GriHs Rally In Seventh.
Howard Ehmke, the slim and
tall Highlander, was Manager
Cobb's hurting choice. and did very
well, save for one wild inning in
which the Griffs made inroads on a
nine-run lead. That was in the
lucky seventh. when the locals
pounded out fve hits and as many
runs
While this was going on Mr.. Cobb
was working himself into highly
nervous state in the outheld. He
swung his arms like a windmill, he
yelled signals and made several
trips to the infield to- warn Ehmks,
not to get too rambunctious. H1s
just as well the rally ended whs II
did. or the Georgia Peach might
have had nervous prostration.
Except for the seventh Ehrhlre
was entirely satisfactory to his
boss. Three hits was all he allowed
in the other eight frames. Several
wild spells. however. made the sit
uation interesting and one of them
presented the Griffs with the first
marker of the game.
1t was not one of Johnson's good
days and he had to retire under fire
in the fifth when the Tigers more
than batted around and hung up six
runs. That hectic batting session
settled the game. Erick did the fin-
ishing stunt without distinguishing
himself. The side-arm HEAVIER was
too wild to be effective. The first
thing he did was to dish out three
bases on balls. which isn't the way
a relief pitcher should act.
Cobb Stars at Bat.
In addition to his managerial du-
ties Cobb had a busy day with the
willow, cracking out two singles
and a triple and scoring a couple of
runs himself. In the sixth inning he
counted on a double steal without
trouble. which is a notable achieve
ment with Charity and Harris
handling the ball. For a youngster
of only Is years experience in the
majors, Ty looks like a pretty fair
ball player.
When the Griffs got to Ehmke in
the second for a tally, the fans fore
saw a pitchers battle, for John
son had retired the enemy in order
in the first two rounds.
That opening score was all due to
Ehmke's lack of control. Miller had
singled with one out when the IT,
ger boxman walked Shanks and
Charity in turn. This gave O'Rourke
a chance to shoot a long fly to
veach and Miller counted when the
veteran outfelder dropped the pei
let. The miscue didn't make any diff
ference. however. as there would
have been no chance to get Miller at
the platter on the fly.
johnson showed his first signs of
obbling in the third. when the
Tigers took the lead with two runs.
With one out BasslerNwas safe on
o'Rourke's boot. Ehmke grounded
out. but Blue walked. Singles by
Bush and Cobb counted the runs.
Tigers Go wild In Fifth.
The fifth brought the turning point
of the game, when IL batters faced
johnson and it began to look as II
the side would never be retired.
Ehmke opened with a two-sacker
and took third on Blues safe bunt.
Bush forced Blue at second. but Cobo
slammed a triple against the fence
in right. bringing Ehmke and Blue
home. Veach singled and Cobb
scored Heilman doubled and Tailed
veach, and Jones' double was a
ticket for Heilman.
Barney beat it for the showers
and Erickson came in. He filled the
sacks by walking Sargent and
Bassler. and Jones scored when
Ehmke hit a sacrifice fly to- Rice.
The sacks were again full when
Blue worked the Swede for a free
ticket, but the side was retired amid
Shanks-
over another marker in the sixth.
With Ty on third and Bobby on first
as the result of singles. they staged
a successful' double steal when Har-
ris made a high return to the plate.
In the seventh the last hostile
score was made on short hits by
Sargent. Ehmke and Blue, filling the
bases. and Bush's sacrifice fly to
Dfsver.
Big Round Helps Griffs.
The game took on added interest
in the Griffs' half OF the seventh
when they showed over i've counters.
Shanks. FIRST up. got three bases on
a drive to center which bounced over
Coob's bean Charity brought him
in with q long Ole TO Veach. After
ORourke had opped to Jones. the
fireworks began. Erickson surprised
the natives with a double to right
and Judge walked. Harris singled
Ertck home and Rice advanced Judge
to third with a safe one to right.
This gave Brewer a chance to get
his daily pinch blow with a two
sacksr to right. counting Judge and
Harris Miller was hit on the wrist
and took first Shanks had his sec
ond opportunity in the inning to de-
liver. but flied to yeach for the
final out
Hope of another rally was born
In the ninth when Judge cracked
open the frame with a single and
Brewer got a life on Sargent's error
with two out. Joe was forced at
third. however. on Miller's hot one
into Jones' paws.
