FIDAY, JULY 6, 1051 TIME MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE Tigers De eat Ch icago Rehind H tchinson, 8-0 NBA Listing Rates Louis Next to Ez Robinson Has No Challenger at 165 WASHINGTON-(M)-Joe Louis, old and tired though he may be, still is rated as the only logical contender for Ezzard Charles' heavyweight tole. The National Boxing Associa- tion released its quarterly ratings yesterday and they show the standouts among the heavyweights are few indeed. For not only was the 37-year- old' Louis the only one listed as a logical- contender; the NBA also rated only two fighters, Rex Layne of Utah and the apparently in- destructible Jersey Joe Walcott, as deserving the description, "out- standing boxers." Sugar Ray Robinson, consider- ed by many as the finest fighting machine in the business today, got an indirect vote of approval from the NBA. Robinson has polished off every- one around, so much so that the NBA could find no logical con- tender for his middleweight title, and had to go to England, Aus- tralia and France to find boxers worthy to be called "outstanding." Heavyweight Champion, Ezzard Charles, Ohio. Logical contender, Joe Louis, Michigan.'

The loss cost the Chicagoans at least temporarily the league lead- ership they regained Wednesday from the New York Yankees. PAUL R I C H A R D S' amazing Chicagoans had not been blanked before this season but they never had a chance against Hutchinson. Only 34 men batted against him and he set the ever-trying White Sox down 1, 2, 3 in four innings. Only one Chicagoan got as far as third base. That was Gus Niar- hos, who reached first on Johnny Lipon's boot in the second inning, took second base on Chico Car- rasquel's single and advanced to third on a sacrifice. 19 16 14 14 14 26 19 18 18 Major League Standings AMERICA New York ....

INJURY HAMPERS: Brougi Upset at Wimbledon; Savitt, McGregor Vie Today HUTCHINVSON gave up only one walk while fanning three. The White Sox didn't get the ball out f the infield in the last three in- nings as they were topping Hutch's tantalizing stuff. The Tigers' win, which gave them the series two to one, was charged against their old team- mate Lou Kretlow. He was touched for a single run in the first and retired under fire dur- ing the Tigers' seven run third inning-one of the biggest scor- ing sprees they have had this' season. The Boston Braves had two of their top right-handed pitchers, Vern Bickford and Johnny Sain, sidelined with injuries while out- battling the Philadelphia Phillies for a 7-6 victory in 11 innings. SID GORDON'S bases-loaded single against Jim Konstanty, the Fourth of the Philadelphia pitch- ers, with none out provided th winning counter. Bickford was the Boston start- er and was forced to retire with a pulled muscle in his right shoulder after the fourth inn- ing. In the eighth, when the Phillies pulled into a 6-6 tie with a three-run rally, Sain in- jured his pitching hand by de- flecting G r a n n y Hamner's grounder. Sain managed to finish out the inning, although his hand swelled almost immediately. Both he and Bickford will be idle for at least a week. HOWIE FOX scattered seven hits and Lloyd Merriman and Dix- ie Howell rapped out homers to give the Cincinnati Reds a 4-0 shutout over the Pittsburgh Pi- rates. The setback ended a four- game Buc win streak and kept Pirate hurler Howie Pollet from* achieving his 100th major lea- gue victory. Howie also limited the Reds to seven safeties dur- ing eight innings he pitched but the Merriman and Nowell clouting did the damage. Merriman hit his hmer in the fifth with Howell aboard. Howell hit the scoreboard in the seventh with the bases empty. The other Red run resulted from Virgil Stallcup's triple. He scored on Ted Kluszewski's long fly. * * * THE PIRATES played without the services of home run slugger Ralph Kiner who started a three- day suspension for an argument with the umpires over a close play at first. Kiner didn't even come to the ball park. Neither did many fans. Official paid, attendance dropped to "2,212, plus a Ladies Day gathering of 1,542. The St. Louis Cardinals blast- ed four Chicago Cubs pitchers for 14 hits, including five for extra bases, and won, 10 to 2, before a Ladies' Day crowd of 19,562. Cliff Chambers of recent no-hit fame, limited the Cubs to five hits in his season's fifth victory against eigth losses. IN TWO DAYS, the Cardinals have bombarded eight Cub pitch- ers for 20 runs and 26 hits. Leading the Cardinal attack were Wally Westlake and Red Schoendienst. Westlake doubled, tripled and singled, Schoendienst doubled once and singled twice. The New York Yankees opened up a half game lead on Chicago in the American League race by whipping Washington, 8-2, behind Bob Kuzava's four-hitter. Home runs by Ted Williams (his 15th) and Bobby Doerr (his 12th) carried the Boston Red Sox to their tenth straight 1951 victory over the Philadelphia Athletics as the third placers rolled to an 8 to 3 triumph. Williams' blow climaxed a four run seventh inning rally which sewed up Boston's wins. Don Newcombe hung up win No. 12 as Brooklyn took a 711 game lead over New York in the National League race with an 8-4 victory over the Giants. Gil Hodges hit his 27th homer and Andy Pafko his 17th in the sixth-inning out- burst that knocked out Larry Jan- sen. TED WILLIAMS . . . thumps one Yanks Falter In British LinksDerby Stranahan Has 2nd Straight 75 PORTRUSH, N. Ireland - () _ Max Faulkner, a debonair British Ryder Cup player with a red-hot putter, beat the chill, drizzling rain home yesterday to carve out a two- stroke lead in the British Open Golf Championship after 36 holes that knocked two of four Ameri- cans out of the tournament. Out early in the day before the drizzle commenced soaking the Royal Portrush course's rolling dunes, Faulkner scrambled around in the rough but capitalized on his putting to post a two-under-par 70 for a two-round total of 141. ** * ONLY ONE other player, Nor-; man Sutton of England, was ahead of par after two trips around the layout. The little former profes- sional soccer player also got a 70, giving him a total of 143 at the tournament's halfway mark, good for second place. Bobby Locke, the South Afri- can seeking his third straight British Open title, bagged a 74 for a 145 total. Frank Stranahan, the Toledo, Ohio, shotmaker who won the Bri- tish Amateur crown in 1950, and Chuck Rotar, who was a Canton, Ohio, pro before heading for Ger- many and duty with the U. S. Army, were among 46 players who qualified for the final 36 holes to- morrow. Playing in the drizzle, Stranahan got himself his second straight 75 for a 150 total. Rotar also matched his 76 of yesterday for a total of 152. The two Americans who fell by the wayside were Art Clark of Huntington, W. Va., and Al Zim- merman, the pro from Portland, Ore. Zimmerman, who got an 81 yesterday, developed p u t t i n g nerves the second day, ,too, and shot an 83 for a total of 164. $Although softball competition is in full swing already, the full in- tramural sports program for the summer will shift into high next week, as opening rounds begin in five tournaments. Two more leagues will also get started next week, with play to begin Tuesday in both basketball and volleyball. THE ALL-CAMPUS golf tourna- ment gets under way tomorrow .and Sunday, w it h qualifying rounds for all participants. Other tournaments slated for next week are in tennis, paddle- ball, badminton, handball, and horseshoes. Forty-two men have entered the tennis singles, and competition is expected to be spirited, Entry lists in the other tourneys show 20 vying in handball, 16 in paddleball, 20 in badminton, and 15 in horseshoes. * * * ANOTHER tournament on tap in the near future is a unique vent for the summer session It's a nine-hole faculty golf tournament, designed to free harried professors with other obligations after a short period of play. Entries in the match play tournament will be ac- cepted up to July 16. Contestants may enter by filing qualifying scores at the clubhouse any time before that date. Entrants will be divided into flights for the match play com- .Burke Sizzles In Canadian Open Tourney' TORONTO-(W)-Youthful Jack Burke, Jr., of Houston, Tex., gave par another terrific beating yes- terday as he turned in his second straight 66-six under par-to zoom into the lead at the halfway mark of the 72-hole Canadian Open Golf Tournament. Burke showed no fear of Missis- saugua Golf Club's well trapped course, made even trickier by a Wednesday thunderstorm which left the course well soaked today. His slightly-terrific 132 zoomed Burke into the lead, as Jim Fer- rier of San Francisco and Aus- tralia faltered badly. Fedrier burned up the course with a 65 Wednesday to take the lead, but ran into troubles yesterday and settled for a par 72. That left him five strokes behind Burke. Fred Hawkins of El Paso stayed right on the heels of fellow Texan Burke, carding a 69 to go with his opening day 66. That left him trailing Burke by three strokes. Burke never did worse than par on any hole, despite the high winds which lashed the soggy course. That kind of shooting gave the curly-haired Texan a favorite's role with the tournament at the halfway mark. ST. LOUIS - (A) -- Flashy Bill Veeck formally took over the St. Louis Browns yesterday and an- nounced he would retain Zach Taylor manager-for a time, at least. At a late afternoon news con- ference, Veeck also announced that he was out to build a win- ning ball team and that Negroes would be given every opportunity to qualify. NEITHER the Browns nor the St. Louis Cardinals now have Ne- gro players. The Browns brought up two - Henry Thompson and Willard Brown - in 1947. Both were released before the season was over. The Redbirds have never had a Negro in their lineup. Displaying his usual good hu- mor, Veeck attended the confer- ence after signing the papers putting the club in his hands. He said a count showed he had about 220,000 of the 275,000 shares of stock -- more than enough to exercise his option. Also at the conference were Bill and Charley DeWitt, who con- trolled the club until yesterday, and several of Veeck's associates in the present deal. Veeck said that Rudy Schaffer, who has been affiliated with him since his baseball days in Milwau- kee, would be the Brownies' gen- eral manager. "We have a couple of dollars to spend and we're going to spend' them," Veeck told reporters. "Right now the club couldn't bat its way out of a paper sack and we're looking for anybody who can carry a ball bat and handle one." Veeck said Taylor had done a good job as manager but that he had been handicapped by a lack of good players. Here, the stunt man of baseball admitted under questioning that he was looking around for someone who eventual- ly might replace Taylor. He was asked about Lou Boud- reau, Joe Gordon and Charlie Grimm. He said he would hay to get Boston's permission even to talk to Boudreau and he hasn't sought that permission. He indi- cated he had given Boudreau some thought, however. Gordon, Veeck said, is tied up as manager on the West Coast, at least for this season. And Grimm, he added, is happy" in Milwaukee, Veeck brought up the subject of Negro players after saying he ex- pected to make some changes within a week or 16 oays.

Storming the net at every op- portunity, Doris gave Beverly Bak- er of Santa Monica, Calif., a sound shellacking, 6-3, 6-1, in their semi- final match yesterday while Shir- ley was dethroning Louise Brough of Beverly Hills, Wimbledon cham- pion for the past three years, 6-4, 6-2. Miss Brough refused to alibi her defeat, but the crowd of 15,000 in the center court realized that her ailing right elbow-unbandag- ed for the first time in a month- was paining her each time she hit the ball. Miss Baker was totally unable to cope with Miss -Hart's brilliant at- tacking game and soft drop shots and went down almost without a struggle. The last time the two finalists met, in the French championships just a month ago, Miss Fry car- ried away the title in three sets.
