Detroit Tigers On Way to Setting All Time Low Record
CBY THE Assoc1AfED PREssI

The Detroit Tigers have an out standing candidate for the Am erican Leagues rookie of the year, one of the loops outstanding hit ters and a reasonable chance of finishing the season with the worst record in modern baseball history.
 As spring training ended, Man aged Freddie Hutchinson looked over his Tigers, who had fin ished 45 games behind the win ming New York Yankees last year, and declared:
 "We're not last place outfit. :"
 In Hutchinson's favor have been Shortstop Harvey Kuenn, one of the most promising first year men in either league, and heavy hitting lineup paced by Bob Nie- man at .312. Yet today, with less than third of the season gone, the Tigers have lost 34 out of A contests and are 211A games out of first place.
 If they continue to lose at this pace they would end the year with 35 victories and 119 losses. That's two more losses than any modern major league team ever has suffered. It also would be the worst percentage in history, .227. the record lows currently are 117 losses and percentage of .235, both by the Philadelphia Athletics of 1916.
 Detroit lost twice yesterday to the Athletics, 11-2 and 9-6, run ming its present winless string to 12.
 Meantime, the Yankees contin- ued their winning streak at the expense of the Chicago White Six with a 9-5 decision in 10 innings. The Tanks now have taken seven in a row, equalling their best 1852 winning spell

I, 1850. which was published In
Chicago just before the election.
The resulting 45-column story
was credited with playing . part
in the defeat Of Capt. Gilbert,
Democratic candidate for sheriff
Of Cook County.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney Fred Smithson told Judge
Mclaughlin the weight of the
Governments case was contained
in transcripts of testimony Mr..
Brennan voluntarily gave to
Congress last January concern
ing the methods he used to OBJ
tain the story.
The judge said the Govern
ment could not rely on Mr.. Bren-
mans own testimony to prose-
cute him because a Federal law
specifically applies that such
testimony before a congressional
committee may not be used
against a witness In a criminal
prosecution.
Mr.. SmithSon told the court
he realized the case would have
to rest primarily upon the i'm
mune testimony and that both
he and United States Attorney
Charles M. Irelan agreed that
other evidence woud be pri.
marily circumStantial.
