TEAM HOPES
To WIN FLAG
TODAY

Injuries usually take a big toll
on baseball teams, but with the
Heurich Brewers, who meet the
Pig N Whistles today on the
West Ellipse diamond at p. M.
for the Industrial League title, a
surprising exception rules.
The Brewers have carried on
courageously throughout the cam
paign despite the fact the team
has had six players injured.
Forty-three games have been
played by the Brewers, and of this
number "a triumphs have been
registered.
ROSser Breaks Finger
The first injury was to Tony
Rosser, brilliant young catcher.
who suffered broken finger
early in the year, necessitating an
absence of three weeks. Next was
q split hand injury to Larry Britt,
another catcher, who had to SIT
on the sidelines for two weeks
while still another accident to a
catcher was that of Charley Dot
flemyer, who cut his finger.
Charley's injury was most serl-
Gus to the Heurichs, as it came on
the eve of an important second
half double header with the Pig
m Whistles. The Brewers OIL
vided this twin bill.
Later on, George Ortell, regular
third sacker, broke his knee cap
which put him out of action Tor
the remainder of the season,
while still later Huck Stahl, crack
shortstop, suffered a "beanlng
during a league game, which kept
him out of the game a week.
During the absence of one OF
two of these stars, Chris Heurlch,
jr., was brought into the lineup
Chris handled an outfield position
in exceptional fashion, but he,
too, became a victim when he
suffered a torn ligament in his
leg while sliding into second base.
Again in Top Shape
Today the Brewers are once
more in fine fettle for the current
championship series with tn e
Pig n whistles. They hope to
stay in this shape despite the fact
they were able to win while star
members of the roster were on
the sidelines.
Bill Flester, who manages the
Heurichs, hopes to cop the title
today and add one more cham
pionship to the many he's already
won. He plans pitching Reggie
Brown. The Pigs are expected to
call upon Lefty Mcintyre, Blackle
Adair or Walter Beall.
The Brewers won the opener OF
the series last week when they re-
corded a 6 to 0 shutout victory.
Another triumph today will gain
'em the title. However, If the
Pigs win, the third and final OF
the series will be played tomor'
row, same diamond, same hour.

Continued rom rage ~
fore the games in the clubhouse
that if we won today, we we're
in. Well, we won. We're six
and One-half games ahead of
the Yankees, and they're never
going to come close to us
again."
1t was Cochrane speaking. The
fighting saxaphone player was IN
high glee. His tones we're low, but
his firm, not to say prognathlc,
jaw was set. He talked like a
man who had just accomplished
his purpose. And if the Tigers
bear through now and win that
flag, Mickey most certainly has
accomplished his purpose.
But Mccarthy, leader OF the
Yankees, makes no concessions.
He'll tell you that the pennant
race has long way to go. He's
right. Six weeks are long time,
and the hours will seem like years
to Mccarthy as his club chases
the flying BengalS. But the
Yankees are just about beaten.
You knew that if you went
into the dressing rooms after the
games. In the Detroit quarters
the boys were laughing gaily as
they dressed. From the shower
room where half dozen of them
splashed gaily resounded boyish,
light hearted laughter. There
was talk of this hit beating them,
ard how Gehringer's play behind
second base broke up a rally.
Schoolboy Rowe, the towering
giant of the Southwest smiled
broadly as he smoothed back his
glistening hair. Satisfaction, con-
fidence on every hand. Yes, and
with it a determination to carry
on the winning streak, to extend
a. dozen more games and tie the
modern record of 26 straight
games held by the Giants OF
1916.
YankS DiScOnSOlate
In the Yankee dressing room
there was silence. Doc Painter
strapped a bandage on the thigh
of frankie Crosetti. Charley
Ruffing, fowl draped bulk, sat
before his locker. his head on
his hand. Robins thinker cast
in baseball environment. Joe C.
Carthy tied his blue tie and
spoke to a friend. the only other
visitor in the room. Joe said:
"We've got a tough job now.
Maybe MacFayden will stop
them. We've got to stop them
or the last month will be stern
chase"
That's right, Joe. The last
month will be stern chase if you
don't stop those Tigers today.
Right now they're in a spot where
you can't hurt their chances very
much no matter what you do. II
Broaca doesn't pitch any better
ball for the Yankees today than
he pitched against the Griffmen
down home a few days ago,
though, the Tigers won't have
much cause for worry.
BY taking that double header
from the Yankees, the Tigers just
took all the honors away from the
New York club. They scored Is
runs to for the day, and these
added to the totals brought for
ward from previous games, made
the grand total read 83 for Detroit
against 70. Detroit maintained
its hitting edge with "a for the
day added to 1913 in previous
games. making the total 1872. The
Yankees made Is hits for the day,
and now they have made 1873
against Detroit.

NEW OFFICE FOR PRESIDENT

An addition to the Presidents
office building, costing approx
mately $150,oO0, will be erected
this summer, it was indicated at
the White House yesterday.
President Roosevelt said no
definite plans for this addition
have as yet been approved by him
but that he has examined blue
prints Of it. The building will
be erected to the south Of the
executive office along West Ex-
ecutive Avenue and will be about
go feet long. 1t will contain the
Presidents offices, the Cabinet
room and other rooming facilities.
No money is as yet available
for this purpose and the Presi-
dent said he would ask Congress
The Washington times., 1934-04-26

to make the necessary appropria-
tion.
The Presidents business has
increased to such an extent that
many clerks and other workers
in the executive office are severely
cramped. For several months 1t
has been found necessary to use
two offices in the State-War
Building for White House clerks.
In addition, the janitor's room in
the executive office, as well as
several corridors in the basement,
have been requisitioned.
The daily mail has become so
heavy that there is no longer
room in the executive office for
files to hold the letters and out
side space has been acquired to
help out for the time being.
