In a 4 – 3, 10-inning loss to the Browns, Tiger CF Gee Walker is picked off base twice in the same frame, earning him a 10-day suspension for his ineptitude. After Hank Greenberg singles, Walker reaches base on a error, but then gets caught off base when C Rollie Hemsley fires to first base. Greenberg attempts to draw a throw by running to third base and is thrown out, with Walker taking second. Moments later, with Walker standing six feet off the bag “as brave as a boy on a burning deck” (writer Charles P. Ward’s description), pitcher Jack Knott’s throw to SS Alan Strange nabs him. Mickey Cochrane is so furious he suspends Walker and fines him $20 – the 6th time this season that he has earned a $20 fine. Gee’s next appearance won’t come until July 16 when he pinch-hits for Cochrane.
