Hughson's Hitting
Makes Him Proud
Tigers Soddened; His
Blows, Hurting Win

BOSTON, July 11-(P)-Big
League hurlcrs for some strange
reason take more pride in their
batting averages than in battling
opposing hitters and Cecil
Tex" Hughson, leading Boston
Red Sox pitcher, is no excep-
tion-in fact, he'll bet anyone on
his proves at bat.
The handsome, rangy Texan,
member of the American
Leagues all-star hurting contin-
gent at Cleveland earlier this
week and possessor of nine vic
tories and three defeats. this
year, normally is just as helpless
as the majority of pitchers at
bat.
But against Detroit yesterday,
Tex collected three hits, two
singles and a double. His Sec
ond inning single drove in run
and his lusty double accounted
for two more-half the Boston
total in its 6-1 victory over the
Detroit Tigers.

Spruce Inn Pitcher
Follows Up ko-Hitter
with One-Hit Clash

Not content with having snar-
ed the spotlight of this week S
softball play with a no-hit game,
black-haired Denny We rnier
nearly repeated his gold-plated
performance last night for what
would have been his third no.
hit game of the season.
Facing the Business Men, Don
ny allowed but one hit-a single
in the secondhand had but one
run credited against him. That
came after he'd given up a walk
in the seventh; it was not earn
cd, however; an error allowed
the man, Pat Parker to cross the
plate.
Vernier gave up four walks
while striking out seven batters.
EXTRA BASE HITS
Meanwhile, his teammates
counted heavily for 1910 VIC
tory, rapping out four doubles
and a homer among their IL
hits off Calvin Pancuff, only
other author this season of a

which have done so much to dis
courage interest in softball in
Mount Clemens.
TWO BIG INNINGS
Hubarth e. Schott, leader of
the Twilight Leagues Red cir
cult played on even terms with
their opponents in five frames,
but in two they attacked them
numerically. In the second
frame, the team batted around
to score eight runs, spanked by
Jim Beardslee's two-run homer,
Jim McIntyre's two-run double
and a triple by Ralph Siewert.
Four of the H & S scorers reach
ed first on infeld errors by the
Hillcrest ten.
Near the end of the frame,
Dick Petitpren was removed
from the mound in favor of
Tony Cataldo, but Tony, after
dong well for three innings toss

sixth. There, Siewerts two-run
double, Alden Banks triple and
Marv Duckert's two-run single
helped things along, though four
walks proved of aid.
ONE GOOD FRAME
The losers had one good frame
in the fourth. when they count
ed four runs, two of them driven
in by Joe Lozen's single. In the
sixth, Buck Petitpren raped
out a two-run homer for their
last tallies. Petitpren led his
team at the plate, along with
second-sacker George Dalusky,
both getting two for two. Tex

games to be guaranteed of a play
off win. Though only the last
place Fraser team, victor in one

out, losses by several of the low

until a week ago, when the nine
dropped two games over the 4th,
has an excellent chance of gain
ing the playoffs though the team
is currently a notch behind War
rem. Richmond, which boasts a
500 mark, is regarded as Writ
ually sure playoff team.
