3fl Friday. June 23, 1950 DETROIT FREE PRESS Kuzava Checks Tigers, 5-2; Senators Sweep Series WHAT'S MONEY? BILLY LIKES BENGALS Bengals Cling to As of TODAY Tigers Alone Make Byrne Asset to Yanks By LYALL SMITH Big Bonus to Sign with Tigers THOMAS J. BYRNE now is pitching his third season as a full-time wearer of the New York Yankee pin-striped uniform. Thus far, it is his most lucrative year. He leads all hurlers in the majors with a mark of eight victories against one defeat.

But even if he could retire not a single batter on the clubs in Boston, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Washington, St. Louis and Chicago he still would be kept by the Yankees. For Tommy Byrne murders the Tigers! He is a lanky lefthander with a hex for the Detroiters. His major league record up to date stands at 33 triumphs against 15 defeats. Exactly one-third of those victories 11 have come at the expense of the Tigers.

They have left-hander chose the Tigers after listening to offers from all 16 major league clubs plus Indianapolis, of the American Association, and Oakland, of the Pacific Coast League. He was the most-sought-after youngster of the year after racking up a record of 49 victories and only eight defeats in four years of high school and American Legion ball. On April 29, he struck out all 27 batters of the Hartford, Wis. High School team who faced him in a Little Ten Confer turned down one bonus of another of $30,000 and five more ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 each to sign a Detroit Tiger contract for $6,000. Billy said so himself in a telephone interview Thursday.

"I don't want to be a bonus player," he said. "I know I couldn't expect to be ready for the big league. It wasn't easy to turn down the big money, but I'm glad I did it and I think I always will be if I can pitch for the Tigers some day." THE EIGHTEEN-YEAR-OLD ence game. Last year he struck out 25 batters on the Menasha Legion team and came back 10 days later to strike out 25 more in a game with the Kaukauna Legion team. FOLLOWING graduation from high school two weeks ago, he made a tour of baseball clubs with his father and his high school coach.

"It was hard to make up my mind," Billy admitted, "but the Tigers looked the best to me." His father is a hod carrier for a construction company in Five Indian Homers Stop Yanks Again, 6-2 beaten him just twice. As the Bronx Bombers head for Briggs Stadium and the Friday night battle which opens the biggest baseball week-end here in many a year, they hold a 4-2 victory bulge over the Bengals, only team in the league with a won-lost advantage. Mr. Byrne has southpawed his way to three of those four victories in exactly the same number of appearances. He has done it with a flair of dramatics brought about by a total of 136,822 cash customers who turned out to watch him flex his muscled hoo-doo over Tiger batters.

He was the only pitcher in the league to rack up five decisions over Detroit last year. Any consolation the Tigers can derive from such a fact is that they managed to beat him twice, the only two times they have sent him reeling in a losing cause. Tommy Dug Up in Desperation STRANGELY ENOUGH, it was Manager Bucky Harris who first discovered that Tommy carried a whip in his left arm that made the Tigers jump meekly the same Mr. Harris who finally has departed with his Washington Senators after making life miserable for the Tigers in the past three days. It was the morning of June 27, 1948, and Bucky was bossman of the Yankees.

Byrne was hidden away in the bullpen trying to master the wildness which had hampered most of his pitching efforts. Harris was hard pressed for a starter. The Tigers already had defeated Red Embree the day before and Harris had a big series coming up with the Red Sox. He wanted to save Yic Raschi and Ed Lopat for Boston so he made a decision. "I'm going to start Byrne against the Tigers today," he announced.

He did, and Tommy pitched a two-hit shutout to win by a 7-0 score over Diz Trout. He became a starter after that although he lost his next two games. But then he met the Tigers twice more and beat them both times to stand 3-0 over them for the year. Mates9 Big Bats Help Out HELPING HIS EFFORTS against Detroit is the fact that when he usually pitches against the Tigers, it is an occasion for his mates to collect him runs which must be totaled in double figures. First time he faced them last year, he had a no-hitter until Johnny Lipon singled to left in the seventh inning.

The Yankees won, 12-0. Last June 23 it was a similar story. Once again Tommy's mastery over Tiger hitters was so complete that he again had a no-hitter going into the eighth inning with just six more men to retire for a masterpiece effort. And once again it was Lipon who poled a shoulder high pitch into left field. Johnny's hit earlier in the season had been followed by two more.

This one was not. It was the only blow that Byrne yielded as he hung up a 10-0 victory as New York collected 17 blows. Other scores by which he has beaten the Tigers: 12-4, 13-5. Thus far this season it has been closer if you can throw out an 11-4 game. The other two were 6-3 and 6-4.

What date did I say Byrne pitched his one-hitter against the Tigers last year? June 23? And what's the date Friday night as he readies to face them again? Hmmm! Big Luke, Hegan Hit Pair Each Ostrowski Rapped; Feller Is Winner CLEVELAND VP) The Cleveland Indians crashed five home runs off Lefty Joe Ostrowski to defeat the New York Yankees, 6 to 2, in the rubber game of their three-game series. All but one of the runs made by both teams were driven in by home runs. None of the seven homers came with a man on base. JIM HEGAN and Luke Easter each socked two for the winners. Ray Boone got the other.

Joe DiMaggio and Johnny Mize belted the round trippers for the two New York runs off Bob Feller. Ostrowski allowed nine hits in absorbing his first whipping since being traded to the Yankees by St. Louis a week ago. Feller struck out six and held the Yankees to seven blows as he gained his seventh victory.

UIFE and played on the current western gether they walked through the trip station toward their automobile Loop Lead Nats' Bats Ring; Detroit Muffled BY LYALL SMITH Free Press Sports Editor First it was a pair of imported Cubans who tied Tiger hitters into knots for Washington. And then it was Robert Kuzava of i nearby Wyandotte. He baffled them on six hits, ione a two-run homer by Jerry I Priddy in the first inning, to give the resurgent Senators a 5-2 victory and a sweep of the three-game series which was concluded before 9,310 fans. Despite their triple-setback, first time this year they have encountered such continued tough going, the Tigers still clung to their one-game lead atop the American League standings.

Just as it was Wednesday, New York lost to Cleveland and when the Yanks arrive for their big week-end series they still will be in second place. KUZAVA RODE to victory on a 13-hit assault on Starter Diz Trout, Hal White and Paul Cal vert. Art Houtteman was called in to retire the final Washington hitter. Thus, for the third straight game, Tiger bats were muffled while the Senators hit lustily. Conrado Marrero held Detroit to four hits while his mates made 12, Sandalio Consuegra held the Tigers to five while the Nats made 14 and then Kuzava on a six-hitter to 13 for the winners.

Trout couldn't last the second frame as the Senators scored four times in the early innings, then added their final one off Calvert in the ninth. Three batters collected all of Detroit's hits. Priddy had a homer and single while Johnny Lipon and Johnny Groth each had two one-baggers. THE SENATORS jumped away to another fast start as they cuffed Trout for three runs in the first frame, then added a fourth before he was replaced by White in the second. Eddie Yost led off with a single, took second on an infield out and scored on Irv Noren's drive to right.

With two out, Sam Mele lined a double to right center for the second run and came around later on Ed Stewart's first single. The Tigers cut into that margin in their half, when Lipon opened with a hit off Kuzava and coasted home ahead of Priddy's home run high into the upper deck in left. George Kell followed with a walk but Kuzava bore down and left his margin at a 3-2 count. A walk to Yost in the second, after the first two batters had been retired, resulted in the fourth Washington run when Merrill Combs and Noren followed with singles to drive Trout to cover. The Tigers tried again in their half when Johnny Groth led off with a single and Aaron Robinson walked, with one away, but a doubleplay ball by White took care of that and it was 4-2.

KUZAVA then hurled perfect ball for the next three innings before the Tigers had him hanging on the ropes in their sixth. Again it was the one-two punch of Lipon and Priddy. They led off with singles to put Tigers on third and first with no one out. But the power-boys collapsed. as Kell fouled to Vernon, Vic Wertz struck out and Hoot Evers tapped feebly back to the mound.

Groth gave the Tigers another "life" in the Tiger seventh when he led off with his second single tand the sixth Detroit blow off Kuzava. But the farthest he could advance was to second base and Bob retired the next three bat- ters, including Pat Mullin, who batted for White. CALVERT CAME on the scene in the eighth to succeed Hal, who had yielded four hits and no runs in his five inning workout. It was one of his best relief jobs I of the season. Paul was tagged for a wasted single in his first inning and the I Tigers then had another chance.

Priddy reached second with one out when his bouncer towards third got away from Yost. But Kuzava got the next two and still had his lead. Washington utilized Combs' second hit, a walk and Mickey Vernon's one-bagger to make it 5-2 in the top of the ninth before Houtteman retired the side. Kuzava breezed through the last three Tigers and it was with relief that the Bengals said so-long to the pesky gents from Washington.
