The St. Louis clouter is hitting only a .403 pace today, 'a drop of seven points from his pace-setting mark a week ago.

Despite his slump, Musial continues to enjoy a commanding margin in the batting derby. Rookie Richie Ashburn of Philadelphia Phillies is his nearest rival with a .350 mark including games of Sunday. Right behind Ashburn is Andy Pafko of Chicago Cubs who is moving at a .342 gait. Four members of the leaeue-leadine Boston Braves are next. Recruit Alvin Dark is fourth at .333, Tommy Holmes fifth at 330, Ed Stanky, out with a broken ankle, sixth at .320 and Jeff Heath seventh at ,316.

Musial continues to lead the field in hits and runs. He has collected 120 base knocks and tallied 66 runs. In addition he is tied with Cincinnati's Hank Saucr for runs-batted-in leadership at 64 apiece. Sauer leads the circuit in four-badgers, having belted 24 to 23 for runner-up Ralph Kiner of Pittsburgh. Johnny Hopp of the Pirates leads in triples with 10 and Jackie Robinson of Brooklyn and Del Ennis of Philadelphia have socked the most doubles, 20.

As caretaker of K' iy Park from the time it ope. until re- cently, Joe got in on the ground floor.

He has feen fastball, starting as an offshoot of baseball, mushroom into a popular sport that in Edmonton involves about fifty or ganized teams of all ages and both sexes. Running Mate Only slightly less familiar than Joe to Kingsway inmates was his dog Rex. Until his demise in Junt, the big police hound was the unofficial watchman of the park. He was kept securely tied during games to save wear and tear on spectators' trousers, and released after closing time to repel marauders. From 1941 until June of this year, Rex patrolled the grounds every night of the ball season.

Then one day, someone let him out: Unfamiliar witli tratf ic, the big dog fell prey to a truck. A lot of good players have passed through the Kingsway portals in eight years, recording to Joe. And not one better than son J-m. Now thirty-odd, Jim was brought up in the fastball tradition and found himself quite at, home on the diamond from an early age.

There were plenty afraid to catch when Helen burned them across the plate Boy, oh boy!"

Chandler, major league players Monday moved to take into their own hands the problem of major leaguers refusing to appear in the all-star game. "I am very much concerned and in his death on Sunday the gridiron was thrown for a loss, the thoroughbreds were caught in the switches, puck breakaway was called Dack and the diamond took a strikeout with the bases loaded. "For 18 years Dave Dryburgh carried out assignments with the speed, understanding and fearlessness that made him a sports authority that will be hard to replace His sports writing will be missed by all." Tom Moore, of the Calgary Al-bertan said Dave Dryburgh's death will be felt far beyond the Pegina area where he was best known. "Recognized by the boys who wrote with him and against him as the best informed football writer on the prairies, Dryburgh was often outspoken in his criticism butVould still count as friends most of the other writers and sportsmen with whom he had crossed verbal swords. "He worked far beyond the demands of his job in supporting athletic development in Regina and in so doing helped In no small way to build up sport in the entire west.

"In his death, Regina and Western Canada has lost a real sports leader." Jim Coleman, Toronto Globe and Mail, wrote the following tribute in his column to Dryburgh. "Dave Dryburgh was one of the best young newspaper men in Can- ada- "The neat sports page which he produced in his paper was worthy of a city 10 times the size of Regina. In his own column, thei were times when he assumed the role of a professional "sour-puss" but this journalistic pose was strongly at variance with his natural disposition. "He knew his audience and, deliberately, he would provoke intcr-city and players to take seriously the all-star game, Chandler said after a meeting of the executive council. "We have had some straight talk," he added, "I assume that, in the future, every player who is voted on the all-star team will show up.

We have no plan to punish anybody, but we will take whatever steps are necessary." Chandler's statement followed publication of a letter from the Cincinnati players to their National League player representative, Dixie AValker, urging penalties against unwilling athletes. After pointing out the obligation of the players to appear in the game, which is playtd for the benefit of their own pension fund, the Reds wrote in part: "Only injury, serious enough keep a player out of his own team's line-up, will be reason enough to be excused. A penalty, in some form, against a player who refuses to participate, after having been selected' (by the fans) has been suggested."
