TIGERS WON AGAIN
MONTGOMERY DEFEATED BY
 DETROIT TEAM.
Tn a Fine Exhibition of Baseball the Score Was 2 to 1-Chah
 for the Local Fans.

With bulldog tenacity and cool cour- age the Black Sox hung on to those hard hitting Tigers of Detroit yester- day afternoon, for the third time scoring on them and for the third time saving a shut out. The score was to l.
 After the downpour of rain that fell about ? o'clock everybody had despaired of game being played. but the sun broke through the clouds and an ideal spring afternoon followed.
 In less than one hour from the time that the rain had ceased the ball grounds were in as perfect condition to play on as if rain had not touched them for sev- eral days. and to the great surprise of everybody something like 2eO loyal fans including number of ladies-focked out to the grounds.
 And the fans were repaid, for they saw as fast. snappy ball game as has ever been played in Montgomery.
 The first thing that struck the local fans was the redemption of Louis Pol chow, the twirier putting up game that installed him at once favorite in innings that he pitched five hits were
 made off him, but .n one inning only were they punched. He struck out three of the heavy hitting pig leagners, three
 bases on balls, however, helped the run
 getting of Detroit He has an, abundance of speed, good judgment, and watches his bases admirably. With little more
 work he will get the control that should
 make his box work stack up with any of the pitchers in the South.
 The work of Hopkins was up to the
 high standard he set in the Sunday
 game, while the entire team played bril-
 liant ball, only one error being made
 during the nine innings.
 The work of both in and out-field has
 improved greatly, a long hit being re-
 turned from the outfield like a flash.
 while the intield works with snap. bit more team work in both departments be- ing all that is necessary.
 Only one error was made by Detroit, and the work of Kissinger and Deering was marvellous. Only one hit was made off Jack Deering in the five innings that he pitched and that was by Ike Derett in the second inning. During the four Innings that Kissinger pitched three hits
 were all that the Black Sox could get.

 either side. the feature being Clark's | work in the last half, when he threw | both Barrett and McCallister out while
