version of the miX-up with Jones. Inas-

and he will undoubtedly be on the field
again today. That this seems certain is
indicated by the fact that Jones was fined

not going to help him in the least.
Red Killifer. while he is showing
some improvement with the bat, is not

he gets back home he will surprise the
fans with the Improvement in his field

rapidly. though still trifie weak at COW

league, and he is showing daily improve

Clyde Milan was the hero of yesterdays
game. He made two wonderful catches,
which undoubtedly kept the score of the
Tigers down. got two hits, scored three
runs and walked once.
Milan's star play came in the very first
inning. Johnson had walked Bush, after
striking out Mcintyre, and Cobb got hit.
This brought Crawford up and he sent a
line drive to short center. There did not
seem to be a chance for Milan to get the

threw to second in time to double up
Bush. Milan was cheered all the way in
from the field.
In the fourth inning he robbed Craw-
ford of a home-run drive when he ran
far out into center and pulled down his
long drive. Milan is the most improved
ball player over his last years form in
the league. and at the present gait he will
have tObe considered one of the best out
fielders in the league at the end of the
season.
Johnson struck out eight of the Tigers
and gave but one base on balls and this
was probably the result of a mistake on
the part of Perrine. Perrine, by the way.
complained during the game to the play
ers that he did not like to umpire behind
Johnson. as it was impossible TO follow
his balls with the eye. The shoots which
his fast ball takes make it very difficult
for an umpire to gauge correctly. and as
result numerous errors occur in the de-
ciSionS of balls and strikes.
Either GRAY or Oberlin will do the
pitching against the Sox today an dit is
likely that Doc White will do the twirling

Lelivelt's safe bunt, Gessler's sacrifice
and Unglaub's out gave the Nationals
their first run.
In the third they got another. Milan

Clyde took second. Leivelt's out put him

sacrifice fly.
In the fifth II looked as if the Tigers
would tie the score. Schmidt got a
scratch hit and Donovan followed with
clean one. and both moved up on Milan's
