The Detroit times., 1910-05-18


Up to date the Tiger-Fed Sox series
has been a repeat for the New YORK
series which opened the eastern In
ynsion. In both cities the Tigers won
the first game and dropped the next
two In New York they also coppea
the finale. II remains TO be seen what
they win do in Boston.
When the Champions hit Boston. j.
WAS apparent that both teams were
going a trife badly. Boston scribes
iwere apprehensive that the Detroit
fers would come back TO their best
form suddenly and take the whole
sheries. They had little hope OF their
Town warriors recovering. Instead, IL
has been the Red Sox who have
REACHED their best form. They have
taken two out OF three by the hard
lest kind Of batting. So far they have
hooked over all OF Jennings pitchers
iexcept Summers and have failed TO
hit against only Null nand Donovan.
So far, the western teams have
lbeen showing very badly in the inter
sectional games. Cleveland alone has
IA fair sort OF record, due TO the fact
that but two games went to decision
Nm the Naps-Athletic series and that
jNcGuire's men have since been op-
lposing the washington team. They
Iare now In a position where single
leame would put them again In az
Evance OF the Tigers. Cleveland goes
Iagainst New York next while the
Tigers are playing In Philadelphia
ESQ that the chances OF a further mar
lxin growing between the two clubs
Ne lessened, the Yankees being a hard
beam for anybody to beat just now.
/ That lead of the Athletics over the
fTfgers is now a matter of 1-2 games,
making II almost certain that Mack's
lmen will come west at the top OF the
league. Even IL the Tigers win the
series In the Quaker series, the pres
emit leaders have the Browns to re-
..Cuperate on at the end Of the invasion.
Tuesdays Horrible Example.
THAT game OF Tuesday was the kind
TO make you pu: your hands in front
OF your eyes. Fortunately, IL is not
the sort OF thing that happens often.
The victors can take no pride In 1t.
under all the circumstances and the
losers can console themselves by the
1nct that an accident decided the az
fair.
Il is not often that a team which
makes only four hits has to distribute
its patronage among three twirlers.
That Is one OF the queer angles OF the
game. Collins. the southpaw, who
beat US last year, was batted on the
mound by the Champs. Hall, who sue
ceeded him, had q sore arm and Wood
finished the game In clean style. All
a. Nnl1 TAx
nings used two men and. while Kill
liam was genuinely ineffective, Brown
ing deserves more credit than he will
set since only ill-luck caused him 10
De scored upon at all.
Starting with fve-run lead, the
Tigers were first caught, then drew
out a. run to the good and finally lost
on poor fielding. The bad slip came
IN the third inning. This started with
lkilIian hitting Carrigan In the ribs
with the ball. Hall and Hooper sin
R1cd, the latter's hit scoring carrigan.
Lord sacrificed and Stahl drove line
~ 70 center. Sam Crawford was play
ing well back and, as he came tearing
IN to get the drive. he struck slip
perry spot, fell and thus allowed
&tAhle drive 10 90 for a home run
when IL would ordinarily have been
IN easy out. That decided the game.
Bush singled in the first inning.
stole second and came all the way
home on Crawford's infield single, Car
rigan mufing the throw to the plate to
get DOME. The second inning was the
big one from Tiger standpoint. With
Aoriarty and Simmons on second and
third as the result OF safe taps and
mn error, and two out, Davy Jones
