Ordered by Bill Veeck to pass up the All-Star Game, a well-rested Bob Feller is shelled from the mound with only one out in the 1st inning by the A’s. The A’s score first when Feller absent-mindedly goes into a wind-up with two on, and Ray Coleman and Barney McCosky pull a double steal. The Mackmen then jump on Bob Muncrief and roll to a 10 – 5 win over the American League-leading Indians. Lou Brissie wins his 4th straight. Joe Coleman will shut out the Tribe, 5 – 0, tomorrow to split the series.

Rookie Granny Hamner drives in seven runs to lead the Phils to an 11 – 10 squeaker over the Cardinals. Hamner has a pair of doubles and a single to go along with spectacular fielding, starting double plays in the 8th and 9th. Ken Heintzelman, who relieves Blix Donnelly after Stan Musial’s grand slam in the 2nd, is the winner.
