Dick Wakefield hit a home run for the Tigers with the bases empty in the second inning, and Overmire doubled and scored the other run in the sixth. The defeat dropped the Sox .into seventh place behind the Tigers. In a game played in the amazingly fast time of one hour and 19 minutes, Overmire came mighty close to a no-hitter. Hal Trosky scratched a hit off Rudy York's glove in the sec- ond and Wally Moses scratched one off Joe Hoover's glove in the sixth. None Reach Second Overmire didn't issue a pass, but two other Sox got life on errors. One was erased in' a double play, however, and not a man reached second base against Over mire, who likewise blanked Chicago on June 11, the last time he faced the Sox. The Tigers gathered six hits off bespectacled Bill Dietrich, and the blow that decided the game was a second inning homer by Wakefield, the $52,000 beauty who yesterday re- joined the Tigers after his release from the Navy. Wakefield drove the first pitch into the lower right field stands at the 370-foot mark. Overmire Scores Overmire scored the other run himself. He opened the sixth with a line double to left field. Overmire advanced on Joe Hoover's sacrifice, on which Ray Schalk dropped Diet- rich's throw for an error, and scored on Eddie Mayo's line drive to Wally Moses in right field. Chicago..........000 000 000-0; Detroit..........010 001 00x-2 Dietrich and Turner; Overmire Richards. 22 6 2 and. FOOTBALL COACH "SLIP" MADIGAN of the University of Iowa started making plans for his jaunt from Oakland, California, to Iowa City where he was planning to get underway with summer grid practice, several weeks ago, but as yet has not arrived.' The publicity department at Iowa has been sending press releases in to the Daily quite frequently stating that Madigan's arrival was imminent from the time that the coach originally stated his plans. We viewed the first few letters nonchalantly, but as they kept coming in, giving the various obstacles of the peregrination, we began to take an interest in the matter., Coach Madigan's first plans were altered when he found out that he was unable to acquire train reservations for his four-member family. However, this did not stop the intrepid Madigan, and he decided to make the 2,200 mile trip in his car. The only catch here was that he had to wait several days while the gas rationing board took his case into consideration. After many anxious moments of waiting, he finally secured permission from the ration board to make the trip. Again Madigan and family began hasty preparations for their departure, but these were also quelled when leis daughter Mary, suffered hand and arm burns, which necessi- tated two additional days of delay. THIS TALE OF A TRIP from the Pacific Coast, which might easily be called "Madigan's Progress", supposedly reached its final chapter when Madigan actually got under way. But if he was under the impression that his nightmarish episode had terminated, he should have consulted a fortune teller, for old Jup Pluvis had other plans, and the patient Hawkeye football coach had to wire Director E. G. Schroeder that he hoped to leave Kimball, Nebraska as soon as possible, after being marooned there for two days because of floods, and that is the last word we have had of "Ghost" Madigan. If the green Hawkeye gridders show the same determination that was displayed by their coach, they should surmount every obstacle in their path without too much trouble. The Iowa football schedule only shows an eight-game card, which the athletic department feels is heavy enough for a young squad mainly composed of freshmen. The regular Hawkeye season will not start until October 7 with Ohio State at Columbus, and as this marks the latest opening date for an Iowa football team, all of the other Western Conference football squads will have participated in from one to three games before Iowa's 1944 season opens. This longer period without any games will give the coaching staff a chance to groom their team into the Hawkeye style of play before playing the first two road games. Coach Seeks State Crown Barclay Enters First Match in Two Years William Barclay, assistant Wolver- ine basketball coach and manager ofj the University of Michigan golf course, announced his entrance in the Michigan Open Golf Tournament to be held Aug. 5th and 6th at the Pontiac Orchard Lake course. The tournament which annually draws the best amateurs and profes- sional golfers in the state is expected to see its closest competition in years because of the loss of many golfers to the draft. Watrous Also Entered Coach Barclay is looking forward to this year's tournament, his first in two seasons, both as a warm-up for the coming Tam O'Shanter Na- tional Open at Chicago and as his first large scale competition in re- cent years. Barclay's abilities will be tested by the expert state pros in- cluding Al Watrous, defending cham- pion of last year's match play. "Watrous is the man to beat in this year's tournament", stated Bar- clay. "Like myself he is entering his first tourney this season and will be out to retain his title against all challengers. Has Good Record Coach Barclay will not be playing the Orchard Lake Course for the first time when the tournament be- gins. Two years ago, in his last regular competition he registered a neat average of 74 for four rounds. On his home course, the University of Michigan links, Barclay has main- tained a 72 stroke average on the par 72 Michigan course. Often his scores have droppedsbelow the 70 mark and have never gone above 75. 1 Because of his previous knowledge of the Orchard Lake course, Barclay is confident of turning in a low stroke total and hopeful of bringing the Open title back to the Michigan clubhouse.
