FOUR E HICBIGAIti ]DAILY FOUR THE MICHIGAN flATlY I L E:SDAY, Braves Top Redlegs Again, 5-1 Gene from the I DE LIN ES by Dhick Cramer, Apprais of the Sununer WITSHTHE summer term just about over and The Daily one dal sway from taking a month's vacation, it's about time for thi observer to give his appraisal of the sports world over the past eigh weeks. From this sideline, the summer's sports scene has been a mixture of joy and frustration. Most of the joys were shared by all Michigai students; the frustrations were fewer and more personal. As a native of Pennsylvania, I've been rather unhappy during the past two months about the fortunes of my favorite baseball clubs the Philadelphia Phils and the Pittsburgh Pirates. While Milwaukee, Cincinnati and Brooklyn have been running away from the rest of the National League, the Phils have been closing in, but never quite attaining the first division. Curt Simmons has been authoring the "comback of the year' story in the National Loop and Harvey Haddix has been a valuable addition to the Phils' pitching corps. Mary Blaylock and Stan Lopata have ben real surprises "at the plate. But the Cardinals, playing onl3 .500 ball have still managed to stay ahead of Philadelphia in fourth place. Two big reasons for the Phils' failures have been relatively poor performances by the two mainstays of the club. Del Ennis' hitting and Robin Roberts' pitching has been much below par. The Pirates have been an even greater source of frustration. Dale Long and Company sem near bankruptcy after an unusually profitable beginning of the season. Now Pittsburgh is slipping not sc gradually back into its decade-long doldrums. Of course, Daily readers who are fans of the Yankees, Braves, Redlegs, Dodgers and even the Cardinals will not share my disappoint- ment in the pennant races. is t e n e ,n DEL CRANDALL ... contributes vital homer e T I Share Pride in Michigan.. . BUT WE can all rejoice in the place Michigan has taken in the, summer sports, At the start of the summer, we made the bleak observation-sum- mer school students had little chance to see current evidence of Michigan's great tradition of leadership in sports. We warned that except for a limited Intramural program, students would have to rely on past records and future expectations to realize that tradition. How wrong we were! Probably the biggest news concerning Michigan had ominous overtones when it first appeared. Look Magazine had accused Big Ten schools in general and Michigan in particular of violating the Cqnference code on financial aid to athletes. This did not look like a furtherance of the Michigan tradition--at first. But Michigan came through the ordeal still recognized a sports leader. In reaction to the magazine charges, the Big Ten studied the Michigan case and found no illegality in Wolverine actions. Instead, the consensus of opinion was that Michigan was made the central target of an attempted scandal merely because its "big name" added news value to the story. Michigan's prestige was indicated by the fact that its Athletic Director, H. 0. "Fritz" Crisler, was, one of four men appointed to study and revise the Conference athletic code. Evene in the first week of the term, the Wolverine tradition was far from dormant. Representatives of Michigan's golf and tennis squads were competing in the National Collegiate tournaments with sufficiently gratifying, if not extraordinary results. Netters Without MacKay.. . ITHOUT THE services of number one man Barry MacKay, the. Big Ten champion netters still managed to tie for sixth in NCAA competition. At the same time the golfers, who finished second in the Western Conference, had Fred Micklow qualify for the eighth-, finals of NCAA play. Micklow lost a close match at that point to bei eliminated from the tourney. Michigan's sailing club got into the news twice. The first week it competed against many more widely know crews in the National Intercollegiate Dinghy races and finished a surprisingly close third. Later it won an open regatta in Michigan against teams from seven other schools. Individuals have brought added fame to the name of Michigan this summer, too. Big Ten champion MacKay of the tennis squad has been most noteworthy. After an exhibition trip to England, MacKay was named to repre- sent the United States in two American Zone Davis Cup matches.< Winning one match and losing two in his first Davis Cup experiences, MacKay is looked on nationally for great things in the future. . Swimmer Dick Hanley, who will just begin to compete for Michi-t gan as a sophomore this coming year, has also brought distinction to1 his school this summer. He became the first Wolverine to qualify for this year's United States Olympic team by finishing second tof Indiana's Bill Woolsey in the 100 meter freestyle event. Bill Thurston became the latest in a long list of Wolveriner diamondmen to enter professional baseball when he signed a contract, with a farm club of the Detroit Tigers. Only some of the summer's additions to the Michigan traditionl have been mentioned. It has been a good summer for Michiganr sports-wise. Those readers who return in the fall can expect more of# the same when the regular school year begins.- Russians Invite U.S. Track. Stars MOSCOW (I)-Russia invit the United States yesterday7 send a full track and field team1 Moscow with all expenses pa next July for a head-on cla. with Soviet athletes.

In New York Ferris said he ha not recevied an invitation fro the Russians since last year bi thought it would be possible t send a team to Moscow in 1957. "I think our track and fiel committee and finance committe would be happy to send a tear over this summer, but our repl was that we were too busy raisin funds to send the Olympic tear to Melbourne to finance such trip. In addition, the Olympi committee ruled that no Olym plans could go overseas now. Return Trip "I don't know about a retur trip.

The Russian government ha continually balked at this proced ure an American law requirin fingerprinting of visiting Russian before granting visas.

A crowd of 38,580, which set a new four-game series attendance record of 162,880, watched rookie Taylor Phillips notch his third major league victory without a setback. Crandall and Danny O'Connell' supplied the batting muscle Phil- lips needed to go all the way. Crandall's 13th homer with a man on in the sixth broke a 1-1 tie after his long sacrifice fly had tied the score in the second. O'Connell drove in the Braves' final two runs in the eighth with a bases loaded single. Robinson Homers for Redlegs Frank Robinson's 26th home run in the first kept the Redlegs from being shut out. Phillips, a 23-year-old southpaw up from Wichita, scattered seven hits and walked only two. It was Phillips' second straight complete game in which he allowed only one run. The loser was Johnny Kippstein, who started and was taken out for a pinch hitter in the sixth. His; record now is 10-9. The Braves, who lost the first game of the series and were only one game up on the Redlegs, now lead Tebbetts' third place club by four games. Brooklyn, which was rained out at New York last night, is in second place, two games out. Robinson, who had gone one for 10 in the first three games of the series, collected four hits, includ- ing his homer. * * * White Sox 4, Cubs a CHICAGO-A first inning streak of wildness by Myron "Moe" Dra- bowski, 21-year-old bonus pitcher, gave the Chicago White Sox a 4 to 0 victory over the Chicago Cubs last night in a benefit baseball game before 23,438 at Comiskey Park. Drabowski, former Trinity Col- lege athlete, walked three batters and hit two at the outset to force in two runs. He then settled down to permit only two singles until removed for a pinch batter in the eighth. Howell Goes Route. Dixie Howell, 36, went the route for the Sox, stopping their cross- town rivals on five hits. Drabowsky walked the first two batters, Bubba Phillips and Nellie Fox, without throwing a strike. Larry Doby grounded out but Dra-- bowsky hit Dave Philley with a pitch to load the bases. He also hit Walt Dropo, Phillips scoring, and walked Jim Delsing to force in Fox with another run. Pinch batter Ron Northey drove in two runs with a single in thet eighth off Vito Valentinetti.
