Trucks Tosses Second No-Hit GameOfSeasbn ' t’i ■' . A''‘ V ' By UNITED PRESS The historic second no-hitter by Virgil Trufcks of the tattered Tigers stood today as a memorial to baseball’s famed “surgeon gener- • «al," Dr. Robert F. Hyland — “the . greatest friend a player ever had.” was the last player Hyland treated- before he died Jn December of 1950 and the Detroit firebailer never forgot how the St. Louis surgeon restored his dead arm to life. \ A “It has been as if a .little of Dr. Hyland was living in me.” he said when he realized that after a year of almost complete i uselessness to Detroit in 1950, he s once again would be a star pitcher. Today, after that 1 to 0 no-hitter, was all the more notable because it was achieved against the mighty world champ Yankees by a listless last place club, Trucks again remembered about the ‘ friepd of basball, who did so much for so many players.” “He told me when he treated me that if the arm didn't respond I could come back and he would work on it Trucks said. “He died shortly that,-but I never would, have heeded to go back - - —except to express my gratefulness."

' '' v Over Glen Flanagan BOSTON, UP — Irrepressible Tommy Collins, the toy Boston bull dog. boastfully promiser todhy that he’d lick any featherweight in the world who attempted to lay a finger on his “duration” North American crown. The so-called North American title stands for the duration of world featherweight champion Sandy Saddler’s army service. The cocky little “dead end kid” said he expected that the first boxer against whom he vynild defend his title would be the . European champion Ray Famechon of France. Fresh from a 15-round unanimous decision Monday night over clever Glen Flanagan of St. Paul Minn., the 24-year-old Collins had been expected to defend the championship within 45 days against either Percy Bassett of Philadelphia k)i;, Frederioo Plummer of Panama. > “Neither Bassett or Plummer made the weight in their bout at Panama Sunday night,” said Anthony Valente, Collins* manager.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

I Today's Sport Parade ! | (Res. U. S. P.L Ott.l I By Jack Cuddy I— . o NEW YORK, UP — Manager Freddie Hutchinson of the Detroit Tigers said today, “Virgil Trucks’ no-hitter against the Yankees illustrates a point I’ve been making for some time—that our club has the best pitching staff in the American; league." .-/Youthful-appearing } Freddie, an erstwhile right-handed flinger himself, voiced his superlatives while sitting in his small office, just off the visitors’\dressing room beneath Yankee Stadium. A reporter him, “hpw come then, you guys are clear down in the coal bln, eight games behind seventh-place St. Louis.” The brown-haired, six-fOoter in the gray road-uniform straightened up in his swivel chair and repield: “Our pitchers haven’t had the hitting and fielding support they deserve. But we’re improving in both departments now. And next we’ll have a much better club thj)t should go places.” Did his optimism about the 1953 season mean that he hkd been approached about managing the club next year? \ “No, I haven’t been approached,” he admitted. Then he added eagerly, “but I’d sure like a shot at the job again next season. I think we can go places.” , * placed Red Rolfe at the Detroit helm on July 5, most baseball men regarded his appointment as a mere stop-gap move. They figured some experienced pilot would be brought in after thV current season has been completed. However, it seems now that he has at least a 50-50 chance of being reappointed. The morale has improved, and the Tigers are drawing remarkably well at home —better than last season’s fifth-place outfit. Their present 874,000 indicates the home figure will be well above the 1,000,000 mark. Why did Hutchinson assert thdt he had the best pitching staff in the circuit? “Because I’ve got five starters while most managers are worrying about three or four,’* he answered! “I mean each of my five is a fellow who should go out there and win if he gets reasonable support at bat and in the field.” The five he named were Ted Gray, Art Houtteman, Hal Newhou'sei 6 , Billy Hoeft and Trucks. Ned Garver and Dave Madison from the Browns will bolster a strong relief staff. . “But you’ve got to have support,” he continued. “Look at Trucks’ record this season. Although he’s good enough to have tWo no-hitters and a one-hitter to his credit, his record is five won and 15 lost. At least five of his games were lost by one run.” Detroit is the only major league club that never finished last in a pennant race and Hutchinson is striving desperately to protect that distinction. STATE FAIR (Continned From Page One) during this The lights ana noise of the midway figured to lure most fairgoers. Cetlin gnd Wilson concessionaires picked up the pieces of their storrh-wrecked equipment at Sedalia, Mo., and fulfilled their contract to operate the midway despite the handicap of damaged property. > Trade in a Good Town —Decatur
