Tigers Lose
Exhibition, "a

BATTLE CREEK, July. IS
Steve O'Neill ought to make some
crunchy kind of a breakfast food,
preferably one made in Battle
Creek an every morning must"
for his men Judging from the re-
suit of yesterdays exhibition be-
tween bunch of not very
ferocious Tigers and the crunchy
eating Battle Creek All-Stars.
The All-Stars won ga.
If Their was a star on the field
he was Les Grey. old-time Battle
Creek pitcher, who held the Ii
gers hitless and runless in three
innings, then hit on his only time
at hat to drive in the run that
spelled Tiger defeat.
Orrell, the first Tiger pitcher,
was the least effective hurler of
the game. allowing seven hits and
five runs while he was on the
mound. Mooty and Gentry were
also generous to the All-Stars,
while Modica, Fort Custer
pitcher, was the only one the Ii
gers had any luck with. They got
him for three runs.
In addition to the 1000 soldiers
who saw the game free. approx
mately 5000 paying citizens were
on hand. Fourteen base balls
signed by the Tigers brought
81 600 in war bonds by auction.

Willie Pep Adds
Ortiz 10 String

BOSTON, July Is ms
Willie Pep, fast moving feather
weight from Hartford, Conn, left
hooked and jabbed his way to a
10 round unanimous decision over
Manuel Ortiz, Ell Centre, Cal,
before 10000 last night.
Pep, who had a quarter pound
advantage over his opponent, out
pointed the Mexican from the
start. He sent the heavier hitting
Ortiz to his knees in the first
round and in the ninth had his
opponent in a groggy condition.
The victory brings Pops score
to rs wins out of rs starts. There
were no titles at stake in the
bout held at Braves Field.

1t. Greenberg-GibsOn
Pushed To Win Title

backcourt play retarded the Ham,
tramck pair.
Mrs. Ebbers nailed the women's
honors for the eighth time in de-
feating Mary Lou Boyer, 80, 60,
81. Previously Mrs. Ebbers out
lasted Gertrude Bartholomew and
had a three-setter with Maryanne
Welcke.
Roszak salvaged consolation
from his CD, GA, 6-3 setback from
1t. Greenberg. The ex-marine's
powerful service, smash, and crisp
volleying produced a match after
the gallery resigned itself TO a
walkaway. 1t was easily the best
tennis OF Roszak's six season
career.
Tenacity won for Mrs. Ebbers.
Miss Boyer employed sharp cross
court driving. a deceiving drop
shot, and consistent passing TO
gain the first set. Short chops and
forehand placements helped Mrs.
Ebbers TO the second.
