Key TO Tigers
Big Showing
Son of Old Chisox Star,
Gained in Trade, Goes
His Dad One Better
BY DALE STAFFORD,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

DETROIT, Sept. 18.-For a man
who was supposed to know all about
the automobile business and prac-
tically nothing about baseball
Owner Walter o. Briggs of the De-
troit Tigers is doing better than
all right
If he felt the urge, Briggs might
of the year.
Principals in the transaction
were George Coffman. pitcher who
never developed to expectations in
Detroit, and Billy Sullivan, a base
ball jack of all trades, who wasn't
helping the ST. Louis Browns to any
great extent. No cash was involved
in the deal.
Sullivan Does Heroic Job.
Coffman. who won two and lost
one for Detroit in 1899, has scored
two victories against two defeats
this year. One of his wins was on
opening day against the Tigers Sui
livan. who caught and played in the
outfeld for ST. Louis last season,
currently is batting .3l1, % points
over his percentage of last season
and the same margin over his life
time batting average in the major
leagues.
In addition to sharing the CATCH
ing duties of the Tigers with George
Birdie )Tebbetts and pinch-hitting.
Sullivan did a heroic Job of filling
in at third base for the Tigers when
Pinky Higgins was out during the
last crucial series against Cleveland.
Detroit won all three games.
Sullivan's father, Billy, sr.. was
one of the games greatest catchers
with the famous Chicago White Sox
"Hitless Wonders"
The anomaly of a father who was
a fine catcher but who could not
hit and a son who can hit with the
best needs explanation.
Dad Taught Him to Bat.
"As far back as can remember,
I recall my dad putting bat in
my hand and pitching to me-" Billy
says. The first thing he did was to
make me bat left-handed. I do
everything else right-handed"
Apparently the elder Sullivan
gave no thought to defensive base
ball in giving lessons to Billy, think
ing only of his own weakness.
No fewer than six other Tigers
were acquired in trades and all of
the athletes picked up in this way
have played their heads of in De-
troit's bid for an American League
pennant.
An old baseball slogan is that no
team can trade its way to pennant,
but if the Tigers win they will come
mighty close to making a liar out
of somebody.

Against Tribe in Two Days.;

The Latin left-hander blanked the
Tigers for the rest of the route but
it was too late to save the cause of
the Mats.
Early Hits Homer.
Washington scored two runs of
Schoolboy Rowe in the second when
Jake Early drove the ball into the
upper rifihtfield pavilion after
Pofahl had singled. Another run
was made off Alton Benton in the
eighth when George Case doubled
and completed the circuit on two
infeld outs.
Benton relieved Rowe at the start
of the seventh. The Schoolboy
complained that his arm hurt, and
Baker decided to give him extra
rest in anticipation of the important
series with Cleveland here this week
end.
The game was the last of the year
between the Mats and Tigers. In %
engagements between them, Detroit
won Is and lost 6.
