of Detroit dominated an eight-man American league pitch
ing staff chosen i^day for the 14th All-Star baseball game
at Wrigley field next Tuesday^_
The mound corps was picxea oy
Manager Joe Cronin of the Boston
Red Sox, who will direct the
American Leaguers and whose
other personnel already has been
selected in a poll of 7,973,493 fans
conducted by the Chicago Tribune
and Associated Newspapers, radio
stations and magazines.
The American League All-Star
pitching nominations, besides Fel
ler and Newhouser, include fresh
man hot-shot Frank Shea, Spur
geon (Spud) Chandler and Joe
Page of the Yankees, Paul (Dizzy)
Trout of Detroit, Jack Kramer of
§t. Louis and Walt Masterson of
Washington.
In addition to the eight starters
named in the fan balloting, man
ager Cronin also followed poll
sentiment in rounding out the 25
played American League squad for
the battle with the National League
squad bossed by Eddie Dyer of
the St. Louis Cardinals.
The starting lineup, exclusive of
the pitcher, will be George Mc
Quinn, New York, first base; Joe
Gordon, Cleveland, second base;
George Kell, Detroit, third base;
Lou Boudreau, Cleveland, short
stop Buddy Lewis, Washington,
right field; Ted Williams, Boston,
left field; Joe DiMaggio, New
York, center field; and Buddy
Rosar, Philad', hia, catcher.
President Will Harridge of the
American League, in announcing
Cronin’s selections, pointed out
that the maneger would be unre
stricted in handling his team, with
two exceptions—the eight regulars
who topped the fan poll will start
the game and play a minimun of
three innings and no pitcher will
toil longer than three innings, un
less there 'is an overtime.
The Yankees, thanks to Cronin’s
three mound picks and fan senti
ment, will have the biggest all
star representation—eight players,
including Shea, Chandler, Page,
catcher Aaron Robinson, outfielder
Charley Keller, third basemtn Bill
Johnson, McQuinn and DiMaggio.
Cleveland and Detroit have four
players each. The Indian quartet
will include Feller, Boudreau,
Gordon and the only other catcher,
Jim Mullin.
Washington has three representa
tives, including Lewis, Masterson
and outfielder Stan Spence. Only
Williams and second-baseman
Bobby Doerr were nominated from
the league champion Red Sox. The
Chicago White Sox also placed
two players, shortstop Luke Ap
pling and first baseman Rudy
York, recently acquired from the
Red Sox.
Kramer was the only St. Louis
nominee, while starting catcher
Rosar was Philadelphia’s lone rep
resentative.
Coaches will be Steve O’Neill,
Detroit Tiger manager, and Del
Baker Cronin’s coaching aid at
Boston. The batting practice bat
tery will be Paul Schreiber, pitch
er, and Larry Woodall, catcher,
both of Boston. Red Sox trainer
Win Green will dispense the All
Star liniment.
It was the ninth all-star selection
for :he Yankees’ DiMaggio, - who
has played in every game from
1936 through 1942 and was named
to the 1946 team, but did not play.
Gordon has been named to six
previous teams, playing in five,
while Appling has played in three
of the six games in which he was
an All-Star squad member, York
previously was picked on six
squads and played in five.
Feller, who was the winning
pitcher in the 1946 All-Star game
has performed in four of the mid
summerd classics, yielding only
one run and, five hits in 11 2-3
innings.
Making their first all-star ap
pearance will be eight players—
Shea, Page, Masterson, Kell, John
son, Mullin, Hegan and Robinson.
Post Office Wins First
Half Hanover Loop Flag
The Post Office softball club clinched the first half Han
over league last night at Robert Strange park by squeezing
out a 7-6 win over a scrappy Senior Fraternity team in the
first game pf a doubleheader The Loyal Order of Moose
outscored the Veterans of Foreign Wars, 15-11, in the
second tilt. .
The Mailmen's triumph gave
them 11 victories against three
defeats for the first half. The
game went back and forth with
now one team ahead and then
the other until the last inning in
which pitcher LeRoy Towles of
Senior Fraternity practically toss
ed The game away by throwing
three wild pitches in succession
that permitted J. R. Davis of the
Postmen to counter the decisive
tally.
Besides crossing the platter for
the championship clinching run,
Davis also led his team at the
plate witlj, two hits in three at
tempts and pitched four-hit ball,
walking six, and striking out three.
Anderson smacked a home run in
one try to topr the Senior Frater
nity hitting parade.
The second game was a wild
slugging exhibition with pitchers
being treated rather roughly. Four
home runs were sailed out of the
park in the debacle. Robbins and
ZIMMERMAN TRADED
TO DETROIT LIONS
PHILADELPHIA, July 1 — (IP)—
Quarterback Roy Zimmerman,
long the passing arm of the Phila
delphia Eagles, was traded to the
Detroit Lions today in a surprise
move Coach Earle (Greasy) Neale
said was aimed at bolstering the
Eagle line.
In return, the Eag es received
Jim Kekeris, a huge tackle from
the University of Missouri, and
draft rights to Charles Hoover,
240-pound Vanderbilt University
center.
Zimmerman has been one of the
National Football League’s stand
outs, both offensively and defensive
ly, since the Eagles purchased him
from the Washington Redskins aft
er the 1942 season. In Washington
he was a little-known substitute
for the great Sammy Baugh.

Wilmington Juniors Try
For League Lead Today
The Wilmington American Legion baseball team has
a grand opportunity to bounce into first place this afternoon
at Laurinburg when it p lays the Laurinburg Juniors a
doubleheader starting promptly at 1:30 o’clock.
Right now Coach Tom Davis’ entry is one-half a game
behind the loopleading Whiteville
club of Earl Brinkley. Two wins
today would put the locals a half
game ahead.
Wilmington is expected to throw
the same batting lineup against
Laurinburg that smothered Red
Springs Monday night, 24-6, The
big three is this arrangement are
Eugene Smith, a left-handed slug
ging shortstop, Miks Austin, one
of the Eastern Conference’s lead
ing smackers, and big Jim Gibson,
who can pitch brilliantly as well
as carry a big war club.
Tracy Duval is slated to pitch
one of the two contests, but Coach
Davis has been tossing the coin
around to find out the other flipper
without any results.
The remainder of the Wilmington
lineup will probably find Bob
Lewis anchored at first base, Mike
Austin at second, Jimmy Stouden
mire at third, Eugene Smith at
shortstop, Johnny Crowley in left
field, Jere Hilburn in center field,
Jim Gibson in right field, and
Billy Smith catching one game
and Lloyd Parker the other.
For Laurinburg Shedds at first
base, Bounds at second, Peele at
third, and McFadden at short is
likely infield with the outfield con
sisting of probably Long, Faulk,
and Curry. Herndon is one of the
three first line pitchers Laurin
burg may call on.

Lento Socked For 15 Blows By Robins,j
Shortstop Hurt In Practice;
Bucs In Clinton
By JACK HULLETT
Star Sports Editor
Although locked securely in the Tobacco State league
basement, the Robins from Red Springs, who have been a
constant needle in the side of the Pirates all year, battered
A1 Yento 10-2 at Legion stadium last night, collecting 15
hits along the way.
Even worse than that, Freddy
Muscumeci was knocked out of the
lineup for at ieast 10 days when
he dislocated 'his right shoulder
going after a pop fly in batting
practice before the game. An
X-ray taken immediately after
ward at a local hospital showed
no broken bones.
To-night the Pirates pay a visit
to Clinton, and the Blues plya in
the stadium tomorrow night at
7:45.
Lento fanned 12 Robing durnig
the game and gave up only two
walks, and nobody seemed to know
why they got so many hits. But
they did, starting with four
bingles in a first inning two-run
splurge. They came up with their
biggest number of runs, five, in
the eighth inning.
Meanwhile, Pirate bats were
painfully silent. It was not until
the Robins had- pushed over all
of their runs that the Bucs could
even manufacture a couple of
tallies in the eighth. Jim Miller,
notching his fifth victory of the
season, allowed just eight hits,
only two of them coming in the
same stanza. From a Wilming
ton point of view, too whole thing
could have been j t forgotten.
Billy Benton was the -only Pirats
who helped his average any las:;
night. .-He hit two singles and al
double in. four tries. No other
Buc got more than one hi.. Lento's
double was the only other extra
base tap of the game for Wil
mington.
A constant pain in the left arm
tc Lento last night was Joe
Mangini, who hit a double and
three singles, batted in three runs,
and scored four himself. Mangini’s
double highlighted a four-hit at
tack by the Robins in the first
that almost drove Lento off to
an early shower.
The Pirate southpaw settled
down for three innings after the
initial frame, striking out five and
giving up only two bingles. But a
hit by Mangini. and error on the
part of Lento, a sacrifice by Bob
Wolfe, and an infield out gave
Red Springs a 3-0 lead in the
fifth.
They didn’t score again until
the seventh, when three singles
and a fielder’s choice netted two
more. Lento was plastered for
the final five in the eighth, with
the Robins batting around with
one left over. Arbruster got an
infield hit, and Lamb failed to nail
him at second on Harold Wood’s
vrcunder to Eob LaBlanc. Miller
Iso get an infield bingle, which
oaded the bases. A walk,.' two
hits and two errors followed be
fore Armbruster, up for the second
time, fanned to stop the spree at
five.
Wilmington’s two rung followed
in the last of the eighth. Roy
Lamb singled to right, and Harry
Bridges walked. Hoggy Davis
then hit a tremendous line drive
to the left field fence, where
Armbruster caught it on the
double-quick, robbing the Buc
right fielder of at least a double.
Lamb, who had reached third on
Harold Wood’s fourth passed ball,
scored fater the catch. Bob Steckel
singled to bring home Bridges,
but the rally was cut short when
Jim Staton fanned.
