He didn't get a fielding chance
in the first two innings. In the
last OF the second he led off and
singled 10 right field. This gave
the fans something to- cheer about
The next inning he made a grand
one-hand pick up of Wright S
grounder and followed it up with a
perfect throw. There was no
nervousness here. Just a work.
manlike performance.
His second trip he again singled,
this time a sharp drive into center
field. His single in the seventh
scored Don Ross with the final
run of the game. This was an
other well hit-ball into center
field.
In the eighth he was pivot man

but Johnny got it and rifled the
ball to York to finish the dual

Lipon Makes the Grade
AS Tigers Win Twin Bill
Detroit Boy
CIinehes Regular
Shortstop Berth
By LEO sttcDoNEtf4

The Tigers should play all
double-hoaders--and have Johnny
Lipon in the lineup in at least one
of each of the twin bills.
Their sweep of Sundays double
header from the White SoX, TO 2
and Z to 3, was the Tigers second
consecutive two-ply killing in the
over-stuffed one-day scheduling.
They licked the Red Sox a pair on
Boston'S recent visit TO Detroit
and then over in Cleveland tied
and won one on one day.
The 19-year-old Lipon, a Detroit
boy just recalled from Beaumont,
who made his big league debut in
the second game, was the days
biggest feature.
With a blazing start. the kid
collected three singles in four trips
TO the plate, made hair raising
scoops at shortstop and electrified
the crowd with bullet throws TO
first base. The kid was the darling
of the multitude, which gave him
frequent and long applause.
