The Tigers have won two games
out OF the last six played at Wash

combats were won of left-handed
pitchers. Furthermore. these two
ieft-handers were the only ones who
had toiled against them during the
period mentioned.

What the Doctor Ordered.

left-handers than they did against ths

This year they are repeating the trick.

Jennings Peculiar Strategy.
Jennings yesterday peeled off a
piece OF strategy which must be con
coded as a pippin. In the face OF
the fact that Eddie Summers had
been hit hard on both his prior an
pearsnces and opposed as Eddie was
by the wellnigh invincible Plank, Jen-
nings gave Summers a pat on the
back. told him he knew he could turn
the trick and shunted him out onto
the firing line This procedure seem
