the league in runs batted in with

field position with Harry Walker,
younger brother of Dixie, who hasn't
quite shown the form he displayed
before he entered the Army in 1914.
Dick Sisler and Erv Dusak, an
other Army veteran, will share the
left field assignment. Sisler, a flop
at first base, was converted into an
outfielder and has looked better.
He won several important games
for the Cards with clutch hits.
Dodger Outfield Unsettled.
Brooklyns outfield is in an un-
settled state. In Dixie Walker, the
Dodgers have one of the greatest
of money players. A good fielder,
the veteran has been Brooklyn's
power man all season. The loss OF
Pete Reiser at various times due to
injuries has hurt the Dodgers lot.
Walker, Augie Galan and Carl
Furillo form the Dodger front-line
trio. Furillo has improved tremen-
dously in the last two months and
promises to give anybody a run for
rookie f-the-year honors. Hitting
.285, he shines brightest in the field,
having saved many games with rifle
like throws and great running
catches.
Galan, both an outfielder and in
fielder, is a clutch hitter and fine
fielder. Joe Medwick, making a
comeback, and Dick Whitman, who
Joined the Dodgers after the spring
training period, round out the out

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-While the
United States Olympic Association
is just beginning to lay plans for
American participation in the 194a

preliminary data for staging the
games there.
The association gave its indorse-

must be ruled on by the Interna-

usually makes the site selection two
years in advance of the next games.
Primary purpose Of the associa-

Charles M. (Jeff) Tesreau, pitch
ing contemporary of the late Christy
Mathewson on the New York Giants

58th year.
Tesreau, who had been Dart

Born in Ironton, Mo, on March

How about lending it to me for the

ing to seem like an Indian giver
but I think that bat would come

dinals or the Dodgers.
"Ill tell you what I'd like you tC

can leave the bat in Detroit for me
and 1 can stop off there on the way
to st. Louis and pick it up. If the
Dodgers win. you can send it to me

Il don't know what your schedule

should happen that you have a few
open dates, I'd be delighted if you'd
send me the bat for day or two. I'd
like to swing it few times and get
accustomed to it before the series.

Rated Bust in Spring,
Hank Nearing Homer
Title With ; in Day
By the Associoted Press

DETROIT, Sept. 25.-Hank
Greenberg, 35-year-old Detroit first
baseman, whose critics were ready te
cali him a $65,000 "washout" last
spring because of his failure to hit
in training camp, was trying on the
1916 major league home run crown
'for size" today after smashing three
circuit clouts in one day to hoist his
season total to 41-three ahead OF
his nearest rival, Ted Williams.
While the Tigers we're sweeping
twin bill from the st. Louis
Browns, to 3 and 10 to l, to run
their longest winning streak of the
year to 10 games and sew up second
place in the American League
Greenberg really went on a slugging
binge yesterday, slamming ninth
inning homer off Sam Zoldak to
break up the first game and follow
ing up with two more mighty wal
lops into the upper left field seats
off Ellis Kinder in the nightcap.
Hard after his third American
League home run title in II years
with the Tigers, Hank has clouted 13
four -baggers since September l to
come from far back and overtake
Williams, who had led the league all
season.
I'm getting 'em with my own bat
now," Hank said today, explaining
that after hitting a dozen homers
with a bat that teammates filched
from Williams he broke it last week
batting against Phil Marchildon of
Philadelphia.
Over the 40-mark in four-baggers
for his fourth time in the big
leagues, Greenberg promises to fin-
ish the year with the second best
homer total of his career.
He collected 40 for the first time
in 1887, won the homer title with So
in 1888 and hit Al in 1910.
With five more games to play this
year, Greenberg also has his eyes
on the American Leagues RBI
championship. The five runs he bat
ted in yesterday gave him 121 for
the season, equalling Williams
ieague-leading figure in that depart
ment.
Those aging legs can and probably
will carry Hank through another
season, despite opinions to the con-
trary, as long as the big better from
the Bronx continues to do most of
his base-running In jog rather
than sprint.

Rollins, 6. W. Rival,
Won't Get Justice

George Washington's football
camp is back to normal now that
reports that Charley Justice had
transferred from North Carolina to
Rollins, which happens to be the
Colonials' second opponent, have
been scotched.
Justice, as football fans will re-
member, is the teen-age kid who
rocketed to fame with Joe Maniaci's
Bainbridge Naval Training Station
eleven. He was the hottest package
on the East Coast and a prize sought
by every major school. SO, G. w
fans justif1ably could be perturbed
by reports that he had switched to
Rollins. But the rumors were
groundless. 1t was Charley's brother
who enrolled at Rollins.
Coach Skippy Stanley of G. w. took
the excitement in stride. He's been
working the Colonials throughout
the dirty weather on a heavy field
although the weatherman kindly
turned off the spigots during tht
afternoon drills, and is confident the
team won't be too bad. Joe Buell's
passing makes him think the Colon
ials' aerial offense will produce NOR
points than a pair of hot dice, anc
Dave Sprinkle is coming along
nicely in a similar role.
The G. w. line will be fairly heavy
but the backfield is green and ISM
running as hard as Stanley expects
and demands.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-It makes
no difference who is Boston's World

Sox outfielder trio still will have it
all over their rivals.
Neither the Cardinals nor the
Dodgers can come close to matching

ders above the Red Birds Enos

True, Slaughter has driven in more
runs than Ted and Walker is right
on Williams heels, but the Red Sox
slugger hits that longer ball, and
more often.

Williams hits like flend against
National League pitching. No one is
likely to forget what he did to the
senior circuits best pitchers in last
summers All-Star game. He pound
ed out two home huns and a pair
of singles and drove in 5 runs. He
also brokeup the 1941 All-Star game
at Detroit with a ninth Inning
homer. Di Maggie stands out on
defense.
Boston's third picket post will be di-
vided with veteran Wally Moses and
Leon Culberson getting the first call.
Either Moses or George Metkovich
will play right field when the oppo-
sition uses a right-handed pitcher,
and Culberson or Tom Mcbride will
be in there when a southpaw is on
the mound. Although hitting only
.240, Moses has played big part In
Boston's success and still ranks
among the best in the field.

RaI|yinq Power Late
In Game Is Keeping
Cards Out Front
By Ralph Roden
Associated Press Sports Writer

The ability of the st. Louis Car
dinals to come from behind In
the late innings and then 60 on
to win is one of the primary rea-
sons the Redbirds lead the Brook
lyn Dodgers by full game today
in the torrid National League pen
nant race.
Several times during the present
campaign, the Cards have pulled
seeming defeats out Of the fire in
the waning part of a game. They
did 1t again last night when Rookie
Outfielder Erv Dusak hammered one
OF Southpaw Johnny Wander Meer's
offerings into the left-field bleschers
at st. Louis in the tenth inning
to enable the Cards to down the
Cincinnati Reds, 2-l.
Musial Sets Stage.
Musial set the stage for Dusak's
blow last night by singing in a
run in the ninth to tie the score.
Until then, Wander Nicer had
blanked the Cards. 10, on two
hits.
The Dodgers scheduled game
with the Phillies was postponed be-
cause of rain. The Brooks meet the
Phils in single game today, while
the Cards tangle with the Reds
again under the lights
Brooklyn will play off yesterdays
postponement tomorrow, with a
double header on tap If rain cancels
today's tilt.
Elsewhere in the National League,
the Cubs split double header with
the Pirates, winning the opener,
1873, and dropping the eight-inning
nightcap, 1870.
Three Homers for Greenberg.
In the American League, Hank
Greenberg smashed three home runs
to pace the Detroit Tigers to 4-3 and
10-1 victories over the ST. Louis
Browns. The three circuit belts
boosted Greenberg's output to Al
and enabled the Tiger star to break
deadlock for the lead in this de-
partment with Ted Williams of the
Boston Red Sox, who has 38.
The twin wins also stretched a
Tiger winning streak to 10 games
and clinched second place for the
Bengals as the pennant-winning
Red Sox nosed out the third-place
New York Yankees, 5-4.
A scheduled National League twin
bill between the Braves and the
Giants was postponed because of
rain, while the other American
