GRIFFMEN HIT THE BALL
By WILLIAM PEET.


Detroit, Mich, Aug. 16.-Bot
Groom had the Tigers completely
at his mercy this afternoon, twirl-
ing the Nationals to a clever 6 to l
victory and simply toying with De-
troit's sluggers.
Opposed to Groom was George
Dauss, sensation of the present
season, who performed the feat OF
beating the Climbers twice in one
series at the Capital, but when the
Griffmen got through with Dauss
this evening he was just alive and
breathing through his ears.
Washington assembled eleven
solid swats off the delivery OF
Young Dauss. Many of these
blows were timely, and this,
coupled with good base running
and Jim Dandy support behind
Bob Groom, made the Nationals
look like champions and the Tigers
like dubs.
Only Five Hits.
