will be united family. Friday, AS
sistant Manager Bill Donovan and his
squad. consisting OF the colt lnnelu
and veteran outfield. starts away on
its tour OF the southern towns. not TO
Join the other squad until day or so
before the start OF the pennant race.
Thursday is the day OF great inter
est for the teams In that the Kittens
play the Regulars for the club title.
Perroll and Works. pitchers and
Casey and Stanage, catchers. are the
battery forces for the Kittens. That
IL will be the hardest.play game OF
the southern series so far, everyone
agrees.
The Veterans won from San An
tonic by TO score, "Wednesday,
thus getting their first victory or the
season. But the result, while VIC
tory. has started a lot or arguments.
The Kittens claim that the glory Is
really due to the achievements re-
ceived from rheir team. claiming Nc
Intyre, Casey and Stroud as their
quota. This matter will furnish mat
ter for debate for days TO come.
Be the argument as 1t may. the fact
Is that Detroit had no easy time dis
posing OF San Antonio. Crawford
and Mcintyre were the only gentle
men with bright batting optics and
Sans drives. with one exception. did
not assist in the run-making. There
was also a ninth inning disposition TO
play tennis with the ball. all OF which
tended TO give the San Antonio root
ers apoplexy.
Each team scored two runs in the
| first inning. ID. Jones pass, singles
| by Mcintyre and Crawford and an out
scored two for Detroit. Pope walked
| in the San Antonio half and fantz
poked a fly over that short right feld
| fence. somewhat TO the disgust OF
George Mullin, who was then doing
the Ringing. After that there was
nothing doing until the ninth, al
though events threatened now and
| then. Lelivelt showed three good In
nings and Stroud took the slab.
| Casey and Stroud got free trans
portation in the final but the former
was forced on Davy Jones knock 70
third baseman. Then Stroud stole
third and Jones second. Mcintyre fol
lowed with a hit over the fence and
Il
three runs were in.
II took sharp work to check San
Antonio. Pope hit safely but tried 10
steal and Casey doubled him on a
third strike. At this juncture. Sim
mons. Moriarty and OLeary MADE
successive errors and the bases were
loaded. Again Casey came to the
rescue, making short throw TO Bush
when the bronchos got too risky on
the sacks and getting Alexander be-
tween third and home.
Manager Jennings is making pat
ting practice the main part OF the pro
gram, the practice hurlers having In
struction TO serve every thing they
have TO the batters. This is to over
come the present weakness OF the
veterans. This has worried the little
manager. The non-appearance to
Tyrus r. Cobb is another sore disap-
pointment. Ty has been due for sew
eral days. but no word comes from
MIN.
There is a good-sized list OF suffer
ing athletes Just at present. Wiilett
has grip and Schmidt Is indisposed.
Delehanty has lumbago while Davy
Jones has q lame leg. Moriarty and
Donovan are recovering, however.
Secretary Schumm Is here TO take
charge OF the financial affairs OF the
Donovan squad while on e.e road.
