let the Tigers w - @&zs
take the lead, Frank ''buck" O'Neill
and they will make a procession
of the race from the day they
GUST New York until the finish.
If New York wins this series and
holds its lead-well, the ultimate
outcome may only be delayed.
Aside from the pitching, in
which New York unqueStionably is
superior, Detroit has the better
balanced team. Especially strong
is Detroit's advantage in hitting
and general attack. With Green
berg booming his drives up against
the fences and Charley Gehringer
getting on base to afford an OPP
portunity for Hank to drive him
home, the run producing industry
at Tigertown does not lag. The
two Omen of the Tigers are COM
parable to the Ruth and Gehrig
duet of the Yanks few years
back.
"I keep gettin' on bases,
And Lou keeps drivin' me
home"
When Ruth was in rare good
humor in the club house of the
stadium he helped to build, he
used to sing that little couplet,
and all the boys laughed. They
knew their cues.
No HumOr in Club House
There is no rare good humor in
that Yankee club house today as
the boys grid themselves for an
other clash with the Browns.

The onrushing Cardinals are
hell-bent for the pennant, and
right now it seems that nothing
can stop them. So it looks like

again. Maybe that July 4 leader.

Whitley Hayes found the opposi.

Browns, and his second start as
a Griff was stepped in disaster.
Hayes did not seem to have as
much stuff as he had in his debut,
but once again, he was facing AL

the others. Quality of opposition
does make a difference.

by Jack Russell.
The latter gave way to pinch
hitter, and Leon Petit pitched a
home run ball to Bonura inside
the park. There was some ques-
ton as to whether Zeke deserved
a homer. Bluege did not handle
Powell's throw as smartly as he
might have, and Bonura after pre-
pairing to stop at third picked up
his speed and scored.
The Griff attack reached peak
in the seventh when Manush
tripled and Bolton doubled to left.
But you're not likely to establish
much of peak when a team
makes only five hits.
