"I'LL TELL you, added manager Bob Scheffing," It was the easiest shutout I've ever seen anybody pitch." What did Lary think? "It was all right, he said. "The thing I like about it was that I threw only 87 pitches." Eighty-eight," said Ferrick. "Eighty-seven," said Lary. Ferrick got out his pitching charts.

"Eighty-seven," said Ferrick. case for himself. He has won his last five starts, all route-going jobs, and has allowed only four runs in that time. Tom Ferrick, the Tigers' pitching coach, called Lary's 6-0 victory over the Cleveland Indian's last Thursday night Lary's best game of the season. "It wasn't the most dramatic, but from a standpoint of pitching technique.

It was almost perfect," said Ferrick, "He kept hitting the right spot all night, throwing strikes low and inside, low and out- record. Lary, coming with a rush, has pushed his mark to 19-6. Ford still holds a slight edge, having won two more games while losing three less. But Lary's supporters point out that the New York pitcher has had to be bailed out more often than a seasick sailor. LUIS ARROYO has mopped up in more than half of Ford's victories.

Ford, himself, credits Arroyo with much of his success. "I'm as good as Arroyo feels," Ford says. Lary, meanwhile, has gone the distance 18 times in 29 tries, top mark in the majors. He hasn't needed a Lefty Looie to save him. "I don't know much about awards," Lary says.

"I never won one. 'But there's time enough for that after the season is over. The important thing now is for us to win as many games as we can." The Cy Young Award was instituted in 1957 by commissioner Ford Frick. Frick felt that the pitchers generally were overlooked In the voting for the most valuable player award and felt they de served their own award. The balloting is done by a panel of baseball writers.

WARREN SPAIIN won the award in 1957 with his 21-11 record for the Milwaukee Braves. The stylish southpaw pitched the Braves to their first pennant. Lou Burdette had a hand in it too, winning 17 games, but the vote was overwhelmingly in Spahn's favor. Bob Turley (21-7) took it in 1958; Early Wynn (22-10) in 1959 and Vernon Law (20-9) last year. Lary is building a strong that case I should win it" The award, of course, goes to the best "pitching pitcher" and no longer does Whitey Ford have a corner on all the votes.

Two months ago, yes; one month ago, maybe; but not any longer. Lary is throwing a stiff late-season challenge at the Yankee ace. The award, in all likelihood, will be decided in September. In fact it could be settled in the two showdown series between the Yanks and Tigers. Ford, who has been brilliant all season, owns a slightly sensational 21-3 BY JOE FALLS Free Pre Staff Writer WASHINGTON "The Cy Young Award? What's that?" Incredibly enough, it was Frank Lary speaking, the man who may walk off with pitching' highest award this season.

But don't be deceived, there is still much of the small boy in this professional pitcher, so the game of cat-and-mouse went on. "The Cy Young Award," he was told, "is given each year to the best hitting pitcher in baseball." "OH," LARY SAID." In Frank Lary NEW SYSTEM AT MICHIGAN STATE NOT USED Coaches on QB Hunt Can Lions Rebound? BY GEORGE PTJSCAS The real test for the Lions comes now now that tney have been beaten. Can they bounce back? Are they as good as they think? Those are questions which come up out of the Lions' 23-14 loss to the champion Philadelphia Eagles here Friday night. It has been a while since the Lions last lost a game Nov. 20, 1960.

EV BETWEEN were seven victories, some great perform ances, a few loud boasts for the future. Boasts come easy, however, in, the midst of a winning streak. Streaks bring momen tum, and with it, team con fidence. Now, In one game, the mo-menrume is gone. Will the confidence be gone, too? "I don't think so," said Lion coach George Wilson.

"We know we can play better ball 'than we did against the Eagles. It was a good game to get out of our systems now when it doesn't mean too much." will have to fight off Frosty EvashevskL Daugherty, whose quarter-oack search means the Spartan situation is normal, is already turning the sharp phase in mid-season form: "We have changed the offense to help the defense." THE ALTERATION in attack is where the "bi-line system" comes in. Mainly, it means that the Spartans will use both the balanced and the unbalanced line this autumn. The balanced line is back for the first time since before the Munn-Daugherty era, which began after Charley Bachman's last season In 1946. "It will help the defense because we practice against ourselves," says Duffy.

"We are. getting a. lot of DETROIT? Wins TO LOSING THE LIONS can look for-; ward to meeting another of the Eastern Division teams In their fourth preseason warmup here Friday night. The opponent will be the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Cardinals provide an opportunity for the Lions to get on the right track again. "We've had a lot of minor injuries In the last few weeks," said Wilson, "and we've been determind to give these players rest to make sure they're ready for the season opener (Sept. 16)." Such key men as defensive tackle Alex Karras and halfback Dan Lewis were withheld against the Eagles. This third preseason appear ance of the Lions was a sloppy affair, the ball changing hands 14 times on fumbles or pass in terceptions. But it did reveal a few things about the Lions WILSON WILL have to decide soon if he has not already on who will quarterback the Lions.

Likely the choice will be Earl Y(LP ft I I WILL PAINT ANY Miss Preuss Bombed in Golf Final Mrs. Decker Rolls To Win TACOMA, Wash. (UPI Mrs. 'Ann Quast Decker, dainty 23-year-old housewife with a killer instinct, crushed blond Phyllis Preuss, 14 and 13, Saturday to win the A National Women's Amateur golf championship for the second time in four years. It was' the worst lacing ever recorded in the finals of the 61- year-old tournament.

The previous most lopsided win came in 1928 when the great Glenna Collett (later Mrs. Vare) walloped Miss Virginia Van Wie, IS and 12. Mrs. Van Wie later came back to win the crown three times in a row. But it is doubtful if Miss Preuss, a slender 22 -year -old who summers in Michigan and winters in Florida, ever will come back aa long as Mrs.

Decker Is around. THE CHAMPION, from near by Mercer Island, never lost a hole aa she played near perfect golf over a course dampened by early morning rains. Outweighing her rival by about 15 pounds, she outdrove her by some 15 to 40 yards on every hole. "It was the best series of golf matches I ever played," said Mrs. Decker, who is married to a young dentist." Better than when I won the title in 1958." This was strictly no contest.

Mis Preuss, a long shot who admittedly "never won anything," obviously was nervous and her game Just fell apart. She lost her power off the tees and her accuracy around the green. Her tee shots, which had been booming out around 200 yards in previous matches, fell off to about 150 yards. Crowded at Top Caboto defeated Sport Club, 2-1, Friday night to tie for first place in the Michigan-Ontario Soccer League. Big 10 BY BOB PELLE If coaches must be brief, these are the words for the start of Big Ten football practice: Bump Elliott: "Give us depth." Duffy Daugherty: "Take a look at the bi-line- system." Six coaches, Including Daugherty again: "Give us quarterbacks." ONLY FOUR schools, as squads meet the press Thursday and go to work Friday, have established quarterbacks.

The list shows Ron Miller at Wisconsin, Dave Glinka at Michigan, Wilburn Hollis at Iowa, and Sanford Stephens at Minnesota. Everywhere else the job is up for grabs, and there are those who say that Glinka 4TH TITLE FOR oeller Gains Special to the Free Prtss ALTOONA, Pa.

Daugherty figures the Spartans lost more games through defensive rather than offensive failures last year.

HE IS GOING all out on the bi-line system. Every MSU play is designed to work with either' alignment up front. Duffy thinks this makes State the first team in collegiate history to run its complete offense behind both the balanced and unbalanced line. Coaches normally stick to one system and sprinkle In a handful of plays from the other. There is no change, though, in Duffy's celebrated optimism.

He says the Spartans have a chance to win the Big Ten championship. a Pair, Chapman with a homer and two runs-batted-in and Zeiter with two doubles. Zeiter was also the big gun at the plate In the second game, knocking in both of Moeller's runs with a pair of singles.

Only Illinois, Northwestern and Indiana are excluded.

Elliott, on Duffy's select list of seven possible championship coaches, isn't certain he belongs there. He thinks less of Michigan's chances than he did In May. Bump admits to one fine Wolverine unit, but after that he isn't so sure. "We worried about depth in the spring," he says. "And the problem is more acute now." ELLIOTT FEARS the shortages will show in the defense, which kept Michigan within reach in every game last fall.

At the end of the season, to practically everybody's surprise, the Wolverines wound up first in the conference on defense. Over the summer, Bill Freehan, who would have alternated at one end, was lost to some $100,000 of Detroit Tiger money, and Phil Garrison, who might have been a starting tackle as a sophomore, was killed in a traffic crash. Further down the depth list, John Sligay, a center from Dearborn, was fatally struck by lightning, and sophomore halfback Paul Geis entered the priesthood. Then come the physical doubts. Quarterback Bob Chandler, halfback Jim Ward, and center Lou Pavloff sat out the spring with bad knees.

TACKLE LARRY Piotrow-ski and fullback Ken Tureaud had bad shoulders. There is the injury-prone history of center John Walker. Tureaud says he is all right, but Elliott hears that the graduate of Cathedral played golf the other day and was unable to carry the bag on his touchy shoulder. Stockham, Detroit Cage Pioneer, Dies William G. Stockham, who starred on some of Detroit's great early basketball teams, died Saturday after a brief ill-jness at Deaconess Hospital.

He was 76. I Mr. Stockham had a long and i distinguished career in sports. In his youth he played on teams which helped establish Detroit as a center of amateur and semi-pro basketball in the early 1900s. In later years, he was known in sailing circles as one of the finest cat-boaters on local waters.

Services will be held Monday at the Verheyden Funeral Home, Mack at Outer Drive, and at St. Columba Church at 1 p.m. Survivors include Mr. Stock-ham's wife Helena; a daughter, Mrs. James Eathorne; a son, George and a sister, Mrs.

He had won pre-vously in 1935, 1956 and 1958.

Gail Pierson of Natchitoches, won the women's crown with 91. Glen Everts of Pe-waukee, a 17-year-old, held on to the junior title with a 95. Pro honors went to P. J. Smith of Lakewood, with 98.

Morrall, who in the preseason has completely outstripped Jim Ninowski. The Lions seem to move better now behind Morrall than NinowskL although a year ago the opposite was true and Ninowski was being hailed as "the quarterback of the future." Ninowski and Warren Rabb, slower to pick their targets, were constantly harassed by the Eagles. Without benefit of Lewis' speed in the backfield, the Lions could give no fair showing of their running attack, even though they labored all week on it. AS IT WAS, they accumulated 134 yards, their best total in three games. Howard Cas-sady picked up 47 of it in one lump, on a brilliant open-field dash.

Some new casualties were added to the growing toll. Guard John Gordy suffered a brain concussion and defensive halfback Bruce Maher injured his back.
