NEW YORK. June 23 -GN8F
Many fans complain that they have
a hard time making their selections
In balloting for the annual ail-star
game to he played In Brooklyn
July 12.
We are not surprised. The cold
f*ct Is then- are not enough players
In the majors to rank as truly great
players ~ the kind you expect to
find in such a game. .
Ihe outfield selections are easy
because there slUl ore many stars
rooming the outer gardens, off-
hand you can name Ted williams.
Don Dimaggio. Dale Mitchell,
Tommy Henrtrh and Larry Doby
and n«t be far wn.ng in American
League picks. These fell® ws
would have been good enough to
make any team In almost any year.
perilous you wouldn’t want to
rank them with Cobb, Speaker, or
High hut they could ue lesa classy
than that r agical trio and still
he ere at.
The same goes for the Notional
League outfield with fellows like
Mar Muslal, Ralph Kiner. Bobby
Hiompun. Country .slaughter and
Willard Marshall doing their stuff.
when you look with a dispassion-
ate non-partisan eye on the list
of catchers, first baseman, second
basemen and thirl basemen you
are amu/ed how few truly top-
grade ones there are.
