The chum ton you said it. 1 Yankees make their farewell appearance of 1933 Briggs- Stadium today and it may be reported without fear of contradiction that the Tiirers will not be among the mourners when the New Yorkers pnck up their luggage and go iheir victorious way. The Tigers have done better than number of other American League clubs in combat with the New Yorkers but there have been times when the was awful to behold. One of occasions was yesterday when the McCarthymen clinched the three game series with an IS to 2 rout as Signor Joe UiVaggio belted two homers, batted in eight runs and did other thln-sg to annoy the Tigers. The game brought memories af an earlier affair in which New York won 22 to 2.

Newsom On Today Today Louis Newsom, Detr it's loquacious right-hander, will attempt to send thc Yankees away with a licking. Big Louie will be trying for his fifteenth win of the year. He will be opposed by the sensational rookie At ev Donald, has won 13 games and lost b'H two. One of Donald's defeats was inflicted by Detroit rnd on another occasion the B'ngdls chased the youngster from the although he was not charged with the defeat. While the Yankees were combing three Tiger hurlers for 18 blows yesterday, the Tigers were heiny limited to four measly hits by Marius Russo, rookie southpaw.

Tommy Bridges sought his seventeenth victory for Detroit but was relieved with none out in thc third after the Yankees had accu mulated seven runs off his dcliverv. Alton Benton and George Coffmari followed the veteran Bridges en the hill and failed to mystify anybody wearing a New York uniform. Besides not hitting or pitching, the Tigers were also weak a.icld. committee four misplays. Two of thc boots were by shortstop Billy Rogel! who was replaced in the laic stages of the contest by Crouchcr.

Detroit did succeed in making four double or the game might have lasted until sundown. With Bases Loaded New York didn't waste a minute sewing up the contest. In the opening inning Bridges walked Frank Crosetti and then tossed a home run ball to big Charley Keher Di.Maggio got his first homer of th- day with the bases full in thc third and the blow finished Bridges, Benton coming on the scene. From this print New York scored at least once in every inning but the fifth and climaxed thc day's efforts with a four run outburst hi the ninth off Coffman. a guy who used to trouble them on some occasions.

Keller, DiMaggio and Ellsworth Dahlgren led New York with three blows each. No Dctroiter got more than a single. After New York leaves, Boston's Red Sox come to town for a three Same stand.

Since 1934. the pros have won one, the all-stars two. The other two ended in ties. r.nyden Talk Notre Dame's Elmer head coach of the all-stars, isn't making a flat prediction of victory, but he obviously feels pretty about their chances of taking a third decision from the pros. "Our are in fine condition and have marvelous spirit," he said, in reviewing his two weeks of work with the squad.

"The fans in their poll certainly picked a swell starting lineup and I really think this is one of the aggregations of players ever assembled for the same. "All nf the boys are taking the game seriously hut we know who we arc up agrainst. The Giants probably are the strongest rival the all-stars have been called upon to play. At least. I think the Giants will be in better shape for this Same than any of the pro elevens in the past because the Giants are a VOUPK team and get into condition more quickiv." Kxpect The all-stars' starting players who polled the highest votes be composed of Earl Brown, Notre Dame and Bowtlen Wyatt.
