Only Zale himself, and those
1906 roaring fans who saw In

picture Of that successful title
defense. For they saw Zale win
after the determined young
Washington Greek National
Guardsman had gone ahead Of
the champion on points. They
saw Zale stage q sensational
champion-like rally that cut Ma
makos down As though hit BY
machine-sun fire--a rally which
came when It appeared almost
certain that the title would
change hands.

The Yankees sudden and dra.

So, instead of the Tigers cap
turing the series, two games to
one, ii was the Yankees who tri-
umphed in the set.
The Newsom debacle came after
Pinky Higgins, in the eighth, had
exploded home run with Pat
Mullin on base, giving the Tigers
lead of TO 3, which at the time
looked pretty good with only two
innings TO go. 1t was Higgins Sec
ond homer of the season, the Tiger
third sacker having fashioned his
first in Boston only recently.
Newsom, who replaced Harold
Newhouser in the seventh. was in

Charley Ruffing pitched eight
innings before he was lifted for

Johnny Murphy. Murphy was of
ficially the winner. The home run
by Higgins, of course, came of
Ruffing.
