Although the Reds bull pen had
gone into everish action in the
very first inning, McKechnie for
best reasons best known to himself
allowed Thompson to remain on
the mound until he let the Tigers
get started on a four-run furry in
the fourth.
McKechnie subsequently used
Whitley Moore for the third time in
the series, Johnny Wander Nicer
and John Hutchings in an effort to
subdue the Tigers, but since the
Reds themselves were pitifully
helpless the efforts of this trio had
no effect on the outcome, eithe rim
their success or their allure.
Actually, however, the Tigers
scored in only three innings al
though they had runners on base
in every frame and in scoring posi-
ton, that is beyond first, in all
but one.
Ten Passes
Besides their 10 hits, of which
reenberg accounted for a home
run and two singles, the Tigers re-
ceived no less than 10 bases on
balls.
In the first inning Dick Bartell
opened with a single and Charley
ehringer and Greenberg also hit
safely, but Bartell was thrown out
at the plate trying to score from
second on Gehringer's blow.
In the second Pinky Higgins
walked and Billy Sullivan singled
with one out and even though the
Cincinnati outfielders pulled
Thompson out of his jam by drag
ging down two t~antalizing flies,
everybody knew by instinct that
the young Highlander couldn't es-
cape forever.
The third inning did it, with three
runs and none out. Afterward Rudy
York, who didn't get a hit all day,
lifted a high fly, Bruce Campbell
walked but was thrown out by
catcher Jimmy Wilson while try
ing to steal second, and Higgins

The Tiger juggernaut was ire
sistible, though, and in the fourth
Billy Sullivan walked, was sacri-
feed to second by Newsom, who
hunted with two strikes against
him, and came home on a double
by Barteu down the left field foul
line.
