The pitcher was Steve Gromek, right out of Manager Lou Boud- reau's bottom drawer. THE ONLY SCORE the Braves made off the 27-year-pld right- hander was a well-tagged home run by Mary Rickert, the minor league outfielder who got in the play-offs at the last minute be- cause of an injury to Jeff Heath. In running their advantage to 3-1 in games and putting them- selves in position to close out the series tomorrow behind Bob Feller, the Indians beat the big tobacco - chewing fellow who licked them in the Boston open- er, Johnny Sain. They clipped him for only five hits, all in the first five frames. But one of their blows was a double by Boudreau with one on base in the first inning, and ano- ther was a home run smash by outfielder, Larry Doby, deep over the right center field railing in the third. THAT WAS ALL Gromek needed as he sneaked a weird as- sortment of curves and screwballs past the bewildered Bostons. In all, he gave up seven hits, but Rickert was the only Brave to see third base. Just to demonstrate that he could do it, the Cleveland chukker racked up two strikeouts in the final inning, his only ones of the game. Rickert's round-tripper broke a string of 23 scoreless innings for the Braves, starting in the second game of the series. Gene Bearden southpawed them into a helpless state yesterday. As a matter of passing interest, Rickert's blow was exactly the 200th home run ever hit in a world series game. Again, and for the fourth straight day, today's great crowd more or less sat on its hands. See TRIBES, Page 6 Dewey Train To Sidetrack Alma Mater Gov. Thomas Dewey, Republi- can candidate for president, will be unable to §top in Ann Arbor during his swing through Michi- gan late this week, according to GOP state officials. Jim Schoener, chairman of the University's Young Republican Club, said state GOP officials an- nounced that Dewey's present plans call for him to go directly to Owosso, Mich., from a speaking engagement in Indiana. Earlier GOP officials had been trying to make arrangements for Dewey to view the Michigan- Northwestern gridiron clash here next Saturday. These plans re- ceived a setback when national Republican Party officials an- nounced that Dewey would pro- ceed from Hammand, Indiana at noon Saturday and arrive in Owosso-Saturday night. He will travel on the Michigan Central railroad line which does. not pass through Ann Arbor. Football Movies Unfortunate students who missed the Michigan-Oregon foot- Lethal Weapon? .

To Moscowl .F or Vinsmon WASHINGTON - (A') - Presi- dent Truman disclosed that he had considered-and rejected on the advice of Secretary of State Marshall- an extraordinary mis- sion by Chief Justice Vinson to tell Moscow how the American people feel about "the atomic problem." Vinson was to have undertaken a personal attempt to straighten the Russian leaders out on this grave matter, Truman said in a statement. THE PLAN was dropped, he said, because of the general situ- ation as reported by Masha and because of the "possibilities of misunderstanding" which might grow out of a single-handed ac- tion by the United States. Marshall, in a late day news conference, noted that he had seen reports of "a split between the President and the Secretary of State." lie added emphati- cally: "There is no foundation for this." The facts, said Truman, are as follows: * * * "ON LAST TUESDAY, when I communicated with Secretary Marshall, I told him of my con- tinuing great desire to see peace firmly established in the world, and of my particular concern at this time over the attitude taken by the Soviet representatives re- garding the atomic problem. "I said that I was wondering whether their attitude did not reflect a misunderstanding in the minds of the Soviet leaders so serious, from the standpoint of world peace in general, that we would be remiss if we left undone anything that might conceivably serve to dispel it. "Secretary Marshall described the situation which we faced in Paris, and, in the light of his re- port . . . . I decided not to take this step.,$ * * * Explaining why Truman was in- terested in sending Chief Justice Vinson to Moscow. Marshall said that the President has a "very spe- cial position in the matter." His hearers in the news conference clearly understood that he meant that President Truman is the only human being who has the final control of an atomic bomb. * *, KoceSki eninga Ortmann Sarkle Crowd of 45,596 Sees Wolverines Victorious in Initial Big Nine Game By BUD WEIDENTHAL Associate Sports Editor LAFAYETTE, Indiana -Flashing tremendous power and a superb offensive attack Michigan's Wolverines stunned and completely amazed a record home-coming crowd of 45,596 fans as they submerged a baffled Purdue eleven, 40-0, yester- day afternoon. They looked like the magnificent team of old as they ran and passed circles around the highly touted Riveters and had them at their mercy throughout most of the contest. The Wolverines pulled a whole host of tricks out of the bag that had the home team completely confused. Michigan's running attack, that had failed to click up to this week, unfolded with knifelike brilliance. Resorting to the aerial route only 15 times all afternoon, it was the deceptive and shifty running of Leo Koceski, Chuck Ortmann and Wally Teninga that rolled the Maize and Blue to tge most decisive win over the Boilermakers in the history of their long rivalry. * * *~ * BEN OOSTERBAAN'S SMOOTH working eleven never relin- quished the ball on downs in the entire first half, scoring each time they gained possession of the pigskin. The Wolverines made it look easy as they rolled up two rapid fire touchdowns in the opening quarter. After winning the toss and choosing to kick off, the Michigan eleven stopped the Boilermakers on downs and took over on their own 41 yard line. They marched down the field on a series of 14 plays and scored the first touchdown of the afternoon on a three yard run off tackle by Koceski. THE DRIVE WAS sparked by a brilliant pass from Ortmann to Dick Rifenburg that went for 30 yards. Rife was in the clear on their one but slipped as he headed for the goal line. Allis' kick was good. The second Wolverine drive of the quarter came when Dan Dworsky intercepted a Boilermaker pass over the line of scrimmage and ran it back to his own 45.

TRUMAN TOLD his Buffalo au- dience that the Republicans have concluded that "their record is so bad on the important issues of the day that they can't even discuss them." Meanwhile Gjoy. Thomas E. Dewey promised a "forward- looking" labor program as he passed up comment on the tacit endorsement from the United Mine Workers. At the same time Henry Wallace in a Tacoma address was charging that American policy - makers have put on "crusaders' robes" to save the world from Communism, but their crusade is as "cynical" and "deceitful" as Adolph Hit- ler's.

United Nations sources in Paris said proposals on hkriin by six members of the Council were sent to Moscow by Soviet Deputy For- eign Minister Andrei Vishinsky.

He said the United States would be "mur- dering human freedom and committing suicide" if it sur- rendered its store of atom bombs, which he declared was the one asset guarding the prog- ress of mankind.

BROWN (Special to The Daily) LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- They all put on a great show for the Home- coming this afternoon-.-they all did, that is, with the exception of the Purdue football team. The local celebrations began this morning when dormitories and fraternities showed off their dis- plays, calling for a Boilermaker larruping of the visiting Wolver- ines. ONE HOUR before game time, with over-zealous inebriates add- ing to the spectacle, parades marched to the stadium, led by the "Purdue Boilermaker Special," a simulated train. Most unusual pre-game oddity involved one gentleman with an extra seat on the fifty yard line. He was asking $3.60, the regular price. It looked for a moment as if scalpers would run him out of town. Many a hearty laugh was en- joyed by the spectators as a wildly screaming public address announcer called the plays. His voice bore a remarkable resem- blance to that of radio's Henry Aldrich. * *W*t WITH FOUR minutes to play in FINDS FIN FINE!

Some- one yelled, "You pulled down the wr ng one." Michigan coeds couldn't be distinguished from other female fans at the game. Both schools have gold as their colors, and the yellow "mums" on the girls' coats didn't help clear up the situation. The Riveter's baton twirlers were something to see. One gentle- man balanced a baton on his chin, cn top of which was balanced another baton, this one in flames. To complete the picture, he also twirled a baton in each hand.
