TIGER HURLING IS MAIN WORRY OF DEL BAKER Detroit Loses To White Sox; Chicago Cubs Gain On Leaders J Chicago, Aug. 1. — <U.R> — The honeymoon is over for David Delmar Baker, newly installed manager of the Detroit Tigers. After three days of winning baseball to sweeten his new task. Baker finally had to sweat in the coaching box in typical managerial frenzy as his Tigers fell apart before the sixth place Chicago White i Sox in an 8 to 7 defeat yesterday. [ From now on it’s pitching of the ! toughest kind for Baker. A new broom sweeps clean, club owners say. but at Detroit it's just an old broom with an ew sweeper. Baker has the same field problems as the man he replaced—Gordon , (Mickey) Cochrane. The Tigers are in fifth place, firmly enough entrenched there, with little danger of sinking low- j er. but 12 full games behind the . New York Yankees who look more ’ like American league champions. every day. Detroit's pitching can’t come anywhere near matching the power supplied by big Hank Greenberg, Rudy York and Charley Gehringer. Four pitchers—Eldon Auker, Harry Eisenstat, George Coffman, and Verne Kennedy—tried to halt the weak-hitting White Sox and gave up 15 hits. Kennedy, who did a neat fadeout after winning his first 10 starts, had more control than usual and may be on the road back. The Yankees belted out a 10iuning 12 to 11 victory over Washington in typical Yankee style, five runs in the second inning, four more in the sixth and oen each

Today McLemore stood in need of a prose transfusion. Before he can properly write the next fight he must go to a hospital and have a Webster’s unabridged dictionary, and a Roger's Thesaurus, replenish his veins with high-sounding words. McLemore is also suffering from an acute attack of whatever It is you get from sitting in the Polo Grounds at night when it is rainj ing, raining hard. A firm believer in the weatherman, McLemore went to the Polo Grounds last night clad in nothing but a seersucker suit.
