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.. ;

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.

Hal Newhouser, for many
years the outstanding southpaw
in the American circuit, now
has the losing record of five won
and eight lost for this season. 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.
