HAFE A HOUR PAST CLOCK - PUNCHIN' PERIOD / WAL 22 IT'S ON ACCOUNT OF _IT'S RAINING SO HARD OUT THIS MORNING, BOSS. American Leag By DILLON GRAHAM Sports Editor, AP Feature Service NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—There are only two easy jobs in choosing an All-Star baseball team: scribbling Joe DiMaggio and Bucky Walter on your ballot. Then the sniping begins from all sides. Any sports writer who dares to name a team of aces can probably ward off any objections to Bill Dickey’s selection but the arguments will come thick and fast as the other stars are nominated. But, to dally no longer, here’s our idea of the 1939 major league All- Star personnel: First base, Jimmy Foxx, Boston Red Sox. Second base, Joe Gordon, New York Yankees. Shortstop, Joe Cronin, Boston Red Sox. Third hase, Robert (Red) Rolfe, Yankees. Left field, Joe Med- wick, St. Louis Cardinals. Center MRS. JAY SMITH ue Aces & — FFING Pk 7 WOT?2 YUH MEANS T'SAY A YOUNG WHIPPERTSNAPPER LIKE YOu COMES IN LATE BECUZ OF A DERN DRIZZLE2 Dominafe Aoy lrield, Joe DiMaggio, Yankees. Right field, Ted Williams, Boston Red Sox. Catcher, Bill Dickey, Yankees. Pitchers, Bucky Walters and Paul Derringer, Cincinnati Reds; Bob Feller, Cleveland Indians, and Charles (Red) Ruffing, Yankees. This Is Why Here are our reasons: First Base: Foxx is one of the marvels of the age. When most veterans are beginning to cool off, Foxx still is at his peak. He won the batting championship in 1938 and was runner-up to DiMaggio this season with a .358 figure. He was out the last few weeks of the season because of an appendectomy. Johnny Mize, wheel-horse of the rampageous St. Louis Cardinals, merits serious consideration be- cause he was National League bat- ting champion. However, his aver- age, .349, isn't as good as Foxx’s, and in a full season he drove in only four more runs than Foxx’s 105 in an abbreviated campaign. Foxx is a better defensive player. These two get the edge over such other aces come up with impossible plays. Both Doerr and Gehringer have outhit him, but Gordon has driven in far more runs. Shortstop: It's a duel between Joe Cronin, Luke Appling of the White Sox, Jimmy Brown of the Cardinals, and Frank Crosetti of the Yankees. Cronin gets the nomination chiefly because he carries the heaviest bat and is a fighter all down the line. He won't cover ground with the others. Weak hitting removes Cros- etti. Third Base: Rolfe is at his peak this year and has a slight margin over Ken Keltner of the Indians. Rolfe led his league ir runs, hits and doubles. Left Field: This spot gives us our toughest problem and, in a sort of flip-the-coin decision, we picked Medwick over that grand Philadel- phia Athietics’ veteran, Bob John- son. Big Bob had his best season with an average of .338 and with 110 runs batted in. Medwick, whose bat helped keep St. Louis in the Na- tional League race right down the big team, CORNELLIN | BIG STRIDE BUT I THOUGHT You wouLp!
