TIL be the Tigers this afternoon
at Griffith Stadium they're
| dropping in for three games that
/ will wind up the Nationals first
long home stand of the season
and bringing three familiar to
Capital fandom Goose Gosln'
Fred Marberry and Carl Fischer
and this Detroit club touted the
VESTS best, is arriving in third place
eager for the blood OF a fifth
place Washington outfit.
The Tigers will face one OF their
old teammates in the series opener
today Manager Cronin says Earl
whitehir will left-hand his way
against the visitors maybe
Mickey Cochrane. the new master OF
the Tigers, will have Schoolboy Rowe
or Tommy Bridges on the hill.
Other than Cochrane behind the
bat and Goslin in left field the Tigers
are no different this time from last
year same infleld and IN
addition to Goslin Cochrane is using
White, Walker and Fox in the outfleld
Detroit had the last-named
three in there at odd times last season
Larkin, right-hander brought
up from Shreveport, seems to be the
ONLY new pitcher Cochrane is using.
Mickey has been shifting his lineup
frequently since his club came East
he has not been hitting and has
dropped himself well down the list
the Tigers as lot are next to
the lowest batting club in the league
Gehringer. their second base
man, is the only .300-class regular
Goslin wasn't hitting his weight
for a time started as poorly as
he did with the Nationals last year
then benched himself since
getting back in the game he has
moved along at 258 clip which
brings the Goose's season mark up
to .220.
This new lively ball when hit surely
travels right back at the pitcher

tenth inning. Burns drilled one d.
rectly at Burke Bobby turned
Just in time to take 1t on the hip.
then retrieved the ball and tagged
his man in the second game
Thomas took a fearful pounding over
the heart from Peppers smash In the
second session dropped the pitcher
like a log and Tommy was out
for a spell he revived to get
along right well but showed
big blue mark on his chest after the
fray and Jim Weaver had his
hands torn apart by Kuhel's smash in
the fourth frame but Strange
managed to get the ball for play.
Kuhel hit in both parts of the
double header to make 1t Is games
in a row with safeties for him
Manush ran his string of games with
hits to IA by cracking four singles in
the opening part of the bill . but
the string was snapped in. the alb
breviated nightcap.
Washington's pitchers aren't sorry
Cliff and Hemsley have left town
those two Brownies were pests in
the three games Cliff was on
bases IA times made six singles
and two double got two passes
on twice through f1elder's choices
and twice by errors in his two
games Hemsley was on base nine
times made four doubles and
three singles on once through
