81. LOUIS, july o.-IfJ-4He
rival managers haven't announced
their starting pitchers for the
major leagues eighth. annual ALI
Star baseball game here next Tues
day but it's a good guess that
Bobby Teller of the Cleveland In
dams will oppose Bucky Walters OF
the Cincinnati Reds.
Teller, the youthful fireball hurl-
er with 10 victories this season,
and Walters, the smooth, calculat-
ing type with II triumphs, would
offer a definite, contrasting ap-
peal to the fans. And from the
managers point of view, each has
the ability to hold the opposition
in check.
Hero of 80 Game
Feller was acclaimed the 1888
hero of the All-Star game with
his Init pitching for 8 2-3 innings.
He entered the fray in the sixth
with one out and the bases loaded
with National leaguers, and retir-
ed them without a run. The Ameri-
can league won as it has in five
of the seven contests played.
This. game is the nearest thing
to a World Series St. Louis has
had since the Cardinals defeated
Detroit in 1884 and cheering base
ball followers RI expected to fiji,
every one of the approximately, SO,
900 seats at Sportsman's Park.

Sox is the only n Of SC player.
