sending Heiiman across the plato with
the run that decided the issue.

rounded by infuriated Yankees. Several
Of the Tigers tried to horn into the argu-
ment but were led away by Manager

make his escape and retreated from the
field with Higgins and Scott and divers
and sundry other Yankees muttering at
his heels.
