To make the anguish of the onlookers all the more Well-wishers crowded around Schoolboy Rowe in the Tiger clubhouse after Fridays game with the Indians and gave him approving pats on the back.

The Old Time Baseball Players Association staged their parade to the ball park before the game, and 16 members of the association, vho actually had played with the Tigers in other years, helped in the flag-raising ceremonies.

Checked ior six innings by Luke Hamlin, the Giants scored the tying run when Hank Leiber's double scored Mel Ott in the seventh.

Danning's double and Moore's single combined with Bar-tell's decisive blow to account for two more runs in the eighth. Harry Gumbert, making his first start, went the route for the Giants, but needed all his resources to escape disaster. Dolph Camilli drove in the first Dodger run with a double in the fourth, and produced the second with a towering blow over the right-field screen for his second homer of the season. Lavagetto, cleanup batter with a .688 average, was forced out of the Dodger line-up when he pulled a muscle in, his right leg.

Sometimes people ask me why I am a sports writer, and their very tone tells me that they think my business is an unimportant one and doesn't matter much in the world scheme of things. Sometimes I almost feel they're right and then again along comes an afternoon like yesterday afternoon, when the breeze is soft and the sun is warm, and the Polo Grounds is all bright and green, and Raymond Brinkerhoff experiences the thrill that comes once in a lifetime. I don't know of any business that lets a man look on human emotions more than sportswriting does.

Yesterday was the biggest day in Raymond's life. I saw him go through it.

And Denny waved two fistsfuls of roses, lillies of the valley and be scared, nervous, shaky and no good. Raymond fooled him.

Loose as Hubbell, Raymond whipped 'em across the plate. The early customers in the Polo Grounds who were watching, didn't bother him a bit. A fast ball. A change of pace. A curve.

Raymond threw them all up there. Before he was through, Stengel was watching him closely. So were Turner and Fette, Boston's star pitchers. And on the other side of the field, the old master Hubbell stopped his warming up to take a look, as did Terry a Gus Mancuso and others who know a natural pitching motion when they see one. Raymond came back to the dugout.

Casey asked him if he could go to Boston with the Bees.
