/ THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1957 THE.MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE ____________________________________________________________ _ WAGE THREE SPORTS REPORTS By BOB MARGOLIN, Co-Sports Editor TWAS WITH much enthusiasm that this writer read in this week's issue of the Sporting News of a proposed world-circling good will tour by the Brooklyn Dodgers and Cleveland Indians at the close of the regular major league season. The idea is certainly not new. Way back in 1888 A. G. Spald- ing took a group of twenty ballplayers on a globe-wide trek that lasted six months. In every aspect, including financial, the trip was a success. The next such voyage didn't come until 24 years later when fiery John McGraw and adventerous Charley Com- iskey led a crew composed of New York Giants and Chicago White Sox plus a few other ballplayers on an extremely profitable globe- circling venture. Since then, there have been no circuit trips by American baseball teams, although several expeditions, too numerous to mention here, have brought the game of baseball to Europe, the Far East and Latin America. Even the University of Michigan has sent teams. to Japan on more than one occasion under the leadership of its present great dia- mond coach, Ray Fisher. HOWEVER, THE proposed Dodger-Indian tour, if taken, will be in many respects different from its two predecessors. For one thing, the size of the party will be considerably larger than in the past. Two squads of 17 or 18 ballplayers plus wives, officials and sports writers will add up to approximately 130 people. The enormity of the group leads us'to a conclusion already accepted by the promoters. Although it would be nice to realize a profit on the venture, chances are that they will probably take a loss. ,Certainly, it is doubtful if the promoters expect to make the huge profit a businessman would anticipate consider- Ing the financial risks involved and the estimated expense of $500,000. All of which brings us to the reason why, with a little encourage- ment here and there, it is believed that, officials of the Dodgers and Indians will go ahead with the trip despite the expense. * * * * IT CAN BE summed up by using either side of a two-headed coin -good will or propaganda-depending on which term you prefer to use. With a tentative schedule that includes Hawaii, Japan, Australia, x the Philippines, India, Spain, Portugal, Greece, North Africa, Israel and Central America, many of the parts of the world where a delicate cold war exists between the proponents of totalitarianism and demo- cracy will be visited. Little wonder, then, that the State Department is solidly be- hind the tour. The past experience of two such ventures has prov- ed that they bring this nebulous thing called good will not only to the game of baseball but to the United States as well. And, as the Sporting News pointed out, "the presence of Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, Larry Doby and other Negro players on the squads would serve to combat communistic propaganda that ra- cial minorities are discriminated against and denied equality of opportunity in the United States." Moreover, it is this writer's opinion that one shining example is worth ten thousand words of propaganda. The game of baseball, even when played by professionoals, is as American, to use the cliche, as ham and eggs, apple pie or a "car in every garage and a chicken in every pot." * * * * OF OUR BALLPLAYER'S actions on and off the field we have no fear. As an example of American individualism and competition, co- operatioon and democracy at work, we can think of nothing more vivid save a New England town meeting, nothing more enjoyable to witness save a Walt Disney cartoon. Most of the players involved are willing to make the 35,000 * mile, two month trip; the State Wepartment is wholeheartedly behind it (although Cleveland and Brookly will foot the ex- penses); and many foreign governments have already indicated their desire to be included on the itinerary. At the risk of being accused of attempting to spend someone else's money, this writer feels that Messrs. O'Malley of the Dodgers and Greenberg and Ryan of Cleveland would be hitting a bases loaded home run for a more positive dramatization of democracy by going through with their present tentative plans.

MICHIGAN'S ULTRA MODERN SHOP AIR CONDITIONED 6 Barbers Special Attention Given Ladies' & Children's Hair Cutting U of M BARBERS 715 N. University T.V. For Your Enjoyment <"; By The Associated Press CHICAGO-The Chicago Cubs, beaten 21 times in the past 30 games over a month's span, snap- ped a five-game losing streak when Manager Phil Cavarretta smashed a one-out single in the thirteenth inning to give the Bruins a 3-2 victory over the Bos- ton Braves yesterday. Cavarretta's ninth hit in 21 games this season sent Tommy Brown across the plate witli the winning run. Brown singled off Lew Burdette after catcher John Pramesa grounded out. Hal Jeff- coat walked, and Burdette was re- placed by Chipman. Cavarretta took a called strike and then hit Chipman's second pitch sharply to center for a game-winning single. CAVARRETTA'S fireworks also snapped a five-game winning streak for the Braves, managed by Charlie Grimm, Phil's former pro- fessor when he broke in with the Cubs way back in the middle thirties. The three hour and 15 minute match started out as a tight pitching duel beteween Warren Spahn and Johnny Klippstein. The Cubs scored a run in the first inning, Bob Addis getting across on Pramesa's two out single. Chicago carried this 1-0 edge into the eighth when Boston tied it up. THE BRAVES grabbed a 2-1 lead in the ninth, but Chicago made it 2-2 in the home half as Brown, running for Dee Fondy, who smashed a leadoff single, got around on Jeffcoat's sacrifice, and Bruce Edwards' pinch single bat- ting for Klippstein. Dutch Leonard took over at thestart of the tenth and check- ed the Braves on three singles the rest of the way to receive credit for his second payoff. Spahn exited in the tenth when the Cubs loaded the bases with one out on two walks sandwiched around Hank Sauer's double. Bur- dette came aboard to mop up by The summer session in co- operation with the Men's Phys- ical Education Department is offering a free golf clinic to anyone interested. The first meeting will be at the Univer- sity Golf Course tonight at 7 p.m. Sessions will also be held Monday and the following Thursday, also at 7 p.m. -Bert Katzenmeyer getting both Brown and Jeffcoat to prolong the match before the Cubs bounced to square the series at a game apiece. YANKS 8-7, INDIANS 7-4 NEW YORK-Kal Segrist and Tommy Gorman made auspicious, Major League debuts yesterday as the New York Yankees swept a doubleheader from Cleveland, 8-7 and 7-4, to increase their first placeamargin over the Indians to four and a half games. Segrist, brought up from the [Yankees' Kansas City farm along withGorman Tuesday, scored the winning run in the first game af- ter singling to open up the last half of the 10th inning. The 21- year-old second baseman advanc- ed to second on a sacrifice, to third on a wild pitch and crossed the plate on Hank Bauer's line single to center. GORMAN WAS called upon to relieve starter Bill Miller in the seventh inning of the nightcap with the Yankees leading 3-2, the bases full of Indians and nobody out. The 26-year-old righthander whipped a third strike over on Bobby Avila, got Dale Mitchell to hit a force play grounder that sent in the tying run and then fanned the dangerous Al Rosen on three pitches. The Yankees bounced back with four runs in their half of the seventh. Bob Feller, the vic- tim of the assault, went down to his eighth defeat against seven victories. Gorman was credited with his first Major League win. The world champions fought an uphill battle to take the opener. A home run by Yogi Berra with a teammate on base and two out in the eighth inning tied the score at 7-7 and forced the game into overtime. The blow came off Mick- ey Harris. Harris had taken over in the seventh after starter Bob Lemon had been forced out by wilting 95 degree temperature. Close Games Ii ohlig ht I-NI SoftballPlay Two superbly pitched games featured yesterday's I-M softball card. In the first contest the Bartend- ers, behind the three-hit pitch- ing of Bill Rogers shut out the Jokers, 1-0. Bill Hainsworth al- lowed the winners only three hits but gave up a run in the last of the sixth. Each pitcher faced twenty-one batters, and each struck out eight. Both sides com- mitted one error in what was an exceptionally close ball game. THE OTHER sterling pitchers' battle saw Van Tyne down Fletch- er by a 1-0 score. Deil Wright gave but two hits for the winners. Pitcher Jerry Arend allowed Van Tyne only three safeties, but two of them came in the first inning and produced the game's only run. The defeats were the first for both the Jokers and Fletcher. All four clubs will be in the playoffs. In other softball action last night: Social Research beat Chem- istry "B", 10-6; Zeta Psi drubbed Scott, 12-5; and the Air Force won on a forfeit from Delta Signia Phi.

In recent years only a few high school players made the jump without college experience. Mlinarich, 225-pound six foot- er, picked up some experience during his just- ended four years in the army. The Lions signed him when they learned he was named to the 1951 All-Army team and had beaten out Clayton Tonnemaker, 1949 All-American from Minnesota for the honor. Mlinarich, 23, was a sergeant in reconnaisance cavalry. He gradu- ated from high school in 1946.

He's in a rut. No hitters, no hitters. Just where he was 14 years ago. No future in Davey Wins Chuck Davey won a unani- mous ten round decision last night over Carmen Basilio. In a previous match Basilio won a decision over Davey but an ir- regularity in the referee's score- card caused the fight to be called a draw. it. And not much room for im- provement, either. * ** WE CAN SEE him yet standing in the Tampa Terrace lobby, look- ing like a matinee idol with his brown hair rippling back from his high forehead and regular features tilted at the right angle to give thatdaloof, out-of-this-world look. Not that the personable guy is a poser. It's his natural man- ner, and can he help it if he's handsome? "WHEN I started out," he said, "I hoped to play 20 years. This is the 20th year. It's been a great 20 years, and I'd do it all over again." As a guess, that's just what he's starting out to do. Against Beaumont Tuesday night he pitched a no-hit, no-run game, and that's the Vander Meer of 14 years ago when he first came up to the Reds.
