The 3,695 patrons applauded on occasion but only for the purpose of warming hands that were chilled by ihe unseasonable cold weather. In defeat the Tigers gave an astonishing demonstration of how to make base hits and not score runs. Detroit outhit the foe, 11 to 8, and put at least one runier on base in every inning. However, Cecil (Tex) Hughson, the ace of the Boston mound staff, was only slightly annoyed by having Tigers on the basepaths and scored his sixth victory of the year.

1 he Tigers left 14 runners stranded. TEX PASSES ISSUED Temporarily out of starting PART TWO To Whom May Concern By Dale Stafford THE JOB OF SELLING Detroit on the Tigers this morning is about as difficult as getting rid of a gross of nylon stockings at less than ceiling prices. Still, we want to remind you good day to go to Briggs Stadium and JUNE 4, 1944 It you and you that Sunday is to watch the Bengals play the Bargain about the Tigers these days. They their thrilling ninth-inning finishes, is genuine excitement over their L. Boston Red Sox in a double-header.

This is the occasion for the Tigers to make their contribution to war relief, for every cent taken in will go to this worthy cause. The program was started Aug. 23, when the St. Louis Browns faced Detroit in a twin bill. That day 50,758 fans came to the ball park, and $63,496 was turned over to war charity.

The game was given a terrific buildup and developed into a huge civic proposition. 44 Last year the Tigers were assigned a weekday date for their charity I'llMMillW Same, and they did their best to make it attractive by playing a twilight contest. As a routine affair, the program drew 13,967 fans and A5iociail Press Wirepnoto BOUNDING HOME, WITH GAYLE SMITH (7) UP, BEATS DERBY-WINNER PENSIVE BY HALF LENGTH IX BELMONT STAKES Conn McCreary kept Pensive well up the entire distance, but the horse just didn't have It for the "triple" Major League Standings 515,747 for relief.

Consequently Sunday's double-header figures to draw at least 85,000 patrons with any kind of a break in the weather.

Nothing would make us happier than to have 50,000 spectators turn out to see the hottest team in baseball playing for war relief. Compared to prices asked today for other forms of amusement, the SI. 50 admission charge for a grandstand baseball ticket isn't unreason-Able. Two games for $1.50 is a real bargain. And when every cent of the $1.50 goes to war relief, it's a super-bargain.

We'll be seeing you at Briggs Stadium! Here's Why Oct. 1 Is Too Late THE BEST ARGUMENT we have noticed for winding up the regular baseball season before the Oct. 1 closing date is the American League schedule for the coming week. From Monday through Saturday only 11 games will be played, which is less than half the possible total of 24 single contests. Originally only 10 games were listed, but a Detroit-Chicago White Sox game has been arranged for Thursday in the Windy City.

The Tigers were to have rested Monday and Tuesday and played a night game in Chicago Wednesday. Rests were listed Thursday and Friday, with a single game in Chicago Saturday. We believe that interest In baseball suffers from these long i lapses. We also feel that the game would be better off if the season closed not later than Sept. 15.

Under a schedule of this kind, the I World Series and the major football games wouldn't be going on at the same time. Baseball is in the headlines for eight of the 12 months, and it should be willing to yield a little to another sport, particularly when it doesn't suffer from the action. I Wise Moss Turns Tables on Canina with Triumph in $10,000 Motor City BY JOHX X. SABO Wise Moss. Ed Median's stretch-streaking' black mare, had her reveng-e Saturday before 14,430 fans at the Fair Grounds.

It was a revenue sweetened by the winner's share of the $10,000 Motor City Handicap. In one of the finest stretch drives of Detroit's 1944 racing season, Wise Moss came from far back to beat Abe Hirschberg's Canina by a 15-1 Outsider Thwarts Bid in Belmont Triple Crown Eludes Colt by Half a Length NEW YORK (UP) The bid of Calumet Farm's Pensive for racing's coveted triple crown was ruined Saturday by Bounding Home, an unimpressive little brown colt who finally lived up to his name by taking the $50,000 added Belmont Stakes with a whirlwind finish. The victory was worth $55,070 to the Ziegler Stable and boosted Bounding Home's earnings as a three-year-old to $60,945. Pensive BELMONT CHART ON PAGE 3 netted $10,000 for second and Bull Danny $5,000 for third. Fourth place was worth $2,500 to George D.

Widener's highly-regarded Who Goes There, winner of the Withers Mile. Crispin Oglebay's Boy Knight took the lead as they broke from the gate followed by Who Goes There, Bull Dandy, Free Lance, Bounding Home, Pensive and Plat ter, which was second in the Preakness, and highly-regarded as an entry with Who Goes There. TENSIVE Bros EARLY When they hit the half-mile mark Who Goes There, a front-runner, had taken a two-length lead, with Boy Knight second. Bounding Home third and Pensive, the 2-1 favorite, fourth. At the mile it was still Wno Goes There, now only by a length as Conn McCreary made an earlier bid than usual aboard Pensive and took over second half a length ahead of Bounding Home.

At the mile and a quarter McCreary had rushed the Calumet colt to the front by a length, and it looked as though Pensive would be the seventh horse in turf history to win the triple crown. HERE HE COMES! Rounding into the stretch, Bounding- Home started his bid. A wild rush carried him past Who Goes There and alongside the straining Pensive. There was no daylight between them as they battled those final yards, and at the wire it was Bounding Home by half a length, with the third-place Bull Dandy another eight lengths back. Four lengths farther away came Who Goes There in fourth place, with Platter fifth by three.

McCreary said that he thought he had rated Pensive perefectly and moaned: "Why do those things happen to me?" COLLEGE BASKBAI.L Frwmln Field 11. Pnrrine O. Dartmouth 6-3.

Manager Steve O'Neill, of the Tigers, called on Joe Orrell. Before the afternoon was over three other members of the Bengal reserve corps had worked and in the parlance of the race track all four Detroit moundsmen should have stayed in the barn. The Messrs. Orrell, Jake Mooty, Bob Gillespie and Elon Hogsett issued a total of 10 passes and no member of the quartet showed the auality of pitching out of trouDle. Eight of the 11 Boston runs were unearned due to Tiger errors by Second Baseman Albert Unser and First Sacker Rudy York.

'BUCIIEB PAIXS BENGALS' The hero of the Boston cast was a newcomer Third Baseman Jim Bucher who joined the club this week after being purchased from Toledo, of the American Association. He drove in six runs, four of the scores coming on a grand slam homer off Hogsett in the ninth inning. The Tigers scored their lone run in the first inning when Eddie Mayo doubled and York singled after two men were out. Boston scored three times in the second and sent Orrell to the showers. With one man out, Manager Joe Cronin singled.

Cronin inserted himself in the lineup at first base and got two hits to prove the saying "once a hitter, always a hitter." York booted Hal Wagner's grounder and then Orrell walked Hughson. Bucher and Pete Fox followed with singles and the Red Sox had all the runs Hughson required to win. FOX HITS IX CLIXCH Mooty took up the burden, starting the third, and delivered two scoreless innings. In the fifth Bob Johnson opened with a double and went around on a pair of outs. Two more Boston runs crossed the plate in the sixth.

Lamar New-some opened with a walk and was sacrificed to second by Hughson. Bucher grounded out, but Fox came through with a two-bagger to score Newsome. George Met-kovich's double counted Fox and brought Gillespie to Mooty's rescue. Bob retired Johnson on a fly ball. FIVE OX TWO HITS Gillespie pitched two scoreless innings and then gave way to a pinch hitter.

With Hogsett working in the ninth, Boston utilized two hits for the five runs. Johnson was hit by a pitched ball. Bobby Doerr then grounded to Higglns who threw to Unser at second. Al dropped the ball and both runners were safe. Cronin then scored Johnson with a single.

Wagner walked but Newsome flied out and Hughson fanned. This set the stage for Bucher's first homer, the ball landing in the lower right center field stands. The defeat dropped the Tigers two and a half games back of the pacesetting St. Louis Browns. BOSTON DETROIT AB AB 0 A ft 1 4 A 1 2 4 2 A I 4 A 4 A 4 II A A A A 1 A Burner.
