But, Schoolboy, how about that
arm?" he was asked How did it
feel when you kept moving the
Cardinals down one after another
from the third inning until the fin
ish?"
II just gotta get another chance
at those Cardinals" the pride of
Ed Dorado (Ark) said as if he
hadn't heard of it.
I'm gonna hit one so far they'll
have to look all winter for it. I
feel awfully bad about those strike
outs. And hope the folks down in
Ed Dorado won't hold it against me
until get another shot up there at
that plate"
Rowe Wants to Hit One
So Rowe, the 22-year-old pitching
phenom, who came within one man
of pitching nine innings of perfect
baseball-no hit, no run, no man to
reach first-from the third through
the twelfth inning of the Tigers 80
victory yesterday, still nurses his
old ambition to be hitter.
Last spring Manager Cochrane
had to enlist the aid of group of
Detroit newspaper men at the Ii
gers training camp to scare a sore
arm out of Rowe. Schoolboy wanted
to play the outfield and told Coch-
rane his arm was sore. So Mickey,
who suspected there wasn't anything
wrong with Rowe's wing, took the
scribes into his confidence, and
asked them to send out this story:
Rowe goes back TO Beaumont I'M
less his arm shows an improve
ment."
There hasn't been anything wrong
with Rowe's arm since Schoolboy
read that yarn.
Schoolboy and Edna Mae Skin
ner, the Arkansas school marin, will
be married a few days after the close
of the world series. Pete Fox Tigers
right fielder and Rowe's roommate
and buddy, will be best man. After
the last game Schoolboy and Edna
will visit with Fox and his family at
Evansville Ind, and then will have
a secret wedding.
Bridges Has Fine Record
AS the Tigers special rolled
through Michigan, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois last night, hundreds of
fans gathered at the stations en-
route to greet them. There were
shouts for Where's the Goose?"
Lets see you Schoolboy." Come
out Mickey
Gordonsville, Tenn, will attempt
to horn in one some of the worlds
series glory shared thus far by
Holdenville, Ark, home of Dizzy
Dean, and Ell Dorado, Ark, School
boy Rowe's home town. Detroit's
starting pitcher for the third game
is Tommy Bridges, who halls from
Gordonsville and won only two
games less than Rowe during the
regular campaign.
Il feel SWELL" Bridges said before
retiring last night, land am ready
to follow up behind Schoolboy."
Bridges, a graduate of the U. of
Tennessee, has what many term the
greatest curve in baseball. Three
times in his brief major league
career he has pitched one-hit
games; twice against Washington
and once against the st. Louis
Browns. In one of these games
Dave Harris, a pinch hitter, spoiled
a perfect game for Bridges with two
out in the ninth.
Walker Even With Dir
Rogers Hornsby, Browns man.
ager, picked Bridges to be the pitch
ing hero of the series before it
opened. Last night he still hadn't
changed his opinion, saying: Il ex-
pect Bridges to. curve the Cardinals
right off the field"
A little tongue lashing by Dizzy
Dean helped Gerald Walker get the
hit in the ninth inning Of the sec
ond game which tied the score, %.
In Walkers first appearance as a
pinch hitter in the first game, Dean
famed him. Dean was around the
Tiger dugout yesterday, riding
Walker.
You never should have swung at
those pitches, Jerry" Dizzy said. Il
was just fooling with you. never
throwed you anything good, but you
swung like the old creaking door on
the farm back home"
