Fans congregating here Monday night for the big mid-summer base~ ball show were jarred off balance by Manager Joe Cronin's selection of Pitcher Red Ruffing and four) others of the fourth-place Yan to stect the game at 2:30 'pm. ED.T, in Sportsman's Park, Neither Detroit Tigers nor Cleve= land Indians, first and second place clubs in the junior cricuit, were ac- corded a single starting by Cronin, although he said the expected 33,000 fans would see Lefty) Al Milnar of the Indians end Bug Newsom of the Tigers in three-in: ning mound performances. Deacon Bill McKecnnie, man of the National League forces, couns tered with stars from six of the) eight teams in his league, headed § a battery from his own Cincinnagd Reds. McKechnie still refused last nigh to say whether big Paul Derring or slender Bucky Walters would b his opening pitcher, but Ernie Lombardi to cateh. ' The decision of Cronin to use right-handed pitcher was respon ible for McKechnie including tin left-handed batters in his line-up- Arky Vaughan of Pittsburgh Pir- ates at shortstop, Johnny J 4 St. Louls Cardinsls at first and the veteran Mel Ott of Ne York Giants in right field. Use of Mize, the National batting champire, siiead of his own Frank McCormivx was the most dif- ficult choice for McKechnie to make. McCormick, a righthander, has keen batting about twenty, points better than Mize, and had never missed an inning of sil competition since breaking into the majors. ignmens ENJOY LIFE WITH A PUNCH ® Educated smokers daily: enjoy thisfeast of fragrance and flavour.
