". six THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1957 , FARRELL SMITH COMMENT: Indians Find Pennant Race Tough By FRED KATZI 'A' Crowns Taken By Sig Eps, Strauss (This article was written following a series of interviews in the Cleveland Indians' dressing room after the De- troit-Cleveland game Monday night.) DETROIT - The atmosphere was as cheerful as a Charles Ad- dams' cartoon. The Cleveland Indians had just been manhandled by the Tigers Monday night, 11-5, and no sound above a low murmur was audible in the visitors' clubhouse of Briggs Stadium. The Indians' braintrust, man- ager Kerby Farrell and coaches Eddie Stanky and Mel Harder, were just sitting in a corner of the room, staring blankly into their lockers. A Quiet Scene It was only one loss in a sea- son's slate of 154 games, but an onlooker couldn't help realizing the intentness with which these men go about their job of produc- ing a pennant-winner for Cleve- land: It took only fifteen minutes for most of the players to dress into their civilian clothes and head back to the Sheraton-Cadillac ho- tel. A few men remained, and Al Smith and Larry Raines sat quiet- ly discussing the night's activity. Smith, the Indians' centerfield- er and always a dangerous man at the plate, although he's hitting only .256 right now, lamented, "This club here (Detroit) always gives us trouble." No Let-Ups "One of the big things about playing with a top club like Cleveland is that the seven other teams in the league always save their best pitchers for us. There's never a let-up." Farrell had just gotten out of the shower and was toying idly with a scorecard. When asked what teams have given the In- dians the most trouble he said de- jectedly, "They've all been tough. We defeat somebody, we don't beat them. When we win it's by a run, and when we lose it's by a whole flock." Good Rookies He brightened up considerably when the topic came around to his rookies. "We have nine men up from f - - - - __ - - -- - - I triple-A ball, including' Raines and Bud Daley, who has turned in three real good ball games." The loss of Herb Score, whom Farrel dubs "the best pitcher in baseball" along with Bob Lemon, who will be out for at least three weeks with a pulled thigh muscle, has forced Farrell to use Don Mos- si and Daley to complete his "Big Four."

A fine pitching duel developed, between Cal Atwood of the Sig Eps and Cal Haywood of the Delts, as they matched each other pitch for pitch until the sixth inning. At that time, DTD was leading, 2-1. Three-Run Homer With two men on base and two out in the bottom of the sixth, Sig Ep's Rich Crawford belted a line drive over the left fielder's head for a three-run homer. Atwod gave up only four hits, while Haywood yielded five. In Residence Hall "A" first- place finals, Strauss beat Ander- son, 7-1, to win the championship. Frank Baffle, the bespectacled righthander who has been very successful throughout the season, came through with one of his best performances of the year, strik- ing out six while being tagged for only three hits. The big inning for Strauss was the fourth, during which they hit five straight singles and scored an equal number of runs. Ralph Forbes ruined Balle's bid for a shutout in Anderson's half of the fourth with a home run. In a game played last Friday, Phi Kappa Tau beat Tau Delta Phi, 11-8, to take the second-place "A" title. Bill Powell's triple in the eighth inning broke up the ball game. In a second-place "B" semifinal, Sigma Phi Epsilon defeated Tau Kappa Epsilon, 20-9. -DfilyDonna Hanson REPEAT PERFORMANCE-Jim Baad (left), Daily Sports Editor, presents Fran LeMire with a trophy signifying LeMire's selection as Intramural Athlete of the Year.

Falls Short However, LeMire's achievements weren't enough to hoist LCA into the lead in the social fraternity league. Sigma Phi Epsilon, aided by vic- tories in the "A" and "B" softball playoffs, holds a 10-point lead over Sigma Chi in a neck-and- neck championship race. The out- come rests on the finals in tennis. Gomberg Repeats In the residence hall league, the "Big Reds" of Gomberg have had another title clinched since earli- er in the spring. They have a 1920- 1484 lead on second-place Huber, with the final totals again pend- ing the tennis playoffs. Nu Sigma Nu repeated as chamn- pions in the professional frater- nity division, claiming more than half of the league titles in various sports. 'Kids' Win Again The Seldom Seen Kids, leaders in the independent league, are also repeats from last year. They were challenged all the way by Evans Scholars, who finished on the bot- tom end of a 1164-1076 count. In the international league Chi- na finished the season with a slight edge over India.

Fact is, so has just about everything else -except Finals and Home-Going. And they can be rough. But here our man has had it out with himself. He's taking the Resolute Step - the one calculated to make Home-Going a cinch. How can Home-Going be a cinch? Elementary. Our man recognizes that his biggest problem is What To Do With Winter Clothes, and he's called in Greene's Cleaners to solve it. Their solution - Handi-Hamper box storage - means that he can unload his closet-full of winter stuff on Greene's until next Fall. Here's how it works: Our man calls Greene's for one of those fabulous Handi-Hampers. Into it he packs all the clothes he won't wear until Summer ends - clothes he would ordinarily pack up, take home, have cleaned, pack up and bring back come Fall. But now he just turns the Handi-Hamper over to Greene's. They clean the lot, at their regular cleaning prices, and store everything on hangers in their vault until our man calls for them. The storage cost? Just $4.95, or a little over a dollar a month during vacation, and credit terms can be arranged. Our man is delighted. You will be, too. Call Greene's, NOrmandy 2-3231, or stop in at the main plant on East Lib- erty, or the student store on South University. o Two Campus Locations -516 E. Liberty and 1213 So.
