partments. the Tigers managed
to get an even break with the
Orioles at the local park yesterday
afternoon, thus giving them four out
or six games from Dunn's flock In four
days. The first contest went to the
3 to 2. It was a pitchers duel
between Lefty Russell. the alleged
beauty. and Bob Holmes. Luck
was with the visitora.
Kid Mueller and I'd. Donneliy were
the opposing boxmen In the second.
For eight innings the Tiger was mas
ter of the situation, but in the ninth
showed signs OF weakening, and
Manager McGinnity threw out the life
line and Wyatt Lee, the hero Of two
other games in the series, went to the
rescue in fine style.
There were sidelights on the game
galore. Walsh and Lee made sensa-
tional catches. Sch1af1y and Louden
did yeoman service at their respective
stations. while Mcssrs. Zimmerman and

the ball. Hughey Hearne was on first

things. The wise guy gave Schlafy a
call for not stopping a ball that was
hit about as hard as one would want
to see walloped. Then he yelled at Nc

A feature of the afternoon was the
