Four-Way Tic By JOE REICHI.ER Attocuted Frees !nrtwn'er So ynu thought those recent two team dead heats in the American and National leagues were hot stuff? i Pooh! They were just routine finishes compared to what may j happen this year! For those who j are looking or real, honesUo-: goodness, spine-tingling excite ment, how about a four-way dead-1 lock for first place? Don't scoff. It could happen. The wav the American league race has been moving along it wouldn't cause too much of a surprise should Detroit, New York, Cleve land and Boston wind up all even on the evening of Oct. 1 the regu lar season's final day. Get a close-up of the last two days of the campaign. The Tigers will be host to the Indians on Saturday, Sept. 30 and Sunday, Oct. 1. On the same two afternoons, the Red Sox will tangle with the . Yankees in Boston. Should the four contenders enter the final weekend all knotted up, and should they split those scries, 75 Prospects Out For Grid Practice Seventy-five players have turned out for pre-season football prac tice at Roseburg senior high school, Athletic Business Manager Jack Newby said yesterday. This increases by six the original turn out. Head Coach Cece Sherwood has containucd intensive practice in fundamentals and hones to have the team in shape for the jamboree on Sept. 9. Then comes the nine game season with five games to be played on the home field. Newby announced late last week that season tickets for the games will go on sale for $6 at the J V Sporting Goods store Sept. 9. Sea son tickets are presently on sale by mail for those who wish to retain the same scats they had last year. Reserve seat ducats will sell at $1.50 and general ad mission for $1. It was erroneously stated pre viously that Jack Newby is ath letic director. Actually this is the title of Cece Sherwood who is also head football coach. Newby han dles the business end as athletic business manager. Following is the varsity sched ule with the last two games to he played at Grants Pass and Reeds port instead of at Roseburg as previously disclosed. Sept. IS Springfield at Rose burg.

Boston is fourth, one game be hind Cleveland, also with 30 to go. Boston was the only one of the big lour to win yesterday. The Red Sox came from a mile behind to outlast the Indians, 1514. Detroit bowed to Philadelphia's oft-beaten Athletics, 4-3. The Chicago White Sox upset the Yankees, 6 4. Singularly, only one homer was among the collection of 30 base hits in the Sox-Indian' affair. But that was the big one. It was hit by Al Zanlla to provide Boston with its final run. Bob Feller, third of four Cleveland pitchers, was the loser.

'Weekend' Player Wins Net Match FOREST HILLS, N. Y. m Don McNeill, who at 32 likes to call himself a "weekend" ten nis player, may be just that. But don't try to tell young Ken McGregor, the Australian Davis cup team's boy wonder. Ken oc cupied a spot in the stands to day, along with some other also rans. Meanwhile. McNeill, the 1940 national champion who hasn't even entered the tourney since 1946, took on Bill Talbert. McNeill's stunning 9-7, 3-6, 6-4. 61 triumph over McGregor in the first round of the national singles championships yesterday proved that you've got to have more than a mighty service to get by the court-wise veterans. "As a matter of fact," said McNeill, "McGregor did not seem to be quite as good as he is cracked up to be. After all, I'm an old gaffer, and he certainly could outrun me. But I had mv strategy planned and had to sink or swim with it. "I rushed him all the way and wa amc iu ,isa mm at (lie liei. tv nnnA J.. I enough to keep him hopping.

(Only game scheduled) Musial Appears Set For Crown NEW YORK-WP) Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals looks like a shoo-in for his fourth Nation al league batting title. With five weeks of play remain ing, the St. Louis slugger holds a 15-point lead on runnerup Johnny Hupp of Pittsburgh. Musial is hit ting .355, Hopp .340. Jackie Robinson of Brooklyn seems to have dropped out of con tention with his .330 average. The defending champ is in third place. Figures include games of Sunday, Aug. 27. Hopp has been playing only part time. The Pirates' versatile in-ficlder-outfielder has been having kidney trouble and it's possible he will not bat the necessary 400 times to be eligible for the title. He's been up 312 times. Musial has 157 hits the most in the league in 442 at bats. He al so leads with 37 doubles. In fourth place is Ted Kluszewski of Cincinnati with .32. Brooklyn's Carl Furillo picked up one point but slipped a notch to fifth place wilh .324. The only newcomer to the top ten is Boston's Sid Gordon.

The former National leaguer boasts a .394 mark today as the seventh place Angels tackle third- place Hollywood in a series that isn't too important except for pos sibly answering the query: Can Baumholtz maintain his hot pace.' Oscar Eckhardt with a league record .414 was the last Coast leaguer to hit for the coveted 400 mark. Two years later, in 1935, Old Os just missed with .399. That could be the fate of 31-year-old Baumholtz, who is seeking one last shot in the majors after not quite cutting it with Cincinnati and the Chicago Cubs, But it frankie continues his belting of last week 16 for 29 and a .552 average against league-leading Oakland he should be crowding or go over .400 by week's end. The Oaks will try to extend their S'-Veame lead at the expense of the Seals from across the biy in San rrancisco. Runner-up San Diego plays eight games at Portland with a good chance to make some hay The remaining series puts Seattle at Sacramento, where Walter Mc Coy, new Solon Negro pitcher, makes his bow.
