Prior to the war, the Norfolk anc

booked up far in advance. The COM
pany has announced no prospects
OF adding another ship to the run In
the immediate future, and prospec-

advised to reserve stateroom and
cargo space two or three weeks

be granted, and in a pinch the pas
senger can sail without sleeping
accommodations.

ule calls for departures at $50 pm
every other day, sailing from Wash

This is the time of the year when

but don't tell the tourists.)
1.-THE locals are out to enjoy the

National League-leading tempo and
sparkling the pennant drive of the
st, Louis Cardinals.
Converted Outfelder Musial yes
terday poured more gasoline on his
blazing batting streak with three
singles and a double in four trips
as the Cards whipped the Chicago
CUBS, SO, to keep within a half
game of the first-place Brooklyn
Dodgers.
Modest Stan, who has collected II
hits in his last IA trips, now has
a .375 average and also leads the
league in hits with 158, runs scored,
IS; doubles, 80, and triples, 13.
Manager Eddie Dyer of the
steamed-up Cards admitted he ex-
posed himself to wide criticism when
he switched Musial from the out
field to first base two months ago
and that the experiment we'll might
have collapsed the Cards flag
chances.
Move Improved Infield.
But Dyer, even in spring train
ing, had planned the change which
he said was really the reason he
okayed the sale of First Baseman
Ray Sanders to the Boston Braves,
leaving the Cards with only Rookie
Dick Sisler at the position
Il knew that Musial had all the
physical requirements of good
first baseman," explained Eddie,
"but it all depended upon whether
he wanted to risk his batting Prov
ess in an unfamiliar position. Stan
was all for it and when Sisler had
to be replaced he took over at first

Musial is really timber and agile,

you can throw at without worrying
about accuracy. AS a result, our

Musial himself, is almost as con-
tented over his first base job as his
red-hot hitting. II guess I'm doing
all right there. I handled 20 chances
yesterday which is about as busy
as you can get at first base" he

Lew Worsham played golf at

HoIdout, Shows Fire and Dash
BY Lewis F. Atchison

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 13.-Al-
though disappointed at his failure
to coax another spoonful of sugar
out of the Redskins, Steve Bagarus
shrugged it off today and said he
wouldn't sulk about it but would
give the club the best he had.
And he's backing 1t up with a show
OF fire and dash that is Shaming
some Of the rockies. Steve reported
Tor yesterdays matinee, ending
holdout of less than "a hours.
The Redskins had Mr.. Hips over
the barrel, but Coach Turk Edwards
used fine bit of diplomacy to lure
the one-time Notre Dame halfback
back into the WigWam. Turk needed
less than half hour to persuade
Steve it would be better to play
for the Redskins at $4,000 a sem
ester than to remain out of football
for the duration of his two-year
contract.
Edwards said all along that Steve
would report and that he could
handle the situation, but there were
some doubling Thomases who
thought Steve might take it on
the lam. Bagarus gets no bonus
for signing, but it is expected that
his $1,000 debt to the club-money
advanced him while he was in the
Army-will be written off the books
II he has good year.
Good Offer From Dons.
Before his conference with the
coach Bagarus told this correspon-
dent the Los Angeles Dons had
offered him five times as much
as the Redskins" on a tWo-year
contract. He said he wanted a raise
or his release. but Edwards evi-
dently persuaded him he was only
joking.
Bagaraus also had heart-to-
heart talk with End Coach Wayne
Miner, which helped straighten out
his thinking. Steve blamed some
jerk" for persuading him to air his
troubles in Los Angeles newspaper,
which was the first inkling the club
had of his dissatisfaction. During
the offseason Steve worked at the
Tower Bowl, a San Diego bowling
alley, where employment is steady
but unspectacular
Edwards fatty rejected Bagaraus'
plea for more money, pointed out
that to give in to the player would
ruin the cubs morale
Every player on the squad would
want more dough if Steve got a
raise" he said, and you couldn't
blame them. We try to take care
of all the boys as we'll as we can

they think they're worth lot more

Masterson's S Setbacks
Fail 10 Sour Grif;
Yank Opener Off
By Burton Howkins
Stor Staf CORRESPONDENT

NEW YORK, Aug. 13-One of
the items Clark Griffith refuses to
fret about in connection with the
future of Washingtons baseball
club is his pitching, but battling
the Mats boss is Walter Masterson,
whose effectiveness has disappeared.
Griffith still regards Masterson as
a promising pitcher, but he was
saying the same thing seven years
ago.
Il don't know whether it's con-
ceit or what it is," Griffith was
saying several days ago. Il know
that when he beat Bob Feller last
fall after getting out of the serv-
ice it pulled Walter up quite a bit
and didn't do him any good. ]
think the kicking around he has
been taking this season might de-
fate his ego and make him smarter
but it's hard to tell"
Masterson's collapse has been
costly to the Mats, but in regard to
the future it is likely to be more
costly to Masterson, for the Mats
can get along without him. AS
the nucleus of a mound staff fol
1947 they have Bobo Newsom
Roger Wolff, Mickey Haefner, Early
Wynn, Sid Hudson, Ray Scar
borough, Dutch Leonard and Milo
Candini.
Good Slab Nucleus at Hand.
Newsom, Wolff, Haefner, Wynn
Hudson and Leonard have proved
they are capable of winning II OF
more games in a good year, while
Scarborough and Candini have dis
played streaks of effectiveness ano
may improve considerably with
more experience. Given modest
batting support, any of those pitch
ers is capable of presenting the
Mats with numerous victories.
| 1t was Griffith's fond hope that
Masterson's name would be on that
list by this time, but with the ex-
ception of two relief performances
at Cleveland, Walter has been
f1oundering for nearly two months
and displays no sign of swapping
out of 1T.
Excluding five innings of relief
work against the Indians, Master
son has had terrible time of it
since June 20. In % innings he
has been belted for 38 runs, 38 hits
and has issued 27 bases on balls
and his appearance on the mound
now is an indication that Manager
Ossie Bluege has tossed in the
towel for the game.
Masterson Estimates Poorly.
Last spring, Masterson was say
ing he was "at least 100 per cent
improved" over the rookie who re-
ported to the Mats in 1899, but he
has failed to justify that self-ap-
praisal. He has lapsed into a wild
streak that seemingly has no ending.
1t is from the pitching department
that Griffith will pluck bait for
trades during the winter months.
The left side of his infleld requires
mending and the patchwork will
be obtained by slicing his pitching
staff.
Haefner's quest of his 18th victory
of the year has been deferred until
tomorrow night with the calling off
of today's game on account of rain.
The postponement will be played
off as part of double header
Thursday.
