1935 Top Mound Showdown - Bridges vs Harder
Tommy Bridges (Tigers. 10-64) vs Mel Harder (Indians 10-66)
1935 Tigers 000 002 022 1 - 7 13 0

W - Chief Hogsett L - Oral Hildebrand
SV - Eldon Auker
Home Runs - Cochrane (Tigers), Hal Trosky (Indians)
Bit of a strange game because despite the offense, most of the hits seem to come off the pitcher cards.
The Tribe scored early and often against Bridges sending him to the showers after just five innings. Trailing 5-0, it looked bleak for the Tigers, but they chipped away and by the ninth inning they were trailing by just one. Mickey Cochrane's two run homer gave the Tigers a 6-5 lead.The Indians tied it up in the bottom of the ninth when Hal Trosky doubled home Earl Averill.
So, onto extra innings. Hank Greenberg led off with a single. Reliever Oral Hildebrand retired Goose Goslin and Billy Rogell before Gee Walker tripled home Greenberg.
Milt Galazter drew a walk in the bottom of the ninth off Eldon Auker, but was stranded at first. Chief Hogsett blew the save but picked up the win.

Conley found himself in trouble from the start of this one giving up two runs in the first and three in the third. He was yanked in the fourth inning after giving up his sixth run of the game. Meanwhile, Newcombe allowed only three baserunners in the first six innings. He struggled a bit in the seventh and eighth, so he was relieved by Clem Labine in the ninth.
Jack Dittmar took Labine deep for his second home run of the game and brought the Braves to within two runs of the Dodgers, but they would get no closer.
Gil Hodges had 5 RBI for the Dodgers. Dittmar had 4 RBI for the Braves.

This was a very fast race. Matthews' real life time was 44.66, but here the top four finishers all bettered that.
Matthews' time of 43.89 was just a hair behind the Olympic and World Record of 43.86 set by Lee Evans at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics.
Before the race I rolled to see if John Smith would finish and what his rating would be. Here were the possibilities: 1-4 he does not finish, 5 he finishes using his original C rating, 6 he finishes using a B rating. He rolled a 6 - the best possible outcome for him. Unfortunately, he got off to a slow start from which he could not recover.

1935 All-Star Game
The game was played in Cleveland, so the AL was the home team. Bill Walker started for the NL and Lefty Gomez for the AL. Here's how it went.
Joe Vosmik led off the bottom of the first with a walk and scored on a Jimmie Foxx sac fly. AL leads 1-0.
Jimmie Wilson tripled off Lefty Grove in the top of the fifth and then scored on Pepper Martin's single to tie the game 1-1.
The Nationals took the lead in the eighth on a strange sequence. Arky Vaughan walked and then went to third after singles by Mel Ott and Ducky Medwick. With the bases loaded and Mel Harder on the mound for the AL, Harder inexplicably balks to score Vaughan! NL leads 2-1.
Buddy Myer led off the eighth with a walk and then scored when Earl Averill drew a bases loaded walk against Dizzy Dean. Game tied 2-2.
In the bottom of the tenth Ben Chapman doubles off Paul Derringer. That brings pitcher Tommy Bridges to the plate. I tried to play everybody, so I have no pinch-hitter for Bridges. But Bridges is not a terrible hitter for a pitcher - he hit .239. You can see where this is going, no? Sure enough, Bridges doubles to score Chapman with the winning run. Bridges gets the walk off double and the Win too.

Cleveland (Herb Score) at Chicago White Sox (Jack Harshman)
In the first few innings both pitchers struggled a bit with a lot of dice rolls being out of their control ranges. They still managed to get key strikeouts or double plays to keep the game low scoring.
The Indians scored two runs in the top of the first on a Jim Busby single that scored Al Smith and Al Rosen. The Sox cut the lead in half on Luis Aparicio's second inning double that scored Larry Doby. Walt Dropo raced home on the same play, but was nailed at the plate by Gene Woodling's accurate throw. The Sox tied in the game in the fifth when Minnie Minoso singled home Jack Harshman.
That was all the scoring until the top of the fourteenth. Gene Woodling led off with a walk and went to second on Bobby Avila's sac bunt. Al Rosen's two out single brought him home to give the Indians a 3-2 lead. Calvin Coolidge Julius Caesar Tuskahoma McLish pitched a scoreless bottom half of the inning to seal the win.
The White Sox used 7 pitchers while the Indians used 5. There were 35 players who got into this game. It was almost like one of those youth baseball games where everyone has to play!

Count Morse ($8.00, 5.00, 3.50) held off Infantry ($5.00,3.50)to win by 2.5 lengths. Finance ($3.25) finished third when Whopper was disqualified for bumping.
I believe that makes exactly 25 races completed so far in this season. Fifteen of the races have been won by the real life winners.
