ATHLETICS CLAIM THAT

Base Running Of Tiger Opponents Due
to Detroit Pitchers Failure to
Mind StanaQe.

Though the Detroit forces are dis
cretely client over the causes con-
tributing TO the base running bee in
which the Athletics engaged In the
opening game Of the series. the Ath-
ietics make no secret Of the fact that
the direct cause was the long lead
which Edgar gave the runners. sup.
plemented by the alleged failure OF The
pitcher to follow out Stanage's direc-
lions.
IF he crossed Stanage once In the
game he did IL Is times" said Thomas.
the Philadelphia catcher Il felt sorry
for Stanage. for he wasn't at all to
blame. We'd get those long leads and
then he'd lose what chance he had
TO catch us because he'd be grabbing
for a curve and get straight one or
vice-versa."
Thomas insists that Krause was not
given due credit for his excellent work
by the morning papers.
He's just as good as his record"
says Ira. I'm Is innings the Detroit
club has hit him for two runs. and
that ought to spike any stories about

Krause himself bears his laurels
modestly and insists that there is no

Althea happened to be looking at Alicia and she
surprised little start at the mention of the sub

under the wheels the slate-bue eyes were clouded
and faint flush and went in the fair neck
and cheek. Althea wondered why, but at that mo-
ment the chime of the $40 sounded for station and
she rose to go forward with Brockton and the
general manager
With the highest executive authority of the COM

The experience proved something less than excit-

the big engine labored up the hills and around the
lodging curves rather faithfully than spectacularly
When she had grown somewhat accustomed to
the novelty, and had found the approaching scenic
procession much like inversion Of the view from
the Nadla's observation windows, Althea began to
take note OF her more immediate surroundings; to
make mental notes. and to wonder how she might
pour little OF the oil of kindness into the broad
sword slashes of the vice-presdent

But afterward she remembered that the solemn

he had brought the engine to shuddering stand at
