Major league players, man agers and coaches, picking the eight starters on each All-Star team for the first time, in nearly every case honored 1958 performances over the time-honored reputations of some of baseball's greatest stars. In the American league, they chose left fielder Bob Cerv of the Athletics over Williams, and catcher Gus Tri andos of the Orioles over Berra. In the National, they favored converted third base man Frank Thomas, outfield er Bob Skinner and second baseman Bill Mazeroski, the members of the Pirates who got off to excellent starts this aeason. So drastic was the shakeup ol All-Star choices that five of the 16 starters never have been picked even as a reserve before this. They are Cerv, Triandos, Mazeroski, Skinner and shortstop Luis Aparicio of the White Sox. Here are the players chosen to start the 25th annual All Star game at Baltimore's Me morial Stadium, July 8 with batting averages through Wednesday in parentheses: AMIXICAK LEAGUE c Cut Triandos.

Joe Gordon Replaces Bob Bragan As Pilot Of Cleveland Team Anti-Smoking Provision in Will - Rutherfordton, N.C. (UPI) The late Mrs. Effie Lynch McCall had strong feel ings about smoking. So strong that she included a no-smoking provision in her will. The will instructed Mrs. McCall's executor to "Please see that no one has the part I've said if they smoke. I hate it." She left a corner cupboard and all "its contents , to one female relative, but with this stipulation: "If she smokes cigarettes I do not want her to have anything. I abhor women smoking and I do not want them to have my things when I am gone." The estate included per sonal and household effects, real estate, more than $3,000 in U.S. government bonds and 25 shares of stock in the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., manufacturer of cigarettes. Cleveland, Ohio (UPI) A "real excited" Joe Gordon re turned to the city where he hung up his spikes as an ac tive player today and took over as the new manager of the Cleveland Indians. Gordon, 43-year-old former star second baseman who broke into the major leagues with the New York Yankees in 1938 and sparked the In dians to the American league pennant and World Series championship 10 years later, was named manager of the six-place Indians Tuesday night,, succeeding Bobby Bra gan, who was fired. The balding, former Cleve land slugger, was described by Tribe General Manager Frank Lane as "a mature baseball man and sound tac tician. He'll fight you all the way." Not Enough Bragan, who was dismissed by Lane "because he didn't get enough out of the team," was with the Indians less than half the season. The 40-year-old deposed pi lot is unique in that he has been fired as a manager two years in a row before the sea son ended. Bragan was given his walking papers by the Pittsburgh Pirates last Au gust. The personable Bragan took his latest ouster in a calm manner. "I have no complaints to make," he said. "I received fine treatment and coopera tion from Frank Lane and the front office." "My only regret is that the ball club, being composed of hard-driving players, . didn't get better support from the fans. "It's possible that the team might change under the direc tion of a man like Joe Gor don, who himself was a hard driving ballplayer," Bragan said.
