Coach Lome Arnold said to day that Baker suffered a shoulder injury Monday which may keep him out of the lineup for the entire campaign. The injury to Baker has necessitated the shifting of Bob Watson, Junior high right halfback last year, to the blocking back post Arnold said. Remainder of the Black Tor nado backfield will probably see Dippel and Niedermeyer at the halfbacks and Doug Plum ley at fullback. The line is shaping up thusly: Doty and Tumy, ends; Plaskett and Shel don, ' tackles; Corcoran and Lynch, guards,, and Miller, center.

We selected only four Ameri- can leaguers as against seven . National leaguers, the first time in years that the senior circuit has dominated a dream team. The team, and batting order: Bob Elliott.

Tigers, If, and Walker Cooper, Cardinals, c. Our pitching as signments were drawn by Spur geon (Spud) Chandler, Yankees; Rip Sewell, Pirates, and Mort Cooper, Cardinals. The outfield gave us a little trouble, but only in the matter of placing the players. We placed Musial in center- field a position he has played about 12 times this year, in order to make room for Nicholson in right and Wakefield in left. The first eight hitters have a combined batting average of more than .315 with three of them Musial, Nicholson and Wakefield batting from the port side. The only selection that of fered much trouble was in pick ing Bob Elliott over Arky Vaughan of the Dodgers at the hot corner. Either would un the biU. The pitching staff is an all- right-handed corps, but could mow down most ot the batters in the Majors.
