Hello, everybody, this is Bob Delaney from Yankees in the York, where the Yankees and the Tigers close out their three-game series.

And this, of course, is a vital game for the Tigers.

It can be the difference between three games and one game.

A Yankee victory today and a sweep of the series would put some four and a half games ahead of the Tigers. Five games up on the losing game. A Yankee victory today in a sweep of the series would put them four and a half

games ahead of the Tigers, five games up on the losing side. However, a Tiger victory today

could restore some small hopes to their pennant chances, which have gone aglimbering with

the two Yankee victories Friday night and yesterday afternoon. A tiger victory today would

move the Tigers out of town just two and a half games out of first place, three on a losing

side. So this is a big ball game for both the Yankees and the Tigers, of course a little bit bigger

for the Tigers in as much as they're fighting for their lives at the

moment as far as the pennant race is concerned another hot human day in New York another

very large crowd at Yankee Stadium the grandstand as it is spend for the entire three

games is for all practical purposes sold out there may be a few obstructed few seats in the

upper decks of right in left field but generally speaking the stadium as far as the

grandstand is concerned is fact the bleachers today will have fewer people and in

either of the previous two days but again today we'll have a crowd that will be in excess of 50,000.

Down below us, warming up,

Bill Stafford for the New York Yankees

and carrying the Tigers' hopes,

the big right-hander Jim Bunning.

Here are the batting orders

for the Tigers leading off and playing second base
