other day. And what the gem
on the head.
Schultz is one of the best
centerfielders we've ever had"
he stated, and ? good hitter
with it. Remember last winter
before we made that trade with
St. Louis we heSitated a moment
before letting Sammy West go
in exchange for Fred, but we're
not sorry now as Schultz has
come through marvelOusly for
us and hits almost as well as
he has fielded."
A pretty fair idea of how we'll
Schultz has played this season
was given when the veteran was
in a hitting slump recently. In
stead of falling down in his field
ing, as well as in batting, Fred
played even better in the field
and made catch after catch that
bordered on sensational.
"A great test there all right
for Fred" Uncle Clark Griffith
unused in conclusion in his CAB
fest. "That's when a guy must
show his true worth. I'd say
Fred did"
First game: Bridges found
that he had to force himself
somewhat in the early going as
he pitched three and two" base
ball to most every Griff batter.
Only One Hit
The young Tiger was wild
enough to be effective, however,
as the Griffs could gather but
one hit off his shoots during
the first three innings.
Crowder gave up one run to
the Tigers in the second when
Greenberg and Stone singled,
Owen forced Greenberg at third,
then Bridges singled, Stone scor-
ing. Hayworth popped to Kuhel
and Rogell flied to Goslin to
end the frame.
Gehringer made an excellent
one-handed catch of Manush's
liner in the Griff's fourth. The
Tiger second-sacker jumped high
for the ball, stabbing it just as
it was passing over his head.
Schultz took the fifth to retire
the Tigers all by himself when
he came through with three
excellent catches. The first was
at Rogell's expense when he
travelled far to his left for that
players drive.
The second was off Fox when
he came in fast for his low liner,
while the third was off Walker
when he backed up almost
against the wall in center to pull
down his long fly. This latter
catch was especially timely, as it
saved CroWder a run as Gehrin-
ger had just a moment before
reached second on Myers two
base error. The Griffs had a
great chance to score a couple
of runs in the sixth when
Manush singled and Cronin
doubled with one out.
RUS ON brakes
But Bridges put on the brakes
by retiring Schultz on pop to
Greenberg and Kuhel on third
strike.
Cronin and Crowder pulled
some strategy in the Tigers sixth
and it worked. Two were out
when Owen doubled down the
left field line. Here Hayworth
was passed on purpose. Bridges
followed by striking out to make
the strategy look good.
The Griffs finally broke into
the scoring column in the eighth,
thanks to Goose Goslin, who
stretched a normal single into a
double by fast running. Manush
moved Goose to third on his
grounder to Greensherg, while
Cronin drove the needed marker
across on his fly to Fox, Goslin
scoring after the catch.
Second game-The GriffS be-
gan much better here by pushing
across four runs before Pitcher
Fred Marberry, Tiger starter,
could catch his breath.
Marberry Goes Out
Marberry was drilled off the
hill after walking Stewart to fill
the bases for the second time in
the frame, a recruit pitcher by the
name of Eden Auker taking his
place and retiring the side by
striking out Myer.
Singles by Myer and GoSlin and
walks to ManuSh and Cronln
showed over the first run for the
Griffs in this inning while Kuhers
double with the bases packed sent
over the three other markers
gathered during the inning.
Marberry then passed Berg and
Stewart to fill the bases again
after Sluege's pop to Greenberg
and Auker came in to fan Myer
ending the Frame.
Auker got into boiling trouble
in the third when he walked
