This year there was no stuffing of the ballot boxes. The fans who made a farce of last year's All-Star baseball game by swamping the National League squad with Cincinnati Redlegs, never got into the act. The teams for the 25th annual mid-season show were chosen by votes of players, managers and coaches...

All evening the count was closer than the game (final score: Cincinnati 8, L.A. 3).
