Smith, disabled since May 24 with a sore shoulder, was voted to start for the 12th time. The only player elected more times was RodCarew(15). NL manager Felipe Alou of Montreal said he intends use Colorado's Vinny Castilla at third in place of William? and Cincinnati's Barry Larkin at shortstop instead of Smith. Ripken has started 11 consecutive All-Star games, including 1988, when he finished second to Alan Trammell in voting but replaced the injured Detroit Tigers shortstop. Boggs was elected to start for the ninth straight time, Griffey for the sixth and Puckett for the fourth.

The rest of NL pitching staff includes Tom Henke of St. Louis, Greg Maddux of Atlanta, Randy Myers of the Chicago Cubs and Todd Worrell of Los Angeles. In the AL, the other pitchers picked were Kevin Appier of Kansas City, Chuck Finley and Lee Smith of California, Erik Hanson of Boston, Randy Johnson of Seattle, Steve Ontiveros of Oakland, Kenny Rogers of Texas and David Wells of Detroit. Just three Indians Ray Fosse (1971), Manny Trillo (1983) and Sandy Alomar Jr. (1990-92) had been elected to start in the previous quarter century.

from page 44 Griffey, who broke his left wrist May 27, led AL outfielders with 1,204,748 votes. Williams, who broke his right foot June 3, led NL third basemen with 1,029,519 votes. Cal Ripken of the Baltimore Orioles, closing in on Lou Gehrig's record of 2,130 consecutive games played, led all players with 1,698,524 votes. The closest voting was for the third outfield spot in the AL. Lofton was fourth, 21,822 votes behind Minnesota outfielder Kirby Puckett.

The number of votes was down sharply from 1994, primarily because Texaco Inc. didn't distribute ballots and baseball attendance this season has dropped 20 percent. In 1994, a record 14,040,122 votes were cast and Griffey got the most, 6,079,688. This year, 5,808,000 votes were cast, the fewest since 5.5 votes in 1987. Also elected to start for the AL were Chicago White Sox first baseman Frank Thomas, New York Yankees third baseman Wade Boggs and Texas catcher Ivan Rodriguez.

In the NL, Fred McGriff of Atlanta was elected at first, Craig Biggio of Houston at second and Mike Piazza of Los Angeles at catcher. The elected outfielder starters were Barry Bonds of San Francisco, Lenny Dykstra of Philadelphia and Tony Gwynn of San Montoyo, Manahan. DP OTT I.
