Tige Between Satanic Majesty and Deep Sea, With Browns Behind and Sox to Beat
Till: I I ' - lull II 11 111 111 II- I nil In I II 'll I 111 WMW ' ■ .....
the pennant rare Chicago couldn’t stand the gaff when the Red
So* came to battle for the lead. The Carrigant'ers outganted Hnd
outplayed the Pale Hose and dumped them cleur to third place.
Now route the Tigers for three games. No finer sort of club could be
picked than the Jungaleers to take care of the White Sox at this par
tlculur time The) are fast and hard hitting, and If they should rip through
the Sox as they did Ihsl year, they could break the spirit of Corniskey’s
entry. Immediately after this Tiger series, Chicago must go to Boston,
m again meet the club that has Just mauled them so unmercifully.
Two weeks of disaster Just aa they reached the lead w mild put the Sox In
exactly the same position they found themselves gracing last year at this
tune. There would he little chance of them bothering again.
As for the Tigers thev must do something at Chicago or get stepped
on themselves. They are In the first division, only three and half games
from the White Sox and five games from the lead That places them well
for the last swing around the circuit. Hut the Hrowna are only half a
game behind, and if they should reach the Itrst division before the) go
c.i*t, there Is a hlg probability that they will not be dislodged, it la up
to the Tigers to keep the Browns back and to do It they must tear through
Chicago nd win that Monday game front Cleveland. If they cam do all
this. It ,1s likely that tin* strain will he relieved by that time and all that
will b< asked will be another Jog through tlia orient similar to the last one.
Let the Browns Win
THERE Is no us* feeling badly about the Browns They have done
Hit I'tgcrs signal service b' crimping New York and Washington
i :übs which lie*roii must meet shortly and which they will find
badl' disorganized. Moreover. Cleveland is pushing close to the
,vd spit there la r*.■ > an# mason to object to It l.outs ttodlni the
Indians ha> kto the reservation The ideal program is *c keep the Browns
» tuning f**r a w title. but the T.gej s must s.pin along, too. If they are to rash
in on the amazing b r esk which has come to the pennant race.
All baseball optics will be blinking toward St. Louis today. This is
the da. whi.h will find 'he Browns in tin Itr-t division, according to
Fielder Jones' famous prophecy a month ug<« N**w York Is passed. All
that is necessary for Jones to cash his blue chips is to beat the Indians,
and for < hirago to beat the Ttg. rs Tin* Tigers will regret It if they lose
today, but w. II say Jon* ■•> has a great chalice to make good
The Speed of Cobh
THIUM'C.UOt T the baseball world there is gossip of Cobb Mowing up.
Chit has been tin deftest nonsense, foi T> Is having so much
1 11 >uh|e hitting th* hall into safe territory that he is keeping his
:. \< t ,<gi up solely through his ability to b.-at out infield bounders
and bunts No less than half hi-* hits this season have been of that sort.
Ty took it into his h**ad yesterday to forevet silence his slanderers. He
drove a hall * •t' that was so low that it nicked the outstretched digits
of the Mm kiati third baseman It tore on s line down the foul line, bumped
the grand stand and rlrnrhrti.d to the wall, where It was pursued by Pick
and snared on tht first bound. Pick made a beautiful throw to the plute.
This blow usually is good foi n two bagger on Navln field Barely it goes
for s triple Cobb’s hit was unusualh fast Yet Ty was rounding third
when I'lck caught the ball, and Jogged home, arriving standing up ahead
of th* throw There never was a faster sprint from home to third in
baseball
The Prettiest Play of All.
ONE OF the prettiest playw in baseball Is the one where the flrst
ba.•email rttrn veii a ground hit ball, and the pitcher rushes over
th. b.g. «i »gs the hall on the run and scores a putout a step ahead
of a fast i tinner It is not the easiest play in the game. When
George Burns wa- op. rated upon foi appendicitis hiul It fell to Marty
kavanach to guard the first turn for the Tigers until George could recover,
most of his time was spent in learning this one play. For hours at a
stretch th» Jersey Adonis and Manager Jenning** would caper about the
bag. t lining, th** in-*. mi that it w ould leach the bag just before the plteher
did. Most plays In baseball are slam Iwing affairs, but this toss from the
first baseman to th.* snauing pitcher must be timed as accurately as the
soaring of a .-winging trap. /<• team in a ctr* us
What we started to *>hv. however. Is that this play la one of the con
tributions of i harb-y t omiskey to the game Now days Comlskey is known
as a prosperous inagnat* who will spend anv price for a ball player who
might -or. ngthep his Hub Even I* than a generation ago he was one of
the games greatest player* Vs a first baseman he has had few peers.
And it was lie who first conceived 'lie notion that the first sarker could
better serve hi* club by playing a <>rt of short right field. His Idea was
so n**w that one dav. when he took bis Browns to Pittsburgh to play. Hon
est John Kelley, th** fanioti* umpirr, refused to start a game because he
thought < onusUcy w« n't r* i<B I* ’.»»»U a long time to explain to the
arbiter that "« nmmy" merely had discovered anew position. Os course It
was legal, and it wasn't long before it was adopted generally.
Pitchers Didn’t Like It.

Tigers in Chicago, Full ot
Pep and Ready to Spurt
Coveleskie Slated to
Hurl the First
Game
CHICAGO, Aug 11. The Tigers
arc her** to start their last long trip
around the American league. Be
fore returning they will play every
club except Bt. Loui.s, one game at
Clev eland count mg as a series this
time. This Joust is scheduled for
Monday. For the past two months
it has been the experience of th"
Tigers that the western games Just
preceding an invasion of the east
are disastrous, but they are del.*r
mined to suffer no such setback at
this time The Browns are sini;**
il'g their backs anil the White Box
ar** ti»o much flustered by the beat
tits they got from Boston to be uu
usually formidable, and the Junga
leers are certain that they can take
tills series. They are very anxious
»o beat Cleveland, also, for th*- In
titans are too dose to the lead to
keep rivals from worrying
Coveleskie probably will pitch to
day. Dauss also la ready and I
slaied for his supreme efTort of the
summer during this series. Every
effort has been made to get hint into
a frame of mind that will enable
hint to work at fop speed. James.
Boland or Mitchell will hurl the
picking, but the 'l ig.-rs showed a lot
other game, unless relief work
should make it necessary to
Dubuc. It Is hard to say who Row
land will use, for he has been com
pelled to Juggle bis staff a lot re
cently. Faber or Wolfgang are like
ly flingers.
There were a lot of encouraging
thing* about the game with the Ath
letics yesterday. Williams was soft
picking, but the Tig* is showed a lot
of braint baseball. I hey picked
hoiea and took advantage of th.nt
In great style. They bunted at.d
stole bases and hit hard and did
everything according to Hoyle, and
the game was a good pepper s*-s
sion to precedi th»* Chicago games.
Typos To St. Paul.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind . Aug. 11.—
St. Paul will hold the Cnion Print
ers' national baseball tournament
next year, the commission has de
