OF Man BridQes
Gives Tigers
Is Victory
BY LEO MACDONELL

After a pitcher has turned in
10 or more years Of brilliant
chucking. critics begin TO wonder
just how long such a veteran will
last.
Tommy Bridges. now in his
twelfth year as a Tiger. is no ex-
ception. He came under the head
ing of pitchers whom experts =
worry-about.
But the iron-hearted mite still
has it-even though he may not
be the Bridges who captured %
games in 1886. Today Tennessee
Tom had posted his third victory
in four starts in a season still
young.
SECOND WIN OVER YANKS
With a splendid six-hit per-
Torrance, Bridges yesterday at
Briggs Stadium pitched the Tigers
TO victory over the Yankees, 7-3,
their second triumph in two games
of three-game series with the
New York club.
The victory put Detroit in a
tie for third place as the Athletics
defeated the White Sox.
Thus the Tigers and Yankees
were to engage each other here
today in the third and last game
of the set with Johnny Corsica
pitching for the Tigers and Ernie
Bonham for the Yankees.
Hank Greenberg today was to
play in his last gam, with the
Tigers before being indicted into
the army. He goes to Camp
Custer tomorrow.
FIVE RUNS IN THIRD
A five-run assault on Lefty
Gomez in the third inning clinched
the game for the Tigers. Gomez
was replaced by Charles Stancu,
who later gave way to Norman
Branch, Stancu and Branch are
recruits up from the minors.
The game was marked by an
argument in the sixth inning when
Manager Joe Mccarthy charged
that Bridges was throwing a spit
ball, illegal in major league base
ball circles. The protest did MOTH
| ing but cause delay and irritate
cash customers.

BIieh's 36OO-MiIe Escape
Was Feat Of Seomonship

WHEN mutineers of the Bounty
" set Captain William Bligh and
18 loyal men adrift in an open
boat with only scant supplies of
food and water, they never ex-
pected him to reach land. But he
did-sailing 1918 miles to Timor,
in the Netherlands East Indies, in
one of the most remarkable feats
of seamanship ever recorded.
The captain and his ship are
pictured on the Pitcairn Island
stamp above, one of the new series
beginning Pitcairn's stamp issues.
There are two opinions of Bligh.
One portrays him as harsh disci-
plinarian, who ruled with a cat
o'-nine tails. The other makes
Bligh no worse than most officers
of the 18th century navy, who kept
order with the only means he
knew. England upheld his action,
and he saw three of the leaders of
the mutiny hanged.
Captain Bligh continued his
career in the British Navy, fulfilled
his orders to transplant breadfruit
from Tahiti to the West Indies
the original purpose of the Boun-
tvs voyage. He became governor
of New South Wales and died in
1917, a vice-admiral.
