Crucial Series
Starts Friday

BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug. 23-The
Tigers, climaXing successful
farewell tour of the East, arc
stopping over here today and en-
gaging the Bisons in an exhibition
tonight. Touring their operations
on the Atlantic seaboard they
strengthened their position by
winning 10 games, losing six and
tying one.
Because Hal Newhouser failed
for the first time against the
Yanks this year. the Tigers will
be in third place instead OF second
when they engage the Browns in
that important series beginning
next Friday.
The third place rivals broke
even in New York and the Yanks
thus reinstated themselves in sec
ond place but by only half game
They will be playing the Senators
while the Tigers are wrestling
the Browns.
HAL HAD NOTHING
Newhouser had nothing as he
sought his sixth consecutive win
over the Bombers but though he
was knocked out in a fifth inning
attack that produced six runs and
gave the Yanks 9 10 0 lead. The
Tigers rallied 10 cancel seven Of
those runs in the last three
innings.
They threw quite a scare into
Joe Mccarthy. who had 10 fence
desperately with his slender pitch
ing resources 10 stave off a defeat
that would just about have thor
oughly convinced the Yanks that
this is not their year. Old jim
Turner finally stopped them after
they had scored once and had the
tying runs on the bases with only
one out in the ninth.
