NEW YORK, Sept. Is -R-Al-
though such things as a 1889 bat
ting average, home runs with the
bases full and pounding home an
assortment of other runs at op-
perfume times may or may not have
had anything to do with it,
the fact the upsurge of the Detroit
Tigers dates back to the return of
Dick Wakefield last July 10 is not
due entirely to the material help he
has provided
He provided a mental lift,
if smoothing out the worry wrink-
les of brawny Rudy York
can be called a mental lift. Manag-
er Steve O'Neill himself sees this
factor as Of major Importance
York was the howitzer of the
Tiger attack prior to the reap
pearance of Wakefield, and as
such the responsibility weighed up
on him heavily.
He knew he was the guy who
just had to hammer home those
runs, and the opposing pitchers
did their best to make it tough for
him. He was the one man in the
lineup they really had to concen-
trate on. They could pass him in
a pinch, and, if they felt up to
it, pitch to him but put all their
stuff behind it and give him moth
ing decent to hit.
York was pressing in an effort
to hit the ball." O'Neill explains.
"Wakefield's return took the pres
sure off him, with benefit
all around"
Which is true enough. With the
lanky, free-wheeling Wakefield fol-
lowing York in the batting order
opposing hurlers had two consecu-
tive worries, and there was no
percentage in walking York to get
at Wakefield. It would be too much
like walking Babe Ruth to get at
Lou Gehring.
Up to July S, or about a
week before Wakefield appeared,
the harried Rudy was batting only
PA for II games. He had hit
eight home runs and batted home
81 runs.
Through last Wednesday he had
boosted his average to .272 for
l39 games, had hit 10 home runs
and batted In 81 runs.
Another factor in the Tiger up.

Winter played an Easter sea-

in the South.
New Jersey felt the full brunt OF
the spring snowfall, drifts reaching
a depth of 13 inches in some areas
In New York State some sections re-
ported 6 inches of snow.
The prankish weather felled trees
in New York City and slowed traf-
|fic. A 4-inch snow cover at La
Guardia Airport forced halt in air
travel from there. Slight intermit-
tent snow was reported at Bing-
hamton, Elmira, Syracuse, Rome
land Rochester, N. Y.
The peach crop in the Greenville
IS. CO area, an important producing
section, was described by a leading
|orchardist as largely destroyed.
Some damage also was reported to
peach buds on Maryland's Eastern
Shore, where light snow and sub
freezing temperatures prevailed.
Snow and sleet in West Virginia
with temperatures as low as IA, en-
dangered plum, pear and peach
blooms.
Possible peach crop damage also
was expected in the Chattanooga
(Tenno region, where below -freez-
ing temperatures were predicted.
A similar cold snap was forecast
for North Georgia peach and vege-
table areas on the heels Of three
weeks of excessive rains which the
State crop reporting service said had
damaged commercial truck crops.
Birmingham, Ala, reported a tenn
perature of 30 degrees, the lowest
recorded there for April S.
An all-time low temperature for
the date, AZ degrees, was reported
by two Florida resort cities, Miami
and Jacksonville. Tallahassee was

BY resolution of Congress in the

Americas 1917 entry into the World
War was set aside as day on which
to remember the Army. 1t was just

Today the parades and the trek Of

American public knows about the
Army, and so does the enemy-for
today 1t is deployed around the

The Army expects to have 5.000,-
900 men overseas before this year is
out. That is more than all the
troops mustered at home and
abroad during the other war: only
2,059, ,629 served overseas.
The Army is nearing its goal of
