DETROIT, Sept. o. up The
Detroit Tigers came from behind
twice today to capture double
header from the Boston Red Sox,
7 to 4 and 8 to 6, before a crowd
of 1922 paid, increasing their Am

half over second place St. Louis
pending the outcome of a night
game with Philadelphia.
Neither of Detroit's overworked
pitching stars, Hal Newhouser nor
Dizzy Trout, saw action as Ruff
Gentry went the route for his fourth
straight win in the opener, thanks
to Dick Wakefield's third homer
in as many days, this time with the
bases full.
Gentry gave six hits, two in the
first inning, when the Red Sox

hits, nine of them off starter Joe

But Mr.. Mack apparently took
offense. He wasn't angry, exactly.
You just can't imagine the gra-
cious goodness gracious" getting
angry. Aggrieved would be a bet
ter word, and he remarked pub
licly he would like nothing better
than to have his AS flag down the
YANKEES in the series then coming
up. You can just imagine him say
ing to his players.
"Now, boys, I'd like to win this
series very much. Please do your
best, will your" And the boys, who
will do anything for the old gentle
man, did just that.
McCarthy's error may not have
been an error, but you can second
guess it as one. He seemed to be
pointing quite obviously to the De-
troit series, possibly figuring the
athletics could be pushed a S d e
with the handle end of a bat.
Anyway, he withheld his ace,
Borowy, from the Philadelphia Sc
ries for use against the Tigers,
with the result the 11-day vaca-
ton apparently did Borowy no
good whatsoever. The Tigers
Knocked him off willy-nilly.
Borowy could have been used
both against the AS and in the
series with Detroit without over
taxing him, and he might have
been able to salvage one game
of the Philadelphia series, and pos
sibly his start against the Tigers.
