Retail Buying
Dips Slightly

NEW YORK. May % R.-
Consumer spending in the Ma
tons retail stores tapered of q
bit this week, according to a
spot survey by Dun q Brad
street. Inc.
Increased buying of outdoor
furniture and women's apparel
was offset by tagging sales of
housewares. appliances and
mems clothing.
Coats. suits and sportswear
were the best selling items in
the women's apparel group but
sales Of fashion accessories were
sluggish. Mems wear merchants
reported brisk dem a nd for
Sportswear and Bermuda shorts
and little consumer interest in
tropical suits or swimwear.
Total retail trade during the
week e n d e d Wednesday was
down slightly from the previous
week and from 8 per cent lower
to / per cent higher than a
year ago, Dun g. Bradstreet

On June p

BALTIMORE, May 90 (P).-
American and National League
players will start choosing their
own All-Star teams by ballot
on June %.
In addition to the active
players. the managers and
coaches will also vote for the
stars who will represent the
majors in the silver anniversary
game here July 8.
About 500 are expected to
take part in the balloting,
which will be completed about
June Is. The teams will be an
nounced June 30.
Commissioner Ford Prick met
here yesterday with officials of
both leagues and the Orioles,
who play host to the game in
Memorial Stadium.
Prick authorized the Orioles
to arrange for the public ticket
sale. Details are expected to
be announced next week.
This is the first year the
players will have a chance to
pick their representatives in the
mid-season classic.
The former habit of letting
the fans around the country
choose up sides worked pretty
we'll until the last couple of
years. In 1857, fanatical Gin
cinnati fans deluged the ballot
box and it looked as though
eight Redlegs might take the
field against the American
Leaguers.
Prick arbitrarily put three
Cincinnati players on the
bench and filled their places
with stars from other clubs.
This year the players. man
ayers and coaches will vote for
a full team in their own league
except for pitcher.
Managers Of the 1857 World
Series teams, Fred Haney of
the Braves and Casey Stengel
of the Yankees, will name II
additional players. including
the pitchers. Managers must
have at least one player from
each club on the star team.
Memorial Stadium will seat
1926 for the game. At least
10000 tickets are expected to
be available to the general pub
lie, Some $4,000 will be offered
first to Orioles season-ticket
holders, who have until Sunday
to decide if they want to buy
one.
Ticket prices are Sc for box
seats, 81 for reserved seats and
$3.50 for 5000 bleacher seats.
They will be offered in advance.

Orioles Drop ! in Row

The Indians moved into
third place with a So victory
over the Orioles, who have lost
seven straight. The White SoX
had one of their infrequent
big days at the plate and
hammered Washington, 1873,
while the Tigers, who had lost
nine in a row, won their fifth
straight. They beat Boston,
Az, to stay a half-game behind
birthplace Chicago.
The Athletics scored two in
the fifth and bagged it with
two in the sixth against Tom
Sturdivant, out since April %
with arm trouble. Joe De-
Maestri's infield single counted
the clincher.
The Yanks got theirs of Ray
Herbert. who gave up a lead
of homer to Hank Bauer. Duke
Mas put them down on one hit
while facing only l6 men in
five relief innings for the
victory.
