the best the Tigers
"a got in the double bill with the
Bisons yesterday was a draw the
fans went away happy, for they saw
Cy Parkin pitch as pretty a game as
one would wish to witness. He shut
out the Bisons 2 to 0. 1t was after the
Tigers had been conquered in the first
5-4 that the happy-go-luclSy twirler
from Hudson, South Dakota, was sent
to the mound. Many of the fans doped
It out that Cy would not take kindly
to his job, as the heat was too strong
and the men behind him a bit stale.
The, opposite happened. The Western
sheriff served uD a great assortment
of cross-fire balls, twists, benders and
dinky slow ones, and during the course
Of the contest he caused eight of the
Bisons to fan, did not Issue a free pass
and allowed but six scattered hits, the
majority of which were lucky and
barely hits at that. On the other hand,
the Tigers found Dummy Taylor at the
right time, particularly Johnny Kelly,
who led with a pair of doubles and a
single. Kelly scored both runs
Loose fielding, umpiring by Mr.. By
ron and failure to wallop the pill at
the required time cost the Tigers the
early game, the Bisons grasping the
long end 8 to 4.
Both teams hit the ball hard. the
Tigers making four doubles and the
visitors a homer and q two-sacker.
Each made ten hits. The Tigers total
In the error column was six. or more
than in any other game this season,
and they were costly ones In the bar
gain.
Mickey Corcoran, the red-topped
Irishman, started the trouble in the
first game after two We're out in the
first inning. He drove the ball over
the left field fence and made the cir
cult. In the third inning singles by
White, Starr and Konnick and Cor
coran's being hit on the head gave the
Herd two more runs. In the eighth
Whites single and three sacrifice hits
in a row gave the Bisons their fourth
tally, and the fifth and deciding n
was made In the ninth. Starr failed
to get out of the way of a close n
and Mickey Corcoran was on the Job
again. He singled to deer centre and
Starr made third. Michael was out at
second on lightning fielding by Gett-
mar and Louden. McCabe then hit
through Jimmy and Starr denied the
plate.
The Tigers were scrappy all through,
but their gameness went for naught
until the sixth. Crisp poked n to
the outfeld and continued to third
when McGinnity made his second
double. Jimmy followed with a sacrt-
flee fly and Crisp scored and his name
sake went to third. Ganley was on
deck and his hit scored his boss,
In the eighth Jimmy made second on
Konnick's error and crossed the plate
when Ganley smashed out his third hit.
On the throw-in Bob took second.
Meyer beat out an infeld hit and Gam
ley beat IL to third. Benny then stole
second. The former big Lacquer was
out on an ATTEMPTED double steal and
Meyer reached third. Gettman failed
to hit. but Louden knocked one out OF
the inield and Benny tailed.
Several times the Tigers got men on
bases and in the ninth, with two down.
Lee doubled. Mueller ran for him, and
when Jimmy was safe on an error the
Kid made third and was slow in maxi
ing for the plate on the tumble which
was booted by Merritt. Corcoran final
ly gobbled 1t up and tossed to Williams
ahead of the Kid.
1t was Johnny Kelly who did the
trick In the second setto. He secured
the first hit Of the game off Taylor in
the fourth. q cprdng double. Gettman
