AIIIIE, MICHIGAN 'DAILY PAGE rIIIILE ~THE MICHIGAN ~DAILY PAGE TilhttE IMORNING REPORT by Merle Levin, Sports Editor CLLGE BASEBALL COACHES are moaning "raid" in agonized tnsonce again as word comes from Ohio State University that the Buck's star shortstop, Bob Weygandt has signed a contract to play with the Pittsburgh Pirates' Waterloo farm club this summer. Ohio Coach Floyd Stahl who had a great deal of grief last season in leading his favored Buckeyes to a first division berth in the Western Conference race is the guy who got stung this time and he isn't taking the matter lying down. Stahl, ignoring the too obvious fact that Ohio's baseball title hopes for next season slipped several pegs with Weygandt's departure, nas cried out piously that big league signing of college players will ruin interest in college baseball. Maybe the Buckeye mentor has a point there but I'm inclined to believe that he's about twenty years too late in attempting to save the popularity of college baseball. The college game today just hasn't got the brand of appeal necessary to keep the average fan away from the radio account of the doings of his favorite major league team, and it is a truly rare college ball player who can draw an extra-large audience to a game in which he is appearing. LOOKING AT THE SITUATION from the ball player's viewpoint Weygandt is 26 and seeking a career in a sport which has "youth" as its prime requisite to success. The average Western Conference baseball team is approxi- mately of Class B professional caliber. A majority of college teams are no better than a Class C or D pro outfit although there are a few who could probably make things rough for a Class A team. But whether a college club is of A or D professional caliber is less important than the fact that the caliber of a +-,am's competition rarely improves. Thus a good college player cannot improve himself by playing against gradually improving competition each year. He must rely on his coach's advice for improvement and while there are some fine college coaches around the country nobody has invented a good substitute for actual experience yet. If a good college player seeking a baseball career succumbs to the lure of the majors' gold after a couple of years of playing against a bunch of guys who are out for some good clean exercise before settling down to an engineering job in Panama, can you blame him? I can't but Stahl whose own job depends on keeping a firm grip on all the good ball players he can coral does. It's all in the point of view, I guess. * * * * SHORT STUFF: Northwestern claims to have the miler most likely to press little Don Gehrmann in the mile next year . . . he's Dean Pieper who did a sensational 4:21.6 mile in high school . . .

Charles Plans' Title Defense For August NEW YORK - (A') - Ezzard Charles, newly crowned NBA heavyweight champion, yesterday signed to defend his title against Gus Lesnevich, former world light heavyweight champion, in a 15- round match at Yankee Stadium, Nednesday, Aug.,10. Harry Mark- son of Madison Square Garden announced the match for the In- ternational Boxing Club. Charles won the NBA crown less than two weeks ago when he out- pointed Jersey Joe Walcott in a 15-round bout in Chicago, June 22. * * . * THE NEW YORK State Athletic Commission did not recognize Charles as champion. Eddie Eagan, chairman of the commission, is on record as saying he preferred a "tournament" to decide the suc- cessor to the retired Joe Louis. Fagen was not at the commis- sion office or his law offices today and could not be reached imme- diately for comment as to whether he would recognize the Charles- Lesnevich tilt as a championship fight. .

AL Batting Leaders Slump; Kell Keeps Edge Over Field Tribe Drops Tigers To Sweep Series Dom DiMlaggioLeads Boston to Win CHICAGO-(IP)-Third baseman George Kell of the Detroit Tigers yesterday led the American League batting race by 18 percentage points with a .348 mark. Kell, who returned to action last weekend after an injury-caused layoff, slipped five points from his previous week's listing, but run- ner-up Dom DiMaggio of the Bos- ton Red Sox slumped nine points to .330. IN THIRD SPOT with an un- changed .319 was Boston's Ted Williams. He was followed by De- troit's Vic Wertz with .311, a drop of six points, and Bob Dillingera of St. Louis, who also got off the crippled list last weekend, with .310. Other leaders, according to official figures compiled through Fourth of July gAmes, included: Cleveland's Dale Mitchell, .309; Gerry Priddy of St. Louis, .306; Eddy Joost of Philadelphia, .304; Hank Majeski, Philadelphia, .302; and Vern Stephens, Bos- ton, .301. Jackie Robinson of Brooklyn, with a 24-point lead near the halfway mark, is going to be tough to beat for the National League batting crown. * * * WITH STAN MUSIAL, St. Louis' defending champion, not even listed in the top 10 hitters, Rob- inson's .362 average overshadows the rest of the field. Runnerup in averages includ- ing Sunday's games is Red Schoendienst of St. Louis at .338, followed closely by Pitts- burgh's Ralph Kiner at .336. Despite Robinson's wide lead, the big man of the week was Wil- lard Marshall of New York who advanced from tenth to fourth with 12 hits in 21 trips.

Westlake is the only newcomer in the top 10, replacing Eddie Kazak of St. Louis. CHICAGO-(A')-The St. Louis Cardinals captured the rubber tilt of their three-game series with the Chicago Cubs here yesterday when they won a 10-inning bat- tle, 2 to 1, before a ladies day crowd of 26,802. Al Schoendienst singled with one out in the tenth, took third on another single by Marty Mar- ion, and tallied;while Stan Musial forced Marion. But Musial still had to make a great play to pre- serve the victory. Roy Smalley singled in the Cub half, Mickey Owen sacrificed and Bob Ramaz- zotti lined a pinch single to right that sent Smalley galloping home. However, Musial's perfect throw nailed him on a close play. * * * ' ST. LOUIS -(A'P) - A single by Paul Lehner in the seventh inning with the bases loaded resulted in four runs when catcher Joe Tip- ton missed the throw from the outfield and then threw wild-and the St. Louis Browns went on to take a 9Wto5 victory from the Chicago White Sox last night. DETROIT-(AP)-The onrushing Cleveland Indians mauled three Detroit Tiger pitchers for 14 hits and an 8 to 1 decision last night to sweep their three-game series. Left hander Frank Papish scat- tered seven Detroit hits for his first victory of the season. THE THIRD PLACE Indians picked up a full game on the New York Yankees whose American League lead was cut to four games as they lost to Boston tonight. Second-place Philadelphia was idle. It was Papish's second start of the season and the Indians got him off to a flying start as they climbed all over Tiger starting pitcher Mary Grissom for three runs and four hits in the open- ing inhing. They drove Grissom to the showers in the second stanza as they pushed over another run on a walk and two singles before Mar- lin Stuart came in and got the side out. * * * NEW YORK-W)-Dom Dimag- gio stole a page from his older brother Joe's book last night, slamming a home run and triple, and making a spectacular catch of Phil Rizzuto's extra-base bid, to lead the Boston Red Sox to a 4-2 victory over the New York Yan- kees. A crowd of 60,252 saw 20- year-old Maurice McDermott hold the Yankees to four hits as the Sox broke an eight-game losing streak. The Yankee lead over the idle second place Philadelphia Ath- letics was cut to four games. Tommy O'Brien's firsthhome run broke a 2-2 tie in the sev- enth, while Dom DiMaggio's ho- mer clinched it in the eighth. The Sox pounded Ed Lopat and Frank Shea for 14 hits and left 14 men stranded on the bases. BROOKLYN -(A-- The Phila- delphia Phils rushed Lefty Joe Hatten to the showers with a six- run barrage in the first inning last night and went on to defeat the Brooklyn Dodgers, 7-2, to take un- disputed possession of third place in the National League. Lefty Ken Heintzelman spaced seven hits to register his 10th victory of the season, his fourth against the Brooks. The loss cut Brooklyn's lead over the St. Louis Cardinals to one game.
