Here is the latest info on tht dividend check you'll get sometime after the New Year.
 The VA is now computing ths amount of money to be paid each veteran who took out some Ma tional Service Life Insurance ano held it for three months or longer that is, paid premiums on it fol at least that length of time.
 Some of you will get hundreds of dollars Some will get only a few cents. The average should be about SITS, a figure easily arrived at by dividing the total amount in- volved, S2,800,O00,000 by the num- Der of recipients, about 16,00O,000
 But the most likely payment may te less than SITS. In other words lot more veterans may get less than SITS than more, in which case the ones who get more woulc get a lot more, bring up the aver age to Sl75.
 It's like this: You have $10C which you distribute among foui people Three get $1 each, the fourth gets $97 The average amout is $25, but the most likely amount is $1.
 Why bother to explain all this? Because you'd be less than human if you didn't start counting youi dividend chickens before they hatch. Don't figure that because you are an average veteran you will get the average amount. It may be far less.
 How much depends on just three things:
 ! l. Your age when you bought your NSLI.
 2. The amount you took out.
 3. The number of months vol kept it in force.
 Don't think because you con- verted your term insurance to 20 pay life, or another permanen form, you will get a larger divi. dend than your next door neigh bor. who never has converted. Yo, won't.

College Football Players MassdUed by Score
 of 38 10 0

CHICAGO, Aug 13-R - The most inept and bewildered All-Star group in the 16-year history of the football series was buried 38-0 by the Philadelphia Eagles last night.
 The National League champions, feeding A players into the scramble in an effort to keep down the score, couldn't help but roll up the most decisive edge since the games were inaugurated in 1884. Forty eight All-Stars were used out of a stockpile of 65.
 A throng of 93,780 fans witnessed the massacre in Soldier Field.
 Only three fine goal-line stands and other bits of defensive sparkle stood in the All-Stars' favor.

 Iywood Stars
(By the Associated Press)

Slowly but surely the Sacra- mento Solons are closing the gar on the front running Hollywood Stars in the Pacific Coast League.
 The Stars are now only Az games ahead. That's the closest any pursuer has been since May 28. If this keeps up the experts any day now will be asking that potent question of whether the Stars have it" for the stretch run.
 Sacramento edged up there last night by beating the Los Angeles Angels for the fifth straight time this week, 5-2
 Hollywood, meantime, seemed to have the Portland Beavers under control, 5-2, going into the eighth inning. Then Portland kicked out the props with a six-run outburst that gave them the contest, 8-5. Hollywood still leads the series, 3-1.
 Seattle stopped Oakland's win ming ways, 5-3, by using pinch hitters. Frank Colman's pinch single scored two in the sixth for Seattle to tie it and Al Lyons pinch double in the seventh gave the Rainiers the margin. The loss left Oakland six games behind the leaders.
 In San Francisco the Seals came from behind twice to double-whack the San Diego Padres, 10-4 and 4-3.

DODGERS, INDIANS
 DROPPED
Cardinals and Red Sox Pass Opponents in
 League Races
By JOE REICHLER AP Sports Writer

The National League pennant race may be decided in President Ford Tricks office.
 Prick will be asked to rule on g protest by Manager Burt Shotton of Brooklyn of the Dodgers 53 defeat at the hands of the Boston Braves last night.
 The loss, together with St. Louis 8-2 triumph over Pittsburgh dumped the Dodgers into second place, a half game back of the Cardinals.
 Shotton based his protest over g decision on Duke Sniders eighth inning triple with one out. The Brooklyn outfielders drive, which according to umpire Art Gore hit the three-foot screen atop the centerfield wall, bounded back on the playing field.
 Gore first ruled it a homer, then reversed himself. Snider, running at full tilt, saw Gore signal a homer and slowed up as he came into third. He trotted home without a play being made on him.
 CHANGED RULING The Braves, led by Manager Billy Southworth, stormed on the field, protesting the call. After con- ference among the four umpires, Snider was sent back to third.
 Gore said he thought balls hitting the screen telow the railing were home runs. He said he later realized his error and waved Snider back to third Under the ground rule such ball is in play.
 slowed up Snider on the bases, and that he might have completed the circuit even with play on him. The score was 5-3 at the time. After going back to third Snider did not score, as the next two bat ters popped out.

 Verry Staley, Stan Mus.al and Joe Garagiola combined their talents to life the Cards into first place Staley stopped the Pittsburgh Pi- rates with six hits while Musial and Garagiola pounde ed three-run homers to give the Redbirds an 8-2 triumph.
 RED SOX MOVE TO SECOND

The Indians dropped a. 6-5 verdict to the Chicago White Sox, while the Yankees wallopeo the Philadelphia Athletics, 7-3
 Virgil Trucks permitted the St Louis Browns only two hits in pitching the Detroit Tigers to a Al triumph. It was his 14th against eight losses.
