BEA 7
BY BURTON HAWKINS

CLEVELAND. Sept. 1S.-Ii
Detroit wins five Of its remain
ing II games and thus finishes
with 80 victories--one more than
last year-manager Bucky Har-
ris will receive a bonus. But
Bucky also is expected to get
the ak from the Tigers, who
have won 10 Of their last IL
games.
Harris got his worst break Of
the year when Datatron. an cleo
tronic device. picked the Tigers
to win the pennant and the story
was published in a nationally
distributed newspaper supple
ment. Apparently Bucky's bosses
had faith in the thing. Book
makers picked the Tigers to
finish fifth and in this instance
the human brain was a superior
calculator. Recently in Detroit.
Harris nodded in the direction
Of Ned Carver, pitching batting
practice. HE has pitched IA in
nings all season." Bucky said.
IF he had been in shape, it
would have meant the difference
of seven or eight games and we
could have finished second"
Carver, who repeatedly makes
$4,000, is being paid at the rate
Of $1,400 an inning. He feels no
pain throwing a fast ball, but his
elbow hurts when he throws a
curve.
One misstep at Boston prob
ably cost the Tigers a chance to
