Tigers Humble Red Sox; Giants 4-2
Braves Down
Slim Jim Bunning cracked four hits—including a home run and a triple—in leading Detroit Tigers on a 16-hit rampage and a 142 romp over Boston’s kidding Red Sox Monday. “¢
Bunning, a lanky righthander, also sgread out seven Boston hits in collecting his fourth victory of the season against three losses.
His perfect 4-ror-4 Nitting per- formance and five runs baited in paced Detroit's lusty attack that included five doubles, a triple and four home runs. :
‘The other Detroit homers were smashed by Charley Maxwell, Al Kaline and Frank Bolling. Max- well’s came with two on, while the bases were empty for Kaline’s and Bolling’s blasts.
The loss was the sixth in seven|
starts for Boston. Bunning entered the game hit-

WE UNDERSTAND there is a movement afoot to bring

junior baseball teams several Sunday afternoons. If this comes
to pass, softball and baseball would be competing against each
other for patrons and we see no need of that. Both would be the
losers in such an event. We also think that every

Several writers across the country expressed pleasure

Here’s Daley talking:
“As delightful a bit of news as base-
ball has had in ages is \the signing of James. Joseph Dykes to a
Detroit managerial contract.
“The trend of recent years has been to vromote dull, stodgy “eareer men” from lower echelons in the farm systems to the game’s top jobs. There are so few colorful characters ‘eft and the ranks were depleted sadly last year when Birdie Tebbetts,
