Quered and the baseball public
OF Detroit was left. gritting its teeth
over the way the final and deciding
game OF the series turned out
II was a game in which the visitors
took chance which the Tigers had
refused. Had Jennings substituted a
speedy runner like Jones or Moriarty

Moriarty at First
There has been some chatter to the
effect that. when Moriarty got back
into the game II would be at first base,
leaving O'Leary on third. In all proba-
bility, this is chiefly hunk.
Before finishing the sad duty Of sit
ting on the remains, II might be wise
to call the attention OF Mr. Willett TO
the fact that he has a grand under
hand curve ball. Alternating this
curve with the raise ball shot from
the same delivery, Mr.. Willett is prac-
ideally unhittable. He was yesterday.
The only trouble was that he omitted

the truth.

list here was Jake S;ahl, who never
