4 a SUNDAY, JULY 8, 1951 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE Red ('Hot) Sox Crush, Yankees, 10- 4; Tigers Win _L .r., # *, * r. { ON THE SPOT r By GEORGE FLINT Daily Sports Editor * * * * * * Tigers, Cain End Indian Sign, 13-3 DIAMOND BIRTHDAY PARTY: All-Star Tilt at Detroit Tuesday BEHIND THE hot arg-ment surrounding the NCAA's ban on tele- vision of football gars 'played by its member colleges is a blue- bound folio pamphlet, which has brought the blessings of science to that business-minded organization. Penn, as has become increasingly clear, does not care too much for the NCAA ruling. And so, in the true revolutionary spirit, it has voic- ed the desire to televise its football games next fall and may the NCAA forever hold its peace-which it won't. * * * * THERE IS A good argument for Pennsylvania's stand in the mat- ter. But the aforementioned blue volume seems to bear out the opin- ions of the NCAA. The pamphlet in question is a carefully-documented report written by the University of Chicago's National Opinion Research Center. Chicago, having no intercollegiate football, was of course the ideal place for such a study. The report's conclusions are, in brief: .1. College football attendance in 1950 dropped off for the first time since the war. This decline was in part due to the increased number of television receivers found in the American home. 2. Colleges in the television area showed a 4% decrease in at- tendance, while colleges outside the area showed a 4% increase. 3. There is no foreseeable likelihood that attenda'nce losses will be regained as television's novelty effect wears off. 4. Colleges whose own games were telecast in 1950 reported heavy declines. But competition by other network programs and by other telecast games seemed to have little effect on attendance. * * * * THESE CONCLUSIONS were arrived at through a careful screening of statistics from every part of the nation. Variables such as rain, poorly-matched teams, ticket prices, or overall :economic conditions were taken into consideration and the results were carefully checked. Michigan is one of the colleges most influential in the NCAA ruling's passage. Athletic Director H. O. Crisler (now on a tour of West Germany with Yale's Herman Hickman and others) was the chairman of the TV committee and has been outspoken in the camp of the 'view with alarm' contingent. Whether or not Penn has a legal leg to stand on in the controversy must await possible adjudication if a case comes up. But on the basis of the facts, it seems that the NCAA is on firm ground about the deleterious effects of video on college football attendance. * * * * * TWAS A reminder of the old days of baseball the other day when an Intramural softball game was held up for 15 minutes while both teams went in search of the ball. A line drive had gone high on the hill which borders Ferry Field, and the tall grass there made it diffi- cult to espy. Reason it's like the old days (of which this writer, of course, was not a witness): Seems that before ball parks evolved from the primi- tive cow field into the modern stadium, outfield fences were a rare phenomenon. So many times the tall grass which bordered the outer gardens became the haven for a batted ball. Even the slowest runners would make extra bases when a harried outfielder was forced to run to and fro in search of the gum-smeared horsehide. ONE OF THE old-time ballplayers-Buck Miller, I think it was-. pulled one of the smarter tricks back in the nineties. When such a ball was hit to his field, he could always find the pellet immediately. Opposing teams caught on eventually. Miller had sown the tall grass with baseballs, and had only to run to the nearest supply station when the ball eluded his reach and rolled into the clover. Speaking of Miller, some saw that he is indirectly responsivse for the present great formality which surrounds substitution. In the game's infancy, the managers could substitute by merely yelling to the umpire and sending their man in. Miller, coaching at first base one day, exercised his quick wit in a way which somewhat exasperated the opposition. On a foul fly down the line, Miller's catcher tripped and fell while in hot pursuit. Where- upon Buck shouted "Miller for Smith!" caught the ball, and choked off what had looked like a dangerous rally. RED ROLFE jinx ends Hart Takes Wimbledon TennisTitle WIMBLEDON, England - (P) - Doris Hart of Miami, Fla., the girl with the greatest collection of strokes in women's tennis, won the singles title and shared in two doubles crowns as the All-England Championships came to a close yesterday. She needed a scant 30 minutes to crush her close friend, Shirley Fry of Akron, Ohio, 6-1, 6-0, in the singles final. After an hour and a half's rest she took Shirley on her side and outlasted the de- fending champions, Louise Brough and Mrs. Margaret Osborne Du- pont, 6-3, 13-11, in a tremendous doubles struggle. AT DAY'S end she paired with Frank Sedgman of Australia to win the mixed doubles over Mer- vyn Rose and Mr. Nancye Wynne Bolton of Australia, 7-5, 6-2. By winning the three titles, Miss Hart duplicated the feat of Miss Brough in 1948 and last year. Sedgman and Ken McGregor successfully defended their men's doubles title with a 3-6, 6-2, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, victory over Jaroslav Drobny of Egypt and Eric Sturgess of South Africa. (* * * DICK SAVITT of Orange, N. J., won the men's singles champion- ship Friday with a 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 victory over McGregor, the tall Aussie Davis Cupper. Thus, Amer- icans either won or shared in four of the five titles decided in the fortnight of play. Doris, twice previously a de- feated finalist of the famed cen- ter court, was cheered on by the capacity crowd of 15,000 as she raced to her singles triumph. She attacked Shirley's baseline game-Miss Fry's strongest point- and kept hammering away until the Ohio girl cracked under the strain. A STROKE analysis of the match showed just how well the plan worked. Doris scored 52 points in the match. Twenty-nine of them came on driving errors by Shirley. "I couldn't be happier," Doris said after her singles victory. "I've always wanted to win Wimbledon more than any other tournament." Doris lost her two previous Wimbledon finals to Miss Osborne, now Mrs. Dupont, in 1947, and to Miss. Brough in 1948. Both times she started fast, only to fall behind with the arrival of Queen Mother Mary; a great tennis fan. Queen Mary didn't come today. "I guess I'm glad she didn't," Doris admitted. "I've always tried not to be bothered, but I guess I was. Most of the excitement of the afternoon was packed into the second set of the women's dou- bles, with the crowd divided be- tween pulling for Doris to get her second victory and cheering Miss Brough's gallant play. Louise played the entire tournament with an ailing right elbow that might have cost her her singles crown, but she looked her former self yes- terday. Giants Top Braves In 11th Frame, 13-3 By The Associated Press BOSTON-()-The Boston Red Sox, sparked by a first inning grand slam home run by Clyde Vollmer, yesterday lambasted the New York Yankees 10-4 to hand the World's Champions their sev- enth straight defeat of the season in Boston. Ellis Kinder, in his first Boston start of 1951 and kept 11 hits, including three homers, fairly well scattered while totaling 10 strike- outs. ** * THE WHITE-HOT Red Sox batters, however, insured Kinder's success in the first inning when they blasted Allie Reynolds for six runs, four on Vollmer's grand- slam homer. Ted Williams clouted Shea for his 16th homer in the sixth with Johnny Pesky aboard to boost his top place RBI total to 76. Dom DiMaggio also hit that New York fireman for his eighth ho- mer in the fourth. An aroused bunch of Detroit Tigers abandoned their role of doormat for the Cleveland Indians and slapped them down, 13 to 3. THE TIGERS staged their big- gest hitting spree of the season, racking up 20 safeties as they ko'd their old nemesis, Bob Lemon. It snapped a streak of 11 straight losses to the Indians this season. Lefthander Bob Cain of the Ti- gers enjoyed his afternoon thor- oughly as he gained sweet revenge against the club which had beaten him by 2-1 scores on his last two tries against them. He blanked: them until the Tigers had built up an 8-0 lead. THE NEW YORK Giants scored a thrilling 7-6 victory over the Boston Braves in 11 innings before 11,307 fans, winning out when Ed Stanky tripled and romped home on Alvin Dark's fly ball. Vernon Law spun a five-hit web overthe St. Louis Cardinals yes- terday to win his third victory of the season 5-1 for the Pittsburgh Pirates before a crowd of 10,127 pad in addition to 3,561 kids. The Cincinnati Reds pounded the offerings of four pitchers for 15 hits to defeat the Chicago Cubs, 8 to 6, before 11,626 fans. It was the Cub's sixth straight defeat. Gus Zernial slammed two home runs, his 20th and 21st of the year, to lead the Philadelphia Ath- letics to a 4-3 victory over Wash- ington. Morris Martin, who al- lowed only one hit in 4 innings after relieving Dick Fowler, post- ed his fourth win. The Brooklyn Dodgers exploded for three runs in the seventh to break a 2-2 tie and drive Robin Roberts from the mound to de- feat the Philadelphia Phillies, 6 to 2 before 30,695 fans. TheChicago White Sox took a half-game lead in the tight Amer- ican League pennant race by downing the St. Louis Browns 5-3 after Chico Carrasquel sent them off to a lead with a three-run homer in the second. Saul Rogovin got off to shaky start, yielding two runs on three straight singles in the first, but settled down to go the distance for his fifth triumph against four defeats. He struck out four. GIL HODGES VIC WERTZ , ... a new Bambino? .. . supplies punch Ii Major League Standings I Nearby Detroit missed a World Series last fall by the breadth of a slightly fat whisker, but the Mo- tor City has an event coming up on Tuesday which many fans pre- fer to the autumn classic. It's the annual All-Star baseball game, and will help to celebrate Detroit's 250th birthday in grand style. THE NATIONAL League, hun- gry for more victories, appears to have one of its strongest teams. The senior circuit boasts of a cou- ple sluggers, Stan Musial and Gil Hodges, and a consistently fine hitter, Jackie Robinson. The National Leaguers also have speed, with Robinson, Phi- ladelphia's Richie Ashburn, and Del Ennis calculated to give trouble on the basepaths. The American League attack will again feature the big money man, Ted Williams, who has a habit of breaking up these con- tests. Detroit's Vic Wertz will also be a dangerous man for National League pitchers.

BOSTON--(MP)-Yogi Berra, New York Yankees catcher, probably will be unable to play in the All- Star game next week, his mana- ger, Casey Stengel, said yesterday. Out of the lineup with a back injury, Berra is wearing a corset and, according to Stengel, can't bend without pain. "It would be unfair," said Casey, who is the American League team manager in the All-Star contest, "to the fans and to the League to use him." AMERICAN LEAGUE NATIONAL LEAGUE Chicago ......
