Nichols stood up well, leading the Detroits
with the stick in the first game.
Manager Lotus also trotted out a young
ster named Osteen. but this player has had
a seasons experience with the Davenport
team in the Three T. league. and he did
well at short. He played with the con-
tdence of veteran and looked good from
every angle. At the bat Osteen got only
one hit but made two mighty swipes to
left and right that made Lush and Craw-
