COAST BOAT TAKES ALL HEATS Slo-Mo-Shun Wins Gold Cup; Marks Fall heats of the 43rd Gold Cup race. A CROWD ESTIMATED at 100,000 fans lined the banks to see the Allison-powered craft literally run its opposition off the Detroit River as it rolled to two records in this blue ribbon classic. gruelling 90-mile route. The former record was 75.55 mph, set a year ago by another great West Coast boat, Stanley Dollar's Skipalong. Slo-Mo-Shun compiled the heat record in the second heat when it averaged 80.897 mph for the 10 swings around the three-mile course.

The Seattle Slo-Mo Shun established a heat and race record, and My Sweetie posted a lap record before a mechanical failure forced it out of action. Thus the Gold Cup record book was completely re-written. Slo Mo Shun averaged 78.21 miles per hour for the That run brought to the United States a speedboating record England had held since 1939 when the late Sir Malcolm Campbell pushed his Bluebird to a mark of 141 mph. Despite that performance the Seattle boat was a com petitive question mark. The Gold Cup was her first actual race and she proved her greatness beyond any doubt.

Guy Lombardo's rebuilt, but thoroughly outclassed Tempo VI, was the only other boat in the original field of eight to finish the full route. As a craft had an average of 80.151 mph for the first heat and a clocking of 73.692 mph for the third heat. SLO-MO-SHUN came to Detroit after establishing a record of 160 mph for a measured mile straightaway on Lake Washington last month.

That will be the second annual Free Press-Detroit Lions' charity football game Aug. 15 at the University of Detroit BY TOMMY DEV1NE The Gold Cup is headed west for the first time in speedboating history. The world record holding Slo-Mo-Shun IV, owned by Stanley Sayres, of Seattle, and piloted by Ted Jones, a 39 -year -old Boeing airplane engineer, swept the three Sad Tale: 'No Pitch, No Field' -Bengals Start Well but Collapse Early BY BOB LATSIIAW Free Press Staff Writer NEW YORK The rampaging New York Yankees cut the Detroit Tigers' American League lead to a half -game by administering a second straight shel lacking to the Bengals.

This time the score was 10 to 4,1 as Tiger pitching remained in state of collapse and the fielding-wasn't much better. i Tommy Byrne scattered seven; hits to score his fourth straight-victory over the Tigers before a crowd of 42,685. ALTHOUGH the pitchers Hal Newhouser, Fred Hutchinson and Hal White allowed 12 hits, the1 Tigers kicked over nearly enough runs to beat themselves. Three er- rors two by Jerry Priddy and one by Don Kolloway permitted four I unearned runs to cross the plate. At that, Byrne was lucky to be around at the finish.

The Tigers had plenty of opportunity to get him out of there in the first two frames. During- that stretch he walked four and gave up a pair of singles, but the Bengals could score only one run. After that Byrne settled down and the Tigers didn't score until the seventh when wildness helped Detroit tally two runs. But by that time Byrne was coasting behind a 10-1 lead. FOR THE SECOND straight, day, the Tiger starting pitcher couldn't get by the third inning.

Newhouser started but saw his 1-0 lead vanish in the second in-1 ning. Joe DiMaggio's single and a triple by Bobby Brown produced the Yankee marker. In the third, the Yankees belted six singles and four more runs came in to end New-houser's stay on the hill. Hutchinson took over in the fourth and the Tigers fell apart in the fifth. The Yankees scored three runs, two of them unearned, on a pair of hits and then White finished the inning.

He was nicked for another pair of unearned runs in the sixth when two singles were sandwiched between a pair of errors. This was "the fourth defeat in the last five games for the Timers, who now have a record of six victories and five defeats on the Turn to Page 2, Column 8 Rogovin Faces Lopat in Finale NEW YORK Saul Kognvin. the Brooklyn-born right-hander, is the Tigers' last hope of staying in first place. Manager Red Rolfe named Rogovin as the starting pitcher for the final game of the series here Sunday. Rogovin will be making his fourth start of the season, with a record of two victories and one defeat.

Kd Lopat is Manager Casey Stengel's choice for the Yankees. Lopat is the Yankees' leading winner with 12 victories. He has won five of his last six starts, including a two-hitter against the Browns. Rogovin will be attempting to do something no Tiger starter has done in this series get past the third inning. Ted Gray lasted two and a third and Hal Newhouser went three after giving up eight hits and five runs.

If Saul doesn't win, the Tigers will return home half a game behind the Yanks. ALTHOUGH the Tigers lost, Friday night's game was a happy one for Frank House. He mae'e his first play as a major leaguer, when he relived Aaron Robinson in the ninth. That was Hoi se's ambition just to play. "Man, was 1 an excited kid," House declared.

"Play my first ball in a game with the Yankees and before 62.000 fans. 1 was excited I could hardly get to sleep." -LATSHAW Tigers result it gained shallow runner-up honors. The Gold Cup was the story of what Slo-Mo-Shun accomplished and what little Lou Fageol in My Sweetie almost accomplished. Slo-Mo-Shun made a show of the field in the first heat as Jones and his riding mechanic, Mike Welsch, "poured on the coal" from the opening gun until they received the checkered flag. In the opening heat Slo-Mo-Shun took the lead as soon as the field negotiated the first turn and from then on threw the spray of its giant "rooster tail" into the faces of the opposition.

BY THE END of seven laps Slo-Mo-Shun had lapped all rivals excepting My Sweetie and Tempo. He took Tempo on the eighth lap and caught My Sweetie, 1949 Gold Cup winner, 100 yards before the finish line. My Sweetie was the runner-up in the inaugural heat, with an average nine miles per hour slower than Slo Mo Shun. Tempo vai third and Bob Bogie's 225- class boat, Blitz III, was the fourth and final finisher. Jack Schafer's entry of Such Crust I and II; Chaz, owned and driven by Charley Klein, of Long Beach, N.

and Dee Jay, of D. J. Murphy, of Philadelphia, all went out with mechanical troubles. Fageol, diminutive automobile executive from Kent, replaced the ailing Bill Cant-rell at the wheel of My Sweetie on the second heat and promptly began to set the stage for a classic upset. Fageol sent My Sweetie spinning around the course in a fashion reminiscent of a year ago.

Fageol rushed to the front at the starting gun. and, to the surprise of all, Jones couldn't do anything about catching him. LAP AFTER LAP, Fageol, a little fellow with a heavy foot, pushed My Sweetie hard on the straightaways: and maneuvered her brilliantly on the turns. On the fourth tour, Fageol had My Sweetie clicking at S6.200 mph for a lap record. Lap by lap, he built a lead on Slo-Mo-Shun.

Going into the final lap. My Sweetie led by a full mile. Then disaster struck. Only a quarter lap from home, My Sweetie spit fire, limped half-heartedly for a few yards and conked out. The game little pilot floated helplessly in mid-stream as Slo-Mo-Shun came on to take the victory.

An oil pressure failure was held responsible for My Sweetie's troub'e. Tempo was second. The only other second-hrat starter was Dee Jay. She flipped on the hairpin turn during the third lap and sank. Her mechanic, Jim Crudden, of Haddonfield, N.

was taken to Deaconess Hospital. His injuries were not serious. The pilot, Norm Lauterbach, was unhurt. With My Sweetie out, only Tempo and the outclassed Chaz challenged Slo-Mo-Shun on the third and final heat. THE FINAL LAP was a cake-walk for Jones in Slo-Mo-Shun.

With victory assured if he went the distance, the slender, soft-spoken pilot drove conservatively all the way, but still had far too much speed for Lombardo in Tempo. Chaz spilled in the first lap. Its pilot, Charley Klein, wa3 not Bob Bogie, the 26-year-old Saranac Lake driver, dropped out of the Gold Cup after the first heat and then put Blitz III in the Edinburn Trophy race for 22-5-class craft. He won the second and third heats with ease to take the title. Detroiter Bill Muncy in Mi Son finished second and Lou Butler, Granville, was third in Barracuda.

At- THE PITCHER Gets Assist on Strikout BOSTON (U.R) The scoring rules say a pitcher must not be credited with an assist in strik ing out a man. but Maurice McDermott of the Red Sox had to be given one when he struck out Jack Bruner of the Browns.

The third strike got away from Catcher Matt Batts. It bounded into fair territory to the right of the plate, but Batts couldn't find it. So McDermott had to rush up. grab the ball and fire it to first ahead of Bruner. So he got his assist, rule or no rule.

Topping the parade of newcomers are two of the outstanding youngsters of modern gridiron history Leon Hart, of Notre Dame, and Doak Walker, of Southern Methodist. Hart and Walker are two of the four gridders who will represent the Lions in the annual College All-Star game at Chicago on Aug. 11.
