Jad Ryan Holds IgdS
Hit.Ss for Three Innings

Once more Mr.. Jack Ryan, formerly
OF Mt. Clemens, more lately OF Gulf
port, most recently OF all from New
Orleans, now OF Cleveland showed
himself the man Of the hour when 1t
came to the heaving out OF the life
line Entering the box as he has So
often after one OF his mates has been
hammered OF 1t, Ryan pitched the
finest sort OF ball. not Tiger so much
as making first base off his offerings
during the three innings In which he
occupied the slab. Ryan's under-hand
ball was working finely. and his fast
one was placed wherever Grover
Land called for It.
Quite number OF Detroiters who
In former summers have haunted the
Mt. Clemens ball yard In afternoons OF
leisure when the Tigers were on the
road, recognized Ryan and gave him
the glad hand which he so certainly
deserved.
Some day Ryan will blossom out
as a starter as we'll as a stopper, II
his present form goes for anything.

good hitting and some considerable
luck, succeeded in taking game
