 Chicago, July 1-(UP)-The Amer ican League will rely on its siege gun hitters in the ninth annual all- star game against representatives of the National League at Detroit, July g.
 From the 25 player roster selected by the eight managers and an- nounced today by league President will Harridge, the American League can field a team with a batting av- craze of nearly .340-ranging from the .404 of Boston,s Ted Williams to the .286 of C1eveland's Ken Keltner, only third basemaI1 on the squad.
 This is team of sheer power, packed with so much, in fact, that Joe DiMaggio of New York, greatest consecutive game hitter of modern baseball, could find himself the weakest hitting outfielder on the field if Manager Del Baker of De- troit chose to pair him with Will Hams, Jeff Heath of Cleveland, or Roy Cullenbine of St. Louis.
 As manager of the 1940 American League champions, Baker will di- rect the All-Stars.
 For at least three innings, the American leaguers also will have an edge in pitching or as long as Bullet Bob Teller of Cleveland is allowed to work. The Indians fire baller had 16 victories up to Mon- day with only three defeats charged against him.
