Showing an excellent change of pace, the stocky built hurler mixed his “serves” to keep the Tigers guess ing. The Tigers nailed their share of hits off Roy , but were unable to bunch them, accounting for nine safeties. Playing loose, sloppy ball behind the sensational hurling of Braddon, the Tigers seemed lost in the glare of the floodlights.

Lind ley and Fleming scored as a result of a hard drive by Holland, the back stop for the Tigers. The game rocked along until the sixth when the In dians got ther eye on the ball, and accompanied by the loose playing of the Tigers pushed five runs across the plate with Elliott, Etten, Hilcher, Roy and Tuckey scoring in a barrage of base hits. Getting on bases with an odd assortment of freak plays the quintet put the game on ice for the Indians. With the exception of a minor scoring threat in the seventh and ninth when the Tigers pushed three runs across in a vain attempt to halt the fast flying Indians, the chancas of the Tigers were for naught.

The Spanish-Irish fast ball flinger was born Nov. 26, 1910, at Rodeo, Cal. He was pitching for a high school team at Richmond, Cal., when Nick Williams, manager of the San Fran?lsco 3esb, “discovered” him. Gomez spent the year of 1928 at Salt Lake City. In 1929 New York bought him for $35,000. After a year at St. Paul, Gomez started pitching regularly for the Yanks in 1931. He won 21 and lost nine in 1931, won 24 and lost seven in 1932 and in his best year, 1934, won 26 and lost five, leading the league in strikeouts, games won,' win ning percentage, earned run per centage and most innings pitched. This year, after a good start, Gomez has turned up with a sore arm. He is married to th? former June O Dea, Broadway actress. Faces are harder to remember than names.
