Virgil "Fire" Trucks shut out
the Philadelphia Athletics with
four singles yesterday and the De-
troit Tigers pounded three pitch-
ers for 15 safeties and a 13-0
victory.
George Kell, who had three hits,
slammed his fourth home run of
the year and Eddie Lake his tenth,
each with none on base.
Lefty Ed Lopat brought the New
York Yankee's slugging carnival
to an abrupt halt with a neatly-
pitched three-hit victory over the
league leaders to give Chicago a
2-1 victory.
Halting Joe DiMaggio's hitting
streak after 13 straight games,
Lopat lost his shutout on Tommy
Henrich's 13th homer in the four-
th, The only other Yank hits were
singles by pitcher Bill Bevens in
the third and George Stirnweiss
in the sixth.
Ted Williams collected two
homers and Jake Jones one, each
with one on base, as the Boston
Red Sox collected 16 hits to
smother the St. Louis Browns, 12-
1. Pitcher Joe Dobson won his
12th victory, walking none, fan-
ning five and holding the Browns
!to six hits.
Nats Win 5th Straight
The Washington Senators scor-
ed their fifth straight win today
by defeating Cleveland 8-4 and
moved into fifth place in the
American League. Cleveland fell
back to sixth place.
Brooklyn continued its scorch-
ing ,pace through the west by
racking up a seventh straight vic-
tory at Pittsburgh's expense yes-
terday, 6-4, building up a safe lead
against next week's invasion of
St. Louis.
Hooks Iott, whose only Nation-
al League accomplishment seems
to be an ability to beat Chicago,
earned . his second decision for
New York by a 7-3 edge over the
Cubs who were his two-hit shut-
t '

out victims June 24, his only
previous win.
The loss shoved the Cubs into
sixth place, a fraction of a per-
centage point behind Cincinnati
which shut out Philadelphia, 1-0
on Bucky Walters' two-hitter. The
37-year-old vet who had been
knocked out of the box in his last
five starts, allowed only a single
by Emil Verban in the eighth, and
a triple by Harry Walker in the
fourth inning of the contest which
was completed in the fast time
of one hour 28 minutes.
The St. Louis Cardinals and
Boston Braves clubbed away at
each other's pitchers with 22 hits
- nine for extra bases - but the
Redbirds pushed across enough
runs to triumph, 9 to 5.

By IRWIN ZUCKER
Tommy Harmon will "get into the act" with Jimmy Durante start-
ing October 1. The former All-American Wolverine gridder will have
a regular short sports spot on Durante's radio show . . . Michigan
State's post-war football stadium won't be ready until the fall of
'48 . , . Pete Appleton, 42-year-old hurler for the Buffalo Bisons who
starred at Michigan two decades ago, thinks "another season will wind
up old Pete with baseball." He played with Cleveland, Red Sox, White
Sox, Washington and Browns in his 16-year tour of the majors, but
he has one big regret. "I always wanted to play with the Detroit
Tigers," complained Appleton.

Prof. Donal Haines of the Journalism Department, an ardent
angler for many years, observes that bass fishing with flies and
other surface baits has been below normal to date throughout
the state. "At the same time," he notes, "those who have fished
in deep water with worms or minnows for panfish have had no
great trouble in catching their limit of 15 fish, with a good per-
centage of large fish" . . . Prof. Haines suspects that an unusual
distribution of food supply in waters may be the reason for the
poor bass fishing.

A new spacious clubroom for "M" members at Yost Field House
is expected to be ready for use this fall . ..Galloping George Taliaferro,
triple-threat backfield star who paced Indiana to its first Western
Conference title in 46 years in 1945, has returned to the Hoosier cam-
pus after 18 months of Army service. He played with the strong Camp
Lee (Va.) Travellers last year - a squad that also included three
Wolverines from the '45 eleven: Walt Teninga, George Chiames, and
Al Wahl. .. Jim Hunt, newly-appointed head trainer at Michigan who
served in a similar role at Minnesota from 1942 through 1946, also
engaged in physical therapy work last year at St. Paul, Minn.

AAU Outdoor

Top Swimmers
Michigan Enters
Big Swim Event
TYLER, Tex., July 26-()-The
greatest collection of swimming
stars in more than a decade is
expected here next week-end for
the National AAU Men's Iutdoor
meet with at least two world rec-
ords and several American marks
due to tumble before the field of
150 splashers.
It will require four nights to
complete the meet although the
first night, Thursday, will be giv-
en over only to the 1500-meter
free-style preliminaries. However,
these trials will receive consider-
able attention because it is the
1500 meters that is expected to
produce a world's mark from six-
teen-year-old Jimmy McLane of
New Haven, Conn., Swim Club.
The record is 18:58.8, made by
T. Amano of Japan in 1938 and
McLane, who did 19:23.1 last year
to set the National AAU record,
has been consistently beating Am-
ano's mark this season.
Hawaii University, defending
outdoor team champion, and Ohio
State University, 1947 indoor title-
holders, already have their swim-
mers here taking work-outs. Oth-
er team entries include University
of Michigan, University of Iowa,
University of Oklahoma, Okla-
homa City YMCA, San Francisco
Olympic Club, Canada, Pasadena
(Calif.) Athletic Club, New Hav-
en Swim Club and the Mexican
Swimming Federation.
One of the defending champ-
ions is Harry Holiday, Michigan,
holder of the 100-meter backstroke
and 300-meter individual medley
title.
Crossley Putts
Way to Public
Links Crown
MINNEAPOLIS, July 26-UP)-
Blonde Wilfred Crossley of At-
lanta, Ga., the man with the auto-
matic putter, today won the Na-
tional Public Links Championship
by pouring on the heat to match
the 97 degree temperature. He de-
feated Avery Beck of Raleigh, N.
C., 6 and 5, over the Meadowbrook
Municipal course.
A pair of long putts - each of
them 30 feet - put the clincher
on Crossley's victory. They came
on the 28th and 30th holes. His
long putt on the 28th gave him a
par four and Beck missed a 12-
foot putt for a five. They halved
the 29th in par fours.
The last long putt of the day
gave Crossley a birdie three to
Beck's four. It was one of three
birdies scored by Crossley during
the 31 holes. Beck conceded a
short putt on the 31st, ending the
match. Both scored par 3's.
After the match, Crossley said
that he became sure of victory on
the 23rd. He dropped a long putt
after getting into trouble in some
trees and making a good recovery.
They halved that hole, each tak-
ing one putt.
Crossley said his best shot of the
week-long tourney was his second
on the 29th today.

IN ALL PROBABILITY:
U.S. Olympic Officials Will
Accept 1948 Bid Tomorrow
NEW YORK, July 26-(1P)-A decision to invade Europe in 1948
with 500 athletes backed by $475,000 will be made formally Monday
when the United States Olympic committee meets here.
This country has not as yet accepted the invitation to compete in
the renewal of the Olympic games but that is only a technicality. The
real problems before the committee concern transportation and finan-
cing.
The composition of the powerful American team is also no great
worry. Spring and summer per-

When the Fraternity League
All-Stars take the field against
the top men in the Independent
loop at South Ferry Field Tues-
day night at 6:15 sharp, the
Greek letter men will be seeking
to avenge a 4-2 set-back which
they suffered at the hands of the
Residence Hall All-Stars in last
year's mid-summer twinkle clas-
sic.
Meanwhile, t h e Independent
squad, .,idle last year because of
a round-robin schedule which al-
lows only two of the three leagues
to participate in the annual af-
fair, will be out to start things
off right with a victory.
Managers' Selections
Managers and coaches for the
All-Star squads were selected by
the team managers in each loop.
Al Becker, SAE, was named to
lead the fraternity team into the

fray, and he will be assisted by
coaches John Hubbard, DKE and
Don Van Winkle, Theta Xi.
The Independent's brain trust
will be composed of Manager Joe
Hession of the Law Club, and Jim
Holgate, Hardrocks and Jerry Hor-
owitz of the Foulballers who will
serve in the coaching boxes.
Pitcher's Battle Ahead
The contest is rapidly shaping
up into what promises to be a
real pitcher's battle. Both man-
agers have four top-notch hurlers
from which to select, and because
of a ruling which prohibits one
pitcher from working the whole
game, the sluggers will be called
upon to face a wide variety of de-
liveries.
Manager Hession of the Inde-
pendents has indicated that he
will send Dick Nicholas of the
Law Club to the mound to start
the ball game.
The Fraternity League is ex-
pected to counter with Jarold
Wingeart who has put together
a neat 4 and 1 record for Lambda
Chi Alpha. As an ace in the hole,
Manager Bedker is holding Psi U
ace, John Watkins, who tuned up
for this contest by twirling a no-
hitter against the Delts last week.
The Independents will add a bit
of varsity flavor to the classic by
sending Bill McKieche of the Vet-
erans to center field. McKieche
won a reserve award with Ray
Fisher's baseballers last spring.
Other "M" men who will see ac-
tion with the free-lance outfit are
Kurt Kampe, husky fullback, who
will hold down second base, Gene
Derricotte, speedy halfback, will
go to left field, and Hercules Ren-
da, who cavorted in the Wolverine
backfield during the Harmon era,
will handle the third base duties.

Turf Experts
Call "Cover Up'
Time Fastest
INGLEWOOD, Calif., July 26-
(P)-Turf experts today described
the time of 2 minutes flat by Cov-
er Up in winning the $1,000.00
Hollywood Gold Cup as the fasta-
est electrically timed mark for a
.mile an(, one quarter.
St. A~ndrews II was clocked at
1:59 d-5 at Brighton, England, in
1939 for the distance, but the re-
cor has been disputed because
pa'. t of the race over a horse-shoe
shaped course was downhill.
The American record of 2 min-
utes flat, registered by Whisk
Broom II at Belmont Park in 1913,
was hand-timed and has been dis-
puted over the years.

formances all down the line, with
the possible exception of women's
track and field, show that the
United States will have at London
next year another of its great
Olympic teams.
The last games were in 1.936 in
Berlin. The 1940 games were or-
iginally set for Tokyo and later
shifted to Helsinki. World War
II enforced a long postponement
and resulted in awarding the 1948
games to London.
Discussing the problems of
transportation, Dan Ferris, com-
mittee member from the Ama-
tur Athletic Union, declared,
"There is some sentiment for
flying over. But we would have
better team spirit if we went
by boat. We have made con-
but this would not be practic-
able unless it were one of the
tacts for an Army transport,
better ones."
FTrom 75 to 100 athletes will be
sent to the winter games in St.
Moritz, Switzerland, Jan. 30- Feb.
8, 1948. The Olympic games in
London July 29-Aug. 14 will draw
a team of 400 to 450 men and
women.
A tentative budget of $475,000
has been worked out, which is
50 per cent above that required
in 1936.
Make-up of the track and field
team will not even be considered
until the final trials next year,
but there will be no ban on in-
formal discussions. The single
mood is one of extreme optimism.
"In the men's events we appear
to have the class of the world ex-
cept possibly in the distances, and
the hop, step, and jump," said
Ferris. "Our women so far are
rather disappointing. Russia is
apt to clean up there if she com-
petes."
"There have been great per-
formances everywhere t h i s
spring in the United States,"
said Asa S. Bushnell, secretary
of the Olympic committee. "Our
team should be as good or bet-
ter than those in the past.'"
There is no team championship
in the Olympics, with each event
considered on a separate basis.

Sellers .Leads
Michigan Open
At Mid-Point
BATTLE CREEK, July 26-(P).
-Gib Sellers, hefty Albion golfer-
farmer, led the Michigan Open
golf scramble to the halfway mark
today with a two-under-par 69-
'73-142 at Battle Creek Country
Club with about half the big field
of 166 players still on the course
playing their second round.
Sellers one-over-par 36-37-73
today, combined with his opening
sub-par round of 69, enabled him
to overhaul Bob Gajda of Detroit,
the first day leader, who tacked a
75 onto his opening 68 for 143, a
stroke back.
Gajda was deadlocked with Nick
Weslock, smooth-putting Detroit
amateur, who fired a superb 33-
36-69 on top of his first round
74.
Well up with the leaders was
Hal Whittington, red-haired Mid-
land pro, who also came up with
a 34-35-69 today for a halfway
total of 145.
That was another stroke in front
of a quart of early-bird 146's by
Jim Barfield of Grand Rapids,
Reggie Myles of East Lansing and
Art Pomy of Mt. Clemens, all
pros, and amateur John Naglich
of Wyandott.
