The games were thrillers,

by Alb 'echt and Brice, were

star Of the game. showed the
crowd that he was somewhat
of a pitcher as well. as he set
down the Barmen with Ave
scattered singles in q nifty ex-
hibition Of control.
The game went like this:
Both teams went scoreless in
the first. In the second Duane
Van Hollenbeck opened for
Koleky with q single. An error
by the Johnnie's second base
man and q wild pitch by Yer
nier advanced Van Hollenbeck
to third. Willie May, next man

Of the ball game.
In Johnni's half of the inn
ing the first two men up were
retired. "Dotty" Macdonald
was walked. Macdonald stole
second and advanced to third
on an error by the second base
man. Lloyd Hockin finally
singled him home with the ty-
ing run.
BRICE HITS LONG HOMER
The two pitchers then bore
down until the fateful sixth,

ride. Then came Albrecht's
homer. a solid drive into right
field which took one bounce and
then cleared the right field

third man to face Vernier, was
given base on balls, and Brice
duplicated Albrecht's feat by
flashing out q terrific homer into

That was the end of the ball

Tigers Open
Crucial Series
Will Try to Goin
Iced Of Second
Division over AZ

oPHILADELPHIA, July as
@- Detroit's groggy Tigers,
beaten seven times running.
came here today to open Z "cru-
cial series" with the Philadel-
phia Athletics. The Leadership
Of the second division In the
American league was ut stake.
Trying to take the Tigers out
of reverse gear, Manager Del
Baker figured on starting his
relief ace, AL Benton, against
the Macks. That, although .
possibility last Spring, was In
itself . drastic move-but in
keeping with the seasons show
ing.
For going to extremes, few
teams can equal Detroits de-
tending champions. Yesterday
they let Washington score four
runs in the last Of the ninth
with two out and dropped the
game, 8 to S, and the full SER
les.
The Tigers achieved their
seventh straight loss and fell
into sixth place, . game below
Philadelphia, when Hal New
houser walked three mel, two
others hit singles. and Tuck
Stainback. ordinarily q high
class fielder, Clipped In with =
costly error.
Thus the Senators, trailing 5
to 2 ~ they took their last raps,
won 4 game on six nits while
Detroit was getting nine off
Bill Zuber and Ken Chase.
Four runs in the fifth and
another in the seventh by De-
troit had given Newhouser what
seemed to be an insurmountable
lead. He was wild, but had shut
out Washington since the first
inning.
The first two Senator batters
in the ninth, Jimmy Bloodworth
and Jake Early, walked. Pinch
hitter Buddy Myer struck out
md George Cas- flied out, and
Newhouser appeared safely In.
Bloodworth, who had taken
third on Cases ny, scored Of,
Rog CrAmer's single, and Buddy
Lewis drew Newhouser's ninth
pass to fill the bases.
A single by Cecil Travis
scored Early and Cramer and.
when Stainback failed to COR
raj the ball, Lewis came In with
the winning run.
