1949 ASTON BY A SQUEEZE: Sox Drop Yankees from League Lead TIEMICHIGANDAILY Bo Calls Lions' Passing Tops; Rookie Has Edge as Halfback S NEW YORK-(P)-The brawny men of Boston finally got even with Joe Page yesterday, storm- ing into the American League lead with a 7-6 triumph over the New York Yankees on a four-run blast against Fireman Joe in the eighth inning. Breaking an exact first place tie with the Yanks, the Sox exploded two big innings for their tenth straight victory of a late Septem- ber surge. It was the first time this season the Yanks had been out of the lead. THE YANKS, who led Boston by12 games the night of July 4 and had an imposing five-game Student Tickets...- Students who failed to pick up their football tickets at reg- istration last week may secure them this week only, between the hours of 8:30 and 4:30 at the Athletic Ticket Office. -Don Weir. bulge on the losing side some 10 days ago, finally have been col- lared. Bobby Doerr's squeeze bunt to first baseman Tommy Henrich moved ;Johnny Pesky home with the tie-breaking run against Page. It was close but the ump ruled the sliding Pesky safe. Almost everything that could happen did happen during the nerve-wracking three hours and 18 minute thriller as the Yanks recovered from a three-run Bos- I - i DETROIT- -(A'-Coach Bo Mc- ton first inning to move out front with four in the fourth. ADDING TO their advantage in the sixth and seventh, they crum- bled in the big eighth as Page lost his fourth straight ball game. It was Joe's third failure within a week. For a time it looked as though Lefty Page, the capable reliefer was enroute to another of his sparkling performances. Com- ing in to replace Fred Sanford in the fifth he sailed through the sixth and seventh without trouble. A line drive single by Dom Di- Maggio following a single by Bird- ie Tebbetts and a walk to pinch- hitter Lou Stringer, was the tell- ing blow. * * * ONLY ONE RUN scored on Di- Maggio's hit. Pesky rolled the ball toward George Stirnweiss but the second baseman's error, let String- er score. Now it was 6-5. The "Williams Shift" back- fired when Teddy groundedbto Stirnweiss in back of first base but Ilenrich, diving for the drive, was unable to field his position. It had to go as a sin- gle, loading the bases with none out. Vern Stephen's fly to Gene Woodling brought home DiMag- gio to tie the score. Then came Doerr's squeeze play that resulted in the fiery contro- versy at the plate involving catch- er Ralph Houk, manager Casey Stengel and the entire Yankee club. That was the ball game. STENGEL'S STARTER, Tommy Byrne, left before retiring a man in the first inningin which nine Red Sox batted during a 31-min- ute stretch. Walks to DiMaggio Managers are urgently need- ed for Michigan's 1949-50 track and field team. Practice begins this week, and anyone wishing to try out is requested to see Fred Wilmer at 4:00 p.m. to- day at Ferry Field. and Williams, sandwiched around Pesky's "fluke" single that fell between Jerry Coleman and Hen- rich in short right center, set the stage for Stephen's two-run sin- gle. When the A's come in to open a three-day stand today, Stengel plans to start Vic Raschi, winner of 19 and loser of 10. He will be' opposed by Dick Fowler (14-10). Joe Dobson will work for the Red Sox at- Washington tonight. Millin set out to Polish the Detroit Lions' running game for opening, the home National FootballI League season next Monday night against Philadelphia's Eagles in Briggs Stadium. "We feel that in quarterbacks Fred Enke and Clyde LeForce, we can match the League's best aerial attack," McMillin said. "But we've work to do on our running." I.

Since the Pittsburgh exhibi- tion game two weeks ago, Box' running and pass-catching has stood head and shoulders above all candidates. He caught touch- down passes in the last two games, one being a 38-yard charge during the Lions' heart- breaking 27 to 24 defeat from Los Angeles' Rains last Friday night. , Box' arrival as the possible "find liams House) for any new and/or interested West Quad residents.
