NAME PLAYESS FOR ALL-STAR CAME JULY 6 Yankees Land Six On Team. C incinnati Reds Have l ive Chicago. .June 27 •LU.PJ Despite their slump, the New York Yankees again lead American league player nominations for the sixth annual all-star game at Cincinnati July 6 in a roster announced today by league President Will llarridge. The world champions landed six men on the 1938 squad but for once it won't bo dominated by Yankee sluggers. Most of its typical American league power will be supplied by the four men each from Boston and Detroit, three each from Cleveland and Washington and one from Philadelphia. Chicago and St. Louis. Os the six Yanks nomiated only Joe DiMaggio was a sure shot to be in the starting lineup. Five hitters rank ahead of DiMaggio in the averages and three pitchers have records better than New York's best, Charley Ruffing. The seven other clubs, however, furnished the American leaguers with piety of power to step into Natioal league pitching. Among the siege gun hitters were Earl Averill, Cleveland's veteran outfielder who now leads both leagues with an average of .384; Cecil Travis. Detroit's great second baseman who has played in all five games, and Joe Cronin of Bostn. All but Travis broke into last year's game. Other newcomers included Vern Kenedy and Rudy York oT Detroit and Clevelands schoolboy fast bailer. Bob Feller. The complete roster: New York: Joe DiMaggio cf. Red Rolfe 3b. Lou Gehrig lb. Bill Dickey c, Charley Ruffing p. Vernon

Thus, there may be little change from last year’s team which won its fourth victory in five games at Washington. 8 to 3. The pitching all will be new. Lefty Gomez is the only one of last year's three back again and his won and lost record of four and eight was the poorest of any. Both Mel Harder of Cleveland and Detroit's Tommy Bridges, who worked last year, were left off the list. New York. June 27.— tU.R)I—The 1 —The amazing Cincinnati Reds came up National League with another surprise today when they landed five men on the National league all-star team sot the fifth annual joust with an American league picked team at Cincinnati on Wednesday. July 6. The National league squad of 23 players, picked by a written vote of the eight managers, was announced by President Ford Frick. The team will be managed by Bill Terry. New York Giants' pilot. The honor goes to him automatically because he piloted last year's National league champios. It will be the third time Terry has managed the National league all-stars. He was beaten. 9-7. in 1934 and 8-3 last year. Cincinnati's five all-star players . are catcher Ernie Lombardi, pitchers Johnny Vader Meer and Paul Derringer, first baseman Frank MeCromick and outfielder Ival Good- ' man. All of them are likely to participate in the game unless Terry deems it unfair to work two . pitchers from the same club. i To the Reds also goes the honor of placing the only tw-o rookies 1 on the club, Vander Meer of no-hit. I none-run fame and McCormick, the I classy right-handed first baseman McCormick will play first base, making the first National league rookie ever to start the all-star game. If events preceding the game make it possible Vander Meer is almost certain to do a three inning stretch. The Chicago Cubs and New j Giants, the other two most serious pennant contenders, placed four men each o the squad. The Cubs landedcatcher Gabby Hartnett, also certain to be the starting catcher; pitcher Bill Lee, second baseman i Billy Herman, and third baseman j Stan ack. The Giants named were pitcher Carl Hubbell and outfielders Joe Moore, Hank Leiber and Mel Ott, who also can play third base. ’ Pittsburgh and Brooklyn placed three men each, the Boston Bees I two and the St. Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies one each. The complete squad follows: Catchers (3): Gabby Hartnett, Cubs; Ernie Lombardi, Reds; Gor-

June 27. — <U.R> —Picture a man reading the Sunday sports pages: Boston—War Admiral set to race Seabiscuit on Wednesday: This is getting to read like a headline out of Joe Miller's joke book. It was a good gag the first time it was pulled, but so was the one about the chicken crossing the road. The next news from Boston. I suppose, will be that War Admiral has come up with an ache in his pitching arm. or that Seabiscut has asked to be excused because it’s maid's afternoon off. or that owner Sam Riddle doesn’t think the Admiral should run because the sun is too bright, the breeze too soft, the birds singing too sweet, or something like that. One thing’s a cinch, though—if they don t run this time they never will. Because one more year and both horses will be so old they’ll be running under the colors of the Townsend plan. | Long Branch.

o Station Attendant Critically Wounded ■ Fort Wayne, June 27. — (U.R) — Max Bleekman. 22, Huntertown, fought for life today at St. Joseph s hospital while authorities sought the motive behind a shooting fray at a west side gasoline station early Sunday. Bleekman was shot three times by an unknown assailant who drove in the station drive-way. fired through the window at Bleekman, the attendant who was in a rear room playing a slot machine. Detectives reported that robbery definitely was not the motive, since Bleekraan's assailant did not get out of the car. Police investigated a theory that Bleekman might have been victim of a war between rival slot machine interests. o Railroads Continue To Seek Increase Washington, June 27 — (U.R) — ; Eastern railroads today resumed their drive for a half-cent per mile increase in passenger fares before the interstate commerce commission with a plea that fare differentials are diverting traffic from pullman to coaches.

SHAW TO DIE — (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I Ing Hurry Spice, a lai Grange conn!ty deputy sheriff last Dec. ’ a m| was sentenced to death by circuit : judge Clyde R Curlin of Angola. Dowd believed that only a Jury could tlx the death penalty on a plea of guilty, recalling u similar case in 1919 when two brothers’ sentences were commuted because a judge and not a jury had fixed tin, death sentence. Townsend had the attorney-gen-eral's office Investigate the law and last Friday they found that Dowd was thinking of an 1881 statute which was changed by another act passed in 1901 empowering a court to fix the death penalty on a plea of guilty regardless of a Jury. >So Shaw must die even though his hopes were teinporari'.y raised by the last minute, four-duy stay. Although Shaw is a British subject. there has been no intercession on his behalf by British authorities. Shaw wrote the English consul at Chicago, who merely forwarded his letter to Governor Towns-nd. A friend of Shaw’s in Toronto, Canada. sought a delay to allow him to receive communications from relatives and friend in England and India. but this also was to no avail. Shaw wrote his relatives after his conviction but has not heard from them since. Two brothers and sisters, Charles and George Shaw. Mrs. Mary Taylor and Mrs. Ethel Mitchell reside in Stanford. England. Shaw shot Spice to death at a La Grange county farm house when Spice and several other officers at-
