Athletics Slip Past Tigers, 4-3
Starting pitcher Rube Waddell pitched well enough to help the Oakland Athletics beat the Detroit Tigers, 4-3. At 63-57, Oakland is in second place in the American League Western Division.

Oakland took a 4-3 lead on Pinky Higgins's 1st double of the season. The bases-clearing double, which Higgins hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Detroit pitcher Harry Coveleski visibly frustrated.

"It was a solid team effort," said Waddell after the game.
