New York, June 19-(UP)-Na-
tional League managers must vote
before July on the all-star team
which will meet the American
League aces at Philadelphia's Shibe
Park on the night of July 10.
Each of the eight national pilots
will nominate Is players to league
president Ford Prick. Players re-
ceiving eight, seven or even six votes
are almost certain to make the
squad. Below those figures many
ties will result. In such cases Billy
Southworth of the Cards, this years
manager of the all-starS, will make
the selections.
On the basis of current perform
ances, we expect the squad to COM
prise the following players:
First base Frank Mccormick,
Cincinnati and Babe Dahlgren, Phil
adelphia (although now playing
third.
Second Base - Billy Herman,
Brooklyn; and Lonnie Frey, Cincin-
natl, or Frank Cuisine, Pittsburgh.
Short Stop-Slats Marion. st.
Louis; and Eddie Miller, Cincinnati
or Whitley Wietelmann, Boston.
Third Whitley Kurowski, st.
Louis; and Stan Hack, Cubs, or
Steve Mesner, Cincinnati.
Outfield-Harry Walker, st. Louis;
Stan Musial, st. Louis; Tommy
Holmes. Boston; Bill Nicholson,
Chicago; Mel Off, New York; Vince
Di Maggie, Pittsburgh; Augie Galan
Brooklyn; Lou Novikoff, Chicago.
Catcher-Mickey Owen, Brooklyn;
Walker Cooper, st. Louis; and AL
Lopez, Pittsburgh, or Ernie Lombar-
di, New York.
Pitcher-Mort Cooper, Cardinals;
Rip Sewell, Pittsburgh; Elmer Riddle
and Johnny Wander Nicer, Cincin-
natl; Howard Pollet, st. Louis and
81 johnson, Philadelphia, or Al ia
very, Boston or Jim Tobin, Boston
We are confident that Babe Dahl
gren of the Phillies will be voted a
| post at first base, even though he
now is holding down the Phillies'
hot corner. Dahlgren, leading bats
man in the circuit, Is generally rec
ognized as the leagues best first
baseman this season, although his
clubs infield weaknesses have caus-
ed him to be shifted to other posts.
The all-stars apparently will be har-
der pressed for power at the initial
sack than at third. where KuroWski
Hack or Mesner are potent.
Keenest competition is at second
base, where veteran Billy Herman of
the Dodgers is certain to clinch a
post because of his excellent all
around play this season, coupled
with past experience. However,
young Frank Cuisine of the Pirates
brilliant at bat and afield-is
challenging Lonnie Frey of the Reds
for the other berth.

A. A. U. Nationals MAY Be
Last Big Track and
Field Test

UHlLeo PreSS stan Correspondent
New York. June 19-(UP).-Gal-
Looping Gil Dodds. the Boston theo-
logical student, has a twin ambition
to spur him on in the 1,500-meter
championship as the 55th annual
National AAAU track and field
championships open a tWo-day
stand at Triborough Stadium today
The deacon will be attempting tc
defend the title he won last season
and at the same time prove to the
track world that he is fit competi-
zion for Gunder Hagg, the Smorgas-
bord Special from Sweden who
makes his American debut Sunday
against little Greg Rice in the $1,000
meter run.
Hagg elected to pass up this me-
trio mile in favor of opening his
campaign in this country against
the little mechanical man from
Notre Dame, winner of IS straight
races. So Dodds can take the spot
light by himself briefly with re-
peat and, with convincing win
make the TRUSTEES hum merrily when
Hagg comes down to his distance
during series of cross country
meets.
The 1,500-meter run dominates
todays program of two other senior
events-the 100o0-meter run and
3,000-meter walk and 81 junior
events. This leaves 10 champions to
be crowned Sunday, headlined by
the Hagg-Rice duel at 5000 meters
Chief opposition for Doods, hard
running pace setter, is expected to
be Don Burnham of Dartmouth, the
IC4A and NCAA mile king. Burn
ham needs only this metric mile tri-
umph for a triple slam heretofore
accomplished only by Bill Bonthron
of Princeton and Leslie MacMitchell
of NYU.
No "Walkaways"
There is plenty of opposition for
both Dodds and Durham. however
Their rivals include Bill Hulse, New
York metropolitan champion; Bob
Porter of Rice, Southwest Confer
ence champion; Clarence Dunn OF
Illinois, Big 10 and Central Cole
giate king; Bob Seib, also of the
Illini; Fred Will, another Of those
Indiana iron men; Ralph Dewey OF
the San Francisco Olympic club
Pacific AAU head man; Les Eiser
ART Ohio amateur king; Ray zoell-
ner, New York A. c., and Pvt. Bill.
Leonard, Camp Upton, the Adiron-
dack champion.
Defending the 10,OO0-meter title
is lanky Joe McCluskey, the old
Fordham flash now a naval lieu
tenant. His opposition includes
Lieut.. Lou Gregory, Iowa Pre-Flight
six times national champion; For
est Efaw, Oklahoma IA. & M; Tom
Quinn of the Notre Dame Naval
Training Station; Ted Vogel of the
Boston A. A., and seven others.
Although Hagg delays his Ameri-
can debut until Sunday, one of his
countrymen will be seen In action
today. He is Sune Carlson, a mer-
chant seaman who won the indoor
walking title. Carlson faces select
heel-and-toe field in the 3,O00-metel
walk.

Play For Pay Grid
League May Have
Two New Teams
BY TOMMY DEVINE
United Press Staff Correspondent

Chicago, June 19-(UP)-A Shut
file of the National Football leagues
membership appeared likely today
as club owners opened an important
two-day meeting.
The circuit has only seven sure
fire members now, but the POSSIBLE
tiles were good that the league
might number 10 or II clubs before
| adjournment.
Repeatedly certain of operation
during the 1943 season were the
champion Washington Redskins,
the Chicago Bears, the Detroit
Lions, the Green Bay Packers, the
New York Giants, the Brooklyn
Dodgers and club that may repre-?
sent merger of the Philadelphia
Eagles and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Dodgers, along with the Chi
cago Cardinals, were on the doubt
full list until yesterday. Dennis j.
Shea, general manager of the
Brooklyn club, upon his arrival here
announced the Dodgers would oper-
ate.
give received the go-ahead sign
from owner Dan Topping" Shea
said.
The Cardinals were left without
a coach when Jimmy Councilman re-
signed to take a position with the
st. Louis Browns baseball club A
recent check indicated only four
players from last season available
for play
The application for the merger of
the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
clubs presents the league with one
OF its most difficult problems. There
were reports that the petition would
be refused and one of the two fran
chises ordered turned back to the
league.
New Blood
If the merger should be approved
the league would lose a member, but
applications have been received
from three bidders who purportedly
desire to operate clubs next fall.
Two of the prospective owners
backed their applications with cash.
They were radio and screen star
Don Ameche who is seeking to

Ted Collins. manager of singer Kate
Smith, who desires to operate at
Boston Mass. Ameche and Collins
accompanied their bids by certified
checks for $25, 1000 sum which rep
resents one-half the price of new
franchise.
The third city that may be in
cluded in the league is Baltimore,
Md. A syndicate headed by Arthur
H. Ehlers, president of the inter
state baseball league inquired about
a franchise for next fall. Another
Baltimore group, topped by Henry
M. White, president of an oil COM
pany, advised President Elmer Lay
den it was interested in an latter

QUILTERS FACE
STR|KEOUT KING
OF CITY LEAGUE
Nakentis to Start Against
League Leaders; ScOviIls
ties Meet Avigs

The big guns of the City Amateur
league will roar again tomorrow af-
ternoon in another triple header
program as the race enters its sew
enth week at Hamilton park field.
All eyes will be focused on the
4 o'clock attraction on No. l fieh
in which Pat CUTTERS undefeated
and league leading Washington
Hills, showing the same club that
has carried them to the top from
the outset, will clash with the pow
erful Middlebury A. c. and its SEN
sational southpaw, Pete Naktenis,
late of the Milwaukee Brewers of
the American association.
Manager George Trask announced
this morning that his original plans
to throw the sensational colored
fireballer, Jackson Taylor, against
the league leaders had been upset
due to the fact that the Hartford
tWirler is unable to get away from
his defense work at one of the Capt.
tol City aircraft plants. There is
still nothing for the Hills to be re-
lieved about however. because there
is still Mr.. Naktenis to contend with
and his southpaW SlantS before
which so opposing batsmen have
been moved down on strikes in
four games.
The Middlebury club has under
gone complete overhauling since
last week with accent on batting
practice in three different sessions
since the clubs defeat at the hands
of the Aviglianese last Sunday to
0. With five left handed batters
on the club, Manager Trask hopes
to take advantage of the short right
field fence now that "Handyman
Bill" McCormack's number is up
as he puts it,.
Big Chance
If the Hills can get by the Pom.
peraug champions this "trip" they
feel that they can relax because with
Naugatuck's Hal Smullen returning
to Notre Dame July LIST, the Dor.
ough club will be far from a fav.
orite.
Two games are scheduled for 1:4s
tomorrow, the Naugatuck and Sac
red Heart aggregations being SLATED
for No. l at that hour while thu
Scovill and Aviglianese mines viii
provide the entertainment on No. Q

In 1899, Signed Again

Pittsburgh, June 10 - U.PD -
Big Johnny Gee, who cost the Pitts
burgh Pirates $4,000 in 1889, but
failed to pay off in victories be-
cause of shoulder ailment, today

paw, after working out at Forbes
field since Tuesday, was given the
go" sign by Manager frankie
Frisch and President William Ben
swanger and today applied for re-
instatement. Johnny probably will
be signed to Pirate contract early
next week.

PAR0CHIAL LEAGUE
BASEBALL RESULTS

One of baSeball's pet plays, the
object of which is to score a run on
squeeze" through the medium Of
a bunt that scares a runner from
third base, cost the St. Joseph Paro-
chial school club its chance for sec
and round title in the Catholic
league. SIS. Peter and Paul, Costello
and Sullivan worked the squeeze
play to perfection. for an eventual
6 to decision favoring the East End
entry which got its winning run on
base in the final inning, as Billy
Sullivan hit his second successive
tWo-bagger of the day, reaching
third base on an error, from which
point he came home when Costello
laid down a beautiful bunt inside the
first base line.
One result of the victory was the
elimination of the Brooklyn boys
from the battle for second round
honors; which will be settled by st.
Marys and st. Francis Xavier, both
easy winners yesterday over st. Mar
