If you saw the war relief match
at Plum Hollow the other day you
probably noticed the look of
anguish on Mayor Jeffries' face
when Walter Hagen conceded Bob
Hope a putt of several feet on the
eighth.
There was reason. Two sea-
sons ago in a match at Oakland
Hills, Hope beat the mayor out
of a dollar. They had the same
wager at Plum Hollow and the
mayor was anxious TO get that
dollar back. But, aided by that
conceded putt Hope beat the

Detroit Hopes II
Still Has indian Sign
Over Boudreau's Club
BY LEO MACDONELL

With the hope that they may
match their successes in the first
series between the two teams. the
Tigers engage the Indians in a
game at Briggs Stadium this after
noon.
The Tigers won two out of the
three games played against the
Indians here at the start OF the
season. In the meantime the In
dams, aided by a brilliant 13-game
winning streak, scared to the top
OF the league standings only to
drop back when they hooked up
with the Yankees in New York
recently.
And, while the Indians were
soaring. the Tigers were surpris-
ing the baseball world with a
showing almost as good.
TRIBES BRIGHT SPOT
The Indians. however, cleaned
up on the Athletics and Senators,
while the Tigers found trouble
against those supposedly weak
sisters to drop from second to
fourth place in the standings.
Now the Tigers hope to use the
Indians as stepping stones for
surge upwards.
AL Benton. without a victory
in five games despite splendid
pitching, will try TO chase the jinx
today with Mel Harder flinging
for the Indians.
Jeff Heath is leading the Tribe
with 1865. At his heels is Les
Fleming. the former Tiger, whom
the Indians brought up from
Nashville and who has been one
OF the hitting sensations thus far
Otto Denning, who catches and
who is another recruit, and Oscar
Grimes are tied at 1922.
With mark of .296. Lou Boud-
reau is proving that managerial
duties are not weighing too
heavily on his shoulders.
After today's game the Tigers
and Indians move to Cleveland for
a double-header tomorrow.
Tommy Bridges and Paul Trout
will pitch for the Tigers in Cleve-
land. facing Jim Bagby and AL
Smith. Bagby beat Detroit in the
opening game Of the season.
