does not agree with the

Frisch thinks the conditions
which prevailed in the summers
Of 1888 and 1894 were ideal, in

fans of players for this classic
were concerned.
Here's how Fordham Frankie
figures:
"The A1-Star game was
started by the fans and is sup
ported by them.
"Al1 year around the fans
have to take the players the
managers pick for them. This
is one game where the fan has

manager and, since there's moth.
ing official about it, 1 believe
the fan shouldn't be deprived of
that privilege.
anyway, experience of the
last two years has proved that
the fans always choose the best
men in both leagues for the
places on the team. I'm willing
to bet that of the 20 players 1
pick this year, at least Is would
be ON the squad If the fans
voted. There is bound to be
some dissatiSfactfOn-yOu can't
please everybody-but if the
fans knew they had picked the
teams, they'd be absolutely salts
