Wasdell admitted that he missed the bunt sign, and it Vas discovered that Durocher gave him quite a verbal going-over in the dressing room. When Durocher brought Wasdell up to hit. he told him: "Jim, Ruffing (Red Ruffing, Yankee Pitcher) is trying to steam that first pitch past us, so take a cut at It.

If you miss the first one, get the sign on what to do." Wasdell swung at the first offering and missed It. 'Then," he explained to Durocher afterward, "I stepped out of the box and looked to Dressen (Coach Chuck Dressen at third) for the sign. I must have missed it."

WARD It isn't often that a big-league club acquires a worth while player in the draft. But the Tigers may have received one when they drafted Third Baseman Don Ross from Montreal, of the International League. Ross was scooped up at the recent draft meeting along with Roy a diminutive left-handed pitcher from the University of Chicago among other places. The Tigers know Ross and have been pulling for him to make good for years. He was found by Marty Krug, a Tiger scout, while playing on the sandlots of Los Angeles and he went through the Tiger farm system.

Brought up to take the place of Marvin Owen at third in 10.J6, Ross revealed that he had developed some batting faults that needed correction. Morale Drops Sent out to acquire experience, he suffered a decline in morale. The result was that he failed to make good with Toledo, or with Buffalo where he was shifted when it became apparent that he would never become a success at Toledo. In a last effort to save a promising player, the Tigers shifted Ross back to familiar scenes at Beaumont where he had starred in 1935. It took Don a while to get going but he finally regained his old stride.

He was brought back to the Tigers the next season but later sold to Brooklyn when Mark Christman outfought him for the third-base job. Ross took on a lot of needed weight after he was sold by the Tigers and now tips the scales at 185 pounds. Chances Will Be Better Ross will come up to the Tigers next spring to make a bid for the post now held by Pinky Higgins. He will have a better chance than he ever had, for Higgins, at this stage of his career, is not the ball i player that Owen was when Don first tried to take his job. Henshaw has been watched by the Tigers for several years.

They were tempted to bid for him while be was at the University of Chicago but were beaten to the punch by the Cubs. He has shown flashes of ability but is handicapped by his size. He is 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs 158 pounds. He is 30 years old and finished the 1941 season at Jersey City. Br th Auixlalf 4 Prm EAST LANSING, Oct.

1 Now that Hughle Davis, 160-pound Negro halfback, has emerged as a promising "money player," Coach Charley Bachman of Michigan State College is anxious to see how another sophomore ball-carrier, Morgan Gingrass, of Marquette, will perform under fire. Gingrass missed the Michigan opener because of injuries, but Bachman plans to use the speedy 180-pounder in the next Spartan contest against Marquette here, Oct. 11. Davis, ranked behind Gingrass in the preseason practice, drew high praise from Spartan coaches after a review of State-Wolverine game movies. Pictures Rhowed Davis outfeint-ing the Wolverine defense on passes and driving hard against huskier opponents on every running play.

Gingrass, in Bachman's opinion, has more natural ability than Davis. He is equally fast and is a fair kicker and passer, while uavis' chief asset is a pair of, twinkling neeis. However, each plays right halfback and unless Jack Fenton, Spartan hero of the Michigan game, continues to be beset by injuries, neither Gingrass nor Davis is tabbed for more than relief duty. The squad went through another scrimmage today with the reserves again bearing the brunt of the heavy work. Bachman gave his bruised regulars a two-day layoff this week and Indicated that they could take it easy several more days.

Thus nldtimera were maenifl- cent in bringing the Yankees their tenth consecutive World Series victory and their seventeenth mop-up rrom their last zu post season marches. That Yankee Power IT WAS Gordon, a mere youth of 26 summers, who gave Curt Davis a bitter taste of.

Yankee power when he parked a long home run into the left field stands in the second inning. Through the afternoon, Gordon struck off a homer and a single in addition to picking up a pair of passes. The Flash also closed out the first snow witn a ngntning-tinted double play as Brooklyn had two men spinning around the sacks. Only a Joe Medwick mlraIe killed off another Yanke score. In the fourth inning Joe DIMagglo nailed one of Davis' pitches squarely between the seams.

Medwick ran back against the wall and, just as DIMagglo's wallop was on the point of landing in the packed stands, he timed a springboard leap, speared the ball over the top of the barrier and fell flat for one of the most remarkable catchen any World Series game has ever known. But even this catch, Mickey Owen's triple and three Gift- Ah Yes, It's a Dodger Play BY W. W. EDGAR The annual battle with Wayne under the lights Friday night is being looked upon as the night of the big experiment at the University of Detroit. Last year the Titans used the game in which they conquered the Tarters 42 to 7, as a means of polishing up two teams for the stiffer competition that followed.

Coach Gus Dorais had planned to do the same this season, but circumstances have forced a change in plans. Injuries and the uncertainty of several sophomores has brought about a condition where the coaches plan a number of experiments ln'the hope that they can better judge the material on hand and possibly bring about a return to the two-unit system. Dorais had planned to start Sophomore Charlie Ruth, who scored the winning touchdown against Indiana at right end and keep Al Schmidt, another sophomore, at fullback. They are still suffering from injuries, however, and may not see much action. Ruth is nursing a badly sprained ankle and Schmidt a bruised leg.

Along with these, Bob Keene, regular right half, may be kept idle because of an injured pelvis, while Joe Gensheimer, and end, and Johnny Biringer, veteran quarterback, are not in the best of condition. As a result, Goodrich, veteran of two years, may start at fullback, and Toepfer at right end. With Keene missing, considerable experimenting will be done at right half with the chances that Biringer will be switched there and the quarterback post given to Art Link. At left half Tippy Madarik and Henry Piper will alternate. Tartar Squad Holds Last Scrimmage Wayne University's Tartars scrimmaged Wednesday for the last time before the football game with U.

Gembis named four sophomores to start against the Titans Frank Sabo, Don Young, Tom Callard and Herb Jeschke and made no secret of the fact that he is depending neavny on newcomers.

1 (AP) Pilot George Schenley and Co-Pilot Thomas A. Ketch have been flying together for an airline for two years. Today they asked for new partners for the next 10 days. Ketch, who hails from Brooklyn, is an ardent Dodger fan. And Schenley, born in the Bronx, is equally partisan for the Yankees.

You can stop some of them all nt the time, but you won't stop all of them any of the time, even with the use of tanks and machine guns.

They still kept winning with their big guns spiked and so what will happen when Jolting Joe and King Kong Keller find the target and the range? The Dodgers will still bo olit there swinging, hustling and scrapping to the last pitch. They are far from being through. But they have a great ball club to beat, no matter what happens when Whit Wyatt and Kirby Higbe get to work. LITTLE WORLD SERIES (Four faint not of 7) Montr) J'i. (ohimhua ft.
