New York Yankees faced the Detroit Tigers at Naven Field in Detroit for a Thursday afternoon game on September 20, 1934.
The Tigers were managed by Mickey Cochran and led the American League over Joe McCarthy's Yankees by 6.5 games with 10 games left in the season.
This audio recording is the oldest full-game baseball radio broadcast that still exists.
It was broadcast by WWJ Radio in Detroit by announcer Ty Tyson.
Good afternoon everybody, this is Ty Tyson speaking to you for WWJ The Detroit News.
Now we're out here at the side of the Yankees for the season 1934.
Just one more bite, one more swallow, and that's four. Of course Yankee dinner will be safely tucked away under the fiber belt.
You know we sort of missed out on the salad course yesterday but no matter who wins or loses,
the White Star Defining Company and its allied mobile gas and mobile oil dealers are bringing you the game.
And that's something to remember. You know when a gauge on your car shows you need gasoline,
just stop at the sign of the flying red horse and say thanks to the mobile gas man for the Tiger broadcast.
Make White Star stations your headquarters for every moving need, expert lubrication, tires, batteries, polishes, waxes,
and that famous insect killer bugaboo. Everybody's for the Tigers now, everybody's backing them to win.
But it's easy to pick a winner at this stage of the game, but it took White Star to pick them last spring
when they backed their judgment with a good round sum to bring you these great baseball broadcasts.
White Star knew a leader when they saw one. Their leader themselves, here in Michigan,
and it takes a leader to pick a leader. Right here in Wayne County, the home of the Tigers,
more motorists use mobile gas than any other gasoline.
White Star proved its leadership by being the first to bring a 70 octane gasoline to you at no extra price
by bringing you the symphony concerts last winter, by bringing you these Tiger broadcasts,
and by bringing you mobile gas with climatic control and mobile oil rules, fastest selling motor oil.
So follow the leader, make mobile gas and mobile oil a motoring habit.
It's a great chance to tell the mobile gas man that you're enjoying these Tiger baseball broadcasts
at the sign of the flying red horse. Now we're going to have a baseball broadcast in a few moments.
Just a moment ago, a crowd of Fowlerville fans, home of Charlie Geringer,
presented Charlie with a huge floral horseshoe, also a basket of flowers for manager Cochrane.
They also brought one down for your announcer, which he appreciates very greatly.
And I know that your announcer's wife will appreciate it when he gets at home this evening.
After writing that terrible piece he has to write each day for the paper.
The teams will line up as follows.
Fox for Detroit, Fox right field, White center field, Geringer second base, Greenberg first base,
Olin third base, Goslin left field, Rogel shortstop, Hayworth catcher, Marbury pitcher,
and for the Yankees, Croccetti shortstop, Rolf third base, Selkirk left field,
Gering first base, Lafayre second base, Chapman center field, Bird right field,
Jorgens catcher, and Broca pitcher, Johnny Broca and Arnst Jorgens.
For New York, Red Marbury and Ray Hayworth for the Tigers.
To go, the local dealers of the Wall Everchart Tenon Central Company, presented Mickey Cochrane
and myself with a desk set and Tenon Central sets to Charlie Geringer, Hank Greenberg,
Bruce Goslin and schoolboy Rowe.
There ought to be a lot of writing done this winter.
Tigers are going out to their position in the field, the game will be on very shortly.
Yesterday neither Gary nor Geringer improved their batting average,
and Hany Manouche with Washington picked up about three hits,
and is now standing second in this American League race for the batting championship.
Will Gary get still out front with a percentage of 357?
Manouche has 356 and Gering a 353.
The early part of the week was a chance for the Tigers to clinch the penance
before they left town tonight for St. Louis.
However, that chance was erased yesterday when the Yankees came through and won that third game of the series,
easily beating the Tigers after being shut out in the first two games,
and now today's game will mean whether or not the Tigers take the series or merely split even.
The Tigers have to win four more ball games before the curtain runs down to win the penance.
Marbury is ready. The first pitch to Crosetti, a pass ball in the outside corner, a called strike.
Brett is making his first start in quite a long time.
He's been in the game recently as Justin DeLisle holds.
In a matter of games with the Yankees, Marbury has won two and lost none.
Broke up pitching for the Yankees, one-one, and lost one to Detroit.
The next pitch to Marbury was a bit outside, two or three feet, and this was a ball, of course, and the count is one-one.
The first pitch to Crosetti is up for the next pitch. Here comes a smash for a single in the left field,
beyond the reach of Roegel, and Crosetti, first man up, single to left.
This brings up red roll, left hand batter.
The temporary bleachers out beyond the wall in Cherry Street are rising quite rapidly.
This is a handy place to play tag now. You can fall about 30 feet off of those.
I certainly liked for a place like that when I was a kid. I couldn't even get up there now.
Here's the first pitch to Broke, right through the middle of called strike.
Crosetti on first, nobody out first inning.
Wind is blowing directly towards center field. It's an ideal baseball day.
Nice crowd in the stands and nobody out on the grass.
The fans are ideal for a good game.
Ball, low, outside to the left hand batter. Count is now one-one.
Red roll through to batter. Throw, Crosetti stopping at third.
A high-bounder over Hank Greenberg's head down the right field line for a double.
Sending Crosetti to third and screw Boyle to warm up in the bullpen.
Runners on third and second, nobody out. First inning, and Selkirk is up.
Selkirk went hitless in the first two games.
Row striking them out three times in the second game.
And the crowd is getting on one strike out in the first game, but yesterday's Dave came,
George Rabbit came through with a very timely double.
The left hand batter won a lot of games for the Yankees on this Western trip before hitting Detroit.
Ball, one, outside.
Luke Hamlin also going out to warm up.
Rudy York is warming up the schoolboy, and Nick Gibbs will warm up Hamlin.
The next pitch to Selkirk swinging hard on a low ball, strike one, one-one.
George meant to hit that to the far corners.
In batting practice today, the babe hit a couple over the fence and went out on the bleachers.
Bill's suffering from a Charlie horse, and for that reason is staying out of the game.
The next pitch, low on the outside corner for a called strike, and the count is two strikes and one ball.
Two and one. Runners on second and third, nobody out.
A hit means two runs, a long fly means one run.
Screw Boyle's quick warming up and Hamlin is out there all by himself.
I think the schoolboy went out of his own position and probably Mike called him back in.
Bowled back against the wire, the count is two strikes, one ball.
Two and one. Two and one, nobody out. Marbury rubbing the sign off of a nice new ball.
Steps up on the rubber, gets the sign from Ray Hayworth.
Takes his time about getting started. The wind-up starts plenty of wind-up.
Count is two balls and one, two strikes and one ball, and now it's two balls, high and inside.
Two and two.
Fred is massaging that old apple. Doesn't want to let self-curture it if he can help it.
He's in a tough spot. Third and second occupied, none out. There's the wind-up. Here's the pitch.
Self-curt's fouled into the dirt.
Just tick that one and hit it right down into the dirt.
Still two strikes and two balls.
Fred getting the sign from Hayworth.
Put's around over towards third base, see where Crosetti is. He's standing about ten feet off the bag.
Here's the pitch. A single over second base scoring Crosetti.
And here comes the throw being cut off, however, as Rolf scores behind Crosetti.
Self-curt remaining on first for the right of the bag so that it does not interfere with his vision in following the flight of the pitch.
Marbury digging a hole there at the pitchers' rubber to get a better foothold.
First three men up a hit, a single, a double and a single. And here's Gary, gets tough, gets to be up there.
Ball one, a little low.
Fred rocks back and forth out there, and now he's ready. Here's the pitch.
A little high, outside. Ball two, two and nothing.
And then continues to warm up.
Count is two and nothing on Gary, and the next pitch, ball three, outside. Three and nothing.
Three and nothing on Larrippon-Lew.
And the next pitch, through the middle for a call strike, and the count is three and one.
Nobody out, self-curt going first. George taking a lead, Gary pops.
It's a fly back a third base, Owen is backing up on the grass. He has it. One out.
Tony Lozari is up.
Tony and Johnny Murphy were the big guns yesterday.
Tony hit a very timely double, the bases loaded when Gary had been walked, take a chance on Lozari hitting into a double play.
He also made a couple of nice stops around second base. Right hand batter.
And the pitch is high on the inside. Ball one.
One out, self-curt taking a bit of a lead off first. Lozari topped the pitch fouling at a long third base line.
Hardy Fletcher coaching a third, picking that up, passing it back to Marbury.
The count is two of one and one.
High inside pitch and then a foul strike.
Marbury scuffing the dirt in front of the rubber to get a better footing when he comes down with his stride.
He hasn't been lighting right evidently.
Three consecutive hits inside. Ball two. Count is two balls, one strike.
Two and one. Again Fred sets himself, nods his head. Say hey, worse.
Here's the pitch. Strike two, swinging.
And the count is two and two on Lozari. One man out, self-curt on first.
He ain't he runs in. First inning.
All right, here's the pitch. Foul. On the nutting.
Setting himself for the pitch, here it comes. Inside and high. Now the count is three and two on Lozari.
Self-curt on first. One man out. Two runs in.
Fred looks over his shoulder to self-curt. He's edging off first. Now the count is three and two.
First, George is back safely. Hooking the bag with his left foot.
Falling away out into right field. All right, Marbury has the ball again. Starts his wind up.
Again glances over his shoulder. Three and two is the count.
Another throw and self-curt back again safely.
Here's the fire, Willie McGowan down there. First dashing right in on the play each time.
He's standing about 20 feet behind the bag. And he comes tearing in with a throw to be right on top of the play.
Another fast throw and self-curt back safely without sliding. Flapping Willie on the count.
As he went away from there.
Fred is giving Lozari a long chance standing up here with the count three and two.
Here's the pitch. Self-curt breaking on it. Lozari bounded his flow into on.
And he's out of first. Self-curt trying to third is also out.
So that's ended the first inning. On made a smart play on that low-bounding ball.
Which came through in very slowers. It was coming toward Rogel.
He was holding the man out. So Olin cut over in front of him.
Spared the ball in his blood's hand. As he was running at top speed toward the first base.
Through fast through Greenberg to get Lozari. Self-curt thinking it on could not get back to the bag
after making this play from way over near shortstop. Rounded second and set sail for third.
Olin back-cuttled very fast. Greenberg hesitated long enough to give Olin a chance to get back.
With the hard throw across the bang. Olin putting the ball on the self-curt's leg as it slipped for the bag.
Ending the inning. It was really a flashing play.
No. No.
Two runs, three hits. And no errors.
Now we go into the tiger half of the first inning.
Yankee scored two runs on three hits. Chrisetti opened with a single.
Ross doubled.
Self-curt singled.
Gary popped Olin. And Lozari hit into a double play.
First man up is Fox. Right hand batter. Johnny Broca's right hand pitcher.
One of the Yankees who has one run and watched one of the Tigers is out there in the first pitch of ball inside.
Two and one.
And the next pitch, Fox hit a single off-roast fan.
With a hard smash to the left of Ross.
Bounded off his glove for a single and a short left.
Can they hit the knee?
Huh?
What's some time to do?
Joe Joe White is up. Left hand batter. The first pitch low inside. Wide sweeping curve.
Fox on first. Yankee's leading two to nothing.
Broca sets himself for the next pitch. Pitching from the shoulder with a runner on. Strike. Winging over that one.
Ball breaking low under the bat. And the count is one and one.
Again, Johnny tells the rubber, here's the pitch. White, bounded. A slow one, two, third.
Ross passing to Rosario to force Fox on second. White is safe on a field of choice.
Gearing her up.
Gearing her, Manouche. And Gearing having a nice race for this batting championship. Gearing her in third place. Manouche in second. And Gearing in first.
Only four points separate the third man from the first. First pitch with a ball.
And the time goes up for the next one. Bowel strike. Charlie gets a hit today. The first hit he gets today, if he gets any, will be his 200th hit.
Paul Weiner was the first major leader to get break 200. He broke it yesterday.
Gearing her pop. One in the short center field. And it's going to be grabbed by Frankie Crosetti. Backing up there.
Greenberg is up. Greenberg was out yesterday. Observing beyond Kipper. And I believe, undoubtedly, Hank's big bat was missed out here yesterday.
Strike called on Henry. Quick breaking curve through the middle.
Broca looks over to see that White doesn't have too much of a lead off first. Ball. Little high. It was over there, but a little high. One and one.
Two men off. White on first. Score two-nothing in favor of the Yankees. First inning.
Johnny sets himself for the next pitch. White going with him. Ball two. White scores second. And is going on to third.
When going through the ball into center field, he's just passed Sattman. White rounded third.
Fell down on his way to the plate. Got up again and then walked slowly into the plate. Scoring the run.
Pass second. And charged Sattman with another error and letting the ball get past him in center field.
White scoring on the stolen base and double error.
The next pitch to Greenberg. Strike and the count is now two and two on Hank.
Twenty-three. Twenty-third stolen base for White. Greenberg just stuck out on a low curve. One run. One hit. Two errors.
One.
Fox first up. Singled off. Wolves to the other third. White scores. Fox at second. Wolves to the other third.
Geringer pops to Crocetti at short. White stole second. Continued on to third when Jorgens' throw was bad and went into center field.
And then when Chapman fumbled the throw out in center field, White continued on home. One run. One hit. Two errors.
Gores two run in favor of the Yankees. As the second inning opens, Benny Chapman is the batter. Right hand hitter.
Marbury pitching for the Tigers. First three men up in the opening innings. Hit him.
Single or double, then a single. Counting for two runs. Ball inside and high.
Johnny Broca is pitching for the Yankees. Marbury's arm goes up for the next one.
Chapman's fly to short right field. Fox is coming fast, but he can't get up to that one. And it's a single in the right.
Chapman stopping there at first. And it brings up Sammy Byrd, another right hand batter.
Followed by Jorgens with Broca on deck.
Marbury digging away there for a foothold, Hamlin and York again going out to the bullpen.
They had come in at the end of the first inning. High inside, knocking Byrd down away from the plate. Ball run.
Chapman taking a bit of a lead. Inside and low ball two. Two and nothing on Byrd.
Nobody out. Chapman on first, second innings. Marbury sets himself for the next pitch. Byrd.
Fly to short center field. White is coming over toward left forward and has it. One out.
Jorgens, another right hand batter up. Chapman still on first. One man down in the second. And the Yankees leading two to one.
Byrd sets himself for the next pitch. Here it comes. Outside a curved ball.
Happy tried to delay the field on that one. He waited until after the ball was into Hayworth.
And Ray was getting ready to toss it back to Marbury, then broke for second.
Hayworth however failed to be fooled as I believe he was baffled in the New York series in New York.
And heaved the perfect throw to Gehringer, nailing Chapman for the second out.
Two outs. The count is one and one on Jorgens. Strike two called.
That pitch was on the inside corner to a right hand batter. Now there's two strikes, one ball.
The arm goes up for the next one. Jorgens raised a high fly to the infield. Hayworth has it halfway up toward first.
Ending the innings. No runs. One hit. No errors. Chapman first up.
Drop the single and short right field. Too far in for Fox or and too far out for Gehringer or Greenberg.
Byrd, fly to white short left center. Chapman without feeling. Hayworth to Gehringer.
And Jorgens ended the innings. Popping to Hayworth. Midway between first and the play.
Floors two-one. Favor the Yankees. One and a half innings played. All in Gosland and Roguela the first three up for the Tigers in the second.
This is W.W.J. The Detroit News. The game coming to you through the courtesy of the White Star Refinement Company.
White Star markets mobile oil and mobile gas with climatic control.
Wildbroker is starting a couple here to Jack Stahlsgeber warming him up till Jorgens gets his stuff on.
Want to call your attention to the fact that there will be a double header here at Naven Field this coming Sunday
between the scricky civilly teams for the first game and the winner of that game will play W.I.G.E. Gens Little Bangles.
These players are property of the Tigers who have been farmed out in minor league clubs.
All in his up there. Broker has picked two balls to him. Both inside. Two or nothing.
And the next one through the middle for a call. Strike. Beltie. Two balls. One strike.
The arm goes up for the next one. All in smacking a boundary to shortstop. Crosse has it.
There's the throw and he's out at first. Crosse to Gehrig. Short to first. All in retired. One out. Mimmo in Gosland up.
Goose is going through his usual ritual of scraping out the inside front corner of the left-hand batter's box.
He always gets up there and digs that out of there with his feet.
Foul. Long first baseline. Fouling that curve that Broker was serving.
One man out. Nobody on. Two in favor of the Aint. Second inning.
Johnny gets the sign from Jordan. Raises his arm for the pitch. And curves that one over for the second call. Strike. Two strikes. One ball.
Going out and none on. Johnny sets his cap. Gets ready to go. The arm goes up in the motion.
Gosland just managed to foul that one slightly and it's bounded off.
Unfiring. Will Benin's chest protector clear out the third base where Red Rolf handed to George Moriarty.
Unfiring a third and George has tossed it back to Broker. Counted two strikes and one ball. Gosland the batter.
Broker is ready. Here's the pitch. Little high ball. Two. Two and two.
Two and two. One out. None on. And the pitch. Gosland pops the shortstop. Frank Crusetti settling himself for the catch. He has it. Two out.
Rogel is up. The fire chief will bat left handed today against right hand pitching.
Still is in there. Here's the pitch. Inside ball one. Two down. None on. And the next pitch Rogel fouled strike one.
Up in the upper deck. Out along third base way. And the count is one and one on Rogel with two out and none on in the second.
And the score two one in favor of the Yankees. The last game the Yankees will play here this season.
A foul ball. Juergens under it down here below us and has it. And Broker retired the side in order. Neat pitching in that inning.
All in first up grounds of Crusetti at short. Gosland pops the Crusetti and Rogel fouled a Juergens.
So it's one two one in favor of New York at the end of the second inning. First man up is Broker starting the third. Broker, Crusetti and Walsh.
Are the first three.
The handy day for a ball game. And a nice crowd out here to see the Yankees making their last appearance at Maven Field for 1934.
We hope before the ball game gets over that Babe Ruth gets in it. Like see Babe take one more swing this season.
But his leg is pretty sore. He takes a bit of batting practice but not very much.
Manager Cochran, Charlie Horst is better but still not cured. That's why he's out of today's game.
The pitch is high. Ball one. Broker the batter. Leading off for the Yankees.
Not see the ball very well. You know he wears glasses. Strike calls.
And he gave all the appearance of one who could not watch a fast pitch. The arm goes up for the next one. High ball three.
Three in one is the count.
Three in one. Marbury's arm goes up for the next pitch. Ball four. Broker walks.
Seems to be the tip off that Marbury is not right.
Fredge control is not so hot today. All he had to do with Broker was to pitch three in there.
Crosetti is up. Frank singled sharply the first time at bat. Bored the first Yankee run today.
Inside ball one.
Pull it out a little. Not much.
And the next pitch. High ball two. Two or nothing.
In the seven pitches so far in this inning Marbury has gotten but one across the plate. Count is two or nothing on Crosetti.
Broker on first. Nobody out third. And Yankee's leading two to one.
Hamlin again warming up. Great call. That one was in there. Letter high through the middle.
Fred looks over his shoulder to see what Broker is. He's not taking much lead.
Crosetti's flag high to center field. White is under it. He has it standing there like a statue.
One out. Rolf is up. Rolf doubled when he bounded one over Greenberg's head along the right field line in the first inning.
Sending Crosetti to third.
Fred gets the sign from Hayworth. Here's the pitch. Power strike. Hitting it in the dirt.
One out. Broker on first. Rolf batsman left handed.
And the next one low outside ball one. One and one on. Broker on first.
The next pitch coming in. A foul strike two up against this top deck and bounding down just beyond the reach.
Some box holders down there but a fellow stepped right out of the little gate and got that one.
He will take that one home. And the count is two.
Marbury gets the sign from Hayworth. He's ready to pitch. Here it comes.
Another hit for Rolf a single over second. White throwing the ball in. Broker stopping at second.
Two for two for Rolf. Selkirk is up. Another left hand batter.
George had a hard single the first time at bat which scored for Crosetti and Rolf.
Another one batter. He's changed the stance of the plate and is crowding it.
He's put on the back line. Ball. Ready to hit an outside pitch. Count is one and one.
Facing around almost facing first base as he stands in there now the way he's standing.
Left leg pulled back. Left leg right on the inside line of the box.
Here's the next pitch. Outside. Ball two. Two and one.
Two and one on Selkirk. Broker on second. Rolf on first. One out. High inside. Ball three. Three and one.
Three and one with one out. Joey Shoe telling Broker what to do. Ball four. Faces loaded.
Gary is up. One man out. Gary popped two on the first time at bat.
Wind is blowing toward left set of field.
Lair up in Lou Gehrig is the batter with the bases loaded in one out.
The crowd is getting rather tense. Score is two one in favor of the Yankees. This is the third inning.
Marbury is raising quite a bit of dust out there as he kicks the ground around to get better footing.
He's been off in his pitching. Control has been bad. Here's the pitch to Gary again. It's high outside. Ball one.
A high hard one.
Gets the sign from Hayworth. Starts the motion. Here's the pitch. A bounder over second base. Four hits into center field.
Here's the scoring followed by Rolf. Selkirk reaching third. Makes the score four one in favor of the Yankees.
The handless area is up. That seems to be all for Marbury. Time is called.
Hamlin comes in from the bullpen to relieve Marbury who has allowed four runs.
And. Fix it. In two and one third innings. Two runs are on the bases. That will be charged to Marbury if they score.
Your attention please. Hamlin now pitching forty twice. Hamlin now pitching forty twice.
Luke the tired piper of Hamlin. Now going to pitch for the Tigers. Was very right hand batter is in there. Hamlin takes his stretch.
Here's the first pitch. It's high ball one. A high fast one.
Here goes up for the next one. Gary takes a bit of a lead off first. Was very swung hard in this strike one. One and one.
One and one on Pusher Moptoni. Luke is ready. And here comes the next one. Gary going on it. Was very punched.
And then Pete Fox played the ball badly and got passed into the screen. Gary will score all the way from first. And was very is pulling up a third.
Now he's going to come home when Green Bird fumbled. Fox is thrown. Well that was quite an exciting hit.
One single for Lazarie. Going cell cut from third. And advancing Gary. The second.
Fox fumbled a hit. And Gary reached third on Fox's first fumble. Then he threw badly through Green Bird. And Gary continued on home.
Now Lazarie rather continued on home. Fox I believe will get charged with two errors. Was very getting a single.
Just a minute till we get the officials going on that. Green Bird the other one. Green Bird gets the other error instead of Fox two on the throw.
The Chapman is up. Van Hammen was picked the ball and a strike. And the next pitch inside ball two.
Here's the next one coming in inside and high. Ball three. Three and one on Chappy. Chappy single the first time up and was out stealing.
And one goes up in the motion and the next pitch Chapman lying to left field. It's over Garzell's head against the wall. He's playing it on the first hop. Going to second.
Chapman is coming down there. A two base hit for Chapman. Well well well this is quite a Yankee batting rampage this afternoon.
He's in the first inning on three hits. No runs in the second. And five runs in the third inning with one man out. Chapman is on second.
Bird is up. Bird fly to white the first time up. Strike called. You would expect Bird to fly to someone. Wouldn't you all?
One takes his stretch for the next pitch. Here she comes. Ball to looping curve outside. O'Gill and is out at first.
O'Gill to Greenberg. Chapman advancing to third on the very peculiar play. That was a carrom off O'Gill's heel. Shot over to O'Gill at shortstop.
O'Gill picked it up and threw to Greenberg just ahead of the flying bird. Well we've seen everything now. We're like the guy that had delirium freeman.
Two out and Jorgens is up. Chapman on third. A called strike on arc. As Hamlin picked a ball about knee high through the middle.
The next one Jorgens walks in the general direction of the scoreboard. Goslin looping high. Hitting it with his gloved hand but failing to hold on to it.
Chapman scoring. The ball returns from the outfield getting past a couple of the lads. But nevertheless it's a two base hit for Jorgens.
He remained on second while the ball was being cuffed around the infield as it came in. And that makes six runs in this inning and the score is now eight one in favor of the Yankees.
Nine men have batted and broke it. It is up for the second time. Well well well this is quite a track meet for the boys from the Bronx.
Crowd is getting a run for their money today and so are the Yankees getting many runs for their money.
Broca swung and missed that one strike one. He opened the inning by drawing a pass from Marbury which was the tip off of Fred wasn't right.
It wasn't sure in that first inning. Broca can't see very well in there and all you have to do is throw them in strike two calls.
Two and nothing on Broca. Hamlin going through a bit of setting up exercises to loosen up his arm out there.
He hasn't had much chance to throw the boys have been hitting them right back. Strike three and out calls.
Six runs. Five hits. Two errors. Hamlin is up.
So in changing the pitching records Marbury left the game after allowing four runs and six hits but he had two men on there so and they scored.
So he's charged with six of the runs six hits in two and one third innings.
Rook is coming up very back some left handed although he throws right handed.
He's moving on over now toward left field outside. Wall one. Fingering the Hamlin hits it off. He'll swing late and punch a ball in the left rather than pull one in the right although he's a left hand batter.
Strike called. The count is one and one.
Four is eight and one. And Broca pitches the next one. Hamlin fouling in the left field stand strike two. Two strikes and one ball.
Two and one. Hamlin smashed the single to left center field wrapping one on the ground between second base and Frankie Crusettie. The Yankee shortstop.
One out Hamlin on first.
And Fox is up. That is Hamlin's fifth hit of the season.
Hamlin a little low. Pete had a hit the first time up.
Strike called a fast ball letter high. Count is one and one.
One and one on Fox Hamlin on first. Grounded to Luzari. Luzari fumbled his peculiar lower. He hopped over his hand. It took some English and bound it away from him.
Just as he was reaching for it and Fox gets a hit rather than Luzari being charged with an error. It was one of the most peculiar rolling balls we've seen.
There's a lot of spin on it. Luzari had started to his left and then he took a step back to get this ball and it seemed to revolve and sort of curve right away from him.
Very slow roller. Hamlin on second. Fox on first. One out. White is up.
The ball inside to a left hand batter scores eight one and favor the Yankee. This is the third inning. One man gone with Hamlin on second. Fox on first.
He's kept. Tows the rubber. Here's the pitch. Strike swinging at a fast one. And the count is one and one.
Johnny throws the rubber again. Here's the pitch. Strike two called on white. Another fast ball pitched over the outside corner. Two strikes. One ball.
Again, Broca steps in there. Here it comes inside. Bound of the slow one for first. Broca finally the ball and the bases are loaded. Broca grabbed it, made another grab and it scored as a hit for White.
Bases are loaded now. One man out. He has a hit rather than Broca and there on that. Bounder which he popped. Hitting it slowly toward first. Broca made two stabs for it. Couldn't get it in time for a play.
And we're seeing a lot of different kinds of baseball today. Charlie Gehringer is the batter. He popped to Corsetti the first time up.
Three on one out. Score eight, one and favor the A. High inside. Ball one. Broca is rubbing the first foration off his glasses with his handkerchief.
Now he's all set to go as the arm goes up in the motion. Strike called on Charlie. A pitch right through the middle. One and one. Hamlin on third.
Box on second. White on first. One man out. The arm goes up for the pitch. Gehringer fouled back a third base. Wolff made a nice try for it. Lost his cap in the effort.
And showed his flaming red patch from which he get up his nickname of Red Rolf. Coming back in now the count is two strikes and one ball. Charlie Gehringer the batter with the bases loaded.
The fans from Powerville gave Charlie a nice floral horseshoe this afternoon before the game. We'll see whether it brings any luck or not.
Broca rubbing the shine off the ball. A new ball. This one pounded into the boxes out there.
Nice pulling his glove back on. Climbing up on the hill and throwing the rubber. Two strikes and one ball is the count. Here's the pitch. Gehringer pop. And it looks as though Wolff would take that coming in almost to the plate to make the catch on that little pop fly in front of the plate.
Two men out. Greenberg is up. Hank's fan the first time. Well the floral horseshoe didn't bring Charlie much luck at first two times at that. Been retired on pop flies for shortstop and to the third base.
Three on and two down. Greenberg is up. We struck out the first time. Broca takes his cap off and he settles it on his head again. He's up on there and he's ready to go. Here's the first pitch to Hank. It's a cold strike. A fast ball letter high on the outside corner.
Again Johnny mopped the brow and the glasses. Kind of warm out there working. One wearing glasses that gets steamed up a bit. We're in the third inning and it's almost four o'clock. We'll probably be here all night.
Everything has happened so far that you'd expect to happen on a ball field. Two strikes and nothing. The arm goes up for the pitch. Greenberg bounded the flow into third base. He's out.
Rolls together. No runs. Three hits. Two of them very scratchy. No errors and three men left on bases. First man up pay worth. Slide to Chapman and left center. Hamlin single to left center.
Fox got a hit on a peculiar roller that popped over the various outstretched bare hands. White got a single on a top ball. Bounding slowly towards first that Broca could not handle in time for the put out. That filled the bases.
Gearinger then popped the roll about ten feet up the line from the plate towards third base. Greenberg entered the inning. Popping a pitch. Bounding one to third and was tossed out Broca to Greenberg.
No run three hits. No errors and the score remains eight one in favor. The answer is the fourth inning open. The first man up is Crosetti single the first time. Slide to white the second time. Marbury started the game allowed six of these runs and six hits in two and a third innings and Luke Hamlin is now doing the pitching in the first pitch a ball inside.
Hamlin starts his wind up for the next one foul strike. Bounded off Hayworth's match. The count is one and one. This is W.W.J. to Detroit News white star refining company bringing you this game.
Hamlin gets ready with a new ball. He looks him over he starts his wind up. Here's the pitch. Strike two calls. Cutting that outside corner. Two strikes one ball.
And here's the next one. Ball a little high. Two and two was over there but high. Two and two. Crosetti popped the foul off the handle in the stand.

A foul ball in the side pocket. Two and two is the count. Nice new ball. Hamlin ready. Arm goes down up again. Here she comes. Another foul over the roof. No souvenir on that except somebody outside may get it.
Another new ball coming into play. Two and two is the count on Crosetti leading off in the fourth. Three and two. Been up there a long time. About time to get on or get out.
He's on I would think. Oh and knocked down the drive. He's out. Oh and knocked down his drive. Couldn't hold it cleanly. Picked it up. He's kind of late on that throw. We didn't think he could possibly get him but his fast, accurate throw did.
The hard smash right there at third base. One out. Red Ross is up with a double and single to his credit. Two times at bat. Right.
He scored two runs and is driven in. One. Four outside and low. Four eight one and save it the Yankees. For any of you just tuning in. Fourth inning. One out and none on.

Crosetti and Rolf walked the second time and lived the score. A drive to left. Garzman is under that one and has it.
Lying drives to left center for the third out. Crosetti first up grounded out Oh and the Greenberg. A hard smash just inside the bag. Oh and knocked it down. Didn't look as though he could possibly recover in time but he did.
He's really not with a hard accurate throw. Rolf and Selkirk both flied to Garzman and left. Tigers come to bat in the fourth. Oh and Garzman and Rowe Geller up. So far the Tigers have made four hits off Broca.
Fox has one of them. Two of them rather and white and one of the other two. One of Fox's was rather scratchy and so was one of white and the one that white had.
The Tigers have made six hits off Marbury and three off Hamlin. We're ready to go. Oh and is in there. He grounded the short the first time at bat. The first pitch a called strike.

And the next pitch Garzman found a short stop. Crocetti has it there's a throw he's out at first. Crocetti did Gary. Two out and a nine.
Rogel is up. Bill filed a jargon the first time at bat.
All right here's the first pitch to Willie and he bounded one through Crocetti into center field for a single. Rogel singles the center with two men out.
He was up. He was fired the captain and center the first time up. One and fair the Yankees. Fourth inning fourth game.

All in the first up filed a jargon to ran clear down the first base to make a catch. Garzman was tossed out by Crocetti the Yankee shortstop.

Coming around late on those is the next one. Hamlin's bounded a slow into Laverry. He's... hey, he went very fast and he beat that slow into Laverry.
He's a slow high bounder. He went down there like Joe Joe White or Pete Fox. Two hits and two times at bat for Luke.

Here's the first pitch. Bang bang bang a high fly and short left field. Gosling is coming in under that one. He's set and ready to throw. But Bird failed to try to score after that throw.
He's coming right in to Hayward. Bases still loaded. One out. He'd have been out if he had sent him to score on that one because the ball was not hit very far out in left field.

Two and one. Hamlin starts to wind up a long wind up on this pitch. Here comes a slow ball. Selkirk meeting it fairly, going between box and white against the barrier in front of the bleachers in center for a two-bass hit.
Hamlin tried to change a pace ball there and Selkirk timed it perfectly. Lined a single, a double between box and white.

Two and two and the pitch is a single to left field. Selkirk is rounding third. Dozen can't pick the ball up the floor and Selkirk. Somewhere along this line up with Selkirk and Salgaber we should have Puckelworts and Malinkavic.

Greenberg is trapped now between second and third. White is taking a lead off second. Greenberg is reciting.
White is taking third. They're all yelling out there. Danny Chapman coming way in from center field.
Made the foot out on Greenberg. Danny dropped the ball and in sagging Greenberg and Greenberg is standing back on first and may be permitted to remain there.
We have to wait for a moment until we see Empire Willie McGowan's final decision on it. White however is safe on third. That's much we are sure.
Chapman took this course. Everybody was mixed up in the play. All the infielders and then Chapman coming in from center field finally got into the play.
Chapman took Saul Gavers' thoughts and stabbed Greenberg in the back. Greenberg whirled around. The ball dropped to the ground and Henry got back to first.
White is on third. Perching there. Greenberg standing on first and I believe both boys will be allowed to remain where they are.
The only one that wasn't in the rundown was Broca, Selkirk and Jorgon. The picture of the left fielder and the catcher.
White. Just a moment. White has been pulled out and sent to the... No, no, that's alright. I thought that was White who was going in there.
Empire Willie McGowan motions something over to George Moriarty there. Third, it is White. Chapman has been put out of the game for kicking.

Chapman bumped him on the way. White is coming back third. The game will be resumed in just a minute.

Well that's the way it stands now. Chapman has been chased for kicking. White is on third and Greenberg on first after that rundown in which both boys were involved.
And finally Chapman stabbing Greenberg in the back. Hank knocked the ball out of his hands is what he really did.
And got back to first while White reached third. It's a narrow for Chapman. The first pitch to all in a strike, the second one a foul strike.
Two and nothing on all in. He's had no hits in three times at bat. Ball one outside. Hop.
Going on first. Goslin is up. Goslin hasn't gotten the ball out of the infield in three times at bat. Moro Hogue is playing center fielder now since Chapman was banished for saying unkind things to umpire McGowan.
Score is nine four in favor of New York. This is the seventh inning in one of the wildest, woolliest games we've ever witnessed.
There looks like a long punch into the bleachers for a home run. Goslin hitting one of the bleachers for a home run scoring behind on.
Something new that hasn't happened yet either today.
Well that makes the score. What is it about nine six now in favor of the Yankees. Two men up. Rogel is up. Seventh inning.
Rogel grounded the Lasari on the first pitch. He's out. Lasari to Thalgaber. Second to first.
Four or three runs. Two hits. One error. Nobody left on base. White first up.
Singles. Garing are grounded out to first. Thalgaber unassisted. White stopping at second. Greenberg hits the shortstop.
Crossetti crossing the ball to Rolf trying to get White going into third and White was trapped between second and third. White jockied up and down the base pass with Crossetti, Rolf and Lasari and Broker getting mixed up in the play.
In the meantime Greenberg went on down to second while White kept these boys chasing him. Jojo eventually stepped back on second base with Greenberg standing on the bag which of course forced Greenberg to go back to first.
In the meantime Benny Chapman and Centerfielder came in to take part in the proceedings. Greenberg started for first with Roe Wentz and Thalgaber. Then back again Chapman finally got the ball standing right beside Greenberg and stabbed him in the back.
He got midway between first and second. Greenberg whirling away from him after being tagged, knocked the ball out of Chapman's hand and scampered back to first while Chapman was arguing and White reached third. Chapman kept on arguing and was chased out of the game and Hogue relieved him in Centerfielder.
Then Holland forced Greenberg at second while White scored. Garzen hit a home run in the breach of scoring behind Owen. Rogel ended the inning, grounding to Lasari on the first pitch.
The first two runs, two hits and one error. Now that the Yankees are opening the eighth inning with Broca up and the count is two strikes and two balls. Two and two. Broca has walked twice and struck out.
The count is short. Rogel, the ball hopped over Rogel's head for a single, taking a false hop, getting something there just as Bill was set for it, bounded high in the air over his head for a single.
Another peculiar thing we've seen today, we've certainly seen 20. Crosseady is up. Strike called, attempting to bunt. Broca on first, nobody off, eighth inning.

A throw to first. Hit Broca. And for hit to Roth. Permitting Crosseady to advance to third. Hayworth tried to pick Roth off first. His throw hit Red in the pants.
And Crosseady took third on the error. It's an error charged to Hayworth.
Runners on third and first. The count is one and one on Selkirk.
All right, here's the pitch. Selkirk fouls for the second strike. It's right up here and down again. Got his two strikes in one ball. Runners on third and first. One man out.
It's the eighth inning and the score is nine-six. Favorite those Yankees. Hamlin is ready. Ball outside a fast one and the count is two and two.
The arm goes up for the next pitch. Coming in. Ball three. Miss the outside corner with that one. Three and two. One man out.
Salves gave her a left hand batter up with the count three and two. Or rather, Selkirk and Salves gave her on six. Another left hand batter. Runners on third and first. Here's the pitch. Roth going on it. It's a single over second base.

The chief is throwing a few to Hayworth. Salves gave her stands just outside the left hand batter's box looking them over. Salves gave her hits to Rogel. Rogel fumbled it.

Out on a direct line with a flag pole in that center field exit. Mr. Lazeria hit that one 20. White started with a crack at the bat, turned his back to the diamonds, ran four out and turned around just in time to make the catch.
A very long hit ball. Two runs. Two hits. Two errors. One man left on base. Bronco first up got a single when he's bounded a shortstop. Took a quick high bound over Roguel test.

Johnny Broca fixed the entire game for the Yankees and they leave town tonight for the season having halved this series losing the first two by shutouts scores and winning the last two.
Tigers leave for St. Louis tonight to play six games in four days by winning four more games this season. The Tigers will clink the pen and regardless of what the Yankees do. So do not get too worried about what happened yesterday and today out here.
No ends and other thrilling episode in the Tigers pursuit of the pen and although they didn't pursue much today featuring Mickey Cochran and his boys and brought to you by the White Star defining company and its mobile gas and mobile oil dealers.
You'd never think this was practically the same Tiger team we had last year would you. Just one big difference. The leading leader Mickey himself.
And that's what counts in everything baseball or business leadership. White Star is a leader to right here in Wayne County more motors use mobile gas than any other gasoline.
And mobile oil is the world's largest selling motor oil. That's leadership that always stays to follow the leaders.
You're enjoying the Tiger baseball broadcast stop at the sign of the flying red horse when you need gas or oil and tell the mobile gas man. Of course we couldn't ask you to do that if mobile gas and mobile oil weren't the leaders.
But they are. The more you use them in your car the more you'll realize how true that is. Tonight at six o'clock White Star will bring you the scores of all the games and at six thirty a resume of today's game.
So listen in to W.W.J. with the side Tyson bidding you good afternoon from Navenfield until next week when Chicago comes in here for three games.
And I return you to the studio is a W.W.J. The Detroit News for a continuation of our broadcast.
