Tigers staged three-run rally in the
ninth inning against Wes Ferrell and

win. 1t hurt Mr.. Ferrell's pride, of
course, but that pride and an innocent

The glove used to be Ferrell'S. He

The Tigers took 10 lead in the
second inning, thanks to an error by
Myer. With two out Buddy booted a
grounder by Jo-Jo White, allowing
Bill Rogeu to score the unearned run
from second base.

scout for the Mats, sent Joe to Wash

a great bargain for Griff1th but some
thing on the lemon side for Tom Yaw-
key, who sunk $250,000 and a good
ball player in .Cronin in the Winter
OF 1894.
Charley Gehringer, one of the all
time greats, cost the Tigers exactly
nothing. They picked him up from a
Fowlerville, Mich, semi-pro team.
Walter Johnson cost nothing, save
scrap of meat-wrapping paper on
which his contract was signed. Iris

was Grover Cleveland Alexander's.
Bucky Harris did not cost Griffith
more than $500 and he developed into

The Detroit club paid only
$3.50 for Ty Cobb, and Honus
Wagner came up for $500. Stars
such as Sam Rice and Ossie

But the result was the same as 1t

Now Harris is going back to looking
