the home economics girls taking the

Well, gang, the Breakfast Club
has ended. No more will we have
willing and intelligent FELLOWSHIP
dents to help us with out failing
grades. Tutors for both semesters
have taken their own personal time
to aid students in their class work
and l think they deserve much
credit. And because of their great
success this term in pulling so many
students out of the lurch, they will
be called upon more than ever next
term.

CHICAGO, July 7-(PrPlayers
and fans of the National and A
merican began arriving in Chica-
20 today for Tuesdays annual ALI
Star baseball classic which is ex-
pected to attract a capacity 4o,OOo
crowd at Wri9ley Field.
With the game returned, in part,
to the fans for the first time in
many years, the public at large
will look 10 Chicago with perhaps
more Of a personal interest to-
morrow. However, although the
fans ballots named the fielders,
the choice Of pitchers was left to
managers Eddie Dyer OF the Ma
tional League and Joe Cronon OF
the American. j,
AT least two nominees will not
be present. Shortstor Eddie Mil
Ter of Cincinnati is out with an
injured shoulder. Dyer named
Harold (Pee Wee Reese of Brook
lyn as a replacement for Miller.
Star Cleveland hurler Bob Feller
is also ailing and Cronin decided
that Early Wynn of Washington
would replace him.
Neither manager has announced
who will start on the mound Tor
either team or how long he will
be scheduled to stay pending the
opposition's efforts. The American
League will be a little deeper in
pitching talent however with 8
hurlers to Z for the Nationals.
Cronin may expect the senior cir
cult to gel more than last years
three hits.
American League power surged
forth once more in 1916 when the
Junior loop won easily IL to no.
thing and got IA hits.
Dyer has a formidable array OF
moundsmen however. They in
clude the sensational Ewell Black
we'll. holder of the seasons only
no-hit game and a 14-2 won and
lost record. He will be ably aided
by John Sain and Warren Getty
Spain of Boston, Harry (The Cat)
Brecheen of the St. Louis Card1'
nails, Ralph Branca of Brooklyn,
schoolboy Rowe, now the Phllles
and George Munger, Cardinal with
a 7 and l record.
Despite the loss of Teller, Cronln
ran call on three Yankee hurlers,
freshman Frank Shea, Joe Page,
and Spud Chandler. Aside from
the Yankee hurlers there is Dizzy
Trout Of Detroit, Early Wynn OF
Washington, Walter Masterson OF
Washington. Jack Kramer of the
St. Louis Browns; and Hal New
houser Of Detroit.
These manager-picked throwers
will face fan-selected starting line
ups filled with power from both
leagues. The National League
starting outfield Of Harry Walker
of the Phillies, Enos Slaughter OF
St. Louis and Dixie Walker OF
Brooklyn will probably boast a
slightly better batting average as
a group than the American League
outer gardeners.
However the junior loop starters
will include such trusted game
busters as Joe Di Maggie OF the
Yankees, Ted Williams of Boston
and John Lewis Of Washington.
The American League moreover
appears to have Slightly superior
outfield requirements.
