Speaking of Tuesdays game the Detroit
Free Press says: 1t was the closest shave in
one of the most striking games played here
this season. A pitchers battle it might be
called. but the inf1elders were very much in
evidence. Nicholson and Hines made some
great stops, and Detroit's only error did not
count for much. Shugart took everything
that came within reach, accepting twelve
out of thirteen chances. many of them very
difficult, and his error was almost eXcusable-
throw that was a little wild on a slow
roller. ricken had excellent control of the
ball, and outside of the fatal third, when
the Tigers would have been retired without
run but for Pickett's tumble he pitched Won
derful ball, letting the gray-clad youths down
with two hits in the last six innings.
