The many Detroit-area ethnic neighborhoods were a partial response to this situation. Immigrants faced an added problem: Americanization. Under severe attack from nativist morons, subject to the vicis- situdes of primitive capitalism, many of them had a need for some apolitical, non- religious institution which could serve as a partial base for establishing ties between themselves and their new home. Baseball had established itself as a thoroughly "American" institution well before the twentieth century began. The National League had been providing out- standing individuals and teams since 1876, men whose exploits were featured prominently in many popular magazines of the day. A baseball club was a natural rallying point for a community wrapped pener uninspiring sixth-place finish, Detroit drew more fans to its games on the road than did the Philadelphia Athletics, mere de- fending World Series champions. Watching the star score from second on an infield out can make up for a score of defeats. The Tigers have been fortunate since then. During the 1930s, when the City of Detroit went broke and had one of the worst unemployment problems in the nation, the Tigers put together the excellent Cochrane-Gehringer-Greenberg Goslin aggregation which won pennants in 1934 and 1935. These teams clearly did not take peoples' minds off their problems completely, but they did pro- vide some concrete hope that not every- thing had to be disastrous, and may have indirectly contributed to the confidence that enabled auto workers to stick to- gether and organize at the end of the decade. in rapid expansion and increased di- Much of the Detroit Tiger mystique is versity. simply tradition and continuity.

THE PISTONS began their be- lated drive in the third quarter with Lanier and Bing, George Trapp and Curtis Rowe show- ing the way while the Bulls went cold and failed to score in a four and a half minute span. Detroit pulled to within eight points at 71-63 before Van Lier hit two successive baskets in the final eight seconds of the third period to give Chicago a 75-63 lead.

Ace Tiger lefthander M i c k e y Lolich turned in his second straight strong effort in a losing c a u s e yesterday as the Detroit Tigers succumbed to the combined shutout pitching of three New York Yan- kee hurlers, 3-0, in Detroit's 1974 debut at Tiger Stadium. Lolich had only one bad in- ning, the first, and on a day when Tiger bats weren't exactly booming, it proved to be his un- doing.

THE CELTICS held the Braves' Bob McAdoo to 16 points, eight of them in the last quarter, and limited Ernie DiGregorio, who collected his fourth personal foul in the second period, to only 10 points.

The 31-year-old Dornhoefer, a nine-year N F L veteran who has been handicapped with injuries much of the season, opened the scoring with four seconds left in the first period. Dornhoefer took a spill and when no penalty was called, he flipped the puck to the right board behind the Flames' net. Terry Crisp dug it out and passed to Dornhoefer, who had regained his feet and skated in front of the Atlanta goal. He slapped it past goalie Bill Myre for a 1-0 Philadelphia lead. In the second period,Bladon, a second-year skater, scored on a power play from about seven feet out at 13:36. The Flames were a man dwn when Larry Romanchych was Qent to the penalty box for tripping at 12:46. The Flyers' Rick MacLeich moved out of a corner, faked past Atlanta's Noel Price and fed to Bladon who was charging across from the right side. He beat Myre to make it 2-0. The Flyers made it 3-0 at 8:59 of the third period when Kind- rachuk pushed the puck past Myre, who was sprawled on the ice after a scramble in front of the net. After Murray fired a 50 - footer past Flyers goalie Bernie Parent to make it 3-1 at 9:29, Kindrachuk scored his second goal on a solo from the left side, head-faking a Flames defenseman as he riaped the puck into the net.
