is being played not only in the
English language but is also being
sung in Polish and Yiddish trans-
lation by some of Detroit's foreign
speaking Tiger fans. The record

Tiger pennant fever is rapidly
mounting.
Just one week ago, "Sockit to
'Em Tigers" was released by the
Detroit Sound Record Co. The song,
written by Leonard Moss and
produced by Ervin A. Steiner,
Jr., is rapidly taking hold in the
Detroit and out-state areas of
Michigan.
