Detroit beat Boston, to 0, in De-
troit Friday. Dauss pitched for the
Tigers.
Yes. the same George Dauss who got
his start on Indianapolis amateur lots
and at Manual Training High School.
It was about seventeen years ago
that George was an Indianapolis high
school lad and here he is still twirling
shut-out ball in the big leagues.
Quite a feat, that
A dozen seasons Dauss has been
member of the Tiger staff and lately
he has been showing the stuff that
made him famous in his early years in
the major leagues.
One of CObb's Dependables
Apparently Dauss has swung into
the new life injected into the Detroit
team and it looks like another big sea
son for George. One Of Ty Cobb's
mainstays despite his long, hard serv-
ice in the Johnson loop and his re-
turn to form recently has brought
joy to the hearts of the Tiger follow
/ ers.
Cobb's outfit is in third place and
playing consistent everyday ball. It
has established Itself as a candidate
for the pennant. 1t has the batting
strength, is formidable in the field
and, with the pitching showing i'm
provement, it has better than an out
| side chance to win.
| A big shock to the experts 1t would
| be if the Tigers cop. 1t is a team TO
be feared by the St. Louis and New
York clubs.
/ The season has quite a distance to
go and the Tigers seem to be growing
stronger.
George Dauss. veteran though he is,
is in the midst Of the Tiger effort.
Jack Hendricks Indians had that
grand and glorious feeling Friday
| night. They chased the jinx for
| day and downed the Brewers, s to 5.
1t was a ball game filled with ex-
/ element 1t stretched out for more
than two hours, but it was worth the
| time for the fans because the home
club won.
Let us hope the jinx was chased
over to the Saints camp. 1t can do
little damage there that would be
| appreciated by seven clubs in the
| league.
| Timely hitting and a few walks wen
| for the Indians Friday. A cluster of
four runs in the sixth practically de-
cided the contest Bob Clark hurled
| for the visitors and he was lucky that
| he didn't get a more severe beating.
Cavet twirled seven and one-third in
nings for the Tribe and Petty went
the remainder of the route
Wyatt Swings His Mask
Extra thrills were added in the fifth
/ inning when Catcher Myatt OF the
Brewers had a brainstorm. The Brew
ers accused Cavet of tampering with
the ball and Umpire O'Brien exam
| ined 1t. Then he thrust it into his
| pocket and the row was on.
The Brewers wanted to look at that
pellet so badly they could hardly talk
for wanting to scrap. Wyatt finally
got so excited he swung his mask at
O'Brien's head. A team mate grabbed
his arm and saved the umpire a
thump on the dome.
In the mixup Wyatt and Second
Baseman Lear were banished from
| the lot. 1t looked like serious trouble
for a minute. but the park police
squad walked out on the field and
the laws presence had e quieting
effect.
At any rate, the Indians won. My,
what a welcome victory!
Vice President Bill Smith ex-
planned why the Indians won the
Friday game. It was won in the
morning, he said. A street car struck
wagon load of hay and pushed the
entire load against the ball park en-
trance. The main door was complete.
ly hidden behind straw The driver
of the hay wagon thought the ball
club officials would be mad about it.
He met a surprise. Young Smith
thanked him instead of acting peeved.
That hay broke the Tribe jinx," said
Smith.
oh, yes, the Saints annexed another.
The tail-end Hens didn't offer any op-
position.
A double-header with the Brewers
today, one game Sunday. Monday is
an off day. The Minneapolis Millers
will be here Tuesday.
Eddie Brown didn't get hit in the
first two games with the Brewers.
Perhaps the presence of q scout in the
stands made the big fellow nervous.
