~ ETROIT, September 25.-They
laughed when Mickey Coch-

that his Detroit Tigers we're
going to win the American League
pennant.
He had Just been acquired from
Philadelphia in a 100000 deal and
the skeptICs were unanimous in the
belief that the Tigers would stay
in second division during his first
season as a manager.

season showing, but the scofers

half games. They beat the Yankees in
2 double header the first day, Alvin

the series, three games to two.

OSTON, September 25.-Heinie
x Manushs hopes of winning
the American League batting
championship for the second
time in his major league career were
all but blasted today as the Nationals
prepared to head home and ring down
the curtain on sad campaign.
Only by dint of a remarkable bat
ting squirt can Heinie now overcome
Lou Gehrig and Charley Gehringer in
the Griff's remaining five games, and
it is doubtful if Heinie cares to risk
further aggravation of his ailing legs
by playing all of EN-.
The big outfielder'S hopes we're high
when he smacked the apple at 400
clip in the Cleveland series, enabling
HIM to boost his average for the last
Western trip to 1888, which was quite
a feat considering his dismal perform
anceS in Detroit and Chicago. Osten-
silly he had shaken off his slump and
was ready to give Gehrig and Geh-
ringer a battle for the laurels. But in

Manush was a total loss.

I'VE PLAYED two of the four
games and batted for 900 in
nine trips to the plate. When
he went hitleSs again yesterday in five
trips he lost two more points of his
average, which has shrunk to .35l.
Gehrig, meanwhile, was getting two
of the Yanks' four bingles in Boston
while Gehringer idled. Manush now
is four points back of Gehringer and
seven back of Gehrig.
Heinie was almost pitiful at bat in
the Philadelphia series, which ended
with the AS favored, two games to
one, and a tie.
= Had he even been able to bunt up
to the usual Manush standard, Heinie
might well have helped the Griffs to
tie the score in the ninth inning of
the opener Yesterday. But even in
this he failed
