They can't field.
The pitchers are bad.
These are some of the things that
are not true of the local ball club.
Playing splendid ball. with four
wobbles during the afternoon, but
handful of Westerners roped and hog
tied Mr. H. Jennings Tigers yester-
day afternoon during a severe wind
storm and cold wave at League park.
The contest ended in the ninth inning,
both sides having batted and failed to
change the score And because of the
showing Hughey has promised to
come back and have it out with us
next year.
For remember that we batted their
pitchers for total of eight swats,
only four of which were for extra bags
and three of which were triples. And
the DetrOH manager used three
pitchers on us.

for this one. Jack Fugate, whose adj

"R. f. d. held the champs of the
American league to six bingles in five
innings and they scored only three
runs off him. He showed a world of
control in the pinches and that is
what registers with Manager Cooley
and the fans. Also Fugate made sew

know what is meant by that. "Matty"
Mcintyre lost his goat to Cooley early
in the game and couldn't do anything.
He tried twice to find Fugate's siz-
zlers but was not equipped properly
for this occupation. Others tried
equally hard but there was nothing
doing.
Johnny Kunkle hit one of those
around-the-world rifle shots where
there wasn't someone during the con-
test and passed three checking stations
before the ball was located. Butcher"

But Mr.. Fugate's performance was

Pitcher Jackson, late of Pueblo, is
in our city. He arrived at the ball
park yesterday and pitched the last
half of the game against the Michigan

pleased with himself for his initial
showing. He also has something which
makes 'em strike at the wrong ball.
The champs made it two to nothing
in the first inning. Mcintyre drew
three woozey ones and had to be
awakened by Cooley and led away |
from the plate. Bush hit and regis |

was Delehantied for two sacks. Nor |

a mile high over first base. Ness hit

The locals landed two body blows

try it again.
