August 11, 1935 Tigers 4, White Sox 1 (66-37)

Elden Auker held the third place White Sox to a mere four hits as the Tigers won their ninth in a row and their fourteenth in the their last sixteen games.

Charlie Gehringer had three of the Tigers six hits, and one of those singles drove in two runs. Unfortunately he hurt his knee and he might miss some time. Elden Auker drove in a run with a double and Marv Owen had one RBI and one run.

The win gave the Tigers a nice six game lead over the Yankees. A lot would be determined in a week when the Yankees came into town for a four game series
