Distribution
 OfBost0n Series Tickets
By TOM NOONAN United Press Sports WEategJ

 Boston, Sept. il - (UP) - IT ycu applied to the Red sox yesterday fog world series tickets, the chances ere about 32-1 against your getting them, a survey showed today.
 A corps of 75 harried enployes qs Fenway Park worked tfrOuShOWs the night with all sorts of modern mail-openeing devices in fIIttle at- tempt to check the avalanche of ap~ plications. But they still poured iza -500,000 strong.
 Based on that number of appli- cations-a half million-and con- sidering that the baseball parks official seating capacity for the Bos- ton end of the series is 34y000, 1t was estimated unof1cially that thereW be only about 10000 tickets avatl- able for each game to i'll the Hes requests.
 Here's How
 Here's an unofficial guess e to @hs ticket distribution:
 34, ,600-Number of seats in Fun way Park
 S,ooO-Bleacher seats, parchas able on rush basis.
 5,0O0-Seats allotted Red Sox ops posing team.
 4,O00-Seats allotted 300 baseha8 writers, (probably 10 each).
 2,000-Box seats for season tiokOe holders and others.
 2,OOo-seats allotted sox squad (about 50 each).
 2,000-Seats allotted legislabor1, politicians, clergy, etc.
 1,00O-Seats allotted radio hroa6e casters, radio writers, etc.
 1,000-Seats allotted onicials q Red Sox club.
 25,O0o-Total seats accounted fort
 $500 seats available for the filling of applications.
 Since every application Is for two tickets, fewer than 5000 applica- tions for each game could be filled on the basis of these figures.
 That would mean that 15, 900 ap~ plications could be filled for the three games scheduled here early in October.
 Of course if you live outside New England you have no chance at an since tickets are being restricted to those persons living within the Mx- state area. If you want to take real chance and come to Boston in h9pe of buy ing from speculator 1t may cost you as much as $50 for Q pair. perhaps more.
 Trading with the specs" will be dangerous since they won't nave many. AS a matter of fact several Bostonians purchased world series tickets" yesterday for $l0 6 pair from a furtive gentleman. Later their delirious joy was squelched by police who said the seller was & thief since the real world series tickets haven't arrived from the Philadelphia printer.

Ferriss Hopes CIinch FIoq
BY JOSEPH NOLAN United Press Sports Writer

Boston, Sept. 11-(UP)-The Bos- ton Red Sox, consoled that their rooters have been too busy fighting for World Series tickets to fret over their four-game losing streak, called on mound ace Dave Ferriss today to apply the pennant "clincher" to the Detroit Tigers.
 Bidding for win No. 9, Ferriss will be opposed by the Tigers hard luck" hurler, Paul (Dizzy) Trout whose record is IA and 12.
 The gala celebration is set if only Delta Dave can turn in a victory. Southpaw Mickey Harris couldn't make 1t yesterday in Detroit, losing to 1.
 Harris ran into trouble in the very first inning when outfielder Dick Wakefield of the Tigers blasted a tremendous 415-foot home run with two men aboard. Detroit nicked the lefthander for single run in the fourth, picked up another from re- liefman Earl Johnson in the fifth, and went to town for four more against Clem Dreisewerd and Mace Brown before the massacre ended.
 Boston's lone marker came in the sixth on Ted Williams 36th four bagger of the season.
 Fans Boo"
 The Sox were booed by the part isan crowd when they loaded the bases in the first and eight inning and failed to score. In the first, they lost their chance when Bobby Doerr and Rudy York famed. Dom Di- Maggie with three hits was the only Red Sox player able to solve the slantS of Freddie Hutchinson who scattered seven Boston hits.
 Meanwhile, the Braves looked more like the team that was getting ready to play in World Series. Be- hind righthander Johnny Sain, they lambasted 13 hits for 10 to 2 de- cision over the Chicago Cubs whom they are battling for third place in the National League.

Chapman Signs Neuv 2-Year Contract

Philadelphia, Sept. II - CUP) - Ben Chapman, soft-spoken Ala baman who led the Philadelphia Philhes froR their perennial last place position this year, today was signed to two year contract by the PhilS.
 General Manager Herb Pennock said Chapman had agreed to undis- closed terms for the 1947 and 1948 seasons.
 The Phillies, whose only National League pennant was won in 1915 and who had been annual dwellers of last place in the league, are in sixth place of the National League.
 In 1943, they finished seventh, but the next two years saw them in the familiar eighth place.
 They rose to sixth place on their first western trip this season, and have not been in the cellar since early June. Currently they are two full games ahead of the seventh place New York Giants.

Springfield, N. J., Sept. Il - (UP) According to Webster there are three kinds of muscles - striated, nostriated and cardiac - but the man on whom they blame all the great orators spelling forgot two species.
 They are Skee (Big Muscles) Rie- gel and Frank (Medium Muscles) Stranahan.
 The latter, son of a Toledo mil lionaire, is as you probably have read, a great exponent of the cul- ture of leg-of f-chicken tissue. Stran- ahan since the days of his child hood has hoisted overstuffed lead weights in the hopes of becoming the modern sandow of the links.

 Say, Skee,' quoth Stranahan on the 18th green yesterday as Riegel racked up his all-time scoring rec ord to take the amateur medal with 69-67-136, "how did you get those arms and wrists?"

 Riegel grinned again.
 The answer is that Skee-who ad- mits baShfully and very reluctantly that his name is "Robert"- is a tumbler and physical culturist. The dapper and imperturbable iron artist billed from Glendale, Cal, but currently residing in Philadelphia, doesn't indulge in the promises of the primrose path and exercises re- ligiously every day.
 His speciality is handstands, which makes him appear to be upside down.
 But Stranahan, the dumb bell guy, believes by the bulge of bicep that maybe Riegel is right and the rest of the world is wrong.

New York, May 29-(UP)-If Lennart Strand can run like he can play the piano the four-minute mile is a dead duck.
 The latest Swedish running tm- portation started warming up today for his American track debut with Q Paavo Nurmi-Harry James, Mil- ton Berle performance which laid 'em in the aisles.
 Unabashed by Q horde of inter- viewing sportswriters, the 24-year- old fugitive from Q rowboat ap- preached the piano with Q jaunty walk that came close to being a swagger. They didn't laugh when this guy sat down to play. Instead they stared in amazement as he tickled the worries to bring out Q hot version of "The Atchison, To- peka and the Santa Fe."
 Whats that?" an amazed Swed- ish companion asked.
 "Oh, somesing about San Fran cisco" Strand said.
 That's when they laughed.
 1es HIS DraWl
 But San Francisco or Santa Fe, Strand had them in the palm of his hand. It must have been that Scandinavian drawl, Lennart being from the south of Sweden, suh.
 A professed jitterbug and admir- CT of American bands, Strand, the runner could think of only one American rival-Leslie MacMitchell. But he knew the name of every American band leader of note and gave off with their theme songs.
 'The piano playing just picked up, like I did with the accordion, banjo, violin, mandolin and few other instruments" the thin young ster with the long blond hair re- marked. Just like I picked up the English on my one-day stopover in London.
 "JitterbugP Oh sure, I like that, too"
 Many in Line Already
 Somebody wanted to know next what his home address was, 1t be- ing an apartment house even if 1t was in Sweden.
 "Too late" Strand laughed. There's a long waiting list there already"
 Only five feet, eight inches and l32 pounds. Strand is misguided oarsman. His four-man rowing rowing team won the south Swed- ish championship just before he started his NEequired hitch in the Army. When he came home they had replaced him, and so, for lack of something better to do, Strand turned to foot racing, just three years ago.

Tech Vs. Crosby Tomorrow P.M.
By VIM MALONEY

A large turnout is expected at the annual Leavenworth- Crosby base ball tilt, which is scheduled. at the Municipal Stadium tomorrow after noon ae 2:30. Leavenworth by virtue of a II to g decision over the Man herzmen earlier this season, is in the lead for the mythical city base- bal championship. This contest will be perhaps the toughest of the In- tra- City contests for the simple req son that Crosby will be out to avenge the first defeat and Leav- enworth will be out to make 1t two in row over their chief rival
 This contest may be a pitchers duel between either Randy Duph- they or Russ Hansen of Crosby or Dante Abbondolo or Al Leach of Leavenworth or better still 1t may turnout to be another field day for the sluggers of both clubs. as 1t was in the first game. If the latter rea- soning is the case, Leavenworth's Jim Piersall, Bart Daly, Dickie Howard, Dickie Daddona, and Joe Aufiero will pit themselYs against tn hevy bats of Crosby's Bernie Lawlor, Gene Gilhooly, Joe Steck and Capt. Win Petteway. the out come should be very interesting. Tech should be favored on the basis of their first victory but Crosby once again loms as the favorite be- cause of their consistent perform ances. If Leavenworth's power hit- ters have their\ day anything can and will happen, while if the Cros- by moundsmen are hot this will be a nip and tuck contest. Both Coaches Bill Tracy and Jack Man. herz were optimistic about their chances of victory.
