Seven representatives from the Junior circuit arts on it as compared to thr'ee for the National. Despite the minority representation from the senior circuit, the world champion St.

Louis Cardinals ranked next to the Red Sox, their world series victims, in number of performers on the team, landing all three National league positions. Only three other teams placed men on the stellar aggregation and none boasted more than one performer. One player from Detroit, one from Cleveland and another from the New York Yankees gave the American league its huge majority. None Unanimous. Of the 10 men selected (two pitchers were named), eight are former servicemen and only two, Pitcher Bobby Feller and Catch er Aaron Robinson, saw big league action in 1945.

Both returned in the middle of the 1945 season and were able to get some games under their belts. No player was unanimous choice. Ted1 Williams drew the most support from the scribes, the Boston lied Sox outfielder being named in 120 of the 122 ballots cast. Bobby Doerr, teammate of Williams, ranked next with 117 votes for second base. Hal Newhouser dominated the pitchers, the Detroit Tigers' ace lefthander polling 102 votes to 85 for Cleveland's Feller, the major league's Strikeout king.

Close Race. Stan Musial of the Cardinals ranked fourth with 96 votes, 81 for first base, the rest for center and right fields. Dora DiMaggio and Johnny Pesky rounded out the Red Sox representation, DiMaggio winning the centerfield post with 74 votes and Pesky shortstop with 49. The closest race developed for third base when Kurowskt nosed out Oeorgo Kell of the Tigers, 57 to 55, with only a scattering vote for four others. The widest divergence of opin ion involved the catchers, nine Irish for 'Control of Air' season to rebuild for 1947.

Waived out of the American league, the 33-year-old' Bonham was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Art Cuccurullo, 27- year-old southpaw pitcher, and another player or piayers to De named at a later date.

As a relief pitcher for the Pirates in 1944 and 1945, he had a National league record of three wins and five losses. Bonham, who came to the Yankees from their Kansas City farm in the American association in 1940, saw action in the world series in 1941, 1942 and 1943.

Bonham, reported to the Yankees on the tag end of their spring exhibition tour this year and, troubled by a bad back, won only five games during the season while losing eight. His best performance was a two-hit 2-0 shutout over the Boston Red Sox after they had won 15 straight games. What They Say: PAULINO UZCUD UN, former heavyweight contender from Spain: "My greatest hope is to reach the United States and beat Joe Louis." GRANTLAND It ICE, noted sports scribe: "Promoters who take credit for this amazing boom in sports are merely being goofy. They don't even have to be smart or good.

receiving support. Robinson emerged the choice with only 58 votes. The smallest number acquired by any winner went to Pesky who won the shortstop berth with only 49 votes. Lou Boudreau of the Indians was second with 32, followed by Marty Marion of the Cards, 27 and Pee Wee Reese of the Brooklyn Dodgers, 13. Buddy Kerr of the New York Giants brought up the rear with one vote.

tJreenberg Fails. Another close race centered around the right field post, which was won by Country Slaughter, who defeated Brooklyn's Dixie Walker 59 to 45. Five other outfielders received votes for that position. One of the biggest surprises was the failure of Hank Orecn-berg, the majors' home run and runs batted in king, to receive a single vote. The Tiger first basenlan, off to a slow start this season, finished strong to wrest the slugging leadership from Williams with 44 home runs and 126 runs batted in.

Beats Brother Joe. MickeVernon, Washington's stylish first sacker and American league's batting champion, finished a poor second to Musial, polling only 24 votes. Another cycbrow-lifter was the comparative low total of voles gathered by the Yankees Joo DiMaggio, who trailed his brother Dont by (11 votes for the center field post.

Sullivan, so it appears, has settled down on his passes. His anxiety to dispose of the ball twice in early season games when apparently trapped resulted in two interceptions. Apes Mr. Tunnell. But Wednesday Bob wasn't tossing the pigskin to anyone unless his receiver was in the clear.

He stole a page from Mr. Tunnell's book in this department. Air Commander Anderson has maneuvers scheduled for Thursday and Friday. Saturday it will be the real thing with the Notre Dame team as the target. out the workout stressed the importance of pass defense.

So far it hasn't been necessary for the Fighting Irish to resort to overhead maneuvers. But Frank Leahy's "supermen" are expected to keep the air lane Jammed with passes Saturday. The Irish have one of the greatest passer! in the game in Johnny Lujack, 180-pound 6-foot quarterback. Lujack, who has two more years to play at Notre Dame, completed eight passes in 15 tries against Army in 1943 for two touchdowns. That was before he left for the service.

htheeketskl Passes. Assistant Coach Joe Sherketski impersonated Lujack in Wednes-diiys workout. The former Notre Dama athlete completed his share of passes against the varsity. Joe had less luck against the second -team, however, which showed plenty of fight. "The first team, if you can call it that, was listless Wednesday," reported Anderson.

"The second squad had the fire and pep. "If this keeps up, several of the necond-squad boys will find themselves starting the game Saturday." Jim Shoaf, the 240-pound giant who was the star of the second-half stand against Michigan, is a possible starter against the Irish. Shoaf Shows Drive, Jim showed the same drive and determination he did against the Wolverines In Wednesday's drill. And when Jim is good, he's good. Anderson indicated that Ray Carlson, 190-pound guard from Fort Dodge, may start at guard, along with roly-poly, jovial Earl Banks.

It brings to light the point that Eddie Is sacrificing weight for speed, supporting early- reports that the Hawks plan to spring some new formations on the Irish. Bob Sullivan shared the passing with Tunnell Wednes Sox, Howie of the Cardinals and Johnny Sain, 20-gam winner of the Boston Braves, received mention. Good Punch' Harry (The Cat) Brecheen, who won three games for the Cards irt the recent world series, did not get a vote. Ferriss, who blanked the Red-birds in the third game but was batted out In the finl, snared 33 to rank third. The all-alar squad represents a tremendous punch at the plate.

Led by Musial, the-National league leading hitter with .365 and Williams, who batted .312, the composite batting average of this stellar aggregation, not Including the pitchers, Is .318. Four of the members drove in more than 100 runs during th season. The team is backed by superb pitching. Newhouser and Feller, tied for the most victories at 26 apiece, had a combined total of 52 wins against 24 defeats. Included were 16 shutouts, one no-hitter, two one-hitters and two two-hitters.

Dressen to Yanks Seen BROOKLYN, N. Y.

JP Charles (Chuck) Dressen, coach of the Brooklyn baseball Dodger since 1939, announced Thursday that he had resigned from th Brooklyn staff after a lengthy conference with President Branch Rickey in the club offices. Dressen's resignation lent strong credence to persistent r-ports that he soon will become associated with the New YoVlc Yankees in an important capacity either as manager or coach. Many baseball students have believed that Dressen was in no small measure responsible for th success of the Dodgers in recent years.

Oklahoma Halfback Joe Golding, a decrepit old man of 26, is worrying the Iowa State football team this week. Golding's the fellow the Iowans must stop if they are to have any success at all against the potent Sooners in the homecoming game here Saturday. "Dong Kerr scouted Oklahoma for us," said Coach Mike Michalske Thursday.

"Doug says they've got one good back Golding hut the others aren't up to Oklahoma par. "Maybe we can send a mcssr.nyer to Golding that he's wanted on the phone. That way ve might yet along for a while." Rae Crowthers. Penn's line coach, says he believes he has perhaps one of the finest lines In Penn's history, lie won't com pare that forward wall with the all-time greats, but many fans who have seen Penn roll up 145 points In three games rate that line with the best. Heading from left to right, they are End Frank Jenkins, Tackle George Savltsky, Guard Joe Dickenwn, Center Charley Bednarik, Guard Fd Grain, Tackle Kernie Gallagher and End Bob Sponatigle.

Dickerson and Savitsky were selected all-East and all-Pennsylvania last year, Dickerson winning a berth on the second all-Amcrican eleven and Savitsky being named to the third team. Each won the lineman of the week award last year. Just Wednesday Oallagher joined the select group of linemen of the week. Crowthers calls Gallagher "the finest lineman I have seen this year." The Seven Pillars of Pennsylvania rank second In defense against rushing in the nation, having held three opponents to an average ground gain of only 49.7 yards.
