THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1950 T HE MICRIGAN DAILY i Michigan Golfers Nose Out wolverines Gain Third Straight 'Victory in 151-11- Triumph POOR RICHARD'S ALMANAC: 'Got Along Fine With Yanks'--Wakefield By TED PAPES Michigan's golf team, sporting *some novel modifications, extend- ed its current winning streak to ,tree in a row yesterday by out- lasting Michigan State, 15/2-11/2, in a match at the University course. With two of the Wolverines' ,top golfers, Bob Olson and Dick Evans, watching from the side- lines, Keith LeClair and De an &Lind combined a pair of preci- sion rounds to give their team its offensive spark. * * * THEY TIED for medalist hon- Sors with even par scores of 72 in a match which included best ball and individual competition simul- taneously over an 18 hole stretch played by three foursomes. With a slightly complicated scoring system, there were nine points to be earned by each group of four players. LeClair and Lind smothered Spartans Bob Tansey and Rex Newman 8/2-/2 in positions one and two. That huge Michigan edge failed to hold up, however, as Jack Zinn and Cliff Taylor of the visi- tors throttled Leo Hauser and John Fraser 8-1 in the second foursome. * * * FRASER TURNED IN the third lowest Wolverine score, a 76, but couldn't quite balance out Tay- lor's fine 73. Hauser encountered * * a variety of difficulties and skied to an 83. Still clinging to a one point margin Michigan looked to its fifth and sixth men to bring home the victory. Chuck Mac- Callum and Pat McCloy strug- gled past Art Hills and Don Perne of Michigan State for a 6-3 edge to turn the tide. Both MacCallum and McCloy were handicapped by frigid putters throughout the afternoon. Lind, the sophomore whiz, felt right at home in the number two spot. He rimmed the cup on a 40- foot eagle attempt at hole num- ber nine settling for a birdie four and a 35 at the turn. He also birdied 11 to go two under par, but bogeys on 13 and 15 nullified his advantage, * * * LeCLAIR'S ROUND was his sec- ond straight par effort, the other one helping to spank Detroit Tues- day. He also negotiated the front nine in 35. Among his four birdies was a three on the 365 yard eighth where he canned a 16-foot down- hill putt to break up a Spartan threat. Lind's finest golf shot came on number 12 where he blasted his second with a driver to hit the bank of the green and roll to within five feet of the cup, giving him a bird on that difficult 420' yard hole. By HAROLD TANNER "Who owns Dick Wakefield?" That is the question that is puzzling baseball fans today and must be answered by Commis- sioner A. B. Chandler within the next few days. NOT ONLY do fans and baseball men want to know who owns the 29 year old outfielder, but Wake- field himself stated in an inter- view at his Ann Arbor home yes- terday afternoon that this is the question which is holding back his rejoining a major league team. The affable ex-Wolverine baseball star who was signed off the Michigan campus in 1941 by the Detroit Tigers stressed that he would like to continue playing major league baseball but qualified his statement with certain specific terms. Dick declared: "I would be very happy to join the Chicago White Sox provided they add $5500 to my contract." The Chisox who re- ceived Wakefield from, the New York Yankees for Johnny Ostrow- ski and cash, have previously re- fused to meet this figure and when Wakefield declined to join the club, cancelled the trade leav- ing the decision resting in Chand- ler's lap. When queried on the possibility of his rejoining the New York Yankees, he declared that he did not feel that he could rejoin a team that had traded him and had emphasized that they did not want him. * * * DICK WAS HAPPY with the New York club and was happy with his Yankee contract. He thinks that the Yankees have a good chance for the American League flag and would have liked to stay with them and possibly help them in the pennant chase.] When he went to the New York team from Detroit, he hoped to gain a first string berth, but realized that he would: have to wait for his opportunity. During yesterday's interview he declared that he did not think that he had been given an ade- quate opportunity to prove him- self in championship competi- tion. With reference to his relations with his Yankee teammates dur- ing his short stay with the club, he declared: "I got along fine with the Yankees. They are a great bunch of men." * * * HE REFERRED to a story in a New York paper after his trade to the effect that the Yankee players were happy to see him go and did not get along with him. Braves Cut Loose PITTSBURGH - ( ) - Bos- ton's Johnny Sain survived a first inning mauling by the Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday, held the Bucs to a four-hit total for the game, then led his mates on an 11-run binge in the ninth that resulted in a 15-4 Boston victory.

Declaring that he definitely desires to remain in the majors, Wakefield yes- terday refuted well circularized claims that he would only play with the Yankees or Red Sox. The one-time Detroit Tiger stated that only a $5,500 salary difference blocks his participation with the Chicago club. The Yankee players held a meet- ing, and 30 men signed a letter refuting this statement and say- ing that they were on amiable re- lation$ with him forcing the re- traction of the story by the New York writer. In other comments about the press, Wakefield labelled ridicu- lous the statement attributed to him saying that he would play only for the Yanks or Red Sox. He also classed the rumor about his immediate retirement to build a hotel in Ann Arbor as equally fallacious.
