positions.
Six of the is big league clubs,
four in the National, are rep
resented on the APPS ninth an
nual all-star squad, selected by
422 baseball writer's and broad
casters throughout the Nation.
The National League has six
players to four for the American.
The Giants and Indians are
the only clubs with more than
one representative. Each has
three. Brooklyn, st. Louis, Gin
cinnati and the Yankees have
one each.
The all-star team (batting
averages in parentheses):
First base-Ted KluSzewski,
Reds (.326).
Second base--Bobby Avila,
Indians t.341).
Third base-Al Rosen, In
dians (.300).

Righthanded pitcher - Bob
Lemon, Indians (23-D.
Leftnanded pitcher-Johnny
Antonelli, Giants Gid.
Only three players. Rosen, Mu-
sial and Snider, are. holdovers
from the 1858 team. Musial made
the team for the eighth time.
Missing only once since the poll
was inaugurated in 1916.
Mays Tops Vote Getters.
Mays, the brilliant Giants out
fielder who led both majors in
batting with a .345 average,
topped all vote getters. The
Negro flash was named on 397
ballots. Musial had $40 votes.
Snider had tough competition
from BoSton's Ted Williams, but
won the third outfield spot with
1875 votes to Ted's 1853.
The second biggest vote-getter
was Berra, who won the catching
position hands down with 389
votes. Runner-up Roy Campa-
nella of the Dodgers drew only
nine votes to seven for Cleve-

Milwaukee's Del Crandall. Last

Morris Harvey Plays
Tampa in Cigar Bowl
BY the Assoeioied Press

TAMPA, Fla, Dec. 17.--Mor-
ris Harvey and Tampa Univer-
sity. two speedy small college
teams with fair for making
the fans happy with their run
ming and passing, meet here
tonight in the annual Cigar
Bowl game.
Both teams have their sights
on fast moving offenses but both
Tampa and the team from
Charleston. w. Va. have solid
defenses.
The game is a tossup. There
is no way to compare the two
teams but Morris Harvey's de-
fensive record of holding all
its seasonal opponents except
one to a lone touchdown In
each game looks good.
On the other hand, Tampa's
passing from the hands of Quar-
terback Bill Minahan is some
thing to be reckoned with.
Morris Harvey came to Tampa
with a record of eight wins and
one loss. Tampa's seasonal mark
was seven wins and two defeats.
Marcelino Huerta, Tampa's
coach, said Morris Harvey has
a fast bali club and we expect
a tough battle"
Huerta announced that Bob
Lovely, star tackle and team
captain, won't be able to play
because OF an injury. and HALF
back Tom Spack win Suit-up
but probably won't play.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 17.--If
Otto Graham goes through with
his rumored retirement, he's
about to wind up one Of profess
sional footballs most fabulous
careers.
Automatic Otto," former
Northwestern great. has engi-
neered the Cleveland Browns to
nine straight divisional titles. to
four All-America Conference
and one National Football
League championships. He gets
his chance December 26, against
the Detroit Lions, to add an
other National League title.
Usually. when forward pass
ing records are discussed, you
are talking about Sammy Baugh,
the former Washington Red
skins great.
In Ninth Season.
Graham, who tells friends
that II plan to make this my
last year of football, but" is
in his ninth season.
But Otto, although seven years
shy of Baugh's Is years as a pro,
can grab one of the. Texans
most coveted crowns in the next
two games--both against the
Lions. BY averaging 119 yards
through the air for the two
remaining games he can run his
total aerial gains to 22,086 to
nose out Baugh by a yard.
For his career. through 1913
league games. Graham has av-
eraged lit yards for a 21.848
total, just 237 back Of Baugh's

Better In National League.
The statistics prove Graham
has been a more effective passer
in the National League than he
was in his first four years when
the Browns dominated the de-
funct All-America Conference.
In SO All-America games Otto
completed 592 of LOCI passes for
10.085 yards. That is a compile
ton percentage Of .557 and an
average gain of I'll yards.
In 81 National League games
he's completed 773 of 1874 for
11,763 yards. That's a compile
tion percentage of .562 and an
average gain of 183-both better
than his All-America perform
ances.
Graham said before last sea-
son he might retire, but came
back for his best year. He said
it again before the current cam
paign, but donned his uniform
to lead the loops passers in per-
centage of compilations with sos.
Coach Paul E. Brown said Gra-

ed in coming days, one result Of the 1854
Congressional elections is the prospect OF
a very tense political situation in the next
two years.
Since the elections showed that the
voters of this country were very closely
divided on the question OF President ElScn-
hoWer's legislative program. the next two
years of legislative activity are sure to be
holly contested ones. Moreover, both the
Republicans and Democrats know that
what they accomplish in the next two years
will perhaps decide the fate of the Presl-
dency in 1856.
The situation seems to favor the Dem
ocrats somewhat. for their control Of Con-
gress is vitality important in connection
with the Presidents legislative program
and the Democratic program. What the
Eighty Fourth Congress does in 1865 and
1856 will probably determine not only the
composition Of the Eighty-Fifth Congress
but quite probably the occupant Of the
White House
