Tigers Buy Evers, Send
Lund 10 Giants Farm

DETROIT, July 80. - The
Tigers purchased Outfielder Hoot
Evers from the New York Giants
yesterday and sold Outflelder
Don Lund to the Giants farm
team in Minneapolis.
The 33-year-old Evers first
came up to the major leagues
with the Tigers in 1941. After
spending three years In military
service he was a Detroit regular
from 1916 to 1852, when he was
traded to the Red Sox.
The Giants purchased Evers
from Boston earlier this year.
Prior to this season Evers had
a .284 lifetime batting average
with SO home runs.
Lund. 81, came to Detroit In
1949 In q purchase from the st.

Stobbs Still On Beam.
Chuck Stobbs, who won nine
of his last IL starts last year
to finish with an 11-8 mark, is
threatening to improve on that
late drive this season. Chuck
was staked to four runs in the
| first inning yesterday at Bal
timore and breezed to a 60
win by holding the Orioles to
five hits.
The triumph was Chuck's
fourth straight, squared his rec
ord at SIS and enabled the
Senators to escape with one de-
cision in the three-game series.
Stobbs didn't permit a runner
to advance as far as third base
and only two reached second.
Despite the victory, the Sen
ators dropped out Of the first
division because the Tigers took
two games from the Athletics
at Detroit. The Tigers now have
won two more and lost two
more than Washington, this Civ
ing them a margin Of .002 in
the standings.
Ex-Collegian Routed.
Billy ODell, former Clemson
star, making his first major
league start, didn't survive the

with a double off the leftfeld
wall and took third when Wayne
Terwilliger grounded out. Mickey
Vernon's double scored Yost.
and a walk to Jim Busby and a
single by Roy Sievers produced
another run and chased the
rookie lefthander.
Tom Implicit welcomed Lon

a single which scored Busby.

run when Ed FITZGERALD and

In 10 consecutive games with
Cleveland and third-place Chi

times. But two of the losses
were to the Indians.

Stop Planning Mama for Mothers Short comngs-
BY Olive A. Adams

We note with considerable interest that
the question of parental responsibility in the
matter of juvenile delinquency has popped up
again. 1t does every once in a while, and at
those times Mama takes the biggest share Of
the panning. OF course, somebody remembers
there's Papa, too, but mostly mothers get the
bulk of the blame heaped on them. The young
er generation is going to the dogs they say
because Nom isn't on the job.

Masnas training for her job sometimes isn't
quite all it could be academiCally or
psychologically. So we suggest a complete a.
bout-face in the whole education of our flu
ture mothers and fathers.

early every little girl comes into the world
as second choice, She's very cute and sweet
and all that, but relatives and friends all but
extend condolences because she wasn't boy
Whatever she expresses an interest in is strict
ly taboo unless it has to do with ruffles and
dolls and such; and if there are any little
boys near her age around, they are encourage
ed to patronize her as though she was some

all, she's only a girl. If she appears to have
