...teller challenged the signature of the vanished Margaret Logan on a check. Police questioned Louise, as they had 24 years before. Detectives searched the house, as they had searched Jake Denton's.

After picking up two runs in the third and another in the fifth to take a 3 to 2 lead, the Crimson found the range and teed off in the sixth on starting pitcher Reed. Reed was shelled from the mound with a three-run barrage, and Phelps finished up for Melville. Crumrine started the fireworks with a walk and scampered to third on Forte's line single to center.

Last week, Connie Mack said that Detroit was the American League team to beat-mainly because of the added oomph which Al has given the Tigers' pitching staff...
