The St. Louis Cardinals' veter an outfielder got off to one of the slowest starts of his long ca reer this season, but picked up almost 40 points during the past week to move into third place in the National league batting race. Jackie Robinson of the Brook lyn Dodgers remained the lead er for the fourth straight week with a .353 mark, while Del En nis of the Philadelphia Phillies moved into second place at .342 Then came Musial at .339.

Officials Give Explanation for Tourney Drawing Albany (U.R) Widespread misunderstanding and some bit terness was reported Saturday among teams at the state baseball tournament here over drawings for team placings. Tournament officials said in correct reports about placings were published before the event opened and that resentment was created when the reported pro cedure was not folowed. Tom Pigott and Oden Hawes of the Oregon School Activities association explained that the team drawings for positionin the tournament were as old as the tournament itself. Anti-Climactic The reason for the drawing originally, they explained, was that it would be anti-climactic to have the Portland teams play each other in opening games when one had already defeated the other in regular season play. Another reason for the draw ing was to save the schools the expense of scouting known op ponents. When this year s draw ing was made Albany was seed ed eighth for financial reasons and the other seven schools drew for positions, the officials said. The two officials said the sys- team had been approved by the Oregon High School Coaches association which also recom mended that the same system be used for basketball playoffs and that the drawing be made one week prior to the start of the playoffs. If the pairings originally an nounced had been adhered to, Medford high would have met Junction City In Its first game of the state tournament instead of The Dalles. Junction City proved to be the weak team of the tournament and bowed out in the first round to Albany Medford lost 2 to 1 to The Dalles on Thursday.

(International) Ducks Drub OSC 18 to 5 Eugene (U.R) Oregon State college Saturday used four pitchers, three of them in the seventh Inning, in an unsuccess ful attempt to stem a fierce scor ing attack that gave the Univer sity of Oregon an 18 to 5 Nor thern division baseball victory over OSC. In a 10-run scoring spree in the seventh inning, Oregon sent 14 batters against three Beaver pitchers who gave up four walks, hit two batsmen and allowed four hits. One of those was a double by Earl Averill who also had a homer in the 8th. Lcftfielder Jim Livesay and Catcher Norv Ritchcy of Oregon each got three hits of the total of 16 that Oregon State pitchers gave up. Winning pitcher was Bill Mays, a righthander., If Oregon State had won the wild fracas, it would have clin ched the Northern division title. As the division stands now, Washington could grab the top spot if it beats Idaho Monday and Tuesday in games scheduled at Moscow.
