But the season isn't wrapped up yet and it's interesting to see just where the Tigers will end up. Del Baker's boys are making their bid for a berth in the first division. Yesterday they combined successive home runs by Barney McCosky and Rudy York in the fourth inning with a sweet job of pressure pitching by Rookie Hal White to topple the Browns, 4-1. The game was the opener of a four-game showdown series and the win by the Tigers puts them only two games behind Luke Sewell's amazing Brownies. The Tigers slapped their ex-team- mate Eldon Auker for all four of, their runs. Once again Johnny Li-' pon grabbed himself two more hits to keep up his torrid batting pace for the Tigers.

Offcial Praises State RoadPlans MacDonald Predicts Big Future Improvements For UrbanHighways LANSING, Aug. 21 -tP)-Thomas H. MacDonald, chief of the U. S. Public Roads Administration, told 3 the State Administrative Board to- day Michigan is blazing the trail for a new motor transportation era on which the lives of many large muni- cipalities will depend. The next few decades, MacDonald declared, will see emphasis placed on the construction of limited access highways and cross-town. routes to serve municipalities of 50,000 or more population, and a lagging in the de- velopment of rural roads. MacDonald, here to inspect a num- ber of Michigan's key highway de- velopments, said larger cities throughout the land would be forced in "self-defense" to see to it that their main motor transport highways are streamlined to the needs of the times. He said downtown business es- tablishments in some areas are starv- ihg for business because customers refuse to buck traffic congestion and" a lack of parking space. While subur- ban business enterprises prosper, he said, some of the downtown busi- nesses are being throttled by traffic jams to the extent that their proper- ties are not worth the amount of the mortgages on them. Highway planning surveys must provide the answer, he said, adding tat without advance preparation Michigan never would have received his approval for federal aid in the $15,000,000 project to provide limited access roads to supply the Willow Run Bomber Plant and other war in- dustrial developments. Avukah Will Hold Communal Supper Avukah, student Zionist organi- zation, will hold the last in a series of communal suppers this summer at 6:30 p. m. tomorrow at the Hillel Foundation. The meal, which will be prepared by members of the organization, will be served at cost. The program will also include the singing of Hebrew rounds and other songs.

Rosecrans, state.Selective Service di- rector, instructed local draft boards today they no longer have authority to defer induction of registrants to allow them to enlist in any branch of the military service or apply for commissions. The colonel said the Selective Serv- ice system has no objection to volun- tary enlistment of registrants, but that the men henceforth must enlist before they are called for induction. He said that where deferments or postponements of induction already have been granted to allow enlist- ment, Sessions Favored To TakeTouriney Sally Sessions, University coed, of Muskegon, is favored to defeat Miss Irene Dill, of Detroit, in the finals to- day of the Women's Annual Spring Lake Golf Open, the Associated Press reported yesterday.

Award Giv.en To Wakefield Ex -Wolverine Outfielder Honored By Writers HOUSTON, Tex., Aug. 21.-(P)- Dick Wakefield, the $5,000 outfielder Who graduated from the University of Michigan to the Detroit Tiger farm system, has begun paying divi- dends on the Tigers' investment. Wakefield was named the most valuable player of the Texas League by sports writers of the circuit. The Beaumont rightfielder, who is leading the league in hitting. over the .350 mark, leadi g in number ofI hits, in two-base hits and second in runs scored, was far ahead of the field. Wakefield received 51 points, and was first choice of eight of the 17 sports writers who participated. Hank Oana, Fort Worth's star pitch- er who was converted from an out- fielder early in the season, was sec- ond with 27 votes; Earl Caldwell, veteran Fort Worth hurler, was next with 21, and Paul Dean, staging a, fine comeback with the Houston Buffs, was fourth with 15.' A good many loyal Michigan fans think the Maize and Blue will be lucky if they get through the season with only two defeats. Theyl peint to the hard sche(dule and the h 4ss of All-American Bob Westfall. But to take this attitude would be looking only at one side of the pic- Just take a glance at what has happened to the Wolverine's strong- es, foes. Northwestern has been rid- dled like a sponge because of the ciraft and the war. Minnesota has lost one of the nation's finest coaches in a year in which they have only three regulars returning, Michigan on the other hand has net lost one regular to the Army, its coaching staff is intact, and it has s;x on back who were 50 minute last season. Sure, the Varsity may drop two, they may do worse than that--that is if the breaks go against them. No team can beat lady luck. But if Michigan gets through with the average amount of injuries, ifI it fumbles only the average amount4 of balls, and if they only get the average amount of penalties you can bet dollars to doughnuts they'll walk off with the Conference title. COACh CHARLEY BACHMAN, sly Michigan State mentor, is- n't letting Crisler get the jump on Henderson Predicts Continuted Increase n n.Prices Of Fo od WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 -UP)- Price Administrator Leon Henderson predicted today that if the June 15- July 15 rate of increase continued, foods over which the OPA has no control woud cost housewives 30 per- cent more a year from now. Uncontrolled food prices rose 2.5 percent between mid-June and mid- July, Henderson reported, on top of a 4.8 percent increase in the month previous. This compared with an in- crease of only three-tenths of 1 percent in the June 15-July 15 per- iod for food prices under OPA con- trols. These had declined 1 percent in the previous month. "The price increases in uncontroll- ed food are drawing a dangerous pat- tern," Henderson said, adding that his figures were obtained from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. TENNIS NOTICE All students interested in par- ticipating in an All-Campus Ten- nis Tournament are urged to con- act Earl Riskey of the I-M De- partment. The matches will in- elude doubles as well as singles I.lay and will take place in the next several weeks if the demand 'warrants it. W"m 111! MICHIGAN'S DICK WAKE- FIELD is way out in front now of Wally "Hoot" Evers for the Texas League batting crown. About mid- season Evers was leading Dick by seven points, blut flow the tables are turned -and the ex-Wolverine star is socking the old applie at a .361 clip while Evers has to content him- self with a .331 average. Having bat- ted in 166 runs already Dick is going after the RBI record and may crack it with a few breaks. Elmer Raab of Ann Arbor has finally brought real horseshoe laurel to this city. He won the state contest in Detroit several days ago by making the highest ring percen- tage ever played in Michigan with 76 percent ringers for seven games. "That's a kind of pitchin' to be proud of." Michigan's baseball hopes for fu- ture years were brightened yesterday when it was learned that Bob Buss- baumer, all around athletic star for Oak Park-River Forest High School, would enter the Universiy this fall. Sports writers have described him as one of the best prep catchers in the Middle West.
