TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1934 THE -MICHIGAN D A ILY Tigers Clinch Pennant While Idle As Boston Merena Allows New York Four Hits In 5-0 Win Is N o w Mathematically Impossible For Tigers To Drop Flag Errors, Walks Lose 'Babe' Ruth Plays Final Game In New York As As YankeeRegular NEW YORK, Sept. 24. - (P) - The Detroit Tigers today became cham- pions of the American League. Bucky Harris' Red Sox definitely eliminated the New York Yankees from the running by defeating the team from the Bronx 5 to 0, leaving the Tigers six games in front and making it mathematically impossible for the Yankees to overhaul them be- fore the conclusion of the schedule next Sunday. The standing of the teams after to- day's game is: W L Pet. Detroit ..............97 52 .651 New York ...........91 58 .611 Even if the Tigers lose their re- maining five games and the Yankees win all five of the games that remain on their schedule, the standings then would be : W L Pct, Detroit.............97 57 .630 New York..........96 58 .623 Thus, the man who was deposed as manager of the Tigers in favor of Mickey Cochrane to become pilot of the Red Sox, saw his team hand the championship to the club he piloted for four years. Bucky won the pen- nantt for the Tigers today, while his forme' mates were enjoying a day of rest in Detroit. And Bucky banked on a raw recruit to throw back the Yankees - Johnny Merena, a young southpaw up from the Internatonal League. Merena held the slugging Yankees to four hits, while his mates hit in timely fashion to give him an early lead and he never was in serious danger over the route. Passes and two errors on one play by Rolfe on Merena's sacrifice bunt accounted for two runs without the aid of a hit in the second inning. Babe Ruth, making his last appear- ance of the season in Yankee Sta- dium, took his place in right field but retired after drawing a base on balls in the first inning, when Hoag ran for him. Only about 3,000 fans turned out to see Ruth's farewell and the elimination of the Yankees. The Yankees did not get a hit off Merena until the fourth, which Geh- rig opened with a single past Morgan. Lou reached second when Morgan threw wide to Lary on Selkirk's boun- der, but Lazzeri hit into a double play and Chapman struck out. Jack Blott To Assume New Job At Wesleyan Wesleyan (Conn.) University foot- ball candidates will report for their first practice of the season under the direction of Jack Blott, Wesleyan's new coach from Michigan. Assisting Blott, will be Dale W. Lash, Spring- field College product and Norman H. Daniels, Michigan end star of three years ago. As a nucleus for the Michigan punting and passing game which will be used by the Cardinal and Black this season, Blott is counting heavily on Capt. Paul Eyerly, of Bloomsburg, Pa., a good center on last year's team, and Kemper Burton, a promising kicker from Chestnut Hill, Pa. FRESHMAN RIFLE SHOOT Under the auspices of the Univer- sity R.O.T.C. corps, a rifle shoot for freshmen was held during Orienta- tion Week for the various groups. The individual winner was W. R. Crow, whose score was 95. Second place was won by Goff Smith with a 94, and W. Prall and Kenneth Swain were third and fourth with scores of 93 and 90 respectively.

Champ Will Assist Johnstone With Boxing Classes With the signing of' Martin Levan- dowski as assistant boxing coach, the Intramural department will increase its boxing classes from twice weekly to daily with both Coach Johnstone and Levandowski as tutors. Individual attention by private appointment will be available to all students who have a yen to try their hand at the noble art of self defence and from the ability of these two men some excel- lent results may be expected. Levandowski was National Junior A.A.U. champion in the light heavy- weight division in 1928, annexing the title in Detroit, and the next year fought his way to victory in the Sen- ior A.A.U. tournament at Boston. Later he entered international com- petiton and fought successfully against Canada, Italy and Japan. Following his amateur success, Levan- dowski entered the professional ranks to put himself through school and fought professionally while attending State Normal at Kalamazoo. This year Levandowski is entering the University as a medical student and has accepted the position as as- sistant boxing coach, to aid in financ- ing his schooling. That Coach Levandowski, both be- cause of his amateur record and his professional success, will stimulate in- tramural boxing is the opinion of Di- rector Mitchell, and the daily lessons which are now available for both fac- ulty and students will prove particu- larly popular. Should Michigan ever enter Intercollegiate boxing, this training which Levandowski can give his proteges should prove invaluable in presenting Michigan with another type of championship.

Rainbow Beats Endeavor In Fifth Contest, Challenger Tears Sail At Start; Is Third Straight Win For Americans NEWPORT, R. IL, Sept. 24. -P)- Fighting off a closing rush by the British challenger Endeavour, the America's Cup defender Rainbow to- day scored her third straight victory over the invader in the fifth race of the international yachting series and needs only one more victory to retain the cup. Endeavour was approximately a mile astern as the white-hulled de- fender swept majestically across the finish line. Noth yachs immediately agreed to race tomorrow. The official finish for the 30-mile leeward-windward course was Rain- bow 2:34:05, Endeavour 2:38:06, making the defender's official margin four minutes, one second. This was almost half an hour over the cup record of 3:24:37 set by Vigi- lant in the second race against the British challenger Valkyrie II in 1893 and 11 minutes over the time of En- deavour in the first race a week ago today. Harassed by an unruly spinnaker at the start, which fouled a jib stay and then tore as it was set, T. O. M. Sopwith and his British crew made a game but futile tail chase most of the way, cutting off a minute on the finalt 15-mile windward leg of the five-min-l ute advantage Rainbow had built up1 at the turn.1 The defender's spinnaker also splitt 45 minutes after the start but Harold S. Vanderbilt's crack crew broke outt a new one from below decks and had it set in four minutes, probably a record for sail-handling.f Sopwith never was able to get En-t deavour's Annie Oakley drawing and< had to douse it and set a Genoa jibt for the latter stages of the leewardl leg. It was here that Rainbow builtt up the big advantage she held safelyt on the beat home. The breeze was good during most ofx the race, blowing an estimated 15i knots at the start and the sea smoothed out after being rough att the start.t Except for the first few minutes, when the accidents to both yachts sails caused some excitement, it wast the least interesting of the five races sailed to a decision.t When Vanderbilt rounded the turnt with his five-minute lead, the race was as good as over. Sopwith tacked1 desperately all the way 'home but thet American defender followed Endea-( vour's every move and never allowed) her to get free. During the last half of the leg, En- deavour began to close up the gapt but she never really got close enought to make a contest of it. WILL BERNARD TALK? ROYAL OAK, Mich., Sept. 24. -As a part of a campaign to revive athlet- ics at Royal Oak High School, the alumni have planned a pre-season football banquet honoring the grid- iron squad Wednesday evening. Potsy Clark, coach of the Detroit Lions, will be the principal speaker, while Charles Bernard, star center, and several other members of the Lion Club have promised to be pres- ent. Stars In Pro Debut Small Army Reports For Frosh Football Some 75 aspirants to gridiron fame from the class of '38 strag- gled out of Yost Field House yes- terday afternoon onto old Ferry Field to begin 1934 frefhman foot- ball. About an equal number were refused uniforms for the day be- cause of the crowded conditions in the equipment room. Although the first day's drill consisted of little more than lim- bering up, Coach Ray Fisher is of the opinion that many will re- turn today with sore muscles caused by over anxiety to create a good impression quickly. Fisher indicated that no attempt will be made to single out indi viduals until a week or more of practice, and that prep school reputations will not be noticed until the men have proven them- selves. Card s' Hope Slim In enior ennant Quest Giants Retain Lead Of Two Games With Four Games To Play NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-- Although the Cardinals gained a half game by beating the Cubs today, and cut the lead of the Giants to two full games, Frankie Frisch's team still has a tough row to hoe during the next six days if they are to overhaul the Na- tional League leaders. The Giants have only four games remaining on their schedule, two each with the Phils and Dodgers. If the Giants win all four, the Cards cannot win the pennant by sweeping their six games. So the Giants must lose one of their four games if the Cards are to finish in a tie for the top rung. If both teams win all of their re- maining games, then the final stand- ing would be: Fischer Not To Play In Annual GoIf Tourney Johnny Fischer, Walker Cup team member and three-time Michigan University golf champion, though eligible will not compete in the annual University golf tournament this year, it was announced by Prof. Thomas C.
