After an hour of group drill, lines, backs and ends of the "Blue" squad combined in a heated scrimmage against the under-dog "Whites." Cap- tain Joe Ponsetto, only returning man from last season's first eleven took over his quarterback position, handling it with practiced ability. Munn Drills Linemen Coach "Biggie" Munn put his line- men through the paces in bodily con- tact work previous to the scrim- mage. In keeping with the order of the day the candidates for first string forward wall positions were drilled in offensive passing tactics. Particularly noticeable were the offensive guards, who pulled out of the line to check the on-rushing de- fensive ends. In this capacity Dom- inic Tomasi, Wolverine baseball star, distinguished himself. The 17-year- old freshman continually got off to a fast start and hit the opposing end with everything he had. Weyers, Callahan Shine John Weyers, reserve guard on last year's squad, and Bob Callahan, 190 pound candidate who played cen- ter for the University of Missouri, also performed competently in this berth. At the other end of the field Benny Oosterbaan, end coach, was working with the' flankmen, while back men- Horse Racng Suffers IBlow WASHINGTON, July 11 - W) - Horse racing suffered a new blow to- day as the government prohibited transportation of racing and show animals by railroad and common or contract truck carriers.

Let us look at Gene Sarazen. Even though he was in his prime about l5 years ago he still plays a mean game of golf. Upon entering this year's PGA he shot a first round of 71. A lot of pros who think themselves pumpkins in this game would like to record a com- parable first round total. In addition, Sarazen still padks the galleries just as he used to in the days of Jones and Hagen. This was exemplified in his first-round play at the PGA this year. Shute Won PGA Another golfing great was Denny Shute. In 1936 and 1937 he won the PGA and previous to this, in 1933, he went to England to take the Brit- ish Open. This year, after two years of retirement, Shute decided to try his hand at the Professional Golf Association's crown again, and carded the best score, going into the final CAPT.

By BILL MULLENDORE, Daily Sports Editor THE ANNUAL Major League All-Star game was cancelled this year by the ODT for reasons of transportation, and in a way the cancellation comes as a welcome relief. Billed as a test of supremacy between the two ,eagues, it never amounted to much more than a lot of ballyhoo and a good measure of ill feeling. Anyone in his senses must realize that a single game can prove nothing more than that on a particular day one team was better, or t1 luckier, than the other. The notion that picked squads from the American and National League can, in one encounter, prove the super- iority of one or the other is sheer nonsense.3 In recent years, students of the game have claimed that the World's Series is an unfair test, owing to its brevity. Yet, the World's Series is a1 seven-game series. And if the supremacy of one team over another cannot be decided in seven games, by what stretch of the imagination can it be decided in one? The answer is obvious. It can't. Yet the promoters of the All-Star classic have tried to build it up into a yearly trial by battle which shall decide conclusively whether the Ameri- can or the National League plays the better baseball. And fans, in large measure, have swallowed the "dream game' angle, hook, line, and sinker. And so we have the somewhat silly spectacle of two teams composed of sundry individual stars selected by the managers, men who have never played together before and probably never will again, "proving" that one loop is stronger than the other. We do not contend that the idea of an All-Star game is, in itself, a bad one. Viewed in its proper perspective and undertaken with the proper emphasis, it could with certain revisions of procedure serve a useful end. But we do contend that the game has been perverted into something it very definitely is not. In the first place, the only possible excuse for staging such a spectacle is for the appreciation of the fans. The ball players themselves get noth- ing out of it, except perhaps a little glory, and the teams have something to lose in possible injuries. Therefore, an effort should be made to give the game to the fans. THIS WOULD INVOLVE two things. First of all, choice of the players should rest with the people who support the teams. At one time in the history of the contest, the fans did vote for the squad members, but this function was usurped from them by the managers, who probably are more qualified to make the selections if such a serious thing as league supremacy is at stake. But with league supremacy a side-issue, the fans should see the players they want to see, not those whom the managers think they want to see. Secondly, every effort should be made to allow as many persons 'as possible to view the stars in action. The fans should choose them, and the fans should have a chance to see their choices. The present Major League schedules provide for a sufficient number of open dates to allow perhaps a week's layoff in mid-season, during which the two all-star squads could make the circuit of the Major League cities, appearing for one day in each. Squads large enough to permit the scheduling of doubleheaders at each stop could be selected in order to give everyone his money's worth. With the accomplishment of these reforms, the All-Star game, or All-I Star series, would become what it should be--a parade of the fans'f choices as the best talent in the Majors. It would allow the fans to see in action the cream of .the current baseball crop, players from all teams in both leagues, many of whom they would never ordinarily witness on the field. Furthermore, the notion of contention for a mythical league championship should be abolished. Granted that a series of games would come closer to establishing a champion than a single encounter, the series could never be regarded as conclusive. It would merely be a treat to the fans, those people who make professional baseball possible and who certainly deserve something in return. By The Associated Press NEW YORK. July11--The Chi- cago Cubs and Cleveland Indians led their respective Leagues in men selected for the "mythical" 1945 All- Star Game today by vote of 13 of I the 16 Big League managers in a poll conducted by the Associated Press. Seven Cubs were picked on the National League's 25-man squad and five Indians surprisingly made the American list for the game that nev- er will be played.
