THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1944 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Falkenburg Wins in National Tourney St. Louis Browns Lead 1 Juior Circuit Race By The Associated Press St. Louis boasted a 5%-game lead in the American League today after brushing off Eastern opposition in 11 of 16 starts to pace the Western clubs to a decisive triumph in the fourth intersectional series of the season. While the Browns operated on home soil, the traveling Cardinals wound up their second tour of the Atlantic seaboard with a fancy 14 of{ 17 win secord as all Western Nationals broke .500 or better.Y Only the Boston Red Sox, who won nine of 15 starts, upheld the honor of the East in either league with a few scattered games to be played before the clubs head home. Washington, winner of only one in 16 and loser of 11 straight, hit bottom with an :$63 mark for the tour.: Sig Jakucki hurled the Brewers to an 11-6 nod over the Nats last -night with Vern Stephens' four hits 1 Sayres, Detroit :....:'Netter, Beaten I~ak6+ the un44i By HANK MANTHO Daily Sports Editor Tigers Draw Large Crowds In Home Stand 79,601 Fans Watch Last Four Contests DETROIT-()-The Detroit Ti- gers were stil in fifth place in the American league today but they left a trail of attendance records in their wake as they pulled away from Briggs stadium for a swing through west- ern Michigan after taking three out of four from the New York Yankees. Though buried in the second divi- sion, the Tigers packed 'em into the home lot like they were leading the league when 79,601 fans paid to watch the four games in three days. Record Attendance An all-time record twilight crowd for the club-26,815-sat in on Paul (Dizzy) Trout's 16th victory last light, his fourth without defeat against the Yanks. The score was 8 to 4. New York, previously beaten nine times in 14 starts this year against the Tigers, sent out Ernie (Tiny) Bonham in search of his seventh straight mound triumph, but the big righthander didn't last four innings and when Al Lyons came to the res- cue Detroit was leading, 6 to 1. Trout, taking it easy with the com- fortable margin, permitted 14 Yankee hits, three more than Detroit col- lected. York Hits 11th But the Tigers made theirs count. Joe Hoover's single in the second drove in both Pinky Higgins, who had singled, and Bob Swift, who had doubled. Four hits netted three more Detroit runs in the fourth and Rudy York's 11th homer of the year, a mighty swat into the upper deck in left field in the seventh, scored Jim Outlaw, who had walked. Tight in the Pinches New York had runners on the base paths in seven of the nine innings but Trout escaped serious damage each time, striking out Relief Pitch- er Al Lyons in the sixth with the bases full. Pop flies: When Trout took Hems- ley's liner in the second and threw to York, catching Etten off first, it was Detroit's 123rd double play .-- home attendance for the 1 8days of the stand just ended was 219,527 ... total for seven twilight games is 92,806, an average of 13,258 ... Trout now has beaten New York four times without defeat and Hal Newhouser has notched five wins from the Yanks. Bob Swift came out of a collision at the plate with a torn finger nail but should be ready for the club's next American league game Saturday at Chicago . . . the crash was with Mike Miloesvich, who was out trying to score from first on Stirnweiss' double in the third . . after tonight's game at Grand Rap- ids with a western Michigan all-star nine the Tigers play on successive days at Muskegon and Kalamazoo. helping to send Dutch Leonard down for the eighth time. Boston fell before Cleveland, 8-4, but kept second place when the Yankees lost to Detroit by the same score. Tex Hughson's three-game win streak was snapped by Cleve- land's Ray Poat in a relief role and Ernie Bonham's six-game string was broken by Detroit's Dizzy Trout who won his sixteenth. Philadelphia nosed out Chicago, 2-1, as Gordy Maltzberger lost his third game in a relief role to Joe Berry when Buddy Tall tripled and scored on Hal Epps' long fly in the twelfth. The Cardinals and Mort Cooper avenged Monday's beating by Brook- lyn when they walloped the Dodgers, 14-3. Cooper, belted out in three rounds the night before, coasted to win No. 14 behind a 17-hit barrage off Whit Wyatt and four successors. It was Wyatt's first start since June 28 due to arm trouble. Cincinnati pulled out a tight 5-4 game from New York on Ed Heus- ser's fine relief pitching and hit- ting. The Redleg pitcher singled in the ninth and scored the win- ning run to beat Harry Feldman. Frank McCormick drove in four of Cincy's runs. Pittsburgh held a 12-8 lead on Bos- ton when their game was called at the end of the eighth by agreement. It went as a "suspended" game to be completed Sept. 25. Babe Dahlgren drove in six runs with four hits, in- cluding a homer, and Dutch Neiman of Boston hit for the circuit twice. A Chicago-Philadelphia double- header was postponed because of a bus and trolley strike in Philadel- phia. Bond Buyers Only To Watch Boxing Event NEW YORK, Aug. 2-('P)-Friday night's Madison Square Garden 10- rounder between Sidney (Beau Jack) Walker and Bob Montgomery took on a "seat-a-serviceman" tinge to- day as war bond sales for the fourth meeting of the two army privates soared to $13,250,000. The only way you can get in is to buy a war bond but Uncle Mike Jacobs, the promoter who generally is taking instead of shelling out around the fight shows, is fixing it so some of the service men may get in free. Jacobs bought 43 bonds of various sizes today and turned the tickets over to government hospitals to be distributed to wounded service men. Joe Leonard, brother of Benny Leon- ard-the former lightweight king- bought 100 of the $25 bonds and sent his ducats to service men, too. The idea is spreading. The promoter predicted at least 18,000 fans would see the slugfest, at bond prices ranging from $25 to $100,000. No one had an idea as to what the gate might be but Treasury Department officials said they would be as proud of 18,000 purchasers of $125 bonds as they would be if the total soared to $50,000,000. TAKES AFTER THE OLD MAN-Gabby Hartnett. manager of Jersey City, N. J., Giants and former big league catcher, and his 16 year old son, Charles Leo, Jr., watch the Giants work out. Gabby claims Charles can swing a "mean" bat and is big league timber. EVERYBODY HAPPY: Athletics Divide Doubleheader By Taking Opener from Sox CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-(P)-The Phil- adelphia Athletics split a double- header with the Chicago White Sox today to wind up with five victories in their seven-game series. A seven- run spree in the ninth inning gave the A's the opener, 9 to 3, but the Chicagoans banged Don Olack and young Carl Scheib out of the bor with a pair of three run innings to take the second game, 7 to 3. Lum Harris, who was handed his, season's eighth defeat here Sunday in the A's other series loss, took re- venge by minimizing Chicago's 13 hits inbthemopener.Going into the ninth, tied at 2-2, his mates mixed five hits with two Chicago errors to give him his ninth victory. A triple by Bob Estalella and doubles by Joe Burns and Hal Epps were the main blows. Hal Trosky's eighth homer with one on accounted for the first two Sox runs. Johnny Humphries, beaten 3-0 by the A's Sunday when he allowed eight hits in. eight innings, was tagged for ten today before being relieved in the seventh by Gordon Maltzberger, who saved Humphries' fifth victory. Veteran Tony Cuccinello. had a perfect game of four singles for hits in an exhibition twilight game here tonight to defeat the Grand Rapids All-Stars, 6 to 2. Stub Over- mire pitched four hitless innings, while Rufe Gentry allowed but hits when he took over the mound assign- ment in the fifth inning.

LOST: Naval identification card in By HANK MANTHO SOME TIME AGO sports scribes all over the country got wind of the ' return to school of Bob Westfall, Michigan All-American and captain in '42. Since then his name has been mentioned constantly and Michi- gan fans, as well as the critics have been making a lot of speculations as to what the burly fullback will do. After playing three full seasons at Michigan, Westfall entered the Army Air Corps, and was not discharged until last spring. He needed only one more semester of work to get his diploma, so he re-entered Mfichigan. Under the present lack of a rule stating otherwise, Westfall, would again be elegible to play this fall. Shortly after the war began, the Big Ten relaxed its regulations to give military men collegiate competi- tion, and in an endeavor to provide the requisite amount of personnel to keep intercollegiate athletics alive. HOWEVER, it was impossible for Conference officials to see so far ahead, and they did not make provisions for the possibility of civilians partici- pating in some sport for more than three years. Though Westfall has at no time signified his intention of playing his fourth season at Michigan, and the fact that the offer of the Detroit Lion's will lure him to their bailiwick, the possibility of his playing, has brought up an inevitable issue, which will have to be decided sooner or later. Hence, under these circumstances, it would not be at all surpris- ing if the Western Conference faculty committee would soon take a vote on the proposal to limit eligibility of civilian students to the normal three years. In fact, it has already been rumored that all Big Ten coaches are voting on this topic by mail, though there has been no verification to this. At first, this idea of players in more than three years of competition was the exception rather than the rule. As the time passes on, it is more and more becoming the rule. Many four-eff players will be competing in their third season of inter- collegiate football this fall, and unless the three year rule is enforced *by the Conference 'big wigs', these players will be eligible to compete next year, if the war continues. NOW, most of the teams are evenly matched, as a great percentage of former stars who are in the service have gone on to advance bases. However, if this wartime eligibility of players is not limited soon, the competition may again becoml unfair for freshmen and other green hands, who compose the main part of most squads nowadays. If a player has had his three years of intercollegiate competi- tion, his sense of fair and honor should be enough to decide his course of action. When most of the service elevens and some college teams had an array of former professional and collegiate stars, this practice of limiting eligibility could not seriously be taken into cognizance, for coaches then needed all of the manpower which they could muster to maintain their winning ways. But now the tides have changed and there is a certain code of fairness developing in most football camps throughout the country. - The above statement was prompted by the recent actions of two service elevens. In order to meet the level of their collegiate compe- tition, Great Lakes has ruled out all professionals and Iowa Pre-Flight will use. only cadets. IN THE LIGHT of these inspiring events by. these two squads, I feel that it is only right that Conference officials would be right in restricting civilians to three years of play. N. Y. U.
