KY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

She cannot ski, She cannot skate, For winter sports She has hate. Whats the use Of piles of snow, And getting cold Shed like to know. As for the crowds Who go each week Of on snow trains And pleasures seek, Do they really like it? Or actually care to ski, Or are they scared Like you and me? Maybe they're just onlookers Kidding along with snow glasses, But when it comes to sports Just manage few passes, And most of the day In the great open spaces Try to keep warm and Avoid frozen faces. No, she cannot ski, She cannot skate, For winter sports She has hate.

Nothing Wrong With All Star;
It's a Se||out Even in St. Louis

Joe Gordon selected Charley Gehringer, Bobby
Doerr and Don Heffner: Red Rolfe and Ken Keltner
over Cecil Travis and Pinky Higgins. and so on
down the line.
EACH MANAGER HAS 25 MEN,
THE PICK OF HIS CIRCUIT
JNRIJE all-stars have been named on past perform
l. ances but the fans did the same thing when they
had vote.
After all, II Joe Cronin OF the Americans doesn't
care for the pitching of Thomas Bridges, Ruffing
Monte Pearson and Dutch Leonard he still has
Rapid Robert Teller Buck Newsom and Al Miner.
Cronin doesn't have to employ Dickey behind the
bat. Rolly Hemsley and Frank Hayes are available.
II Bill McKechnle of the Nationals doesn't be-
Heve Frank Mccormick Is hitting enough. he can
turn TO Johnny Mze, etc.
The point is that each manager has 25 players
the pick of his respective league even allowing
for several doubtful nominees each side.
IT'S o. X. AS LONG AS OWNERS
PERMIT GAME TO BE PLAYED
THERE is talent galore. It's swell show for
L S142 which happens TO be the reserved seat price
in st. Louis. The best proof Is all reserved seats
were sold a week before the engagement. Sports
mans Park seats $4,000 The All-star game will
play to than $4,000.
The major league magnates would save their
managers lot of trouble and win back many
friends by giving the All-Star game back TO the
paying guests.
But regardless of how the players selected
il will be quite all right with the Association OF Pro-
fessional Ball Players of America and lot Of 9TH
er. just long as the owners permit the game TO
be played
It's the one fine thing professional baseball does
of its own.
