EDITOR’S OTE This is the second of a series of arti- cles ¢n the brilliant pennant dash being made by the De- froit Tigers. By EARL J. HILLIGAN DETROIT, Aug. 14— W hat’s holding them up?” At the start of the Americans League season the Detroit Tigers were picked to finish in the sec- ond division. Some picked Detroit to finish fifth, some sixth, and some seventh. Bookmakers in New York offer- ed odds of 30 to 1 that the Tigers would not win the pennant and many offered odds that Detroit would not be in the first division when the season closed. When the ‘Bengals started to climb toward the top of the league and failed to collapse in June and July, fans again began ask- ing each other “what's holding them up?” Tha answer is Mickey Cochrane Cin=se Goslin—plus a' .300 infielkl.

Moreover, they may Ccontinuz to {hand it out to ‘the New 'Yorkers for the kalance of the seazon, on the basis so far of the Giants' complete inability to combat them. When Paul Dean outpitched King Carl Hubbell out in St. Louis earlier in the season the boys were inclined to laugh it off as “one of those things.” “Huh,” remarked the Loyal Giant Rooters. “Wait until Slightly Diz- zy tangles up with Hubbell again and see what happens.” Well, folks, 29,000 or more cash customers in the Polo Grounds the other day saw what happened and it was even worse than the first time, from the standpoint of the Loyal Giant Rooters. Hubbell lasted only four innings, yielding seven hits and as many runs while Paul Dean, making his first ap- pearance in the box in two weeks, held the Giants to a brace of runs in seven frames and then turned the job of making the Glants look foolish in the last two innings to Brother Dizzy. Arms flapping and with full stcam on his fast ball, the elder Dean hancuffed the cham- pions. Each of the Deans has now beat- en the world champions four times with nary a defeat. If you think this doesn't make Bill Terry fairly boil with indignation, just mention the subject to him some day. In the last series with the Cardinals he shot his two aces, Schumacher and Hubbell, against the brothers but it didn't do the Giants any good. Everywhere the champions looksd, it seemed, a Dean was making faces or funny motions. By BILLE DE BECK BELIEVE ME . - \F T THOUGHT T WAS GONNA STAY DOWN HERE..
