When the White Sox opened the
present pennant pursuit they looked
like predestined tall-enders and for
quite a spell they played that way.
They quickly sounded the depths OF
the second division and up to az
recently as seven weeks ago :.
seemed as though they were doome +,
to linger at or near the bottoL
throughout the entire season. Then
their pitchers rounded into form and
they hacked their way up through
the league until they had landed in
third place.
The Tigers had a somewhat similar
experience. They, too. were any.
thing but an impressive combination
ut the start. They were horrih
maltreated throughout the ca y
spring campaign against the W.
and didn't get properly started until
they invaded the East. Then they
won three straight from the Yankees
and these spectacular triumphs over
the champions seemed 70 provide the
impetus they needed to get them out
Of their rut.
They haven't been as consistent
at any time this season rs the
White Sox have been during the
past six weeks, but once they get
under way II Is the next thing to
impossible to stop 'em. They have
the most effective scoring punch
that I have seen In a year and II
their pitching staff was more con.
sistently effective they would have
better than q fighting chance to
win this year.
The White Sox haven't the wallop
that characterized the Tiger attack,
but are stronger on the mound and
in the field and strike me as being
more resourceful. Manager Kid
Gleason has fired the club with his
own indosnitable spirit, with the re.
suit that the Sox are one club that
never comedies defeat until II is in
the book. Some clubs are like some
race horses-great front runners
but the Sox fight just as gamely
when they are behind as when they
have a commanding lead.
All they need to gain a position
among the recognized contenders Is
one more pitcher Of demonstrated
ability to work with Urban Faber
Gorham Leverette and Shovel Hodge
and a more dependable third base.
They think they have found the
latter in Willie Kamm, the Pacific
coast sensation, and may have the
former in Ted Blakenship, a nineteen.
year-old recruit from the Texas
Oklahoma League. A strong line of
substitutes also would help
The great outstanding need Of
the Tigers also Is dependable

stuff.

second. Larry Woodall opened with
a single. Oldham forced him and
went up on Blues single. Harris
tossed out Jones. but Cobb's two
bagger sent Oldham and Blue over
the plate.
In spite of their weak pitching,
the Griffs did not quit. They kept
right after Oldham. who has become
a ink to them, and showed two more
runs over in the third. Cutshaw's
tumble put Rice on and Harris
dropped a Texas Lacquer in center
Judge rolled to Cutsbaw, putting It
up to Shanks.
The washington veteran took a
look at Oldhanrs offerings and then
plastered one up against the left field
fence for two bases. Rice and
Harris went over the plate flying.
The Tigers got another Off John
son in the sixth, Lu Blue pounding
out two-bagger and scoring on
Jones' single.
The seventh saw the Tigers com
plete their scoring for the day with
two more runs. Heilmann stopped
a fast ball with his arm, Cutshaw
forcing him. Rigney lambasted
double against the left field wall,
scoring Cutshaw and Woddll ham
Rigney across the plate.
The eighth saw Hank Shaplts
connect for his home run, scoring
Judge ahead Of him for the final
scoring Of the day; Judge nearly
knocked Rigney down with his
blazing single and the table was
set for Shanks.
This time Oldham sought TO TOOL
the Griff veteran with a fast hail
on the inside Shanks landed on II
With all he had. Out went that
ball ever Cobb's head in right cen
| ter. It's first bounce took It al
most to the sun seats. It's second
hop took II right up among the
rooters for a complete circuit of
the bases. That meant two taliies
for the Griffs. not enough to change
the result.
The visitors added two more to
their collection of double killings.
Judge and Peck completed one in
the sixth and Harris, Peck and
Judge did II again IN the eighth.
This Is one department Of the game
in which the Griffmen shine. They
have a long lead over every other
club in the league.

Cobb helped his batting average
with four hits in five times at bat.
but the real batting star Of the
afternoon was Shanks. He made
two-bagger, three -bagger and home
run. He drove in all Of Washing
tons runs.
His homer was a drive far over

ground and bounded twice. The
second bound carried It over the

best, but 1t fell short Of the mark.

blast for three bags over Hsilmann's 8

first inning, but the Tigers waded
right into johnson and took that
lead away, never to lose II.

Two years ago Detroit decided
that johnson was done" The
playersI became firmly convinced
that the master of speed had lost
his stuff. They began arguing just
as strongly that johnson was no
longer a master pitcher as they
had previously argued that he was.
With the change In opinion came
a change in Detroit batting against
Johnson. Players who formerly
were kicking the bucket" when
Johnson pitched, no longer stepped
away from the plate but stepped
into his fast ball and swung or
chopped.
Crowding the plate. something
that Detroit had never done before,
became the prescribed fashion.
They had suddenly lost all respect
for his fast one.

against Detroit last year and he
has not met with success this

day and he went seven innings.
They made fourteen hits off
Walter and six of these were two
