Rightflelder Roy Johnson has sup plied the big batting punch so far with 14 hits In 32 trips for an aver age of .438, but the club has been hitting right down the line. Charlie Gehrln?er, whose bat has been a po tent factor In almost every game. drove three runs across with a double and triple yesterday as the Tigers made it three out of four from the Browns, 8 to 0. Whltehill, turning in his second victory, kept six hits well spaced. . . Senators Continue.
