Noodles Hahn completed the game without help from the bullpen and Lou Gehrig
slammed a homerun and had 4 RBI at Tiger Stadium as the Athens Bobkittens
beat the Brentwood Bearcats 8 to 2.

The home town fans were very appreciative of the fine hitting performance
provided by Gehrig.  He smashed a two-run homer (his 30th of the season) in
the 5th inning and doubled scoring two baserunners in the 7th inning.  Both
teams finished the game with 9 hits. 

Hahn(12-5) allowed 2 runs on the game. Nolan Ryan(11-7) was the losing
pitcher.  He pitched 6 innings and surrendered 6 hits and 3 walks.

The Athens ballclub's record now stands at 64-48.  With this loss, Brentwood
has a 4-6 record of late, 64-48 overall.
