Homers by Dick
And Richards
Down Red Sox

BOSTON, Sept. 2s-The Tigers
make their final appearance OF
the season in Boston today when
they close four-game series with
the Red Sox.
The best the DetroiterS can do
Is split the engagement, and they
are calling on Hal Newhouser to
get them an even division OF the
spoils. George (Pinkey) Woods. a
rookie only a year out of Holy
Cross, will be on the hill for the
home towners.
The Tigers, as they played In
two games here on Sunday. looked
as though they wouldn't win
another game this season. But
they snapped out Of their lethargy
yesterday 10 win. 6-3, and thus
still retain a slim chance OF fln-
ishing in the first division.
MAKE IA HITS
In making ID hits. including
homers by Dick Wakefield and
Paul Richards, of Heber (Dick)
Newsome. the Tigers collected as
many hits in this game as they
made in the Sabbath twin bill.
Most startling reversal Of form
was that displayed by Wakefield.
He was made TO look like a
chump on Sunday. He famed
three times and got only one hit
in eight tries. And that was a
gift
But the youngster came back
against NewSome 10 get two
sizzling singles in addition TO his
four-master, a 400-yard drive
which came with Doc Cramer on
in the first frame. and provided q
lead which Virgil Trucks pro-
tected for his 14th victory OF the
season.
HAS FANS WONDERING

customers.

"The $4,000 bust. My hero
.. when are you going to get
a hit: Flop OF the year"
Those were a few OF the tanner
remarks which greeted, him
whenever he stepped TO the plate.
Outwardly, he gave no sign that
he heard the remarks. But he did
appear to be pressing at the
plate. And he was helpless with
the stick.
Yesterday, the cash customers
numbered only ia, smallest crowd
here since Tom Yawkey took over
the Sox in 1893.
Nobody bothered 10 yell al
Wakefield or anybody else. Maybe
il was just coincidence. Maybe
il was the answer.
Anyway, the Tigers brilliant

CAST IN Film,
10Th CENTURY

In line with its policy of showing
the finest of the new crop of film
entertainment, the goth Century
Theatre will show in This Our
Life" Warner Bros perturbation OF
the successful novel by Ellen Glas-
gov. Bette Davis is starred in the
film which opens tonight. AS one
of the most important pictures on
the 1912 schedule, Warner Bros.
have produced I'm This Our Life
on grand scale, sparing no efforts
in making the brilliant, absorbing
novel come to life on the screen.
From the brilliant starring roles
played by Miss Davis, Olivia de
Havilland, George Brent and Dem
mis- Morgan down to the smallest
character bit" the film has been
cast with minute care.
The story is concerned with the
vicious behavior of Stanley Timber

havoc she wrought in other peoples
lives; especially that of her sister,
Rov, portrayed by Olivia de Havill-
and.

big STREET"
OPENS TONIGHT,
CAPITOL SHOW

Peopled with the eccentric Broad
way types whom he has made ia
nous in fiction, Damon Runyon's
RKO production, The Big Street,
deals in sparkling fashion with the
quixotic romance between an i'm
perious night club queen and de-
voted bus boy. The picture stars
tonight at the Capitol Theatre.
Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball
have the stellar roles in the offer
ing, which has its setting along the
"Runyonville" section of Manhattan
and in Miami. Fonda portrays a
bus boy, known as Little Pinks, and
Miss Ball has the role of the beau
tiful but avaricious Gloria Lyons,
whom Pinks has long worshipped
from afar.
Gloria is the girl friend of Case
Ables, a racketeer and gambler, and
ignores Pinks abject devotion After
a quarrel, Ables knocks Gloria down
flight of stairs and cripples her
so that she can never walk again.
Her other friends desert her, but
Pinks rallies nobly to her support,
impoverishes himself and begs from
his pals to pay her hospital bills,
finally moves her to his rickety
lodgings to reduce expenses. IN
aware that Pinks is doing all this,
Gloria continues to treat him ar
rogantly, and insists that he take
her to Florida for the winter.
There is most dramatic and
thrilling climax.

The undertaken then testified he hadn't
seen the creases in the colonels neck at the
time Of embalming but it had taken some
stuffing to get the body into the morgue's
ice box and perhaps that accounted for the
neck-pleats on this point the whole litiga-
ton begged down, and the insurance people,
weary of the headache, settled on combined
payment to the Dwight estate Of $4,000.
It might have ended there if Binghamton

exclaimed ON my opinion that is not the

This opened up a whole new avenue Of
speculation. II it wasn't Dwight's body. whose
was it? Some unknown cadaver from the
morgue? Some gallows-bird from distant

And where in creation was the colonel? Had
he DOTTED his beloved beard on that last night
because no substitute with the equal could be
found Had he whskeress and therefore
unreCognizable gone out of the window of

another hole for himself, had whisked out Of
Broome County, leaving a body TO pinch-hit
