seize their fifth straight one-run vic-
tory.
Detroit thus extended its winning
streak to six games and took scle
possession of fourth place from the
Cleveland Indians who lost to Wash-
ington. It was Philadelphia's eighth
successive defeat.
The Tigers spotted Newhouser, who
has lost six games, a three run early
lead, but the A's fought backto tie
the count in the fifth. York took
charge in the sixth by belting Chris-
topher's first pitch into the lower
left field stands.
Gets Out of Tough Hole
In the ninth, the A's filled the
bases with one out in a desperate
attempt to win. Dick Siebert flied
to medium deep left field and Wake-
field's accurate throw nailed Ford
Garrison at the plate for a game end-
ing double play."
Detroit took a one run lead in
the second inning on successive sin-
gles by Pinky Higgins, Chuck Hostet-
ler and Paul Richards. Two runs fol-
lowed in the third when Newhouser
singled, Joe Hoover walked, Eddie
Mayo sacrificed and Roger Cramer,
celebrating his 38th birthday, looped
a single to center.
Estalella Slams Homer
Base running seemed to take some.,
thing out of Newhouser, however.
Estalella opened the fourth with a
homer to the upper right field
stands. Three singles followedtbut
Richards saved Newhouser further
trouble by picking Frank Hayes off
second base just before George Kell
lined up a single to left.
In the fifth Eddie Busch and Gar-
rison beat out bunts to Higgins and
Estalella singled one run home. Aft-
er Hayes popped, Siebert singled to
tie the score. Higgins then made a
great stop on Bill McGhee to retire
the side.
After York's homer, Newhouser got
along much better until the ninth.
With one out Garrison, Estalella and
Hayes singled to fill the bases. Then
came Siebert's fly and Wakefield's
throw.
The two clubs meet in a double
header tomorrow with Johnny Gor-
slca and Frank Overmire facing Don
Black and Jesse Flores of the A's
on the mound.

" -"".".
WITH their home opener against Iowa Pre-Flight only a few months off,
Michigan football fans are starting to turn their attention in that di-
rection.
The last time that these two teams met was in the early part of the
1942 campaign, when the Wolverines lost a 28-14 decision to the star-
studded Pre-Flight school. At that time, the Iowans, under the tutelage
of Coach Bernie Bierman, former Minnesota mentor, were hailed as one
of the greatest teams in the country, having romped over their previous
opponents with mammoth scores.
And when this array of collegiate and professional stars entered
Ferry Field stadium, they were ruled as nre-game favorites over the
Maize and Blue. However, Wolverine followers were electrified when
their squad started making huge gains through the Pre-Flight forward
wall. And before the astonished spectators could believe their eyes,
Michigan had taken a commanding 14- lead, which looked as if Coach
"Fritz" Crisler was finally going to conquer his old nemesis, Bierman, after
all of these years.
HOWEVER, the undaunted Fliers came back with a vengeance. The
frequent substitutions made by Bierman in .the line was too much for
the valiant efforts of Michigan's famed "Seven Oak Posts," who had to
play the full game, and they capitulated before the terrific onslaught of
the Pre Flighters.
This year will be a different story, for all of the past stars have
dwindled considerably, and Lt. Comdr. Jack Meagher, of the Hawk-
eyes, will have to mould a team around the so-called youngsters.
Thus, when these two schools meet, it will be on a more equal basis
than it was the last time.
At the beginning of the Seahawk's summer football practice, the per-
sonnel soared into three figures, but was immediately cut by Coach Meagher.
This was done because of the utter lack of experience and in order to assure
more time to the definite prospects.
THE CADETS who reported were in perfect condition as a result of their
training in the program, and the former Auburn mentor was able to
start scrimmaging on the third day.
"They are about what I expected," Lt. Comdr. Meagher .commented
after the first week of practice. "There are few boys present with
anything more than high school experience, and many have not had
that, but there are some big youngsters and I would say that we rate
about the same as any college squad carrying on under war time
conditiorrs. That is with the exception of schools who draw from
service students such as Michigan, Northwestern, Purdue and Notre
Dame."
When I read the above quote, tears welled in my eyes for the inevitable
plight of the Seahawks-that is, until I read the last line concerning the
"schools who draw from service students." It then seemed to this scribe
that Meagher was laying it on a bit thick, and maybe making a few
excuses ahead of time, just in case.
AS HAS BEEN STATED on numerous occasions, most of the great stars
have gone. When Michigan was blessed with former stars, the Sea-
hawks were also for there was a continual shift of military personnel.
And the schools that were fortunate enough to have the aid of Navy and
Marine trainees, were fairly equally matched in strength, as attested by the
records of Notre Dame, Michigan, Iowa Pre-Flight, Purdue and Great
Lakes last year.
In the light of these statements, I would say that the Iowans are
rated "about the same as any college squad carrying on under war
time conditions," barring exceptions.
CADET LYLE DOWNING, who played right halfback for Lt. Don Faurot,
at Missouri, is one of the most promising backs on the squad. Prior to
his college days, he was state's sprint champion while attending St. Louis
Southwest High, and he should add plenty of speed to the depleted Pre-
Flight attack.
This, plus the fact that Lt. Comdr. Meagher's basic plays already dealt
out hinge around the T formation, which carried the Seahawks' to the
number 2 position in the nation last year, in losing only to Notre Dame
14-13, should be ample warning to all elevens that the Pre-Flighter's will
be able to hold their own against all comers.

Midland Country Clubs
MIDLAND, MICH., July 22-(AP)
-A field of 25 golfers will tee off
tomorrow at the Midland Country
Club in quest of the 23rd annual
Michigan PGA championship. Al
Watrous, seven time former winner,
and Sam Byrd, both of Detroit, are
co-favorites.
The only other former champion in
the field will probably be Joe Bel-
fore of Detroit, two-time winner. The

ret of Detroit, who posted a two

three-shot edge over Watrous, is in
