22,000
First putoff of Tommy Bridges.

950
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:25,000
First man in pitch two, Billy Herman, single to left field.

951
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:31,000
Next man to come up is Aki Warren, the third baseman.

952
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:34,000
Warren had a hit the first time up.

953
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,000
Ball game is in the first half of the fourth.

954
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:43,000
Man on first, left-hander to up at the plate.

955
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:46,000
Now Bridges getting ready.

956
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:50,000
First pitch of all is mowing inside the ball.

957
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:53,000
Ball one.

958
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:58,000
The National League made one hit and three innings after pitching to Vernon Gomez.

959
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:01,000
Now they have a right-hander to face.

960
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:02,000
Bridges walked as a man on first.

961
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,000
The next pitch, Ball hit the roller down the first base line.

962
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,000
The pitcher comes over fast, gets it over the first base.

963
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:07,000
He's out.

964
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:08,000
Tommy Bridges to Gary.

965
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,000
A nice play by Bridges.

966
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,000
It was a slow runner, about a foot inside the line.

967
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:16,000
Tommy had to get all the way over from the pitcher's box to first base.

968
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:22,000
He picked the ball up about a foot inside the line and midway between the pace and first.

969
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:27,000
Picked the ball up and with the same motion through it to get born a fast man for the first out.

970
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:28,000
Billy Herman is on second.

971
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,000
And the next man to come up is Joe Medley.

972
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:35,000
Medley Kittum will force out the first time up, hits it a short stop.

973
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:38,000
Here's Joe up at the plate now with Billy on second base.

974
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,000
National League two runs behind.

975
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,000
The first pitch he hits the bounding ball over Frankie Frisch's head.

976
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:45,000
Foul down the first base line.

977
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,000
Frisch is coaching at first.

978
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,000
Remember the pitcher now for the American League on the field.

979
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,000
DiMaggio is in right field.

980
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:53,000
Avril is in center field.

981
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:54,000
West is in left field.

982
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:55,000
Gary gets first.

983
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:56,000
Gallinger second.

984
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:57,000
Coleman short.

985
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:58,000
Ross third.

986
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:01,000
Ricky Setty and a new pitcher now, Bridges.

987
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:02,000
Here's the next pitch.

988
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:03,000
Medley Kitts going down to third base.

989
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:07,000
And the next pitch is Billy Herman coming around third base and scoring.

990
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:08,000
Medley Kitts is going to try for second.

991
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:11,000
There's the throw from West and he's safe at second.

992
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:12,000
A double by Medley.

993
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,000
Right over third base, scores a run.

994
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,000
And the score now is 2-1.

995
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:20,000
Joe hit a bounding ball about a foot inside the line when it passed the bag.

996
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,000
Rolled down the left field line.

997
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:25,000
West, the left fielder, hurried over and grabbed the ball and fired it into second base.

998
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:27,000
There was no play at the plate.

999
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:28,000
Billy Herman scored standing up.

1000
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:35,000
Medley went into second base standing up.

1001
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:36,000
Now the score is 2-1.

1002
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,000
The next man to bat is Demary.

1003
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,000
And a hip bow with tied up.

1004
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:42,000
One goal and the man on second.

1005
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:43,000
Bridges getting his time.

1006
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:47,000
Fast ball right around his shoulders for a called strike.

1007
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:52,000
First time up Demary for the fly ball to center field to Avril.

1008
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:56,000
One run in here in the first half of the fourth.

1009
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:58,000
Joe Medley's double.

1010
01:01:58,000 --> 01:01:59,000
Bridges getting ready again.

1011
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:03,000
Next pitch is rolling outside a shot breaking third.

1012
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:08,000
The count is one and one on the hitter.

1013
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:09,000
One goal and the man on second.

1014
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:10,000
One run in.

1015
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,000
Ball game is in the first half of the fourth.

1016
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,000
Frank Demary is batting with Medley on second.

1017
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,000
Tommy Bridges is now pitching.

1018
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,000
Getting his time over there now.

1019
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,000
Looks down at the catcher, Bill Dickey, getting his time.

1020
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:24,000
He's working slowly out there in the mound.

1021
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,000
Here's the hitter up at the plate.

1022
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:27,000
Here's the pitch.

1023
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:28,000
He hits a high foul.

1024
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:29,000
It's going into the stands.

1025
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:30,000
Off to the right.

1026
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:31,000
Go to the upper deck.

1027
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:36,000
Between the paint and first.

1028
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:41,000
It's dropped down into the American League dugout.

1029
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:46,000
One of the ball players over there gets the scoop of air.

1030
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,000
Frank Demary is batting.

1031
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:50,000
And on second base.

1032
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:51,000
One gone in the fourth.

1033
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,000
A short run here off of Bridges.

1034
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:55,000
Tommy's getting his time again.

1035
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:56,000
Here it is.

1036
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,000
There's a high fly in the short right field.

1037
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:00,000
The second baseman is backing up.

1038
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:04,000
Charlie Geringer is under it, waiting for it, and has it for the second up.

1039
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:07,000
Frank Demary hit a high fly in the short right field.

1040
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:10,000
And is caught by Geringer for the second up.

1041
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:19,000
Next man to come up is the Kybos first baseman, Johnny Meyers.

1042
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:25,000
Frank Demary sent a fly ball in the short right field that was caught by Geringer.

1043
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,000
Now there's two outs, one run in.

1044
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:30,000
Man on second for the National League in the first half of the fourth.

1045
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:35,000
Bridges is ready to pitch to Johnny Meyers.

1046
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:36,000
He hits a ground ball off of the shortstop.

1047
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:37,000
Pulling up to it.

1048
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:38,000
Over to first base.

1049
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:39,000
He's out.

1050
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:40,000
Fall into Geringer.

1051
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:42,000
And it repires the side.

1052
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:43,000
Medwick is left on the bases.

1053
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:46,000
That's the end of the first half of the fourth.

1054
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:47,000
All right, Tony.

1055
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:51,000
As we go into the last half of the fourth inning, the ballgame stands.

1056
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:55,000
The American League is 2 and the National League is 1.

1057
01:03:55,000 --> 01:04:00,000
The Americans scoring two runs in the third and the Nationals one in the fourth.

1058
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:07,000
We wish to mention at this time that tonight, 830 to 845 p.m., Eastern Standard Time,

1059
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:13,000
the Mutual Broadcasting Network will make a special pickup to KGMB Honolulu.

1060
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:18,000
And during the broadcast, an explanation will be made of the activities to date

1061
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:24,000
which are being exercised in the search for Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Nuna.

1062
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:28,000
We're going in now to the last half of the fourth inning.

1063
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:32,000
And Carl Hubbell is now pitching for the National League.

1064
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:34,000
And here is Bob Elk.

1065
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:38,000
Carl Hubbell who has the record this year of 11 victories against four defeats.

1066
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:42,000
The lad who will go down in baseball's record books is one of the great pitchers of all time.

1067
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:46,000
He's ascending the mound now for the National League in a very close, wonderful ballgame here

1068
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:49,000
in the nation's capital, Washington, D.C.

1069
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:54,000
The score is 2 to 1 in favor of the American League as they come to bat in the last half of the fourth.

1070
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:58,000
First man to come up will be the manager and shortstop of the Boston Red Sox, Joe Cronin.

1071
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:06,000
I'll have a lot of him on. He has 11 victories this year against four defeats.

1072
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:09,000
You remember in the string of games for the Giants, he was knocked out of the box.

1073
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:14,000
I believe it was five or six times, but was not defeated on those times.

1074
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:17,000
Now Hubbell is pitching the Cronin. There's the first pitch.

1075
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:22,000
It's a little bit low and outside for the ball.

1076
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:25,000
Joe Cronin up.

1077
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:28,000
The first time up he's got a fly ball to Demary.

1078
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:33,000
Joe stands back but bends at the middle and right over that Cronin.

1079
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:37,000
He's hit with the first of all. That's one and missed it completely.

1080
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:41,000
And the count is one and one on Joe.

1081
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,000
So many stands up there at the plate.

1082
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:50,000
He does look out the plate. He stands back but he almost bends in half as he leans forward.

1083
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:53,000
Now he's up there now leaning way over.

1084
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,000
Number four in the back of his white uniform.

1085
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,000
Here's the next pitch from Hubbell. It's a ball.

1086
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,000
A shoulder high, a little bit outside.

1087
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:03,000
And the count on Joe is ball two and strike one.

1088
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,000
There's nobody on. There's nobody out.

1089
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:11,000
Joe Cronin is in the last half of the fourth inning to score the American League two, the National League one.

1090
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:15,000
The National League scored on a hit, on two hits a single and a double.

1091
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,000
The American League on a single and a home.

1092
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:19,000
There's a high fly into short left field.

1093
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:21,000
Medway is coming over near the line. He should get it.

1094
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:27,000
He's under it and he has it three feet inside the left field line in short left field for the first shot.

1095
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:34,000
Joe Cronin flies to Medway.

1096
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:37,000
Now the next man to come up is Joe Vicki, the American League catcher.

1097
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:41,000
He had a hit the first time up.

1098
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:46,000
Kyle Hubbell is picking.

1099
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:48,000
Now to wind up in the pitch.

1100
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,000
It's a fast ball that almost put him in the head.

1101
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:52,000
Ball one.

1102
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:55,000
He'll jump down the way in a hurry.

1103
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:59,000
Billy Herman plays this batter back on the grass.

1104
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:02,000
Second baseman of the National League plays him back, plays him very deep.

1105
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,000
Back on the grass on the short right field.

1106
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:06,000
Rest of the infield is intact in position.

1107
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:13,000
There's a curve ball, a famous two-ball of Hubbell, that's very low.

1108
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:18,000
Johnny Mize is playing Vicki very close to first base.

1109
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:22,000
Left side of the infield, Archie Vaughan and Bartell making a lot of noise.

1110
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:25,000
Now to wind up in the next pitch.

1111
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:27,000
It's a little bit too close.

1112
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:33,000
A third ball on Vicki.

1113
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:38,000
Next man to come up will be the left fielder, Tony West.

1114
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:40,000
The score is 2-1 in favor of the American League.

1115
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:43,000
The ball game is in the last half of the fourth.

1116
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:45,000
A grand and glorious baseball day.

1117
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:48,000
Lights and brights and sun shining in a wonderful game.

1118
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:49,000
Here's the next pitch.

1119
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:53,000
It's a strike right there in the middle that time, way high.

1120
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:55,000
Kyle's feeling a straight fast ball.

1121
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:57,000
He's got his weight with a three and nothing count.

1122
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:01,000
The only object that time was to get it in over the plate.

1123
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:04,000
All three in strike one now for Vicki, one out and nobody on.

1124
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:05,000
Hubbell is ready.

1125
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:06,000
Here's the next pitch.

1126
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:08,000
It's evidence for a ball four.

1127
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:14,000
So Vicki gets the base on balls and it brings up the left fielder, Sam West.

1128
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:20,000
The first time up he's flied off to Demory in center field.

1129
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:24,000
Hubbell takes his staff off and wipes his face.

1130
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:28,000
There's number 11 in the back of his gray uniform in blue.

1131
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,000
Here's Gabby Hartnett down below.

1132
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:31,000
It's making a lot of noise.

1133
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:32,000
Sammy West up.

1134
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,000
He's got flex planted.

1135
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:35,000
Kyle Hubbell is getting the sign again.

1136
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:37,000
Vicki has a pretty good lead off.

1137
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:38,000
Then it goes down.

1138
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:40,000
There's the ground ball to Mize.

1139
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:41,000
It's going into right field.

1140
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:45,000
And the runner from first base is coming around the third.

1141
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:47,000
It's called a hit.

1142
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:48,000
It's a pretty hard hit, ground ball.

1143
01:08:48,000 --> 01:09:00,000
Now, Lawrence Newt, Johnny Mize in the right field and the official scorer, Call Today Zip.

1144
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:02,000
That is hit number five for the American League.

1145
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:07,000
They put the man on first and the man on third and brings up the pitcher, Tommy Bridges.

1146
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:11,000
Score is 2-1 in their favor.

1147
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:14,000
Kyle is getting ready with the first pitch, Tommy Bridges.

1148
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:25,000
He's scored the ball and threw it fast, almost into the National League dugout here below us.

1149
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:27,000
That boy takes it off to him.

1150
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:32,000
Tommy Bridges swung at Kyle Hubbell's first pitcher, which was just around his plate.

1151
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:38,000
The bat slipped out of his hands and went almost into the National League dugout here behind third.

1152
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:42,000
Hubbell is getting his sign again, a man on first and a man on third and one out.

1153
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:43,000
Here's the next pitch to Bridges.

1154
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:44,000
He swung again and missed.

1155
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:47,000
It's two strikes on Tommy.

1156
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:48,000
It's Lee Drew.

1157
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:52,000
Kyle Hubbell is fairing down and putting plenty of dope on that ball now.

1158
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:57,000
National League is warming up Glanton in the bullpen in the left field.

1159
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:00,000
American League is fat in the last half of the fourth inning.

1160
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,000
West on first, cookie on third.

1161
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:05,000
National League in field, drawn in post.

1162
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:06,000
Hubbell is getting his sign.

1163
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:07,000
Here's the pitch.

1164
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:10,000
Strike three, put him out on three-pitch ball.

1165
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:11,000
Lots of dope on that one.

1166
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:14,000
There's a low pick outside with a weak hook on it.

1167
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:16,000
Bridges swung and missed.

1168
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:26,000
Here's the leadoff man, Red Ross.

1169
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:29,000
Ross has been up twice and has bounced out on each occasion.

1170
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:32,000
Man on first and a man on third and Ross batting.

1171
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,000
Two going now in the last half of the fourth.

1172
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:35,000
Hubbell is ready with the pitch.

1173
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:40,000
It's two-nil ball.

1174
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:46,000
Little Dickey is right down here below it on third base.

1175
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:49,000
Over there at first base is Sammy West.

1176
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:53,000
National League in field, talks it up plenty and shots words of encouragement to Kyle Hubbell.

1177
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:55,000
Here's the next pitch to Ross.

1178
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:57,000
It's high and outside of ball.

1179
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:58,000
Ball two.

1180
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:02,000
Next man to come up will be Charlie Geringer.

1181
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:04,000
National League has made three hits.

1182
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:06,000
The American League has made six hits.

1183
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:08,000
The American League has made two runs.

1184
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:09,000
The National League won one.

1185
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:11,000
Geringer with a home run with a man on.

1186
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:13,000
Hubbell is getting ready out there again.

1187
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:14,000
Here's the next pitch to Ross.

1188
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:15,000
Ross has a fly ball.

1189
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:16,000
They're out in the right center field.

1190
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:17,000
A big one for it.

1191
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:18,000
They can't get it.

1192
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:19,000
And here's Ross coming to third.

1193
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,000
Here he's safe at third.

1194
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:25,000
It's a triple against the fence in right center field by Red Ross.

1195
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:29,000
That's more than two more runs for the American League.

1196
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:31,000
Thanks, Emily, the center fielder and Paul Winn.

1197
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:34,000
The right fielder made a fine attempt to reach that ball.

1198
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:36,000
He hit the fence out in right center field.

1199
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:40,000
It's bounced. It hit on the ground just in front of the fence and bounced against the fence.

1200
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:42,000
Demery five is back into the infield.

1201
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:44,000
Demery to Billy Herman the third base.

1202
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:47,000
Red Ross is in the third base standing up with a triple.

1203
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:50,000
And the score is four to one now in favor of the American League.

1204
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:54,000
Next man to come up will be Charlie Geringer.

1205
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:58,000
Gabby Heichmet and Joe Ferrier going out to stop the Hubbell.

1206
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:16,000
Joe Ferrier and Heichmet are talking to Hubbell with a man on third base, two off.

1207
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:22,000
The score is four to one in favor of the American League.

1208
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:27,000
Here's Joe Ferrier coming to right below us now, coming into the National League dugout.

1209
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:32,000
They're going to lead them in.

1210
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:35,000
Red Ross with a triple in the far corner right center field.

1211
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:44,000
Scoring two more runs for the American League and they're leading four to one.

1212
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:48,000
Here's Charlie Geringer up with a man on third and two runs.

1213
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:50,000
Now to wind up in the first pitch for Charlie.

1214
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:51,000
It's over in court for the ball.

1215
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:52,000
Ball runs.

1216
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:54,000
Red Ross triples, scoring two runs.

1217
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:57,000
He's on third base for lower play with Hubbell,

1218
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:01,000
picking up another dangerous fastman, Charlie Geringer.

1219
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:02,000
What do you hear the next pitch?

1220
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:04,000
There's a put in the right field.

1221
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:08,000
Johnny Myers couldn't hit it off and it goes into right field for a single.

1222
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:12,000
Scores another run, makes the score five to one.

1223
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:16,000
Next man to come up will be the Major.

1224
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:19,000
We're going to get a little picture for the National League.

1225
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:22,000
Guy Platton is going to relieve Hubbell.

1226
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:25,000
Well, this has been a beginning for the American League.

1227
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:31,000
It started with a walk to Dickey and a single by Sam West.

1228
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,000
Go Mary.

1229
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:37,000
The successive bridges struck out, but Ross drove a triple into the far corner

1230
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:41,000
of right center field, scoring two runs,

1231
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:44,000
and then he scored when Charlie Geringer drove a ground ball into right field

1232
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:45,000
for a single.

1233
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:49,000
Now the score is five to one.

1234
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:52,000
Charlie Geringer is going to play with the American League in the last half of the fourth inning,

1235
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:54,000
and Joe DiMaggio is coming to bat.

1236
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:58,000
DiMaggio's had a perfect day so far with a walk and a hit.

1237
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:02,000
Now the pitch is getting a sign.

1238
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:04,000
And on first has a shortened back.

1239
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:08,000
The first pitch to DiMaggio is wide, shoulder high for a ball.

1240
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:13,000
Ball one.

1241
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:16,000
Nice to look into it, stop it up out there.

1242
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:18,000
Platton stands on the cooking rubber.

1243
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:21,000
And Charlie Geringer is content with a short lead over at first.

1244
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:23,000
He's edging now and keeping his lead a little bit.

1245
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:26,000
Here's the next pitch to DiMaggio with the half ball below the shoulders,

1246
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:32,000
right over the plate, and the counter's one and one on the hitter.

1247
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:33,000
Platton's getting his time now.

1248
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:35,000
He's ready for the next pitch.

1249
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:37,000
There's a, gee, there was a big hook on that one,

1250
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:40,000
and DiMaggio got a piece of it and rolled it off on the ground here to the left.

1251
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,000
A curved ball with a very sharp break.

1252
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:44,000
It was apparent up here in the stands.

1253
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:48,000
DiMaggio got a piece of it and followed it off on the ground to the left.

1254
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:58,000
Count is four one and strike two on Joe.

1255
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:01,000
Take his time out there again to get ball ready.

1256
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:04,000
Geringer edges off the first base.

1257
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:05,000
Now he's on the second pitch.

1258
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:06,000
There's a roller.

1259
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:09,000
Followed the left of the plate again on the ground.

1260
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:11,000
There was that sharp breaking curve again.

1261
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:14,000
DiMaggio couldn't get a hold of it solidly and followed it.

1262
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:20,000
Huckman is walking out to talk to Platton.

1263
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:24,000
American League is ahead in the last half of the fourth inning, five to one.

1264
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:28,000
DiPlatton goes back and picks up the rousing bag and drives his hand.

1265
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:30,000
He'll just tap down firmly on his head.

1266
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:33,000
Now he's ready.

1267
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:36,000
There's DiMaggio off at the plate.

1268
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:37,000
Geringer's edging off the first base.

1269
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:39,000
He has a long lead now.

1270
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:42,000
There's a third of first base and then he huckles back on the bag.

1271
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:44,000
Platton demise.

1272
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:48,000
Geringer gets back onto the bag and a hit.

1273
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:53,000
DiMaggio puts his head in the, throws the first base and again he has to hustle to get back.

1274
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:55,000
Geringer's on first.

1275
01:15:55,000 --> 01:16:00,000
He's still in the golden ruff.

1276
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:01,000
Then he's ready for the next pitch.

1277
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:06,000
DiMaggio took a wide one for me for a ball.

1278
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:10,000
The American League has made eight hits.

1279
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:13,000
The National League has made three hits.

1280
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:15,000
The American League has made five runs.

1281
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:21,000
The National League won runs.

1282
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:23,000
William Sucaw puts the man on first base for second.

1283
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:25,000
Now there's two going.

1284
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:26,000
There he goes.

1285
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:28,000
Right free.

1286
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:31,000
There's a curve ball right around his waist.

1287
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:36,000
DiMaggio swung hard, struck out and one man was left down the base.

1288
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:37,000
All right Tony.

1289
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:41,000
Well the American League has scored three runs in their half of the fourth inning.

1290
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:47,000
They've scored two runs in the third and the National League is scoring one in the fourth.

1291
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:49,000
In that particular inning for the American League is,

1292
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:51,000
Sloan and Platton out to Medwick and left.

1293
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:53,000
Dickey walked west, hit down the first base line.

1294
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:55,000
Dickey moving down to third.

1295
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:56,000
Bridges struck out.

1296
01:16:56,000 --> 01:17:00,000
Ratt stippled in the deep center, scoring west and Dickey.

1297
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:04,000
Dickey and just single the right scoring grass and then DiMaggio struck out.

1298
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:10,000
We pause now for station identification.

1299
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:16,000
This is WGM, the voice of the people, to Carcass.

1300
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:22,000
Ladies and gentlemen, we're going into the first half of the fifth inning now with the National League having quite a handicap here in front of them,

1301
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:24,000
a handicap being four runs.

1302
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:31,000
The American League is ahead five to one as we start the first half of the fifth and here's good old Gabby Harknett.

1303
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:33,000
The old Admiral and stuff up at the plate.

1304
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:36,000
The right-handed batter, Gabby Harknett of the Cubs.

1305
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:41,000
First pitch is a fast ball that's blowing outside the ball.

1306
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:49,000
The National League scored their run off of Bridges in the fourth inning on a single by Billy Herman, an infield out and a double by Medwick.

1307
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,000
Bridges is pitching to Harknett.

1308
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:54,000
A high-hits ball right through the box. It almost took a leg off of Bridges.

1309
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:57,000
Harknett slammed one on the ground right through the box.

1310
01:17:57,000 --> 01:18:01,000
It almost took Connie Bridges' leg off.

1311
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:03,000
Very high-hits ball.

1312
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:05,000
Next man to come up is Bartell.

1313
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:14,000
The National League hurries to warm up a pitcher, Grissom of Cincinnati, and there's a chance that we might get a prince fitter for Blanton.

1314
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:17,000
National League here is four runs behind.

1315
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:22,000
Here's Dick Bartell with shortstop coming up with a man on first. This is Bartell's second appearance at the plate.

1316
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:25,000
The National League has made four hits.

1317
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:29,000
Harknett's fifth in the first half of the fifth was hit number four.

1318
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:33,000
Herman, Vaughn, and Medwick have the other.

1319
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:36,000
He's ready with the fifth. There's a high fly in the left field.

1320
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:40,000
Stanley West is under it. Just moved in about two feet. He's looking high up in the air waiting for it.

1321
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:42,000
He's caught it, caught it off.

1322
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:45,000
Man on first base and one's on.

1323
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:50,000
There's a prince fitter coming up. Mel Otter's going to bat for Blanton.

1324
01:18:50,000 --> 01:19:00,000
Mel Otter of New York is coming up to bat for Sideblanton.

1325
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:05,000
I will have an announcement from the stands.

1326
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:10,000
There it is.

1327
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:16,000
Mel Otter batting for Blanton with a man on first.

1328
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:19,000
National League is on the spot here with Blanton.

1329
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:23,000
He came in to strike out to Maggio. He must be sacrificed to try to get some runs.

1330
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:27,000
Four runs behind. They have a man on first base and one's on.

1331
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:32,000
And Bill Perry is putting Otter in the bat for Blanton.

1332
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:34,000
Now Bridges is getting his time.

1333
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:38,000
First pitch for Little Mal is two-man for the ball.

1334
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:44,000
He's been in a bad slump up until the last two weeks when he started to bang that ball in old-time op fashion.

1335
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:49,000
Pitch is a strike. It's right around his knees and the count is one and one.

1336
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:54,000
Otter's not hitting anywhere near 300 since his style is average.

1337
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:57,000
Bridges getting his time again. Here's the next pitch to Otter.

1338
01:19:57,000 --> 01:20:00,000
Otter swings his hip one down the first baseline, a face-hip.

1339
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,000
Going far back into the right field corner.

1340
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:05,000
Here's Gabby Hightnett coming around the third and Otter fills up a second base.

1341
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:11,000
They double. High-drip ball down the first baseline between Garry and the line.

1342
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:17,000
It drips into, in short right field, just about a half a foot spare.

1343
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:23,000
Garry stuck out his left line to head the ball off and it went by him in the air about knee-high, but couldn't head it off.

1344
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:29,000
It rolled in right field and way down into the right field corner, back against the fence, and the Maggio fires it back into the infield.

1345
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:32,000
The Maggio to Garry, and Garry ran into the infield with the ball.

1346
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:35,000
Hightnett is on third, now Otter's on second.

1347
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:40,000
Next man to come up is Paul Wehner, last year's National League Batting Champion.

1348
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:50,000
Now there's the man on second and the man on third. Here's Wehner up.

1349
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:55,000
He's been up tight today with Otter here. He bounced out the first time.

1350
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:57,000
He's got a fly ball to the left field the second time.

1351
01:20:57,000 --> 01:20:59,000
Here's the pitch. It's in the dirt. A ball.

1352
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:09,000
Dickie has to go down on his knees and block that ball with his body to prevent a run from coming in.

1353
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:15,000
Man on second and man on third for the National League in the first half of the fifth.

1354
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:19,000
Tommy Bridges is getting his sign again from Bill Dickie.

1355
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:23,000
Here's the next pitch to Paul Wehner. He hits the fly ball into left field, left center field.

1356
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:27,000
Left fielder and the center fielder are both there, and the left fielder, West, called it.

1357
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:31,000
Here's Hocknett scoring and the score now is 5-2.

1358
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:34,000
Paul Wehner hit a fly ball to the left center field.

1359
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:41,000
The center fielder, April, and the left fielder, West, almost got mixed up on the ball in an Alphonse Gastamac.

1360
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:53,000
First one thought the other was going to take it, and finally West grabbed the ball.

1361
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:59,000
Here's Billy Herman coming up with the man on second. One run in. The score is 5-2 in favor of the American League.

1362
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:02,000
Two gone in the fifth inning.

1363
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:06,000
Herman has been up twice and has made one hit. Here's the pitch.

1364
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:12,000
It's a curve over the outside corner, way far for a called play.

1365
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:16,000
Donnie takes his glove off, looks back around the infield and the outfield to see what everybody can play.

1366
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:26,000
Gallagher first, Garendu at second, Coleman short, Rolf third, DiMaggio in right field, Abril in center field, West in left field, Bridgett fixing, and Vicki six.

1367
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:32,000
Two out on the man on second. Herman hits a line drive, Rolf knocks down, picks up, going to be a close play at first.

1368
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:47,000
Vicki is safe. I believe it will be called a hit. It was a line drive which Rolf leaps for. They're calling it an error for Rolf.

1369
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:52,000
They call it an error for Rolf. They say that Rolf should have held it, and he gets an error.

1370
01:22:52,000 --> 01:23:03,000
Here's the man on first and the man on third for the National League, and it brings up Archie Vaughan.

1371
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:13,000
A hard hit ball about a foot or two over Rolf's head. He leaps up and had the ball in his hand and got away from him, went behind him, and the official scorer charges Rolf with an error.

1372
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:23,000
Herman on first, Elad on third, and brings up Archie Vaughan. Enough spice has made one hit. Fast ball, a little bit too close at the knee, ball one.

1373
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:29,000
It scores the American League five and the National League two. National League gets that in the first half of the fifth.

1374
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:35,000
Tommy Bridges the right-hander on the mound. Archie Vaughan is up at the plate. He's ready.

1375
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:44,000
There's a high foul over to the right. Gary gets getting over under it outside of first base about 20 feet from the bag and has it with R in the side.

1376
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:51,000
Archie Vaughan with a high foul just outside of first base about 15 or 20 feet of a puck by Gary and he repires the side.

1377
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:59,000
Two men are left on the bases. That's the end of the first half of the fifth inning, and here's Tony Waxman to send a good one home.

1378
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:06,000
As we go into the last half of the fifth inning, the ball game stands the American Leagueers five and the National Leagueers two.

1379
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:14,000
Quite a bit of action in that particular inning. Harknett's single out the center. Barkell fly to west and left, and then Mellott went in as a pinch hitter for five-latton.

1380
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:24,000
He doubled down the first baseline. Harknett's pulling up a third. Paul Wehner came up and fly to center. Harknett's scoring after the catch.

1381
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:34,000
Grissom is now pitching for the National Leagueers, just throwing out the mom. And then Herman followed Paul Wehner. He drove the rock with drops the ball, hot moving down to third.

1382
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:40,000
And then Archie Vaughan, then a high foul down the first baseline to Lou Gary and retiring the side.

1383
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:44,000
We're going into the last half of the fifth inning. Okay, Bob.

1384
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:49,000
Well, here's Lou Grissom of Cincinnati, one of the few first-year men to make an all-star team.

1385
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:54,000
He didn't last year, but they don't do it very often and won't do it very often in the future.

1386
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:58,000
Grissom, a left-hander, who has a fine record this year for Cincinnati.

1387
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:02,000
All left-handers on the mound now. Replace Flanton. He's taken out for a pinch hitter.

1388
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:08,000
And we're starting the last half of the fifth inning with a score of five to two in favor of the American League.

1389
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:24,000
He's going to be the first man up. Gary gets in up twice. In this case, we saw each extreme. The first time, he struck out. The second time, he hit a home run.

1390
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:30,000
Now we're starting the last half of the fifth inning. There's a change in the umpires now.

1391
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:45,000
The National League goes behind the plate. Humpire Barr is going back to the plate. McGon, who's been behind the plate, is going down to third.

1392
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:50,000
Dave Pennelli is over at second, and Quinn goes to first.

1393
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:54,000
With the balance of the ball game, the National League umpire will be behind the plate.

1394
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:57,000
Here's the first pitch to Gary. Gets a strike right around his knee.

1395
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:03,000
Brissom is pitching a left-hander. That time up, Gary blasted the home run drive way over the right field fence.

1396
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:08,000
Nobody on and nobody out in the last half of the fifth inning. The American League ahead five to two.

1397
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:16,000
Here's the next pitch. He's won that time at a fastball around his knee. He tried to stop, but the umpire says it was a strike anyway.

1398
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:25,000
Gary tried to stop his swing, but the umpire said regardless of whether or not he went more than halfway around, the pitch was a strike.

1399
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:30,000
So it's two strikes now on Gary. With Brissom getting all set again, here's the next pitch.

1400
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:38,000
A little bit too low. Keeping them in low and outside for Gary, and that pitch was a little bit too low, and it's a ball.

1401
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:50,000
Next man to come up will be Averell and then Quinn. The American League is ahead five to two.

1402
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:56,000
Gary's up at the plate. Here's the next pitch. He started his swing, but he stopped his swing.

1403
01:26:56,000 --> 01:27:00,000
The umpire sees a ball, and Hotnet is complaining about it.

1404
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:05,000
Gary started his swing at a low outside pitch. He stopped his swing.

1405
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:11,000
Hotnet claims the umpire was a deal. He could have gone more than halfway around, and the umpire says no.

1406
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:17,000
The count is two and two on the back.

1407
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:21,000
Four fine umpires out here today, and they're doing a very credible job.

1408
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:25,000
Here comes the next pitch. Here's a fastball right down the middle, and he's out on strike.

1409
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:30,000
Brissom's struck out, Gary. A fastball right down the middle, way high.

1410
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:38,000
He wasn't expecting the pitch so good. With a count two and two, he thought Brissom had worked him on one, but he hit one right down the alley, and Gary got on strike.

1411
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:43,000
Here's the center fielder, Earl Avery.

1412
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:51,000
That's twice today that Gary gets struck out. Avery was in a fight. He's made one hit.

1413
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:58,000
Now Brissom is getting his time. Here's the pitch. Twice he's thrown at a sidearm curveball and missed it.

1414
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:08,000
This lad has lots of dough. Lots of stuff on that ball.

1415
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:15,000
That's his pitching hand across the front of his uniform. He's wearing a gray Cincinnati uniform with a black cap and a bright red suit.

1416
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:18,000
Red stocking. That's the sky.

1417
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:25,000
Fastball right down the middle, and Al Avery swung. He swung from his heels that time and missed it.

1418
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:33,000
Brissom is showing the fans out here an awful lot of pitching in his day two in an all-star game.

1419
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:41,000
He whistled during a hard hit. This won this spot on.

1420
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:45,000
We're back when simplest pitch.

1421
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:49,840
And it's four этому.

1422
01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:52,760
Well, that's a great instantly Проian flop down before a

1423
01:28:55,620 --> 01:28:58,000
two- Two-

1424
01:28:58,000 --> 01:28:58,800
Here's the

1425
01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:00,300
So step on that ball.

1426
01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:08,120
Listen, watch his clicking hands across the front of his uniform.

1427
01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:11,780
He's wearing a gray Cincinnati uniform with a black cap and a bright red suit.

1428
01:29:12,480 --> 01:29:13,800
Red stockings.

1429
01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:18,160
That's the guy who did that fastball, that's the one right down the middle.

1430
01:29:18,160 --> 01:29:20,160
And how a real trunk.

1431
01:29:20,160 --> 01:29:22,160
He's trunked for the steals that time in this one.

1432
01:29:22,740 --> 01:29:25,960
We're showing the fans out here an awful lot of picking in Asia.

1433
01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:27,960
They do in a non-star game.

1434
01:29:29,960 --> 01:29:31,960
He strikes a neighbor-ill.

1435
01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:38,960
Getting all set up there again. Here's the next pitch.

1436
01:29:38,960 --> 01:29:39,960
Strike three.

1437
01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:40,960
Stuck in that.

1438
01:29:40,960 --> 01:29:41,960
Throw in a curve ball.

1439
01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:43,960
A round of these and struck out.

1440
01:29:44,960 --> 01:29:46,960
That's two-one.

1441
01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:56,960
Next man to come up his corner.

1442
01:29:57,960 --> 01:30:00,960
His record this year is one seven games and lost six.

1443
01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:02,960
Grissom, in second to matter,

1444
01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:05,960
is pulling up at the plate with two out and nobody on the bases.

1445
01:30:05,960 --> 01:30:07,960
The first pitch is too long inside the ball.

1446
01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:12,960
Ball one.

1447
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:19,960
Nobody on the two-one. Two strikes off this and in for Grissom.

1448
01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:21,960
Next pitch is coming.

1449
01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:23,960
He's one of the bad pitchers that time.

1450
01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:25,960
Low and inside.

1451
01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:26,960
He strikes.

1452
01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:29,960
Joe strives to swing and then Fizer stops his swing.

1453
01:30:29,960 --> 01:30:34,960
And he turns around out of the crowd with a big smile on his face.

1454
01:30:34,960 --> 01:30:38,960
He looks out on the pitch.

1455
01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:40,960
Thought he took it like a real sport.

1456
01:30:40,960 --> 01:30:43,960
Nobody on the bases for the American League and the last half of the fifth inning.

1457
01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:45,960
The American League five to two.

1458
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:46,960
Grissom is ready.

1459
01:30:46,960 --> 01:30:47,960
Here's the next pitch.

1460
01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:48,960
A fast foul.

1461
01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:49,960
He hits one base.

1462
01:30:49,960 --> 01:30:50,960
He goes to the first base from his head.

1463
01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:53,960
He's going down to the right field corner against the wall.

1464
01:30:53,960 --> 01:30:55,960
And Joe is on his way to second base with a double to return it.

1465
01:30:55,960 --> 01:31:00,960
Pull and double against the right field fifth.

1466
01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:09,960
Right down into the right field corner.

1467
01:31:09,960 --> 01:31:12,960
That is hit number nine for the American League.

1468
01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:22,960
The next man to come up is the catcher, electronic batter, Bill Bickes.

1469
01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:25,960
Grissom takes a lot of time out there getting ready.

1470
01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:28,960
Joe's corner on second base.

1471
01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:33,960
Bill Bickes' record so far today, he has a hit and a walk.

1472
01:31:33,960 --> 01:31:37,960
Grissom is ready to pitch to him.

1473
01:31:37,960 --> 01:31:39,960
Here's the next pitch.

1474
01:31:39,960 --> 01:31:44,960
Dickie's pitch is inside, way high, and it's a ball.

1475
01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:50,960
Going along second base, the American League ahead five to two in their batting in the last half of the fifth.

1476
01:31:50,960 --> 01:31:52,960
Grissom is pitching to Dickie.

1477
01:31:52,960 --> 01:31:53,960
Here's the next pitch.

1478
01:31:53,960 --> 01:31:56,960
He flams a fly ball way out into right center field.

1479
01:31:56,960 --> 01:31:57,960
He's going to drop for a lip.

1480
01:31:57,960 --> 01:31:59,960
It goes back against the fence.

1481
01:31:59,960 --> 01:32:00,960
Bender is picking it up.

1482
01:32:00,960 --> 01:32:01,960
He's coming around second.

1483
01:32:01,960 --> 01:32:02,960
He's on his way to third.

1484
01:32:02,960 --> 01:32:04,960
The relay may go back to second.

1485
01:32:04,960 --> 01:32:07,960
As the relay started to come in fast, Dickie went back to second.

1486
01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:16,960
It was a double in the right center field by Bill Bickes, going to have a run for the American League and makes his score six to two in their face.

1487
01:32:16,960 --> 01:32:25,960
Now the next man to come up is the lefty, Lurtz, Sam Lurtz.

1488
01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:28,960
Two doubles in a row after two loss.

1489
01:32:28,960 --> 01:32:31,960
He struck out Gary, and he struck out Abraham.

1490
01:32:31,960 --> 01:32:34,960
So are the doubles and Dickie doubles.

1491
01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:37,960
And now the lefty, Lurtz, Sam Lurtz is up with the man on second and two go.

1492
01:32:37,960 --> 01:32:39,960
Here's the fifth.

1493
01:32:39,960 --> 01:32:41,960
Hathland led up around his neck.

1494
01:32:41,960 --> 01:32:47,960
He's strung high to miss.

1495
01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:50,960
American League leading six to two.

1496
01:32:50,960 --> 01:32:51,960
Here's the next pitch.

1497
01:32:51,960 --> 01:32:52,960
It's low outside.

1498
01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:53,960
There's a throw to second.

1499
01:32:53,960 --> 01:32:56,960
He's back safely.

1500
01:32:56,960 --> 01:33:02,960
Art Taylor put the ball on the runner and would skirt it into the bag, and then the ball rolled out of his glove, but the man was safe anyway.

1501
01:33:02,960 --> 01:33:10,960
Art sent through to second, trying to pick Dickie off.

1502
01:33:10,960 --> 01:33:13,960
Weston starting with a teammate on second base.

1503
01:33:13,960 --> 01:33:14,960
Winston is getting it done.

1504
01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:16,960
Here's the next pitch.

1505
01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:20,960
There's a pop-up in the infield that's caught by Vaughn.

1506
01:33:20,960 --> 01:33:27,960
Just about five feet inside the third baseline, just behind the bag, and it retires the start.

1507
01:33:27,960 --> 01:33:29,960
A little pop-up right in the Vaughn's hand.

1508
01:33:29,960 --> 01:33:32,960
One man is left on the base, and that's the end of the fifth inning.

1509
01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:34,960
All right, Tony, wait.

1510
01:33:34,960 --> 01:33:39,960
And the score at the end of the fifth inning is the American Leagueers six and the National Leagueers two.

1511
01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:45,960
The Americans scoring two runs in the third, three in the fourth, and one in the fifth.

1512
01:33:45,960 --> 01:33:49,960
The National scoring one in the fourth and one in the fifth.

1513
01:33:49,960 --> 01:33:56,960
This is the 1937 All-Star ball game coming to you from Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C.

1514
01:33:56,960 --> 01:33:59,960
Winston struck out the first two men in that inning.

1515
01:33:59,960 --> 01:34:01,960
Then Coleman Kimuck doubled out the right.

1516
01:34:01,960 --> 01:34:06,960
Dickie doubled to beat Thomas scoring four men, and then West caught Denezey

1517
01:34:06,960 --> 01:34:10,960
and went down the third baseline to Archie Vaughn retiring the side.

1518
01:34:10,960 --> 01:34:16,960
At the end of the fifth, the Americans six and the National two, and the pop-ups.

1519
01:34:16,960 --> 01:34:21,960
Well, there are no changes. We've reshuffed the first half of the sixth inning of this four game.

1520
01:34:21,960 --> 01:34:26,960
The American League starting team is still in touch out there with the national exception of the pitcher.

1521
01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:31,960
Tommy Burgers is still on the mound, and Potter is going to be the number three pitcher for the American League.

1522
01:34:31,960 --> 01:34:33,960
Here's Dickie coming out, Luke Sewell.

1523
01:34:33,960 --> 01:34:37,960
The White Sox catcher takes a few factors close from Burgers.

1524
01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:41,960
The first round of the national league and the first half of the sixth will be middle.

1525
01:34:41,960 --> 01:34:46,960
The National League is four runs behind.

1526
01:34:46,960 --> 01:34:52,960
Medwick has been up five feet, has gone here to double.

1527
01:34:52,960 --> 01:34:58,960
By Lincoln-Dickie, nobody on and nobody out.

1528
01:34:58,960 --> 01:35:05,960
Medwick swings and fires the ball up into the net, one strike.

1529
01:35:05,960 --> 01:35:10,960
The American League is leading in the sixth inning, six to three.

1530
01:35:10,960 --> 01:35:18,960
They've made ten hits. The National League has made five.

1531
01:35:18,960 --> 01:35:23,960
Burgers getting his sign again from Dickie.

1532
01:35:23,960 --> 01:35:26,960
Here's the wind up in the next pitch to Medwick.

1533
01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:30,960
He slams one over the second base and hits the hip, going into right center field.

1534
01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:34,960
DiMaggio gets over fast, fires it back in, and Medwick stops dead first.

1535
01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:39,960
DiMaggio shows the boys some fancy footwork and some fast feeling out there,

1536
01:35:39,960 --> 01:35:42,960
and he raced over to that line wide over the second baseman's head,

1537
01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:48,960
landed in right center field, and some fast feeling by DiMaggio all into a single.

1538
01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:56,960
Next man to come up is Demary.

1539
01:35:56,960 --> 01:36:03,960
That's it from the two for Medwick.

1540
01:36:03,960 --> 01:36:07,960
Here's the right-hander off of the plate, right Demary.

1541
01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:11,960
First pitch he fouls up into the upper tier of the grandstand, one strike.

1542
01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:13,960
Demary's hit up tight.

1543
01:36:13,960 --> 01:36:16,960
First time he's hit a fly ball into center field.

1544
01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:19,960
The next time he's hit a fly ball into right field.

1545
01:36:19,960 --> 01:36:25,960
So shooting for that first hit, he's got to deal with Medwick on first.

1546
01:36:25,960 --> 01:36:27,960
Burgers getting his sign out there now.

1547
01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:30,960
Here's the next pitch. It's Mullen outside the flank of the ball.

1548
01:36:30,960 --> 01:36:36,960
Four to six to three, and the American League, National League batting in the first half of the sixth.

1549
01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:42,960
That's a warm-up for the American League.

1550
01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:44,960
He's getting his sign out there now.

1551
01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:47,960
There's a hard hit ball down the third base, on 19th.

1552
01:36:47,960 --> 01:36:48,960
It's a rip.

1553
01:36:48,960 --> 01:36:50,960
This red was coming along second out of way before.

1554
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:52,960
Demary is stopping it first.

1555
01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:54,960
It's a rip.

1556
01:36:54,960 --> 01:36:57,960
Hard hit ball is through well.

1557
01:36:57,960 --> 01:36:58,960
Not a chance to hit that ball out.

1558
01:36:58,960 --> 01:37:03,960
That was a very hard on the ground, about eight or nine feet from the line.

1559
01:37:03,960 --> 01:37:06,960
He's not going to die for the ball, he's right.

1560
01:37:06,960 --> 01:37:07,960
He couldn't hit it out.

1561
01:37:07,960 --> 01:37:09,960
And it's a single for Frank Demary.

1562
01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:14,960
He's up this yellow line for the man on first and the man on third.

1563
01:37:14,960 --> 01:37:21,960
It's towards the American League six and the 19th League team.

1564
01:37:21,960 --> 01:37:23,960
That was Frank Demary's first hit.

1565
01:37:23,960 --> 01:37:25,960
This yellow line, he's been up twice about a hit.

1566
01:37:25,960 --> 01:37:30,960
It's a bone in the ground, Sykes.

1567
01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:34,960
He's got it on the sixth inning, nationally trying to get a lot of going here.

1568
01:37:34,960 --> 01:37:36,960
Sixth inning of the Orange Tigers.

1569
01:37:36,960 --> 01:37:39,960
The first pitch to Johnny Mize was across his eyes for the horn.

1570
01:37:39,960 --> 01:37:49,960
Too hard.

1571
01:37:49,960 --> 01:37:54,960
Left hand hitter up at the plate.

1572
01:37:54,960 --> 01:37:57,960
He swung that time and missed it.

1573
01:37:57,960 --> 01:38:01,960
Right around his knees and the foul is bowled while he's striking for live.

1574
01:38:01,960 --> 01:38:05,960
Man on first.

1575
01:38:05,960 --> 01:38:09,960
Man on third for the National League and Johnny Mize is up at the plate.

1576
01:38:09,960 --> 01:38:10,960
Pitchers get ready.

1577
01:38:10,960 --> 01:38:13,960
There's a high fly in the center field.

1578
01:38:13,960 --> 01:38:15,960
The center fielder, Avery Willis, is on the road crossing now.

1579
01:38:15,960 --> 01:38:17,960
When he catches it, Medley goes back for him.

1580
01:38:17,960 --> 01:38:22,960
Here he comes and Demary saves it first.

1581
01:38:22,960 --> 01:38:23,960
No play at the plate.

1582
01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:30,960
There's a high fly in the center field, Avery Willis, on which Medley scores from third.

1583
01:38:30,960 --> 01:38:38,960
Score is six to three.

1584
01:38:38,960 --> 01:38:39,960
Here's Gabby up.

1585
01:38:39,960 --> 01:38:45,960
He's been up five and has made one hit.

1586
01:38:45,960 --> 01:38:50,960
Gabby hard hit up.

1587
01:38:50,960 --> 01:38:53,960
Manchusso is warming up down the left field line.

1588
01:38:53,960 --> 01:38:56,960
Looks like Jeff may go back at the plate in face of Hartnett.

1589
01:38:56,960 --> 01:39:00,960
First trip to Gabby is a strike over the outside corner and he's hard.

1590
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:04,960
National League on fire, George Fier is not back at the plate.

1591
01:39:04,960 --> 01:39:07,960
Stay there for the balance of the game.

1592
01:39:07,960 --> 01:39:08,960
Thanks, Demary, on first base.

1593
01:39:08,960 --> 01:39:11,960
A run in to the National League on the first half of the sixth inning.

1594
01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:14,960
Tommy Dickey, picking up Gabby Hartnett.

1595
01:39:14,960 --> 01:39:16,960
Third ball to hit the ground ball with his second base from Ganger.

1596
01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:17,960
Over to second base out.

1597
01:39:17,960 --> 01:39:18,960
Back over to first base.

1598
01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:20,960
No other play.

1599
01:39:20,960 --> 01:39:23,960
Nice play at second base.

1600
01:39:23,960 --> 01:39:24,960
Ganger to Cronin.

1601
01:39:24,960 --> 01:39:26,960
Ganger went to root left.

1602
01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:30,960
That's to the first base, that's the second baseman for Hartnett's ground ball.

1603
01:39:30,960 --> 01:39:32,960
It looks like it might go into right field.

1604
01:39:32,960 --> 01:39:35,960
Here to Cronin, fourth stop Demary a second.

1605
01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:36,960
Hot-headed take of third.

1606
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:44,960
Here's the third stop, Cartel.

1607
01:39:44,960 --> 01:39:48,960
Cartel has been up twice without a hit.

1608
01:39:48,960 --> 01:39:50,960
There's a runner going down.

1609
01:39:50,960 --> 01:39:55,960
A runner, George Fier, hit is going to run for Hartnett.

1610
01:39:55,960 --> 01:40:06,960
There's the announcement.

1611
01:40:06,960 --> 01:40:13,960
George Fier hit is down to run for Hartnett and Mankito come back at the plate while the National League next inning.

1612
01:40:13,960 --> 01:40:15,960
The last stop of their turning.

1613
01:40:15,960 --> 01:40:18,960
Here's Dick Cartel, he's been up twice without a hit.

1614
01:40:18,960 --> 01:40:22,960
He's just wide-headed on first.

1615
01:40:22,960 --> 01:40:27,960
He's swung at the first pitch and missed it, a curve ball that's flowing right around his knee.

1616
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:33,960
Here's Gabby going into the dugout right from ours.

1617
01:40:33,960 --> 01:40:35,960
American League leading 6-3.

1618
01:40:35,960 --> 01:40:37,960
Ball game is in the sixth inning.

1619
01:40:37,960 --> 01:40:43,960
Here's a ground ball to the third baseman Rob to get it off his glove.

1620
01:40:43,960 --> 01:40:46,960
There's a fourth player first base.

1621
01:40:46,960 --> 01:40:47,960
He's safe.

1622
01:40:47,960 --> 01:40:49,960
It's a narrow for Ross, the third baseman.

1623
01:40:49,960 --> 01:40:53,960
A ground ball to rip to his left side of hand on the ground and fumble it.

1624
01:40:53,960 --> 01:40:57,960
The NRIs are going to get a batter.

1625
01:40:57,960 --> 01:41:00,960
Gifford is going to be taken off for a pin-fitter.

1626
01:41:00,960 --> 01:41:02,960
It was a narrow for Ross.

1627
01:41:02,960 --> 01:41:04,960
The ball bounded after his glove into Cronin's hands.

1628
01:41:04,960 --> 01:41:08,960
Cronin moves to throw the first base and missed it and bycrell on a tight play.

1629
01:41:08,960 --> 01:41:12,960
It's an error for Ross.

1630
01:41:12,960 --> 01:41:15,960
We're going to get a pin-fitter now for Dixon.

1631
01:41:15,960 --> 01:41:19,960
Van Wendel Mungo is warming up for the National League.

Lipp Collins of the Chicago Cubs, a six-fitter, is batting left-handed here against Tommy Bridges' right-hander.

1639
01:41:49,960 --> 01:41:55,960
With the man on first and the man on second, and the National League still putting up a fight here to overcome this handicap.

1640
01:41:55,960 --> 01:41:57,960
A free run.

1641
01:41:57,960 --> 01:42:01,960
Man on first and the man on second and Collins is batting left-handed against Tommy Bridges.

1642
01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:03,960
Two-goal on the first top of the sixth.

1643
01:42:03,960 --> 01:42:05,960
First pick, he hits a block.

1644
01:42:05,960 --> 01:42:07,960
Dixon on the right-hander.

1645
01:42:07,960 --> 01:42:09,960
He's going to start it, coming around third base.

1646
01:42:09,960 --> 01:42:10,960
Here's the fourth.

1647
01:42:10,960 --> 01:42:12,960
And De'Niose, going to be first.

1648
01:42:12,960 --> 01:42:14,960
He's out of the play.

1649
01:42:14,960 --> 01:42:17,960
De'Niose through the guarding of the play.

1650
01:42:17,960 --> 01:42:19,960
And Bridges' right-hand is out.

1651
01:42:19,960 --> 01:42:22,960
And De'Niose, perfect throw to Dixon.

1652
01:42:22,960 --> 01:42:24,960
It is a very thrilling play.

1653
01:42:24,960 --> 01:42:26,960
And the crowd is standing up now.

1654
01:42:26,960 --> 01:42:29,960
Maristock is absolutely speeding with excitement.

1655
01:42:29,960 --> 01:42:32,960
He's got to hit the first ball, fixing the right field.

1656
01:42:32,960 --> 01:42:33,960
A clean single.

1657
01:42:33,960 --> 01:42:36,960
Bridges' right-hand, caught from second to long third base.

1658
01:42:36,960 --> 01:42:40,960
De'Niose, you'll fire the ball from right field on the line in the 15th block.

1659
01:42:40,960 --> 01:42:47,960
And Bridges' right-hand made a frantic slide into the play and is tasked to retire the shot.

1660
01:42:47,960 --> 01:42:49,960
It's only better about that feeling of it.

1661
01:42:49,960 --> 01:42:54,960
Well, he certainly had a lot of action in that inning, and I know that Bob told you all about it.

1662
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:57,960
The guys are still mumbling about it, talking to each other.

1663
01:42:57,960 --> 01:43:01,960
Some arguing that it was, and it was not safe.

1664
01:43:01,960 --> 01:43:07,960
And he was out of the play, and it was a very, very fine play.

1665
01:43:07,960 --> 01:43:12,960
You are listening to the All-Star Game from Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C.

1666
01:43:12,960 --> 01:43:15,960
We pause now for a safe identification.

1667
01:43:15,960 --> 01:43:19,960
The WGN, the voice of the people, Chicago.

1668
01:43:19,960 --> 01:43:23,960
Back at Griffith Stadium again, and into the ball game.

1669
01:43:23,960 --> 01:43:25,960
We're going into the last half of the sixth inning.

1670
01:43:25,960 --> 01:43:30,960
And the score of the American League is 6, the Nationals 3.

1671
01:43:30,960 --> 01:43:32,960
And back with Bob Elk.

1672
01:43:32,960 --> 01:43:34,960
Thank you, Tony. Well, we have a new battery now.

1673
01:43:34,960 --> 01:43:37,960
Van Lingo Mungo, the speedball king of the Brooklyn Dodgers,

1674
01:43:37,960 --> 01:43:40,960
is coming into picture now for the National League.

1675
01:43:40,960 --> 01:43:47,960
Van Lingo Mungo, the catcher in stuff Manchucho of New York.

1676
01:43:47,960 --> 01:43:49,960

1678
01:43:54,960 --> 01:44:08,960
Van Lingo gets a hand.

1679
01:44:08,960 --> 01:44:17,960
We're going to get a clean-sitter, too, for the American League, Fox.

1680
01:44:17,960 --> 01:44:20,960
Fox is going to pass, coming up with a clean-sitter, the Bachelorette.

1681
01:44:20,960 --> 01:44:25,960
The score is 6-3 in favor of the American League as we start the last half of the sixth inning.

1682
01:44:25,960 --> 01:44:28,960
We just had a very thrilling play here at the plate when DiMaggio,

1683
01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:32,960
the brilliant outfielder of the New York Yankees, threw a gorgeous white hit,

1684
01:44:32,960 --> 01:44:35,960
attempting to score for second base on Collins's team hit in the right field.

1685
01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:40,960
It was higher the side and ended the first half of the sixth inning with a very thrilling play.

1686
01:44:40,960 --> 01:44:43,960
He was close to the plate. The umpire called him up.

1687
01:44:43,960 --> 01:44:46,960
Here's Jimmy Fox up now, right-handed batter.

1688
01:44:46,960 --> 01:44:49,960
Now harder will be the next pitcher for the American League.

1689
01:44:49,960 --> 01:44:53,960
Van Lingo-Mongo, he's won nine in raw seven.

1690
01:44:53,960 --> 01:44:55,960
The first pitch is low and outside.

1691
01:44:55,960 --> 01:44:57,960
A fastball, ball one.

1692
01:44:57,960 --> 01:45:00,960
The American League, six, and the National League, three.

1693
01:45:00,960 --> 01:45:02,960
We're at the ballgame in the last half of the sixth.

01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:11,960
Billy Herman at second, Mize at first.

1697
01:45:11,960 --> 01:45:14,960

1698
01:45:14,960 --> 01:45:19,960
Fastball over the outside corner, new high to Fox with the called strike.

1699
01:45:19,960 --> 01:45:26,960
Ball winner, playing right field, Demery in center field, Medwick in left.

1700
01:45:26,960 --> 01:45:31,960
The next pitcher for the American League will be Mel Harder.

1701
01:45:31,960 --> 01:45:33,960
Mungo's getting ready. Here's the next pitch to Fox.

1702
01:45:33,960 --> 01:45:36,960
There's a pounding ball at Mungo. He's good to be an easy off.

1703
01:45:36,960 --> 01:45:38,960
Mungo to Mize, he's out for the first down.

1704
01:45:38,960 --> 01:45:43,960
Fox, that is for the pitcher Tommy Bridges and bounce to Mungo.

1705
01:45:43,960 --> 01:45:51,960
Here's the leadoff man, Redd Rolfe.

1706
01:45:51,960 --> 01:45:56,960
Rolfe has got a busy time down there at the hot corner today.

1707
01:45:56,960 --> 01:45:58,960
He's been up three times, he's made one hit.

1708
01:45:58,960 --> 01:46:00,960
He's rolled in two runs with a long siffle.

1709
01:46:00,960 --> 01:46:08,960
Now he's chasing Mungo.

1710
01:46:08,960 --> 01:46:10,960
Now the wind up in the first pitch.

1711
01:46:10,960 --> 01:46:13,960
Fastball low and inside for the ball.

1712
01:46:13,960 --> 01:46:19,960
Dutchman's 2-0, these fine little catches of the New York Giants is now behind the plate.

1713
01:46:19,960 --> 01:46:25,960
With the blights coming in, very hot day.

1714
01:46:25,960 --> 01:46:31,960
Maxley and Gimpeelers talking up out there, scouting words of encouragement to Mungo.

1715
01:46:31,960 --> 01:46:37,960
Mungo watches his pitching hand, his right hand across the front of his uniform.

1716
01:46:37,960 --> 01:46:41,960
Fastball inside the ball.

1717
01:46:41,960 --> 01:46:43,960
Ball two for Rolfe, batting left-handed.

1718
01:46:43,960 --> 01:46:53,960
Mungo has a great uniform with bright green stockings and a bright green cap.

1719
01:46:53,960 --> 01:46:56,960
One out and nobody on in the last half of the sixth.

1720
01:46:56,960 --> 01:46:59,960
The American leads six, the national leads three.

1721
01:46:59,960 --> 01:47:02,960
Kelly Herman makes a lot of noise out there at second base.

1722
01:47:02,960 --> 01:47:07,960
McFarquell has a short stop.

1723
01:47:07,960 --> 01:47:08,960
Archie Horne is the third baseman.

1724
01:47:08,960 --> 01:47:10,960

1725
01:47:10,960 --> 01:47:11,960
Here's the fifth.

1726
01:47:11,960 --> 01:47:13,960
Rolfe looks at a low fastball.

1727
01:47:13,960 --> 01:47:15,960
Ball free.

1728
01:47:15,960 --> 01:47:18,960
Next man to come up will be Charlie Geringer.

1729
01:47:18,960 --> 01:47:21,960
The president seems to be enjoying the game immensely.

1730
01:47:21,960 --> 01:47:30,960
He's in the first row of the boxers, right over the American lead dugout, which is behind first.

1731
01:47:30,960 --> 01:47:32,960
He's long, ball four. He walks it.

1732
01:47:32,960 --> 01:47:39,960
Ned Rolfe, the leadoff man of the American league, gets the base on board.

1733
01:47:39,960 --> 01:47:50,960
Here's Charlie Geringer. He's been up three times and has made one hit.

1734
01:47:50,960 --> 01:47:56,960
Charlie Geringer up at the plate.

1735
01:47:56,960 --> 01:48:03,960
Monzo keeps an eye on the man on first base. He has a short leadoff.

1736
01:48:03,960 --> 01:48:05,960
Now he's all set.

1737
01:48:05,960 --> 01:48:07,960
The pitch.

1738
01:48:07,960 --> 01:48:10,960
There's a high hit ball in the left field.

1739
01:48:10,960 --> 01:48:12,960
Here's the left fielder coming in, taking the ball on the bounce.

1740
01:48:12,960 --> 01:48:15,960
It's a hit for Geringer right over the shortstop pit.

1741
01:48:15,960 --> 01:48:16,960
A liner in the left field.

1742
01:48:16,960 --> 01:48:18,960
He puts a man on first and a man on second.

1743
01:48:18,960 --> 01:48:20,960
And there's Geringer's second hit.

1744
01:48:20,960 --> 01:48:25,960
Brings up Joe DiMaggio, getting a hand from the crowd for that beautiful throw from right field,

1745
01:48:25,960 --> 01:48:36,960
which nips a National League rally in the first half of his inning.

1746
01:48:36,960 --> 01:48:39,960
DiMaggio walks the first time. He failed the second time.

1747
01:48:39,960 --> 01:48:42,960
He struck out the third time.

1748
01:48:42,960 --> 01:48:46,960
He was struck out by first.

1749
01:48:46,960 --> 01:48:51,960
Now Rolfe is on second. Geringer is on first.

1750
01:48:51,960 --> 01:48:53,960
Here's the pitch.

1751
01:48:53,960 --> 01:48:56,960
Right over the plate, waist high for a called strike.

1752
01:48:56,960 --> 01:49:01,960
Van Lingo Mungo is picking.

1753
01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:05,960
Mungo picks up the rousin bag and drives his hand carefully.

1754
01:49:05,960 --> 01:49:12,960
Gora's six to three in favor of the American League.

1755
01:49:12,960 --> 01:49:14,960
He takes his time out there again and gets all ready.

1756
01:49:14,960 --> 01:49:15,960
Here's the next hit.

1757
01:49:15,960 --> 01:49:18,960
He's sprung that time at a shot breaking curve and missed it.

1758
01:49:18,960 --> 01:49:21,960
And it's two strikes on Joe DiMaggio.

1759
01:49:21,960 --> 01:49:25,960
A lot of dope on that one.

1760
01:49:25,960 --> 01:49:27,960
Over the outside corner, knee high.

1761
01:49:27,960 --> 01:49:31,960
And DiMaggio took a wicked swing and missed.

1762
01:49:31,960 --> 01:49:34,960
Mungo pulls that green cap of his firmly down on his head.

1763
01:49:34,960 --> 01:49:36,960
Takes his position out there on the rubber.

1764
01:49:36,960 --> 01:49:38,960
Man on first, the man on second for the American League.

1765
01:49:38,960 --> 01:49:39,960
One out, hit.

1766
01:49:39,960 --> 01:49:41,960
Strike three, struck him out.

1767
01:49:41,960 --> 01:49:44,960
Fastball over the outside corner, shoulder high.

1768
01:49:44,960 --> 01:49:47,960
DiMaggio struck out for the second time.

1769
01:49:47,960 --> 01:49:52,960
He's hit up Garret.

1770
01:49:52,960 --> 01:49:55,960
Garret struck out the first time, hit a home run the second time,

1771
01:49:55,960 --> 01:50:01,960
struck out the third time.

1772
01:50:01,960 --> 01:50:04,960
Gary is up on the plate now with two men on the bases.

1773
01:50:04,960 --> 01:50:08,960
Basing Van Lingo Mungo.

1774
01:50:08,960 --> 01:50:10,960
Mungo gets his time to Manchito.

1775
01:50:10,960 --> 01:50:11,960
He's all set out there.

1776
01:50:11,960 --> 01:50:12,960
There's a throw.

1777
01:50:12,960 --> 01:50:13,960
Nope, he didn't throw it.

1778
01:50:13,960 --> 01:50:16,960
He turned around to throw the second base from by tail.

1779
01:50:16,960 --> 01:50:18,960
He threw it in behind Rolfe.

1780
01:50:18,960 --> 01:50:20,960
But he saw the play would be too close and didn't throw the ball.

1781
01:50:20,960 --> 01:50:23,960
Rolfe has already shot it into the back.

1782
01:50:23,960 --> 01:50:24,960
Gets ready.

1783
01:50:24,960 --> 01:50:25,960
Here's a pitch to Gary.

1784
01:50:25,960 --> 01:50:26,960
Gets too low for a ball to lose.

1785
01:50:26,960 --> 01:50:31,960
Ball one.

1786
01:50:31,960 --> 01:50:37,960
Mungo goes back and brings the garage in back and rides his hands.

1787
01:50:37,960 --> 01:50:41,960
Pretty hot out here today and the players' hands and arms get 21,

1788
01:50:41,960 --> 01:50:44,960
especially the pitches.

1789
01:50:44,960 --> 01:50:47,960
Mungo's getting his time again.

1790
01:50:47,960 --> 01:50:48,960
Man on first and a man on second.

1791
01:50:48,960 --> 01:50:50,960
He's letting him for pitch.

1792
01:50:50,960 --> 01:50:52,960
There's a side ball way out of the left center field.

1793
01:50:52,960 --> 01:50:53,960
Demary's going back.

1794
01:50:53,960 --> 01:50:54,960
I don't think he can get it.

1795
01:50:54,960 --> 01:50:55,960
Back, back, back.

1796
01:50:55,960 --> 01:50:57,960
It looks he's been in left center field.

1797
01:50:57,960 --> 01:50:59,960
One run is starting, two runs are starting.

1798
01:50:59,960 --> 01:51:00,960
Here's Gary trying for third.

1799
01:51:00,960 --> 01:51:01,960
Here's the throw.

1800
01:51:01,960 --> 01:51:02,960
It's going to be close.

1801
01:51:02,960 --> 01:51:04,960
He's out of the third.

1802
01:51:04,960 --> 01:51:07,960
Gary tried to go all the way to third base and was out.

1803
01:51:07,960 --> 01:51:12,960
The relay was from Demary to by tail to the third base from Archie Vaughan.

1804
01:51:12,960 --> 01:51:16,960
And Lou Gehrig was out of third.

1805
01:51:16,960 --> 01:51:18,960
The two runs scored.

1806
01:51:18,960 --> 01:51:22,960
Lou Gehrig hit a long side ball way out in the left center field for two bases,

1807
01:51:22,960 --> 01:51:25,960
riding in two more runs and trying to stretch it into a triple.

1808
01:51:25,960 --> 01:51:30,960
He was out on a perfect relay from Demary way out in the left center field corner

1809
01:51:30,960 --> 01:51:34,960
to Vaughan in short center field to the short stop by tail and then to Vaughan.

1810
01:51:34,960 --> 01:51:37,960
And he was out on a very, very close play.

1811
01:51:37,960 --> 01:51:41,960
It was awfully close here at third base and he was called out through the pile of the side.

1812
01:51:41,960 --> 01:51:46,960
All right, folks, you are listening to the All-Star Baseball Game,

1813
01:51:46,960 --> 01:51:51,960
which is coming to you from Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C., the nation's capital.

1814
01:51:51,960 --> 01:51:55,960
We're going in now to the national cap of the seventh inning,

1815
01:51:55,960 --> 01:52:03,960
and the ball game stands the Americans eight and the Nationals three.

1816
01:52:03,960 --> 01:52:10,960
Mel Harder, the Cleveland Indians, is now pitching and turning the microphone back to Bob Elton.

1817
01:52:10,960 --> 01:52:13,960
The ball game is going into the first half of the seventh inning.

1818
01:52:13,960 --> 01:52:15,960
Gehrig smashes through the corner of left center field,

1819
01:52:15,960 --> 01:52:21,960
scores two more runs and makes the score the American League eight, the National League three.

1820
01:52:21,960 --> 01:52:25,960
The game's between now and favor.

1821
01:52:25,960 --> 01:52:27,960
The American League, the first man to face Mel Harder,

1822
01:52:27,960 --> 01:52:31,960
is now pitching for the American League, his leadoff man Paul Winnick.

1823
01:52:31,960 --> 01:52:42,960
He's been out and up three times today without a hit. First pitch is right down the middle for his play.

1824
01:52:42,960 --> 01:52:45,960
Always talking up out there in the infield.

1825
01:52:45,960 --> 01:52:48,960
Paul Winnick batting and the National League is five runs behind.

1826
01:52:48,960 --> 01:52:51,960
Here's the next pitch. It's a bounding ball over the pitcher's head.

1827
01:52:51,960 --> 01:52:54,960
Gehrig is back behind second base. It's going to be close. He's out.

1828
01:52:54,960 --> 01:52:56,960
Gehrig to the Gehrig. Fast play.

1829
01:52:56,960 --> 01:52:58,960
A bounding ball over the pitcher's head.

1830
01:52:58,960 --> 01:53:01,960
He went behind second base, grabbed the ball with the same motion,

1831
01:53:01,960 --> 01:53:04,960
fired it over the first base and got his man, Gehrig to Gehrig.

1832
01:53:04,960 --> 01:53:12,960
Here's Billy Herman.

1833
01:53:12,960 --> 01:53:18,960
Billy's been up three times. He's made one hit.

1834
01:53:18,960 --> 01:53:22,960
Now he's facing Harder.

1835
01:53:22,960 --> 01:53:24,960
If you get this sign out there, he's ready. Here it is.

1836
01:53:24,960 --> 01:53:30,960
First pitch Billy slams it, a hit over the shortstop's head into left center field.

1837
01:53:30,960 --> 01:53:34,960
Billy Herman gets his second hit, a line drive over the shortstop's head.

1838
01:53:34,960 --> 01:53:38,960
It rolls into left center field and Averill fires it back into the infield.

1839
01:53:38,960 --> 01:53:44,960
Next man to come up is Aki Moore.

1840
01:53:44,960 --> 01:53:53,960
So Medwick and Billy Herman each have two hits with the National League.

1841
01:53:53,960 --> 01:54:02,960
That was the ninth hit of the National League.

1842
01:54:02,960 --> 01:54:06,960
Aki Moore looks at the fast ball outside knee-high for the ball.

1843
01:54:06,960 --> 01:54:12,960
Next man to come up will be Medwick, the man on first.

1844
01:54:12,960 --> 01:54:14,960
So it's eight to three in favor of the American League.

1845
01:54:14,960 --> 01:54:22,960
He throws the first base, but Billy Herman is back on the bag in a hurry.

1846
01:54:22,960 --> 01:54:25,960
Harder's getting his sign out there again. He's already here to pitch.

1847
01:54:25,960 --> 01:54:28,960
There's a hard hit ball out to Garinger over the second base. Out.

1848
01:54:28,960 --> 01:54:31,960
Back over the first base. State. No double play.

1849
01:54:31,960 --> 01:54:34,960
Hard hit ball on the ground to Garinger. Garinger went to his right for it.

1850
01:54:34,960 --> 01:54:38,960
The second baseman went to his right. That's toward the bag.

1851
01:54:38,960 --> 01:54:40,960
The ball was hugging the ground.

1852
01:54:40,960 --> 01:54:42,960
Came up with the ball and flipped it to Coleman.

1853
01:54:42,960 --> 01:54:46,960
Coleman fired to Gary, but no double play. Out of second, state of first.

1854
01:54:46,960 --> 01:54:48,960
Here's Medwick.

1855
01:54:48,960 --> 01:54:52,960
Medwick has been up three times. There's a single and a double.

1856
01:54:52,960 --> 01:54:56,960
Now he's facing Mel Harder. Harder's ready for the first pitch.

1857
01:54:56,960 --> 01:55:00,960
Medwick golfed one into the box piece down the right field line.

1858
01:55:00,960 --> 01:55:04,960
He's throwing a very bad outside pitch.

1859
01:55:04,960 --> 01:55:07,960
And he hit it into the box piece down the right field line.

1860
01:55:07,960 --> 01:55:09,960
And there was lots of punch behind it.

1861
01:55:09,960 --> 01:55:13,960
Moore, this fella can slam that ball.

1862
01:55:13,960 --> 01:55:21,960
Next man to come up will be Medwick, the man on first.

1863
01:55:21,960 --> 01:55:25,960
Moore is eight to three in favor of the American lead.

1864
01:55:25,960 --> 01:55:33,960
He throws the first base, but Billy Herman is back on the bag in a hurry.

1865
01:55:33,960 --> 01:55:36,960
Harder's getting his sign out there again. He's already here to pitch.

1866
01:55:36,960 --> 01:55:39,960
There's a hard hit ball out to Garinger. Over the second base. Out.

1867
01:55:39,960 --> 01:55:42,960
Back over the first base. State. No double play.

1868
01:55:42,960 --> 01:55:45,960
Hard hit ball on the ground to Garinger. Garinger went to his right for it.

1869
01:55:45,960 --> 01:55:49,960
The second baseman went to his right. That's toward the bag.

1870
01:55:49,960 --> 01:55:53,960
The ball was hugging the ground. Came up with the ball and flipped it to Coleman.

1871
01:55:53,960 --> 01:55:57,960
Coleman fired to Gary, but no double play. Out of second, save at first.

1872
01:55:57,960 --> 01:55:59,960
Here's Medwick.

1873
01:55:59,960 --> 01:56:02,960
Medwick has been up three times. There's a single and a double.

1874
01:56:02,960 --> 01:56:05,960
Now he's facing Mel Harder.

1875
01:56:05,960 --> 01:56:11,960
Harder's ready for the first pitch. Medwick golfed one into the box piece down the right field line.

1876
01:56:11,960 --> 01:56:15,960
He's throwing a very bad outside hit.

1877
01:56:15,960 --> 01:56:17,960
And he hit it into the box piece down the right field line.

1878
01:56:17,960 --> 01:56:19,960
And there was lots of punch behind it.

1879
01:56:19,960 --> 01:56:22,960
Boy, this fella can slam that ball.

1880
01:56:22,960 --> 01:56:27,960
He's putting over 400 for the St. Louis Tigers. 404.

1881
01:56:27,960 --> 01:56:29,960
Harder's getting ready to pitch again to Medwick.

1882
01:56:29,960 --> 01:56:32,960
Medwick hits the bounding ball. He hits down the first base line.

1883
01:56:32,960 --> 01:56:34,960
All pitchers look alike to him.

1884
01:56:34,960 --> 01:56:37,960
He's on his way to second base. Here's the throw from DiMaggio.

1885
01:56:37,960 --> 01:56:39,960
And Vaughn comes around to third.

1886
01:56:39,960 --> 01:56:41,960
It was a double by Medwick.

1887
01:56:41,960 --> 01:56:45,960
His third hit gives him two doubles and a single.

1888
01:56:45,960 --> 01:56:50,960
It's a man on second and a man on third. And the next man to come up is Demary.

1889
01:56:50,960 --> 01:56:53,960
That was a ground ball between Gehrig and the line.

1890
01:56:53,960 --> 01:56:56,960
Gehrig made a dive at the ball and finally kept it to head it off.

1891
01:56:56,960 --> 01:57:02,960
But it eluded him and went down the right field line until DiMaggio got a hold of the ball and fired it back into the infield.

1892
01:57:02,960 --> 01:57:10,960
Vaughn comes around to third and Medwick pulls up a second base with another double.

1893
01:57:10,960 --> 01:57:21,960
Here's Frank Demary. He's been up three times and has made one hit.

1894
01:57:21,960 --> 01:57:24,960
Mel Harder getting ready to pitch not a Frank Demary.

1895
01:57:24,960 --> 01:57:28,960
Here's the pitch. Demary, one and miss.

1896
01:57:28,960 --> 01:57:31,960
Pitch right around his goal.

1897
01:57:31,960 --> 01:57:36,960
Medwick on second and Archie Vaughn on third.

1898
01:57:36,960 --> 01:57:39,960
Here comes the next pitch. Demary hits a pounding ball off at the shortstop.

1899
01:57:39,960 --> 01:57:43,960
Cronen has it over the first base. He's out with firing the start.

1900
01:57:43,960 --> 01:57:48,960
He hit a pounding ball to Cronen and Cronen threw him out and two men were left down the base.

1901
01:57:48,960 --> 01:57:50,960
All right, Tony Williams.

1902
01:57:50,960 --> 01:57:53,960
As we go into the last half of the seventh inning, the ball game stands.

1903
01:57:53,960 --> 01:57:57,960
The American League is eight and the Nationals three.

1904
01:57:57,960 --> 01:58:05,960
And now just about 35,000 people standing to take a little stretch as we go into the last half of the seventh inning.

1905
01:58:05,960 --> 01:58:11,960
In the next half, Paul Weiner was out, Geringer to Gehrig.

1906
01:58:11,960 --> 01:58:16,960
And Herman, single over second. Archie Vaughn forwards Herman a second.

1907
01:58:16,960 --> 01:58:20,960
Medwick double down the first baseline. Archie Vaughn pulling up a third.

1908
01:58:20,960 --> 01:58:23,960
And then Demary was out, Cronen to Gehrig.

1909
01:58:23,960 --> 01:58:32,960
I'd like to remind you at this time that this evening over this same network at 630 o'clock Eastern Standard Time,

1910
01:58:32,960 --> 01:58:35,960
Bob Elson and Yurk Shuley will be on the air.

1911
01:58:35,960 --> 01:58:39,960
Paul Tronsadine, the well-known columnist.

1912
01:58:39,960 --> 01:58:44,960
Then we have, let's see, Bucky Newsom is going to be on.

1913
01:58:44,960 --> 01:58:49,960
Al Schacht, Grantland Wright, and several other well-known celebrities.

1914
01:58:49,960 --> 01:58:57,960
And we ask that you listen in. The boys I know will give you a little information on the inside of the game

1915
01:58:57,960 --> 01:59:00,960
and just what happened out here this afternoon.

1916
01:59:00,960 --> 01:59:02,960
Now we're going into the last half of the seventh and Bob Elson.

1917
01:59:02,960 --> 01:59:09,960
First man to back to the American League in the last half of the seventh inning is the brilliant center fielder of the Cleveland Indians, Earl Averill.

1918
01:59:09,960 --> 01:59:14,960
He's up for the play, the left-handed batter. Nobody out. And nobody out as he starts the last half of the seventh.

1919
01:59:14,960 --> 01:59:19,960
The first pitch was very high and inside the world for the ball.

1920
01:59:19,960 --> 01:59:30,960
Nobody on and nobody out. The American League has a 5-1 lead.

1921
01:59:30,960 --> 01:59:33,960
He's getting his sign out there. He's ready.

1922
01:59:33,960 --> 01:59:38,960
Fast for a loan inside the ball. Ball 2.

1923
01:59:38,960 --> 01:59:40,960
Johnny Mize is first. Herman is second.

1924
01:59:40,960 --> 01:59:44,960
Barton is short. And Vanna is third.

1925
01:59:44,960 --> 01:59:48,960
Al Winter in right field. Frank Demery in center field. Joe Medwick in left field.

1926
01:59:48,960 --> 01:59:51,960
Manciso is the present catcher. And Van Lingo Mungo is the pitcher.

1927
01:59:51,960 --> 01:59:54,960
Fast ball. D.E. swung that line and missed it.

1928
01:59:54,960 --> 01:59:57,960
Averill went around fast that time trying to get that ball alive.

1929
01:59:57,960 --> 02:00:00,960
It was Mungo's fast ball right down the middle.

1930
02:00:00,960 --> 02:00:08,960
And he missed it. Counted 2-1.

1931
02:00:08,960 --> 02:00:11,960
Averill is getting his sign. Here's the next pitch.

1932
02:00:11,960 --> 02:00:18,960
Fast ball that's too high. Makes it fall free.

1933
02:00:18,960 --> 02:00:24,960
3-1 count.

1934
02:00:24,960 --> 02:00:28,960
Earl Averill is the first man up.

1935
02:00:28,960 --> 02:00:30,960
Here's the next pitch.

1936
02:00:30,960 --> 02:00:33,960
Ball. He walked in that was high and inside.

1937
02:00:33,960 --> 02:00:40,960
Averill gets the base on ball. Here's Fuller and he has one hitter double.

1938
02:00:40,960 --> 02:00:46,960
Joe Coleman, former shortstop and former manager here at Washington,

1939
02:00:46,960 --> 02:00:56,960
coming to bat now with a teammate on first base and nobody out in the last half of the seventh.

1940
02:00:56,960 --> 02:00:58,960
Pitcher's getting his sign. Here it is.

1941
02:00:58,960 --> 02:01:03,960
There's a line drive to Bartell. Over to first base it's a double play.

1942
02:01:03,960 --> 02:01:07,960
Here's a low line drive to Bartell. Bartell went to his right and made a dive for the ball.

1943
02:01:07,960 --> 02:01:10,960
It was going to hit the ground. He made a dive for the ball.

1944
02:01:10,960 --> 02:01:13,960
Let's be sure to get his support hit the ground to retire the batter.

1945
02:01:13,960 --> 02:01:16,960
Then got up on one knee and threw the ball over to first base.

1946
02:01:16,960 --> 02:01:19,960
In time to double Averill for the second up.

1947
02:01:19,960 --> 02:01:24,960
He's on.

1948
02:01:24,960 --> 02:01:30,960
Line drive to Bartell. Bartell demised and it's a double play.

1949
02:01:30,960 --> 02:01:32,960
Here's the catcher Bill Vicki.

1950
02:01:32,960 --> 02:01:35,960
He has a single, a walk and a double for a perfect day at the plate.

1951
02:01:35,960 --> 02:01:37,960
Ball on the first pitch. It's a bill of a bit of a side.

1952
02:01:37,960 --> 02:01:39,960
Walked him back from the plate.

1953
02:01:39,960 --> 02:01:41,960
Here's a great catcher this fella.

1954
02:01:41,960 --> 02:01:44,960
Fine receiver of pitchers. Good hitter.

1955
02:01:44,960 --> 02:01:46,960
Real hustle out there.

1956
02:01:46,960 --> 02:01:49,960
Believe me he's the real back fuller of this Yankee machine.

1957
02:01:49,960 --> 02:01:50,960
Here's the pitch.

1958
02:01:50,960 --> 02:01:56,960
Ball low and inside.

1959
02:01:56,960 --> 02:01:58,960
Bill Vicki up at the plate.

1960
02:01:58,960 --> 02:02:02,960
Ball slung to the left-handed batter.

1961
02:02:02,960 --> 02:02:04,960
Next Vicki flams a fly ball into center field.

1962
02:02:04,960 --> 02:02:07,960
The center fielder's waiting. He caught it.

1963
02:02:07,960 --> 02:02:11,960
He hit a fly ball into center field and the center fielder definitely

1964
02:02:11,960 --> 02:02:15,960
had to move until the ball almost got to him and all of a sudden the ball

1965
02:02:15,960 --> 02:02:20,960
slung fast and he made a run for the ball and caught it. There was a sudden

1966
02:02:20,960 --> 02:02:22,960
pull through the crowd here and he retired the shot.

1967
02:02:22,960 --> 02:02:24,960
Here's Tony Wicks.

1968
02:02:24,960 --> 02:02:27,960
We're going into the last half of the seventh inning or rather the first half

1969
02:02:27,960 --> 02:02:31,960
of the eighth inning and the ball game stands the American Lakers eighth and

1970
02:02:31,960 --> 02:02:33,960
the National Three.

1971
02:02:33,960 --> 02:02:37,960
This is the all-star ball game coming to you from Griffith Stadium, Washington,

1972
02:02:37,960 --> 02:02:39,960
D.C., the nation's capital.

1973
02:02:39,960 --> 02:02:44,960
I again want to bring to your attention the fact that tonight from 8.30 to 8.45 p.m.

1974
02:02:44,960 --> 02:02:50,960
Eastern Standard Time or 9.30 to 9.45 p.m. Daylight Saving Time, the

1975
02:02:50,960 --> 02:02:55,960
Mutual Broadcasting Network will make a special pickup to KGMB Honolulu and

1976
02:02:55,960 --> 02:03:00,960
during that broadcast an explanation will be given of the activity with

1977
02:03:00,960 --> 02:03:06,960
the Bing exercise in the search for Amelia Earhart and her navigator Nuna.

1978
02:03:06,960 --> 02:03:11,960
We're going in now to the national half of the eighth inning and Bob Elk.

1979
02:03:11,960 --> 02:03:14,960
Thank you Tony. Well we're starting the eighth inning with this all-star game,

1980
02:03:14,960 --> 02:03:16,960
the nation's capital in Washington.

1981
02:03:16,960 --> 02:03:20,960
Joe McAfee evidently believes in keeping the original lineup in there.

1982
02:03:20,960 --> 02:03:22,960
There are no changes.

1983
02:03:22,960 --> 02:03:25,960
And we're starting the first half of the eighth inning with Johnny Mize,

1984
02:03:25,960 --> 02:03:28,960
the plugging first baseman from the St. Louis Cardinals who's been hopeless

1985
02:03:28,960 --> 02:03:30,960
today coming up to face Mel Harding.

1986
02:03:30,960 --> 02:03:33,960
The National League is five runs behind.

1987
02:03:33,960 --> 02:03:36,960
The score is 8-3 in favor of the American League.

1988
02:03:36,960 --> 02:03:38,960
Now the 50s.

1989
02:03:38,960 --> 02:03:42,960
First pitch to Johnny Mize is too low, ball.

1990
02:03:42,960 --> 02:03:45,960
Margeo right field,

1991
02:03:45,960 --> 02:03:47,960
Averyl center field and Weston left,

1992
02:03:47,960 --> 02:03:48,960
Ralph third,

1993
02:03:48,960 --> 02:03:49,960
Coleman short,

1994
02:03:49,960 --> 02:03:50,960
Erringer second,

1995
02:03:50,960 --> 02:03:51,960
Jerry first.

1996
02:03:51,960 --> 02:03:54,960
Harder goes through his motion, here's the next pitch.

1997
02:03:54,960 --> 02:03:59,960
There's a fly ball in the left field that West is over for and has for the up.

1998
02:03:59,960 --> 02:04:02,960
He had a fly ball in the left field that was caught by Sam West.

1999
02:04:02,960 --> 02:04:07,960
He moved over about 10 feet to his left and caught it easily for the first down.

2000
02:04:07,960 --> 02:04:15,960
Here's the catcher, Dust Mancuso.

2001
02:04:15,960 --> 02:04:18,960
Johnny Mize is the first out in the eighth.

2002
02:04:18,960 --> 02:04:24,960
Mel Harding takes a look back around the infield now to see if everybody's in place.

2003
02:04:24,960 --> 02:04:29,960
Shortstop Coleman motions to Sammy West to move over a little bit more for his right.

2004
02:04:29,960 --> 02:04:33,960
That is for the third baseline for Mancuso.

2005
02:04:33,960 --> 02:04:37,960
Now he's all set.

2006
02:04:37,960 --> 02:04:40,960
First pitch to Guggey at the bounding board on the third baseline.

2007
02:04:40,960 --> 02:04:44,960
Lost comes in fast, up with it over to first base, he's out, lost to Gary.

2008
02:04:44,960 --> 02:04:46,960
The pitcher tried to head the ball off but couldn't get it.

2009
02:04:46,960 --> 02:04:51,960
Red Rock threw him in fast and grabbed the ball and threw him out of the fast play, lost to Gary.

2010
02:04:51,960 --> 02:04:59,960
He's long, next man to come up is the shortstop, Barthel.

2011
02:04:59,960 --> 02:05:07,960
Barthel has been up three times without a hit.

2012
02:05:07,960 --> 02:05:11,960
Where is that going to play now?

2013
02:05:11,960 --> 02:05:13,960
Nobody on, two gone.

2014
02:05:13,960 --> 02:05:20,960
First stop of the eighth inning, Robert Moses Grove is warming up the bullpen and right field for the American League.

2015
02:05:20,960 --> 02:05:24,960
As they pop up over the pitcher's head, it bounces up close to second base.

2016
02:05:24,960 --> 02:05:29,960
Coleman fumbles the ball and it's safe at first. I believe it will be an error for Coleman.

2017
02:05:29,960 --> 02:05:33,960
Slow roller, they're calling it a hit.

2018
02:05:33,960 --> 02:05:40,960
It was a little pop over the pitcher's head, he caught the ball on the handle of his bat and went over the pitcher's head and dropped down the grass.

2019
02:05:40,960 --> 02:05:46,960
Coleman came in fast for the ball and overran it.

2020
02:05:46,960 --> 02:05:51,960
He had his glove on the ball but couldn't pick it up, he overran it, but the official scorer gives Dick Barthel a hit on it.

2021
02:05:51,960 --> 02:06:01,960
With the man on first and now I believe we're going to get a pinch hitter ball the pitcher Mungo.

2022
02:06:01,960 --> 02:06:08,960
Here's the batter coming up.

2023
02:06:08,960 --> 02:06:15,960
Joe Moore of New York.

2024
02:06:15,960 --> 02:06:28,960
Joe Moore of the New York Giants is coming up to bat for Van Lingo Mungo.

2025
02:06:28,960 --> 02:06:32,960
Here he is up at the plate.

2026
02:06:32,960 --> 02:06:34,960
That's how it's better.

2027
02:06:34,960 --> 02:06:36,960
The man on first.

2028
02:06:36,960 --> 02:06:37,960
Here's the pitch.

2029
02:06:37,960 --> 02:06:44,960
There's a high bounding ball, hard to the shortstop, Coleman gets it, steps down second base and forces Barthel and retires the shot.

2030
02:06:44,960 --> 02:06:52,960
A high bounding ball to Coleman over near second, he grabs the ball, ran over and steps on second base and forces Barthel to retire the shot.

2031
02:06:52,960 --> 02:07:00,960
All right, going into the last half of the eighth inning, the ball game stands with the American Lakers eight and the Nationals three.

2032
02:07:00,960 --> 02:07:10,960
We're going into the last half of the eighth inning, the American half off the eighth score, the National Lakers three and the Americans eight.

2033
02:07:10,960 --> 02:07:12,960
And back with Barthel.

2034
02:07:12,960 --> 02:07:17,960
We're going to have a new pitcher now, Fannie Walters, the tall right-hander of the Phillies.

2035
02:07:17,960 --> 02:07:20,960
How do you find the pitchers coming into hurling off the National League?

2036
02:07:20,960 --> 02:07:23,960
Van Mungo was taken out to allow Joe Moore to bat for him.

2037
02:07:23,960 --> 02:07:26,960
Starting the last half of the eighth inning, no other change.

2038
02:07:26,960 --> 02:07:36,960
First man to bat will be the American League left fielder, Fannie West.

2039
02:07:36,960 --> 02:07:40,960
Score is eight to three in favor of the American League as we start the last half of the eighth.

2040
02:07:40,960 --> 02:07:46,960
The fifth annual All-Star game in Washington, D.C.

2041
02:07:46,960 --> 02:07:49,960
Big west top of the plate, he bats left-handed.

2042
02:07:49,960 --> 02:07:51,960
He's made one hit.

2043
02:07:51,960 --> 02:07:53,960
First pitchers low and inside the ball.

2044
02:07:53,960 --> 02:07:56,960
Walters is the plunder right-hander.

2045
02:07:56,960 --> 02:08:00,960
A lot of stuff on that ball, he used to be an infielder.

2046
02:08:00,960 --> 02:08:03,960
Regular form with black cap, black stockings.

2047
02:08:03,960 --> 02:08:04,960
Here's the next pitch.

2048
02:08:04,960 --> 02:08:06,960
There's a high pop fly in the infield.

2049
02:08:06,960 --> 02:08:07,960
Billy Herman is under it.

2050
02:08:07,960 --> 02:08:09,960
He's moving over behind second base.

2051
02:08:09,960 --> 02:08:11,960
He's mostly back on the way.

2052
02:08:11,960 --> 02:08:13,960
He caught it for the first time.

2053
02:08:13,960 --> 02:08:18,960
He pops up to Billy Herman.

2054
02:08:18,960 --> 02:08:25,960
Here's Harder coming up.

2055
02:08:25,960 --> 02:08:30,960
Mel Harder stepping around behind the umpire, around the left side.

2056
02:08:30,960 --> 02:08:35,960
He bats right-handed.

2057
02:08:35,960 --> 02:08:38,960
Mel Harder batting.

2058
02:08:38,960 --> 02:08:40,960
Here's the first pitch.

2059
02:08:40,960 --> 02:08:43,960
He fouls it right back into the wire for a foul strike.

2060
02:08:43,960 --> 02:08:45,960
Nobody on and one gone.

2061
02:08:45,960 --> 02:08:48,960
New ball is thrown down to third base for Naki Vaughn.

2062
02:08:48,960 --> 02:08:53,960
He returns it to Walters.

2063
02:08:53,960 --> 02:08:56,960
Next man to come up will be the leadoff man, Red Rock.

2064
02:08:56,960 --> 02:08:57,960
Here's the next pitch.

2065
02:08:57,960 --> 02:09:03,960
It's a fast ball low and outside for the ball.

2066
02:09:03,960 --> 02:09:06,960
Walters steps off the rubber.

2067
02:09:06,960 --> 02:09:08,960
Back onto the pitching rubber again.

2068
02:09:08,960 --> 02:09:10,960
He's already now lined up for the next pitch.

2069
02:09:10,960 --> 02:09:12,960
There's a bounding ball between first and second.

2070
02:09:12,960 --> 02:09:15,960
Billy Herman is coming over very fast up to the ball over to first base,

2071
02:09:15,960 --> 02:09:16,960
and he's out.

2072
02:09:16,960 --> 02:09:17,960
Herman and the Mines.

2073
02:09:17,960 --> 02:09:19,960
It is a slow rolling ball.

2074
02:09:19,960 --> 02:09:21,960
To Johnny Mises' right, Mises stayed at the back,

2075
02:09:21,960 --> 02:09:23,960
and Billy Herman, the second baseman,

2076
02:09:23,960 --> 02:09:39,960
puffed over, grabbed the ball, and threw him off.

2077
02:09:39,960 --> 02:09:46,960
We're asking all the fans to stay seated until the president has left the ball park.

2078
02:09:46,960 --> 02:09:47,960
Here's Walters up on the first pitch.

2079
02:09:47,960 --> 02:09:49,960
He's blowing inside the ball.

2080
02:09:49,960 --> 02:09:53,960
Ball one.

2081
02:09:53,960 --> 02:09:55,960
Here comes the next pitch now.

2082
02:09:55,960 --> 02:09:57,960
There's a slow one outside of the shoulder.

2083
02:09:57,960 --> 02:09:59,960
A ball makes it ball two.

2084
02:09:59,960 --> 02:10:02,960
President Pichic over there behind the American lead.

2085
02:10:02,960 --> 02:10:03,960
Dugouts.

2086
02:10:03,960 --> 02:10:05,960
First throw of the bocce.

2087
02:10:05,960 --> 02:10:07,960
Guys on a gray suit, no vest.

2088
02:10:07,960 --> 02:10:10,960
Looks like a solid color dark blue tie and a white shirt.

2089
02:10:10,960 --> 02:10:12,960
There's a high hit ball over the short stock hit.

2090
02:10:12,960 --> 02:10:14,960
It's a safe hit in the left field.

2091
02:10:14,960 --> 02:10:16,960
Ross gets a hit over the left side of the infield.

2092
02:10:16,960 --> 02:10:20,960
A stockly hit line drive over Pachel's head.

2093
02:10:20,960 --> 02:10:21,960
Let me get this back into the infield.

2094
02:10:21,960 --> 02:10:24,960
Here's Garinger.

2095
02:10:24,960 --> 02:10:26,960
That gives Ross a single, a couple on the walk.

2096
02:10:26,960 --> 02:10:30,960
Good day for Reds.

2097
02:10:30,960 --> 02:10:31,960
Here's Charlie Garinger.

2098
02:10:31,960 --> 02:10:33,960
He lined out the first time, rolled off the second time,

2099
02:10:33,960 --> 02:10:35,960
singled the third time, singled the fourth time,

2100
02:10:35,960 --> 02:10:36,960
and up and off at the fifth time.

2101
02:10:36,960 --> 02:10:37,960
It's two balls.

2102
02:10:37,960 --> 02:10:39,960
He hits a text figure in the center field.

2103
02:10:39,960 --> 02:10:41,960
It's another hit for Garinger.

2104
02:10:41,960 --> 02:10:46,960
And here's Ross coming around to third base.

2105
02:10:46,960 --> 02:10:48,960
It's a man on first and a man on third.

2106
02:10:48,960 --> 02:10:50,960
It was a hit for Garinger.

2107
02:10:50,960 --> 02:10:53,960
His third hit in the center field, a Texas Liger.

2108
02:10:53,960 --> 02:10:55,960
Demaly came in fast and picked up the ball

2109
02:10:55,960 --> 02:10:57,960
and fired at the third base, but the play wasn't even close.

2110
02:10:57,960 --> 02:10:59,960
Ross was in the third base.

2111
02:10:59,960 --> 02:11:02,960
Away ahead of the ball is a man on first and a man on third.

2112
02:11:02,960 --> 02:11:09,960
And the next man to come up is the right fielder, Joe DiMaggio.

2113
02:11:09,960 --> 02:11:12,960
That's hit number three for Garinger.

2114
02:11:12,960 --> 02:11:18,960
He and Medwick are the only players in the game to make three hits.

2115
02:11:18,960 --> 02:11:19,960
Here's Joe DiMaggio.

2116
02:11:19,960 --> 02:11:21,960
He walked the first time, singled the second time,

2117
02:11:21,960 --> 02:11:24,960
struck out the third time, struck out the fourth time.

2118
02:11:24,960 --> 02:11:28,960
Now he's up with a teammate on first and a teammate on third.

2119
02:11:28,960 --> 02:11:31,960
Bucky Walters is getting his time.

2120
02:11:31,960 --> 02:11:33,960
Man on first and a man on third.

2121
02:11:33,960 --> 02:11:34,960
He's getting all set.

2122
02:11:34,960 --> 02:11:36,960
Now here's the pitch.

2123
02:11:36,960 --> 02:11:42,960
DiMaggio looked at one high for a ball.

2124
02:11:42,960 --> 02:11:44,960
The score is 8-3 in favor of the American League.

2125
02:11:44,960 --> 02:11:46,960
They're batting in the last half of the eighth.

2126
02:11:46,960 --> 02:11:50,960
National League gets one more chance.

2127
02:11:50,960 --> 02:11:52,960
He's getting his time out there again.

2128
02:11:52,960 --> 02:11:53,960
He's all ready.

2129
02:11:53,960 --> 02:11:56,960
There's a high infield fly.

2130
02:11:56,960 --> 02:11:59,960
Third baseman Vaughn is coming down the line between the plate

2131
02:11:59,960 --> 02:12:00,960
and third base.

2132
02:12:00,960 --> 02:12:02,960
He caught the ball about five feet outside the line,

2133
02:12:02,960 --> 02:12:05,960
halfway between the pitch and third base.

2134
02:12:05,960 --> 02:12:07,960
The ball was caught by third baseman Aki Vaughn,

2135
02:12:07,960 --> 02:12:09,960
and it repires the side.

2136
02:12:09,960 --> 02:12:13,960
That's the end of the eighth inning, and here's Tony Wicker.

2137
02:12:13,960 --> 02:12:15,960
The score stands at the end of the eighth inning.

2138
02:12:15,960 --> 02:12:20,960
The American League is eight and the National League is three.

2139
02:12:20,960 --> 02:12:22,960
In that half of the eighth inning,

2140
02:12:22,960 --> 02:12:25,960
fourth American League is west, flight out to Hermans.

2141
02:12:25,960 --> 02:12:28,960
Potter was out, Lerman into Mize.

2142
02:12:28,960 --> 02:12:30,960
Then Rolfe single out the left.

2143
02:12:30,960 --> 02:12:31,960
Geringer single to center.

2144
02:12:31,960 --> 02:12:32,960
Rolfe moving down to third.

2145
02:12:32,960 --> 02:12:35,960
Then Joe DiMaggio sent a high foul down the third baseline,

2146
02:12:35,960 --> 02:12:38,960
which was taken by Aki Vaughn and retiring the side.

2147
02:12:38,960 --> 02:12:42,960
We're going in now to the national half of the ninth inning

2148
02:12:42,960 --> 02:12:46,960
and the score eight to three in favor of the American League.

2149
02:12:46,960 --> 02:12:51,960
The ballgame being played at Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C.

2150
02:12:51,960 --> 02:12:53,960
Okay, Potter.

2151
02:12:53,960 --> 02:12:55,960
Well, it's the last post of the National League now

2152
02:12:55,960 --> 02:12:57,960
in the first half of the ninth inning.

2153
02:12:57,960 --> 02:12:58,960
Four winners.

2154
02:12:58,960 --> 02:13:00,960
Well, that's made a hit today.

2155
02:13:00,960 --> 02:13:04,960
Bumming up the face Mel Harder with the National League five runs behind.

2156
02:13:04,960 --> 02:13:07,960
The American League is keeping two pitchers warmed up

2157
02:13:07,960 --> 02:13:10,960
in the bullpen of right field.

2158
02:13:10,960 --> 02:13:16,960
Warming up Grove and Wesley Farrell.

2159
02:13:16,960 --> 02:13:19,960
Well, here's the final interruption.

2160
02:13:19,960 --> 02:13:21,960
It's a ball that's played four times today for a hit.

2161
02:13:21,960 --> 02:13:26,960
Without success, first pitch is wide, way high for a ball.

2162
02:13:26,960 --> 02:13:28,960
The score is eight to three in favor of the American League.

2163
02:13:28,960 --> 02:13:31,960
The ballgame is in the first half of the ninth.

2164
02:13:31,960 --> 02:13:34,960
The American League infielders talking up out there.

2165
02:13:34,960 --> 02:13:35,960
Now he's all set.

2166
02:13:35,960 --> 02:13:36,960
Here's the pitch.

2167
02:13:36,960 --> 02:13:37,960
It's a ball that's inside.

2168
02:13:37,960 --> 02:13:41,960
It's almost hit him in the leg and he jumps out of the way.

2169
02:13:41,960 --> 02:13:46,960
Ball two.

2170
02:13:46,960 --> 02:13:47,960
This is getting a turn out there again.

2171
02:13:47,960 --> 02:13:48,960
It gets all ready.

2172
02:13:48,960 --> 02:13:50,960
Nobody on and nobody out.

2173
02:13:50,960 --> 02:13:52,960
Here's the next pitch.

2174
02:13:52,960 --> 02:13:53,960
Right over the plate.

2175
02:13:53,960 --> 02:13:56,960
Late five called on Paul Wainer.

2176
02:13:56,960 --> 02:13:59,960
And the count now is all two and strike one.

2177
02:13:59,960 --> 02:14:04,960
Next man to come up is Billy Herman and then Archie Vaughn.

2178
02:14:04,960 --> 02:14:06,960
This is getting all set out there again.

2179
02:14:06,960 --> 02:14:07,960
Here it is.

2180
02:14:07,960 --> 02:14:08,960
There's a bounding ball off the picker's glove.

2181
02:14:08,960 --> 02:14:10,960
He knocks it down, picks it up over the first base.

2182
02:14:10,960 --> 02:14:12,960
He's out.

2183
02:14:12,960 --> 02:14:14,960
Harder to Gary.

2184
02:14:14,960 --> 02:14:16,960
A bounding ball right back at the pitcher.

2185
02:14:16,960 --> 02:14:19,960
He knocks the ball down, picks it up, drops it again,

2186
02:14:19,960 --> 02:14:22,960
picks it up again and that's Paul Wainer at first base

2187
02:14:22,960 --> 02:14:25,960
by a separate two, harder to Gary.

2188
02:14:25,960 --> 02:14:27,960
Here's Billy Herman.

2189
02:14:27,960 --> 02:14:31,960
Herman has been up four times, reached first three times,

2190
02:14:31,960 --> 02:14:38,960
twice on hit, once on an error.

2191
02:14:38,960 --> 02:14:41,960
Billy Herman is facing Mel Harding.

2192
02:14:41,960 --> 02:14:42,960
Here's the pitch.

2193
02:14:42,960 --> 02:14:45,960
There's the roller foul to the left of the plate.

2194
02:14:45,960 --> 02:14:47,960
One slice.

2195
02:14:47,960 --> 02:14:52,960
Billy steps out of the batter's box now to the left.

2196
02:14:52,960 --> 02:14:57,960
Gets a lot of dirt on his hands and gets back up in there again.

2197
02:14:57,960 --> 02:15:00,960
Billy Herman is batting one out.

2198
02:15:00,960 --> 02:15:02,960
First half of the ninth inning.

2199
02:15:02,960 --> 02:15:03,960
This is getting all set again.

2200
02:15:03,960 --> 02:15:04,960
Here's the next one.

2201
02:15:04,960 --> 02:15:12,960
Look, Dave Ball that's over his head and the count is one and one on the batter.

2202
02:15:12,960 --> 02:15:15,960
The American League has used three pitchers in the game today,

2203
02:15:15,960 --> 02:15:19,960
Gomez, Bridges, and Harding.

2204
02:15:19,960 --> 02:15:26,960
Pitchers rolling inside to Billy Herman for a ball, makes it ball two and strike one.

2205
02:15:26,960 --> 02:15:28,960
The National League has used six pitchers.

2206
02:15:28,960 --> 02:15:33,960
The American League is free.

2207
02:15:33,960 --> 02:15:36,960
If he takes his time out there again and gets to all ready, here's the next pitch.

2208
02:15:36,960 --> 02:15:39,960
Gets a bounding ball to the first baseman's right.

2209
02:15:39,960 --> 02:15:40,960
Gary gets the ball.

2210
02:15:40,960 --> 02:15:41,960
The pitcher's going over to cover.

2211
02:15:41,960 --> 02:15:42,960
He's out.

2212
02:15:42,960 --> 02:15:44,960
Gary gets the assist and the pitcher gets the put out.

2213
02:15:44,960 --> 02:15:45,960
Gary to Harder.

2214
02:15:45,960 --> 02:15:46,960
Two gone.

2215
02:15:46,960 --> 02:15:50,960
One more out and the ball game will be history.

2216
02:15:50,960 --> 02:15:53,960
Here's Archie Vaughn coming up.

2217
02:15:53,960 --> 02:16:03,960
He's made one hit.

2218
02:16:03,960 --> 02:16:06,960
Archie Vaughn is up at the plate.

2219
02:16:06,960 --> 02:16:07,960
Two out and nobody on the bases.

2220
02:16:07,960 --> 02:16:13,960
The ball game is in the first half of the ninth.

2221
02:16:13,960 --> 02:16:17,960
First pitch of all is a fastball inside above the waist of all.

2222
02:16:17,960 --> 02:16:23,960
All one.

2223
02:16:23,960 --> 02:16:28,960
If he takes his time out there again and gets to all ready, here comes the next pitch.

2224
02:16:28,960 --> 02:16:33,960
As I hit out over second base in the center field for Archie Vaughn, he dropped a low

2225
02:16:33,960 --> 02:16:37,960
pitch that time right out over the pitcher's head in the center field.

2226
02:16:37,960 --> 02:16:43,960
Next man to come up is Medwick.

2227
02:16:43,960 --> 02:16:48,960
He has a single and two doubles.

2228
02:16:48,960 --> 02:16:53,960
That was the National League 11 pitch.

2229
02:16:53,960 --> 02:16:55,960
Here's Medwick up.

2230
02:16:55,960 --> 02:16:57,960
Single and two doubles today.

2231
02:16:57,960 --> 02:16:59,960
Harder's getting ready.

2232
02:16:59,960 --> 02:17:03,960
First pitch he's thrown out hard and missed.

2233
02:17:03,960 --> 02:17:07,960
He took that characteristic full swing of his and missed the ball that time.

2234
02:17:07,960 --> 02:17:12,960
He looks good when he misses.

2235
02:17:12,960 --> 02:17:15,960
Steps back out of the batter's box now.

2236
02:17:15,960 --> 02:17:17,960
He'll just tap down for me on his head.

2237
02:17:17,960 --> 02:17:19,960
He's baseball's leading hitter.

2238
02:17:19,960 --> 02:17:20,960
Harder gets ready again.

2239
02:17:20,960 --> 02:17:21,960
Here's the pitch.

2240
02:17:21,960 --> 02:17:25,960
There's a high foul down the light field line that's going into the upper tier of the

2241
02:17:25,960 --> 02:17:27,960
boxers and it's two strikes on Medwick.

2242
02:17:27,960 --> 02:17:30,960
Two out of the man on first for the National League.

2243
02:17:30,960 --> 02:17:40,960
Ball game is in the ninth inning and the American League is ahead 8-3.

2244
02:17:40,960 --> 02:17:42,960
Medwick up at the plate with the man on first.

2245
02:17:42,960 --> 02:17:44,960
Two draws.

2246
02:17:44,960 --> 02:17:48,960
Archie Vaughn and Gary are getting each other down there at first base and both boys are

2247
02:17:48,960 --> 02:17:50,960
all smiles.

2248
02:17:50,960 --> 02:17:52,960
Harder's getting ready to pitch again to Medwick.

2249
02:17:52,960 --> 02:17:56,960
Over his head for the ball.

2250
02:17:56,960 --> 02:17:58,960
It's very high to Joe.

2251
02:17:58,960 --> 02:18:03,960
Ball one, strike two.

2252
02:18:03,960 --> 02:18:05,960
That's right handed.

2253
02:18:05,960 --> 02:18:07,960
Runner on first base has a short lead again.

2254
02:18:07,960 --> 02:18:09,960
Now the pitcher gets ready.

2255
02:18:09,960 --> 02:18:10,960
Harder's all set.

2256
02:18:10,960 --> 02:18:12,960
Here's the next pitch to Medwick.

2257
02:18:12,960 --> 02:18:15,960
Here's the foul up over the roof off there to the right.

2258
02:18:15,960 --> 02:18:19,960
You can probably hear the crack of that bat against the ball on your radio.

2259
02:18:19,960 --> 02:18:25,960
The umpire is going to clean off the plate.

2260
02:18:25,960 --> 02:18:28,960
Well, it's been a glorious day for the game today.

2261
02:18:28,960 --> 02:18:31,960
It's been staged without a hit.

2262
02:18:31,960 --> 02:18:33,960
Fine plays both sides.

2263
02:18:33,960 --> 02:18:35,960
Nice, solid hitting.

2264
02:18:35,960 --> 02:18:37,960
Good pitching.

2265
02:18:37,960 --> 02:18:38,960
Mel Harder's getting ready again.

2266
02:18:38,960 --> 02:18:39,960
Here's the pitch.

2267
02:18:39,960 --> 02:18:41,960
Medwick cramps one into right center field.

2268
02:18:41,960 --> 02:18:42,960
It's another hit for Medwick.

2269
02:18:42,960 --> 02:18:43,960
It's fourth hit.

2270
02:18:43,960 --> 02:18:48,960
Here's Vaughn coming around to third base and Medwick gets his fourth hit.

2271
02:18:48,960 --> 02:18:52,960
A line drive over the second baseman's head into right center field.

2272
02:18:52,960 --> 02:18:55,960
Runner on first base.

2273
02:18:55,960 --> 02:19:01,960
Garreg knew he could only get a single on it and Garreg grabbed him safely around the hit.

2274
02:19:01,960 --> 02:19:05,960
That's what's number four for Medwick and he's a hitting star of the game.

2275
02:19:05,960 --> 02:19:06,960
Four hits for Joe.

2276
02:19:06,960 --> 02:19:12,960
Next man to come up is Demary.

2277
02:19:12,960 --> 02:19:17,960
Medwick's got two singles and two doubles.

2278
02:19:17,960 --> 02:19:18,960
That was a liner.

2279
02:19:18,960 --> 02:19:21,960
Right over Charlie Geringer's head into right center field.

2280
02:19:21,960 --> 02:19:23,960
Man on first and a man on third.

2281
02:19:23,960 --> 02:19:24,960
Vaughn went around to third.

2282
02:19:24,960 --> 02:19:26,960
Here's Frank Demary up.

2283
02:19:26,960 --> 02:19:28,960
He's got one hit.

2284
02:19:28,960 --> 02:19:36,960
First pitch to Frank is right down the middle, right in the groove for the strike.

2285
02:19:36,960 --> 02:19:39,960
American League ahead, eight to three.

2286
02:19:39,960 --> 02:19:43,960
Two out here in the first half of the ninth inning.

2287
02:19:43,960 --> 02:19:45,960
Medwick on first and Vaughn on third.

2288
02:19:45,960 --> 02:19:46,960
Next pitch to Demary.

2289
02:19:46,960 --> 02:19:53,960
Powell up over the roof.

2290
02:19:53,960 --> 02:20:01,960
Another new ball is passed out to Mel Harder.

2291
02:20:01,960 --> 02:20:04,960
Medwick is talking to his boss, Frankie Fish, over there on first.

2292
02:20:04,960 --> 02:20:09,960
Fish is the coach at first.

2293
02:20:09,960 --> 02:20:11,960
Frankie's probably very proud of one of his two goals today.

2294
02:20:11,960 --> 02:20:13,960
Medwick who's made four hits.

2295
02:20:13,960 --> 02:20:14,960
Here's the pitch.

2296
02:20:14,960 --> 02:20:16,960
Demary hits a bounding ball out to Geringer.

2297
02:20:16,960 --> 02:20:18,960
Picks it up, goes at the first base.

2298
02:20:18,960 --> 02:20:19,960
The game is over.

2299
02:20:19,960 --> 02:20:25,960
The American League defeated the National League today for the fourth time in five years.

2300
02:20:25,960 --> 02:20:30,960
The American League defeated the National League by a score of eight to five.

2301
02:20:30,960 --> 02:20:33,960
Now the players are getting off the field and going to their respective dugouts.

2302
02:20:33,960 --> 02:20:35,960
Fans are all sitting tight.

2303
02:20:35,960 --> 02:20:38,960
It's on the president's lead.

2304
02:20:38,960 --> 02:20:43,960
My associate, Tony Wakeman, is going to give you a brief depiction of his fifth annual All-Star game.

2305
02:20:43,960 --> 02:20:47,960
The game is played in the nation's capital, Washington, D.C.

2306
02:20:47,960 --> 02:20:50,960
Now this is Bob Elson with my part of the job over saying goodbye.

2307
02:20:50,960 --> 02:20:58,960
I hope you've enjoyed our play-by-play broadcast and that you've enjoyed your afternoon here at the All-Star game in Washington, D.C.

2308
02:20:58,960 --> 02:20:59,960
Here's Tony Wakeman.

2309
02:20:59,960 --> 02:21:09,960
Okay, Bob, and I hope you get the official runs, hits, and errors before we sign off the game over now in favor of the American Leaguers 8-2-3.

2310
02:21:09,960 --> 02:21:13,960
The players immediately rushed over to the dugout.

2311
02:21:13,960 --> 02:21:20,960
Luke Gehry got the ball, which was used, that is the last ball, ducked in his hip pocket, and then dashed over to the dugout,

2312
02:21:20,960 --> 02:21:27,960
picked up his own bat, which he brought along to this ball game, and each player did likewise.

2313
02:21:27,960 --> 02:21:32,960
The 35,000 enthusiastic baseball fans gathered here this afternoon remain in their seats,

2314
02:21:32,960 --> 02:21:34,960
accepting a few out.

2315
02:21:34,960 --> 02:21:36,960
The bleachers come onto the field.

2316
02:21:36,960 --> 02:21:38,960
The president's car is coming on.

2317
02:21:38,960 --> 02:21:45,960
When the president of the United States leaves, why, the fans will follow immediately.

2318
02:21:45,960 --> 02:21:54,960
And the crowd starts applauding, and the fans out in the center field bleachers coming onto the field now,

2319
02:21:54,960 --> 02:22:04,960
although they make no attempt to rush for the driveway, which the president's car will leave.

2320
02:22:04,960 --> 02:22:08,960
The president has driven up to the box.

2321
02:22:08,960 --> 02:22:12,960
The president's getting into the car.

2322
02:22:12,960 --> 02:22:18,960
We've got a grand day for the ball game here at Zipfist Stadium.

2323
02:22:18,960 --> 02:22:30,960
It's about 92 right here in our little perch, hanging down from the second tier between third base and the plate.

2324
02:22:30,960 --> 02:22:37,960
When the president leaves after about an hour of baseball, we got into the shadows of the stands, and we cooled off just a bit.

2325
02:22:37,960 --> 02:22:43,960
Now the president has gotten into his car with his military aide and his son,

2326
02:22:43,960 --> 02:22:54,960
and waves goodbye to the officials of the Washington Baseball League, Mr. Rynan and Clark Griffin.

2327
02:22:54,960 --> 02:22:58,960
The president's car is now pulling out off the stadium.

2328
02:22:58,960 --> 02:23:00,960
Here are the official runs, hits, and errors.

2329
02:23:00,960 --> 02:23:05,960
For the American majors, eight runs, 13 hits and three errors.

2330
02:23:05,960 --> 02:23:10,960
And for the national majors, three runs, 12 hits, and no errors.

2331
02:23:10,960 --> 02:23:22,960
Now the president's car pulling out of the driveway, and then a drive of about 15 or 20 minutes to the White House.

2332
02:23:22,960 --> 02:23:35,960
And the crowd immediately swarms onto the field, some going over into the two dugouts, others for that little box where the Bat Boy keeps the ball, you know,

2333
02:23:35,960 --> 02:23:40,960
somebody hoping all the time that a ball will be left.

2334
02:23:40,960 --> 02:23:48,960
But unfortunately this afternoon, the Bat Boy did not forget to empty the box before leaving the park.

2335
02:23:48,960 --> 02:24:01,960
There are 35,000 fans now leaving the stadium through one driveway following the president's car, and then Washington will be crowded tonight.

2336
02:24:01,960 --> 02:24:05,960
Today by play announcer on this ball game will give you a grand description of it.

2337
02:24:05,960 --> 02:24:11,960
Bob Elson also handles a World Series, did a splendid job.

2338
02:24:11,960 --> 02:24:20,960
We're grand working with him and meeting him again, and we hope that we'll be able to bring you more ball games played in the future.

2339
02:24:20,960 --> 02:24:33,960
We again want to repeat that tonight from 830 to 845 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, for 930 to 945 daylight saving time,

2340
02:24:33,960 --> 02:24:44,960
the mutual broadcasting network will make a special pick up to KGMV Honolulu, during which they will give an explanation of the activities to date

2341
02:24:44,960 --> 02:24:52,960
which are being exercised in the search for Amelia Earhart and her navigator Nuland.

2342
02:24:52,960 --> 02:24:59,960
The 1937 All-Star Ball Game turned to you from Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C.

2343
02:24:59,960 --> 02:25:05,960
And I again would like to remind you that tonight over the same network, at 630 p.m.,

2344
02:25:05,960 --> 02:25:13,960
Grantman Drys, Bob Elson, yours truly, Buck Newsom of the Boston Stocks, Al Shack,

2345
02:25:13,960 --> 02:25:20,960
the Chuck Capers here before the president, and the fans witnessing the All-Star Game will be on the air.

2346
02:25:20,960 --> 02:25:30,960
And also Bob Tromstadine, you've read his column on the line with Tromstadine, will discuss today's baseball game and everything in general.

2347
02:25:30,960 --> 02:25:38,960
This is Tony Wakeman speaking, Bob Elson of WGN in Chicago, bidding you all good afternoon.

2348
02:25:38,960 --> 02:25:46,960
This is the Coach-to-Coach Network of the Mutual Broadcasting System.

2349
02:25:46,960 --> 02:25:52,960
This is WGN, the voice of the people of Chicago.

2350
02:25:52,960 --> 02:25:59,960
Due to the All-Star Game broadcast, there was no Old Gold sponsorship of baseball on WGN this afternoon.

2351
02:25:59,960 --> 02:26:06,960
But they'll be back with you again Friday when the Chicago White Sox play the St. Louis Browns at the Misty Fox.

2352
02:26:06,960 --> 02:26:13,960
Look them in for the Old Gold baseball broadcast Friday.

2353
02:26:13,960 --> 02:26:16,960
St. Louis Fox, St. Louis Fox, give it up.

2354
02:26:43,960 --> 02:26:45,960
.
