Singletons tomorrow and Friday against the Red Wings will start at 7:30. Saturday and Sunday games with runnerup Rich- | mond are slated for 2 p. m., with the series finale Monday at 7:30. On that date, the man-agement will observe its annual Fans Appreciation Night,with only a nominal fee admitting ail followers of the Chiefs to MacArthur Stadium.Also, tonight is the first of three remaining Family Nights in which mothers are admitted at reduced rates and childrenentirely free.Probably the biggest of the upcoming dates, however, will be Thursday, Aug. 24, when Bill Tuttle Night is observed. ! with the management donating a percentage of all box and reserved seat sales to the■ I -popular veteran who played 147 games for the 1854 DetroitTigers and was considered one of the top center fielders in the major leagues.Tuttle has been an inspiration to the current younger players and his bat, actually, | has been the dominant factor in the Chiefs’ drive since the campaign got underway. lt;Tuttle is 38 years young,and, of course, is approaching the end of his active playing career.
