TIG EffiUP LEAD
Wakefield Leads Attack as
Detroit Cops the Second
Game of Crucial Series.
The "Gray Mask," one of
wrestling's most disliked char
acters, makes his southern Ore
gon debut in the armory tonight
against the Pacific coast light
heavyweight champion, popular
Jack Kaiser. They meet in the
one-hour, two-out-of-three fall
main event of a program that has
two other fine bouts on the slate.
Like the top contest, the mid
dle go and the curtain-raiser will
both pit a clean and scientific
operator against an opponent
who doesn't care what he does
just so he wins.
Paavo Katonen, the powerful
Finn who used to own the coast
light-heavy title (until he met
Kaiser), will tangle with Harold
(Buck) Davidson in the four
round center attraction.
Ratan In Opener
Silent Ratan, deaf mute and
clever as all get out, will face
Pat (Rowdy) O'Dowdy in the
three-heat opener. O'Dowdy is
no mat angel.
Little is known of "Gray
Mask" except that he met-with
a great deal of success during
a recent campaign in California.
where he toppled grappler after
grappler with his unorthodox
tactics. He weighs some 185 j

Kaiser, one of the greatest
clean grapplers in the game.
Isn't worried too much about
the hooded citizen but he real

tough evening's work. Kaiser has
met and defeated many matmen
of the same type as the "mask"
and he knows he can do it again.

New York, Sept. 21 CUR)
Frank (Stubby) Overmire of the
Detroit Tigers, a little man with
a long memory, awaited his
chance today to gain, revenge
against the New York Yankees
a chance he has awaited for
a year.
The Yankees are reeling on
their heels now, all but mathe
matically out of the American
league pennant race, but things
were different last season when
Overmire, a rookie pitcher, per
mitted them to clinch the flag.
The 5-foot, 7-inch Dutchman,
didn't want to be the "fall-guy"
and he battled the Bronx Bomb
ers 14-inings before losing 2 to
1 nt Yankee stadium.
The fact that he pitched cred
itably and lost to the league's
best hurler. Spud Chandler,
didn't minimize his bitterness.
He wanted revenge and today
the situation is reversed. The
Tigers aren't going to clinch the
penant yet but no matter
what the Yankees do, they aren't
likely to be the team to beat
them out of it.
Presuming that the Tigers are
due for a slump and that they
may play no better than .500
baseball in their remaining 12
games, which isn't likely, the
Yankees now four games behind
would have to win 10 out of 12
to tie them and 11 out of 12 to
win. The case of the Boston Red
Sox is even more hopeless. Six
games off the pace they would
have to win all 12 of their re
maining games to tie the Tigers
if Detroit broke even and
couldn't win under any circum
stances unless the league leaders
dropped below ,.500.
Tough For Browns
Even the second place St.
Louis Browns have a tough row
to hoe. They would have to win
seven out of 11 games to tie the
Tigers and there is no reason
to think the league leaders are
going to drop to a .500 pace
when they have won 10 of their
last 12 games.
Paul (Dizzy) Trout, one of the
Tiger "victory twins," got in his
licks against the Yanks yester
day, beating them 8 to 2 in his
25th victory and his sixth
straight against the world cham
pions this year. It was the sec
ond straight Tiger victory over
the Yankees, and their ninth de
feat in 10 tries at Briggs stadium
this year. Outfielder Dick Wake
field, who has made 25 hits in
his last 50 times at bat, started
Trout off to victory with an in-side-the-park
homer in the sec
ond off Rookie Mel Queen, who
lost his second game after five
victories for the Yanks.
The Browns kept their ebbing
hopes alive by beating the Wash
ington Senators 5 to 2.
Cleveland outlasted Boston,
winning 11 t 10 in the 13th by1
scoring two runs in its half after j
the Red Sox had scored once. I
Chicago made all its runs in
the seventh to defeat the Phila
delphia A's 6 to 1. J
Pittsburgh kept intact its slim
chance to tie St. Louis in the
National by beating Brooklyn 2j
to 1 while the Cards were rain-'
ed out at Boston. I
The Philadelphia Phillies
established their longest winning!
streak of the year, six straight,
by beating Cincinnati 3 to 2 in
the opener of a double header,
but Bucky Walters came back
to win the second for the Reds
6 to 4, picking up his 22nd victory.
