DETROIT, May II - (P) -
Three times postponed because
of rain, Detroit's first meeting
of the l945 American League
season with the Philadelphia
Athletics was reset for today in
the form of double-header. AL
Benton and Hal Newhouser were
Detroit's pitching nominees, op-
posing Don Black and Russ
Christopher of the AS.
Peculiarly enough, rain which
washed out Philadelphia ap-
pearances here Monday. Tues
day and Wednesday may pro-
vide Benton the distinction of
hurting two games in row for
the Tigers. The big Navy dis
chargee won his fifth straight
verdict of the season in the
second half of Sundays twin
bill with Boston.
Nicked for only one earned
run in five full games, Benton
has recorded three shutouts and
goes into today's game with a
stretch of "a successive score
less innings pitched.
Newhouser, like last season,
is off to a poor start in the vic
tory column, winning but two
of his first five starts. One of
the wins, however was a one-hit
masterpiece and manager Steve
O'Neill expects the tall left
handler soon to reach the form
that carried him to 20 pitching
triumphs in 1914.
Going into the abbreviated
tWO-game series with Philadel-
phia the Tigers needed only an
even split to maintain a record
of not having lost an American
League series since July, 1914.
Detroit played its last Is series
last season with no worse than
an even break and won four and
split three of its first seven SER
les this season. Last club to
take a series from the Tigers
was the Boston Red Sox, which
swept three games just before
the Bengals opened a surge that
carried them into the stretch
duel they lost to st. Louis for
the 1914 flag.

IN THE MONEY

IN THE MONEY
MisWeet, showing steady i'm
provement since she was bought
by Rose at Lexington in the fall
Of l943, has won three of her Is
starts, placed second eight times
and came in third once.
She has definitely shown an
inclination for the longer routes
and should be in good form on
Derby day.
Weighing a little more than
1900 pounds and measuring 10
hands four inches in height,
Misweet has just recently run
the mile and one-sixteenth
course in 1902 on wet track
at Churchill Downs. She still
holds the record for the Detroit
track for five and one-half fur
longs which she ran last sum-
mer in 59.2.
Rose, who paid mere 81 $50
for the filly when she was a
yearling said that he had been
offered $4,000 for her. He
stated that she has thrown dust
into the faces Of some Of the
best horses in the South and he
was confident she will run like
a champion on Derby Day.
Asked how he became inter-
ested in racing, Rose smiled and
said that when he accepted his
position on the Racing Commits
sion he felt that since he would
have to watch horses run he
thought he might as we'll watch
his own as somebody else's.
Rose stated that his ambition
of entering Misweet in the Der
by was given a crushing blow
at the blackout on racing but
added that he had his fingers
crossed and kept her in the best
OF condition in case and
the "in case" happened.
Four Detroit-oWned I hre e.
year olds have also been nomi-
mated for the derby. but one Of
them War Liberator has already
been sold and has retired from
racing.
