Bruton's 3-Run Blast
Helps Tigers Top Sox

DETROIT, April Is (AP).-
Outfielder Bill Bruton's first
American League hit-a three
run homer in the fourth inning
paced the Tigers to a 60
victory over the White Sox to-
day before 5,371 chilled fans.
Detroit jumped off to a two
run lead in the first inning
with Norm Cash TRIPPING in a
pair of runs off Cal McLish,
who was making his first start
with the Sox.
Bruton came to the Tigers
from Milwaukee in one of the
off-SeaSon's big trades.
The White Sox used four
pitchers while going down to
their second straight defeat.
McLish took the loss while Don
Mossi, who worked the first
525 innings earned the victory.
The game was notable for
lax base-running. The White
Sox had a potential third-in-
ming rally stamped out when
Pinch-runner Turk Lown sour
ried home from third on Nellie
Fox's fly to rightfield, but then
was called out for leaving the
base too early.
The Tigers came up with some
weird running in the fifth.
With the bases loaded on three
walks, Rocky Colavito broke

Orleans Doge, a Triple Crown
hopeful, apparently earned
himself a Kentucky Derby role
with a convincing come-from-
behind triumph in the 40th
Chesapeake Stakes at Laurel
yesterday as Alfred Wander
bits Ring Around, the even
money favorite, finished fourth
after a rough trip.
Owned by Ben Weiner, a
New Orleans furniture dealer,
Orleans Doge rallied from next
to last in the field of II three
year-olds with 43-year-old
Jockey George Hettinger en-
cheering his powerful rally.
Mrs. Mable McCabe's Scotch
Bull, who set nearly all the
pace in the mile-and-an-eighth
Derby stepping stone, held on
for second, a length and three
quarters behind. 1t was an
other four lengths back to the
Hill-n-Dale Farms Polarity
who gained third, a half length
in front Of Ring Around.
Winner Pays $3.50
Orleans Doge paid $3.50,
$500 and $4.40: Scotch Bull
$3.50 and $3.50 and Polarity
$3.50 to show.
The Chesapeake, worth a
gross of $4,000, was by far the
most important triumph in the
career of Orleans Doge, who
had done all his racing at the
Fair Grounds in New Orleans
before coming to Maryland
this spring.

Through July 7 he hit only four
homers and batted 1913 but he
finished with 81 homers and q
.276 average.
Although Barber was wild in
today's game, he was aided by
four double plays. Rookie Earl
Robinson and Dick Williams
paced a 12-hit attack on Chuck
Stobbs and three believers.
Robinson, purchased from
the Dodgers last winter,
knocked in three runs with a
triple and a single.
Williams, acquired from the
Athletics in a trade last
Wednesday, socked a 360-foot

OF This and That

CALVIN GRIFFITH is TELLING people
he is thinking bigger" since he herded his
old Senators out of town and into the
Minneapolis-St Paul area "a lot more
money lets us do it." Cal now says. I'VE
can hire more scouts and bid with rich
clubs for bonus players" The money differ
ence according to Cal: 81 million in ad-
vance sales as against $137, 900 which was
his highest in Washington; $525,OO0 for
radio-TV as compared with $4,000 he
received last year; $4,000 for scoreboard
advertisement as against $4,000 in the
Capital.
Gary Player, who is determined to win
more money than any foreign golfer in
history, is pretty free with one of the secrets
Of his success. Asked why he is partial to
dark dress on the links, Player explains
that black gives him strength. Now that
he knows, what's to prevent Arnold Palmer
from dressing like an undertaken for the
rich upcoming Akron Classic, National
Open, PGA and Colonial Open and over
coming the South Africans money lead,
which is $44,1S5 to $S1,725?
Not since 1924 had so many Senators
shared in the winners spoils of a World
Series as the current guys. The four ex-
Pirates-Manager Mickey Vernon, Bennie
Daniels. Harry Bright and R. C. Stevens
all got piece of the 1860 money, although
Vernon'S was the only full share.
GENE FREESE, now with the Reds,
apparently isn't completely happy about
being traded by the White Sox. FreeSe is
quoted: ut was pitching that cost the
White Sox the pennant last year, but was
the fall guy. They used me for bait so they
could get the pitching they needed"
One who predicted year ago that Freese
wouldn't solve Chicagos problems was Eddie
Sawyer, who as manager of the Phillies
okayed Genes trade to the White Sox in
the first place. A newsman asked Sawyer,
do you think Freese will help the White
Sox?"
"only If they don't play him." Sawyer
quipped.
Possibly to keep hotel from fitting in
case Ted KluszewSki draws a corner room,
the L. A. Angels have assigned Albie Pear
son as Klu's roomie. And an odd pair they
make, what with 140-pound Albie out
