MusiaI Sets nj Record
For SIugging, Stanky
Still Leagues Pest
BY the>Assoeiaied Press

NEW YORK. Dec. 22-The st.
Louis Cardinals failed to finish in
the first division for the first time
in IL years last season but through
NO fault of Stanley Musial.
The Redbird outfielder, gen.
orally rated the National Leagues
No. l performer, not only paced
all players in slugging statistics
last season. but also set a new
league record with his perform
lance.
The four time batting cham
pion mauled opposing pitchers for
a $50 slugging mark to boost his
nine-year major league figure to
mighty $50. This betters the
previous lifetime record of SIT
held jointly by Rogers Hornsby
and Johnny Mize.
Stanky Draws 144 Walks.
Musial pounded out 331 total
bases in 146 games, including Al
doubles, 7 triples and % home
runs. He scored los runs and
batted in 100. Stan also drew 81
bases on balls and struck out only
36 times.
The official statistical figures, re-
leased yesterday, also showed why
Eddie Stanky of the New York
Giants ranked second in the most
valuable player poll last month.
The fiery little second baseman
reached base more often than any
other National Lacquer last sea-
son. In addition to his 158 hits,
Stanky coaXed 144 walks, was
hit by pitched ball IL times
and was safe on errors four
times. That put him on base
318 times in 152 games. Stanky
wound up with batting average
of 800. It is the first time he
reached that figure in the majors,
playing in 100 or more games.
Stanky's walks and hit by pitched
balls were high marks.
SmalIey Fans ia Times.
Other loop leaders in slugging
statistics included:
Most total bases-Duke Snider,
Brooklyn, 343.
Most strikeouts-Roy Smalley,
Chicago Cubs, ia.
Most times grounded into dou-
BILE plays-Del Ennis, Philadel-
phia, 25.
One team and two league rec
ordS were set. The Cubs, by
striking out 767 times, bettered
their old mark of TOT, set in 1887.
Cincinnati famed the fewest
times. 497.
A total of 5,007 strikeouts was
racked up by the league, supplant-
ing the old mark of 1929 in 1916.
The 4,537 bases on balls also
bettered the old figure of 4,476
made in 1947.

.Schoo|boy Federation
To Seek Compromise
with Pro Baseball
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO. Dec. 22.-Undis-
mayed by professional baseballs
rejection of the hands off prep
player rule, the National Fedora
ton of State High School Athletic
Associations plans to soften the
rule for a possible compromise.
The rule. which expires after
1851, was disapproved at the re-
cent minor-major meetings in St.
Petersburg, Fla.
If strictly followed, it forbids a
scout from even tipping his hat to
a talented high school baseballer
until he graduates.
The National Federation, at it's
annual meeting in Mobile, Ala,
December 27-30, may modify the
agreement to permit negotiations
with a prep star at any time with
the stipulation he doesn't join
professional ranks before he
| graduates.
AS the rule now stands, an en-
terprising scout who may be the
first to spot the possibilities of a
prep lad has to wait before sign
ing him until the boy has diplo-
ma clutched in his hand. BY
that time the word usually has
gotten around, and the line of
scouts forms to the right at the
boys doorstep.
And there was circumvention
some baseball men insist, in such
maneuver as landed Pitcher
Paul Petit for the Pittsburgh
Pirates. Petit had been signed
before graduation by a Hollywood
agent for talent other than base
ball playing. The Pirates did busi-
ness with the agent and landed
Petit.

Rumors of war have put all

all hoboes to keep off the road.
The Union is also asking

I have been reading some in
teresting facts about butterflies
that I don't believe the average
person knows about.
Some butterflies, especially
those in the SWallowtaiI group,
emit a very fragrant odor when
things are going well with
them. However, when an enemy
| appears, this odor makes a
sudden change-they use the
same method of defense that
the skunk uses.
Almost all butterflies have
their sense of taste located in
their feet. Many kinds of but
terflies are migrant. They fly
south in the Fall and north
in the Spring, over deserts and
large bodies of water Just as
migrating birds do. Some of
them gather in flocks before
starting their journey.

Since England has had state

been a marked rise in the
