go. His best ring days certainly
were behind him when he heard

BY LEO MACDoNELL

With an open date in the Sched-
ule today, the Tigers took stock
of their progress in the torrid
four-way scramble for the Ameri-
can League pennant and found 1t
still promising in the wake Of a
split with the Browns at Briggs
Stadium yesterday. They took a
shellacking- II 10 2. in the night
cap. after winning the first game,
5 TO 3.
A seasons record crowd of So
1881. 376 psid-Saw Harold New
houser bag his Dist triumph of
the season. Dick Wakefield blast
out his seventh home run and a
torture parade of the shabby side
of Detrolt'S pitching staff.
AS a result of the split, the tt
gers today were clinging 10 third
place by one percentage point over
the Red Sox, four games behind
the league leading BrownS-the
Sox making a sweep in double
header with the Athletics. The
Yankees divided with the Senators
and were still holding the second
slot. three and one-half games out
of first place.
