There were very few surprises on the squad that has been the subject of street-corner debate almost since the sport began a century ago. Babe Ruth, the slugging right fielder who slammed a career total of 714 home runs, was named the greatest player ever.

Ruth was one of three New York Yankee players named to the greatest ever team. The others were first baseman Lou Gehrig, who followed Ruth in the Murderers Row lineup that led the Yankees to total domination of the sport in the 1920s and 30s, and center fielder Joe DiMaggio, slugging at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Cronin at shortstop and Traynor at third. Ted Williams was picked in left field, DiMaggio in center and Willie Mays in right. Bill Dickey was named the catcher and Grove and Bob Feller the pitchers.

Casey Stengel was chosen manager of the greatest living team. Mays, whose 596 career homers rank second only to Ruth's total, was the only player chosen who is still active. The San Francisco Giants' star will appear in his 16th All-Star Game at Washington Tuesday night. The poll, conducted among BWAA members in conjunction with baseball's centennial celebration, followed selection by fans of the greatest teams in each major league city. Now that that's settled, what do the fans have left to argue about? star of the 40s and 50s.

Joining Ruth and DiMaggio in the greatest ever outfield was Ty Cobb of the Detroit Tigers, who had a career batting average of .367. The infield besides Gehrig listed Rogers Hornsby at second base, Pie Traynor' at third and Honus Wagner at shortstop. The catcher was Mickey Cochrane with Walter Johnson picked as the right-handed pitcher and Lefty Grove as the lefthander. John McGraw, who managed the New York Giants to 10 National League pennants, was named manager of the team. Also selected was a greatest living player team with DiMaggio, Traynor and Grove the only players named to both.

George Sisler and Stan Musial tied for the first base job on the greatest living squad with Char-lie Gehringer at second, Joe home runs, including 37 by Stadium their money's worth Tuesday night.

Moon" Odom of Oakland, WASHINGTON (AP) Before the long hot summer ends Reggie Jackson might be hitting his home runs under pressure.

But Tuesday night he'll be swinging for pure pleasure. "In this game we just show up and play for fun," the 23-year-old' Oakland slugger said Monday on the eve of his first all-star game. "I'm off today and tomorrow night will be fun a chooseup game between the leagues." Every day baseball can be more pain than pleasure, but Jackson has been attending to his business in spectacular fashion this year and enjoying it tOOj He hit his 37th home run last Sunday at Anaheim, rocketing six games ahead of Roger Mar-is's 61-homer game of eight years "Right row I'm just looking for No. 38," he said. "Sixty is too far away, 50 is too far away and the higher up you get the less they'll pitch to you." Jackson doubtless will have to learn to live with pressure, as Maris did, if he continues to bomb the fences.

But for the next 24 hours, he intends to- relax and appreciate his first All-Star appearance as the American League's, starting center fielder. "Just playing between two big Franks in the game (leftfielder Frank Howard and rightfielder Frank Robinson) is going to be something for me," he said. "I'm going to be impressed Just being out there on the field with all those Jackson led all A.L. outfielders in the all-star balloting. But he doesn't see himself as a superstar.

"A guy is a star after he puts five or six good years back to back," he said. "Matty Alou (the National League's all-star centerfielder) hits .350 all his life. And guys like Willie Mays and Hank Aaron play like the sun it comes up every day.and you just wonder how hot it will be. Aaron has been here for 15 years. When the All-Star game comes up, they just roll him in.

He's the best natural hitter in baseball. He plays the game with fluid ease." "Mays? That's my ballplayer.

Times News Service WASHINGTON This will be the first all-star game in history, no doubt, where ballpla though, it has been a wretched one.

Two years ago at Anaheim the Nationals had to go 15 innings before beating the Americans, 2-1, as a dozen pitchers achieved the astounding total of 30 strikeouts. A year ago at Houston the Nationals triumphed once more. The score was 1-0 and it was an unearned the Tigers, Carl Yastrzemski of the Red Sox and those whose brushes with greatness have stood the test of time. The Hall of Famers, however, already have it made to baseball's Mount Olympus where only the sports immortals reside. Their significance at this all-star game heightens the continuing way the game clings to the glamor figures from a past that is ro rich in tradition.

Although the doomsday prophets have been forecasting the slow death' of baseball, indications this season have been that the demise has been grossly exaggerated. There has been a1 quickening of interest all over the country. The New York Mets have stirred imaginations and captivated folks with their unexpected clout. The sudden emergence of new stars such as Jackson, Oakland's threat to the Babe Ruth and Roger Maris home run records, has been a help. So has been the return to the sport of Ted Williams, the man who not only symbolized hitting but reawakened a movement that has enabled the batters to escape from the thrall of the pitchers.

Supposedly the all-star game has been baseball's showcase. For the past two seasons, run at that. -ff if- i yers will be seek-i autographs from spectators.

the present. Although the general tendency of today's youth is to scorn the past with an anti-hero disdain, the modern ballplayers react like squares and hold the hall of famers in an awed reverence. So the athletes in Tuesday's game, usually autograph givers, will become signature seekers when they meet up with the god-like figures from their boyhood days. Each will be wondering, perhaps, if he will someday rate election to Cooperstown. Of the 56 players here, at least one is a lead pipe cinch.

He is Willie Mays of the Giants. Others in the highly probable category include Henry Aaron of the Braves and Frank Robinson of the Orioles. But there also are kids of tremendous promise that may take the better part of two decades to determine how well they live up: to that promise. Among them would be Tom Seaver of the Mets, Reggie Jackson of the Athletics, Johnny Bench of the Reds, Reggie Smith of the Red Sox, Rod Carew of the Twins and others. Will they peter out or continue on the upswing? In addition there are those who will merit career evaluation after their playing days are terminated.

Some are near the end, but more have a long way to go.
