Although the games will have no, direct effect on the top positions, a double win for Michigan would stretch the Maize and Blue winning streak to 22 for the season, which according to coach Ray Fisher, "is an exanple of what this 1945 ball club of mine can do." The veteran mentor has often termed this year's club "the best I've ever coached." Ohio Record Average The Buckeyes have been having only a mediocre season, being plagued by a lack of pitchers. They have won four and lost six in Conference competition, while taking six and dropping five in outside games. The .combination of booming bats, and the league-leading brand of hurling shown by Ray Louthen and Bo Bowman, make the Michigan hopes high for today's series. Lou- then, the big red-head who will be seeking his ninth win, and "Lefty" Bo Bowman, who last year led the league, will try for his seventh vic- tory.

Tigers Snare First Pilce, Trip Sox, 2-1 Orrell Credited With Win, Allowing 4 Hits By The Associated Press DETROIT, June 8-The Detroit Tigers grabbed the American League lead here today by beating the Chi- cago White Sox, 2 to 1, in a twilight game before 14,285 fans in the opener of a four-game series. Forrest -(Joe) Orrell, tall Tiger righthander, hurled four-hit ball in pitching Detroit into first place but Paul (Dizzyy Trout was called in to retire the Sox in the ninth after Or- rell put the first two batsmen on base. It was Trout's first relief appear- ance of the season but the victory went to Orrell, who had lost both his two previous starts. Detroit scored both its runs off starter Thornton Lee, Chicago left- hander,-who-gave six hits before re- tiring for a pinch-hitter in the sev- enth.

I, SATURDAY AFTERNOON gradually assumed widespread proportions with each passing hour until the day that all turfdom has anxiously awaited is finally here, and the 1945 Kentucky Derby field will take their places at the starting posts, with Jeep and Pot O' Luck rated as the two favorites. This year's field not only has a wide representation but the form of accomplishments by the various horses rate the event as a toss-up. There' isn't any standout from a class rating in the group, and these horses have taken turns beating one another. The way the betting and the odds stand right now, no matter who wins, the mutuals are certain to pay off better than an $8 return, and what a positihn for an upset, which will occur in the minds of track addicts if any horse other than Jeep crosses the finish line ahead of the field. Jeep, Hoop Jr. and Alexis are the three Eastern horses that continues to hold the spotlight. Eddie Arcaro will be atol Hoop Jr., while George *Woolf, who will pilot Sea Swallow, is the veteran of this derby field, as he has already ridden in eight Kentucky classics. THREE CANADIAN horses, including Kennilworth Lad, Bert G. and Fair Jester arrived at the grounds earlier in the week and should be ready to start at the opening sound of the gun. Bymeabond, the horse that bungled up the Blue Grass Stakes will also be on hand, as will Darby Dieppe, which won the Blue Grass Stakes last week-end and has been one of the3 most talked of horses since then. The least-talked of nominee in the Derby is Misweet, a huge horse, and the only filly to even start in a Derby since Gold Seeker was entered nine years ago in the 1936 classic. Misweet is owned by Arthur Rose, sec- retary of the Michigan Racing Commission, and if his horse wins, it will{ mark the first time in 30 years that a filly has performed this feat. RegretI was the last filly to win a Derby in 1915, but when the 71st running of the Kentucky classic gets underway, Owner Rose promises that his filly will be right among the winners. In 17 starts as a two-year-old, Misweet won $8,750. In her last six starts, including two this spring, she's never been worse than fourth and has been first, twice and second three times. She also can claim the distinction of having beaten Darby Dieppe consistently as a juve- nile. Regardless who wins the 71st running of the Kentucky Derby today, you can bet your last bottom dollar that every color entered in this glor- ious classic will be striving hard to win that $75,000 stake and that wreath of roses from which the aroma never seems to completely fade with the years. Major League Standings... by The Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky.,June 8-Sixteen finely turned three-year-old horses today accepted the issue for the 71st Kentucky Derby with the prospects that F. W. Hooper's Hoop Jr. would go postward the favorite to show the way home over Churchill Down's rac- ing strip soaked by two days of rain. If the 13 colts, two geldings and one filly face the barrier tomorrow at about 5:15 p.m., Central 'War Time, it will be the richest derby in history with a gross value of $86,875. The winner of America's premier turf' event, expected to attract more than 60,000 fans, will take down a net purse of $64,850 - topping the pre- vious high of $64,675 won by Pensive last year. For each withdrawal, permitted until 45 minutes before post time, the purse will be reduced by the starting fee of $500. Two of the field named through the entry box probably will be scratched if the going remains muddy as it was today. They are Burning Dream. carrying E. R. Brad- Doherty Sends Seven Entries To NCAA Meet Three Michigan track stars will run their last race for the Maize and Blue today when Coach Ken Doherty sends seven thinclads to compete for individual honors in the NCAA Track and Field meet, which gets under way at 8:15 p. m. CWT (9:14 p. m. EWT) in Milwaukee. Bob and Ross Hume, nationally known mile twins, and Dick Forre- stel, honorary captain-elect of next year's track squad will run under Michigan colors for the last time. The Humes may not be paired to- gether in their specialty, the. mile. For here, Coach Doherty may enter Bob Thomason and Bob Hume, and leave Ross Humne for the half mile run. Also in the half mile will be Ar- chie Parsons who has improved tre- mendously since the beginning of the season. While Forrestel will compete against the cream of the nation's 440 yard dash crop when he faces eight or 10 leading quarter milers. All these men have done under 50 seconds, and Coach Doherty looks for a close race. Chuck Birdsall rounds out the Michigan running delegation when he competes in the two mile run. Birdsall is current Big Ten two mile champip and will attempt to add the national title to his belt. John McNab, who jumped 6 ft. 1 in. in the Conference meet will also attempt to add the Wolverine point total. lop 4RECORDS iAT THE RADIO & RECORD SHOP 715 N.
