New Yorkers Place 6 Men On 1943 Team
CHICAGO, July 1 (U. P), = The pace-setting New York Yankees and the fourth-place Cleveland Indians dominate the membership of the American league team announced today for participation in the 11th annual major league allstar game at Philadelphia July 13.
Six members of the defending champion Yankees and a like number from the Indians were named on the squad of 25 players picked by a vote of the circuit's managers. Topping the New York nominees was the perennial choice, Catcher Bill Dickey, who was named for the ninth time, The only years Dickey has failed to win an all-star berth since the game was inaugurated were 1033 and 1935. A year ago he wag nominated, but unable to play because of an injury. Yank Pitchers Chosen Other Yanks selected were Pitchers Krnie Bonham and Spurgeon (Spud) Chandler, Second Baseman Joe Gordon and Outfielders Charley Keller and Johnny Lindell, Manager Lou Boudreau headlined the Cleveland selections. The other Tribe nominees were Pitchers Al Smith and Jim Bagby, Third Baseman Ken Keltner, Catcher Buddy Rosar and Outfielder Jeff Heath. George Case and Bob Johnson, the talented outfielders who have led the sensational spurt of Wash|ington into second place, feature a [four-man representation for the | Senators. The other Washington [choices are Catcher Jake Early and Pitcher “Dutch” Leonard. The Boston Red Sox placed three men, Bobby Doerr, Tex Hughson and Oscar Judd on the team. Detroit and St, Louis placed twos men each. The Tigers honored were First Baseman Rudy York and Pitcher Hal Newhouser, while Outfielder Chet Laabs and Shortstop Vernon Stephens were named from the Browns,
One Place Each
The Chicago White Sox and Philadelphia Athletics each have one place. Luke Appling, veteran shortstop, was the lone White Sox performer chosen, and First Baseman Dick Siebert was selected from the Athletics’ roster. Joe McCarthy of the Yanks will manage the team, His coaches will be Lena Blackburne of the Atheletics und Art Fletcher of the Yanks. Thirteen members of this year's all-star team are repeaters from the 1942 outfit. Nine other members of { the team of last season now are in the armed services. Next to Dickey in point of service with the all-stars is his teammate Gordon, who was named for the (fifth time. Johnson, York and | Keltner were named for the fourth time,
Target for Criticism As is always the case, the squad will be a target for criticism. The omissions likely to cause the | greatest flurry are those of Outfielders Oris Hockett of Cleveland, who has been near the top of the batting race all season; Dick Wakefield, the Detroit rookie who gener ally is acclaimed the outstanding first year man in the circuit; and Pitcher Jess Mores of the Athletics, who topped the moundsmen | throughout the early portion of the | campaign. | McCarthy will be unrestricted on the handling of the pitchers, except no pitcher can work longer than

Ford Frick Picks His ‘Boys’
To Turn Back Junior Loop
By OSCAR FRALEY
United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, July trols the destinies of the National “boys”
1.—Ford Frick,
the bushy-haired gent who conleague, shattered a precedent of
to defeat the American league's finest
in the 11th annual all-star game at Philadelphia July 13.
' in the senior circuit, “This year I think we'll them,” he said. “I've never gone out on a limb like this before, but! then I've never felt so confident,
“You know this game, in the ma-
power’
a battle between American leaguc power and National league pitching Well, just look at the averages and you'll see that this ‘year we still have the pitching—and we've also got the brawn.”
Gloats Over Players Frick was gloating over the play-
ers named by the managers of both |
leagues, for the game under the lights at Shibe park. “There isn't any question in my mind that our pitchers compare with theirs,” he said. “You couldn't ask for a much better group of pitchers tian Mort Cooper, Johnny Vander Meor, Claude Passeau, Howle Pollet, Max Lanier, Al Javery and Rip Sewell.” But his greatest delight was the fact that for once his circuit apparently had an edge in power, “Only three of the 25 men on the American league squad are hitting over .300,” he explained. “We have eight men who are topping that mark at the plate. Peculiarly enough, we have had an edge In power all season, There are 18 men in the National league who are hitting better than .300—including all of our first 10. The American league has only 13 men over that mark, seven of them being among their first 10.
Cardinals Set Pace
“In addition to’ having a balance of power there are other methods of measuring the caliber of the leagues. For instance, our Cardinals are setting the batting pace with a .265 mark against 254 for the Cleveland Indians, the American league leader. In club fielding, our Cincinnati team has a .9

“Why we've even got them beaten |in the brother department,” he chuckled. “They don't have one | set—but we've got two, the Walkers, Harry and Dixie, and the Coopers, Mort and Walker.” “Yes, I think we will win this year. But then, vou know I believed we'd win last season, and they beat us, 3-1. But I don't see how they can stop us this year, confidentially you know.” Whatta you mean, confidentially, Mr, Frick?
Toronto Hol Holds 3<G;ame Lead

134,578 Fans Crowd Stands For Baseball's Charity Day
By PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, July 1-—Batting averages and pitching records took a back seat today in the major leagues as baseballers thumbed through
the records of the game's first 1043 war charity day-—and the figures
were good enough to push the sluggers and hurlers well out of the spot
light,
A total of 134,578 fans crowded the eight ball parks and were treated
to festivities on a par with world series and opening day frills. Field events, exhibition games and the appearance of notables from stage, screen and radio helped make it a gala day. War charities received all proceeds. The American league, with three night games and one twilight affair, took attendance honors with 72,213 fans and also snared single game laurels with 29.495 spectators at the White Sox-Senators game at Chicago. Dodgers Still Trail
Top crowd for the National league was 26,803 which watched Cincinnat! bow twice to the Dodgers at Ebbets field. Receipts for the day were not all available but for three games in the senior circuit the take totaled $61,666.98 and with the New YorkCleveland $25,000 figure brought the to $86,666.98. The final total may go close to the $200,000 mark when all returns are in.
Figures also took a dominant place in the National league standings where by a queer quirk, the Dodgers, although ahead of the Cardinals in games won still trailed St. Louis by five percentage points. The Dodgers drubbed Cincinnati, 5-0 and 11-5 while the Cardinals came back for a 5-0 nightcap vietory after losing the opener, 4-3 to the Giants to leave the standings like this: St. Louis ...... divi 38 23 .623 Brooklyn 42 26 .618 Veterans Curt Davis and Bobo Newsome, led Brooklyn to its double win. Davis allowed only four hits in the opener for his second straight shutout as Brooklyn clubbed Johnny YanderMeer into submission with 10 hits. Newsom relieved Whit Wyatt before the end of the nightcap's first Inning and coasted to his eighth win behind a 16-hit barrage.
Fly Wins Contest
Buster Maynard's long fly sent home the winning run for the Giants in the 10th inning after Sid Gordon had singled and reached third on Mort Cooper's wild pitch. Howie Pollet, St. Louis southpaw, throttled the Giants with six hits in the nightcap. The Cubs ran their winning streak over Boston to six in a row by halting the Braves, 6-2 and 5-4. Hi Bithorn chalked up his eighth win in the first game with a sevenhitter and Bill Nicholson poled his eighth homer in the ninth inning with two out and none on to win the nightcap. The Phillies and Pirates battled to an 11-inning, 3-3 tie in a game called because of the league regulation forbidding a night game from starting an inning after 11:50 p. m. The Phillies tied it in the seventh, Danny Murtaugh singling home the first run and Ron Northey's onebagger pushing over the other pair. St. Louis climbed out of the American league cellar by beating the 2s: who fell to last, 3.1.
A. L. Takes Top Honors
A total of 134,578 fans packed eight stadiums yesterday in the major leagues first all-our program for war charities, The American league took total attendance honors with 72,213 fans and single game laurels with 29,405 fans watching the night game at Chicago between Washington and the White Sox. The National league drew 62,365 spectators with the biggest throng —26,803—witnessing the CincinnatiBrooklyn double-bill at Ebbets field. Complete financial figures were not available but returns for four games showed a total of $86,666.98. The figures:
