) 0y N FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 1950 TIGERS AND RED $0X 10 START SERIES (By Associated Press) Are 'the Detroit Tigers leaping out of the ftying pan in the fire? Having escaped the “kill” with a comeback to salvage the last game of a near-disastrous three-game series with the Yankees 'in New York, the Tigers moved cautious| today into the lair of Boston's 10- in-a-row Red Sox. Manager Red Rolfe entrusted the task of halting the Sox to Paul (Dizzy) Trout, currently the how- test pitcher on the Tiger staff. Southpaw Mel Parnell, always a tough pitcher for Detroit to beat, was Ramed by Manager Steve O’- Neill. No matter what happens in the two-game series the Tigers are as- sured of leaving Boston stil} in first place. They made certain of that yesterday when they overcame a 3-0 deficit to conquer the Yankees, *6-3. Had they lost yesterday, the Tigers would have seen their once comfort- able lead shrivel to a half-game advantage. The Indiars swept a twi-night doubleheader from the Senators in Washington, 3-1 and 5-3, to climb into a virtual second place tie. The fourth place Red Sox won their 10th straight, defeating the St. Louis Browns, 6-2. They trail the pace- makers by four and a half games. Thus far, the Tigers have not found Boston as tough as usual. They've already whipped the Red Sox 11 times in 18 meetings. It was Hal Newhouser who got the Tigers off the hook yesterday. He scattered four hits after the third inning to register his 1lth victory, his first since :July 17. 3 A''ctowd of 44,078 saw the Tigers send Tommy Byrne to cover during a winning two-run rally in the sev= enth. The Red Sox came from behind with ‘& hinth-inning rally to beat St. Louis. A grand slam homer by Vern Stephens with two out did it. Early Wynn won his 15th and Bob Lemon his 19th as'the Indians pick- eed up another half game on the Tigers. Larry Doby’s 20th homer broke a 1-1 tie in the opener. Brooklyn’s streaking Dodgers cuu a half gamesoff Philadelphia’s big National League lead by sweeping a pair at Cincinnati, 1-0, 7-8. Preacher, Roe pitched his second successive 1-0 shutout in topping Ewell Blackwell in the opener. It was Roe’s 17 victory.

Seldom, if ever, in the 50-year | history of the meet has such a pro- hibitive favorite emerged in the | semi-final stage. Stranahan himself is almost as confident as the railbirds. The in- ternationally-known 28-year-old To- ledo golfer has never gained the | semi-final round before. If Frankie wins he will become the first player since Lawson Little 15 years ago to capture both the British and National amateurs in one season. + In today's scheduled 36-hole ac- FRANK STRANAHAN ' FAVORED T0 TAKE {lt President Signs, (Inferior Secretary |Will Sell Gravel i { | WASHINGTON, Aug. 25-+P—The lSv:n;uc passed and sent to the Pre- sident yesterday a bill to authorize the Secretary of Interior. to sell gravel and peat moss on school lands in Alaska and turn the money over to the Territorial school fund.
