SNOWMAN MIKE FOODS PLANS
 GOT SHAEF OK
BY MALCOLM MUIR, JR. nited Press Staff Corersponder

United Press Staff Correspondent Paris. June 26-(UP)-There was mounting evidence today that the anual American Major League all- star game may be brought to the European theater by air transport to be played before more than 100,- 900 service men.
 Col. Kenneth E. Field of Boston. director of the European theater athletic program, said in revealing a huge slate of sports for war weary G. I.'s that Frank Mccormick of Minneapolis, the former director had gone to the United States in an attempt to get the all-star base ball game transferred to Europe.
 Because of the increased rail transportation burden in the states. the all-star game, scheduled for Boston on July g, was cancelled. However, because of three open dates on the schedules at that time, it was pointed out that the players selected could be flown overseas to the game, and returned shortly afterward to their teams without missing any games.
 It also was revealed that New York theatrical producer, Michael Todd, had laid the groundwork for the baseball game after a recent trip to supreme Allied headquarters. where it was reported his plans. were given full approval.
 Seats For 100000
 The game would be played in Germany's Nuremberg Nazi party stadium, which has seating cap- acity of more than 100000 and which is centrally located for most of the soldiers in occupation armies.
 Field, former football player at Illinois and army, outlined the complete athletic program, which he said would be extensive as Major professional promotions in the United States and which he said probably would extend to inter-Al- lied competition.
 The football program would be climaxed this fall in a game be- tween picked teams from the Third and Seventh armies at the Nuern- berg stadium.
 The European theater champion ship schedules already arranged in- clude:
 Swimming-July 8, 2o, Nuern- berg arena.
 Amateur golf-Aug. l, ?, 3, at St. Cloud, outside Paris.
 Professional golf-Aug. 8, g 10 at St. Cloud.
