For the past two days Manager
Johnson's men have collected
early leads only to see the oppo-
sition crawl up on them and
either tie the score or win out, as
yesterdays s to Tiger triumph
sadly tells the tale.
Sunday. the Griffs collected a
comfortable S to / lead which
looked like the old ball game
until the Tigers started working.
How the GriffS eked out victory
by virtue of Cronin's homer and
Crowder's timely relief pitching is
now history.
But yesterday the Tigers were
not to be denied. The Griffs
went ahead again. got themselves
another comfortable lead, then
lost because the Tigers would not
quit.
The whole thing can be mar.
rOWed down to the weak pitch
ing put up by the Griff
mOundsmen, when you come
right down to it. These leads
certainly would be held and
games won, If the pitchers were
able to hurl their heads off
and win.
But such is not the case it
seems for this year at least.
Even big Fred Marberry is slip
ping these days in trying to pitch
winning ball. His performance
yesterday marked the Second time
in as many starts that he has
been unable to hold up his end
after his mates had practically
won the game for him.
Still a great deal Of the blame
for yesterdays loss can be laid
to Bump Hadley for it was his
weak hurting in the pinches that
enabled the Tigers to win after
the Griffs had collected a to
3 lead for him.
Lloyd Brown, who pitched the
ninth inning, actually let the win
ming runs score off of his de-
liverys but a break favored the
Tigers in their rally which de-
cided the issue.
Brown went in practically cold
after johnson, first up in the
ninth, had singled off Hadley.
Gehringer hit into a double play,
Myer to- Cronin to Kuhel, but
Stone singled to center.
Alexander then lifted a fly to
right field and Dave Harris,

Times staff Correspondent


DETROIT, Aug. 25.-It's gotten
to be serious business with the
Griffmen-the realization that
they must win quite often these
days in order to keep ahead of
the New York Yankees for second
place.
So psrilous has the situation be-
come that Manager Johnson's
men are getting together in hud.
dies before and after games figur.
ing things. Deep sighs are taken
when the thought passes their
minds that the Yankees might
overhaul them for the runners-up
berth.
1--WE can't let anything like
that happen, that's final" Is
what AL Schacht, comedian
coach, has to say. Gee, I've
just gotta have that second
place share of the world series
dividends, that's ALL"
Not losing second place money
seems to be the thought of every
man too. when roundup is taken.
Finishing there does not mean
anything else to them at this
time, now that they're practically
out Of the race as far as first
place is concerned.
Thus, the talk, the discussion,
and the huddling business,
The prospect of beating out
the Yankees does not appear
bright, if the past performances
between the two teams for the
season means anything. The
Yankees have taken eight games
in IA played, while one has been
tied.
This means the Griffmen have
won only four engagements. Nine
more are on schedule. The indi-
cation points to battles for blood
as the Yankees want that second
place position as much as the
Griffmen.
The Griffmen, before they
entered this series with the
Detroit Tigers, aimed to take
four straight, by the way.
Their chances Of doing such
are nil, now that they have
dropped one game to the Ben.
gals.
But said Griffmen have a new
thought at this time. It is to
win the edge in the series which
means that victories today and
tomorrow must be gained.
Manager Johnson's men should
take the edge if the record Of
his team against the Tigers for
the season bears any fruit at
all. The Griffs have captured IL
games while only dropping four
in the seasons dope.
Lloyd Brown, despite the fact
that he was called upon in the
ninth inning of yesterdays game.
will do the pitching for Manager
Johnson today. Brown will be
out to gain his twelfth triumph
Of the season.
The sturdy Ieft-hander looked
very good against the Cleveland
Indians last week when he
beat that team, 6 to 3 for the
Griffs only triumph in that
series.
Art Herring is the Tiger choice.
Brown and Herring battled in a
pretty duel last month when the
Tigers visited at Griffith Stad.
ium. Brown won by a 2-to-1
score.
With Herring on the mound
for the Tigers, Sam Rice will be
back in right field. The 4O-year-
old veteran has been idle from
the starting lineup the past two
days because Manager Bucky
Harris of the Tigers has been
shooting left-handers at the
Griffs.

BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June 15.-The
depleted federal treasury was being
repIenished today to the extent Of
about 100000 900 by income tax re-
turns and payments from foreign
countries on their war debts.
Despite these receipts, however,
the government will close its fiscal
year on June 80 with a deficit Of
nearly a billion dollars. The de-
ncit now is s1,0e5 900. 900. It will be
reduced to about S700,00o,000 by to-
days receipts, but most Of this gain
will be Offset by operating expenses,
for the rest of the month.
Thousands Of big and little checks
pouring into collectors offices rep
resented the second installment Of
1881 income taxes. These payments
are not expected to run much over

to the treasury in income taxes.
Thirteen foreign governments at
the same time were making quarter
ly payments of Sill, 835,000 in inter
est and principal on their war debts
of $11 ,000,0 100000. The payments of
principal, totaling $l9,0O0000, must
be applied to reduction Of this coun-
try's public debt. The rest goes
into the treasury's general fund
Payments on foreign debts today
were as follows: Belgium, $5,675 900;
