All-Stars : Linke Again Due Trial as Regular TERRY'S SELECTION SPURNS BEES ONLY Cubs, Cards, Bucs Are Well‘ Represented—Team Lacks Regular Third-Sacker. BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, June 28 —The all- star squad with which the Na- | tional League hopes to make it two straight over the Amer- fcan League at Washington, July 7, was announced today by Bill Terry, boss of the hand-picked forces as a result of leading his Giants to a pen- | nant last year. The squad of 22 players, sclected by Terry after consultation with rival strategists, includes all the headliners and represents every league club but the Boston Bees Terry’s own team tops the list with &ix delegates to the big show.. Chicago Cubs contribute five, the St. Louis Cardinals four and the Pitts- burgh Pirates three players.

Dizzy Dean and Carl Hubbell, quite naturally, top the hurling staff. Each has appeared in three of the four previous all-star games. Hubbell was the hero in 1934, although the Na- tionals lost the game after he left the box. Dean was credited with league's first victory, last year at Bos- ton Van Mungo, who has worked in one previous game, and three newcomers round out the pitching staff. Pitts- burgh’'s Darrell (Cy) Blanton is the most likely “freshman” to see action. Hartnett Lone “Four-Star” Man. LEO (GABBY) HARTNETT of the Cubs is the only “four-star” nom- ination. He has been behind the bat in every all-star game and probably will start this one. There's not much doubt that Johnny Mize of the Cardinals, another fresh- man selection, will start at first base, with Billy Herman of the Cubs in the keysone spot, for the fourth straight year.

OF THE previous ‘‘three-timers” in the all-star game, only two are missing, Wally Berger. Giants, right-hander.

BY SID FEDER, Associated Press Sports Writer. | OU couldn’t blame major league | | \J / magnates if they peeked under | | scoreboard or some such place today in the hope of digging up a rivalry to match the Carl Hubbell- Dizzy Dean duel. For, win, lose or draw between the | Giants' southpaw ace and tie Car- ‘dinsls‘ great popper-offer, any time those two go to the post against each other, they pack 'em in to the rafters. To the moguls. it didn't matter s0 much that Hubbell topped Diz like | & tent yesterday to take an 8-1 de- cision in the latest renewal of their | pitching rivalry. What was more in- teresting to the front offices was the fact that 38,719 fans made it look | like world series day in Sportsman’s | Park for the battle. ‘That crowd, added to the full houses that saw their two previous tussles, made it more than 120,000 who have turned out for the three Dean-Hubbell clashes this year. And if you believe it isn't that particular pitching rivalry which brings them out like flies to honey, take a look at some of the crowds that have not made the turnstiles click when others were out there on mound duty. Hubbell Confounds Critics. AND while the various other mag- nates consider ways and means of giving a shot in the arm to some such drawing card on their own be- half, it might be well to recall at this time that a lot of “experting” faces are plenty red these days over the Hubbell progress. Old Squarepants, after winning 24 straight, bogged down badly recently, dropped four in a row and was belted ouv six iimes running. Immediately the wolves were heard, and when Bill Terry continued send- ing him back time after time, there were any number of yelps that what Hubbell needed was lots of rest, not more work. But Terry and King Carl stuck to their guns, and Hubbell, never missing his regular turn, snap- ped back to form. Yesterday’s win, in which he al- lowed but six hits, fanned six and did not walk a man, compared to the 10| hits Dean gave up, was his second | straight. Achieved with the aid of two homers by Mel Ott, the win sent the Giants and Cards into a virtual tie for second place in the National League, Right on Cubs’ Heels. S THE Eastern teams headed home today, those two clubs were only half a game back of the league-lead- ing Cubs, who were soundly whipped by Brooklyn pitching in both ends of a double-header. Van Mungo fanned six to take the opener, 8-3, and Rookie Luke Hamlin hurled a three-hitter for a 6-3 nightcap decision. The Yankees, winding up a highly successful home stand with nine vic- tories against three defeats, trampled the Tigers, 9-5 as George Selkirk clouted his sixteenth homer. The de- feat dropped the Tigers into the American League third place, since the White Sox won their sixth straight by topping the Senators, 5-3, to re- turn to second. The “Athletics climbed out of the cellar by splitting with Cleveland's hapless Indians, George Caster's four- hit pitching taking the opener 10-0. Beaten twice by Boston's hot Rex Sox, 8-0 and 11-7, the St. Louis Browns nose-dived back into last place. ‘The Bees turned the tables on the Cincinnati Reds with a twin win, 8-2 and 10-5, and the Pirates nosed out the Phillies, 4-3, N WES FERRELL 2,4!’/ idh Vi g~ BUDDY MYER. & I All the Stars Won't Be There. three days.

Only two outflelders in the entire league, Beau Bell and Joe Di Maggio, are hitting higher than Rocky. He can go after fly balls and his throwing arm is one of the best in the business. More Indignant Snorts. OHNNY wasn't picked last year, either, but the ball players on the Washington club blamed it on the fans. Stone is no colorful character on the ball fleld. He just walks out and does his job in businesslike fashion with no flourishes and frills. The customers too often are inclined to overlook him, but this year the fans had nothing to do with picking the team. It was left up to the man- — agers. All of the pilots wrote out their suggestions and Joe McCarthy and Bill Terry, world series rivals the season before, chose from among them. Stone is one of that species who is called a “ball player's ball player,” but he wasn't even picked by a man (Mc- Carthy), who is intimately con- nected with the industry. The few Nats who were left in the club house snorted in indignation, too. Most of them took Rick Ferrell's ap- pointment for granted. The selections of Wes and Buddy Myer came as surprises and their good fortune was not begrudged. But Stone was the logical man among the Griffs . . . Stone, Rick Ferrell and maybe Monte Weaver. Rest Monte up for a few days and throw him in the game for three innings and his side could be assured of a real chance. Mr. Baxter Waxes Pessimistic. R. FRANKIE BAXTER, the assistant trainer, shrugged his shoulders in.resignation and prepared to order three new uniforms ... one each for the Ferrells and Myer. “Mr. Eynon (Secretary Edward Eynon) always wants our boys to make a good appearance,” he explained. ‘“Gee, I was s0 sure Stone was going to be picked that I would have sent for his uniform long ago. We (the American League) are going to get beat,” he added, sadly. “The team ain't the best in the league.” Mr. Baxter is not yet recognized as one of base ball's master minds, but when he said the team “ain’t the best in the league” he offered an opinion that is shared by a great many Ameri- can League fans. Instead of picking seven eut- fielders and seven infielders, Mc- Carthy selected his players on & six-eight basis. For his outfielders he has left- handed hitters in Averill, Cramer and Moses and right-handed swatters in Di Maggio, Walker and Bell. Exocept for Stone's absence this is okay. Take Stone, {Tin- | How can anybody pick seven outfielders and leave Averill, Walker, Stone, Bell, Di Maggio, Mme< and Cramer were Shucks, that's criminal.———— But, in selecting eight infielders, he chose two second basemen, three first basemen, two third basemen and —ONLY ONE SHORTSTOP. ‘With a fine disregard for the talents of Lyn Larry, Luke Appling and an all-around man like Ossle Bluege he| Grath of Australia, Baron Gottfried | selected Joe Cronin. This, too, is all right if all goes well. But suppose Cronin is hurt, especially in the early innngs? You can throw out the American League's chances of winning, probably, be- cause there is nobody else to play shortstop. 7, S'pose Cronin Is Hurt? OU GEHRIG and Hank Greenberg can't do it. They are first base- men and that's all. Charlie Gehringer? Nope. Buddy Myer? He would have to send his throws from deep short via parcel post. Certainly not Harland Clift or Red Rolfe, although the lat- ter is best qualified of the eight in- flelders. Jimmy Foxx? With a bow to his versatility, Foxx can't play short- stop. James Double-X can play first, third, the outfield and catch. But he is not noted for his shortstopping ability. The catchers were taken for granted. Rick Ferrell, Luke Sewell and Bill Dickey. They were ‘“naturals.” The pitchers selected by McCarthy may cause a bit of discussion. Tommy Bridges, Lefty Gomez, Bob Grove and Mel Harder were sort of taken for granted. Off his record with Wash- ington, Wes Ferrell belongs, too. And Monty Stratton of the White Sox, with eight wins as against four de- feats, had to be rated a candidate. But Red Ruffing was left off and a lot of people think that his record, experience and ability to hit rated him an edge over Stratton. And then, too, there is Roxie Lawson of the Tigers. Lawson leads all the American League pitchers with nine wins and only one defeat. Oh, well, it's an all-star game but all the stars won't be there. Scuttled CHICAGO. AB.

Charley Gehringer, still the league’s leading second baseman, is among the selections made by Joe McCarthy, manager of the American side by virtue of his leadership of the 1936 circuit champion Yankees. But the Tiger star has said he would rather not play because of an injury, so it looks as though Myer will get the call. Wes Ferrell, one of the four right-handers among the &ix pitchers chosen, has been among the league leaders since his recent transfer from the Red Sox to the Nationals, and his brother Rick, who came here with him in the deal, still is rated among the best in the catching business.

Just prior to yesterday's start he had won from Cleveland in a 14-to-5 game. Had not the Nats made 14 runs and 17 hits it is unlikely that De Shong would have finished, for he granted 13 hits Before that the Browns knocked him out in six ine nings and the Tigers blasted him from the box before he had pitched two innings.

As a matter of fact, it may bear fruit. Earlier in the campaign, when he was unable to get going, Harris made a relief pitcher out of De Shong, and | this role lasted only a couple of days. He got a chance to relieve and he did so well that he won over Cleve- land. He immediately was reinstated as a starter and he reeled off three, more victories in a row. The finale of the Sox set found the | Griffs as scary as the little kid of the neighborhood bully. As a result they | were unable to make good on a number of chances to turn the tide | and resignedly went down to their ninth defeat in 12 games this year with Jimmy Dykes’ crew. Incidentally, it was the Sox' twenty-fifth victory in their last 33 games with Wash- ington. The 5-t0-0 lead gained off De Shong' in the first part of the game was too | much to overcome, although the Griffs made threatening gestures toward the close. In the seventh a promising rally was nipped by & double play, and in the eighth, after rain had halted proceedings for 40 minutes, another double play ended an uprising. In the ninth they shoved across two runs, but the affair ended when Jess Hill, pinch-hitting for Rookie Bucky Jacobs, grounded out. Jess represented the tying run when he was at bat. P Jacobs, the former University of Richmond twirler, made his debut and wotked the final inning. He | gave up two bases on balls, no hits | and no runs.
