NEW YUM, sept. O-(HJ-
Detroit's pennant hungry Tigers
still held a two and half game
lead in the American League
race as they planned to throw
Hal Newhouser and Jim Tobin at
the Yankees in a twin bill here
today.
The two clubs split a double
header Wednesday, the Tigers
breaking out with 14-hit attack
to grab the opener 1917 while
they mustered only three hits in
dropping the nightcap S to l..
The Tigers lost no ground in
the pennant scramble however
as the second place Washington
Senators also provided double
header with the third place St.
Louis Browns.
Detroits win in the first game
came in dramatic fashion after
they entered the ninth inning on
the short end a 7 to 5 score.
Hostetler walked to open De-
troit's ninth and went to second
on McHale's hit. Eddie Mayo
then teed off on one of relief
pitcher Floyd Bevens' offerings
and the wallop gave Mayo his
10th homer of the season and the
Tigers an & to 7 lead.
Before the SSH fans-larg-
est weekday crowd in the his
tory of Yankee stadium-had a
chance to get settled, Hank
Greenburg duplicated Mayo's
feat to make the score 8 to 7.
Roy Cullenbine continued the
assault with a double and romp-
led home on Rudy York,s tremen-
dous triple off the centerfield
wall to give the Tigers their
win.
George Caster was credited
with the victory, having re-
lieved Stubby Overmire in the
fifth when the Grand Rapids
twirler was unable to hold the
McCarthymen in check.

retired in swift order.
The Terracemen entered the
ball game in the second stanza
when D. Whalen first batter up,
doubled. He was sent to third
on Shannahan's grounder and
scooted plateward on a passed
ball.
Neither team was able TO
work up enough steam to nick
the plate in the third but in the
fourth the Gardens combine
punched two singles and took adj
vantage of three errors and a
walk to 60 plateward four times.
Shannahan and Claude Mel
drum spanked out the hits and
Regal got the free pass. The
runs were scored by Regal, Lo-
zon, Shannahan and Bowling.
Holding only a one run ad-
vantage until the seventh the
Oddfellows scored two more
runs in the final frame to put
the game on ice. Carlos and
Thoel each got doubles and
Moore knocked out a single.
l.. Witt and Carlos each garn-
cred two hits in three trips 10
the batter's box to win hitting
honors. d. Whalen Shannahan
and Claude Meldrum got the hits
for the Gardens.
Meldrum hurled a good game
for the Gardens but poor sup
port kept him in trouble most
of the game.

and took advantage of loose ~

times and nip the Cameramen 2

CAMERAMAN SHACKLED
Thrown out of focus by Dam
ME Warmers sh p-breakins
slants, the Photographers were
unable TO score until the sixth
frame.
Warner gave up only one hit
up to the sixth inning and the
Photogs got two in that inning
but the Kolozvari's hit was a
slow bunt which he beat out.
Equally effective on the mound
was Marv Leggett who went
without his usual wild first in
ming and hurled one of his best
performances of the season. He
held the Oilers to two hits both
garnered in the third frame but
poor support by his teammates
cost him the victory.
Neither twirler gave up a sim
gle walk with Dannie Warner
tanning six Cameramen and Leg
get battling four.
The Texacoans scored both
their runs in the third when Milt
Darling knocked out the first
hit off of Leggett. The ball
went over the shortstop position
and was muffed by the rowing
short allowing Darling to scamp
er TO second.
DARLING SCORES
On Leggett's next pitch, Wag-
ner, Andy's left fielder. hit a
grounder to Ballantine who hes
titated moment and then de-
cided to nab Darling going to
third. He waited a moment too
long and his throw was low 60
ing through Pete Heller cover
ing third and allowing Darling
to scoot home for the initial tai
ly.
With Wagner on second the
next batter famed and then
Dannie Warner dubbed a nice
lit in back of the first baseman
to send Wagner TO third.
Reggie Trombly who played
a brilliant defensive game at
short for the Oilers then popped
10 Art Bonnet at first base who
Tipped the pellet home in an
effort to nab Wagner
The ball smacked Kolozvari's
glove and he laid it on Wagner
but as Umpire Elroy Richter
started to lift his hand, signing
the putout, the white ball left
the catcher's hand giving the
Oilers their second and winning
run.
Hillcrest got several men on
base during the next few frames
but were unable to nick the
plate until the sixth.
Van Hollenbeck galloped -
first when the Oiler catcher
dropped the third strike. Kol-
Dwarf then laid down a slow
ount to advance Van Hollenbeck
10 second and to place himself
on first. Ballantine also laid
down a sacrifice but Warner
whipped the ball TO catch Van
Hollenbeck sliding into third.
With Kolozvari on second
Pete Heller cracked out q clean
hit to score Kolozvari. Heller
was stranded on second however
as Warner single handed turned
the next two batters down.

newly-created star who makes his screen debut as the immortal com poser, and Joan Leslie, Alexis Smith and Charles Coburn in other importan roles, the film is an ex- citing and a blend of musical and cinematic features.
 Fulfilling the promise contained in its title (borroWed from Gersh- wins best-loved musical compost tion), the film presents an un- abridged rendition of Rhapsody in Blue" with Paul Whiteman on hand to conduct and Oscar Levant lifetime friend of the composer, do- ing full justice to the piano pas sages. Both stars have speaking parts as well in the film, as do many other notables of stage and screen who figured prominently in the composers life. Among them are: Al Jolson, George White, Ha- gel Scott Anne Brown and Tom Patriocola. The warm and human story of the rise of young Ameri- can from the sordid, uninspired ranks of New York's lower East Side, "Rhapsody in Blue" is a saga of inspiration.
 Rhapsody in Blue" presents in all, % of Gershwin's own compost tions, including all of his more Se- rious works, and the most popular of his song hits. The complicated orchestrations are brilliantly ac- complished by Ray Hendorf under the supervision of musical director Leo F. Forbstein.
