All Star Game Preview and Local Baseball Notes
The 16th annual All Star game set for Sports Park in St. Louis draws top talent from the two major leagues but may miss stars like Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio due to injuries. The American League faces lineup questions as Bob Feller declines. NL looks to Ewell Blackwell and strong Cardinal/Braves rotation. Nearby, Cory Merchants plan weekly games with outside clubs, and the region eyes a pro-amateur tourney next Monday. The Midget League standings show a tight three-way race among Red Sox Pirates Cards, with Athletics close behind. DuFont cuts nylon monofilament prices 26 percent, likely lowering shop prices for anglers. Summer camps loom for Cleveland Indians at Meadville and Dix University football pre-season work near St. John’s College.
