Detroit's suffering Tigers, who
had lost five straight games, To-
Gated a cure today. They clob-
bered Ted Abernathy, Dick Bro
dowski and Ted Sadowski for
10 hits. including home runs by
Harvey Kuenn and j. w. Porter,
for a 1913 victory over the Sem
ators.
Jim Lemon contributed two
run homer, his fourth of the ex-
hibition affairs, as we'll as a
single, while Herb Plews sup
piled three singles and Jerry
Snyder Clipped in with a double
and single to account for the
bulk of Washington's eight hits
against Frank Larry and Larry
Donovan.
The game was calculated to
bestir the Senator's bosses to
hasten adjustments via trades,
for during the five innings the
polished Larry was around. the
Senators collected only three
hits. Against the less accom-
plished Donovan. who had an
lilo record at Buffalo last sea-
son, they accumulated five hits.
Alternately Battered
And Washington's pitching
well the less said would be con-
sidered a distinct favor by the
Senators. Alternately was shelled
for IL hits and eight runs in
four innings, Brodowski gave I'D
four more hits and three runs
IN two innings and Sadowski
was the victim of Porter's three
run blast. They further cluttered
up the game by issuing 10 walks.
The Senators, who have won
only three of eight games and
have lost five of their last six
were out of this one by the third
inning. when the Tigers splurged
Tor five runs and a 6-1 lead. They
Ipried a run from Alternately in
the first inning on doubles bv
Mel Clark and Jim Small. but
the Senators tied it in the third
on Plews' single, Snyder's double

grounder.

the fifth, and with two out in the
