They have" performed yeoman duties so far but cannot be expect- ed to bear the entire load during the busy parts of the schedule. The addition of Larry Crooke to the lineup will also help on the mound. In his first two games at third base with the Expos. he was 4-for-9 and played well defensively. And Wod- nesday he pitched a complete game impressively scattering 10 hits its Tigers routed Stratford Hillers 13-5. He also bailed out starter Rick Williams in Tigers 5-4 victory over London Friday.
