MONDAY, JULY 2. IMT.
This Week Tigers Will Get Last Chance Before Fall To Gain on White Son
THREE weeks of steady, sturdy baseball ran plant the Tigers on the
perch wh**rn now roost the Red Sox and the White Sox. No spec
tacular winning streak will br needed. All that will be required
i* aonie more of that conalatent two wlna in three atarta play that
featured the Tiger drive during the month of June. During the next three
weeka. Detroit will meet Chicago, Boston and New York in turn. The
Navinltea will do their battling upon the home lot thruout the preaent
crisis. The White Sox will be at home to Boston and New York, but will
visit Detroit for the Tiger tilt. Thta series will begin Tuesday afternoon.
Five games are scheduled, two of them on Wednesday. There ftiay be a
sixth game added. There la a lone hangover from the spring aeries which
was scheduled for a September date. If I*etrolt goes well against the
pacemakers, this game probably will be sandwiched Into the Thursday or
Friday program.
The following week will Sod the Red Sox In Detroit. At the same time
Boston will he at Chicago The remainder of the month will be devoted
by all hands to the harvesting of more or less soft picking, the western
clubs having a slight advantage because Boston and New York each must
take a whirl at Cleveland's Indians, who are none to easy to subdue at
times.
It is not likely tha* Boston will make up a great deal of ground on this
road trip, even tho Ruth will be back on the slab Nor Is It likely that
the Yankees will more than hold their own The White Sox may continue
to run the league ragged and pile up such a lead that the pennant race
will be a parade after the first of August. That would be fatal for Detroit,
because after ihis series, the Hose and Tigers will do little Jousting among
themselves until the autumn, and that little will avail his Bengal nibs
nothing if he is not within striking distance. The only way to
make certain that the Rowlandites will not spurt out of hailing distance
Is for Detroit to win this series at Navtn field this week.
If Tige does not win this series, there Is nothing that he can do there
after to win the pennant away from Chicago. There may be a combina
tion of circumstances that will bring the White Sox hack to earth, but that
■would be none of Tige s doings. He booted hLs big chance last week. One
more is all that he gets. Because of last week's flivver, this series cannot
bam! Detroit an edge on Chicago All a sweeping triumph can do will be to
keep Chicago from pretty definitely eliminating Detroit. This same thing
will be true of the Boston series next week It likewise will be true of the
New York series week after next. If the Tigers should capture all three
of these groups of encounters, however, and play at Chicago is reasonably
oven, the Tigers would be likely to find themselves in second place at the
end of the month, or so near to second place that they would be very satis
factorily placed for the home stretch drive
The Team Is Ready.
NOW is the time The Tigers never will be in better shape to start
something than they are right now For the first time this season,
an American league club has a batting average that Is approximate
|v what would he expected of a first division club In this league
This club is Detroit. The Tiger clouting average this morning was 254,
the high mark of the season for the league and well in advance of anything
the rest of the circuit has to offer The team is hitting well up and down
the line Bush is back around the .250 mark, which where Donle lived
■when he was a star on attack. Burns is on the upgrade Vitt is helping
for the first time this year Cobb still Is a wild man with that flail of his
Veach Is the Clouting Bobby of old. Spencer and Stanage both are bat
ting well. Best of all. Harry Heilman at last has come thru as a 3ftft bats
man This morning the gentlemanly Coaster was recorded as paddling the
apple for an average of 311. the highest mark he over owned at this stage
of a major league season.
The pitching is uniformly good It broke bndlv in the second game
Sunday, but that means nothing That the Tigers were able to score seven
tallies after Sothoron had acquired an eight tally lead in the sixth is a tip
off that conditions were not normal The slabbing collapse can be blamed
on the terrific heat that beat down upon the park thruout the long, sultry
afternoon Fielding suffered equall> with the flinging That game was no
test of ability. The club as a whole never will be in better condition to
beat back the three pace makers than it will he during the three weeks
that are ahead If the Tigers don't rash now particularly against Chicago
—there need be no anxietv among the bugs regarding the little matter of
world series accommodat ions at Savin field.
Just now the Jungaleers are three games behind New York, eight de
cisions back of Boston, and nine skirmishes to the rear of the flying Chi
cagoots. It is ver\ likely tha* a Tiger triumph over Comiskev's entrv this
week would hand the lead bark to Boston Then Tige would have to knock
the Red Box down for the second time this year All the fireworks this
month aren't d.ved for the Fourth.
Congratulations For Ty.
IT I.S OCR pleasant duty to recall that T. Cobh will attempt this afternoon
to get a base hit or two. This is particular!) significant because Mr.
Cobb has hit «afelv in each of the la.sf 30 games that he has played,
thus breaking all modern major league records for consistent blngle
banging except one of 40 straight games, established by himself In 1911.
The las* record to go overboard was that of 29 games, which Zarh Wheat
created last fall The I’each has made 55 hits for 92 bases during his
run this netting him a batting average of 4fift and a slugging average of
.780, Incidentally, the Wallopping Jewel from Georgia has boosted his
season's grand average up to 3RI He is shooting at 390 That is the
gap he wants to hold this season, and onre he Is there, he will Invite
Speaker to Join in the festivities, providing the pace appeals to the Texan
Another swafster note of vital Interest has to do with Bill James Bill
made only three base hit* all last season That was a normal campaign
for hint But this same Mr. James has manufactured all of six base hits
before this season is half over, and he Is glorying in the astounding average
of .286 Give the big hnv credit He's making base hits grow where none
ever flourished before.
Jimmy Callahan Is thru Hans Wagner Is managing the Tiratea Cal
lahan Is a smart baseball man He failed twice with the White Sox and
once with the Pirates because he never had the confident of his men. He
felt It necessarv to be upstage at all times His exclusiveness and haughty
air led his plaver* to believe that he thought he was better than they Cal
lahan Is out because he has been too much of a snob.

ihe continuous showers turned the
nnle track at the State Fair
Grounds Into a mass of mud they
will be started by Ray Harroun.
Fred J Wagner, who has been !
selected as atarier for the match i
race*, notified ihe fair management |
yesterday afternoon that he would
be prevented from attending and
Marling the postponed speed events
•;.« a previous engagement—the hand- i
ling of the lug gasoline derby on
the Omaha speedway that he could
not card Interfered
Harroun was immediately nom
inated for tho post of starter by
De Palma, and OldtJeld readily coin
cided with his selection The fair
officials were happy that there was
no friction bet ween ihe two noted
and nervy speed kings in this mat
ter it being the first question on
which they both have readily agreed
—as the word of the starter must
; h« regarded as the inviolable law by
the contestants and it is a certainty
that since they both fhvored Har
roun they would be slow about dis
puting any of his rulings.
Harroun immediately accepted the
honor his two close friends had
conferred'upon him.
If the races had been run off as
scheduled at the fair ground* yes
terday, Oldfield would have shipped
IPs two Mvift speed creations —his
, "Golden Eagle" and his "Delage
Devil"—to Omaha. Neb, that he
ruighi participate in the classic pro
cram for its speedway on Jul> 4
Barney was more than eager to
have clashed with his oldtime rival
—De Palma yesterday afternoon
end would have taken any sort of
a chance to have had the speed pro
gram pulled off us per schedule. His
antagonist Ralph De Palma how
ever, was Just as eager to have the
contests postponed And he had a
good reason His unwillingness to
participate in races on the Sabbath.
When Ralph agreed to race here on
July 1, he was under the impression
that that date fell on a Saturday
Aftei he arrived in Detroit and
found th>V the races were billed foV
SundaV he vigorously objected De
Palma for two days refused to listen
to all overtures made him to wave
aside his objection* to Sunday rac
ing But flnalh, after those desir
ing to win his consent and to pull
nil sorts of string* and brine pow
erful influence* to hear upon him. he
said that he would chance death on
Sunday. His delight was obvious to
all. when it was decided to postpone
until July 4
Barnoi and Ralph are planning to
«pend part of the time this after
noon and tomorrow afternoon in
practicing for their Independence

Victory For Detroit Is
Needed To Avert
Split
BT 1 nns, July s.—The aucceaa
: of the Tiger invasion of St. I/vtls
depends upon the result o f Monday #
game, which w ill close the series. A
victory will give Detroit four vic
tories in six game#. That will b«
very satlsfactorv. A defeat will
mean an even br*«ak. which will not
suit the purposes of Mr. Jennings
in any respect. Dauss is expected
»o pitch against the Rrowns this aft
ernoon Kooh may oppose him If
I Koob does. Dauss should win This
, arrangement will leave Ooveleskle
! to open against Chicago In Detroit
1 Tuesday afternoon
The Tigers are anxlou# to get out
IRt IjOiils. The heat has been ter
rific and several of the athletes
have been well nigh out They
aren't accustomed to such weather.
The weird brenk at the end of Sun
\ day’s second game is attributed en
tirely to the hens. which caused
pitchers and defensive players to
wilt Young was unable to play at
all Sunday Bobby Jones took his
place and did very well. His fleld-
Ing was good and his batting more
than good
The first game Sunday was a reg
ular tilt Bernie Boland and Ernie
Hamilton engaged In a* pretty a
hurling duel as ever set fans on
edge. Bernie had an edge all the
way. because in the third Jones
walked and scored on Severeid’s
bad throw The Browns never did
score.
Hamilton blew in the ninth and
his team mates soared with him
Heiltnann opened with a single and
Burns crashed into a triple Jones
got an infield single. Pratt’s error
on Stanage filled the bases Burns
tallied on Boland’s grounder, and
1 Jones cajne In on Bush’s sacrifice
fly Vitt squeezed Stanage home.
' Stanage really was quite a hero. He
had achieved third by a burst of
speed while the Brownies were fuss
ing with the return of the ball after
Bush had turned In his sacrifice fly.
