Stengel may pin his hopes on
his own Yankees in seeking TO
end his midsummer jinx.
The grizzled Yankee man
ager may have had just that
in mind when he selected six
members of his own team to
the squad to go along with the
two Yankee starters picked by
the fans. Casey has a profound
respect for the awesome power
of the National League, which
has defeated Stengel-led teams
five times in six All Star games.
The odds-makers apparently
have the same respect for the
National League sluggers.
They've established them a g.

League leads in overall games,
Is to 10.
