Musial, whose average has been rising from week to week down the stretch, brought It up to .358 yesterday, two pointa l higher than a week ago and far 1 out of reach of his closest pur suer, Billy Herman of the Brook lyn Dodgers, who has a .830 mark. Appling, slipping from .324 to .820, Is not no far In front of his teammate, Ralph Hodgin, but has a reasonable chance of maintain ing his present eight point load. Hodgin, a late starter in the batting race, has been at bat 388 times and must go over 400 to be recognized by the American league. Vanderbilt Has Grid Team But No Schedule NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 28 W) Vanderbilt university has a football team this year but no schedule.

The aeason this year, extend Ing a week later than In the past because spring training waa done in the north, has reached an anti climax. With both pennants do elded the fans apparently are thinking about the world series, the players about their draft atat- ua and the managers about teams made up of 17-year-olds for next year. The war manpower commis sion's ruling yesterday that base- bull la not essential scarcely was a surprise. It had been aald be fore in various versions, but this latest pronouncement on the specific case of Al Zarllla of the St. Louis Browns, a pre-Pearl Harbor father who had been clas sified 1-A by hla draft board, pointed up the problem anew. Buseball'a present player sup ply would dlxsolve soon, even If the season didn't. To meet this situation the managers on almost all clubs except the New York Yunkces and St. Louis Cardinals, who are tuning up for tho world series next week, have turned the last week of the season into a wholesale tryout camp for new recruits. Everybody expects baseball to continue next year, but the fans don't seem to care whether it continues thia week or not. At Cincinnati, where the Reds aro striving to sew up second place In tho National league, 767 customers paid to see Clyde Shoun pitch a five-hit 3-2 victory over the Phillies yesterday.

Mills, Fremont, Roosevelt Win First Toucfi Tackle Jilts Mills, Fremont and Roosevelt schools emerged victorious from the first rounds of the intcrgrade school touch tackle tourney which opened Saturday, Septem ber 27, at the Mills field, Joe Peak, city school physical educa tion director announced Monday. Roosevelt, tied with Pelican at the end of the game, worked off the tie In a series of three alternate plays which ended with the ball on the Pelican side of the 50-yard line, giving the Roosevelt men the game by a one-point margin. Fremont topped Riverside by a score of 26-0. A three-yard pass in the second quarter, Craig to Groth, was good for the first Fremont touchdown followed by the extra point. Craig again took the ball after a 15-yard pass for another touchdown in the sec ond quarter. In the third quart er, 'Craig ran 15 yards to score and In the fourth quarter Green Ramsey Talks Grant Tilt At Quarterback Meeting; Tells Chances With Salem Salem high school has a good football team, Pelican Coach Frank Ramsey told the Quarter back club Monday noon, not only because they have a line of re turning leltermen, but because of their size. . However, in the light of points uncovered in Friday night's Grant game by Ramsey, the Peli cans will work to iron out their weaknesses and come out on the Three-Year Olds Tangle In Richest NEW YORK, Sept. 28 (F) Seven of the better three-year-old thoroughbreds who aren't in the hospital tangle today in one of the fall's richest races for the division the $10,000 Lawrence Realization with W. E. Boe ing's Slide Rule the S to 2 fav orite. The race which has been won in the recent past by such greats as Whirlaway and Alsab and which for a time early this sum mer loomed as a duel between Count Fleet and Occupation, has become virtually a second rate affair because of hospital cases. Both Count Fleet, winner of the derby, Preakness, Belmont and Withers Mile this spring, and Occupation, leading juvenile money winner of 1942, both are shelved with leg injuries. With the "big" horses out of the way, Slide Rule moved into the favorite spot. His chief claim to fame is that he finished third behind Count Fleet and Allen T. Simmons' Blue Swords In the" Kentucky derby. - Jackie Westrope will be up on the favorite who will be coupled with Boeing's Oregon in the bet ting. Slide Rule will carry 126 pounds and Oregon only 108 as the small field hurries through the mile and five furlongs.

A pass to Lambert made the ex tra counter. In the second quarter Fairview came through for their lone point by virtue of a pass, Myers to Jim Thornton, good for 20. yards, but Mills came back in the fourth quarter with a Daws to Jack Lust pass which netted 15 yards and the touchdown. The city grade school speed ball matches began Monday night with Riverside playing Mills at the Mills field. Officials were Clemens and Peak. Tues day night a speedball battle be tween Fremont and Roosevelt was scheduled at the Roosevelt field. large end of the score in next Friday's tilt. One advantage the KUHS gridders will have hinges on the fact that no definite of fense must be guarded against as in the Grant tilt when the line defense had to be set up in an unorthodox style ' to combat a peculiar type of play. Salem uses a regular offensive setup. In talking over Friday's battle, Large Frank credited Milne, Grant's returning star letterman, as a "sweet player." It was his offensive play that the Pelicans were forced to revamp defense to fit, by putting big Patzke oppos ite him. The Pelican backs did a good job, however, Ramsey said, es pecially Schortgen, who ran as hard and hit as hard almost as Don Mast, star KUHS gridder from last year a champion team, Petersteiner came In for praise for a good quarterbacking job, as did the rest of the squad for downing a powerful foe.

Sure Sign Seals Grab Play-Off Cup, Bonus Son Frontifco Takes Money By Beating Seattle in Thrill Packed Gam SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 28 Ifp) The president's cup of the Pacific Coast league goes to the San Francisco Seals, winners of the 1943 playoff against Seattle in a thrill-packed finish. The Seals won the deciding game yesterday, 5 to 4, to earn a bonus of $5000 for capturing the post-season series from the favored Rainiers by the margin of four games to two. Seattle literally fell down fighting. It had scored three runs in the ninth inning and had filled the bases to revive its chances of victory in the four-out-of-seven game playoff. The end came abruptly, how. ever, when Frank Tincup, pinch hitting for Seattle Pitcher Joe Demoran, fell down two steps from first base. The game was over with a double play at first and at the plate. Seattle, 1941 and 1942 playoff winner, received $2500 as the losers share. R. H.' E.

Southworth Signs With Cards Again Billy the Kid's Contract Extended Before Scries; Salary Not Disclosed ST. LOUIS, Sept. 28 VP) Manager Billy Southworth's sig nature on the 1944 Cardinal con tract comes under the heading of least unexpected news of the week. For extension of Billy the Kid's contract yesterday salary terms not disclosed comes just a week before the world cham pion Red Birds try for their second crown. One of the last players to join the Cardinal's first champion ship team in 1926, Southworth came from the farm club to succeed Manager Ray Blades in June, 1940. He lefted the team out of- a slump into third place behind Cincinnati and Brooklyn, and trailed only the Dodgers at the close of the 1941 season. Last year he demonstrated a memorable reliance in players by pushing them at a terrific pace sufficient to overcome a 10 i game lead in August. Carried over into the series, their spurt gave them four consecutive games to the Yankee's one. The Cards set a new record 10 days ago by annexing their league pennant again, after winning the world series last year. NARROW COEUR D'ALENE, Ida.
