4 LII teams look alike to the Tigers
That sounds strong, but It's
true. When one. stops to con-
slider the fact that since the Bengais
returned home after a disastrous trip
on the road they haye not lost a series.
Buffalo tied them, but all the other
clubs, Toronto, Rochester. Montreal,
Baltimore, also Jersey City, got the
short end of the series. The Tigers
have undertaken to hand the same
treatment to Jimmy Collins's Provi-
dence nine. and they started in prop
erly yesterday by handing them a 4-to-1
defeat. It was a pretty start. As To-
ronto lost, the MeGinniyites now have
a lead of eighty points. Despite that
fact but 500 loyal fans turned out yes
terday to witness the game. Even
when Wally Burnham had his fifty
seven varieties the attendance was

before that many.

hits. was all he allowed. and a pair of
errors assisted the visitors in securing
their only run. His control was perfect
and he kept his head on his shoulders
throughout.
Jimmy Lavender was the opposing
finger. and everything he served up
was just as sweet as dessert for the
ferocious Tigers. IT'S tru the visitors

Phelan and Arndt, all Of whom are on
the down and out list. But the Tigers
are also crippled.
Jimmy, who has been a terror since
