BY LEO MACDONELL

The Tigers are stubborn just

With sixth place yawning .or
them. they rebelled and defeated
the Washington Senators, 5 10 d,
in a dramatic, ninth inning upris-
inc at Briggs Stadium yesterday.
Thus the Tigers today were
clinging 10 fifth spot, with the
Senators and Athletics tied for
sixth in the league standings.
And instead of being two and
one-nalf games out Of last place,
they are three and one-half games
away from that doubtful honor.

And as a result, the Tigers
snapped Washington winning
streak that had reached six
games. an Alex CarraSquel win

six games in as many starts and
ended a Detroit scoring famine
which had been extended TO %

Schoolboy Rowe, who had re-
placel Paul Trout in the sixth and
was the winning pitcher, forced
Tebbetts by grounding to Cecil
Travis, the Washington shortstop
Then, Campbell hit for Tuck
Stainback and slashed a single
TO center, scoring Sullivan. Rowe
moved TO third on the blow and
later scored after George Case

long fv ball Then Rip Radcliff

STAGE WAS SET
Thus there were two Tiger
runs in and with Campbell and
Radclin on the sacks, Barney Nc
CoSky came 10 bat.

Big Alex shrugged his massive

The homer was McCoSky's sec

Rv THORNTON W. RJIRGESS


1t is doubtful which was the most
surprised, Black Pussy or Bowser
the Hound. Bowser stopped short
and gazed up at Black Pussy as if he
doubted his eyes, Meow" said
Black Pussy again and Bowser knew
by the very tones that Black Pussy
was terribly frightened.
Bow wow" he replied. "What
are you scared of? If you don't
like being up there why don't you
come down." Bowser had not yet
discovered Prickly Porky.
Just then Prickly Porky awak-
ened to the fact that there was a
newcomer down below. Prickly
Porky's eyes are rather dull. Be-
sides, there were branches between
him and the ground. He couldn't
see BowSer very well, but he could
hear him and he recognized the
voice. Just by way of warning he
ratified the thousand little spears
In his coat and then suddenly made
up his mind to go down on the
snow and drive this impudent fel-
low away
The rafting of the thousand lit
tie spears had remarkable result.
Black Pussy, thinking that this time
certainly Prickly Porky was coming
after her, gave a frightened yell
and leaped as best she could. You
see with Bowser the Hound below
she felt that there was nothing to
fear there.
AS for Bowser, the sound of those
little spears rattling together sent
his tail between his legs and he
himself hurrying to what he felt was
a safe distance. If Black Pussy
had been thinking less of herself
she certainly would have been sur
prised at the way Bowser acted
You see Bowser recognized the
sound and he had not forgotten
how once his lips had been filled
with those little spears, nor the
pain which followed when Farmer
Browns Boy pulled them out.
Bowser had very wholesome re-
spect for Prickly Porky.
No sooner were Black Pussy's feet
on the snow than she started for
home as only scared cat can go.
Bowser looked after her for mo-
ment, then decided that this was no
place for him, and putting his nose
down to the snow, started on. sniff
ing as he went. In minute or so
he caught the scent of Old Man
Coyote and with a roar of his great
voice he was off on Old Man Coy
ote's trail.
Mrs. Brown had stepped to her
back door for moment. AS she
stood there she caught a glimpse
of black form racing through the
Old Orchard toward her. She recog-
nized Black Pussy and she knew
by the way Black Pussy was running
that she was in great fright. Mrs.
Brown held the door open. Out of
the Old Orchard. across the door,
yard, raced Black Pussy, her tail
three times as big as it usually is.
Through the kitchen, upstairs, and
under a bed she raced and nothing
that Mrs. Bown could do would coax
her out. So Black Pussy returned
home.

Noun. A student in the second
year of q tour-year course.
Before this article was written,
20 persons were asked to say this
word. All mispronounced it Soft
more" This is word of three syla-
bles. No dictionary shows it other
wise.
Today's word has curious origin.
1t is from the Greek sophos. wise,
and moros, fool! Research fails to
reveal the why's and wherefores of
this paradox. Can it be that the
crusty old Hellenic pedagogue who
gave us this word (the Greeks, bless
'em, seem to have word for every
thing, don't theyO created it as an
expression of low esteem for second
year claSSmen wise fools?
Sophomores, however, may take
heart, for the wise fool meaning
has been lost somewhere in times
past. No breath of odium whatever
attaches to the name today, espe-
cially at ones alma mater (AL-
muh MAY-ter).
The first trace of the word in
English is in a book, THE Armoury,"
published in 1868 by Holme, in which
he spoke of second-year students as
"Sophy Moores."
Be sure to pronounce the 20" in
the second syllable.
Correct pronunciation: SOF-oh-
more.
From Detroit: Will you please give
the masculine, feminine, singular,
and plural forms of alumnus?-D c.
Answer: Masculine singular:
alumnus, pronounced uh-LUM-nuss.
Masculine plural: alumni, pro-
nounced uh-LUM-nye. Feminine

Financing
Winter Record
May BeBroken
Raymond Foley Says
1o41 Will See High
in House Building

All records for Winter activity
in home financing are being broken
this year, according to the volume
of mortgage insurance being re-
quested of the Detroit insuring
office of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration.
Raymond NJ. Foley. state direc-
tor, said Saturday that applica-
tions for insurance of more than
1000 mortgages have been re-
ceived in the last two weeks. OF
these about 800 were for proposed
new houses, nearly all in moderate
price brackets.
'Tt appears evident that the
building industry of Michigan Is
making preparations for .
record-breaking production Of
houses during 1941," Foley said.
"NOt only is this true in the
Detroit area, but I'm most of the
Industrial cities of Michigan.
Particular attention Is being
devoted to houses which will sell
from $500 to $500 with the
lot. In this range there appears
TO be a large demand from fami-
lies able to finance the pur-
chase"
Foley said that in nearly al
active centers problems of avail
able sites for needed housing have
been worked out to a degree
which will make possible a yeal
of intensive building activity.
