80 Tigers Stranded as They Lose Last 3 to Mats
Double Defeat
In Windup Costs
Them the Series
BY LEO MACDoNELL

WASHINGTON. June THE
Tigers today know what it is like
TO be caught in London bombing
raids.
They know how a mutilated
boxer feels in the ring Just be-
fore the kayo.
They know what super hang
over is like.
They got en- all rolled into one
big pill over the weekend at
Griffith Stadium.
Atop Saturdays defeat. the
Tigers yesterday dropped both
ends of a double-header, 5 TO /,
and s to 4. thereby losing the
series, three games to two. and
muffing a swell chance TO go home
in second place in the scrambled
American League race.
BETTER UNDER LIGHTS
It was a shocking blow TO the
Tigers after they had started the
series so auspiciously with twin
night game victories right off the
bat. Maybe the Tigers should vote
for all night games with the
Senators here.
A crowd OF 10000 soothing
Washington fans heckled the
downtrodden Tigers as they drank
of their bitter Sabbath day medi-
cine.
Only Tiger bright spot in the
entire Nightmares was home run
by Rudy York in the second game,
the big first baseman's fourth of
the season. 1t was driven off Jim
Mertz. recruit pitcher, off whom
the Tiger slugger got No. 3 in
one of the earlier games Of the
series.
Not a Tiger starting pitcher
finished in the series and 33 De
troit runners were left stranded
on the bases in the last three
games. which gives you some idea
of the reason for the defeats.
Then there were costly errors and
a general all-around lack Of what
is known in the trade as class.

NEW YORK LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY


The accompanying oSth Annual
Statement Of Condition reflects the
consistent policy of the Company
to support the government in its
war effort, as it has done in past
wars, and to give the greatest pos
sible protection to its policyholders.
The following are some peril
nent facts relating 10 the Com
pany's business and its Statement
for the year 1912:
/. The assets Of the Company
were increased during the year by
$154,0OO,OOO to a total figure of
S3,142,O0O,O0
2. Of this amount over
ST, 266, 100000, or approximately
40 per cent of the total assets, are
United States Government obliga-
tons, the Company having in
creased its net holdings Of these
obligations by about 100000
during the year.
3. About ,270ofthe Company's
employees and agents are in mill.
tary service.
4. At the end Of 1912 there were
over 3,080,000 policies in force
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-02-17

representing a total Of approx
mately $3.50, 100000 of life in,
suranee, a net increase Of over
S117,000,000 during the year. New
insurance in 1912 amounted TO
03,000,000. Although this is o15
per cent less than the amount Of
new insurance paid for in l94l, our
active agency force in 1912 was
reduced by about 20 per cent, pri-
marty through war service. Lapses
and surrenders were the lowest in
over twenty years.
s. After making appropriate
additions to policy reserves and
after writing down the book values
of real estate and mortgage loan
assets to conservative current valu-
atoms, the Company has added
$l3,8l3,000 to its Surplus Funds
for general contingencies. These
funds now exceed $200,000,000.
E. The Company has declared the
same scale Of annual dividends for
1913 as for 1912. This means that
about $4,000, 900 in dividends are
available for payment to policy
holders during the year 1913.
