Manager Jennings achieved this re-
suit with change in his lineup.
Downs was put on the bench and
Schaefer, who is at home in almost
any position, was shifted from third
to second base, Coughlin occupying the
third sack. This shakeup, however,
cannot be said to have had any ma
terial effect in winning the game, for
neither Schaefer nor Coughlin got a
hit, while Coughlin bungled one of
his two chances.
Despite the fact that the sun shone
brightly, only 14,543 paid admissions
were registered, netting total receipts
of $22.763.

champions captured the second game
of the present series to 1.
Detroit's hopes, which were high
after seven innings in which Chicago
had made. only one hit, were dashed
in the eighth. In that sensational
portion of the game Donovan was hit
for home run, triple, double and
three singles. Incidentally he walked
one man and allowed another to score
on wild pitch. Overall, on the con.
trary, was steady throughout the
game, holding the Tigers to four hits
and one run. That run marked De-
troits despairing effort in their half
of the ninth.
The attendance, due largely to the
chilly weather, was only 17,760 paid
admissions, according to the official
figures made public after the game.
The gross receipts were $26,927.
