Manager/1B Pete Bucolo (41-4.1) has his Hoosiers in town to begin a 3 game series today. We are 7-0 against them on the season and swept them in a 4 game series in Indianapolis 3 weeks ago the last time we met. They are 4th in the League in scoring with 5.5 runs per game (Detroit is #3 with 6.0). They are dead last in runs allowed with 7.6 per game (Detroit is #1 with 3.7).

Indianapolis Hoosiers (22-37 .373 19.5 GB in 7th place in the Liberty League) at
Detroit Wolverines (40-16 .714 in 1st place)

Sal DeVaux, Ind. (34-3.5) (R 7-14 5.63 12.1-5.1-3.0 H/9-BB/9-SO/9) vs. Al Rice, Det. (24-7.6) (R 16-6 1.21 6.3-1.9-4.7)

We are 2-0 against our old teammate, DeVaux, so far, scoring 19 runs in the 2 games.

They call Jennings, "Fatty", but he is 5' 9", 155 lbs. There is some other reason, unknown to me, besides his stature. Maybe he likes fat girls. But I will tell you who should be called "Fatty" is Pete Bucolo. He is 5' 7", 245 lbs, now! He was stocky, even as a young man, but under 200 lbs. then.
