NEW YORK - The Yankees'
pennant hopes flickered and al-
most died, then were revived in
one inning yesterday.
The New Yorkers after falling
behind in the seventh, blasted
their former nemesis, AlexKell-
ner, for three runs in the same in-
ning to defeat the Philadelphia
Athletics, 7 to 5,
THIS VICTORY made it cer-
tain that the 1949 American
League pennant race will be won
or lost in the two game series be-
tween the Yanks and the Boston
Red Sox here Saturday and Sun-
day.
It put the Yanks in a spot
where they can't possibly be
more than two games behind
going into the windup.
The Athletics, submissive and
apparently ineffective for six in-
nings, scored all their runs in the
seventh when they drove Tommy
Byrne off the mound. But the
Yanks, possibly inspired by the
brief and unexpected pre-game
appearance of the ailing Joe Di-
Maggia, came right back to score
three times in that inning and
win the ball game.
THE TENSION of a tight pen-
nant race again put the umpires
on the hot spot with Charlie Berry,
behind the plate, taking most of
the blasts. Berry evicted Eddie
Joost, Philadelphia shortstop, for
two-vigorous protests against a
called third strike in the third in-
ning. And Berry twice called balks
against pitchers, the second send-
ing the Yankees' last run home.
Byrne, who had failed to sur-
vive the first inning against
Boston Monday, apparently had
the game well in hand going
into the seventh. He had al-
lowed only two hits up to that
point and was leading, 4-0.
But the Yankee lefthander ap-
parently lost his stuff and before
the inning ended, Fred Sanford
and Joe Page also had made futile
efforts to stop the A's. Allie Rey-
nolds finally took over the pitch-
ing job after the Yanks regained
the lead and hurled two superb
innings in relief to hold it, strik-
ing out three men in the ninth.
'Grid Rookies
Start on Long
T'rail to Glory
Freshman football, the acknowl-
edged basic training and proving
ground for future Wolverine grid-
iron machines, jumped into action
this week on Ferry Field under the
able tutelage of Michigan's versa-
tile Wally Weber.
Believing that ample fuel is
needed for a hot fire, Coach Weber
Tryouts for cheerleaders are

day between 3 and 5 p.m. Final

is concentrating this week on con-
ditioning and toughening-up ex-
ercises and drills.
"After all," Weber, comment-
ed, "what good is an engine
without any gasoline?"
Speed and size characterizes this
season's fledgings with the squad
itself numbering over 75 hopeful
prospects.
Although Coach Weber declined
to mention any particular indi-
viduals, he kept an appreciative
eye on many candidates while
watching his charges run through
drills yesterday afternoon.
DO YOU KNOW . . . that
George Sisler, former Michigan
baseball captain, made 257 hits
for St. Louis in 1920 to estab-
lish a major league record that
has never been broken.
Michigan's footballers, pretty
adept at giving the pigskin a ride
through the air, will take to the
airways themselves this morning
when a band of 36 determined
Wolverines leave Willow Run Air-
port at 11 o'clock . . . but not be-
fore they have another practice.
The Wolverines will arrive at
Palo Alto, stamping grounds of
the Stanford Indians, early this
evening, but Bennie Oosterbaan
feels that his boys can not afford
to miss a day of workouts in prep-
aration for the important engage-
ment with the apparently revital-
ized California, squad.
* * *
BENNIE PLANS to run the team
through about an hour's drill be-
fore they hop on the plane, and
then the squad will probably pol-
ish off the week's preparations
with a light workout tomorrow to
get a feel of the west coast climate.
Yesterday afternoon's session
featured a long offensive scrim-
mage in which the red-shirted
JV's put up quite a stiff battle
for a while.
Late in the afternoon, however,
blonde Chuck Ortmann unlimber-
ed his talented right wing and
began to hit his receivers with
several long heaves.
* * *
IN A BRIEF defensive drill pre-
ceding the offensive portion of
the practice, the second stringers
unsuccessfully tried to skirt the
ends against a changing four and
five man line.
It becomes increasingly evi-
dent that Oosterbaan and his
assistants are going to have a
much harder time deciding
which fullback to use rather
than worry about developing a
good one.
Oosterbaan is in the enviable

position of having three top-notch

quately handle the tricky Wol-
verine spinner plays.
LAST SATURDAY Dick "Killer"
Kempthorn started the contest
against the Spartans but it turn-
ed out that Don Dufek was the
leading ground gainer for both
teams.
Meanwhile Tom Peterson,
leading scorer on last year's
championship squad with 55
points, and also a capable de-
fensive performer finds that he
will really have to hustle or else
warm the bench for most of the
year.
Kempthorn, of course, won't be
moved out of his line backer's po-
sition, but both Dufek and Peter-
son will fight it out for other de-
fensive posts and all three will
struggle for the offensive assign-
ment.
The contest between the three
will probably last all season long,
but it's a thing a coach likes to
have happen and should give
Oosterbaan a sort of "pleasing
type" of headache.
Doubt Joe
WHilStart in
Bosox Series
NEW YORK-(A)-Joe DiMag-
gio, $100,000 a year center fielder
of the New York Yankees, re-
mains a doubtful starter in the
million dollar series against the
American League's pace-setting
Boston Red Sox this weekend.
The Yankee Clipper, stricken
with a virus infection a little over
a week ago, worked out briefly
for the first time yesterday prior
to the Yanks clash with the Phila-
delphia Athletics.
DI MAGGIO CUT at 15 pitches
and banged one into the stands
but complained of weariness and
expressed doubt of participating in
the all important series with the
Red Sox.
"I'm going right back to my
hotel and rest, but I'll be out
again tomorrow," D i M ag gio
said. 'I feel pretty weak right
now after takingbatting prac-
tice, but my temperature was
normal all day Tuesday and it
was normal after the workout.
I'm watching that very closely
these days."
Manager Casey Stengel said, "I
won't ask him to play until he
says he's ready."
