lvii 1 . ams' Two Homers Pace American Leaguers to 12 k I By The Associated Press BOSTON, July 9-rTed Williams and the other young men of the Ameri- can League administered a humiliating defeat to the National League at Fenway Park today, following the script right out of window as they ham- mered their hapless opponents into abject submission by 12 to 0, the most one-sided licking in the history of the All-Star baseball tussle. Just as they figured to do, the Americans dazzled their interleague rivals with such pitching, as they had not seen in a coon's age, and rattled their teeth with a tremendous 14-hit attack that included three home runs, two of them by Williams and one by Charley Keller. A shout that must have been heard out around Bunker Hill was saved for the eighth enning, when Rip Sewell, the fourth National ILeague chuck- er, made the mistake of tossing one of his "blooper" balls to Williams with Residence Softball Loop, Tennis PlayBegin Today Other Softball Leagues See Action Tomorrow; Golf Tourney Opens with Medal Play Saturday * * * BOSTON, July 9-,Facts and figures on today's All-Star base- ball game at Fenway Park: STANDINGS- American Lea- gue won nine, National League four.

The last time anybody saw the sphere it was bouncing around in the National League bullpen in right field. With Feller, Hal Newhouser and finally Jack Kramer cracking the ball past them in three-inning stints, the Nationals never had a chance of get- ting an attack started. Two of their three hits were infield scratches off Feller. Their only solid blow was delivered by Peanuts Lowrey of the Chicago Cubs in the sixth inning, when he slapped a clean single to center off New- houser with two out. After the first inning they never got a man past first. The Americans, on the other hand, thrived on their opponents' chuck- ing right from the start. It was no later than the first inning when Keller laid into one of Claude Passeau's pitches with Williams on base and sailed it into the rightfield bullpen. In the light of what happened later, they could have called the game right there. In addition to his two mighty round-trippers-the first one in the fourth inning landed high up in the center-field bleachers--Williams weighe with a brace of singles and walked in his five trips to the plate. Although he was charged with the defeat, Passeau was about the of the four National League throwers. The winners really went to I against Kirby Higbe, slugging the Dodger righthander from the hill in fifth, when they scored three times. They Jarred Ewell Blackwell, the y Cincinnati righty, for two more in the seventh and wound up with fou Sewell in the eighth. Even Newhouser and Kramer joined in the fun, getting a solid knock. A total of 42 players participated in the one-sided affair, 21 on side. Shortstop Marty Marion of the Cardinals was the only National guer to go the full route, and only Williams and Keller played out the sl for the Americans.

ABD TRABOULSI ... Director of Athletics at the American University of Beirut, Lebanon, is shown second from left with Red Barber, baseball announcer, Commissioner "Happy" Chandler and Branch Rickey, President of the Brooklyn Dodgers, before attending his first professional baseball game as guest of the Dodgers. Hoping to introduce American baseball to his native Lebanon in the near future, Mr. Traboulsi is spending his suntmler at the Uni- versity of Michigan taking courses in the Physical Education Department. * * * * * * * * A bd Tra boo isi, Beirut Sports Direetor CarriesMichignSpito Near East BEFORE THE START of the current campaign, no Detroit fan wold have been rash enough to suggest that the All-Star Classic could take place without Dick Wakefield k omewhere in the American League outfield- but it happened and there were no wails of protest in the Motor City because of it. The wails emanating from Detroit on the subject of Wakefield hav been directed against and not in behalf of the lanky left-fielder. In the eyes of the self styled "most loyal fans in baseball," Wakefield is the bigges flop since Benny McCoy, the $100,000 bust. On the strength of half a season's play, Wakefield's fizzle has been the favorite topic of conversation of Detroit fans throughout Michi- gan. Quite probably the loudest anti-Wakefield noise has come from the same Briggs Stadium customers who. day after day greet Hank Greenberg with healthy jeers. Despite the fact that Wakefield is currently sporting an unimpressiv .246 batting average, his equally unimpressive RBI total of 25 is seconc only to Hank Greenberg's 55. His anemic batting average is four point below that of Pat Mullin and Doc Cramer, and is considerably higher than Eddie Lake's 219, Roy Cullenbine's 216, or Anse Moore's 214. The failure of Wakefield to hit within 70 points of pre-season expecta tions is not at all unique on this Tiger ball club. IF YOU want to know what's wrong with Wakefield there is a new em ployee of the Detroit Football Lions who can probably make a might accurate guess. He is Bill DeCorrevant, the ex-Northwestern gridder. After a sensational high school career, DeCorrevant matriculated tc Northwestern amid the most tremendous pre-season ballyhoo ever accord6 a college footballe. For three seasons Bill turned in a brand of ball the would have been good enough for anyone else, but because he wasn't . second Red Grange after all the buildup the entire sports world felt cheated Not since DeCorrevant's Prep days has any such relatively unpro- ven athlete been subjected to such a campaign of ballyhoo. Instead of recognizing Wakefield as a fine natural hitter whose two seasons of war- time baseball stamped him as one of the most promising youngsters in the, game, Detroit sports writers insisted on classifying him with Ted. Williams. Of course classifying him with Williams is as ridiculous as an eve money bet on the Louis-Conn fight. Wakefield has not yet reached his peal may never reach it. To date the only similarity between the two is, th mutual lack of interest in playing the outfield. Detroit fans would hay forgotten about Wakefield's fielding if he had come through at the plati but such has not been the case. All this business of Detroit's fandom being something extra-special H. G. Salsinger of the Detroit News notwithstanding, is something out o Grimm's (not Charlie) Fairy Tales. Like fans everywhere else the Brigg Stadium mob rides along with a winner and loses patience with out of tk money favorites like Wakefield. An indication of'this is seen in the currently popular idea that Wake field will be back in the lineup as soon as the Tigers get on the road an out of hearing distance from the home town's loyal fans. So if you're looking for a convenient peg on which to hang Dick Wakk field's flop, the columns of your favorite Detroit newspaper are very hanrdy After reading the pre-season communiques from Detroit an exasperate Boston Red Sox rooter summed up the whole Wakefield situation with single question," Do you think Ted Williams will ever be another Dick Wak4 field?" -- Returns to Campus for Summer Study Under. Wolverine Coaches; Explains Syrian Program By JACK MARTIN I12-Year Old :' One of the most dynamic personalities to hit the Michigan sports scene in a long time has enrolled this summer in the special Physical Education classes taught by the University's varsity coaches. He is Abd Traboulsi, director of athletics at the American University of Beirut in the Lebanon. It's a return visit for Mr. Traboulsi, who came to Ann Arbor in 1931 to study the University's athletic system. During the intervening decade he has succeeded in transplanting much of the competitive spirit of Ameri- can sports into his native Near East. Fearing that he may miss some new developments which the war injected into athletics, Mr. Traboulsi decided to come once more to Michigan for what he terms a "refresher course in coaching and con- ditioning of athletes and equipment." Mr. Traboulsi is very vigorous in his praise of the Michigan coaching staff. He names them the principle source from which he drew ideas for the establishment and organization of the Beirut athletics program. Well apart, from the factual subject matter they teach, however, he declares he gets from their lectures and conversation a catch phrase here and there which seems to grasp perfectly the fundamental purpose of athletics. "A coach's value is in his expressions," he maintains. "While he is talking to a group of men he will let fall a chance phrase which many overlook, but which actually expresses in a few ringing words the essence of American sports. I make it my job to collect those phrases." As an example he mentioned something that Dr. George May told him when he was here in 1931. "Doc" May was the guiding spirit of Michigan intramural athletics for years, and Mr. Traboulsi declared he was inspired more by him, probably than any other one man. "He said to me then," the Beirut director continued, "'You shall be happy only when you have achiev- ed the highest possible per cent of participation in your sports program. That is what you are working for'. I have remembered that always; it is still my guiding priciple."' That all the things he has picked up in this country have been put into excellent practice can be seen by a look at the record. As director of the Beirut program he works with 2,500 students of 40 different na- tionalities and 30 religions. The basis of his intramural work is a system of required participation in sports. Every students that attends the University must pass a prescribed course in athletics. If he fails it during his freshmen year, he must repeat it during the sophomore semesters. A second failure will automatically make him ineligible to continue in school. Another feature of his program is the awarding of All-Round Athlete medals to those who qualify. To win the coveted prize a student must equal a set standard in eleven events. He must run 110 yards in 13 seconds, the half mile in 3 minutes, heave the shot put 33 feet and throw the javelin 120 feet, high jump 4ft. 11 in. and broad jump 17 feet, swim 55 yards free style and 30 yards under water, kick a soccer ball 150 feet through the air, throw a field hockey ball 200 feet, and perform 13 chins. Upsets Champs In Golf Match DENVER, July 9-(P)-Smashing victories by the favorites and an unofficial record-breaking tour of the Denver Country Club's first nine by WAC Capt. Pat Grant of Cush- ing, Okla., highlighted the first match round of the Women's Transmis- ssisippi Golf Tournament today. The sun-browned Oklahomian, now stationed at Fort Lewis, Wash., whizzed up the outgoing fairways in 32, six under par and two strokes better than the women's course re- cord for the front nine held by pro-, fessional Patty Berg of Minneapolis. The tournament baby, 12-year- old Marlene Bauer of Long Beach, Calif., who startled galleryites yes- terday with a qualifying score of 79, advanced with a 2 and 1 over Mrs. E. M. Hyman of Denver, for- mer Colorado women's champion. Victim of Captain Grant's siz- zling performance, which was three under men's par, was Mary Lou Ba- ker of Salt Lake City, who found her- self 8 down and hopelessly beaten at the turn. Only one more hole was necesaary as the WAC star posted her eighth birdie of the match to win 9 and 8. Miss Baker took 41 for the first nine and finished with a par on the tenth. o ;;; 1 ) o<=:>o<;, Diamonds and Wedding 18O8 RINGS 717 North University Ave: %--c 0 ( nc) 0 1 For HAPPY HAIR EXCLUSIVELY MUSIC RECOsRDiS Phonographs, Radios and GOOD GROOMING We Have Genuine , . -. ; "r w.
