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.

From Solons as
Portland Loses
By United Press
A determined Seattle team

mento Solons in both games of a
doubleheader, to whittle Port
land's lead in the Pacific coast
league to a precarious 1 14 games.
The Rainiers, winning their
second and third straight games
in a vigorous drive to knock Port
land from top spot, rang up tal
lies of 2 to I and 5 to 0.
San Francisco similarly took
both ends of a doubleheader,
beating Los Angeles 3 to 0 and
4 to 3, and emerged sole title
holder to third place in the stand
ings. Sacramento and the seals
had been tied there at 4'A games
behind.
Oaks Win
Oakland, meantime, was shel
lacking Hollywood 12 to 1 and
Son Dieeo was nounding out a B
to 3 victory over Portland.

hits in the Seals' opener at Los
Angeles, Pitching for the shut-out
Angels was Geo.rge Cornelias,
who was touched for 14 hits in
his 15th defeat.

nings when Sun Francisco tied it
up at three apiece with a run in
the seventh.
The first game at Sacramento
was a pitching duel between the
Solons' Guy Fletcher and the Ra

pitching.

mound triumph of the season for
San Diego, allowing the Beavers
only six hits. Portland's Ad Liska
was the losing pitcher, foiling in
a try for his 20th hurling suc
cess. A four-run rally in the
seventh drove Liska to the show
ers. Jack Tising replaced him on
the Beaver mound.
Hollywood scored Its lone run
in the last inning of the Stars
game at Oakland, in which the
Oaks unloosed 15 hits for their

NEW YORK, Aug. 30 (UP)
End of the major league races is
exactly a month away today and
both threaten to become so com
plicated that it is a welcome re
treat to take time out and pick
the 1948 winners, a much easier
job. 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.

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.
