Eden Auker, another Tiger alum
nus, relieved Niggeling, but the De-
troiters gave him no peace. Radcliffe
was safe on an error and McCosky
scratched a single to second that
scored Perry with the tying run.
Campbell then contributed his
homer which put Detroit three runs
In the lead. Auker was retired after
York and Higgins had singled, but
Fritz Ostermueller advanced both
runners with a passed ball. Sullivan
flied out, but Meyer singled for his
second hit of the inning and scored
both York and Higgins before Cor
sica ended the inning by grounding
out.
A four-run uprising came in the
eighth while Jack Kramer was on
the mound. Higgins, Sullivan and
Perry singled. Meyer tripled and
Corsica doubled. Another run would
have been marked up. but Meyer
was nailed when he attempted to
stretch his triple into a home run.

Tigers Blast Way Through Both
Ends of Labor Day Bargain Bill

Detroit, Sept. 2-AP-After blast.
ing their way through both ends of
a Labor Day bargain bill, the De.
troit Tigers today stood only two
and a half games behind the fourth
Slace Cleveland Indians, who arrive
Mere Thursday for four-game cam
paign.
The forthcoming finale between
the two teams brought to mind last
seasons crucial Detroit-Cleveland
series on Briggs Stadium soil, but
at that time the prize was first place
in the American League. Shortly af-
ter that series the Tigers invaded
Nleveland's Municipal Stadium and
captured the pennant.
In another respect the final meet
ing OF the two clubs has parallel.
Last season the Tribe entered De.
trott TO find the Tigers In an ex-
plosive mood and loaded with bat
ting power. This week-if yester-
days doubleheader was any indica-
Nion-the situation Is the same.
The Bengals let go with all their
fire power against the hapless ST.
Louis Browns and netted 9-5 and
1873 victories with an attack that
included 35 hits good for 60 bases.
Big Rudy York paced the 15-hit
attack In the opener with three
xyrome runs off as many hurlers and
Wrought his season total to rs. Alto
gether he raped in five runs. Third
Baseman Frank (Pinky) Higgins
also homered. as did George Nc
Quinn OF the Browns.
York, who has hit five homers
in five days, got his 23rd circuit
blow off pitcher Bob Harris, an ex-
Tiger. in the third inning, and 1t
Xbut Detroit in the lead to stay. No.
"a came in the sixth off George
Caster, and No. 20 was scored off
Archie McKain, another ex-Tiger,
in the eighth.
AL Benton was credited with his
10th victory, but Louis (Buck) New
som had to come to his rescue. Har-
ris was charged with the loss.
y Although York could add only a
single TO his record in the nightcap
the echoes OF his earlier homers
were caught by the bats of Bruce
Campbell, Barney McCosky. and L.
D. (Dutch) Meyer. Campbell. his
14th four-bagger, McCosky his third,
and Meyer collected a single, dou.
.ble and triple.
y Even relief pitcher Johnny Cor
sica. who was credited with the vic
tory, became formidable batsman
with three singles and a double in
five trips TO the plate.
Knuckle-baller Johnny Niggeling
started for the Browns and hurled
shutout ball for four innings. Then
corsica opened the fifth with a sin
psyle, Frank Croucher grounded out,
Rip Radcliffe beat out an infieid hit
and McCosky sent the ball into the
lower deck of the right field pa
wilton.
In the sixth Niggeiing managed
to retire one batter before Detroit
cut loose with a nine-run drive.
Billy Sullivan walked and took third
Ion Meyers double. Gorsica's third
straight single scored both runners
and Boyd Perry doubled to score

Homes Remain Danger
 "Spots" Of America
Under and Between 45 and GA Dangerous Age as
 Shown By Number of Persons Killed or Injured

How practically every home in the United States can assist in further- ing the country's defense program is explained in the current issue Of the American Journal of Public Health, by pr. Arnold 3. Arm. strong, third vice.president, and w. Graham Cole, safety director, of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company. Pointing out that more than 30,000 deaths and many thous- ands of injuries result annually from accidents in the home, the authors say that c large proportion of these casualties, which unfavors ably affect the national economy, could be prevented # Americans would guard against carelessneRs and thus heed the advice of various agencies interested in reducing home accidents. For, the authors point out, education alone can solve the home accident problem, because in c democracy, unlike c totalitarian state, the privacy of tho home Is still respected"

According to the nae tlonal Safety Council, 0i per cent of deaths and injuries to indus trially employed persons occur while not ct work, and in large propor- ton while ct home"
 Tn urging that nationwide efforts be made to reduce needless home accidents, the authors cite the ex- perience of the insurance company which shows that more persons de from injuries Of oil types than from tuberculosis, pneumonia or diabetes, and that in io40, among ell fatal injuries, those occurring in the home were exceeded only by those result- Ing from automobile accidents.
 Dangerous Ages
 A study made by the nurses ot the Metropolitan among It's insured of more than 1000 eccident cases Q month, or l2,ob4 for 2 year, showed tho most dangerous ages for home accidents were those under four and bewteen 4B and 64. The study showed that poison accounted fol only one per cent of the home irl- juries, and that inhaling gas ant asphyxiation, and firearms were negligible causes, More accident, (30 per cent) occurred in the din. ing room and kitchen than in any other part of the home, with only two per cent occurring in tho much maligned bathroom.

wHOOPs! MY ERROR!

Of oil the mistakes which are made In radio, the ones which make the greatest clinks are those which have to do with sound effects. May- Dc it's because the sound effect iS radios only valid claim to realism Announcers may fluff; musicians may drop a sour one-And an under standing public knows that another human has erred-hut let the sound effects department pull Q boner and the art of radio is laughed ct from coast to coast. i
 WORs sound effects department says that most of the clinkers which sound like sound effects boners are made by the actors themselves. For example, they cite the common case of an actor walking through c door"-or talking over c telephone before 1t rings-getting out of e car before it stops-"getting on mike before we can walk them in." WOR's sound effects boys will forever rec member the time an actor gave his dying gasp before they had a chance to fire the pistol which killed him. That's not to say that sound mistakes. The one most typical and at the same time the one which set up the greatest howl-happened a couple of years ago on a daytime serial. It still rankles. The Script was about two legionnaires alone on a desert. They were expecting an attack by Arabs, and over the sand dunes far away was to come the sound of firing. The actor gave his cue; the sound effects man didn't catch it. Frantically, the director signaled again. By this time, com pletely panic-stricken and lost, the sound effects man gazed wild-eyed at his equipment, seized the nearest piece to him. and pushed 1t loud and long. Out over the desert came the clarion call of the telephone bell.
