THE MICHIGAN IILY A laschi Continues Mastery Over I .<-,> JUS' KEEPS ROLLING: Ancient Appling Closes In OnShortstop's Mark CHICAGO - () - At an age when most baseball players are thumbing through their scrap- books in an easy chair, 40-year- old Luke Appling is hustling to- ward a major league shortstop rec- ord. Old Aches-and-Pains, as the ever-complaining Appling is fond- ly called, has less than 20 games to go to surpass the record mark of Rabbit Maranville, which has stood for 18 years. MARANVILLE was at shortstop in 2,153 games from 1912 through 1931, except 1924 when he was out of action. Luke, a Chicago White Sox headliner since coming up from Atlanta in 1930, will need only 17 seasons of play to top Rab- bit's mark. Appling, in the Army in 1944 and '45, figures the new record will be booked about Au- gust 4, and he is certain the baling wire which he insists is holding him together will last that lo g. "I do 't see how anything will keep me from that record," drawls loose-join ed, leathery faced Ap- pling. "I don't plan to stub my toe or anything like that and I'm not- superstitious about balck cats crossing my path. 'Course, my ankle hurts and my back still aches-they always do-but that baling wire will hold me up. * * * "BESIDES THAT, I haven't time to fuss about myself. I'm too busy taking care of Cass Mich- The 23-year old Michaels, one of the outstanding second base- men in the majors, is Luke's roommate. He feels responsible T for him, calls him a "helpless problem child," and teaches him all the tricks he's picked up as the oldest active infielder play- ing in the game today. When Appling first came to the White Sox he wasn't sure whether he would land with the Cubs on the Northside of Chicago, or the Comiskey's on the South. * * * BOTH CLUBS were bidding with Atlanta for Luke's contract. Before noon one day it was an- nounced that the Cubs had pur- chased Appling. Late in the af- ternoon of the same day the At- lanta club voided the first an- nouncement and said Appling was the property of the White Sox. "I never did find out the real lowdown on the shift," Luke claims. "Several days later I asked an official of the Atlanta club what happened and, be told me: 'I got a dollar and a half more for you by merely walking from the northside of Chicago to the Southside, so I took.it.'" The increased sales ante didn't make Luke mad inasmuch as he received 25 per cent of the pur- chase price paid the Atlanta club. I-M NEWS SOFTBALL PLAYOFFS Greene House 6, Phi .Kappa Psi 5.

CHICAGO--Dean Lind, 19- year old Michigan sophomore successfully defended his crown in the Chicago District Golf Association's Junior Open Golf Tournament yesterday by de- feating Howard Roseen of The Citadel College, 2 and 1. Lind, 1948 USGA National Junior champion, was a mem- ber of Michigan's freshman golf team this spring. One of his teammates was Dick Evans, newly - crowned Ohio Amateur Golf champion. Regents Agree Onz Athletic Expenditures The Board of Regents have ap- proved the expenditure of $831,- 000 to increase and improve ath- letic facilities at Michigan, it was announced yesterday. The money will be taken from athletic funds. ATHLETIC DIRECTOR Fritz Crisler was not in town to dis- cuss future construction plans but there was little doubt as to which items had top priorities. A new golf club house, a new hockey rink and new baseball stands at Ferry Field have been on the "must" list for the past few years. The golf club house hasn't been worthy of the name ever since the actual club house was destroyed by fire four years ago. A small shack has served as the replace- ment ever since. HOCKEY TICKETS for games at the leaky, 1,300 seat rink have been at a premium for the past few years. The new rink will seat about 6,000. By Theo Associated Press CLEVELAND-Vic Raschi won his 15th victory and Joe DiMaggio batted in his 26th and 27th runs in 21 games as the New York Yan- kees defeated the Cleveland In- dians, 5-3, yesterday, in a rubber game of the three-game series. The triumph increased the Yankees' first place lead over the runner-up tribe to five and a half games. A crowd of 44,646, including 35,818 paying customers, who braved a rain shower just before the game started, saw the Indians get off to a 2-0 lead in the second inning. Pitcher Early Wynn failed to hold the advantage, however, and was batted out in the eighth to be charged with his second de- feat. He has won seven. Raschi, who has lost three this season, scattered eight hits for his fourth straight suc- cess over the Tribe. They have yet to beat him. Once again DiMaggio was the biggest producer for the Yankees. He drove in two runs with a single to spark a three-run rally in the third. That uprising put the Yan- kees ahead, 3-2, but Joe Gordon's 14th home run in the last half of the third deadlocked the score at 3-3. Thereafter Raschi held the In- dians scoreless and allowed only four hits through the last six inn- ings. * * * Tigers 6, Nats 3 DETROIT-The Detroit Tigers put on their hitting shoes and slammed out 14 hits, including three homers, to whip the Wash- ington Senators 6-3 yesterday and sweep their three game series. Pat Mullin hit his No. 5 homer, Yankee Hurler Halts Indians Fourth Time, 5-3; Brooklyn, Cardinals Win while Dick Wakefield and George Vico each came up with his third of the season. Freddie Hutchinson, making his second relief appearance in two days, took over for the Tigers when starterTed Gray ran into trouble in the fourth as the Senators scor- ed all their runs in that inning. Hutchinson put out the Senator fire and pitched 5%/ scoreless inn- ings to get credit for his sixth win of the year as against four losses. Dodgers 7, Pirates 6 BROOKLYN - The Brooklyn Dodgers climaxed an uphill battle, scoring two runs in the bottom of the ninth to come from behind and defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-6, yesterday. The winning hit was delivered by pinch hitter Luis Olmo. His single off Hugh Casey, third Pirate hurler, scored Bruce Ed- wards from second. Edwards, a moment earlier, had singled in Roy Campanella from second with the tying run. Trailing 5-1, the Brooks came up with a four-run eighth inning to deadlock the game at 5-5. Af- ter Jackie Robinson had batted in a run with a long fly, Gil Hodges hit his 13th home run with two aboard off Bob Chesnes to com- plete the scoring. * * * Cardes 3, Boston I BOSTON-For the fourth time in as many starts against him, the St. Louis Cardinals teed off on Johnny Antonelli, the Boston Braves' $52,000 bonus southpaw, for a 3-1 victory yesterday to gain the odd win of a .three-game series.
