Hoot Evers’ Home Run
Puts Tigers Out Front
BY JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
Walter (Hoot) Evers finally has gotten out of the shad
ow of Dick Wakefield.
For nine long years the blond-haired, blue-eyed slugger
had to play second fiddle to Wakefield, the $52,000 bonus
baby.
Ever since both were 20 years
old when they joined the Tiger or
ganization, Wakefield was the one
in the spotlight, took all the bows
and most of the money.
It was just plug, plug, plug
for the unheralded St. Louisian,
whese only claim to fame was
that he was Wakefield’s roomie
and traveling companion.
The pair started in Winston-
Salem, N. C., in 1941. Evers bat
ted only .231 to Wakefield’s .300.
The pair moved up to Beaumont,
Texas, in ’42. Evers raised his bat
ting mark to .322 but once again
he was overshadowed by Wake
field’s .345.
Evers spent the next three
years in the service while Wake
field was establishing himself
as a star with the Tigers. He re
turned in 46 and hit .266.° But
Wakefield still topped him with
a .268 mark. Hoot then moved
up to .296 in ’47, .314 in ’4B and
.303 in ’49. But he never got the
recognition he deserved.
This season with Wakefield’s
shadow no longer hovering over
hinr Evers finally established him
self as a top drawer star.
Last night he hammered a
10th inning home run to give
the Detroit Tigers a 6-5 triumph
over the Philadelphia Athletics.
It was his ninth of the cam
paign, He also walloped a tri
ple and single to run his hit
ting streak through 18 consec
utive games. He added 10 points
to his batting average to place
him at the top in both leagues
with a .379 figure.
Evers’ bat boosted the league
leading Tigers to a half game edge
over the New York Yankees, who
bowed to the White Sox in Chi
cago, 6-5. It was the first Yankee
defeat in the West. They had
made a sweep of the previous tour.
Art Houtteman survived three
heme run pitches to post his
