Dick Wakefield is playing en-

his booming bat is making the
Detroit Tigers look fearsome m

York's Batting
Gains Victory
Over Senators
Wakefield Helps
Big Rudy Warm
Up For August
BY WATSON SPOELSTRA

DETROIT, July FL - (P) -
August is additionally Rudy
York's big month. and he may
have been warming up for an
other burst of base hits when he
drove in four runs yesterday as
the Detroit Tigers defeated the
Washington Senators, z to 6.
Big Rudy got ample assistance
from Dick Wakefield. who
belted homer off Roger Wolff
in the fifth inning or his third
round-tripper in nine games
since he. rejoined the CLUB.
Wakefield drove in two runs.
With this one-two punch, che
Tigers gained their third straight
victory of the series and tenth
triumph in Is games with Wash
ington this season. 1t likewise
was Detroit's seventh victory in
nine games in the current home
stand. The defeat dropped
Washington out of fourth place
tie with Detroit and Cleveland,
who remained deadlocked.
Seeking a sweep Of the series
and Detroit's fifth successive
victory, Manager Steve O'Neill
named Paul Trout to face Mick
ey Haefner of the Senators to-
day. Trout's goal was his 18th
victory.
BECK STARTS
Yesterdays triumph was re-
corded despite an eminently un-
successful experiment of elevat-
ing bullpen artist Walter Boom
Boom) Beck to starting pitcher.
Boom Boom left in the third
when he feiltd to protect a
three-run lead. Rookie Rufe
Gentry did we'll enough there
after to end a five-game losing
streak although he needed the
help Of Hal Newhouser in the
ninth.
Beck's control trouble and
two errors gave Washington two
runs without a hit in the first,
but Detroit got those back
quickly on successive singles by
Eddie Mayo. Roger Cramer,
York and Wakefield. The Tigers
scored three more in the second
as Milo Candini gave way to
Roger Wolff.
Joe Hoover beat out a bunt
with out one out, Mayo walked
and Cramer singled to fill the
bases. York's single to left

Spence, and Kuhel scored when
nch-hitter Joe Vosmik forced
Powell. On this play Mayo post
ed a vigorous claim that Powell
had grasped his leg to interfere
with a chance to try for a double
play. The Tigers lost out on
that argument, but with Terrell

was thrown out trying to steal
second.

AL Siewert and Gordon Bel
leau collaborated to help Pryde
Tool & Die to a 9 to 0 victory
over Miller's airy Bar at ST.
Mary's Stadium last night. Bel
leau was in great form as he
held the Dairymen to a lone
hit and that bingle didn't come
until the seventh inning with
one man out. He struck out
eight Miller batters and walked
three. Siewert, for the second
time in eight days, connected
for two home runs. He was re-
sponsible for the first four Pryde
markers.
Vern Smith was the victim
of ten Tool & Die safeties, the
winners punching them to score
at least once in every inning but
the second. After Ed Kuss had
walked to lead off in the Pryde

by Jack Craze. Siewert then

Wagon Hur|er
Stops Bar.B.Q
in 7.0Count
Lost Chance Once
But Rings Bell
in Second Try

During the first round of the
Major Softball League schedule,
Henry Duckert, Covered Wagon
pitcher. came one man away
from getting a no-run no-hit
game. He had sent 20 men back
to bench but the next batter
doubled for the only safety
chalked up against him.
Last night, however, it was
different as Hank" succeeded
in holding River Pointe hitless
at Covered Wagon diamond
while he and his teammates
pounded out seven safe blows
10 win by a 7 to o count. 1t was
the first no-hit performance for
Duckert in his many seasons of
softball.
Opposing Duckert was Tom
my O'Brien who deserved a bet
ter fate. He received some poor
support in the field from his
teammates and only three Of
the CIV runs were earned. Sew.
en- errors were committed by
the River Pointe club.
TWO ERRORS
Dale Snyder, leadoff man for
the Trailers went all the way to
third on two errors and scored
as Dutch" Phillips was being
retired on a ground ball in the
first inning. In the second for
CIV Bernie Shields singled and
after a strikeout, Harold Red
loske walked, Shields moving
10 second. Pfiel then hit to short
and when an error was made on
the hopper, Shields tailed and
RedloSke wound up at third. Vic
Browne lined out a single and
both Redloske and Pfiel came
in. The next batter struck out,
but Snyder doubled to bring in
Browne to give the Trailers a
five-run lead.
The winners picked up an
other marker in the third on
John Fleming's single and
Shields double and counted their
final run in the sixth. Duckert
singled and stole second. Red
loske hit 10 short and Duckert
was thrown out at third base,
Redloske being safe on the
fielder'S choice. Two passed
balls advanced Redloske to
third and he scored when the
Bar-B-Q third sacker made a
poor throw to first on Pfiers
grounder.
STRUCK OUT IL
River Pointe was helpless
against Duckert's rise ball and
II of them struck out. Only two
Pointers reached base. In the
fifth Harold Urmy was safe on
an error and stole second but
was left there when the next
two men famed. Bill Purcell
walked in the sixth with two
away and went to second on a
passed ball. Ernie Lawrence
ended the inning by going out,
third to first.
Shields went plateward twice
and collected double and sim
gle for perfect average TO take
batting honors for the game.

.2B,416 War Captives|
In U. s., Byrnes Says;|
10000 Able 10 Work

War Mobilization Director James
F. Byrnes disclosed last night that
there are 226,416 war prisoners In
this country, of whom nearly 169,-
600 are available for work at Army
installations or in civilian capacities
where they can be used to Offset the
manpower shortage.
Beyond the statement that "a 1926
prisoners had been formed into So
called Italian service units" there
was nothing to indicate the ma
tionality Of the men.
The figures were based on a re-
port from the War Department to
the OWN complied as Of August l..
In the preceding month"; was said,
10000 prisoners had been received.
Nearly $1,000 prisoners are un-
available for work, including Of
flcers and noncommissioned officers
who are exempt under the terms
Of the Geneva Convention. Physi-
cal incapacity-some from battle
wounds-is responsible for inability
to use the others.
While the percentage of indi-
viduals employed has reached a
satisfactory level, the productivity
of prisoners in many instances has
been below that of civilian labor"
the report said.
Harvesting, processing of food,
forestry and logging were the prin-
cipal occupations of prisoners re-
placing civilian labor.
The Army is the largest user of
prisoner labor and, according to the
report, the utilization of the men

Power Plants an Issue
A law, passed by the 1913 ses-
sion of the state legislature which
would permit the purchase of
statewide electricity distribution
systems, will be on the ballot un-

plan would permit public utility
districts to combine and make the
purchases, then operate or resell
the plants to the Individual dis

to county boundaries, or parts of

counties for their operations.
Power companies and others are
