Not So Good

We won't rub salt in the
wounds of the Messrs. Newsom,
Rowe, Bridges, etc, by printing
their 1871 records. but Sullivan
Is now hitting .2s2; McCosky
1927; York, .25s, and Gehringer,
.222. Greenberg hit a homer,
two doubles and a single the
other day-for the team OF
Southern Michigan State Prison,
TO which club he had been
loaned for the afternoon by the
army.
Is all this Bakers fault? OF
course not. The course OF
events and general deterioration
and dry rot have caught up with
the Tigers. A composite rein
carnation Of all the great man
ayers Of baseball history prob
ably couldn't do anything about
the 1941 Tigers.
We think Baker deserves an
other year with Greenberg
working for him and with the
kind of requirements which
Briggs dough can buy. Any
way, we think it's crude and
heartless to blame the guy for
q failure not of his doing.

High winds reaching an estimated velocity of 80 miles per hour at Biorka Island near Sitka foundered the gas boat Duri early Tuesday morning causing her to drift to the rocky shore where high seas pounded her to pieces for total loss.
 The ten-ton fishing vessel, built two years ago, was registered at Ketchikan carrying license No. 239094.
 Olaf Sela, of Ketchikan, was owner and master and, according to the report filed today with Deputy Collector of U. S. Customs M. S. Whittier, he had sailed from Sitka February bound for Biorka Island, short distance away He reported that no cargo or passengers were aboard. Sela had no crew.
