Greater Array Os Talent For All-Star Game New York. Juno 15 — (t'P> | The fan*. and not tin- writers, pick! the xquails for the annual major league all-fltar game so this vote doesn’t count, but here's an offday one man straw poll anyway today for 50 players who could put on quite a show in the classic at St. Louis on July 13. Browsing through the books a.< the teams took time out for travel, the first conclusion was that there is greater array of talent in the majors this year than at any time rime before the war. Along with the new stars there are many old timers who are completing the comeiuo ks they started when the. 1 returned from military service. For the national league the out field choices here would be Stan Muslal of the Cards batting 378, Tommy Holmes of the Braves at .373. Richie Ashburn of the Phillies at .311. Carl Furillo of Brooklyn. .301, Ralph Kiner of Pittsburgh. .286, and Hank Sauer the Reds. .277.

against Ted Williams of the Red Sox. the major league's top batsman cl a breath-taking .398, Pat Mullin of Detroit. .388, Johnny Lin dell of New York. .325 A) Zarilla of the Browns. .335. Joe Dimaggio of New York. .280, and fancy-field-ing Elmer Vaio of lhe Athletics. .283. In the infield the choices here are Johnny Mize of the Giants at .253 J and Jackie Robinson of the Dodgers at .276 for first base against George McQultin of the Yankees, batting 303 and Mickey Vernon of the Senators. .303. The oid Eddie Stanky-Peewee Reese keystone combination would look nice reunited for one afternoon with Stanky batting .276 at Boston and Reese 2K3 for the Dodgers. Without doubt the top American league combination would be the Uiußoudreau • Joe Gordon tandem from the Cleveland Indians Boudreau. in addition to being rhe top shortstop in basehali is hatting .363 while Gordon though hitting only .259 Is on the rise. At third base Bob Elliott of the Braves, .the national leagues most valuable player last season with a mirent .273 average, may face George Kell, veteran all-star performer from Detroit, now batting 332 Reserve infielders in the national could he Marty Marion at shortstop from the Cardinals, batting .253. third baseman Frankie Gustine of the Pirates. .352: and utility man Sid Gordon for the Giants at .329. In the American the other infielders whoifigure are 41-year-old Luke Appling of the White Sox. batting .310 and available at either short or third, and Cleveland slugger Ken Keltner. the league's top home run hitter with 14, playing third and batting .807. Bobby Brown, hitting .344 for the Yankees, would be a great utility man on any all-star team. Three able receivers Phil Masi of Boston at 252. Bob Scheffing of he Cuba. .310, and Bruce Edwards of Brooklyn, also .310 are the national league catching choices. Walker Cooper probably would make the squad if he recovers from injuries In time, but as of now the old Giant pro can't be counted on. The American league .receivers are Birdie Tebltetts of the Red Sox, an able workman and a .305 hitter, lint H-igan. brilliant handler of pitchers but a light sticker at .234 with the Indians and the erratic

hut slugging Yogi Berra of rhe Yankees at .286. The managers of the all-star squads. Bucky Harris of the world champion Yankees and Leo Durocher of the national league champion Dodgers reserve the right to select their own pitchers but managers have been second-guessed before so this is a first guess as to how they might he second guessed For the nationals it could be Elmer Riddle (7-21 of the Pirates, Harry Hrecheen (6-21, Cardinals. Uirry Jansen (6-3), Giants. Herman Wehmeter i5-l). Reds, Warren Spahn. (5-3) and Johnny Sain (Ml, Braves. Joe Hatten (5-3) Dodgers and Johnny Schmitz (6-7). Cube. In the American such hands as Vic Raschl (7-1) and Allie Reynolds (6-3) Yankees. Joe Coleman (7-2) Athletics. Hal Newhouser (7-4) Tigers. Bob Lemon (9-3) and Boh Feller 5-6) Indians. Ray Scarborough (5-2) Senators, and Joe Dobson (7-4* Red Sox. look good from here. The national squad, as of now, would have it over the Americans on home runs with rookie Sauer of the Reds the major league leader with 19 and Kiner next with 17. Keitner is top man in the American with 14 and he hasn't hit one for days. On pitching the eight American leaguers selected here have won 53 games and lost 26 thus far. The national league octet has collected but 45 wins while losing 25.

Bass, Pike Season To Open Wednesday 1 The long awaited hour Is approaching and at 12:01 a m. Wednesday, fishing for bass and pike in all Indiana lakes and streams again becomes legal. The closed | season comes to a close at mid- ' night tonight Many Adams county fishermen ' left today for their favorite fishing grounds to help open the Infant season. There has been no dosed season on bluegills In Indiana this year but the usual 45-days ban on bass and pike has been in effect. It is again legal to seine for minnows and to have up to 500 in possession at one time for fishing' purposes. The frog season also is open In Indiana and possession' of 25 frogs is legkl. Fishing held the attention of most sportsmen today, however, and early tomorrow morning Indiana lakes and rivers will be crowded with the anglers looking for the hlg ones. According to fishing calendars, the big catches won't come for several days, but most fishermen are prone to close one eye to the forecasts and open the season at the appointed hour wl(h a hope that the forecasters are wrong. Monroeville Coach Signed At Elkhart Elkhart. Ind . June 15 — (UP) — I Bill Milliner, who coached the Monroeville high school basketball | team to its first regional champion-i ship in history last season, today was signed to a one-year contract as net coach at Elkhart high school. Milliner succeeds Johnny Lonsfellow, who resigned to become basketball coach at Indiana State Teachers college at Terre Haute. Milliner previously had signed a three-year contract to coach at Flora but he was given a release to take the Elkhart Job. TRIPLE (Cent. From Page One) group by acclamation and the Democrats, profiting by the exper- 1 fence of the GOP with the new convention routine, were expected to wind up business far short of the 10 hours required by the Republicans last Friday. Like the Republicans. the Democratic rules committee verted last night to have no nomination speeches and decided a simple majority of delegates present would nominate any candidate. Henry Schricker. the “man In the white hat" who served as Indiana's governor during most of World War 11. went into the convention the favorite to cop the gubernatorial nomination. Ills backers openly boasted he would be nominated on the first ballot. But his opponent. Harry McClain. former state Insurance commissioner, claimed new support which he predicted would stop the Schricker move. The gubernatorial nomination was las' on the convention agen da. Before that, the delegatee listened to keynote speaker Rep Ray Madden, one of the two Hoosier Democrats In congress, and adopted their platform. By acclamation, the seven un-

opposed candidates went on the party ticket. They were! James M. Propst, Terre Haute school teacher, for state auditor; Deane E. Walker. Culver, for superin tandent of public Instruction; J. Emmett McManamon. Indianapo- , lis. for attorney gem-ral; Paul 0. , Jasper. Fort Wayne, supreme court judge; F. Leroy Wiltrout. Elkhart, northern district appellate court judge; Warren W. Martin. Boonville, southern appellate court judge; Mrs. Eudora Kelley. Nashville for reporter of supreme and appellate courts. A threeway race for secretary of state, the battle for state treasurer, and a fight for the lieutenant governor post shared attention with the Schrick'-r McCiain struggle. Convention Displays Entry By Anspaugh An entry submitted by luiwrencc Anspaugh. Decatur photographer, was one of a select number chosen for exhibition during the three-day convention of the Indiana association of photographers at Indianapolis last weekend. This is the second consecutive year that Anspaugh has been grant- , ed this recognition. Proceding the convention, professional photographers from all over the state submit portraits for competition, and Anspaugh's was one of those selected. Industry Committee Os C. Os C.
