TERE'S the sad tale OF the eighth:
III Fox opened it for the Tigers
with two-bagger. White
hunted and Russell was on the ball
In flash. He whipped to Travis and
Fox appeared sure out at third. But
Donnelly called the runner safe.
Cronin and his cohorts argued long
but in vain. Goslin walked. Geh-
ringer singled two runs crossed and
the Goose pulled up at the far corner
Then Rogell bounded to Kress, who
promptly chucked to Seweil at the
plate. Goslin appeared tagged yard
of the counting block, but Umpire
MCGOWAN couldn't see 1t that way.
Greenberg cracked single to tally
Gehringer ana put Rogell on third.
When Hayworth grounded to Travis,
Rogell was trapped on the line, but
he managed to- dodge out of trouble
and slid in under Russell. covering
the plate, with the fifth run of the
round.
Greenberg took third during the
proceedings and got home when Fox
lined to Manush for the second out.
The ball game was plenty gone.
The Tigers went after Thomas in
no uncertain manner in the opening
round, humping him for two singles,
q long fly and run. One was out
when White rammed hit to center
The inner defense shifted to its left
for Goslin. The direction of the
shift was correct, but the defensive
elevation was not sufficient. The

Cronin's head to move White to third
base. Gehringer's shot to Schultz got
Jojo home.

the middle base when Travis singled
Schultz took the sacrifice sign, but
Cronin was not away from second

by the pitchers toss. Yet there should
have been a run when KreSS rsmmed
the ball toward the scoreboard back

II was q towering hit and II ap-
peared that GoSin might get 1t, Travis
ran hslf way to third and stopped
but Schultz kept tearing after him.
The ball scared above the GooSe's
head to bound from the scoreboard to
left center. Still the timid Travis
went no farther than third Schultz
also took that base and was tagged
out, That kept KreSS' hit TO a single
although the hitter easily made the
middle sack. So everything was wasted
when Sewell grounded into retirement
In the third, the Tigers made great
use Of six hits to score as many runs
Fox opened with a two-baeger and
crossed as White singled. After Goslin
fouled out, White managed to steal
despite several pitch outs by Thomas
Then Gehringer walked. Rogelrs
double scored White and Greenberg's
long single sent two more home Hay

Thomas. Not much help. for Owen
singled on Klines first pitch and
Greenberg was in. Hamlin proved a
soft strike-out victim. but Cronin
chucked wildly after picking up a
bounce from Fox and Hayworth car
