PITCHING TODAY
PROVES GAMBLE

Detroit. Sept. 19-AP-For the
last month Delniar David Baker,
manager OF the Detroit Tigers, has
contended that the American
League championship would be de-
termined in the six late September
games between his club. and the
Cleveland indiana.
Consequently, the Tigers are
gambling today In a double head
er with the pesky Philadelphia Ath-
letics that will serve as pre-
Jude 10 the crucial series with the
Indians Friday. Saturday and Sun
day.
The gamble Is in pitching be-
cause Baker wants TO have his
three mound aces-Louis (Buck)
Newsom. Lynwood Rowe and Tom
my Bridges-ready to go against
the Tribe as they were ready ear
Her in the month when the Ben
gals swept a three game series.
Paul Trout, the disappointment
OF the Tiger pitching stan this
year, and Harold Newhouser,
young southpaw who hasn't won a
game in more than a month, will
fling for the Tigers and Baker
will be hoping they have enough
stuff TO get by. Lovill Chubby

final appearance OF the season in
Detroit
The following week end Baker
plans TO have his star trio ready
for work against Cleveland in the
closing series Of the season.
The AS. annoying all year to the
Bengals, reached season high for
being troublesome Wednesday
when they scored nine runs in the
final inning of the second game
of a doubleheader with the Bengals
to come from behind and win 10 to
s.
Detroit won the first contest "A
to as Tommy Bridges and Tom
Seats stifled the opposition with
six scattered hits.
Seats, who hurled the last three
innings IN order to permit Bridges
TO rest for the Cleveland series,
lost his stun between the first and
second encounters and was one Of
the victims of the great Philadel-
phia rally.
About the only consolation the
Tigers gained from the split and
resulting dipsy-doodle into second
place a half-same behind the In
dams was the fact that Hank
Greenberg hit three home runs
two in the first contest and one In
the second.
Greenberg nov has hit 3S hon.
ers and leads the American League
in this division as we'll as in runs
batted in and doubles.
A homer by Big Hank decided
the first game in the opening in
ming, the blow coming with the
bases full. The Tigers got FIVE
runs before the frame ended and
single runs scored in the third
and fourth innings and seven more
tailed in the fifth weren't needed.
George Caster went the full route
for the AS and allowed II hits in
losing his 18th game.
The second tilt see-sawed for
four innings. Then the Tigers
scored twice with the aid OF
Greenberg homer 10 make the
count and 4 in their favor.
Johnny Corsica. who was shaky
at the start but effective in the
fifth. sixth. seventh and eighth in
nings, blew up without warning.
Seats, who came in with the score
tied and two men on. had nothing
and Clay Smith finally came in
to strike out Harold Wagner and
end the ten hit. nine run rally.
