oDETRorT. May 20 - m -
A fourth successive victory ov-
er the Cleveland Indians, there
by squaring their season series
at five games each, was the goal
today of the slugging Detroit
Tigers.
The Tigers, who have blasted
Cleveland pitching in three
games for 81 hits totaling 81
bases. were slated to face rapid
Robert Teller, twice their ne
mesis this season, as Manager
Roger Peckinpaugh revised his
pitching plans in view of De-
troit's tremendous power.
Jim Bagby was nominated as
an alternate to Teller, but the
one-time Iowa farmboy was con-
sidered almost q cinch to OPP
pose Tommy Bridges, seeking
his years fifth victory. Mana
ger Peckinpauch was not act
ually panicky but his memory is
keen when It comes to details
of Detroit's 1910 pennant surge
over the Indians.
Detroit's third straight victory
over Cleveland yesterday was
marked by Bruce Campbell's
fifth home run In six days and
Al Benton's relief pitching that
gave him credit for the 8 to S
triumph. Campbell, q scourge
to his old mates, also connected
for a double that set up the
winning run in the seventh inn
ing.
1t was a big day, too, for
rookie Pat Mullin, who connect
ed for two singles and q 400-foot
triple, to run his batting streak
to 10 consecutive games and his
average to 1893. Although Bar
ney McCosky appeared as a
pinch-hitter for the first time
since his injury May IL, Mullin
will remain in the centerfield
job until Barney is pronounced
100 per cent fit.
In gathering II hits for ia
bases, the Tigers drove Mel Har.
der from the mound and scored
their winning runs off Harry
Eisenstat. a former teammate
Detroit'ss flaw, as in .1040, was
its defense and four errors ga.
botaged the work of Paul (Diz-
zy) Trout. making his second
start of the season.
The Tigers matched two
Cleveland runs in the first inn
ing and moved ahead in the
third when Birdie Tebbetts sin
gled Pinky Higgins home. When
Campbell exploded his homer
into the left field stands with
Rudy York aboard in the fifth,
Trout had q S to 2 lead.
Trout had the misfortune,
however, of dishing up a home
run ball to Ray Mack with two
aboard in the seventh, and Man
ager. Del Baker called in Ben

Oklahoman applied the brakes
to the Indians and thus gained
his third victory of the season.
The Tigers went to work on

Such might be fair description Of Ca
lexico today.
Until three or four years ago, CaleXieoo
was dying a slow civic death. You couIa
even find a few persons who declared
without hesitation that rigor mOrtlS had

Whatever it was, it spread. 1t was too big
to be contained in one little group.
Calexico not only got up from her civic
deathbed: she jumped up IN the air and
clicked her Spanish heels together.
The Calexico Desert Cayalcade sprout-
ed grew. blossomed. The De ANA trau

assumed a more and more active part III

This week CaleXico's city council gave
their people a guarantee that the ne"
lease on civic life is no temporary thlllg.
The councilmen made provision Tor con-

to house, in combination, the city nall,
Desert Cavalcade headquarters, and a mu-
scum of early day valley relics.
Perhaps the most stupendous thlng
about the whole affair is that. through 1t
ali. the people of CaleXico have not lost
their perspective. They have moved care

ING neutral, of depicting history faithful
w. The cowboys in the Desert Cavalcade
are not Hollywood cowboys. The pioneer
women are not glamorized fictions Of
some authors imagination. They are exact
replcas. And therein lies the charm OF
what Calexico has done. Therein lies the
reason for CaleXico's growing nationwide
fame as a pageant city. They have not
copied anything but the truth.
The same fidelity to fact Will be ap-
parent in Calexico's new civic building
It will be a building of the desert coun-
trv. and for the desert country. 1t will
be in structural form the new spirit Of
Calexico, spirit nutured in the past but
famed into a blazing flame of civic
achievement for the present and future.
Hats off to CaleXico.
