President Will Harridge im posed the penalty on Wagner for a dispute with Umpire Ed Hurley over a play at the plate in Wednesday night's game (Cleveland won). Wakefield was suspended for pushing Umpire Bill Grieve after being called out on strikes in Thursday night's game (Cleveland won.) In addition, Wagner was fined and Wakefield $50. THE INDIAN'S won the Friday game in easy style behind the six-hit hurling of Southpaw Gene Bearden, who chalked up his 14th victory of the year. Joe GoTdon hit his 25th homer of the campaign and Lou Boudreau and Ken Keltner each chipped In three hits as the Indians assaulted Diz Trout, Al Benton and Hal White for 14 hits to keep alive their pennant hopes. The first inning was all Cleveland needed to sew up the decision.

Singles by Thurman Tucker, Gordon, Keltner and Boudreau produced two runs. They added three more in the fourth inning with doubles by Tucker and Catcher Jim Hegan sandwiching a bunt single by Bearden. TROUT RETIRED with his 13th defeat against 10 victories for a pinchhitter in the fifth, and in the last half of the inning the Indians hopped on Benton, his successor, for three more scores. Singles by Keltner, Boudreau and Dale Mitchell plus a pass to Walt Judnich did the trick. White was on the mound when Gordon poled out his homer in the sixth.

He also was the vie- tim of the Tribe's final run, scored in the seventh on Bou- dreau's third hit, a fielder's choice and a double by Bearden. Vic Wcrti played left field, replacing Wakefield, who was notified of his suspension before the game. The defeat sent the Tigers back to Detroit on the short end of a 3-5 record for their final road trip of 1948. DETROIT CLEVELAND I AR A AB A 1 innn.s 2 fi (I 4 2 3 Tuiker.rf 2 A Wert.

Coaches Bennie Oosterbaan, i Si" Jolted 'Em with a Capitol Circuit conference title in 1945 but since that year injuries, ineligibilities and now tragic death have ruined his efforts. The Vikings, despite these losses, will be rough this fall, you can depend on that. They'll have a mission to perform every minute of their eight-game season. i BOSTON (JP) Joe DiMaggio slugged the New York Yankees back into the Ameri can League pennant ine lanKee cupper Deited a grand-slam lOth-inning homer to lead New York to an 11-6 triumph over the league-leading Red Sox. DIMAGGIO'S BLAST was his 34th of the season and increased his pace-setting runs-batted-in to tal to 134.

The loss ended a nine-game Red Sox winning streak and cut their lead over the runner-up Yanks to two and a half games. The Yanks jumped on Starter Jack Kramer for two runs In the first inning on Tommy Henrich's 22nd four-bagger of the season with one on. Boston pecked away at Vic Raschi and tied the count with single runs in the first and third innings. The Yanks broke the tie rwith two in the fifth and knocked Kramer out with two more runs in the sixth to take a 6-2 lead. RASCHI, HOWEVER, was pounded out in the bottom of the sixth, the Sox scoring three runs to pull to within one of a tie.

Boston tied the count in the eighth on a walk, Dom DiMaggio's double and Johnny Pesky's long fly. Earl Caldwell, fifth Rd Sox pitcher, held the Yanks at bay in the ninth, but they caught up with the 42-year-old righthander in the 10th. Caldwell walked Gus Niarhos and hit Winning Pitcher Frank Shea with a pitched ball to start the frame. Caldwell then fanned Pinch Hitter Charley Keller, walked Henrich and fanned Hank Bauer but DiMaggio broke up the game with his circuit drive.

(JP) Notwithstanding sundry rumor3 to the contrary. President Abe Greene of I the National Boxing Association said that no new heavyweight champion will be declared until Joe Louis retires officially. That puts the damper on any hopes of matching the winners of the Jimmy Bivins-Ezzard Charles and Jersey Joe Walcott-Gus Les-nevich fights and calling it a title contest. BIVIN'S and Charles tangl? In Washington Monday, and Walcott is slated to meet Lesnevich in City, Sept. 21.

Greene, however, did leave the door open. He said that the heavyweight muddle probably would be the main topic on the agenda when the NBA convenes for its annual meeting for three days starting Monday In Philadelphia, "Obviously, the winners of the two fights would be considered the outstanding fighters In the heavyweight division," Greene said, "but that's not news. Who else i there Greene said that Louis would be the guest at the NBA's dinner Tuesday night, and that he expected some definite word to be forthcoming from the champion at the time.

Heilmann, broadcaster of all Tiger games, will be given an assortment of gifts by bis admirers. The presents range from a new car to a solid gold lifetime pass to all games In Briggs Stadium. The twin bill with the lowly White Sox opens a long 22-game stand during which the Tigers will meet everv club in the league before closing the 1948 season at Cleveland Oct.

With any kind of co-operation from the weatherman the club stands a good chance to establish a local attendance record. The previous mark of 1,722,590 was established in 1946. As they open their long stand at Briggs Stadium, the Tigers are a few thousand under the 1,500,000 figure with 22 games on tap before they roll down the curtain.

Lansing Gridders, Coach Are Looking for a Break BY HAL SCIIKAM If there is one high school football team, and a coach in particular, who deserve a break this fall it's Everett High, of Lansing, and its hard-working tutor, Charlie Sweeney. Biggie Munn and Chuck Baer all have scheduled "dress rehearsals" unaer actual game conditions ior Saturday. Results of the drills will go a long way toward establishing the line-ups which will start the opening games two weeks hence.

ON THE EVE of the first tough practice game, Oosterbaan ex- ei rnri a ri'Oi IfiAhitvqn'a early practice performances The new 'coach pointed out that, contrary to expectations, the Wolverines have demonstrated a stronger passing attack than a running game. "I expected just the reverse, Oosterbaan said. "With Bob Chappuis gone, I definitely thought we'd be more powerful on the ground. It hasn't turned out that way so far." Gene Derricotte, the fleet halfback who is expected to furnish much of Michigan's ground attack, has been hampered by a hip Injury. He is expected to take part in the scrimmage, however.

OOSTERBAAN is anxious to observe the work of his brightest sophomore prospect. Leo Koceski, in the Saturday drill. Koceski is pushing the veteran Walt Teninga for the right half spot vacated by the brilliant Bump Elliott. At Michigan State, Munn lost two outstanding tackle candidates as he split his squad for the drill. Carl Nestor, senior letterman who played both tackle and guard last season, was forced to abandon football because of a spine condition.

Team Physician Charles Holland advised the 180-pound Nestor that it would be "dangerous to continue his football career. John Wheeler, another letter-man tackle, was ruled ineligible because of scholastic difficulties. AT THE UNIVERSITY of Detroit, Baer will use his veteran stars on a "red" team for the scrimmage. This outfit will have Danny Boisture and Arch Kelly at the ends; Angus Kennedy and Tom Finnin at the tackles; Bob Greiner and Ed Wood at the guards and John Packo at center. Operating behind this line will be Bob O'Malley, Walt ruber, Jack Kurkowski and Mike Kays-serian.

The other team will have Gene Herman and Frank Audette at the ends; Alex Smail and John Kennedy at the tackles; Joe Mullen and Bill Guay at the guards and Jerry Greiner at center. The backs will be Ed Jeakle. Joe Wright, Jack O'Leary and Jim Massey.

Schartrer's 17-year-old son, Kenneth, and Paul Dorer, also 17, were killed. The senior Schartzer remains In serious condition in an Owosso hospital. Kenneth was to be the Vikings regular quarterback this season. Dorer was his understudy.

Last Saturday Everett suffered its first loss when Capt. Paul Williams, also a quarterback, was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident. THE DEATH of Schartzer and Dorer, plus the loss of Williams, climaxes five years of tough luck for Sweeney at Everett.
