know he'll get the best play possi¬

You know, you fans have a big
say in this game because it’s your
votes that pick the starting teams.
So, check your local papers for
voting blanks and be sure to vote.
Let's see all you National und
American League fans go all out
and pick an unbeatable team. It
should be a great game.
At present, no one is sure who
will be on the starting teams, but
there's one thing you can be sure
of—there will be plenty of Lucky
smokers in there. From what 1 've
seen around the leagues, Luckies
are a big favorite. And why
shouldn't they be with that
cleaner, fresher, smoother taste.
Try a carton yourself, and see how
good a cigarette can taste. See
you next week, and don’t forget
your All-Star votes.
