It was the sixth consecu tive game in which a Yankee starter lasted the route and the eighth time in their 10 games. After Washington had forced ahead 1-0 in the top of the third, the Yankees assumed the lead on a walk, George McQuinn's second double, a force play and Keller's double. The Yankee powerhouse outfielder added his third homer in the fifth to end the scoring.

Southpaw Mickey Haefner, the starter and loser for Washington, gave way to Bobo Newsom in the third who pitched well the rest of the way. Washing. ton (1) ab po a New York 3) ab no a Grace, ir Lewis, rf Spence, cf Vernon, lb 4 2 4 0 Rizzuto. ss 3 13 5 4 110 M'Qulnn. lb 4 2 11 0 3 0 3 1 Llndell.

DES MOINES, IOWA Coaches, sport writers, ath letes and plain fans were here over the week-end for the Drake Relays, but they spent most of their leisure time talking football Which is the team to fear in the Western conference next fafl? Well, it was almost unanimous it is Fritz Crisler's Michigan crew. They say the Wolverines will be stronger this year than last; that they will be exceptionally good for they actually were stronger than the championship Illinois team except on the day the two met at Ann Arbor. Not only is Fritz Crisler holding most of the Key men from his fine 1946 squad, but also he has picked up some more outstanding talent from the freshman ranks and returning service men. Michigan is supposed to be so well fixed with backfield materiel it probably will shift Dan Dworsky, a pretty fair fullback, into the line as a center. Walt Teninga, an outstanding left -halfback before he went to war, probably wil have to settle for the blocking back spot if he wants to play regularly.

Of coiirse, the scribes and coaches aren't overlooking Minnesota in the 1947 picture, but most of them figure it may tafte another year for Bernie Bierman to build one of his peace-time championship outfits. They rate Illinois and Ohio State among the elite. Both have a good share of their 1946 squads back again with the Illini a little better off than the Buckeyes. The truth is all of the Big Nine elevens will be stronger this fall than they were last. The new coaches at Ohio State, Purdue and Northwest ern may need another season to get acclimated before they are clicking smoothly.

Watching Chandler BASEBALL PLAYERS, man agers, owners and fans will watch closely Happy Chandler's meeting with Larry MacPhail and other owners of the New York Yankees in Cincinnati Wednesday. Will the commissioner really get tough with MacPhail? We don't see how he can do otherwise if he hopes to retain any prestige in the baseball world. MacPhail deliberately challenged Chandler's authority when he commented on the commissioner's decision on Leo Durocher. The order specifically prohibited any1 conversation. If Chandler lets MacPhail off without a stiff punishment, he can figure his finish with this lucrative job is in the making.

Consider the possibility, too, of MacPhail organizing a counter move that lead to Chandler's discharge. Larry certainly will go down fighting, although we doubt whether his fellow club owners will go along with him. It's too bad baseball should find itself in a bad family quarrel just is the game is set for the biggest season in history. The fans don't want the club owners to be airing their dirty linen in public. They merely want to see ball games and they will see plenty of good ones big and small leagues if the players can concentrate on the competitive end instead of the po litical side of the game.

Wilkinson Popular IN ONE SHORT year as an assistant football coach at Oklahoma university, Bud Wilkinson has gained tremendous esteem imong rival mentors throughout the Missouri valley and Big Six conferences. Bud now is the head man at Oklahoma and will be on his own next fall. That may sound like quite a little of additional responsibility, for the former Gopher, but they tell us here that Bud just about ran the works at this school last fall even though he didn't have the title. They have Wilkinson busier than a one armed paper hanger at Nor man, Okla. He has had to take over a good share of the athletic director's duties in recent months because of a vacancy in that de partment.

Bud would rather not handle both the director's and the head football coach's position, but he may have to until school officials can get the right man. Baseball Returns PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL is back in Des Moines again and despite the fact the city's new park will not be ready for occu pancy for another month, enthusi asm is running high. George Higgins, former St. Paul radio man, headed the drive that raised $150,000 for a new park. However, scarcity of materials slowed completion of the project Des Moines is a farm club of the Chicago Cubs and every one here is tickled over this tie up.

The National leaguers already have turned over considerable talent to the local club, with more coming. "I have never been mixed up with a better setup than we have with the Cubs," Higgins told us. "We had our choice of several connections and I am happy now we made ours with Chicago." undisputed possession of first place in the American league Saturday with a 2 to 0 victory over the last place Browns. Thornton Lee's pitching and hitting and a homer into the left field seats by Don Kolloway spelled victory for the Sox in the first of a three-game series. The veteran southpaw, who will be 40 years old In September, held the Browns to two hits, one an infield roller, and singled across the second Chicago run in the ninth inning.

Don Kolloway's homer into the left field seats accounted for first run in the seventh. Lee made three of the eleven hits given up by Nelson Potter, who suffered his second shutout defeat at the hands of the Sox. Mike Tresh, Chicago catcher, turned his ankle rounding second base in the ninth, and a preliminary examination indicated a fracture. He was removed to a hospital for an X-ray examination.

A' Four Runs in Ninth Nip Red Sox 5-2 BOSTON CP) For the second time in as many days the lightly regarded Philadelphia Athletics Saturday rallied in the ninth to defeat the Boston Red Sox. This time they scored four runs after two were out to win 5-2. In Friday's drizzljng rain the A's came up with five runs in the ninth to beat the American league champions 11-7. Tommy Fine, pitching sensation of the Eastern league last season, had given only five hits and was within one strike of winning his major league debut when he walked Ferris Fain. That touched off the four run spark.

JD Junle Andres, sold to Indianapolis by Louisville last winter at his own request, played a big part here Saturday night in the Indians' 4-1 baseball victory over the Colonels.

Attendance 4.1B8. Gopher Ace Loses in U. 5. Cuk Finals LAFAYETTE, IND. Leff Mabie of Florida defeated Paul Tweite of Minnesota 25-18 in 66 innings to win the National Intercollegiate Invitational Billiard tournament's three cushion division at Purdue university Saturday night.

Mabie also won the pocket division crown by beating Mark Abend of Michigan 100-84 in 34 innings. Thomas Hines of Wisconsin won the straight rail title, defeating a teammate, Gordon Howe, 100-98 in 31 innings. Saturday, he sported the maroon colors of the Twin Cities' contingent and dashed 62 sensational yards for the big score in a 12-0 shutout of a favored "outstate" squad. The Maroons were leading 6-0 in the second' quarter at Memorial stadium when Johnson took the ball on a straight plunge from his own 38-yard line. Apparently stopped by the Gold secondary after a short gain, the stumpy Minneapolis fullback tore loose from several tacklers, carried a couple or more with him a ways, then burst into the clear and went the distance for the aft- ternoon's final touchdown.

Thereafter, the Gold, outfit from outside the Twin Cities had the edge, with Frank Kuzma of Ely giving further indication Minnesota should have some clas-sy ullbacking next alL Ralph McAlister also peeled off several neat gains for the losers who were stopped once on the Maroon two-yard line. Glen Pullens, South's former Negro flash, made" the vital gains in the Maroons' first scoring march, which began after a recovered fumble on the Gold 42. It was Frank Brown, however, who slashed over for the tally when the old Minnesota lateral play clicked for five needed yards. In addition to his running, Johnson also excelled with consistently fine punting and once got off a with-the-wind boot that totaled 85 yards with the rolL Two other 1946 squad members, tackle Bon Roetman and end Jack Stuhlman, shared the limelight with strong defensive work whien kept the Golds in check. MILLERS Continued From Page One hurt Starting Lefty Bob had pret ty fair control, while relieving Lefty Morrle wasn't so cute but was a harder thrower.

Once, with two men on, Riggs performed a murderous stop of a smash by Miggins, Next time up. Lew played back on the grass. It was quite a Saturday. The fans thought a foul ball was the final out and streamed on the field, having to be called back. Mr.

John McCarthy escorted a dog off the field at one juncture. He tried to get coach Joe Vitter to do it, but Joe said "He's all yours, John," so John took the pooch out. For Sunday, the bill of fare is at Lexington at 3 p.m. and Tom Sheehan says it'll be Rube Fischer or Ed Wagner for the Millers. Probably Cy Buker will go for the Saints.
