Bucky Harris, bounced here

troit manager. kicked upstairs

salary. has his Tigers still lin
Ia contending position with two

perhaps it's time to take them

Bucky anticipates no pennant

since it is only six and one-halt
games out after spanking the
Senators. 80, last night before
Ia smattering of 1883 customers,
the man can dream. can't he?
Harris gets the worst of 1t on
scheduling. with a swarm OF
games against first-division
clubs due to occupy his time for
three weeks after leaving the
Capital, but the Tigers are re-
fusing to fold.
Regardless Of where Detroit
winds up. Harris can be grateful
to the Senators for making this
year enjoyable thus far. The
Tigers have polished of Wash
Iington IA times in II games
and unless Rookie Ted Aber-
Inathy can outpitch Ned Carver
today, Detroit will sweep the
three-game set and inflict a
NTH straight loss on the Sen

Under No Pressure
There's no pressure on Bucky
to win. His boss, Spike Briggs, Is
elated with results and declares
the Tigers are a year ahead OF
their timetable. Such a relaxed
atmosphere reacts favorably on
his fuzzy checked players.
A squirt by the Tigers could
make the exciting American
League flag chase even tighter

give them a reasonable start to-
ward a streak which would thrust
them more squarely into con-
tention.

HIRAM, Ohio, Aug. 4 IT,
Next week In Chicago against
the College All-Stars, the Cleve-
land Browns, champions Of pro
football. begin finding out how
well they can get along without
Otto Graham.
For, two weeks the Browns
have been at work here without
the T-quarterback whose passes

those two weeks, the feeling has
grown that Otto will be back

disabilities, and his performance
last season was one of his great
