Mack's motley collection of ball play-
ers sprung the trap holding the De-
troit Tigers out of last place in the
American League today and the Ben-
gals thudded into the cellar under a
6 to 5 trimming.
Working on an extra-base hit
scheme good for three home runs, a
triple and two doubles, the Philadel-
phia Athletics humiliated the Tigers
with a seventh straight licking-sec-
ond in a row in the current series.
Philadelphia's victory, ultimately
achieved on a ninth inning homer by
rookie third baseman Bill Nagel, per-
mitted the A's to exchange places in
the standings with Detroit and pro
longed the woeful run of Tiger mis-
fortune to one of the worst for any
team in this major league campaign.
Until Mack's gunners began find-
ing the range on the outfield pavilions
in the sixth, it looked like the Tigers
might escape the cellar plunge be-
cause of Charley Gehringer's three-
run homer in the third.

Weirmen Open
Home Season
At Ferry Field
Michigan Netters To Play
Rubber Match Against'
Western State College,
The Wolverine netmen will open
their home season this afternoon
when they meet the Western State
Teachers College tennis team at the
Ferry Field tennis courts at 3:30 p.m.
So far this year, the Weirmen have
played 10 matches, all away from
home, and at present have a record
of seven wins as against three de-
feats. Four of the 10 matches were
Conference matches, and the Wolver-
ines won two from Wisconsin and'
Ohio, and lost two to Chicago and
Northwestern.
Today's match is the rubber match
between the schools. Two years ago
the Teachers defeated the Wolver-
ines 7-2, while last year, the Weir-
men turned the tables with a 5-4
triumph.
Leading the invaders is Milton 'Ike'
Ruehl from Milwaukee. Ruehl has
not been beaten in the two years he
has played against the Wolverines,i
and is seeking his third consecutive
win. Either Capt. Don Percival or
sophomore Jim Tobin will face him.1
Last year, the Teachers won the
Michigan Intercollegiate tournament.
Other members besides Ruehl on the
present squad who were with the
'team when they took the title are
Willis Judd and Jack Sims.
On a southern trip during spring
vacation, the team was defeated by
Mississippi and Louisiana State
University, and won from Centenary.
Coach Leroy Weir has not decided
who will play the singles matches
against the Bronco today. The
doubles : combinations however, will
be the same as played against North-
western and Ohio State last weekend.
In first spot will be Capt. Don Per-
cival and Ed Morris, in second, Jim'
Tobin and John Kidwell, and third
Sam Durst and Steve Woolsey.
Smith Stops Yankees
CHICAGO, May 8. --W)- Edgar
Smith, purchased only last week from
the Athletics, pitched and batted the
WhiteSox to a 5 to 3 victory over the
New York Yankees today, thereby
dropping the world champions into
second place in the American League
behind the Boston Red Sox.
