INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. April S.-Dur.

former Boston catcher now with the

Criger was sore and lost no time
in telling George Winter. an old'time
friend or his. that the article was
fabrication. pure and simple.
The Detroit club I've always re-
garded as the best batting team in
the game today said he Any catch

such an article right on the eve OF a
game with the team which IL had crit
icized. was likely to make considerable
trouble The Tiges don't like to be

any such arguments In a mighty con

Detroit club in general Criger made
nuch OF the fact that he is Michi-

therefore be on friendly terms with
