PAGE FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, MY 31, 1940 Yankees Beat Tigers, 8-6 World Champs Chase Rookie From Mound Red Ruffing Holds Detroit Scoreless Until Closing Inning 6-Run Outburst DETROIT, July 30. - () - Red, Ruffing lifted the bedraggled New York Yankees out of a forgotten cor- ner today and covered the American League pennant picture with con- fusion by drubbing the Detroit Tigers, 8 to6. Ruffing put on a grand show for six innings and even though b* weakened so badly he had to be lift- ed in the eighth, he got credit for his tenth triumph of the season. Rufus the Red pitched five-hit shutout ball for the first six innings and hit a three-run homer for the Yankee cause in the sixth. His ,teammates finished building him an 8-0 lead in the seventh, driving young Hal Newhouser from the mound, but the veteran Ruffing couldn't stand the heat and the rag- ing temper of the Tigers, who crowd- ed all their uns into two innings with Rudy York hitting two home runs and Pete Fox one. York Homers York's first homer opened the seventh stanza and was followed by two singles and a force out for another run. York's second round-tripper of the game and the 18th of the year came behind Hank Greenberg's single in the eighth. Then Pinky Higgins sing- led and Fox homered for the other runs, but Johnny Murphy snuffed out the rally quickly. The Yanks owed their victory to! an early start. They got one run in the third inning when Red Rolfe walked, advancer to second on New- houser's balk, and scored on a double by Tom Henrich. They got another in the fourth when Charley Keller doubled, was sacrificed to third and beat the throw home on a grounder by Babe Dahlgren. Then they made six hits good for six runs in the sixth and seventh frames. DiMaggio Record Intact Joe DiMaggio singled in the seven- th, making 23 consecutive games in which he has hit safely. A crowd of 14,845, including a dele- gation of 1,400 Kalamazoo fans, saw the Tigers outhit their ancient rivals, 12 to 10, but lose just the same when their late inning rally fell short. One touch of drama brightened the game for disappointed Bengal followers. Young Billy Sullivan's father, star catcher for the Chicago White Sox when they were famed as "the hitless wonder", was in the stands. There were two out in the eighth and Ruffing had just been banished from the game. Johnny Murphy came in, looked at Sullivan and then threw a ball. Sullivan struck at it Intramural Sports Programs Show Progress, Mitchell Says ASSOCIATED PACTURE PRESS N EWS Education for leisure through in- tramural sports programs has made notable progress in the last 20 years through simplification of rules, the elimination of scholastic require- ments for participation and spectator education, Prof. Elmer D. Mitchell of the School of Education analyzed in his lecture yesterday. Enlargement of the staff of direc- tors, the extensive experimentation in the units of participation, the greater emphasis on recreational and skill sports in the college and high school curriculas have resulted in a modification of the rugged individ- ualistic sports program formerly of- fered only to members of varsity teams, he pointed out. Mental hygiene has a more im- portant place in the physical educa- tion programssofdsecondary schools so that every student has opportun- ity and encouragement to partici- pate in athletics, Professor Mitchell commented. Organization into small leagues with group and inaividual point sys- tems have been the milestones in the last two decades of sports programs. The use of movies and exhibitions, In The Majors are other recent trends, he said. In view of the possibility of con- sription and mobilization, the intra- mural program offers opportunity for all to acquire skills and more ade- quate standard of physical health and fitness, Professor Mitchell con- cluded.

He called the State Liquor Con- trol Commission before him, deli- vered a temperance lecture in which he declared no liquor should be sold on State grounds, and declared he would fight any attempt to license beer sales at the Fair. Chairman Orrin A. DeMass in- formed Dickinson that the Commis- sion, although it previously had voted to authorize beer sales, had changed its mind and would not issue a license. Dickinson used a severe tone to address the members on beer at the Fair, but told them he upheld their stand in issuing a number of drink- ing house licenses in the City of De- troit over protests of 'the Detroit City Police. A. M. Cummins, a member re- ported the Commission felt that un- der the constitution it is the "final tribunal" for determining who should receive licenses, and is no more bound to follow the recommendations of the police than the supreme court is bound to follow the desires of lower courts. Dickinson said he might probe deeper, however, into Detroit police criticism of the fact the Commission has granted Samuel Sofferin, of De- troit, a license to operate a drinking house after having taken away his license to operate a different drink- ing place in which inspectors found gambling paraphernalia. Dickinson, a veteran temperance worker, commented bitterly about the law that makes him an ex-officio member of the liquor commission. "As they say, I'm the chief bar- tender," he said, but added that "I favor wiping every last saloon out of the state." "But we've got to enforce the laws and take them as they come," he added. He told the commissioners they had his "utmost confidence" and that voting to license Sofferin and some others over Detroit police protests they had acted "about as we'd expect of a commission that has the interests of the State at heart.

Mats. 28c - Eves 39c ' Air-minded tourists are being added to Michigan's annual throng of vacationers with the installation of seaplane floats constructed by the National Youth Administration in cooperation with local communties, according to Orin W. Kaye, State NYA Administrator. The above picture taken at a recent dedication of a float installed at Harbor Springs is a typical scene a t many lakes this summer where similar services are being held. Captain Robert S. Fogg reports that Michigan is now leading the nation in the number of sea- plane floats. That this service is attracting seaplane owners from all parts of the country is attested by the recent arrival of planes from as far distant as Boston, Massachusetts. There are 47 such floats installed, under construction or under consideration.
