Tigers Must
Stop Yanks
penIlant RuSk

NEW YORK, June 9-(P)-
Perhaps the last hopes of the
American League to stop the
pennant rush of the New York
Yankees went out on the field
with the Detroit Tigers today in
Yankee Stadium.
The Tigers, ten and half
games down to t h e Yanks
although in the runnerup posi-,
ton, opened a three-game series
in which the profits could not
possibly amount to much aside
from keeping the faint ray OF
life in the idea that the Bronx
Bombers might be stopped.
Manager Del Baker figured on
starting Dizzy Trout, with the
bespectacled highlander likely
to be faced by Hank Barowy.
Each has won three games, but
Barowy in a much more impos-
ing manner. He has not been
beaten
The situation was a sad COM
mentary on the state of the
American League race. Here
were the League Leaders and
the runnersup getting together
for battle and exciting hardly
more than a casual interest.
Even if they lose the whole ser
les, the Yanks would still be
practically out of sight of the
rest of the league.
Baker and vice president Rog-
er Peckinpaugh of the Cleveland
Indians were box seat compan-
ions as the Yanks defeated
Cleveland yesterday to tack an
other game on their lead while
the Tigers were idle.

NEW YORK, June 9-(P)-
The American League has been
having a two-man race for bat
ting honors almost since the
opening Of the season and now
the National league is getting
some of the same.
Pete Reiser, last years bat
ting champion in the senior cir
cult, has been Sprinting during

lusty 1865 average, close on the
heels of Gordon (Babc) Phelps,
Pittsburgh catcher.
Phelps has been out of action

made his first appearances IN
the Pirate lineup i'm more than a
week on Sunday. He was called
on to pinch hit twice and made
one hit to initiate his average to
.375.
On the same day Reiser made
six hits.

|Gasow Climbs
10 Tie for 3rd

Gasow Boat climbed into a
tie position for third place in
the Junior Softball League last
night as they turned on the heat
in two innings for 73 victory
over the Merchants on the Con-
sumers Power diamond.
Fielder Romano Preston led
off in the first inning with a
homer off Don Kolp for Gasow
and his teammates followed up
with two other hits for a total
of four runs. They coasted in
from there, adding a trio of runs
in the fourth.
OUT OF ORDER
Meanwhile the losers counted
once in the first - only to have
the run blotted out because q
man batted out of order. They
took a legal tally in the second
and added two more in the sixth,
aided by Tommy Breitmeyer's
triple.
The Merchants were able to
get only five hits off Roy Har-
ris, the winning hurler; Harris,
incidentally, had a hot night
getting three hits in three trips
to lead his team at the plate.
The loss dropped the Merch-
ants into the league cellar.
