THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1950 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Tigers Stay Four Games Ahead, Beat Browns, 6- . n Yankees Beat A 's, 12-8 Joost Lost for Month NEW YORK-(AP)-Eddie Joost, shortstop of the Philadelphia Ath- letics, sustained severely torn lig- aments in his left knee yesterday afternoon as the seventh-placers were beaten by the New York Yankees, 12-8. The 34-year-old infielder was involved in a collision at second base with Cliff Mapes, big Yankee outfielder, in the seventh inning. He was carried from the field on a stretcher and, after an examina- tion was removed to a hospital for X-rays. He probably will be side- lined at least a month. THE INJURY occurred just a bit before the game was halted by rain. With one out in the Phila- delphia eighth, showers forced a 35 minute delay. The Yankees bagged three Ath- letic hurlers for 13 hits, with Alex Kellner taking the loss. He was thumped for five in the fourth, three crossing on Mapes' seventh homer of the season. Phil Rizzu- to made three hits for New York and Johnson had a perfect day with four for four.

BOSTON-(,P)-The Washington Senators overcame a 5-1 deficit while overhauling the Boston Red Sox for a 9-7 victory last night before a packed 32,695 crowd. After a delay of 63 minutes, the game was ruled ended because of rain at the end of seven innings. Jockey Gets Award for Heroic Act CHICAGO - (AP) - Jockey Ken- neth Church was commended by the Illinois Racing Board yester- day for an act of heroism which may have cost him victory in the third race at Arlington Park. By his action Church, a Wind-' sor, Canada, lad probably saved fellow jockey Wendell Eads from death or serious injury. * * * SHORTLY AFTER the break in the third race, Eads, aboard Trier, lost his stirrup and was at the point of falling when Church, see- ing his predicament, spurted up alongside and pulled him back into the saddle. He rode along until Eads regained control of his mount. Church was riding Hair Stylist the favorite. After his rescue of Eads he went after the leaders, but the race went to Ferry Pilot. Hair Stylist finished second by a length. The cheers of the crowd were deafening when Church came back to salute the judges and dismount. Joseph Broderick, secretary of the racing board, said the board will honor Church with a scroll. Lees Leads British Open Houtteman Allows Nine Hits to Notch 11th Win ,.., Golf With 68 TROON, SCOTLAND-(A') -Ar- thur Lees, a stubby little golfer with a bulging waist line, smother- ed par and the efforts of 92 other shot makers yesterday to take the first round lead in the British Open Golf Championship with a 68. That's two under par and five strokes better than John Bulla, curly-haired pro from Pittsburgh, and Jim McHale of Philadelphia, leaders of the four-man U.S. bri- gade. BULLA WON the medal earlier this week with a pair of 70's. Frank Stranahan, the muscle man from Toledo, Ohio, skied to a 77 while Art Clark, the golfing farm- er from Huntington, W. Va., fired a 74. In fact, only two other golf- ers beside Lees broke par on the 6,583-yard old Troon course where the regulation figures are 35-35-0. One was defending champion Bobby Locke of South Africa, whose performance confirmed him as the short-priced favorite to win the cupagain. The other was E. E. Whitcomb, a British pro. * * * SAM KING, like Lees a British Ryder Cup player, stood alone in fourth place with a par 70. Except for Locke, British pros held all the first nine places. Five Britons shot 71, - Dai Rees, Nor- man Sutton, Hector Thomson, Fred Bullock and W. J. Branch. LIVELY BALL? w 140 Runs Score in Five IM Tilts as Softball Play Starts DETROIT--(P)-The Detroit Ti- gers stayed four games ahead in the American League race by trimming the St. Louis Browns last night 6 to 1. Art Houtteman gave the Brownies nine hits ashe posted his eleventh victory against five defeats. The triumph was the eighth for the Tigers in nine games with the Browns this season. Ned Garver, who suffered his eighth setback to go with six wins, gave up only two more hits than Charles Gets Medic O.K. On 'Ticker' NEW YORK-(P)-Ezzard Char- les, NBA world heavyweight boxing champion, was declared fit for fur- ther boxing yesterday after an examination by the Medical Board of the New York Athletic Com- mission. Charles has been idle since early in May because of a bruised heart muscle. It was discovered just a few days before he was to have met Freddie Beshore in a title contest at Buffalo on May 4. - * -* AFTER TODAY'S day-long ex- amination the doctors said he was in condition to resume training. There was no indication when the champion will defend his title. Charles was examined at the Medical Center. Dr. Robert L. Levy, heart spe- cialist of Presbyterian Hospital of the Medical Center, issued the fol- lowing statement: * * * "AFTER COMPLETE re-exam- ination of Ezzard Charles, it was found that thehbruise of the heart muscle which has kept him inac- tive during the past few months has completely healed. He is now in condition to resume training immediately." The statement was concurred in by Dr. Charles Muzzicato, acting head of the Athletic Commission's Medical Advisory Board; Dr. J. M. Houston, med- ical director of the Illinois State Athletic Commission, and Dr. Harry Golds a New York Heart specialist. Houston was one of the physi- cians who examined the Cincin- natian in Chicago May 4 and de- clared him unfit to fight because of a "vascular condition of the heart." THE CHICAGO BOARD said he was "not fit for strenuous exercise at the present time," but recom- mended a re-examination within a three-month period. The National Boxing Associa- tion went along with this report and said Charles will continue to be recognized by that body. Charles is committed to fight Beshore in Buffalo and he may go through with that bout in August. Houtteman but the Tigers made theirs count with men on the bases. By marking up his eleventh tri- umph, Houtteman remained dead- locked with Bob Lemon of Cleve- land who also reached that figure by beating Chicago tonight. * * * GEORGE KELL, leading the American League batting race, got one hit in four tries and drove home a run in the third. Houtteman was not at his best against the hapless Browns, but he bore down with men on the bases and only in the sixth could the St. Louisans bunch their blows. The Tigers have an off day to- day and open an all-important three-game series with the Cleve- land Indians tomorrow night. Meantime, the Tigers learned they will have to do without the services of their ace righthander,, Virgil (Fire) Trucks for at least seven days. Trucks was in uni- form tonight but will not be per- mitted to even throw a baseball while, he takes special deep dia- thermy treatments at Ford Hos- pital. Twomey, Wilt Lose In Finland ABO, FINLAND-(P)--B. Jo- hansson of Finland outsprinted John Twomey by a yard yesterday to win the 1,500 meter run in 3:50, fastest time of the year in this country. The Illinois AC runner's time was 3:50.2, equivalent of a 4:08 mile. A crowd of 7,000 watched the two fight it out on a fast track. * * * FRED WILT, who along with Twomey had been leading the U.S. track squad to victories here, also lost in his specialty. The govern- ment agent ran third in the 5,000 meter run, won by V. Koskela in 14:27.6. Wilt was far back in 14:52.8. Bob Chambers of Southern California continued his supre- macy in the half-mile run. He won the event in 1:52.5. Bob Richards of the Illinois AC won the pole vault at 14 feet 6 7/8 inches. Herb Hoskins of Kansas State and Fortune Gordien of the San Francisco Olympic Club each won two events. ST.

It snapped a six-game los- ing streak for the Bucs. Kiner smashed his 22nd homer with Dale Coogan aboard in the fourth inning for the margin that eventually proved enough for Queen. The veteran right hander scattered four hits to register his second victory against seven loss- es. * * * KINER ALSO cut down the ty- ing run at the plate. He threw out Emil Verban on Hank Ed- ward's fly in the eighth after the Cubs had one run in on Ron Northey's double and a triple by Bill Serena.

Paced by Doc Porter's three hits, the Public Health team made up a three-run deficit to tie up the ball game in the sixth inning. They had trailed 9-6 up to this point. IN THE SEVENTH, the SPH outfit pushed over another tally to ice the game. The games played yesterday heralded the start of the summer intramural sports program, head- ed by Rod Grambeau, in earnest. Unorganized play has been in progress since the start of school. Individual and team play in more than a dozen different phases of athletics is being conducted by the Intramural Sports Depart- ment. By JOE REICHLER NEW YORK-()-The National League will attempt to break the Americans' All-Star monopoly next Tuesday without the help of St. Louis Cardinal pitchers. Manager Burt Shotton made that certain today when he failed to name a single Redbird among his eight all-star hurlers. Base- ball men consider this a surpris- ing move since they attribute the Cards' current first place position to the splendid work of their pitchers. SHOTTON NAMED two of his own Brooklyn aces - Don New- combe and Preacher Roe. The others are Robin Roberts and Jim Konstanty of Philadelphia, War- ren Spahn of Boston, Bob Rush of Chicago, Ewell Blackwell of Cin- cinnati and Larry Jansen of New York. The omission of St. Louis southpaws Max Lanier and Howie Pollet caused some eye- brow raising, especially since Shotton has only two lefties on his staff-Spahn and Roe. Shotton may have been reading history in not naming a St. Louis pitcher. Since the All-Star compe- tition between the two leagues be- gan in 1933, at least one Cardinal pitcher was selected in all but two years. The National won both times without St. Louis pitching help. Considering that the Na- tional has won only four of 16 (no game in 1945), it may have given Burt an idea. * * * ignored the Cards, the fans cer- tainly didn't. They named Stan Musial for first base, Marty Mar- ion for shortstop and Enos Slaugh- ter for one of the outfield posi- tions. In addition, Red Schoen- dienst picked up enough votes to be named as an alternate for sec- ond base. Philadelphia's Willie Jones, at Robinson, at second, round out the starting infield. Hank Sauer of Chicago and Ralph Kiner of Pittsburgh complete the out- field. Roy Campanella of Brook- lyn was almost an unanimous choice for catcher. Shotton rounded out the 25-man squad with: . INFIELDERS - Gil Hodges and Peewee Reese, Brooklyn, and Eddie Stanky, New York. OUTFIELDERS - Andy Pafko, Chicago; Duke Snider, Brooklyn; Johnny Wyrostek, Cincinnati, and Dick Sisler, Philadelphia. CATCHER - Walker Cooper, Boston. The game will be played in Chi- cago's Comiskey Park, the site of the original All-Star Game in 1933.
