PART OF RECEIPTS TO CHARITY

WENTY-FIVE per cent of the money you put out to see the Indianapolis Indians battle the American Association All-Stars at Perry Stadium tonight will be contributed to the old ball players’ fund. . .. The home for the unfortunate veterans, some crippled, some ill, is maintained in California. Regular donations are made to others in all parts of the country who have no means of support... . Names of the recipients of the baseball charity fund are never published, but an accurate record is kept both at the California office of the protective association and Judge K. M. Landis’ office in Chicago. s ” ” » n n RNIE MEHL of the Kansas City Star was the first visiting A. A. writer to reach the scene of the All-Star action. . . . He rolled in with the Kansas City Blues Tuesday and announced that his team would push all others out of the way during the second half of the season. The All-Star game was saved a chunk of expense money by the Blues, five of whom are on the All-Star team. . . . Since the Little Yankees completed their Eastern swing here it was unnecessary to dish out rail fare for five pastimers. One year ago today in the A. A.

F 1937 offers any precedent, the players who will participate in the All-Star game here tonight, with few exceptions, may expect to find themselves in the majors next season. . . . Eleven of the 16 plavers, including all the pitchers, of the 1937 All-Star squad graduated to the majors. . . . Of the four twirlers, McGee and Macon are with the Cardinals, and Pressnell with the Dodgers. . . . Slaughter also is with the Cardinals, and Rizzo, a fourth Columbus player of 1937, with the Pirates. Two other outfielders are with the Chicago clubs, Reynolds with (Continued on Page 20)

‘They Keep Hustling,’ Schalk’s Explanation

Building anew around a flock of youngsters, Manager Ray Schalk of the Indians has upset the dope by keeping the Redskins at or near the top through most of the season. “They keep hustling,” is Schalk's explanation when the Tribe mentor is asked to account for the showing of his youthful charges. That, combined with good pitching, is what has kept the Indians on top and brought them the honor of playing host tonight to the league's All-Star team. Here's a brief sketch of the Redskins, present season records being based on the latest official averages:
