0HICAGO, June 13. Bucky
Harris was not sure be was
~ allowed to reveal his selec-
tons for the American
Leagues all-star team which will op-
pose the National Leagues finest on
July at Cleveland.
Neither was he sure ne was pro-
hibited, so Bucky compromised last
night, and the inquisitives played q
guessing game. Bucky furnished no
names, only the teams furnishing So
and-so In the various positions.
The two dream game" teams this
year. for the first time, will be selected
by the Is major league managers.
Heretofore the fans and only the two
rival pilots have done the picking.
Washington's best bet? WELL" said
Bucky, ION my list he Is an inf1elder."
That wasn't hard. Who else but
Capt. Buddy Myer2
Detroit, New York, Boston and
Cleveland furnish the hurlers on
Bucky'S list. Five pitchers are named
by each manager. Thus one of these
teams provides two. Bucky confessed
1t was Detroit.
Tough to Guess Pitchers.
GUESSING the pitchers was tough
- est. Tommy Bridges and Lyn-
wood Rowe seemed the logical Tiger
hurlers in spite of Rowe's mediocre
start. This guess-and several others
was supported by general explana-
ton by Bucky.
"On the theory that each pitcher
is going to work only three innings, I
should pick men who were noted for
their STUFF and speed when they had
to put 1t out. BY that mean, there
are many pitchers-Earl Whitehin, for
instance-who could start and pitch
you a nice game next month In Cieve-
land. But Earl isn't exactly o fellow
who can step in as O relief pitcher
and burn 'em across for three innings
so fast that the batters hardly can
see EN-"
Well, Bridges certainly is q great
pitcher, and Rowe seems to fit Harris
explanation. Mel Harder, of course,
was not hard to guess as Cleveland's
probable contribution.
The Yank and Boston entries were
difficult, however. Vito Tamulis?
Johnny Broaca? Johnny Allen? All
are good pitchers, but they didn't f1t
into what Harris hinted. Lefty Gomez?
Yep, he seems to fit. Record or no
record this season, Fl Goof can fog"
that ball across when 1t Is necessary.
Choosing the gent from Boston was
tough. We picked Grove over Yves
Ferrell for the same reason that we
think Bucky has Gomez on his list.
Bucky didn't mention the White
Sox during the pitching guessing game.
That means Johnny Whitehead, the
sensational rookie, Is out.
Infield, OutfieId Easy.
THE infield and outneld were COM
paratively easy. He named his
infleld selections as playing on five
clubs. Philadelphia had the odd one.
Jimmy Foxx, of course, and then the
guessers were stumped. Pinky Higgins
pops to mind, but one peek ut Pinkyis
batting average and he is out. Your
correspondent Is willing to bet q
plugged nickel it was on Eric McNair.
Boston's infield would be Joe Cronin,
what with Bill Werber having his
struggles. Detroit's would be Charley
Gehringer, New York's Lou. Gehrig.
Myer is the other.
The catchers are three and, on
Bucky's list. from three different clubs
New York. st. Louis and Detroit.
That isn't hard. Bill Dickey, RoIlie
Hemsley and Mickey Cochrane.
AS and Tribe Favored.
PHILADELPHIA and Cleveland each
= furnishes two of the half dozen
outflelders Bucky named, completing
his list. Bob johnson is a sure thing,
OF course. Rog Cramer seems next
best Of the AS, and you cannot get
