an error and In addition hit Tom Hughes
so hard in the early part Of the game
that the tall boy had enough in the
fourth and gave way to Bert Kelley.

this season and apparently had everything
yesterday. but there wasn't anything that
he served up that the Tigers didn't take
a liking to and hammer lard.

as Mcintyre had just laced single into
center and Dutch Schaefeer got away
with hit, but Kelley struck out Craw-
ford and Cobb followed with a hit. Once
out Of this hole, Kelley pitched splendid
ball. the Tigers getting but two hits in
the last five innings and not scoring an
additional run.

Tigers and the big fellow was in fine
shape. serving the ball up with light
ming speed and from all appearances he
simply toyed with the local batsmen.
