Bridges Likely to be Big Help to Tigers By CARL LUNDQUIST NEW YORK, Aug. 3(1 (UP) If Tommy Bridges, the little guy with the gioat big curve bull is in good condition, whut a sight it will be for Detroit Tiger man ager Steve O'Neill, the day he starts taking his regular turn on the mound. Nothing could be a bigger shot-in-the-arm to their pennant chunces unless slugger Dick Wakefield popped up from the navy. . The Tigers arc better situated for pitchers thun they were a year ago when they lost the pen nant on the lust duy of the sea son. Instead of just Dizzy Trout and Hal Newhouscr they have Al Benton, one of the league's top percentuge pitchers. Howevci, Benton isn't winning now and thnt hurts. Browns Win O'Neill used him in a differ ent role at St. Louis lust night putting him in to relieve starter Les Mueller in the third. The Browns got to him quickly for two runs in the fourth, and scored another in the eighth to win 5 to 4. Washington divided with the Athletics at Philadelphia but re duced Detroit's loud to a single game. The Senators got two un turned runs in the eighth to win the opener, 3 to 2 when catcher Harlcy George of the A's made two errors on one play ut the plute.

The Cards and Yankees can't miss. Many u safer unci shorter ranged prediction has gone awry but in this case both clubs will be so heavily-endowed with tal ent the major chore of the execu tives will be in deciding how to rnuke the most efficient use of it. Hit Bottom Tlic fact that both teams cur rently are in contention for the 1945 flag bodes well for the class of players now operating for them, despite a war year in which all major league teams hit the bottom of the manpower barrel. But whut is fur more import ant is the fact they have fiom two to three times us many estab lished stars as any other major league teams. Lumping all the players, those who curried on in the final war year and the estab lished regulars in military ser vice, the Cards have 20 pitchers, 10 outfielders, two first base men, four second basemen, two shortstops, three third basemen, and three catchers. First Line The Yunkees are just us well off. To begin with General Man ager Lurry S. MucPhail has the promise of five players from the Cubs in completion of their di al with pitcher Hunk Borowy. Ad ditionally, they have 10 pitchers. 10 outfielders, three first base men, two second basemen, two rln sM of fun S fadSejof&ugfisll in Paramount's Musical SPORTS Page 8 9 and now there is much rejoicing and. hopes for a pen nan IF NOT THIS VAf?, , THEN 1946 FOR SURE!) THE END UP Staff Correspondent shortstops, two third basemen and five catchers. The Curds could field a first line team consisting of Terry Moore, Enos Slaughter, and Stun Musial in the outfield; Johnny Hopp on first, Jimmy Brown at second, Marty Marion at short, George Kurowski at third, Walk er Cooper catching and Johnny Beuzley, Ernie White, Howie Pol let, Max Lanier, Howie Krist, nnd Hurry Brechen pitching. Other Talent The second line pitching strength would be terrific. Such talented hands as Alpha Brazlu, Murry Dickson, John Grodzicki, George Munger, Jack Creel, Al Jurisich, Tel Wilks, Ken Burk hurdt, George Dockins and Glenn Gardner will be available. The front line Yankees would include Joe DiMaggia, Tommy Hcnrich, and Charley Keller in the outfield; Johnny Sturm on first, Joe Gordon on second, Phil Rizzuto at short, Billy Johnson on third, Bill Dickey catching and Spurgeon Chandler, Ernie Bonham, Alley Donald, Floyd Bevens, M a r i u s Russo, Bill Zuber and Walt Dubiel pitching. All of which excludes entirely the usual crop of young stars that ale harvested annually by both clubs. Par Still Safe on Oakmont Course OAKMONT, Pa., Aug. 30 (UP) Shooting pur golf for 72-holcs over the Oakmont country club layout still is n job to be accom plished today after four of the best golfers of modern times missed by a long way in the $10. 000 war bond tournament won by Byron Nelson.
