COLUM’BUS. ©Ohio, July 27.-—The top hands of the American Association gathered in Ohio's capital today, ready for the fourth annual all-star base ball rodeo at Red Bird Stadium to- | night, in which the talent from seven | clubs will oppose the Columbus team. Five members of the loop-leading | Minneapolis Millers appeared on the starting line-up announced by Man- ager Allan Sothoron of Milwaukee, who will try to master-mind the All- Stars to victory. Sothoron, however, said that in all probability the entire squad of 18 All- Stars would get into the fray.

BY CONNIE MACK HILADELPHIA, July Di Maggio is the No. 1 ball player of the majors. Naturally he also is the top drawing card, and I fee! tract as many—or more—fans than did the unforgettable Babe Ruth. I also feel Joe is destined to wipe out some of the Babe's great records be- fore he finishes. As an outfielder, Joe has no weak- nesses. He's a regular falcon running down fly balls and liners, a heavy and spec- tacular hitter, a lightning runner and can throw a strike to the catcher from a corner in the park. I don't suppose Col would take any player in either league for Joe. In every way Joe is a standout sides, he's a splendid youngster; not the least turned by his success. The best proof is he's a favorite with the players. Be- Best of Right-Hand Hitters.

Barring injuries. he will hit more homers than anybody in the majors this year. Bound to Reach Record. JVEN if he doesn't catch Ruth's record this year, he will later. In his early 20s, he should be good for 12 or more major seasons Tall and willowy, Joe weighs close to 200, yet he has terrific speed Most important. he has base ball instinct, always doing the right thing. 1 never sxaw him make the wrong play and he has the fire to do his greatest playing when the stakes are biggest.
