IS I'm the power OF the Detroit Tigers
10 step into second place by defeat
ing Cleveland in both games OF the

sweep their opponents off the

back In their old position at the

That the van is the spot where
the Champions belong is the
steadfast belief Of every one OF

Still more to the point. this
view is shared in their heart Of

expert, regardless Of prejudice.
Such baseball as the Tigers have
shown since taking the road this
time is the real championship
article.
And the long series with the east

However. mathematical possibili'
ties are by no means positive GER
tainties. Far from IL, In fact Dou-
ble-headers between teams as evenly
matched as the Tigers and Maps are

should be the case. IL form is adhered

were located on Thirteenth street,
and with them were two young
girls, one IL and the other about 16
years old. The girls were sent to
the county hospital until their par
entage could be learned.
The Ross woman came from Chey-
enne about ten days ago. Saturday
three merchants from Cheyenne were
here in an effort to collect bills from
her, ranging from $50 to 500. One
of them claims that she brought
with her some mortgaged property.
If the officials can prove the guilt OF
the women in regard to the young
girls, it will probably go hard with
them. The Ross woman is known
in Cheyenne by the name of Mary
Bush. The children give the names
Of Hazel and Evangeline Miller, but
