MEDFORDtffTRIBUNB Detroit Tiger Misfortune Regarded as Big Surprise Raschi, Reynolds Give Big One-Two Punch to Yankees By UNITED PRESS One sure way to starlan argu ment is to start comparing Vic Raschi 'and Allie Reynolds, but take it from Manager Casey Stengel, he's glad to have them both around. The two power-packing right handers have remarkably similar records' and because their sup porters are so evenly divided, neither probably will ever get the most valuable player award. The selectors never go down the line for one man or the other, and a look at their records shows why. Since 1947 when they both moved in as regular starters with the Yankees, Raschi has a 103-41 Card Purchase Profits Denied Washington (U.R) Fred M. Saigh, president of the St. Louis National Baseball club, accuses Sen. John J. Williams of trying to make a "political football" out of his purchase of the Car dinals. Williams, a persistent critic of the Internal Revenue Bureau, said in the Congressional Record July 4 he had been advised Saigh and the late Robert E. Hannegan made a "substantial profit" when they purchased the Cardinals for $4,055,142. Wil liams intimated this profit ac crued largely from failure of the Treasury Department to en force strictly certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Saigh's reply to Williams was printed in the current issue of the Congressional Record by Rep. Melvin Price (D-HI.) won and lost record while Rey nold's over-all mark is 100-48. Both are terrific clutch pitchers and competitors in big games and both are rugged workmen who can stand up in the pres sure-packed stretch run. Monday, as the .Yankees gave the Boston Red Sox pennant hopes another kick in the face, Vic fired a five-hit, 4-to-2 deci' sion for his 14th victory of the season against just three defeats. He pitched one-hit ball until the fifth, then eased up a little. In the only other major league game Monday, the Cubs topped the Pirates, 4 to 3, when pinch- hitter Phil Cavarretta, the Chi cago manager, broke things up with a two-run homer in the ninth. Dinky Murry Dickson had been nursing a'3-to-l lead going into the ninth when Bill Serena walked, pinchhitter Bruce Ed wards tripled and Cavarretta un loaded his homer.. ; Undefeated Duo Meets in ABC -Portland (U.R) Cascade Locks and Forest Grove clash Tuesday night at Westmoreland park here in the feature contest of the American Baseball Con gress semi-pro tournament.

TACOMA, WASHINGTON Distributors, Inc. 4th and Fir, Medford Phono 2-5243 By JACK CUDDY New York (U.R) Detroit, once one of the fairest flowers in the American League, has cer tainly gone to seed this year. It appears consigned to the cellar for the first time in its history. That such misfortune could befall Detroit, is surprising, in deed; for it is a very wealthy club and it has ranked for years with the New York Yankees as a top goal for ambitious players in the minors or majors. Then too, Briggs Stadium is, perhaps the most attractive park in all baseball. It is merely coincidental that the collapse of the Detroit Tig ers is occurring in the same year that Owner-President Walter O. Briggs died and was succeeded by son "Spike." Try Desperately Spike 'Briggs and General Manager. Charley Gehringer tried desperately to revive the supine , Bengals; but nothing they did could overcome the collapse of the pitching staff and the injuries to second baseman Jerry Priddy and catcher Matt' Batts.' Even the dismissal of Manager Red Rolfe and his re placement by Freddie Hutchin son did not stimuate a renais sance. Hutchinson, who gave up his relief-pitching duties to take the pilot's job, was at the new post less than 48 hours when Priddy suffered a broken leg while slid ing into the plate in a game with the Browns. That blow stagger ed Hutchinson. Al Federoff was brought up to take over the sec ond sack, but he hasn't yet proved himself a big-leaguer, particularly at the plate. Flabbergasting. - The disintegration of the Tig ers' mound staff this year was truly flabbergasting, for it had been regarded as one of the strongest in the majors despite a slight sluff-off last season when the club finished fifth.

It may be his last major campaign. Ted Gray has 9-13; Art Houtte man, 6-16; Virgil Trucks, 4-14; Ned Garver, 8-10 and Newcomer Billy Hoeft, 2-4. In other words, the - Tigers lack one winning pitcher. Ray of Light A ray of mound light may come from the farm club at Buffalo; N..Y., where Dick Mar lowe pitched a perfect no-hit, no-run game last Friday. He un doubtedly will get a chance with the Tigers next spring. So many player changes have been made on the club this sea son, some of the men have be gun to refer to the process as "the revolving door." In one of those changes, ace third-baseman George Kell went to Boston as part of a four-man package. Kell had not slipped, but he had to be used in a deal whereby General Manager Geh ringer thought the Tigers could be improved. To Other Clubs Others who were sent to other clubs were outfielder Hoot Ev ers, shortstop Johnny Lipon, pitcher Dizzy Trout, outfielder Vic Wertz, pitcher Marlin Stu art, pitcher Dick Littlefield, outfielder Don Lenhardt, pitch ers Gene Bearden and Bob Cain and first baseman Dick Kry hoski. Acquisitions included Walt Droppo," Johnny Pesky, Ned Garver, Jim Delsing, Davie Madison, Cliff Mapes, Matt Batts, Littlefield and Ben Tay lor.
