The reports made 20 tho Comptroller

Use like cold cream to subdue

In the treatment of the various

Kavanaugh Real Star;
Big Help to the Tigers

Marty kavanaugh, the second base
man of the Detroit Tigers. leading Tri-
State hitters last season, is heralded as
the sensation of the present season.
The youngster is given credit for being
the best second baseman Jennings has
had since the days of Schaefer and
Delehanty, and he is picked to prove
the find off, the year.
In addition to playing high class
game in the field, Kavanaugh has al
ready helped the Tigers to five victo-
ries by his timely hitting. He is fast
on his feet and has a lot of nerve. 1t
is to the acquisition of this young
player that much of the improvement
which the Tigers have shown is at
tributed.
Kavanaugh was with York and is
the first man to make good on the
jump, since Eddie Foster broke into
fast company.
