TIGERS SMASH UP
INDIANS, liz

oCLEVELAND,-Aug. 7-(RE
These are trying days for Mama
ger Del Baker of the Detroit
Tigers, but he should be refresh
ed today by two developments
that came almost simultaneously.
First, the collapsed champions
reeaptured their famed 1910
power for an inning yesterday
to send IL runs across the plate
before the side was retired and
give Al Benton an IL to 2 vict-
DRY over the Cleveland Indians.
At Detroit, owner Walter o.
Briggs put an end to all talk
that Baker is to be replaced this
season with q statement that
there will be no change in man.
ayers at this time and no deci-
sion will be made regarding the
future until the season is over
STILL HAS RESPECT
Ending of official silence of
rumors that Baker is TO be fired
in favor of possibly Jimmy
Dykes of the Chicago White Sox
or Steve O'Neill, Detroit coach,
was interpreted in many quart
ers as an indication that Baker
still holds the respect of owner
Briggs.
Baker, when advised of
Briggs statement, said Il won't
do any crying if my contract
isn't renewed Walter Briggs
owns the Club and it's strictly
business if he wants to make q
change"
"Regarless of what happens,
I'll keep my head up and my jaw
out" Del said.
The Tiger manager said he
had not talked to Briggs for
some time but that he was mot
paying much attention to rum
ors."
IF Mr.. Briggs decides to make
a change, he'll let me know
about it personally and not
through the newspapers" Baker
said.
The 11-run spree at the ex-
pense of three Cleveland Pitch
ers was shot in the am for
the Detroit Club which only five
times this season had been able
to gather that many runs in
complete games.

lRnies Bar Kallops 7ailors,
XII, to End Regular Schedule
Losers Mark Only
TolIy In Lost. Held
Down By kurkowski

sHolding Hubarth Il Schott
scoreless for six innings-and
allowing only one run in the
seventh-the Bilrus Cafe team
collected five runs in their own
"ins" last night, to take the Re-
creation League championship
81.
The game, q sudden death one
for the losers, climaxed Q sum-
mer's play in which the Lumber
men came off on top during the
regular season of play and
brought revenge for the Bilrus
team, which finished second be-
hind the team they vanquished
last night.
LEHL LEADS WINNERS
Racking up two runs off four
hits in the first. the Cafemen, led
by Adam Lehl, who got three
singles for three tries, were new
er headed by the H & S outfit.
Instrumental in victory was
Hank Kurkowski who marked
up eight strikeouts and held the
losers to four hits, three of them
made in the last two innings. He
allowed one walk; Richard gave
no free passes.
The losers only run was scor-
ed in the last, when Strumfer,
second sacker, blasted out q
home run ball only to be held to
third under ground rule-the
ball bouncing off q car bumper
in deep left.
Most exciting moment of an
unexciting game was when
Potts, Bilrus starting second
sacker, and Shields second-base
starter for H & S, exchanged .
few words and swings at the
middle corner after Potts had
dashed out q single and stolen
second in the first. Both left the
game via the thumb route.
SHORTS PLAY WELL
Left shorts on both teams
Dubay for Bilrus and Inman for
H & S-played sensationally in
the field and grabbed some hot
pickups. Kowalski, hot corner
resident for the winners. whip
ped some nice throws across to
first.
In addition to his fielding,
Dubay got a triple and a single
in three visits to the plate.
The Bilrus team made q clean
sweep Of the playoff series, beat
ing H 4 8 In their opener, SIS,
and giving the count to the In
dependents, 15-11.
