Shotton named two of his own Brooklyn aces Don Newcombe and Preacher Roe. The others are Robin Roberts and Jim Konstanty of Philadelphia, War ren Spahn of Boston; Bob Rush ? Chicago; Ewell BUckwell of Cincinnati and Larry Jansen of New York. The omission of St. Louis Southpaws Max - Lanier and ITowle (Pellet caused some eye brow t raising, especially since Shotton has only two lefties on his staff Spahn. and Roe. Lanier, who has won eight of It decisions, owns a better mark than any of the all-star eight ean boast. Pollet. with eiht tri umphs, Is Teteran of all star competition with three under bis belt ' . - - - . Shotton may have been read ing history In not naming a St. Louis pitcher. Since the all-star competition between the two leagues began in 1933, at least one Cardinal pitcher was se lected In all but two years. The National won both times with out St. Louis pitching help. Con sidering that the National has won only four of IS (not game in 1945), It may have given Burt aa idea. He also may have re called that St. Louis pitchers have been charged with fire of the 12 defeats although Dizzy Dean was credited with the 1938 triumph over the American leaguers. Shotton bad . no say In his starting lineup which was pick ed for him by the fans. If Shot ton ignored the Cards, the fans certainly didn't. They named Stan Musial for first base, Mary Marion for shortstop and Enos Slaughter for one of the out field positions. In addition, . Red Schoendlenst picked up ; enough votes to be named as an alter nate for second base. Philadelphia's Willie Jones, at third,: and Brooklyn's Jackie Robinson, at second, round out the starting Infield. Hank Sauer of Chicago and Ralph Kiner of Pittsburgh complete the out field.

Jly Lumbermen Take B Loop Lead; M. Keizer, : Bookmen Notch Wins The West Salem Lumbermen moved Into! undisputed possession of first place in the Salem Junior Baseball Bi league Wednesday by walloping the Orchard Heights team 15-0 while the Salem Laun dry was going down, 14-7 in a protested game with Commercial Book Store. The Lumbermen have now won all four of their games. The loss was the first for the Laundrymen and they now find themselves in a second place tie with the Bookmen and Keizer Merchants, all with 3-1 macks. Keizer thumped Salem Heights Wednesday 18-8. In the other game the Bishop Electrics won via forfeit over Jackson Jewelers- Four Corners when Insufficient personnel showed up to play for tne latter. Pearce hurled one-hit ball for the Lumbermen in his game. El wood, Shaff, Boydson, Engle and H. Pingle led the attack for the Keizers in that struggle and Ron Whitaer's pitchinjplus a steady Darrage oi nits helped the Book men down the Laundry. Bruce King started for the Laundry but Can'fyet tell whether Dick Allison as a baseball catcher, but of one thing we're certain. The Senators have one, of the best all-around hustling fireballs we've ever seen in prep, . legion and collegiate baseball. We had the husky Allison -. CHARLEY PETERSEN wandering, around somewhere in Costello is happy over the new The spectacled fastbaUer wbo won but wbo nasn't been up to that par with Vancouver the last two semesters, allows as how hell be much more effective pitching in the big Waters yard than he was toiling 'in the lopsided Vancouver crackerbox. As for the bad arm "Cos" is supposed to have, he says it isn't lame at all any more and that he's ready to prove it to his new bosses. . . . See Orrin Snyder still around town but don't know if he's planning on taking Liska's advice. When Ad let him go last week he told Omn to forget all and take up pitching. Snyder, like couvers, has a fine arm. "Your best shot will be on The mound," fathered Liska. "And if I were you I'd try it or forget about playing pro DaseDau." Stock Cart Should Present The stock cars take over the Holly-Bowl racing premises Saturday night for the first time, and if the exhibition they offered during last week's "rod" program here is there'll be quite a bangup time on Hershel McGriff and Ray Elliott, country classic :wiu drive in the enthusiast, including those sharpies, this side of Kansas City who won't Insist the big buggies will you've ever seen on a small track." The local sponsoring Valley Sports group, exceedingly miffed - at the utter inability of the Roadster association to live up to Its pre-race promises, nope to soon install all other types of auto events here. The roadster men, including Acting Promoter Charley Heitz, have been openly guilty of announcing "hot rod racing fields of from 20 to 22 cars, along with names of drivers. But when race time comes only slightly more than half that much speed equipment shows up. So the Valley Sporters have had their fill of it and defin itely are doing something about it ' Meetings have been held with both the stock ear and midgut associations. And from here la when a certain Bomber of ban bargies and driven are advertised for the local races, that many will be here. The sponsors also feel that midgets and stock ears are capable of producing more lnierestiiig programs for the spectators. .. . - , " Pete Says He Belts Spaeter With Broom Handle Charley Petersen takes all credit for Al Spaeters .300-plus batting average and adds that changing the likeable little ex-Senator from a ping hitter to a solid smacker was simple. "He used to hit off his toes while at the plate." ouoth Chas. while here last weekend. "But I stopped all that I'd stand behind him during batting practice and every time he got tip on those toes I'd hit him across the ankles with a broom stick. He soon learned' it wasn't healthy to keep doing it. tie aiso started rutting the ball solidly to all fields." ; Spaeter did look like a better hitter than usual dorta bis recent visit. Bat kaowinr Petersen as wo do, wo aorta believe that the closest Al baa been to a broomstkk lately was when s he tripped ever one in his kitchen last winter. As we told the Tri-aty manager, "It's been awfully hot eat in that ran lately Charley oP boy, and yea haven't beeat swearta m bat.'!

The protest, lodged by the Laundry management, came in the fourth over Umpire Bob War ren's judgement on a double play. Action, will be taken on the pro test by league officials. The C leaguers play tonight, as follows: East Salem Lions (2-1) vs. Odd Fellows (3-6)- at Olinger; Senator Juniors (1-2) vs. Warner Motors (2-1) at West Salem; Berg's Market (1-2) vs. Four Cor ners (0-3) at Four Corners, and Master Bread (0-3) vs. Keizer Drive-Inn (3-0) at Keizer.

It was the same as he per formed in all three major sports at the Vik Villa, and later when he played under Johnny Lewis at Willamette. During those days all that kept Dick from being a pro f essional prospect was a weak throwing arm. If he's been able to strengthen it since, hell be a valu able addition to the Solon club. In the meantime he's apt to keep wide awake those few members of the team who aren't immune to grabbing a brief snooze now and then during games. . . . Speaking of the Senators, Boss Liska was taking second looks at everyone sporting sun tans last weekend. Ad is still wondering what's happened to the Chicago negro player Willie Bell who was supposed to join the club 10 days ago.
