Grid Battle on Soldier Field By DAVE HOFF CHICAGO, Aug. 27 (PJ-The annual contest between the college all-stars and the professional champions always has been football's dream game, but it took a war to make it a financial masterpiece. ' . ' Tomorrow ninth staging of the extravaganza in Soldier Field will net something like $160,000; to the war relief funds, the largest sum raised by any sports event since Pearl Harbor, Of this, Slll,600: was stowed away in the till without a ticket being sold, that amount being raised by .donations - of ?100 each from sportsminded and patriotic citizens who re ceived in turn a complimentary seat in a special section on the 50-yard line commonly known now as century row. That total was turned over yesterday to the army emer gency relief fund. After tomor row night's game the net pro ceeds from an attendance of 101,000 spectators will be di vided equally between the army and navy relief organizations. It is expected to total more than $50,000. Bob Zuppke, the stormy lit tle Dutchman of University of Illinois fame, has been wise cracking and strutting ever since the all-stars reported Au gust 8. But last night he was tense and all business a sure sign that he has accepted the challenge to beat the Chicago Bears, 1941 National Football league champions coached by George Ha las. . Under gymnasium conditions his players amused themselves until they had reached a peak of relaxation and fun. Then Zuppke's shrill voice cut in sharply: "All right outside." Under the glaring arc lights the athletes ran through signal drills in their blue and silver, star-studded uniforms. Then the starting lineup went into action against the "Little Bears," the lesser all-stars who demonstrate the pro champions plays. j Front Runners By Thi AttoclaUd PreM NATIONAL LEAGUE BATTING iUiser, Brooklyn, .430; Slaufditer, St. Louis, .324.

The 29-year-old infieldcY play ed his 678th consecutive game yesterday to tie a record estab lished by Walter (Biff) Schnller, San Francisco outfielder, in 1913-17. Luby started his string as a second baseman in 1939 and showed himself a real work horse by accomplishing in four seasons what it took Schaller five seasons to do. The youthful Oak player was not up to his .317 batting stan dard in yesterday's 11-lnnlng twilight game which the Padres won, 5-4. However, in four tries he got one of nine hits yielded by Norman Brown. .

A tremendous stake rested on today's twilight finale of the four-gamo series, because tits Rndblrds needed to take It to get the Dodgers really tottering. 1 1 But win or lose the Cardinals are making good their truculent claims that they would battle till the schedule runs out. A few weeks ago Brooklyn had a 10 game lead, ytt the feat of the Cardinals in sweeping the first three installments of their fnnr-gnm jrl- with th Mo tional league champions in St. Louis has helped whittle this down to 41. . The Cardinals are .waging a lone fight, for although; they have won 11 and lost eight against the Dodgers this year, no other, club has given Brook lyn as much as an even battle In the season's series.-- This has not daunted the Red birds, however, as they proved by capturing a second straight 2-1 extra-inning decision ' over" the Dodgers yesterday; for John ny Bcatley's 16th success. The game went 10 innings. The spunk of -the, St. Louis clubs, the Cardinals and Browns, is being exhibited too by the Boston Red Sox, who still have time to cause some commotion in the American league. Joe Cronin s crew.-has won nine straight games and -15 of the last 16 to shave the lead of the New York Yankees to 7t games. Boston humbled. , the . Cleve land Indians again yesterday, 4-1, on the three-hit hurling of Bill Butland. ...... Meanwhile the Yankees drop ped a 5-3 affair to the Chicago White Sox,- who were making their - final appearance of , the year in. New York and had not won a game before, in the sta dium. ' i In the only other American league action, the Detroit. Tigers threatened Cleveland's berth In the first division by taking- a doubleheader from the Philadel phia Athletics, 1-0 and 4-2. The third-place New York Giants of the National league snapped their five-game losing streak by battering the Cincin nati Reds for 15. hits and an 11- 2 triumph. The Phils and Chicago Cubs divided a doubleheader with! the tall-enders taking the first game 3-2, In 11 innings and the Cubs capturing the nightcap, 3-0, on the five-hit shutout hurling of rookie Bill Fleming. Indians Trip WIL Leaders; Senators Lose - By The Associated Press Once in a while the' Spokane Indians, last place Western In ternational Baseball league team, show a bit of the spark that won them the league pen nant last year and last night was one of those occasions, . Steadily pounding away at two Vancouver Capllano pitch ers,, the Indians piled up 10 hits for a 9-3 victory. . . . The Tacoma Tigers took their second straight from the Salem Senators with a 7-3 twilight vic tory at Salem, in a pitching duel between Tacoma's Fred Bradley and Eddie Erautt.

LOUIS, Aug. 27 (IP) Life with the St. Louis Cardinals champion father Lefty Max Lanier has gotten to be down right difficult for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Lanier, 28-ycar-old father of four who is having his best year In tho - majors with - 12 wins against 5' losses, goes out for his fifth triumph over the Na tional league leaders today with only two days of rest. Right now the Cards and Dodgers are; t ii r c I wH - ,m I ti - one of the tight-'' est of their many dlizy feuds. Lanier started It all off Mon day by holding the Bums to four hits. and squashing them 7 to 1. Then the Dodgers had . an acute attack of old-fashioned stretch nerves. They ran the next two games into extra innings and then lout each 2 to 1 by booting Infield hits that looked like sure outs. Tuesday night, for example, Mort Cooper pitched 14 Innings and had the game handed to him finnlly by Lew Rlggs who did a tumbling act stopping an in field grounder.
