DETROIT TAKES SECOND PLACE Tigers Playing Fine Ball After Making Miserable Start ' New York. .July 3.— (U.P> --After S valiant battle which started in the cellar the Detroit Tigers today had climbed to second place In the American league anu were charging full speed ahead In pursuit of the New York Yankees. The gap between the two is three games. The Tigers have occupied every position In the standings except first place; but have spent most of their time In the second division. A fine spurt carried them to within striking distance of second place in mid-Jur.e but New York came along and handed the champions three straight defeats, tumbling them to fourth place. Refusing to stay licked, the Tigers started tall over again by taking the last game from the Yanks and winning 10 of their next 13 games. Last year's "big four" —Schoolboy Rowe, General Crowder, Eldon Auker, and Tommy Bridges — Ims stepped into winning stride, giving Detroit the most consistent pitching it has had all year. Rowe and Crowder scared a double victory over the Browns Sunday. Auker stopped the Indians Monday, and 1 Bridges scored his 11th triumph against the Infiians yesterday, 8-3. i The Yankees had to stage a fast f finish to nip the Philadelphia Ath- , le'i'.cs. 8-5. Going into the eighth < the A’s led, 5-3. but Lou Gehrig's loth hom»r with a mate on base , tied the score. Then George Sei- t kirk's single drove in what proved to be the winning run.
