TIGERS BATS
RESPONSIBLE
FOR SUCCESS
BY HENRY SUPER
~ Enr


United Press staff Correspondent
NEW YORK. Aug. 2.-The De
troit Tigers, functioning less eff
ciently than the team which won
the American league pennant in
1884. nevertheless are 21a games
better off than they were at this
stage Of the race a year ago.
It was on August 1. 1884. that
the Tigers gained q single game
lead on the New York Yankees
a lead they never lost during the
remainder Of the campaign. Today
Mickey Cochrane's men rest 3la
games ahead of the Yankees.
The Tigers rise to their present
formidable position is somewhat
phenomenal when compared with
their record a year ago.
Lynwood CSchoolboy) Rowe, ace
Of the Tiger pitchers, on Aug. 2.
1884, was in the midst of a 10
game streak, which he eventually
increased to 16, and had lost only
four games. This season Rowe is
far below that peak-he has won
nine and lost nine-but still the
Tigers are leading the league. The
reasons are:
l. The collapse of the Yankees.
?. Increased potency of Detroit
bats.
Hank" Greenberg, Tiger first
baseman, leads both leagues in
homers with %. A year ago he was
18th with Is. Charley Gehringer,
second baseman, is first in runs
scored with ST. Greenberg is fourth
with So Greenberg is third in hits
with 1873 and Gehringer is tied for
fifth with 1874
Thus, it takes no mathematical
genius to see where the Tigers will
finish If Rowe should come back
and his teammates continue at
their present clip.
The Tigers increased their lead
yesterday by defeating the St.
Louis Browns, 6-3 while the Yam
KEGS were idle. The Chicago White
Sox lost an opportunity to tie the
Yankees for second place by drop
ping an 8-3 decision to Cleveland
Earl Whitehil pitched Washington
to a 9-5 victory over the Boston
Red SoX.
The Chicago Cubs lost a chance
TO go into a virtual tie with the
idle first place New York Giants
IN the National league when they
lost, 6-5, to the Pittsburgh Pirates
The Giants now lead by a full
game. The Brooklyn Dodgers de-
feated the Boston Braves, 4-2, to
move into fifth place over Gin
cinnati. which lost. 7-5, to the st.
Louis Cardinals. The victory broke
the Cards four-game losing
streak.

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
BY United Press

After a day Of streak-busting in
the Pacific Coast league, the San
Francisco Seals held a two-game
lead today in the dash toward the
second half championship.
The Mission Reds and Pitcher
Ken Douglas, of Oakland, were the
principal sufferers in yesterdays
upsets.
The Reds we're stopped by Hol-
lyWood after winning five straight
games. Douglas was beaten by Sc
attic after he had pitched three
victories in a row without permit
ting an earned run.
Batting rallies in two innings
sufficed 10 give Hollywood a AS
win over the second place Missions
Joe Di Maggie, for the third
straight night, was the hero Of
the San Francisco Seals 5-3 win
over Los Angeles. His home run
with a mate on base in the eighth
inning gave the Seals their win
ming margin.
Seattle scored its second straight
over Oakland in winning a pitch
ing duel between Howard Crag-
head of the Indians and the left

NEW YORK. Aug. 2-The Bri-
tish government, through its min
istry of labor. no doubt, has de-
creed that in the future profession
al athletes, such. as cricketeers, Soc
cerers, ruggerers, and tennisers,
shall be placed on the dole during
the off seasons of their sport.
The British government evident
ly figured that during the months
when adverse weather prevented
sports, the men who SO gloriously
uphold the British prestige and
furnish entertainment to millions
of subjects should be taken care of.
Naturally, when an understanding
of the British generosity seeps
through the skulls Of our American
professional athletes there is going
to be tremendous clamor that
Washington follow suit.
I may be looking too far ahead,
but it seems to me the British gov
ernment has offered a life-saver TO
the Republican party. The Repub-
ncanS, so desperate Tor platform
they are rolling around in the
grass roots, might do much worse
than make the proper provision for
athletes in the off-season the chief
plank in their 1886 platform.
The question would lend itself
beautifully to slogans, and the Re
publicans are strong for slogans.
What could be more stirring. more
appealing. than a Republican cam
paign cry Of:
"Soupbones for every southpaw"
Or:
"Hors d'ouyres for every oars

curity of Babe Ruth alone. For the
past five years, or ever since the
baseball fans of the country first
realized that Ruth some day would
have to retire on mere pittance
of a half million dollar or so trust

row. Right now there are thous-
ands of fans unable to sleep at

golfing, fishing. hunting. and play
ing bridge in a miserable hovel Of
a penthouse.
OF course, IN adopting the relief
of athletes in the off-season as its
platform. the Republicans would
have a fight on their hands. For,
unlike British athletes, American
pros have many ways to pick up
money in the closed season. There
is the matter Of endorsements, for
example. For some reason, the
American public just will not try a
new patent medicine, chew new
gum, or crunch a new breakfast
cereal unless it carries the guaran-
tee of a noted athlete that it will
clear the liver, bulge the biceps,
and take three coats of film off

at the most.
