second division in the American
League, but they certainly have
the prize rookie of the year in
Dave Ferris.
Public interest in the mound
performances Of this sensational
25-year-old pitcher eclipSes the
fanfare Of the sizzling race in the
junior circuit which finds the
FIRST four clubs separated by only
two games.

When, as a publicity dodge to

themselves to look worse than

The easiest way is the best way.
An old-tlmer in pro golf told
me one time that If any beginner
would hold the club properly IN
the left hand and swing the club
back as far as il would go, the
beginner couldn't hardly help hav-
ing correct left hand and arm,
and pivot action. Il
The same thing went, he sait

Slow Ball Hit
For a Homer
BY Leo MACDoNELL

PHILADELPHIA, May "a
Harold Newhouser came within
two outs of his third shutout OF
the season.
He lost shutout' yesterday
over the Athletics with one out
in the ninth inning when his
move to outfox Bobby Estalella
backfired.
The stubby Cuban outfielder
'1aid into" Newhouser's change
OF pace slow inside pitch and
exploded il for home run far
UP into the upper deck Of the
left field stands.
81 figured he would be look
Ing for q fast ball." Newhouser
explained. -
AS a result, the Tigers whipped
the Athletics, 7 TO !. and took
undisputed possession of second
place. The AS dropped into last.
A crowd OF $500 customers
saw the first meeting of the year
between the two clubs. They
were -rained out OF an entire
series in Detroit.
FINE PITCHING
Although Newhouser failed TO
bag a coveted shutout, the slim
left-hander's cup OF JOY was well
filled. Uncorking some OF his fin
est pitching of the spring, New
-houser. kept seven hits well scat
tered, Struck out IL and walked
one as he hung up his fourth
victory against three losses.
Bobby Wilkins, recruit short
stop up from Lancaster, a Phila-
delphia farm club, collected two
of the seven blows, one double
that should have been an easy
out for either Doc Cramer or Roy
Cuttenbine.
Estalella.s homer was saipe fer
the ignominity OF whiting twice.
George Keli and Jesse Flores
also famed twice each as New
houSer mixed up a bewildering
assortment of pitches TO Connie
Mack's baffled boys. I
METRO WALKED
Charley Metro, a former Tiger
and second in the batting order,
was the one man Newhouser
walked. II came in the first, after
Wilkins had connected for his
tWo-bagger.
But with two men on base and
no one out, Newhouser steadied
and struck out Estalella. Joe
Burns and kell -Estalella and
Burns didn't get the bats off their
shoulders.
Jesse Flores started on the
mound for the Athletics and
pitched well for seven innings lie
gave FIVE scattered safeiies. Two
were put together for the first
Tiger run in the second inning
when Rudy York doubled and
scored on a single by Doc Cramer.
Flores collapsed in the eighth
as the Tigers pounded out seven
hits in a row and scored six tallies
for their biggest inning Of the
season.
OUTLAW STARTS 1T
There was one out when Jimmy
Outlaw scratched a single off
Kells glove 10 start the Tiger
fiesta. He stole second and went
10 third on Skeeter Webbs single.
Paul Richards singled Outlaw
home and Newhouser followed
with a bunt single, Bobby Maier
also singled, bringing Webb and
Richards across the plate.
Al this juncture Utter Joe
Berry replaced Flores. Eddie
Mayo greeted Joe with single
that scored NewhouSer and when
Cullenbine banged double up
against the right field wall Maier
and Mayo clicked at home.
