Iq TatUSDAY, JULY 29, 1948 THE MICHIGAN DAILY IAGE HE Tigers Swamp Red Sox 13-0, Halt Win Streak at 13 tl Olympic Games. To Open Today. Crowd of 80,000 Expected To Witness Opening-Day Cereniomies LONDON, July 28-(AP)-The mightiest sports carnival in his- tory will open here tomorrow in colorful ceremonies bringing 5,000 athletes from 59 nations together in Olympic rivalry. Ten minutes of pageantry is all there is of the opening program. The only running will be done by men bearing the symbolic flame on its last lap from Greece. However, a crowd of 80,000 spectators is expected for the show. A cheering weather forecast of "warm and sunny" touched off a last minute rush of ticket buy- ing today as staid old London_ yielded at last to the Olympic fever. Crowds stayed awake to cheer the Olympic torch on its way toward London. The torch landed this evening at Dover after pass- ing through seven countries. If the timing is right it will be borne into the stadium at precise- ly 4:07 p.m. (9:07 a.m., CST) by a runner whose identity was still hidden tonight. His arrival will climax those ten minutes of ceremony into which will be packed all the colorfiul symbolism of the games -preserved through centuries and staged by the world's ac- knowledged masters of pagean- try, the British. King George VI will start the show at 4 p.m.! (9 a.m. C.S.T.) "I proclaim open the Olympic Games of 1948 celebrating the 14th Olympiad of the modern era," he will say. Then 5,000 bright clad athletes from all over the world will file past him in the traditional Olympic parade. Just before the torch bearer races in and circles the bright red running track, 7,000 pigeons will be loosed into the air as symbols of peace, and a 21-gun salute will be fired. The ceremonies ended, the athletes will return to their IBaseball's BigSjx Williams, Red Sox 75 276 108 .391 Musial, Cardinals 90 355 138 .389 Boudreau, Indians 89 334 117 .350 Pafko, Cubs.....86 327 112 .343 Kell, Tigers ......69 275 93 .338 Ashburn, Phillies .91 360 118 .328 } RUNS BATTED IN American League *Di Maggio, Yankees ........85 Stephens, Red Sox..........84 Williams, Red Sox ..........78 National League Mize, Giants ...............97 Musial, Cardinals ..........76 *Kiner, Pirates ............72 Sauer, Reds ................72 I-Al Softball Sore Back Ails Feller CLEVELAND, July 28 - (P) -A bonesetter today said a hardened muscle was the .answer to why Bobby Feller hasn't been able to flash his customary form for the Cleveland Indians this year. A. L. Austin, whom Feller credits with first helping him back in 1937, when he faltered at the be- ginning of his career, also warned that the hurler might be through unless the trouble is corrected. Troubled by Hardened Muscle He said a muscle in the right hander's right shoulder -had hard- ened, probably as the result of over exertion. "It's like a rubber band that has been stretched too far and too much," said Austin, who is li- censed as a limited practitioner in mechano therapy. 3 or 4 Treatments Necessary "My fingers are sensitive and I know how to get down and work on the muscle," he declared. "Three or four treatments should put it back in shape again." Feller, whose record of 20 vic- tories and 11 losses last year con- trasts with 10 wins and 12 defeats this season, first consulted Austin in 1937 when the pitcher was just 18. Doctors Failed A number of physicians and "arm experts" then had failed to solve the mystery of why he wasn't throwing the same assortment of baffling pitches for the Indians that year that he did the season before.. "There is not the slightest doubt that Austin helped me," Feller said. "Before I went to him my elbow hurt every time I threw the ball. "He popped something and within 24 hours I was as good as ever." Visit Routine Feller denied today that his lat- est visit was anything more than routine and said there was noth- ing wrong with his arm. "I've been going to Austin in- termittently for years," he ex- plained. "I went to him in 1946 when I was going good. I just wanted a checkup, the same as I did Monday." Major Lea ue Standings Yesterday's Results Brooklyn 12, St. Louis 4 New York 5, Cincinnati 0 Philadelphia 9, Chicago 4 Pittsburgh at Boston (night) NATIONAL LEAGUE. Trout Hurls Six-Hitter; Evers, Vico Lead Attack DETROIT, July 28-(IP)-The Detroit Tigers put a violent end today to the 13-game winning streak of the Boston Red Sox, shelling three pitchers for 18 hits to submerge the American League leaders 13 to 0. Paul (Dizzy) Trout stifled the Sox with six scattered singles- three of them by Dominic DiMaggio-as the Tigers pounded the Bostons to their worst lacing of the year. The loss was the first for Joe McCarthy's gang since Detroit won a 3 to 1 decision in Boston July 17. But even in defeat the Red Sox clung to first place by a narrow margin of four percentage points over the Philadelphia Athletics,, who climbed back into second by. beating Cleveland. Trout, collaring the Bosox with their fifth shutout loss of the season, permitted only one runner to go as far as third base and two fanned four and walked three as he levelled his season record at 10 wins and 10 setbacks. KING GEORGE VI .opens Games * , , , camps to await the opening of competition on Friday morning. America's powerful contingent of men and women stars gathered at Uxbridge tonight to rehearse their part in the parade and to decide in what order the various teams will march. A final survey of the several American training camps failed to turn up a single injury or illness of any importance. Uncle Sam's athletes have reached a peak of form and condition after a week's intensive traiping under a hot sun, and they will have no alibis. Ted Williams Still Out of BostonLineup DETROIT, July 28 - (,P) - Thumpin' Ted Williams, king pin of the Boston Red Sox batting as- sault, was out of the lineup with a lame knee today as the American League leaders bowed to the De- troit Tigers 13 to 0 after taking 13 straight games. Hit on Knee Sunday Williams worked out in the out- field before the game but limped perceptibly from effects of a blow on the inside of his right knee last Sunday, when he was hit by one of Steve Gromek's pitches in the Cleveland series. "It isn't exactly a bruise - seems to be more in the bone than on a muscle," Williams said as he hobbled in from fielding practice. "It's painful; hurts me every time I walk, and I don't know how long it might keep me out of the lineup." May Play Thursday Trainer Ed Froelich of the Red Sox also wouldn't guess when Williams, currently batting .391, might return to action. He had hoped he might play in Thursday night's game here but it appears doubtful. Williams was sidelined 18 days by a pulled cartilege in his side and got back in the Boston lineup only last Friday from that layoff. Sunday Gromek nailed him and he went out again. Detroit, meanwhile, got away to a 3-0 first inning lead off Denny' Galehouse and scored five more runs in the second, two of them on second base- man Eddie Cake's second homer of the season. After Galehouse took his de- parture, charged with his fifth loss of the year, Detroit continued the rampage at the expense of Dave (Boo) Ferriss and Rookie Charley Stobbs. Tiger center fielder Hoot Evers drove in three runs with three singles and a double amd George Vico had three singles. Lake and Vic Wertz also reached first safely four times as the Tigers staged a veritable merry- go-round on the bases. Lake led off the opening in- ning with a walk and after Vico flied out Eddie scampered to third on George Kell's single to left. Lake scored when Gale- house fumbled Wertz's tap back to the mound and two more runners crossed the plate on Evers' double into the left field corner. Pat Mullin and Johnny Lipon lifted successive flies to, end the first inning but the Tigers teed off again in the second, sending 10 men to bat and scoring five times. Trout and Wertz both fumbled, Lake smashed his homer and Vico, Evers and Mullin chipped in with singles in the big frame, fashioned at the expense of Galehouse and Ferriss. Four singles and a hit batsman (Mullin) produced a three-run cluster in the sixth to chase Fer- riss, who complained of a twisted right ankle. Two passes and two singles were worth two more tallies off Stobbs in the seventh.

Boost Cuyler To Replace Steve O'Neill SAGINAW, Mich., July 28-(P) -Petitions urging appointment of Hazen (Kiki) Cuyler as manager' of the Detroit Tigers in place of Steve O'Neill will begin circulating' in three cities Friday. George Killmaster, Chesaning High School athletic director, said he would start the petitions here, in Chesaning and in Flint. Native of Harrisville Killmaster is a native of Harris- ville, Mich., home town of Cuyler. The man he backs for Tiger manager was a star major league outfielder for Pittsburgh, the Chi- cago Cubs and Cincinnati over a 13-year span. He is now managing Atlanta in the Southern Associa- tion. Killmaster said he assumed O'Neill's contract will not be re- aewed in 1949. No Change Says Evans In Detroit General Manager BROOKCYN, July 28-(A)- The Brooklyn Dodgers, in a clubhouse meeting, today voted to recommend a salary and sus- pension penalty for selected players who do not participate in the annual All-Star game. The meeting was an out- growth of the non-appearance of several stars at the classic in St. Louis recently after they had been chosen. The Brooklyn players agreed1 that the penalty should be a two weeks loss of salary plus a two weeks suspension. Billy Evans of the Tigers said the club "has given no thought to making a managerial change next season." "There isn't a word of truth to rumors that Cuyler has been offered Steve O'Neill's job," Evans said. Except for a single instance, the Tigers have adhered to a policy of handling their manag- erial affairs between seasons. The only recent exception was the shift that sent Del Baker into Mickey Cochrane's post in the middle of the 1938 campaign. i ---..! (By The Associated Press) CHICAGO, July 28 - Marmno Pierretti turned in a six hitter against his former Washington Senator teammates before 3,168 persons today to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 2-1 triumph. It was the tiny righthander's sixth victory against three losses since coming to Chicago in ex- change for pitcher Earl Harrist. * * * NEW YORK, July 28 - The New York Giants tied the St. Louis Cardinals for third place in the National League Pennant race today as Clint Hartung pitched the Giants to a 5-4 vic- tory over the Cincinnati Reds while the Cards were trounced by Brooklyn. Hartung pitched one of the best games of his career, limit- ing the Reds to three singles. After Frankie Baumholtz singled in the first and 'Hank Sauer in the second, Hartung held the Reds hitless until Grady Hatton whacked a one-bagger to right in the eighth. * * * PHILADELPHIA, July 28-The Philadelphia Phillies cut loose with a barrage of extra base hits, including three home runs, as they defeated the Chicago Cubs 9-4 today. In chalking up their first victory under Manager Eddie Sawyer, the Phils broke a 4-4 tie in the eighth inning with a five-run attack. Two of the runs crossed the plate on Richie Ashburn's triple and three on Del Ennis' 16th homer of the season. * * * CLEVELAND, July 28- The Philadelphia Athletics gained an even break in their two-game series with the Cleveland In- dians today by pushing two un- earned runs across in the eighth inning to beat Bob Lemon 4 to 3. The Tribe pounded tall Dick Fowler's right-hand offerings for 10 safeties, including Allie Clark's fourth homer of the sea- son, which came after Lemon doubled in the third. But a misjudgement by cen- terfield Larry Doby on Don White's fly in the eighth cost two runs and enabled Fowler to chalk up his 10th victory against two defeats. BROOKLYN, July 28 - The Brooklyn Dodgers today routed the St. Louis Cardinals 12-4, to solidify their grip on second place in the National League. The Cards dropped into a third place tie with New York. Every Dodger regular hit safely as the Brooks assaulted four Car- dinal pitchers for 15 hits includ- ing Tommy Brown's sec ondq homer of the season. Brooklyn sewed up the game in the fifth, scoring eight times after two were out against Ted Wilks and Red Munger. DIZZY TROUT ..blanks Sox games, was the worst of the year for the Red Sox on several counts. Detroit's 18 hits, including three double sand a home run, were the most off Boston pitching this year, exceeding the 16 blows collected on one occasion by the Browns. The worst previous ,defeat for the McCarthymen was a 13 to 4 loss to Cleveland. The same clubs close out their three-game series here tomorrow night in another 9 p.m. (EST) clash under the lights. Jack Kra- mer drew the pitching assignment for the Sox, facing Detroit's Virgil Trucks.
