Today's final workout was to be
a light one.
Recent practices at Maryland
indicate there will be one sopi1o-
more, Fullback Joe Fullerton, in
the starting backfield Saturday.
He's a 185-pounder who has
shown himself an able runner and
blocker. The halfback Jobs are
filled by two juniors, Ed Modze-
lewski and Bob Shemonski, who
proved their ability last year.
Mighty Mo" was a solid player
all season, while Shemonski de-

two touchdowns in the Gator

Quarterback will be handled by
Sophmores Jack Scarbath and

been shifted back to defensive

The final chapter of the Ameri-

today and, like a good "who-dun-

OF the three contenders, the Sec
ond place Tigers appear to be in
the best position to take charge.
They play single games today and
tomorrow while the league-leading
Yankees and third-place Red Sox
are idle. Victories in both of
these games win put the Tigers in
first place.
In addition, the Tigers have an
other advantage as four of the Red

games are against each other.
They take on each other in Yankee

are in Cleveland.

shove the Detroiters into a first

Tigers then move to Cleveland

tomorrow night.
Detroit kept close on the heels
of the Yanks yesterday by nosing

Harrisburg swept their two

score of to 2, the winning run
crossing the plate on Levan's err
ror
Manager Dutch Dorman was put
out of the game by plate umpire
Burnett when the two of them got
into a real rhubarb on a strike call
ed against DePalma in the fifth
inning
AL Bennett went the route and
Fletcher was his battery mate. For
Harrisburg it was Wood, a left
handler, and Dunterman.
The Senators took a one-run
lead in the first Broukal, the first
man up, singled to center and
went to second on Bobzeans sim
gle, also to center. Cox popped
up to third for the first out, but
Bennett walked Finn to fill the
bases. Carrow was up next and
he flied out to deep rightfeld,
with Broukal scoring after the
catch and Bobzean moving to third.
Bell then flied to left to end the
inning.
Hagerstown tied it up in the
second when Fletcher, the first
man up, doubled to left and
scored on Tedesco's single to left.
Tufano then grounded to Carrow
at third who threw to Bobzean at
first to retire Tufano, with Ted
esco going to second, but when
Rocky tried to go all the way to
third on the play Bobzean whipped
the ball to Carrow and Tedesco was
out on a close play. Simmons end
ed the inning by flying out to cen
ter.
The Senators came right back in
the third to go ahead 81. Bob
zean got his second straight hit, a
single off the pitchers glove. Cox
popped up to third for the first out
and Finn grounded out third to first,
with Bobzean taking second on the
play, from where he scored on Car
rows double to right Bennett then
struck out Bell to retire the side.
The Braves had fine scoring
chance in the fifth but couldn't
cash in on it. Tedesco, the first
man up, singled to center and went
to third when Broukal let Tufano's
grounder go through him for an
error, to put men on first and third
with none out. Simmons walked
and the bases were loaded. Ben
nett popped up to short for the
first out and then DePalma, after
vigorously protesting called
strike that finally resulted in
Dutch Dorman getting into the act
and being thrown out of the game,
hit into double play to retire the
side.
Hagerstown, however, came back
in the sixth to tie it up at %.
Heinbaugh, the first man up, was safe
