Dropo Star with Homer and Single Yanks' Raschi Barely Stops White Sox, 4-3 NEW YORK VP) The Boston Red Sox, pre-season American League pennant favorites, continued their steady climb to the top by smashing Bobby Feller and the Cleveland Indians, 7 to 2. Ellis Kinder restricted the Indians to seven hits in handing Feller his first loss of the season.

The Sox jumped Feller and two relievers for 10 hits, including a two-run homer by Walt Dropo, big siege gun up from Louisville. DROPO UNLOADED in the fifth and the Sox clinched the game in the following inning with a four-run barrage that drove Feller to cover. Dropo knocked Feller out with a single that scored the third run of the rally. The victory enabled the Sox to pull into a virtual first-place tie with the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers. Difference in the number of games played put the Tigers and Yankees ahead on percentages.

Detroit, leading by 31 percentage points, had its game with the Athletics in Philadelphia rained out. The Yanks, 36 percentage points ahead of Boston, nosed out the Chicago White Sox, 4 to 3. BIG VIC RASCHI went all the way for the Yanks but had stormy going. Raschi set a major league record by committing four balks, The previous mark for most balks in a game was three by Cleve-! land's Milt Shoffner in 1930.

Improvement in the is the No. 1 objective in the The Titans end their workouts squad game on May 13. Chuck Baer (right), U-D football coach, goes over plans for the day's practice session with members of his staff. The assistants include: (left to right) Dutch Clark, Eddie rnrr rr IF YOU GO FOR third-hand conversation from Dick Wakefield to General Manager Frank Lane of the White Sox and from Lane to me you'd better read this. Lane talked to Wakefield Wednesday morning on a Chicago to Ann Arbor circuit.

I talked to Lane several hours later, Detroit to Chicago. "I didn't call him to try to get him to change his mind about reporting to our ball club," Frank said. "I wanted to establish the fact that he was aware that the deal for him with the Yankees was contingent on his reporting to the Sox in time for last Sunday's double-header with the Tigers." "He told me that he was aware of that fact," Lane continued. "He said he would be happy to repeat it when Commissioner Chandler has his hearing to decide who owns Dick's contract. He also said some other things, and I believe they put a different view on his refusal to let the Yankees trade him." Wakefield's own version goes like this.

When he finally signed his Yankee contract for $17,000 this Spring, he did so with reluctance. He had made $22,500 the year before with the Tigers. BY HAL, MIDDL.ESWORTH Don't be surprised If the University of Detroit comes out passing next football season. The Titans have been primarily a running club, but spring practice has been devoted to what Coach Chuck Baer calls "a better balanced attack." Baer is pleased with the results so far. Two men are playing important parts in the new aerial development.

ONE IS Dick Neveux, tall quarterback who will be a junior next season and who has blossomed into a real passer this spring. The other is Dutch Clark, most recent addition to Baer's coaching staff which also includes Eddie Barbour and Bob Ivory. Clark is the Titans' new backfield coach. "He is doing an excellent job with our passers, especially," said Baer. "We ought to be a lot more effective in the fall." Neveux has been a surprise even to Baer, who says he's amazed at the rapid development shown by the 20-year-old Chicago youngster during spring practice.

He was a third-string quarterback last season, behind Bob O'Malley and John O'Connor. O'Malley was graduated and O'Connor has not been out for spring football because of baseball. That left the field open for Neveux, and he has taken charge. O'Connor probably will step back in to claim the starting job in September, with Neveux and Ed Gomack, a sophomore from Midland, next in line. OTHER SOPHOMORES figure strongly in the Titans' plans for a second straight Missouri Valley championship especially in the backfield and at end.

Charlie Robinson, 200-pound sophomore from Southwestern, seems to have the inside track at left halfback. Baer calls him "one of the fastest developing men on the squad, with plenty of speed." Ron Horwath and Don Nelson, both juniors, and Jim O'Leary, another sophomore AFTER 3 YEARS Monroe Jolts Cosmo JSetters Hamtramck High School's highly publicized tennis team, Class A State champion in 1949, was surprised by a fighting Monroe squad at Hamtramck Veterans' Memorial Park. The Cosmos, coached by Mrs. Jean Hoxie. lost to Monroe.

4 to 3. It was their first dual-match defeat in three years. from Chicago, are running strong at left half, also. At right half, Ulysses Rogers, 198-pound sophomore from Ecorse, and Ray Huettman, a senior, have had top positions in spring workouts. But they will have to reckon with Jack O'Leary, senior, who is not out for the spring drills.

Mike Goggins, who spent most of his sophomore year in 1949 at halfback, has become the No. 1 fullback this spring. A pair of sophomores, Tom O'Neil, of Assumption in Windsor, and Dick Abata, of Chicago, are running next. BAER CALLS his crop of sophomore ends "the best prospects since I've been here," and it appears that a couple of them may be starters when the season opens. They are Gene Bradshaw, 200, of Pontiac, and Ed Bierne, 190, of Chicago.

Top hand in a line which Baer expects to be as strong, Cooley Runs Whole Show in Triangular Sweeps 13 Firsts over U-D, Chadsey Cooley High School's power-laden track team swept all 13 first places and added 10 seconds to trounce Chadsey and U. of D. High in an outdoor triangular meet Wednesday. The Cardinals piled up 110 points. U.

of D. was second with 20 and Chadsey third with 8. Don Rebtoy picked up 14 points, and Ken Millison added 12 'i to lead the Cardinal scorers. Bill Barton, a converted half-miler, turned in the meet's outstanding performance when he toured the 440 in :50.8. Mackenzie had little trouble disposing of Western, 77 5-6 to 31 1-6, in a dual meet.

Hacry Barton won the 100 and 220 andPaul Domeny took the high and low hurdles to lead the Stags. activity was confined to the vocal variety here Wednesday as the Tigers and Philadelphia Athletics went through their third straight day of idleness. Connie Mack, smarting under three straight defeats and seeing his club sunk in the American League cellar, called a clubhouse session for his A s. What went on behind those closed doors was strictly confidential. Ferris Fain, the big first 6acker for Mr.

Mack, declared: "You couldn't print what was said in that meeting. But I think it'll do the club good." THIS WAS the second "meeting" for the A's since they returned from a three-game losing streak in Boston, which included a humiliating 19-0 defeat. Tuesday Mack ordered his club to report at 11:00 a. m. each morning for extra batting practice.

A week of rain has turned Shibe Park into a virtual quagmire, so the A's missed Wednesday's scheduled session. The mud also forced the night game slated for the A's and Tigers to be called off. The Tigers, at least a portion of them, attended another meeting. This, however, was only a chinfest with the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association. They settled for that much activity when Manager Red Rolfe couldn't complete arrangements for a workout.

The luncheon brought forth some enlightening comments from both Tigers and several members of the Athletics cast who attended. FREDDY HUTCHINSON was asked by one of the crowd what he thought of the new balk rule. He answered in a word. "It stinks. "I think It slows up the game," Hutchinson declared.

"It also is a hindrance to the base-runners. They used to be able to time pitchers and get a good break on steals and hit-and-run plays. Now they can't do that." Lou Brissie, who has been slated to pitch for the last three days, answered a question about the Macks being discouraged. Bristling, he snapped: "Why should we be. We've got a good ball club.

We've had a bad start, but before the season is over we'll give a lot of the clubs plenty of trouble." Both teams are anxious to get back into actual competition on the field Thursday. Brissie and Art Houtteman are the choices to pitch in the afternoon engagement. AFTER THURSDAY'S game, the Timers head for Washington and a two-game set with the Senators. Two games with the Yankees and three with Boston will wind up the Eastern. trip if the weatherman will only cooperate.

Titans Batter Hillsdale Trackmen The University of Detroit track team walked off with nine firsts and 10 second places to whip Hillsdale, 86 to 45, and register its second dual meet triumph. The Titans, led by Ed Van- denBerg, who picked up IS points, slammed the 100, 220, 440 and discus. VandenBerg too both hurdles in :16.1 and :26.4 and placed second in the pile vault and high jump. Wally Gruber pulled down secondary scoring honors with victories in the 440 (:52.2), 220 (:22.2) and a second in the century. U.

'Yanks Gypped Says Dick GEORGE WEISS, New York general manager, told him two things in particular, many In general. One of them was a promise that Dick would be given a fair chance to prove that he could make the grade with the defending world champions. Another was to dangle the lure of getting into another World Series this autumn if he agreed to the terms being offered. Weiss pointed out that the World Series check would more than restore the $5,500 slice in salary Richard finally agreed to take. Wakefield claims, that he was not given a fair chance to cut the ice with the Yanks.

"I was with them for the first 10 games of the season," he said. "I did not play one inning. I made two appearances as a pinch-hitter. I got one hit. "Two weeks after the season begins, I'm told I'm being traded.

I don't think Weiss has lived np to his agreement with me that I'd be given a chance to make the club." And that is why, he told Lane, he did not report to the White Sox as he was supposed to do.

The National Boxing Association ordered a thorough examination of Charles. It agreed to shift the test from Pennsylvania to the Illi nois commission jurisdiction at Charles request. In addition, Raschi made an error, wild pitch, yielded 10 hits and walked four. Phil Rizzuto drove home three runs to spark the Yank attack. Luke Appling was the White Sox star, driving in two runs on a single, double and triple.

GIL COAN blasted a bases-filled home run with two out in the seventh to lift Washington to a 4-3 victory over the St. Louis Browns in a night game. Ned Garver had a three-hit shutout in his grasp until the seventh. The Browns nicked Sid Hudson, the winner, for. two runs in the first inning.

They moved into a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning when Ken Wood connected for his fourth home run. CLEVELAND AB II 8 2 2 .1 2 3 BOSTON A AB I 4 1 Knntrr.rf 4 Dohy.ef 4 (ordon.3 4 3 Vernon.

Chips Lose Game and hifielder Cooper Breaks Leg as Titans Win, 7-1 Central Michigan College lost more than a baseball game here Wednesday.

The Chips headed back to Mt. Pleasant after absorbing a 7-1 defeat at the hands of the University of Detroit and minus their second baseman', Ron Cooper. Cooper will be confined to Mt. Carmel Hospital for several weeks with a compound fracture of the left leg. THE INJURY was described by Lloyd Brazil, Titan baseball coach, as "the worst break I've seen from a baseball injury in 30 years." Cooper pivoted at second base on an attempted first-inning double play.

His spikes apparently caught in the bag as the base runner slid into him. The game was held up 40 minutes until Cooper could be moved to the hospital by ambulance. U. of D. won the game with a six-run uprising in the fifth inning off Starter Leo Rozyla.

Triples by John O'Connor and Arnold Cas-carano and a double by Paul Ma-zade sparked the rally. The victory was the Titans' second in three starts. Central Michlran OOO OOO 100 7 1 Detroit OOO 160 OOx 7 11 1 Kozyla. Haurk 6 and llauss. Cohen 1: Totte and VanHevele.

"I still believe Dick might wanted him here (Chicago) to Sunday. It would have helped us pened to get a hit or two it would have put him off to a great start in his home town." The Sox boss heatedly pooh-poohs Weiss' claim that Wakefield is now Chicago's property. "That's ridiculous," Lane stated. "There was nothing signed between the two clubs. The deal was made with the proviso that Wakefield report to us by Sunday.

He did not. Therefore, the deal is off. When Weiss comes out with his: 'Let the buyer beware' theme, he's all wet. It was part of the deal that he deliver Wakefield to me by Sunday. He did not deliver the goods.

What could be plainer than that." Lane said that Wakefield made it clear that he had no aversion to playing ball with the White Sox. "Indirectly, he made it plain that he didn't expect us to get in the Series," Lane chuckled. "That was when he told me that we would have to come up with the extra $5,500 to cover the difference that he said Weiss said he would get back when the Yankees won the pennant again."
