ing determinedly onto the bat
ting leaderships of the two major
leagues.
During the last week, Appling,
veteran shortstop, passed the

long-timo players In the major
leagues and raised his batting
average three points to .336 to
continue nine points In front of
Rookie Dick Wakefield of De
troit at the top of the American
league.
In the National league, star
outfielder of tho world champ
ion Cardinals, also boosted his
average eight points to .353 and
maintained a big advantage over
his closest rival, Billy Herman
of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who
came out of his slump sufficient
ly to gain seven points and a
.325 percentage.
Much of the interest In the
senior circuit, however, center
ed on the 27-game batting streak
of Harry Walker of tho Card
inals, who failed to make the
select society of top hitters by
one point.

Manpower Lack Forces
Indians Off Gridiron
Coaching Staff to Devote Energies
To Army's Physical Fitness Program
PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 17 (?') Stanford's football Indians
bit the dust today war victims.
Stanford will not field a team this year or probably for the
duration of the war, for that mattor because there just aren't
enough interested, able-bodied non-army men on the campus to
make up a squad.
Tho official announcement last night said that "Stanford uni
versity cannot play its conference football schedule because of
a lack of manpower on the campus. All games are cancelled."
Coach Marchio Schwartz and his staff will devote their ener
gies to the army's physical fitness program at Stanford.

cd up for spring practice, but
Schwartz figured he could build
up a team from the many army
boys In training on the campus.
The army killed that idea, how
ever, with its rule prohibiting
the trainees from participating
In Intercollegiate athletics.
Stanford's decision threw the
southern half of the Pacific
Coast conference into a jumble
and meant the suspension of the
bitter, 50-year-old pigskin feud
with the University of California
the "big game" in these parts.
The Indians, one of the coun
try's top-ranking football pow
ers for decades, had games billed
with California, Santa Clara, the
University of San Francisco, and
the St. Mary's and Del Monte
pre flight service teams, as well
as homc-and-home games . with
Southern California and the
University of California at Los
Angeles.
There were indications that
nearby Santa Clara university
and perhaps other coast schools
which have an overwhelming
majority of servicemen might
follow Stanford's lead in aban
doning football. Many of them
have a similar manpower short
age. Santa Clara, which Is not a
conference member, will reveal
Its plans in a few days, said
Coach Lawrence T. (Buck)
Shaw, adding that the prospect
was "extremely gloomy.
University of California's
Coach L. B. (Stub) 'Allison ex
pressed regret at Stanford's
demise, terming the Indian club
a "keen competitor," and adding
that the Golden Bears will "def
initely go ahead with football."
California has naval trainees up
on which to draw.
Southern California, UCLA
and the other teams Stanford
had lined up set about re-arranging
their schedules. UCLA
filled in College of Pacific ten
tatively for October 2.
Pro Gridders

NEW YORK, Aug. 17 VP)
Both of New York city's pro
fessional football teams, the

The Giants announced the

ing passer with Texas Christian

came up with Ken Heincman, a
former Texas School of Mines
tosser.
