LEASH lOetPlriS NI6UTS TOO-y.j World Series, Football Bowl Games Considered Sure Thing By MURRAY ROSE NEW YORK, Aug. 15 Wi Baseball and racing ara plan nlng to go full blast today on America's first peaceful day in nearly four years with Japan's surrender ushering in a new sports era that Is expected to make the "golden twenties" look tarnished in comparison. Racing and baseball mag nates had planned to close down their plants if President Truman asked the people to observe a day of prayer. But the president proclaimed Wed nesday and Thursday as legal holidays and since both sports normally operate on holidays the officials decided to carry on as usual. Baseball leader met In Washington today to discuss Judd, the Boston Red Sox cast off, enabled the Phils to down Chicago. Ray Prim's four-hitter resulted only In his fifth setback. Cards Gain Game St. Louis picked up a full game on Charley (The Banjo) Grimm and his hippy gang but had to go right down to the final out to trim Brooklyn, 2-1, on Whitey Kurowski':- ninth inning round tripper. Red - Bird Harry Brcchcen and Ralph Branca of the Brooks pitched in and out of trouble all afternoon because of wildness although the Cards had only three hits and the Dodgers but five. Pittsburgh snapped out of it to beat Boston in both ends of a doublcheader, 7-5 and 6-2 be hind Fritz Oslermueller and Walter Beck. It was a third straight success for Oslermueller since his army discharge and a third in a row for Beck since he was picked up from Cincin nati.

Monroe Johnson, director of the office of defense transportation, would hand them the good news that the world series could be played this October. The ODT chieftain indicat ed last night there would be glad tidings regarding the world series, football and other fall events by saying "there is a possibility of those things being arranged." He added that he probably would make the statement of the tra vel situation today. Football's post-season bowl games were considered to be a cinch but racing leaders were hoping that the restrictions on movement of horses by com mon carriers would be lifted the New York Giant to a 5-2 victory over Cincinnati. Nats Bow to Browns Rain washed out the Detroit New York game in the first in ning but the Tigers, gained ground because Washington bowed to St. Louis. 5-4. The Senators are now 3 s lengths back of the Bengals as they unpack their bags for a four-day stay at Briggs stadium. Jim Bagby of Cleveland shut out Boston. 3-0, with three hits with the help of four masters by Mickey Rocco and Dutch Meyer. The Indians lost the services of Manager Lou Bou drea for an indefinite period when he suffered a possible ankle fracture in a spill with DolDh Camilli at second base, The PhiladelDhia at Chicago contest was postponed because of wet grounds.
