Tigers’ Tighe Says Yanks ‘Can be Taken’ BALTIMORE, (ZP).—Jack Tighe, rookie manager of the Detroit Tigers, echoed the confident feeling yesterday of Chicago’s A1 Lopez that the New York Yankees “can be taken” this season. “They have some fellows who are getting a little old, and Casey Stengel tells me a couple are getting too content,” Tighe said today. “That’s something new on the Yank ees—contentment.” Lopez, in the same vein, yesterday described the champions as “stagnant.” “They’re not nearly as tough as last year,” in the opinion of Tighe who is in his first year of major league managing. “Their pitching on the whole is still pretty good, but it’s not as sharp. Their bench is nothing near as terrifying as in past years. In other years, they had real wallopers to throw at you late in the game.” FOR LOCAL & LONG DISTANCE MOVING % BEARD TRANSFER & STORAGE Ph.
