Hal White
HurLs Tigers
TO 10 Win

DETROIT, Aug. 80 (4} -
Little Hal White doesn't win
often these days for the Detroit
Tigers, but he gets his share Of
the shut outs.
The slender Highlander, who
last year broke into the majors
with two successive shutoutS,
gained his second Of the present
season yesterday by downing
the Boston Red SoX, / to o. 1t
was Halls fifth victory against
eight defeats
AS a result, the Tigers are
sailing along on a fresh four
game winning streak into a
double-header today with the
SoX. Manager Steve O'Neill
nominated southpaws Hal New
houser and Frank (Stub) Over
mire to face Dick NeWsome and
George Woods on the mound.
White tossed a four-hitter al
Boston in the opener of a five
game series, but that feat was
matched by Yank Terry. All
eight hits were singles. Unfor-
tunately for Terry, the Tigers
got first inning run without
the aid Of hit.
Roger Cramer started off by
drawing a pass. On a hit-and run
play, C@lamer started for second
and was awarded the base when
Umpire George Pipgras charged
Terry with balk. Cramer
moved up on Joe Hoover'S sacri-
flee and, after Dick Wakefield
walked, Cramer scored from
third on Rudy York long fly to
right field.
Curiously, the Tigers slipped
back a notch TO the American
Leagues fourth place. half a
game behind the Washington
Senators who were Supplanted
in second by Cleveland. In the
current home stand, the Tigers
have superlative record OF
nine victories and three defeats
The victory gave Detroit an
8 to s season edge over the Sox
who play single games at Briggs
Stadium tomorrow and Satur-
day. The New York Yankees
come in Sunday for double
header that open a seven game
series in four days.

experts TO finish no better than

place all season. Currently, the
Senators, who are on long
road trip, are in virtual tie for
second.

NLh ANANhiR
There never was a more pop
ular figure i'm and out of base
ball than Michael J. Donlin. A
good looking Irishman with a
winning smile. Mike Donlin was
personality kid who knew a
million and one people, includ-
ing the best.
Colorful Turkey Mike Don
lin, a tremendous attraction at
the Polo Grounds, was a man
about Broadway, fitted right
into the Big Stem, loved it, He
hobnobbed with sports and ac-
tors, was one Of the mob, He
hung around the old Metropole,
where everybody worth while
hung out.
A grand mixer and two-fisted
drinker, although n e yer a
drunkard, Donlin was the life
of the party, held the center of
the stage. There never was a
duh moment. He told a story
better than he knew, struck a
neat barber shop chord with a
pleasing voice, played practical
jokes, was a great kidder.
DoHlin was one of John
McGraw'S favorite players and
we'll ne should have been, With
the immortal pitcher, ChriSty
MatheWSon, he helped make the
Giants a power.
A left-hand batter and throw
er standing five feet nine and
weighing los pounds, Donlin
was one of the top hitters of the
period, SWatted long ball,
knew what it was all about.
Pep personified and a fighter
from way back, he was of fair
speed, had the knack of getting
around the bases. He was a ball
hawk in center field and a
strong and accurate arm swung
from his shoulder.
BROKE IN AS A PITCHER
Donlin was born in Erie, Pa,
where as a yOungster he at
tracted attention as a pitcher
while working at his trade,
which was that of a machinist.
OF a rowing disposition, Don
lin drifted TO southern Califor-
MIA, where he southpawed for
the Los Angeles club in 1897.
In 1898-99, he pitched and bat
ted the Santa Cruz club TO a
place among the leaders, was
purchased by the St. Louis Ma
tionalS.
He did not make good as a
pitcher and did not keep in con
/ dition, but his batting, fielding
and natural ability caused ex
perts to predict he would star
He batted .40l for Santa Cruz
1929 i'm the National League.
In the years he played from
1899 to 1914, when he slumpec
to .161, Donlin batted better
than 300 in every other cam.
