2 (N), 4 Denotes Sunday Games GAYLE TALBOT TAMPA, March 15 (IP) Marse Joe McCarthy has agreed, as g. sort of compromise, to use only five or six New York Yankees in His i starting line-up against the down-trodden National Leaguers in the all-star game for the benefit of Finnish relief here Sunday. Joe could, of course, have nominated the entire Yankee lineup for the benefit tussle, but the manager of the world champs bowed to public opinion to the extent of naming three members of the Boston Red Sox tentatively to start the titanie engagement, Joes choices, announced last night, include Joe Gordon, Red Rolfe, Charlie Keller, Joe DiMag-gio, and Bill Dickey of the regular Yankee-line-up, Tae three Red Sox named were Jimmy Foxx, Ted Williams and Joe Cronin. The starting American League flinger might be a Yankee too, Joe. said.

Either Red Ruffing or Lefty Gomez. Gives Others Chance Manager Bill McKechnie of the Cincinnati Reds, who has been placed in charge of the National League forces for Sundays game, divided his starting brigade more equitably. Perhaps Bill still thinks this is an amateur tournament, though he should know much better after what happened to him in the last world series. Bill said he would start Morris Arnovich of the Phillies in left field, followed by Cooky Lavagetto of Brooklyn at third base, Mel Ott of the Giants in right field, John Mize of St, Louis at first base, and so on. In other words, a typical Na tional League all-star line-up.

It begin to look like they will never learn. Rather Have Werber McKechnie would a lot rather have his own Bill Werber on third base Sunday than all the Lavaget-tos in Brooklyn. But McKechnie still thinks, in tire naive manner of the National Leaguers, that an all-star game should bring as wide a representation as possible from the clubs, McCarthy, the realist, throws in the best men at his command and wins. Ernie Lombardi of Cincinnati will catch for the National Leaguers, with Demaree of the Giants in r-pnt of Boston at second and Bill Jurges of the Giants at short. Their starting pitcher will be either Paul Derringer or Bucky Walters of Cincinnati.

McCarthy, more cagey, said his starting choice would lie between Ruffing and Gomez of the Yankees. Lefty Grove of Boston, Buck Newsom and Tommy Bridges of Detroit, and Dutch Leonard of Washington. All he would say for sure was that Bob Feller of Cleveland Would not start.
