301st Loop Victory

oBOSTON, Aug. 2-R-The
Detroit Tigers and Boston Red
Sox were ready today to stage a
repeat performance of q recent
show which commanded the in
terest of all the baseball world
but this one didn't mean 50
much.
Old Lefty Grove, seeking his
301 st victory in the Major
Leagues, was ticketed to pitch
for Boston against Buck New
som of the Tigers in the two
game series opener.
On Boston's last visit to De-
troit, Lefty ran up against Buck
on one of the latter's good days
and, at that time seeking No.
800, suffered defeat in a fine
duel, 2 to O. Eventually, Grove
reached his objective against
other opposition.
Grove has won seven and lost
four games this season compared
to Newsom's record of eight VIC
tories and Ia defeats.
