THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1951 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREN h ON THEl SPOT By GEORGE FLINT Daily Sports Editor THE HOTTEST team in baseball these days has probably the most unobstrusive manager in the major leagues. Charley Dressen, who holds the puppet strings for the national league-leading Brooklyn Dodgers, has said little and, to outward ap- pearances, done nothing while the power-laden Bums have gone about their house-wrecking business in the senior circuit. * * * * BUT DRESSEN, always a sound baseball man, has done a great job in harnessing the tremendous potential present in the Brooklyn club and making it function game after game. Praticularly effective has been his ability with the pitchers. Although his outspoken attitude toward hard-luck hurler Erv Palica has drawn some wry comment, Dressen's firm hand with Don Newcombe and Preacher Rowe, who have been used to their fullest ability, and with second-line pitchers Carl Erskine and Ralph Branca prove the Dodger pilot an astute manager, possibly the best in the league. The consistency of the Dodgers has been phenomenal. While teams like the Phillies and Cardinals have their hot streaks and their cold streaks, the Dodgers make like Old Man River. " They could lose the pennant, though. The Phillies almost man- aged to do it last season after leading by ten games in August. But with the experienced hand of Dressen to guide the million-dollar collection of supermen, it's not likely. AUGUST IS more or less of a twilight month for action in the sports world, but one most notable event (from a Michigan stand- point) takes place in Soldiers' Field, Chicago come the 17th. It's the College All-Star football game, brain child of Chicago Tribune sports editor Arch Ward and an eagerly-awaited event for area athletic fans. r* * * WHAT MAKES this year's game particularly interesting for Michigan fandom is that two Wolverine backfield stars, Don Dufek and Charlie Ortmann, are on the All-Star team and figure to see a lot of action. Yale's Herman Hickman, who directs the All-Stars whenever he can take off from cerebrating on television, has made Ortmann Into a T-formation quarterback. This looks to be a smart move, since the blond Milwaukean's chief talents are in ball-handling and passing. Though he did some good work on the ground for the past three Michigan teams, his aerial artistry was the big factor in bringing three straight Big Ten championships to Ann Arbor. The pile-driving Dufek, one of the country's most underrated players last season, may turn out to be the surprise star of the game. Even the tough and massive line of the Cleveland Browns, who fur- nish the All-Stars the professional opposition, may find the speedy fullback a tough man to handle. The game is played at night before what always seems to be a sellout crowd of 100,000 plus. The Tribune hanles ticket orders. * * * * BUTTON, BUTTON, who's got a commissioner? As far as the Major League owners are concerned, maybe they have and maybe they haven't. Right now they're not telling. Five candidates have been mentioned as principal favorites to succeed A. B. (Happy) Chandler, who says he is much happier now than when he was compounding diamond headaches. Three are baseball men--Warren Giles of the Cincinnati Reds, Ford Frick, president of the National League, and George Trautman, boss of the minor leagues. The other two are national figures. Take your choice between a staunch Republican, the Old General himself, Douglas MacArthur, or a stauncher Democrat, New Deal axeman Jim Farley. From here it looks like Frick is the most capable man for the job, and in addition is populara with the players. But the general con- sensus is that an unknown (now) but prominent figure is the club owner's choice. If they can't agree on him or he won't accept, then one of the fabulous five takes the gold medal. Tribe Cadet Coach Speaks Out For System Blaik Deplores 'Mental Load' (Continued from Page 1) "The little informal tutoring had no official connection with the Military Academy," Blaik said. "The relatively minor expens- es were met by some of our in- terested civilian alumni. No Government or athletic associa- tion funds were used. Duncan paid his own way to West Point and reutrn to his home. His small expenses here were taken care of as stated." MacDonald passed the exam- inations, but decided to enter the University of Michigan instead of West Point. "We were sorry to lose him," said Blaik, "as he would have made a fine officer. * * * THE COACH said all 24 boys invited to the cram course al- ready had or were assured of the required Congressional appoint- ments to the Academy-subject to their ability to cope with the en- trance examinations. Blaik, who has turned out powerhouse squads ranking high among the nation's best year after year, estimated that 75 per cent of all Cadets either had previous college training or took special cram courses to enter West Point. Referring to the recent scandal involving violation of the honor code, Blaik said the "physical and mental load" carried by West Point Cadets was a prime factor in the "regrettable" episode of the 90, who, having successfully gained entrance, succumbed to classroom "cribbing." The 90 accused meanwhile still were being interviewed one by one by a review board. Non-accused students showed little sympathy for those charg- ed with cribbing. Some told reporters they would stay away from the football sta- dium if the football players were allowed to play again, and some even threatened to resign from the Academy unless the cheaters left. In Washington, Congressional investigating committees, after at first considering stepping into the case, leaned toward a hands off attitude to allow the Army to handle the situation, itself. lis Top on Feller's 18th in Veteran Righthander Tops Browns as Yankees Lose i Tam's World Meet Opens GEORGE KELL ... for Bengals, needed punch Major League Standings AMERICAN W Cleveland ... 66 New York ...65 Boston........61 Chicago ..... 60 Detroit........49 Washington . 46 Philadelphia . 40 St. Louis ...32 LEAGUE L Pct. 39 .629 39 .625 43 .587 47 .561 54 .476 58 .442 66 .377 73 .305 GB '.. 42 7 16 26 34 * * * YESTERDAY'S RESULTS Cleveland 2, St. Louis 1.

NATIONAL LEAGUE By The Associated Press CLEVELAND-Bob Feller pitch- the Cleveland Indians into first place of the American League yes- terday and became the first ma- jor league hurler to win 18 games this season, as the Tribe beat the St. Louis Browns 2 to 1 for their seventh straight win. Cleveland's victory came while the Washington Senators were knocking off the New York Yan- kees 4 to 1. THAT PUT the Indians out front with 66 wins and 39 losses for a .629 percentage. New York's record is 65 and 39 for .625. Bob Porterfield, former New York Yankee right hander, knocked his ex-mates out of first place as he hurled a 4-1 victory for the Washington Sen- ators. Mickey Vernon, veteran Senator first baseman, gave Porterfield all the batting support he needed to gain the decision over Vic Raschi. The big Yankee ace, who was seeking his 17th victory, was sub- merged by Vernon, personally. Mickey blasted two homers, each with a runner aboard, to account for all the Washington tallies. GEORGE KELL rapped a single to drive home the winning run in the eleventh inning as the De- troit Tigers battled from behind to nip the Chicago White Sox 6 to 5. A moment earlier pinchhitter Steve Souchock had doubled home Jerry Priddy with the ty- ing, run. Relief pitcher Dizzy Trout, 36 year old righthander, was credited with the win, his sixth against 12 losses. Stopping late inning rallies by the Chicago Cubs in both games, the Cincinnati Reds swept a doubleheader 7 to 5 and 4 to 3 before 14,829. THE REDS hammered 14 hits in the opener as Ewell Blackwell posted his 11th win against 10 defeats and Herman Wehmeier checked the Cubs with five hits in the nightcap to record his sec- ond win compared with five losses. Eddie Waitkus tripled off Wil- lard Marshall's glove with two on and twq out and the Phila- delphia Phils one run behind in the eighth to give the Phils a 3-2 triumph over the Boston Braves. Ralph Caballero doubled with one out and Bill Nicholson, pinch- hitting for Ken Johnson walked. Waitkus then smashed a drive to right that Marshall dropped after a long run. BILLY COX'S single off the wall with the bases loaded in the 10th inning boosted Brooklyn's Nation- al League lead to 11'/2 games, high mark of the season, with a 7-6 win over the runnerup New York Giants for a sweep of their day-night doubleheader. The Dod- gers took the day game, 7-2. Singles by Andy Pafko, Roy Campanella and Gil Hodges loaded the bases after two were out in the 10th. Then Cox blast- ed a Dave Koslo pitch to left to break up the game. Don Newcombe took a 6-3 lead into the ninth but the Giants knocked him out to score three and send the game into extra inn- ings.

Gus IBell had three of the hits-a sin- gle, triple and homer-to lead the attack. I SAYE T/ME *s ANOMONfY CHICAGO-(OP)-Golf's richest show, the $56,000 "World" cham- pionship with concurrent men's and women's open competition, opens today with U. S. Open champion Ben Hogan returning to the course he scorned for four years. Hogan joined the field of 64 hand-picked pros shooting for a lush $12,500 first prize, he said, because promoter George S. May has made his Tam O'Shanter carnival a better golf meet than it used to be. After winning the 1947 "World," then a 36-hole winner-take- all, $5,000 event, Hogan criticized Tam's former circus aspects, including required number-wearing by players, masked marvels and other gimmicks May figured would please the crowd. "Just say that this is a golf tournament now," said Hogan in explaining why he ended his four-year boycott of Tam. Hogan is the only addition to the pro field which was screened to 63 after last weekend's All-American tourney which had a starting field of 118.

Presents GOOD-BYE MY FANCY JOAN CRAWFORD Alfred Hitchcock's WASHINGTON- OP) -An old- time ball player came out yester- day for a high commissioner on the style of the man who once put him on baseball's blacklist. Ray Fisher, a former Cincinnati Red pitcher who has been coach- ing baseball for 31 years at the University of Michigan, told a House judiciary subcommittee: "I THINK the players would get a fair deal if they had a com- missioner like Judge Landis." He referred to the late Kene- saw M. Landis, the game's first czar, who was succeeded by A. [Ia B. (Happy) Chandler, recently deposed. This opinion came after Chair- man Celler (D-N.Y.) asked him if he thought it was proper that the 16 major league club owners should have the exclusive right in naming a successor to Chandler. * * * THE 63-year-old right-hander indicated it didn't make any dif- ference as long as the man chosen had "character, honesty, integrity and everything like that." He endorsed the controversial reserve clause in players' con- tracts, saying it served to pro- tect the game from dishonesty. If it weren't in effect, he said, a player might be induced to lay down or play sick during a hot pennant race by a promise he would be hired by an opposing team for the next season. "I don't say that would happen," he went on, "but the reserve clause acts to prevent it." QUIETLY AND without rancor, Fisher recalled the circumstances of his suspension by Landis in 1921. He was with Cincinnati and pitched in the 1919 scandal ser- ies with the Chicago Black Sox, losing 3-0 "because I worked against one of their honest pitchers." Dickie Kerr was the Chicago pitcher that day, About ten years ago, he went on, he received from baseball "for long and meritorious service" a silver pass which enables him to go to any baseball game in the country free of charge. "I guess that meant I wasn't suspended any longer," he smiled. The committee will meet again on Friday. Fisher Coached Phillies Hurler Michigan coach Ray Fisher, who testified before the subcom- mittee investigating organized baseball today, has had contact with the professional game for many years. In addition to his playing car- eer, he has long been a coach of teams in the Northern League in Vermont, where he helped to de- velop Phillies star Robin Robert. and "Lifeboat" D. O.A.
