Nevers, a handsome young woman, works with Ernie on the program, and if the man of the house isn't carefull the little lady is apt to steal the show. It is difficult to believe Mrs. Nevers has had no previous television experience. The same can be said for Ernie.

"I never had been much of a sports fan," explained Margery Nevers, "The day after I had been Introduced to Ernie I mentioned to a friend that my date of the previous evening was a man named Never."

Tiger nemesis Tommy Byrne, although in trouble throughout, went all the way for the Yanks to post his 11th victory and fourth of the over the Tigers.

Byrne yielded seven hits and walked eight but was on easy street after the third Inning. Mize, who had collected 13 hits in IS trips before the game, failed to collect a safety, but DiMaggio helped take up the slack. DiMaggio banged out two hits and scored four runs.
