This game originally, seven years ago, was termed the Battle of the American League Power versus the National League Pitching.
Dave DriscollSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
However, this year, the hitting department seems to be pretty well matched, and the pitching superiority would seem to favor the American Leaguers, piloted by Joe McCarthy manager of the New York Yankees, who stepped into the breach made by the ailing Connie Mack of the Athletics, originally named manager of the American Leaguers.

The pitching staff of the American League team consists of Big Red Ruffing of the Yankees, Tommy Bridges of the Detroit Tigers, and Bob Feller, the schoolboy wonder of the Cleveland Indians.

And sharing the mounds of the National League will be Paul Derringer of the Reds, who, by the way, cleared up his battle with the courts just in time to make the game, Big Bill Lee of the Chicago Cubs, and Whitlow Wyatt, who's been a tower of strength with the Brooklyn Dodgers this season.
