RSP ——— S —— e BRSNS WHEN YOO GET TO THE STUDIO-I WANT YOO TO FIND OUT WHAT THE EXECUTIVES THNK OF THE LAST SCENE | WAS IN- Sports Review of Past Year; Tigers Top Baseball World, Even in Win By HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR. | NEW YORK, Jan. 1.—In every- | thing from the decisive battles on | | | the field right through the dicke: ing for “ivory” at the mid-winter meetings, 1835 was Detroit’s year in baseball. Manager Mickey Cochrane’s Tig- crs paraded through the American league, after a slow start, won the American league pennant for the ! second straight year, with the New York Yankees, second, then handed the Chicago Cubs a thorough drub- bing in the World Series. Just to ! complete the triumphant picture,| they walked off with one of the prizes of the winter market, Al Sim- mons of the White Sox. Simmons | cost them $75,000 but he is expect- | ed to add a lot of strength to the | Tiger outfield next season. Sorrow also tinged the Tiger pi c-‘ ture with the death of Frank J.| Navin, president and principal own- | er, in November. His death was a‘- | tributed partly to the excitement attendant to the winning of the world championship. He was suc- ceeded as owner by Walter O. Briggs. Babe Ruth “Fades Out” | Outside of Detroit's doings and the unexpected triumph of the Cub: in the National league, it was a sea- ed by the unusual both on the field and off. The spectacular fadeout of Babe Ruth and the sub- sequent difficulties of the Braves, and the advent of night baseball! were two of the highlights Ruth, nearing the end of his use- fulness as an American leaguer, join- ed the Braves for awhile. It turned out that he couldn’t bring the fans through the turnstiles in numbers sufficient to keep the Braves out| of the red and he quit in a huff The Braves, going on to set a “mod- ern” National league record by los- | ing 115 games, saw Emil Fuchs forc- | ed from the presidency after numer- ous financial troubles and finally the franchise was forfeited to the | league for the same cause. A ncw deal for the Braves was arranged with Bob Quinn, former Red Sox president, taking over the club with the backing of Charles F. Adams, majority stockholder in the bankrupt club. There was stiff com- petition for fan following in Boston. Tom Yawkey, Red Sox owner, poured some $200,000 into the winter play- ing market to get Jimmie Foxx and other Athletics’ stars in an effort to build a pennant-winning team. Nocturnal Game Successful Baseball under floodlights was tried at Cincinnati before sizabley crowds. Nationai league magnates plan to continue it on a limited basis in 1936. The younger circuit vetoes the idea, although part of the in- crease in attendance was attributed to the night games. The National League pennant race brought another bitter hattle, with the Cubs, Cardinals and Giants scrapping down the stretch. After leading from the early part of the season the Giants slumped late in August, and wound up third. Chi- cago clinched the flag at St. Louis, winding up a sensational 21-game winning streak, one of the longest ever recorded in major league his- tory. ‘The Cub pitchers, who performed brilliantly in the dash to the pen- nant, couldn’t keep it up against the kind of bludgeoning that lifted the Tigers from sixth place late in May to first two months later. The series went six games. The White Sox, largely because of their young pitchers, Silent John Whitehead and Vernon Kennedy, were the early season sensations but failed to come through at the end. Gehrig the “Iron Man” The Yanks had one mark that couldn’t be threatened—the con- tinuation of Lou Gehrig’s “iron man” record. Lou played in every game, as usual, to make it 1,653 consecutive games, exclusive of World Series and exhibition contests. In the Na- tional league Gus Suhr established a new endurance standard by play- ing his 628th consecutive game. Other record feats included a pair of double-play performances by the Senators: First Baseman Joe Kuhel had 2 hand in 150 twin killings and Buddy Myer, at second, figured in 138—new major league marks for the positions. Myer also won the league batting title with .347, the lowest figure in 27 years. Terry Moore of the Cardinals and Doc Cramer of the Athletics each did the record- equalling stunt of hitting six times in as many trips to the plate. Dar- rell (Cy) Blanton achieved stardom by leading the National league pitchers with an earned run aver- age of 259 for his first full season in the major leagues. i | | |season Greeley State college finished | | WON'T HAVE TO FIND OUT- THEYLL-TELL NOW-IN REGARDS TO THAT LAST SCENE MY WIFE WELL-JUST GIVE HER OUR REGARDS . || HER SHE AND SAY THAT THE SCENERY DIDN'T YEP-TELL EVEN LOOK GOOD MICKEY ter ‘1 vory M art LOU ENNIS 1 ABOUT AT TOP. | IN ALL GAMES COLLEGE PARK, Md.
