President Sam Breadon of the Cards is beginning to appear irritated when Kurowski's name comes up.

FonRiuni, Si. lax grid rivalry NEW YORK. The Fordham Rams, once a gridiron power, and the colorful Gaels of St. will resume Gaels of St. rivalry this fall.

The California eleven will meet the Rams here Oct. 18. Here are two examples. Eddie Dyer uf the Cardinals has over 20 able pitchers in his line-up but for the first two weeks of exhibition play he only had three who were able to work in winning form. The others had sore arms or sore backs and were of little help.

On another occa.sion the Tigers came to St. Petersburg to play the Yankees with their entire outfield too lame and stiff to Wakefield, McCosky and Mullin. Managers who have had from 15 to 20 pitchers on the scene have been scrambling around to find as many as three who were ready to work tliree or four innings. NEVER seen anything like it," Steve the Tiger leader said, ju.st after Hoot Evers, rookie center fielder had broken an ankle. was a time when you had trouble making ball players w'ork hard enough.

Now I have to spend most of my time trying to keep them from overworking. Especially those who have come buck to us from the service.

MAJOR LEAGUE baseball has gone far overboard on its spring and exhibition scheciule.

It has overdone its list of exhibition games in a way that you might call incredibly stupid. Practically every manager and every trainer I have talked to agrees with this line of thought. Take the case of the Yankees best team in baseball today. They have played in the tropic heat of Panama. They have been in Florida for several weeks.

They are ready to open the tomorrow. They could and should head north after leaving Florida. In the number springs been watching baseball, I have never before seen an outfield and an infield as for advanced as the Yankees are now. This goes for hitting, fielding, throwing and running.

Facing the toughest a.ssign- ment of the service trio will be the fast-breaking soldiers of Fort Sheridan, who are paired with the classy San Fran- el.sco Dardis. Seven of the eight members of the American ba.sketball league were in the list.s. The exception was the Sacramento Senators, who fell Tuesday night before Allen-Bradley of Milwaukee, 45-42, Some of the remaining ABL members like the national champion Phillips 66 Oilers and Hollywood 20th-Century Fox come thru, however, without narrow escapes.

BasKolbal RpsuitS'S NEW YORK. Big Bob Kurland, of the NCAA and Missouri Valley champion Oklahoma gies, and not Elmore Morgenthaler, iof New Mexico Mines, apparently is going to win the 1946 national collegiate individual high scoring basketball title. A week ago Morgenthaler, who wound up the season with 595 points, seemed assured of finishing on top, but the weekly Associated Press tabulation Wednesday disclosed that Kurland, with two and possibly three more games to play, needs only 25 points to pass Morgenthaler. Currently Kurland is in third place at 571, but at the terrific clip he has traveled in the last nine games, he appears certain to cross the 600-point mark, thus easily passing Bill Hall, of Marshall, now second at 572, and Morgenthaler.
