lean League, and he is satisfied that
Detroit win so through the latter part
Of the season giving a fine battle to
everybody. Many base bail critics
who have been watching the team
have about the same opinion as
AIoriarty. There is more self-reliance
in the Tigers this year than they have
had in a decade. The players are be-
ing told to use their own noodles and
bring out some of their own base ball
and not look to the bench for every.
thing in the way of advice.
Holloway, who won yesterday from
Cleveland, and Gibson, Whitehil1 and
Stoner have managed to do some
thing in the box for Detroit. That
isn't all Detroit has in the way of
pitchers. Gibson should lead the
world in some ways. Every time that
Stoner is successful Fort Worth will
let out three cheers. In Texas they
think he is a good pitcher VINO has
been soured for some reason.
All the Western teams in the Amer
lean League are well punched, with
st. Louis leading. and the Browns
we're least expected to lead any of
the time. The reason for the bunch.
ing is that the teams are well match.
ed. The reason for the success of st.
Louis is that the team is making
runs at the expense OF all it's rivals
and mystifYing a lot of folks who
can't see why it happens.

have been had to date on the
pitchers who may carry the Tigers to
the loftiest pinnacle of the 1927 pen
nant scramble in the American
League.
In every season in which Detroit
has been beaten for the pennant in
recent years there have been some
who attributed the teams failure to
ineffective pitching. That has not
been the only reason for the lack Of
a championship at Detroit since the
days of Hughey Jennings. but it has
been part of the reason.
After slow and late start the
Tigers have been making a stubborn
fight of it this season and today
stand in sixth place, with five games
won and five lost. They trounced
the Cleveland Indians Thursday, 8 to
S, by making one of their dangerous
outhursts of hits in a seVenthinning
rally. They make runs in bunches
very often, much like the New York
Yankees do.
How Moriarty Figured.
George MoIiarty, the new Detroit
manager, started out with two pre-.
sumptions when he began to handle
the players this Spring at San An
tonic, Tex. One of them was that
the team did not know much about
base running. or else was too lazy to
try It, and the other was that the
pitchers had been coached to death.
The pitchers said Ty Cobb had an
nhcasSinYs fAy. cpbnd Htrf1pr Ctnhh xxra Z
manager. A pitcher might have a
fine change of pace and a good curve
ball, but when an emergency arose
with runners on bases, Cobb would
rush In and emphasize the necessity
to use speed. There are times when
a pitcher can work out what he wants
to do about as well as a manager.
OF course, the manager has the last
say, but the manager who interferes
too much with a pitcher who has a
delivery of great variety is as likely
TO break the confidence of the pitcher
in himself as the batter is likely to
break it.
Moriarty let his pitchers go their
way at San Antonio. Now and then
he directed attention to the fact that
a certain batter might be afraid of a
curve and anoher might not like a
slow ball, and he cautioned all of them
about keeping the ball up when a
batter was trying to bunt. But he
did not suggest following a course
that would call for too much of one
thing, whether the pitcher thought he
could handle 1t we'll or not.
Has Built Up Box Corps.
That kind of suggestion has built
up a pitching staff for Detroit of
which Moriarty is sure he will feel
proud. He has notion that Detroit
will be dressed up with better pitching
this year than it has had in five years
and maybe more. He has confidence
in his pitchers because he has found
out that they are getting confidence
in themselves. They are not speeding
up now as they win later, because the
weather has been against them.
Moriarty expects that when the
fourth Of July has arrived his pitch
ers viii make as good a showing as
those of any other team in the Amer.

A q fitting c1mmemoratlon of the 6Sth Anniversary of their founding, The Great Atlantic X Pacific Tea Company is holding nationwide celebration. The company was found ed in the year 1859 and has had a most remarkable growth in its sixty eight years of business life. Estab- lishmcnts identical to Jonesville's own A&P store are scattered eountry- wide in thousands of communities m thirty-one states.
 Every store in this great chain $ joining in the celebration of the founding of the business. Accord ing to the usual custom. the public has been asked to participate, doing so in q way that affords many benefits. This participation Is made possible by an expression of appreciation for the public's patrons and is typlilei by drastic reductions in retail food prie- es during the period of the AnnNef- sary celebration.
 The idea is singularly unique. in that the company Is noted for is unusual low price policy as i staud- ard business code, and HOW. n View ef the 6sth birthday event, the prie- es assume even lower level than the customary popular custom
 Many will recall that shortly aftet the war, when the natlen was atcus- toned to big prices for almost every table necessity. The Great Atlantic X Pacific Tea Company were first to sponsor movement for lowering bread prices. This event sounded the signal for movement fostered to bring food prices back tu their pre- war level
 Again. when coffee prices were soaring and the Brazilian market at fered an opportunity for the AMP te give their customers the benealt If lower retail prices. immediate steps were taken to bring the cost of coffee to the consuming public down to q lower price level.
