DETROIT, May 24.-(1P)-Edgar
Smith's wild pitch in the ninth in-
ning with the bases loaded gave the
Detroit Tigers a 1 to 0 victory over
the Chicago White Sox today. John-
ny Gorsica, who allowed the Sox
seven hits, was at bat when Smith's
costly throw permitted Rudy York
to dash home. Smith was tagged for
nine hits.
averaged one every 30 seconds
last night . . mostly asking about
the Purdue-Michigan baseball game
. . which was quite a battle until
the Boilermaker hurler made the
mistake of pitching to the Wolver-
ines' slugging sophomore, Dick Wake-
field . . . the lanky outfielder lashed
out with a 430 foot drive good for
four runs . . . then came the deluge.
And speaking of phone calls . .
across the street from where these
pearls of literature are being strung
together is a place called Helen
Newberry . . a couple nights
ago some young lady called up and
said The Daily lads were making
too much noise, and would they
please stop so she could study . . .
last night we could have returned
the suggestion, for the Newberry
lasses had some dance band blaring
for hours.
O UR PIPELINE to California final-
ly got unclogged yesterday . - -
track Coach Tien Doherty wired that
his six man squad had a great tripI
out in their silvery airliner . . no
winds, no air pockets, no second hand
meals," Ken reported . . . the cinder
mentor was a little concerned before
the meet about the blazing hot Cali-
fornia weather . . . but it evidently
didn't bother the spikemen, for they
hung up two new Michigan Varsity
records . . . Ken called the gigantic
carnival the "highest class meet since
the Olympics" . . . and heaped lavish
praise on the two relay quartets.
Residence Hall supremacy between
the staff softball team and Williams
House, student league champion, will
be determined in a two out of three
game series . . . first clash will be
at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow at Ferry Field
. . a challenge was extended by
the staff outfit which boasts variety
of performers, including professors
and staff assistants alike . . . on the
roster are such crack softball artists
as Karl Litzenberg, J. E. Kallenbach,
Bill Riordan, Bill Wreford, Jim Rob-
ertson, Charles Peake and Kooman
Boycheff.
FREDDY TROSKO, the speedy
halfback who scored the final
thrilling touchdown against Ohio
State in the last 40 seconds in 1939,
is giving up his position as athletic
director at Hudson high school ...
Freddy expects to be drawing his
$21 a month from Uncle Sam in
June.
Irving Slifkin writes in to register
a corplaint against the major league
selections A. P. Blaustein presented
here last week . . . he thinks A. P. is
prejudiced . . . he is right . . . but
then Irv says the New York Giants
will finish a "close second" behind
the Cardinals in the National League
. . if they do, we'll be willing to
eat Bill Terry . . . who probably isn't
a very palatable dish.

the game, came to life with such vigor
that two Purdue hurlers were chased
from the box. When it ended, Mich-
igan had assured itself of at least a
tie for the Big Ten baseball crown.
The Big Seventh
In the big seventh Michigan pushed
across six runs on four hits and three
Purdue errors which were enough to
win their eighth Conference victory.
Things started out rather smoothly
in that frame when George Harms
popped out to the shortstop for the
first out. Then Johnny Emmert, Pur-
due pitcher, became wild and walked
Mase Gould. With the little left hand-
er on first, Dave Nelson laid down a
bunt; but when the catcher, trying
to throw Nelson out at first, hit him
in the back with the ball, all hands
were safe.Whitey Holman came up
at this point and got his second hit
of the day to score Gould from sec-
and with the tying run.
The game was held up while Em-
inert was lifted from the mound and
replaced by Bill Leifheit, who tried to
halt the Wolverine rally. But the
Michigan batters took to Bill's pitch-
ing like ducks take to water, and
after the smoke had cleared away
and the inning was over, 12 Michigan
players had batted and six runs were
across the plate.
Wakfield Again
In the eighth inning, Davey Nelson
hit a long double to center field,
Holman walked and Christenson
dropped a single in short left field
to fill the bases.
With Wakefield coming up to bat,
the Purdue infield gathered around
their pitcher to give him some ad-
vice, but the consultation proved to
be a flop because he smacked the

first pitch for a home run and gave
the Wolverines four more runs.
Two singles and a walk in the ninth
gave Michigan their last run.

revenge for his heart-breaking loss
to Campbell Kane of Indiana in last
week's Big Ten half-mile race. Spot-
ting the lanky Hoosier 12 yards, going
into the last lap, Breidenbach caught
Kano napping 25 steps from the tape
and flashed into second place to fin-
ish 25 yards behind California's Clar-'
ence Barnes,
It was Ufer again in the mile-relay
who gave Michigan an early lead, fin-
ishing his leg about seven feet in
front of Bill Smith of USC. Michigan's
second man, Jack Leutritz, couldn't
hold the lead, however, losing it by a
step.
Running his sensational 46.8 quar-
ter on the third leg, Breidenbach
staged a thrilling duel with Trojan
Cliff Bourland, and forged to the
front by almost 10 feet when Bour-
land got mixed up in the lanes.
But the Wolverine anchor man, Al
Thomas, was no match for the Tro- r
jans' Hubert Kerns, who ran the last
lap in the terrific time of 46.7 seconds
and broke the tape with a narrow
lead. The Southern California team
might have set a new world mark in
this event, if Bourland had not got
mixed up in his lanes.1
Another world record fell by the
wayside as Les Steers, spectacular
high-jumper from the University of
Oregon, went over the bar at a
height of 6 ft., 10 7/8 inches.

Dick Wakefield led the Wolver-
ines to victory yesterday with a
home run to deep centerfield in the
seventh inning. Wakefield's homer
cleared the bags to score four runs.
He also got two singles and stole a
base, to give him an almost perfect
day.

their match, and the Maize and Blue
duo had a 5-2 advantage in the first
set.
At this point the Spartans players
started to rally and cut the score to
5-4 in favor of Michigan. But the
consistent rushing to the net by Stille
and Schaflander was too much for
their opponents, and the Wolverine
players took the first set, 6-4.
The score was 5-2, Michigan leading
and match point in the second set
when the Spartans started to rally
again. But it was all for naught when
Schaflander put away a beautiful
shot down the center of the court af-
ter the State lads had staved off
defeat four times. The score of the
final set was 6-2.
Little Alden Johnson made it eight
consecutive victories by lobbing the
Spartan's fifth singles player, Floyd
Krause, in to submission, 7-5, 1-6, 6-2,
and Schaflander, after being on the
verge of defeat, rallied to beat Irv
Roberts, 3-6, 8-6, 6-2, in the last
singles match.
IHammett Loses
Fred Perkins, State's captain and
number two man, just seemed to be
at the right spot at the right time
and easily defeated Lawton Ham-
mett, 6-0, 6-3. Stille put up a terrific
battle before he succumbed to the
play of Maxwell, the Spartan am-
bidextrous third singles player, 6-3,
3-6, 7-5; and Tom Gamon, playing
in the fourth singles position, lost
in straight sets to Beeman, 7-5, 6-2.
In the first doubles match, which
was featured by the excellent net play
of Tobin and Hammett, the Wolver-
ines downed Drilling and Roberts in
easy fashion, 6-2, 6-1.
The last doubles match of the day
found Gamon and Howie Bacon los-
ing to Perkins and Bob Harris in
straight sets, 6-1, 6-4.
Tomorrow the Wolverine netters
travel to Kalamazoo to help the rac-
queteers from Kalamazoo College ded-
irate their new tennis stadium. This
is the l st match the Weirmen have
before t'hc Conference matches May
29, 30, and 31 in Chicago.
