Sport Flashes Via AP.. Indians-Bucs INDIANAPOLIS, April 7. -(IP)- Harry Edwards' Homer over the right field wall in the last haf of the ninth gave the Cleveland Indians a 4-3 vic- tory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in an exhibition game here today. It was their first victory in three games with the Buccaneers. Hank Gornicki blanked the Indians for five frames, but Harry Shuman lasted only one round when three American League blows tied up the score. Jack Hallett finished and yielded two hits, including the round- tripper which beat him. Lou Boudreau who got two singles, was the only player to get more than one safety. * * * Cubs-Chisox* FRENCH LICK, Ind., April 7-(P)- Manager Jimmy Wilson of the Chi- cago Cubs said before today's exhibi- tion that the game was being played for the Red Cross but as things turned it out It looked like the Chi- cago White Sox were playing for the White Sox as they smacked three Bruin pitchers for 16 hits and a 13-2 decision. The American Leaguers thus took the rubber game of the informal three-contest training camp series with their home-town rivals. Rookie Frank Kalin, late of Holly- wood, connected for the circuit with two on board in the fifth in a seven- run uprising that routed the Cubs' young Eddie Hanvzewski. Derringer and Bithorn were 'the other mound victims. Season Over; Swimmers, Look Ahead With the completion of the Na- tional AAU championships last week-end the 1943 Michigan swim- ming team and its accomplishments officially became history. The team's accomplishments were numerous. It won all four of its dual meets, including two victories over Ohio State, the team which was to snatch by a narrow margin the Big Ten title from Michigan hands for the first time since 1938 and which also won the NCAA and AAU crowns with the help of its freshman colos- sus, Bill Smith. However, in no meet was Coach Mann's crew out of the spotlight. Along the course of the season team members, led by brilliant backstroker Harry Holiday,kcracked Big Ten and American marks in thf- medley re- lay, constantly bettered other as- sorted records unofficially, while Holiday established Conference, an Intercollegiate and two world stand- ards. It was Holiday's feat of breaking Adolf Kiefer's seven-year stretch as unchallenged backstroke king that is becoming the most-talked-about aquatic accomplishment of the sea- son. Outstanding Swimmer of the Year And the captain of the scuad, Jack Patten, Big Ten and Collegiate champion at the 100-yard freestyle, was voted the outstanding swimmer of the year at the NCAA meet. This, then, is the story of the 1943 squad in brief. But it is not by any means the complete tale of the mem- bers of that squad. P Out of the sixteen men who started the season under Mann only eight could say, "Here," to the muster roll as present . Earliest to leave were three Army Air Corps cadets, fine junior freestyler Lou Kivi and breast- strokers Dave Levy and sophomore Pat Hayes: Patrick, if he had been able to finish out the season, might have been the national champion.

When the goalie kicked out that shot, Grosso flipped it back into his net with the greatest of ease.

With less than 12 minutes to go, the Bruins went out to do-or-die with a five-man rush.Z Douglas broke it up on his own blue line by poke-checking Flash Hollett. Then he regained the loose puck and sped down to beat the defenseless Brimsek from less than 15 feet. :.. ,- ' "Take care of Mo West entered the Army with the ad- vanced ROTC.

Wakefield is a smooth article when it comes to selling himself and he'll probably do something about those fielding lapses, but privately he is causing some concern in the inner councils of the Detroit organization. At current standards, he may boot in as many runs as he bats in. The 21 - year - old University of Michigan collegian who in 1941 re- ceived a record $52,000 bonus from the Tigers after making a sales tour of half a dozen major league parks is batting a cool .412 in exhibition encounters. He has hammered in nine runs and kicked in half a dozen with uisteady fielding. Wakefield inherited Detroit's left field job vacated by slick fielding Bar- ney McCosky, now in the Navy. At Briggs Stadium that's the easiest gar- den to play, but at the training base here it's the sun field where Gremlins lurk. It bothers Wakefield to no small degree. "Just Wakefield booting another one," said the young man the other morning as he dropped a breakfast roll from the table. Manager Steve O'Neill, who piloted Wakefield last summer at Beaumont, believes the youngster will be all right for capturing the batting title. Fur- thermore, playing the, sun field takes experience. Essentially though, Wakefield is a ball player of the early Ted Williams type whose sole concern is batting perfection, let the enemy base hits fall where they may. Williams got so he did a passable job in the outfield for the Boston Red Sox, and maybe Wakefield's fly chasing will improve as he gathers base hits. The Tigers think he will get plenty of the latter.
