Ward High class pitching by General Al Crowder and Elden Auker enabled the Tigers to score a double victory over the Boston Red Sox at Navin Field Wednesday and increase their lead over the Yankees to seven games once more. While the Tigers were spilling Boston's beans all over the place, and sending the Red Sox back to the second division, the Yankees were dividing a double-header with the bustling Browns at St.

Louis. Both of yesterday's games at Navin Field were pitchers' battles that kept a crowd of 26,000 on edge until the final out By W. W. Edgar Mike Jacobs, head of the Twentieth Century Club in New York which holds the contract for the forthcoming Joe Louis-Max Baer bout, has definitely turned down Detroit's offer of $300,000 to have It's in the bag now that second game and nothing else matters, but if Charlie Gehringef had not hit the pill to the far corners of the lot for a three baser in the eighth, Iffy might be very angry at Elden Auker.

who starts them from the sub-cellar and sends them up to the red ball on the Penobscot Building when he's good was good. But he almost gave the Tigers a dose of Saltzgaver. Yc3, sir. after all the arguments for a week, pro and con ('most of them con), about whether Saltzgaver did wrong in not throwing home with the winning run on third, one would think that it would percolate into the minds of all ballplayers that when in doubt the ball should be thrown to the plate. The plate! The Plate! Gosh all hemlock, the plate! In the fourth, with Johnson and Cronin on third and second, as the result of a beautiful hit and run play and bunt, Melillo bounces to our Lad of the Rising Ball.

And he stands there Good Pitching FIRST GAME BOSTON AB II Til I'O A r. iMke. rt 1 with Johnson caught flatfooted was made. Crowder won the first, 4 to 1, by holding the Red Sox to four hits, while the Tigers were belting Fritz Os-' termueller for nine. Four of the Tigers' blows were two baggers.

Elden Auker, the Kansas submarine, torpedoed the Cronin craft in the second game. He scattered 11 Boston hits wisely and well to score a 3 to 2 triumph over Johnny Welch. Brilliant support helped Elden to register his twelfth victory of the season. The work of Crowder and Auker was like a dose of potent medicine to Manager Mickey Cochrane who has been ailing for the past three days.

This announcement was made late Wednesday afternoon by Fred Schader, spokesman for the Detroit group seeking the bout, after he had spoken over long distance telephone with Frank Colker, who made the offer to Jacobs earlier in the day. The Ford Motor Co. officially denied that it had anything to do with promoting a prize fight. The Ford company manufactures automobiles. "Jacobs told Colker." Schader said, "that so much pressuie had been brought to bear on him from Gov.

Lehman, of New York, and Mrs. William Randolph Hearst, nominal head of the Milk Fund, that he was forced to turn down our bid even though he figured he would be losing money by doing so.

According to Schader, Jacobs did not definitely name a site for the bout other than saying that he was forced to stage it in New York. Late despatches from there, however, state that the Ya lkee Stadium will be named at a conference Thursday noon.
