FOUR RED SOX TO START FOR AL ALL-STARS
Two Other Players Selected As Reserves; Carrigan Will Coach

CHICAGO--The 1926 American League All-Star team will have a definite Boston flavor, as seven members of the Red Sox have made the trip to Chicago for the annual showcase for baseball's best.

Leading the Red Sox contingent is perennial All-Star Pat O'Farrell, who will be starting his seventeenth Midsummer Classic at second base. Right behind him at the top of the American League order will be teammate Frank Frisch, who missed last season's game with a calf injury. First baseman Lou Gehrig and catcher Johnny Bassler were also chosen as the league's best at their positions.

George Sisler, player-manager of the Browns, who is also managing the American League squad, named two other Red Sox as reserves. Outfielder Chick Shorten has earned a spot on the team for the first time, while pitcher George Dauss is a veteran of four All-Star games. Furthermore, Red Sox manager Bill Carrigan, who guided the Red Sox through a 1925 pennant fight that ended with a playoff loss to Sisler's Browns, will be coaching first base for the American Leaguers.
