The shades of the old frame house on the corner of Cortland are still drawn in the evenings but, inside, Bernie Boland can listen to the Tigers on his portable radio again without any interruption or fear for his family. He thinks the Tigers can win it, too.

"That shortstop has made a big difference," he said in the front room of his home Tuesday morning. "He isn't much of a hitter but those balls don't go through the infield the way they used to do.

Salsinger picked Boland as one of the four pitchers on his second all-time Tiger team, along with Harry Coveleski, Tommy- Bridges and Elden Auker. Salsinger wrote: "Bernie Boland had a very swell curve ball. He did not use it as frequently as George Dauss and made more frequent use of the fastball than Dauss, but for two years he was reputed to have the best curveball in the league. Babe Ruth always said that Boland had one of the curve-balls ever pitched." That twinkle was back in Boland's eye. "I remember the day I struck The Babe out three times," he said.

"They talked about my curve but I got him on fast ones, all in on the hands. "You know, The Babe only got one hit off me and that was a double through our second baseman's legs Pep Young." Mrs. Boland, sitting quietly in the corner of the room, said: "You know Bernie beat the Yankees 12 straight times." "That's right," said Boland, "and the 10th time was a one-hitter. Tim Hendryx broke it up on me and the thing is he also beat me out of a no-hitter when I was Kith Nashville in the Southern League."
