 Boston, July G. (uP) - Unless somebody iB pulling c fast one, Nc" tlcnal leaguers have ceased to re- gard the Rll-star game as an exni- bition of glorifled talent and to- morrow will shoot the works against the American league in the fourth annual midsummer classic at Bees field.
 It ell seems to narrow down to the point where the senior circuit feels It's honor is ct stake. The Nationals haven't won Q "dream game" since the Idea was thought up to aid indigent ball play- CTS. And their entry in the 1895 world series-the Chicago Cubs finished second to the Detroit Tigers.
 All of this you may know already. But repetition is necessary to show that President Ford Prick of the Nationals has pretty sound arsu- inent when he comes out and says his boys have got to 90 out there and dust of those pesky American leaguers tomorrow, or lose caste. And Brother Prick isn't fooling. |, For that matter, neither is Charlie Grimm, who pilots the Cubs when he isn't a-strummin' on the ole banjo. "Cholly" means to win this 1oS0 ail-star clash as manager of the Nationals. If nothing else, these would seem to Do the facts support. ing his case:
 With his own club fighting an old fashioned blood and thunder battle with the St. Louis Cards for top spot in the league, Grimm has gone and added his best right handler Curt Davis, and his own center fielder, Augie 0alan, to the slate of l6 fan.picked stars which already includes Willie Herman, Lon War. neke, Frank Demaree and 0abby fEartnett of the aforementioned Cubs.
 And from the St. Louis "gas house gang" which already as represented by Joe (Ducky.Wucky) Medwick, Dizzy Dean and rookie stu Martin, he has selected Lippy Durocher and Ripper Collins.
 All of that doesn't mean that prexy Will Harridge of the Ameri- cans and MT. Joseph Mccarthy of the New York Tanks will fold up and concede the match to Prick, Grimm & co.
 AS guest pilot of the Americans in place of the ailing Mickey Coch. rane of the Tigers, Mccarthy has made his i've personal choices from his own club and three of the four clubs giving his Bronx bombers the stifsest light (if we may call it thAt) for the flag.
 ehortstop Frank Crosettl has been chosen from the Tanks who al. ready have contributed Lou Qehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Bill Dickey, Lefty Gomez, Monte Pearson and George eelkirk. Tommy Bridges end Goose 0oDlin join echoolboy Rowe and Rick Terrell moves in with Jimmy Foxx and Lefty Grove from the Red eox while Mel Harder joins up with his fellow-C Clevelander, Earl Averiil. Where Grimm has added extra batting power and pitching and fielding strength, Mccarthy has chucked in the very same ingredi- ents in different uniforms. From this end 1t looks as # old Nose Grove will start against Curt Davis. But that's only c guess, as is the following starting lineup: American Crosetti (New York, ss 0ehringer (Detroit), 2b DiMaggio (New York), if 0ehrig (New York;, ib Averili (Cleveland), Of RadcliR (Chicago), If Higgins Philadelphia, 3b

 In reserve, Mccarthy can call upon Gomez, Bridges, Harder, Rowe and Pearson to relieve Grove; Luke Appling and Jimmy Foxx to work in the infield and 0oslin, Ben Chap man and George Seikirk to spell the outfielders, with Dickey and Rollie Hemsley to hold the catching fort. Hubbeil, Van Mungo and Warneke
 Grimm has the elder Dean, Carl to send to the mound; Arky Vaughan. Gus suhr, Stu Martin and Pinky Whitney for spare infield duty; Demaree, Wally Berger and Joe Moore for the outfleld and Ernie Lombardi to 60 behind the bat.
 With all reserved seats long since gobbled up, some 25,O00 unreserved pews will go on sale tomorrow morn iEg, making for capacity crowd of about 42OO0. Cxar Landis will lend his Ofiicial touch to the occasion-- shaggy white hair, chin on gnarled hands and all.
