ever figured to oust Simmons
from top honors at this position.
Catcher

Catching honors for 1881 go to
Mickey Cochrane, as they had
in each of the three preceding
years.
Cochrane tops his field with
plenty to spare. Last season he
got some competition as a result
of Bill Dickey's brilliant perform
ance and Hartnett'S return to
the game after a years absence,
But neither Dickey nor Hart
nett has been a real threat at
any time this year. Virgil Davis,
of the PhillieS, has excelled Coch-
rane as a hitter, but the margin
is not heavy and Mickey gets the
call in all other features Of the
work.
Hogan and Wilson add a real
batting punch to their skill as
receivers but both rate several de-
grees behind Cochrane.
The Washington times., 1931-09-05
Second Base

Second base provided me with
the greatest problem I encoun-
tered in choosing this all-Star
team. 1 was able TO reduce the
field to three without much diff
Guilty and then the real contest
began. The choice rested among
oscar Melillo, of the st. Louis
Browns: Frank Frisch, of the st.
Louis Cardinals, and Max Bishop,
of the Philadelphia AS.
There was little to choose in
their hitting at the time the final
choice was made, all three being
close to the 300 mark. Frisch
had come along with a squirt after
playing far below his usual form
during the early part OF the
season.
Bishop, a remarkable lead off
man, was enjoying a good year,
but in the numerous games which
came under my personal obSerVa-
ton he did not play the brilliant
ball that l saw Melillo play. In
asmuch as the little Italian had
maintained his high standard Of
play from the opening of the sea-
son finally picked him over the
two others.
The Washington times., 1931-09-05
Left Field

A very familiar figure appears
in left field in the person of AL
Simmons of the world champion
AS. who gets an outfield place
for the fifth successive season. Al
was placed in center field in 1927,
and in left field in each team
named since that year.
There is no argument as to
Simmons right to the place this
year. "
He continues to stand out as
one of the games great hitterS
and brilliant defensive players.
Other left fielders who have
distinguished themselves this year
include Chuck Klein, who is
listed in right field on this team;
Ben Chapman, the seasons out
standing base Stealer; Johnny
Vosmik, the prize of the rookie
crop of outfielderS: Goose Goslin,
Chick Hafey and Johnathan
Stone. But none of this group

WHITE FEATHER

The Indian war cry will be
heard at the Clark Griffith
Stadium Wednesday night when
Chief White Feather goes into

ago but White Feather is much

Pitchers

For the first time in ten years
of choosing these teams I have
two left-handers as pitchers. One
is Lefty Grove of the AS, and the
other is Ed Brandt of the Boston
Braves. Grove has been a stand
cut all season and he figures, as
this is written, to be the first left
handler in big league history to
win thirty games in a season.
He lost only two Of his starting
games up to September, and these
two by scores Of 2-l and 10.
He set the 1881 record by win
ming sixteen in a row. From
start to finish there never was
any doubt as to his place as the
best pitcher of the year.
Brandt earns his choice by his
ability to win consistently with
the weakest scoring team in the
majors to furnish runs for him.
1t takes tighter pitching to win
for the Braves than for any other
league club, yet Brandt hung up
seventeen victories up to the first
of September.
Yves Ferrell, one Of my choices
last year, fell off considerably
this season. Earnshaw. Walberg
and Mahaffey did well, as did
Walker, Derringer. Grimes, Ell.
lott of the Phillies and Danny
MacFayden. I am not attempting
to class all the successful pitchers
but these names come to mind.
This completes the team. OF
the players named three are

sons preceding 1890, have had a
poor season. Both LindStrom and
OFT, who have played the posi-,
ton for the Giants, have also
batted below normal.
Among outfielders batting is an
all important factor, of course,
Among the players who have
stuck to right field all season I
would rate Earl Webb of the
Boston Red Sox as the outStand-
ing performer because Of his re-
markable long distance hitting,
but rate Klein superior to
Webb, and Klein is eligible for
right field rating.
The Washington times., 1931-09-05
Right Field

Chuck Klein. who was my
1880 choice for right fielder,
when he played regularly in that
position, is my choice again for
1881 though he has been moved
over to left field this season.
However, Klein has appeared in
right field this year and thereby
he is eligible for the place on
this all-Star team.

Each Has sWOn Four
Each team has won four games.
The cops copped the first four
games and the fire-eaterS took the
last four. This will be the decid-
ing contest for permanent posses
sion of a beautiful silver loving
trophy.

D|FFENBAUGH,
HUNTER PLAY.
VISITORS

Two golfers most in the public
eye, Billy Burke and George Won
Elm, will dig divotS in this neigh
borhood tomorrow afternoon
when they play an 18-hole exhibi-
ton match with ]. Monro Hunter,
Sr., and George Diffenbaugh, In.
dian Spring pros, over the Indian
Spring course. Play will be called
at 2 p. m.
Burke and Won Elm wrote the
weirdest page in golf history,
fighting through la holes OF
tense golf for the 1881 national
open golf championship at Inver-
ness, Toledo, Ohio. Burke won by
. margin Of one stroke.
Won Elm came nearer winning,
yet losing, than any other entrant
in the national open. Won Elm,
the business man golfer" who has
crossed something like $4,000 in
one year since vacating the anna
teur ranks, was Bobby Jones
greatest rival among the anna
teurS. He beat Jones for the ma
tional amateur title at Baltusrol,
N. j., in 1926.
Burke and Won Elm will be
tackling strong duo in Hun
ter and .Diffenbaugh tomorrow.
The Indian Spring pair, the
giant Hunter and the pygmy
Diffenbaugh, have bOwled over
golfers every whit % Skillful as
Burke and Won Elm. The Wis
itOrs will have no jOyride over
the Indian Spring cOurSe-nOt
with Hunter and Diffenbaugh
blocking traffic.
The stroking styles Of Burke
and Won Elm differ. Burke has
been forced to modify his style
because he had only four fingers
ON his left hand. Ordinarily, the
too-Strong right hand produces q
chronic hook, but the champion
has developed a remarkably con-
sistent game despite this handl-
cap. Of all the experts playing
today, Burke uses the right hand
most in his shots.
Lurches In Iron Shots
Won Elm, spectators will notice,
has q peculiar hitch or lurch in
playing iron shots. He Sways
dangerously on the back swing,
but locks himself Stoutly at the
moment of impact, delivering a
jewel of an iron shot. His best
work through the fairway is done
with the spade mashie.
Won Elm rs q putter Is q curl
Gus mixture of capability and
failure. Twice at critical juno
lures i'm the Inverness struggle,
he three-putted.
Burke has not been active in
tournament play since the open.
but Won Elm has demonstrated
that the Inverness incident was
no flash in the pan, by taking
third money in the rich st. Paul
open. To be exact, he shared 1t
with Walter Hagen, both trying
at 284. Won Elm started with
two 69's, then slipped to a "A and
finished with a 70. Horton Smith
won with the low score Of 27S,
with Harry Cooper next at 2Sl.
