BY CHARLES DUNKLEY

= CLEVELAND, O., July =
(R-A great, patriotic throng
of $4,000 to 10000 spectators is
expected to comfortably fill
Cleveland's massive municipal
lake front stadium tonight to
witness the greatest stars in
baseball battle to swell the fund
of the Army and Navy emer-
gency relief funds.
The competing teams will be
Uncle Sans soldiers and sailors
managed by Lieut.. Gordon
mickey" Cochrane, one-time
pilot of the Detroit Tigers, and
the ever-famiiiar stars of. the
American League, victorious in
New York's Polo Grounds last
night over the National League
All-Stars, 3 to 1. The American
Leaguers will be led by the
veteran Joseph Vincent McCar-
they, manager of the worlds
champion New York Yankees.
BAGBY TO START
Bobby Teller, Cleveland's
own great 23-year old fireball-
err, or John Duncan Rigney, for
mer ace of the Chicago White
Sox, both right handlers, will be
on the firing line at the start
for the service all-stars, with
Cleveland's Jim Bagby, another
right handler, the choice of
Manager Mccarthy. Bagby has
won nine and lost four to date.
More than $4,000 tickets had
been sold last night, and with
favorable weather, thousands
are expected to storm the gates
when the general admission
tickets 60 on sale at 6 pm. The
spectacle figures to produce
between SIS, 900 and $50, 900 for
the service societies funds.
Lieut.. Cochrane, supremacy
confident and determined to
triumph, nevertheless had not
decided upon his positive pitch
ing choice or his starting line
up today. 1t was the general
impression that he would give
the nod to the idolized Teller
for sentimental reasons and then
throw Rigney into the fray
when and if Teller got into
trouble. If Teller starts, his
catcher will be Winnie Smith of
the Pittsburgh Pirates, who
caught Teller at the Norfolk.
Va, naval training station. If
\ RigRey gees, his receiver wil be
frankie Pytlak, former Cleve-
land and Boston Red Sox star.
PLENTY OF TROUBLE
"We came here to win," Coch-
rane snapped. "We've got good
pitching, a great defensive out
field and hitting power. Well
give 'em more than they are
figuring on. They won't get
many hits off us in that big
ball park. II we can take 'em
I'll be the happiest guy in the
world"
The balance of Lieut.. Coch-
rane's starting lineup probably
will find Sam Chapman, Phila-
delphia Athletics, in right field;
Don Padgett, property of the ST..
Louis Cardinals in left, and Joe
Grace of the ST. Louis Browns
in the center garden.
The infield probably will be
Benny Mccoy of the Athletics
at second, Cecil Travis of Wash
ington at short, Ernie Andres.
Louisville Colonies at third, and
either Johnny Sturm, Yankees,
or Chester Hajduk of the Chi
cago White Sox at first. Andres,
former Indiana University
star, is the only player among
the All-Stars without previous
major league experience.
RIGNEY ALL SET
Rigney is in top condition,
and is anxious for the assign
ment. He not only had the bene-
fits of spring training with his
old team, the White Sox, but
also pitched for six weeks in
the American League campaign
before enlisting in the Navy.
Teller has pitched less than
Rigney and against less for
