Flint 9's Record
Perfect Beat
Then Tiges

FLINT, Aug. 10.-There's some
thing definitely unusual about the
Flint Indians of the Michigan State
League.
It's likely no other minor league
team in all of baseball can match
these Tribesmen of Flint.
Their record - against major
league opposition--is perfect, read
ing two for two.
Less than a month ago. the In
dams licked the Cleveland Indians
of the American League, 3D.. II
was doubly embarrassing for the
Clevelanders to bow. The Flint
club happens to be one of Cleve-
lands farms.
TIGERS MEAN MORE
But beating Cleveland. well
that was just a preliminary. What
the local Indians wanted to beat
was the Detroit Tigers.
And they did - whipping the
Tigers here Yesterday Sd. TO the
delight of 6,271 fans. All of which
should serve as a stimulus as far
as attendance goes here during
the balance of this season.
For the Tigers. the festivities
provided only one bright spot
Along with the fans they saw Pat
Mulljn, injured outflelder, pre-
sented with a fiashy. red converti-
bic automobile by his former Flint
roOterS.
The ailing f1v-chaser constitutes
Flints baseball pride and JOY
While not native here. it was
on the Flint sandlots Tiger scouts
discovered him. And the cere'
monies prior to the game topped
a Homecoming celebration.
Manager Del Baker led the
speechmakers who paid tribute &c
IMullin and expressed every belief
the outfielder's career will not
suffer any from his shoulder frac'
ture.
1--WE look for him to be In
there next season - the same
MuIlin who was hitting $50
when he was injured. Goodness
knows, well need him." Baker
declared.
The last remark brought a biz
laugh from the crowd.
