Red Rolfe Is Downcast Over Tiger Failures New York, May 27—(UP)—Red Rolfe, who got that old championship habit with the New York Yankees, was downcast today over “the little weaknesses" that have shown up as his Detroit Tigers hit a six-game losing skid on their first eastern road trip of the season. “We lost six tough hall games,” he said. “In almost any one of them a hit here or an inning or two of tight relief pitching there would have won it for us. Three of them we lost in extra innings. Another we were ahead, 7 to 0, in Philadelphia and our pitching went haywire and we lost, 15 to 7.” Rolfe said he definitely would like to have second baseman George Stirnweiss of the Yankees, who has been forced out of a regular job by rookie Jerry Coleman. “Either of the Yankee first basemen, Dick Kryhoski or Jack Fillips would help us, too, but not for what we’d have to give up in exchange to get any one of those three fellows,” Rolfe said. He admitted there has been a lot of discussion involving a possible deal with the Yankees, whereby the Tigers could strengthen one or both of their big weak spots, first and second bases, but that Yankee manager Casey Stengel “couldn't do it—he couldn't take a chance.” Rolfe’s comment on the Tigers came after the game with the Yankees was rained out. The Red Sox came from behind with four runs in the eighth, two on a single by Ted Williams, to defeat the Browns, 7 to 5 as Mel Parnell was knocked out of the hox for the first time this year after pitching seven complete games. Tex Hughson, who relieved Parnell, was the victor. The Washington Senators took their fifth straight from Cleveland. 5 to 4, in a game ended after eight innings so the Tribe could catch a train. Mickey Haefner scored his fourth victory of the season for the Senators and hoisted Washington into fourth place. The St. Louis Cardinals downed the Pirates, 13 to 6, in a ridiculous affair which saw five pitchers parade to the mound in the first inning. Yesterday's Star — Ted Wilks of the Cardinals, who pitched fourhit shutout ball for eight relief innings after the six runs were scored against his club before he entered the game. Lunch was served by Kenneth, Janet, Pale and Leo Busick. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

Eisler, in the brown suit he has worn since he was hauled screaming from the Polish liner Batory at Southampton two weeks ago, did not even turn his head when the magistrate ordered him freed. He smiled slowly, and sat , easily in the dock with one arm thrown across the rail. This was Eisler's third appearance in Bow street court in his fight to escape extradition to the United States. At the outset of the session the prosecution admitted that Eisler was “not charged with perjury in those words” in the United States. Sir Valentine Holmes, engaged by the U. S. embassy to press the extradition case against Eisler, said he would have to prove that the offense on which Eisler was found guilty in America "would support a charge of perjury." Such proof would have been necessary before Britain could extradite him, Holmes admitted.

After the last six spots are filled for the big Monday race, fast driv-" ers will have a chance to bump the slowest of early qualifiers from the starting list. Rain, which made racing on the brick track too hazardous for qualifications last Saturday, forced adding today to the scheduled Saturday qualifying period.
