The victory, credited to Trout, was his 15th of the year against nine losses. Turner Relieves Milkman Jim Turner, who pitched the last two innings after relieving Emerson Roser, was charged with the defeat. New York, trailing 2 to 1 with one out in the ninth, tied it up when Bud Metheny singled to right, scoring pinchhitter Russell Derby, who had led off the inning with a double. Her- chel Martin singled Metheny to third and Gentry to the showers. Wakefield walked to lead off the Tiger tenthsand Pinky Higgins singl- ed him to second. Both advanced on Paul Richards' grounder to third and Turner purposely walked pinchhitter Chuck Hostetler to fill the bases, setting things up for Trout's game- winning fly. Trout Hurls Well Trout pitched to only six Yankee batters and set them down flaw- lessly. Coming. on the scene with one run in, one out and Yanks on first and third in the ninth, he took Jolinny Lindell's bouncer and made Bud Metheny a run-down victim be- tween third and the plate, Herschel Martin taking third and Lindell sec- ond on the chase. Nick Etten was purposely passed, filling the bases, and Rollie Hemsley skied to Jim Outlaw for the third out. Outlaw's single and Rudy York's double netted the Tigers a one-run lead in the first, which became 2 to 0 in the fourth when Higgins doubled, Paul Richards sacrificed him to third and Joe Hoover singled him home. Yanks Get Eight Hits New York's first run came in the fifth on Metheny's double and two outfield flies on which he advanced after the catch. The Yankees collected eight hits off Gentry, three of them during the ninth inning rally. Detroit had nine safeties off Roser's offerings and two off Turner. The defeat, knocking New York into third place behind the idle Bos- ton Red Sox, was the eighth loss for the Yanks in a dozen games with the Tigers this year. The same teams meet in a double- header tomorrow with Lefty Hal Newhouser and Frank Overmireof Detroit opposing Hank Borowy and Atley Donald of New York on the mound. A break from the weather- man could boost Briggs Stadium at- tendance above the single game rec- ord this year of 38,940, set April 30 at a Tiger-Cleveland doubleheader. Michigan Gets C Keith Harder, outstanding high school and University of Virginia athlete who won. all-state recognition in basketball, is a formidable candi- date for next year's cage squad. Harder is a well-traveled person. He was born in Fairfield, Iowa almost 19 years ago and has lived in Chattanooga, Tennessee and Wash- ington, D. C. While he was at Redbank High School in Chattanooga, he played on the cage team for three years. In his sophomore and junior years he was elected to the All-Tournament team for his district. He also found time to participate in baseball and had the distinction of win- ning a letter in that sport. Then his family moved to Washington, D. C. where Harder went to McKinley High School and garnered two letters, one in basketball, as might be expected, and another in tennis. Not only did this hoopster win his letter in basketball but his ability put him on the All-Metropolitan team. The tall basketeer, who stands 6 ft. 3 in., did not stop there in his athletic career but was named Best Player in the nation's capitol-an award given annually in Washington to the player who displays the most talent during the season. When he graduated from high school, the tall, lanky hoopster passed the Navy V-12 tests. On being inducted into the Navy, he was stationed at the University of Virginia. There he was a forward on the varsity. One might easily call him "Eagle-eye" Harder, as he'was the highest scorer in the state of Virginia last year. The fact that he was the highest scorer no doubt helped him a great deal, when the time came to pick the All-State squad. He was chosen as a forward on last year's All-State team. "Eagle-eye" Harder was transferred here by the Navy, as the Univer- sity of Virginia did not offer the higher courses in his major, aeronau- tical engineering. This rangy cager is by no means merely an athlete. B', his average, is above the normal one for a university student. OLD RIVALS MEET-Corp.

Byrd Cards 72 To Lead Wood In Golf Match DETROIT, July 29-(AP)-Home pro Sammy Bird with a par 72 grab- bed a two-stroke lead over duration National Open Golf champion Craig Wood in their Red Cross challenge match at Plum Hollow Golf Club today and became a strong favorite to stand up through the second and last 18 holes of medal play tomor- row and pocket the pot of $2,500 in war bonds, winner take all. Byrd posted his even par card de- spite a pair of ugly sixes on the 6th and 17th holes, both par 5's. With Wood 1-up going into the 490-yard par 5 eight hole, a dogleg to the right, both faded their tee shots into the rough among pine trees. Byrd, slamming for the pin with a 4 wood, overclubbed but the ball plunked smack into the flag and dropped within two feet of the cup for an eagle 3. Wood's second miss- ed the green, his chip was long and he missed the putt for a bogey 5 and went 1-down, never to catch up. Byrd's card by nines was 36-36-72. Wood had 37-37-74. A gallery of more than 1,000 paid $1 each admission. It was Newsom's eighth victory against ten losses.
