81 That the Tigers are playing cham

That Charlie Schmidt ie now
backstopping the grandest game
In the American league is the
statement which every Detroit
rooter is willing to fight IL neces-
sary to demonstrate.
In fine condition once more, hands
integral. ankle-bones reasonably con-
nected and throwing whip never bet

the Detroit defense. His exhibition
of throwing Saturday has never been
surpassed on Detroit field and his
backstopping was beyond reproach.
Always a good hitter, the man from
Arkansas is batting better than ever
this year
Schmidt has never been recognized
as an especially heady backstop. but
II must be remembered that he IL
still comparatively young in the big
league game. Against New York. In
both games, he has shown brain work
OF the highest sort.
Never has the writer seen
team out-auessed as was the re-
sourceful New York bunch during
these past two days. Charlie was

York ctunts before IL was pulled

block their steals and a nind-read-

II came to divinlng the intention
Of the batsman.
Round such catching as this the
Tigers pulled off fielding stunts that
startled and delighted. If SCHMIDT

BY PAUL Il. sRuske,


In two OF the most capable ball
Games turned off by a Detroit team
in the home field. the Champions
demonstrated that absence from their
home park was by no means one OF
the necessary adjuncts to success by
handily walloping the New York tail
enders by comfortable scores Satur'
day and Sunday, thereby averting any
possibility OF one OF those home-com-
Ing slumps for which they have been
famous In the past
To look at the score OF the two
games and then consider the relative
positions OF the competing clubs In
the American league. one not familiar
with the happenings on the battlefield
would be pardoned for taking the
ground that the Tigers had been tilch-
ing candy from child. Such. how
ever, was far from being the case.
WITH TYRUS COBB ELMINAT-
Ell FROM THE PROCEEDINGS
NEW YORK WOULD HAVE SURE
lily WON THE FIRST GAME AND
WOULD HAVE HAD AN EXCEL
LENT OPPORTUNITY OF COPING
IN THE SECOND.
One man stood bet wcen the Tigers
and defeat and that man was the
Georgia Peach.
On Saturday ~ battcd in four
Of Detroit's five runs and scored
the other himself. aided by MOTH
ing but an outfield fly.
On Sunday Ty batted in two OF
his comradec In the first inning
and scored himself after his own
triple. Later on in the contest he
singled. took second when Chase
made wide tos3 to Orth. went
to third on passed ball and came
home after drawing a bad throw
from Blair.
That made total OF four runs
In the Sabbath pastime in which
Ty was vitality involved. The
Tigers scored a couple Of others
themselveo.
Is IL any wonder they call him the
Georgia Peach?

LONDON. July 1s.-With the frst week OF

fessed that Ls mast striking feature has
been the desolate emptiness Of the tens Of
thousands Of seats that surround t~heigigantio

been there since and including the day the
King declared the games opened should
arrive in Q body on Monday there would stu
be room for many thousands.
Two spots only have been fairly Allied
throughout tho week. the reporters seats
on one side and the oompetitors' box on
the other. But for the enthusiasm With
which the occupants Of these boxes. espe-
cialiy tho competitors. followed the events
some Of the really fine performances would

OF empty seats were to the sight.

Most Of the spectators could only tell
