Detroit Tigers On
Way to Setting All
Time Low Record
(By the Associated Press)
The Detroit Tigers have an out
standing candidate for the Am
erican League’s rookie of the year,
one of the loop’s outstanding hit
ters and a reasonable chance of
finishing the season with the
worst record in modern baseball
history.
As spring training ended, Man
aged Freddie Hutchinson looked
over his Tigers, who had fin
ished 45 games behind the win
ning New York Yankees last year,
and declared:
“We’re not a last place outfit.”
In Hutchinson’s favor have been
Shortstop Harvey Kuenn, one of
the most promising first year men
in either league, and a heavy
hitting lineup paced by Bob Nie
man at .312. Yet today, with less
than a third of the season gone,
the Tigers have lost 34 out of 44
contests and are 21!4 games out
of first place.
If they continue to lose at this
■pace they would end the year
with 35 victories and 119 losses.
That’s two more losses than any
modern major league team ever
has suffered. It also would be the
worst percentage in history, .227.
the record lows currently are 117
losses and a percentage of .235,
both by the Philadelphia Athletics
of 1916.
Detroit lost twice yesterday to
the Athletics, 11-2 and 9-6, run
ning its present winless string to
12.
Meantime, the Yankess contin
ued their winning streak at the
expense of the Chicago White Six
with a 9-5 decision in 10 innings.
The Yanks now have taken seven
in a row, equalling their best 1952
winning spell.
