Tigers Move Into
League Lead As
Solons Nip Yanks
NEW YORK, June 13 (UP) If
John McGraw were alive today
and could spare a moment from
his worries over the collapse of
the Giants, he probably would
pick the Detroit Tigers to win
the American league flag.
It was McGraw, the little "Na
poleon" of the majors, who pro
vided the proverb "You've got
to win the close ones to win the
pennant."
And that is the way the first -place
Tigers are going. They a'."..'
a fairly safe bet whenever they
get into a close game. They won
their 12th low-score game yes
terday, beating the Browns, 2 to
1 in 11 innings at Detroit.
' Yanks Take Close Ones
Among the other clubs, only
the Yankees have been consist
ent winners in sweating out the
close ones. They have won sev
en out of 10 games by one-run
margins. Cleveland has won
nine of 17, Washington seven out
of 13, Boston is even up with six
and six, the White Sox five out
of 13, the A's four out of 13 with
the Browns bringing up the rear.
Fears that Hal Ncwhnusor,
left-wing ace of the Tigers, wasn't
up to his 1044 form were dis
pelled when he won his eighth
game against four defeats, put
ting him exactly even with his
record at this stage of the race
a year ago. He was a miser in
the pinches, stranding 13 men on
base, as he outpitched Jack
Kramer.
Leonard Beats Yankees
Emil (Dutch) Leonard, who
makes the second division Sena
tors look like champions when
he pitches against the Yankees,
beat them for the second time
in a week, 5 to 3, knocking them
out of the lead.
R u s s Christopher, pitching
III rce innings in relief, won his

By JACK CUDDY-
NEW YORK, June 13 (UP)
A new murderers' row1 in the
major leagues operating under
the skull and bones of the Pitts
burgh Pirates is ready now to
wrest first place in the National
circuit from the faltering Giants.
The Steeltown Bucanecrs arc
only one game behind the lead
ing New Yorkers,, and they're
swashbuckling along. .
Their chief, Frankic Frisch,
keeps his fingers crossed because
during the five previous seasons
that he helmed the Pirates, they
never menaced the National cir
cuit flag. True, they did wind up
in second place in '44; but they
were 14V4 games off the pace set
by the champion Cards.
According to the latest aver
ages, the Pirates lead their cir
cuit at the plate with a club
batting mark of .275. They arc
first in hits with 415, first In
tuns scored with 232, first in
runs battpd in with 213, and first
in doubles with 77, and in triples
with 18.
The Pirates have menacing
potential power.. If you include
legularS, utility men and substi
tutes who fill In frequently in
the 'pinches," : Frankio has six
batsmen with averages that
range from .300 to .424. They in
clude Lee Handloy, now playing
regularly after arriving late and
who has fashioned the .424 mark;
Tommy O'Brien, .345; rookie cat
cher Bill Salkeld; .320; rookie Al
Gionfriddo, .328; the ex-Yank-je
veteran Jackie Saltzgaver, .320;
and olstcr Bob Elliott, ,300.
Afield,, the Pirates would not
cause inspired baseball writers
to compose sonnets about the
poetry of motion; but they have
what appears -to be adequate pitching.-
Their mound staff is led
by Truett (Rip) So well, the
"blooper ball" expert, who has
seven victories. Preacher Roc

For Swaps Wanes
CHICAGO, June : 13 (UP)
Manager Charlie Grimm of the
Cubs was shopping for a pitcher,
the Yankees arc after Jeff Heath
and several other deals were
brewing today with the major
league deadline for trades only
two days off.
Friday midnight marks, the
final hour that big league clubs
can trade or purchase players,
although they may continue to
get them from the minor leagues
or pick up discarded performers
vja the waiver route.
'All teams, still-suffering from
tho manpWor pinch, are anxious
to swing swaps, but nobody
wants to give anything away
which has the makings of a stale
mate. -
Yankees Need Slugger
The Yankes admit they would
like the Cleveland Indians' Heath
hitting for them in Yankee stad
ium. Tho 29-ycar-old outfielder
smacks a long ball and would fit
perfectly into their big, horse
shoe ball park. Heath, after hit
ting .331,' for the Indians last sea
son, was a holdout in Seattle unsigned.-
, ' '
til Wednesday when ho- finally
Always a bit recalcitrant,
Heath's main' reason for 'stalling
this season, according to reports,
was that he -wanted to be traded.
It's still possible, .with the' Yan
kees in second place and needing
extra bat power, that 'he may get
his wish before 12' o'clock- Fri
day night.
. Cubs Also Need Hurler . .
Grimm has four of' the best
catchers in the National league
and he's ready to:, swap ' one , of
them for a winning pitched The
Cubs have skidded Irom first to
fifth place mainly because .of tho
need for another tatarting iiurler.
With Lefty Bbb Chiprhah expect
ed to be called- into service with
in a month, Grimm is-trying to
talk someone out of a pitcher.
Dick Sicbert, the Philadelphia
A's heavy hitting first baseman,
reportedly is on the block as a
result of Connie Mack's house
cleaning campaign.
The A's also reportedly are in
terested in Heath and Sicbert
may be the kicker in the deal
since Cleveland's present first
baseman, Mickey Rocco, also can
play the outfield. :
