siee BALTIMORE, July 14.-Withsa an even
"a break since going on the road, the
Tigers, face a double-header, with their
J dearest enemies. the Orioles, today.
lT Yesterdays game was a o u pure and
eo simple eaud it seemed a shame to lose
I ethe e decision just when everything
pointed to an easy victory
BY dropping the game the Tigers also
dropped from second place and
pasaw went to fourth, Being tied with Provi-
sSifdelloe by virt1e6of the latterss defeat
snof 9 the Shelters. = Buffalo now has a
11aaatwo-gamei lead oyer US for second wit1
Baltimore just a shade to the good.
But ,Baltimore's advantage can nel
sxgyiped out, today by winning the double

second place again.
The race is so close that percentage
alone counts, position being a change
able virtue, each day seeing a shift in
the places occupied by the various
teams. In all probability Mueller and
Parkins will be assigned to the pitch
ing duty, with Flater as an outside
change. Stanley and Schmidt, the two
left-handers, stand a good chance of
doing the honors for Baltimore and
both nave shown rare form in recent
games. SO there will be two good bat
ties.
schmidt is sure to pitch. and If Stanley
isn't chosen Tor the other game, Aleck
Pearson will be called upon. This is Il
double-header city. and there is always a
good crowd at the bargain matinees. in

will probably have a large time guarding

McGinnity will probably remain quiet for
a week and get well rested, as he was

Jack Frill is expected to work again
