Detroit's victory was clean and de-
cisive. Jones used three pitchers,
White, Walsh and Smith, but could
not subdue the Detroits. Donovan
pitched the kind of ball that Will win
almost any game. His team mates
coming first to bat lent him confidence
in the initial inning by knocking White
out of the box and putting four runs
over the plate.
Donovan's manner was confident as
he faced the Chicago hatsmen. and
inning after inning. with calmness
