BATS FIVE HOME

Besides the homer, the Tigers
Sol 900 beauty, late of the navy,
racked up a two-bagger and a
single in the Tiger triumph, which
gave Richard four hits for the
two contests. He batted home
FIVE runs during the afternoon.
Hitting safely in all three games
in which he has participated since
Irejoining the Tigers, Wakefield
has totaled eight in ID times at
bat for batting average of more
than 500.
Though he did not finish the
contest, Joe Orrell was officially
the winning pitcher in the second
game. the second time he has
started this season. The triumph
gave the lanky Californian two
victories and one defeat in the
record.
Orrell hurled five innings. dur
ing which time he yielded nine
hits and two runs.
Johnny Corsica was the real
Tiger pitching hero, turning in a
fine relief job 10 save the contest
for Orrell. Corsica took over
in the sixth inning with two Chi
cogoanS on base and no one out
and retired three batsmen in a
row. He then held the Sox 10
two hits and no runs in the re-
naming three full innings.
OTHERS HIT
Besides Wakefield. Joe Orengo
and Joe Hoover, set the pace at
bat for the Tigers in this contest.
Orengo, like Wakefield, generally
had big day. helping himself to
four hits and playing fine game
at third base. where he is filling
in for the ailing Pinky Higgins.
/. Lopat, the White Sox finger,
who once was an usher in Radio
City Music Hall in New York,
yielded 10 hits. one less than the
Sox aggregated. but the Tigers
blows came OPPORTUNITY and the
young left-hander's support was
rather shabby. errors of commits
sion and omission working against
him.
A one-handed catch by Eddie
Mayo off Dickshot was the field
ing gem of the affair. Mayo also
figured in four Tiger double plays,
two in each game. The quartet Of
twin killings ran the Detroit
teams total of double plays for
the season to 107, which tops the
league by good margin.
MISSES HOMER
After going hitless in the first
game and being the victim of a
booing bee, Rudy York banged
two hits in the afterpiece, one of
them a two-bagger that fell Just
short of being a homerun.
Harold Newhouser failed In a

Lee tBuckt Ross. who started
for the White Sox, was batted off
the hill in the fifth inning and
was replaced by the very good
Gordon Maltzberger, who finished
and held the home boys in check.
The Sox spread their five runs
over four innings. The Tigers
scored three OF their runs off
Ross in the fifth. Chuck Hostel

of them and the other was scored

Scientists call one type Of blister
beetle the 'Epicauta vitata." 1t has
the habit of laying eggs close to the
eggs of locusts. The eggs hatch into
larvae" which crawl or run about
the ground, digging little holes here
and there. They are looking for
locust eggs!
When they find batch of eggs,
they start to eat them. One larva
may take three days to eat a single
egg, but thousands of them can do
great damage to the crop" of To-
Gusts.
Locusts have destroyed plant life
of big value to people. 1t may be
that the breeding and spreading OF
"Epicauta vitata" will prove the best
way of halting the locust pest
Even if they do good work for us,
these beetles must be placed in the
class of robbers" since they feed
on eggs of other insects.
Some blister beetles are enemies
of bees. These have the special
name of "oil beetles" Their young
hatch from small yellow eggs and
swarm over Towering plants.
Waiting on the flowers, they catch
hold Of bees which come to get nee
tar. Then, tightly gripping hairs"
on the bees, they ride through the air.
If beetle larva is taken to a hive
of bees, it can expect to get out in a
hurry or else get killed. On the
other hand, it may cling to "soli-
tary" bee and may slip off in a nest
where it is safe from attack.
After eating bees egg, the larva
casts its skin, and then starts to
work on honey near the egg 1t has
destroyed.
