New York, July 2tUP)-Omis- sion of number of top flight play CTS from the Major league All-Star teams drew sharp criticism today from two club officials, the fans, and some of the players who thought they were snubbed.
 The annual classic will be played a week from today as Boston's Fen way Park.
 General Manager Bill Dewitt of the Browns wired American League President William Harridge, pro- testing the omission of his second baseman, Johnny Berardino from the squad. Berardino, whose .330 batting average is fourth high in the league, also ranks fourth for both leagues in hits with 89.
 Injustice
 '"The exclusion of Berardino was a grave injustice to great ball player" Dewitt said. Tt was un- fair to the player, our club, and the fans of St. Louis. His record speaks for itself. And how any American league manager could leave him of an All-Star squad is a mystery to me.
 The new president of the Cleve- land Indians, Bill Veeck, Jr., for nally protested to Harridge over the exclusion of player-manager Lou Boudreau.
 Harridge in reply to both of flcials said that he had no voice in the selection of the team, which is selected by the managers.
 T give no instructions to the managers relative to the players selected" Harridge said "The league office merely acts as a clear ing house in the tabulation of votes from the eight managers in the league
 Among the players to complain about not making the grade were Cecil (Tex) Hughson, currently the number one pitcher of the pace-set- ting Boston Red Sox and Spark Plug Eddie Stanky of the league leading Brooklyn Dodgers in the National League.
 Naturally I'm sorry I won't be playing, especially when the game is in our home park" Hughson said. But I felt all along that I would not make it, and I don't begrudge the honor to Dave FerrisS and Mickey Harris, our pitchers who did make it.
 Ed, Hank Snubbed
 Stanky said he was keenly dis appointed about being left of.
 T never had been named before and thought that I had a very good chance to make this one" he said But anyway I'm glad four Dodgers were named"
 The biggest puzzle to fans, who used to select the team by ballots themselves, was the failure 10 in- clude big Hank Greenberg of De- troit, who has 19 homerS, second only to Ted Williams of Boston for both leagues.
 T voted for Hank, but as mana ger Of the American league team have no other comment, Manager tteve ONeill of the Tigers said.

Brasscos Face Atlanta Club Ton1orrou EUe

The famous Atlanta Black Crack CTS will furnish the opposition when the Brasscos open their busiest week of the season tomorrow night at the Municipal Stadium at 8:45
 After the Crackers, the Brasscos will entertain the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday afternoon at 4:30 and will then take on the world fa- nous Alabama Red Sox Saturday night in another arc-light tilt.
 The Crackers have one of the strongest independent teams in baseball today and boast some of the most renowned players in the colored ranks. The Crackers joined the Negro Southern Association for the first time in 1945 and the first crack out of the box won both the first and second rounds to clinch the seasons honors without a play off
 'Bozo" Jackson. one of the most popular of all colored performers, will play shortstop for the Crackers tomorrow night and will have as his keystone partner another classy infielder, Dusty" Owens. The pair form one of the classiest double play combinations in the game to- day.
 Other outstanding stars in the lineup include Mary Terrell. Butcher Boyp Davis. Dave Harper, Jimmy Stroud. Monk Favors, Lee Wyatt and several others.
 Kufta to Pitch
 Mgr. Joe Samoska is anxious to preserve the Brasscos' winning streak and will send Big Bill Kufta. the New Britain Teachers College hurler to the mound with Jimmy Sheehan. former New York Giant. behind the plate.
 With Tom Riley still out with an injured hand either Tom Hefer- man or 'Whitey" kunkieWicz will start at first base Bobby Greatorex will be at second. Luddy Jasilunas at short and "Whitey" Piurek at third. Johnny DeVito. Billy Moore and Eddie Red" Sheehan will pa trol the outheld.
 A special ticket booth has been installed inside the stadium and tickets for Fridays game with the Phlllles will be sold so that the reg ular patrons of the Brasscos will be afforded an opportunity to pur- chase ducats in advance and avoid the long lines at the Stadium Fri day.

 Jake Reiger, member of the Leav- enWorth Athletic Association, went to Washington College with Jake Flowers, the Boston Brave Coach and the two got quite a kick out of this unexpected reunion. MT. Reiger introduced the party of 26, players and invited guests to the prominent sportsman.
 Before taking our seats for the ball game the writer questioned Durocher about the possibility of the Dodgers playing another exhi- bition game in Waterbury this sea- son. Mgr Durocher said that he would like to very much as he got quite kick out of coming up to the Brass City last season.

The bidding:
West. North. East. South.
IA Pass "a Pass
"a Pass 2 no trump Pass
3 no trump Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead: Three of diamonds.
East's bidding of today's hand was
slightly on the aggressive side, but
on the whole not to be condemned
The two-club response just about
passes muster. If the two jacks were
removed from the hand, it would
not qualify, and the proper response
would be one no-trump. As it actu-
ally was constituted, the wealth Of
intermediates made the hand def
nitely too strong for the discourag-
ing response. However, when West
made the minimum rebid Of two
spades it is somewhat doubtful that
East should have carried on. When
he did so, West was justified in 60
ing to three no-trump because he
had king in excess Of a minimum
and in the meantime his king OF
clubs had become promoted by part
ner's response.
In the play of the hand East did
not justify the aggressiveness he
had manifested during the bidding.
The three of diamonds was opened
and North followed with the queen,
which, of course, East gathered in.
Having seven running tricks, he set
about developing two more. This he
felt could be done in spades by
merely conceding a trick in that
suit. His arithmetic was sound, he
had nine tricks, but the only din
Guilty lay in the fact that in the
meantime the opposition was taking
five tricks.
This was no time for declarer to
work on his best suit. He needed
two more tricks, but the vital con-
sideration is that the needed them
in a hurry. And the only way to
obtain them in hurry was to fnd
South with the queen Of hearts. II
South did not have that card there
was just no way to make the hand.
Upon winning the opening lead de-
clarer's first play should have been
the jack of hearts, which should be
passed unless covered. On this play
the defense would take three dia-
mond tricks and the ace of hearts,
the declarer being fortunate in find
ing no flve-card diamond suit against
him.
The moral to be drawn from this
episode is that your bidding habits
should to a certain extent be gov
erned by your talent in manipulat-
ing the dummy. Overlooking for
games may be freely INDUCED in
by those who have a reasonable ex-
pectation of getting the most out Of
their cards, but for those who are
prone to lose a trick here and there
conservatism is a sounder policy.
