4 rOTTR MEDTOFD MAIL TSIBUNB W.dnMdsT. Sspl. S, 1945 Limping Detroit Bengals Defeat Yankees, 10 To 0 New York. Sept. 8 (U.R) It was almost quiet enough to hear a bomb drop in the Detroit dress ing room, but in all the bedlam following a 10 to 0 victory over the Yankees there wastTt one word about a pennant. The cheering was for Paul (Dizzy) Trout, whose seven-hit moundcraft silenced the Yankee bats and Hank Greenberg and Roger (Doc) Cramer, whose booming homers paced the 15 hit attack. The victory boosted their lead to two-and-a-half games, widest margin they have enjoyed in nearly three weeks. Much Back-Slapping Pennant talk is taboo In a race as tight as. the American League strrtch drive and be sides the Tigers had won only one game in a scries of seven. But there was back-slapping, ex changing of compliments, and other evidences of confidence. Trout's return to form was a big morale booster because the pitching staff is weakened badly for the six remaining games in the all-imporlant series with the Yankees. The big winner, Lefty Hal Ncwhouser, still Is In Detroit with a side injury. Even If he pitches in tue series, he may not be In top form. Alton Benton, a sensation early In the season Is In a slump. He failed to finish his last six starts and has gone without a victory since Aug. 6. Little Tom my Bridges, "tickled to death to be back In uniform I mean a baseball uniform," Injured the long finger on his pitching hand in his first appearance since leaving the army. That spreads the staff pretty thin, leaving only Frank (Stubby) Ovcrmlre, Les Mueller, Zcb Enton, Jim Tobln and George Caster, most of whom are relief pitchers, Trout Gets Blow The Tigers made all their hits off starter Allen Gettel. Trout touched off the offensive with a Ingle which drove In the first run. But they could do nothing for three-and-a-half Innings against 43-year-old Paul Schrol- ber. who took over as a Yankee hurler. The second place Cardinals blew a chance to gain on the leading Cubs In the National when they played to an 8 to 8 tie in 12 Innings In their final game of the season with Pitts burgh. The game was called when the Pirates had to leave to catch a train, Just before the Cardinals baited In the 12th. The game was wiped from the books since tne teams do not meet again, There were no other major league games. DORIS HICKSON HURLS TEAM TO 13-6 VICTORY Behind the steady pitching of 14-year-old Doris Hlckson, the Orphnns halted the Amazons 13 to 6 In the girls' city Softball league last night. Not only did the little left-hander pitch an ex cellent game by allowing only Ix hits, but hit four singles out of four trips to the plate to lead her team at bat. The Orphans came up with one home run, five triples, two doubles and nine Ingles to accumulate 17 hits. Score: Orphans 13 17 2 Amazons ft fl 3 D. Hlckson and Campbell; Rlggs and Hood. UCLANS DRILI.
