An Eastern Series of Fourteen

the eve OF the Tigers departure for
Cleveland, where they will play the
first OF series OF eastern games.
II said Saturday that II We con-
tinued to play the sort of baseball
that We showed the day before, there
was no hope for US, but Saturdays
and Sundays games have put new
aspect ON this pennant proposition.
The way Mullin and Donovan
came back was mighty encouraging
and Willett's last game was we'll
pitched 30 that f Summers can shew
up as well as three have, We shall
have q good hurlisg stan to depend
on.
The way the team played In the
field and batted these last two games
has given them pep and lots Of con-
fidence and we go east with the idea
that we are still In the fight"
The Tigers were scheduled to

ment OF the last two days with the

whole lot upon Yeas Gregg TO boost
them to second place. or at least hang
on TO third, but the young phenom
may not be Of much service to them
as his shoulder has gone bad. A week
ago today he pitched his last game. A
bad cold has bothered him for some
time. Thus far the southpaw has won
twenty-five games and lost but seven.
The eastern trip includes two
games with Cleveland. four with New
York, three with Boston. three with
Philadelphia, and two with Washing
ton. With the exceptios of the Sun
days, every date Is filled, until Oct.
1, when the Tiges will give their last
exhibition here. contending against
the st. Louis Browns.
II things break against the Tigers
and put them In so bad that chances
Of winning the pennast are absolute
ly at an end, there are a number Of
recruits that may be given chances to
show their mettie. Detroit caught q
bunch OF good players in the drafting
from the minors and there Is no time
like the flag end OF season to make
them do their first work.

THE BRAINS WE'RE LOST.
Tests on Lawrence Squirrels Were Ac-
cordingly Delayed.

The brains of the five squirrels kill
ed in Lawrence and sent to Topeka for
examination for rabies and which
have been lost for three days were
found this morning in basket be-
longing to a Topeka bakery. The
bakery ships a good deal of bread to
different parts of the state. When
the shipping clerks opened one of the
baskets today preparatory to filling it
with bread. he found a vile smelling
package in it. On examination the
package was addressed to DR.. Sara
Greenfield, bacteriologist of the state
board of health. When DIR. Green
field examined the package she found
that it contained the brain tissues of
the five squirrels from Lawrence.
A few days ago a squirrel bit a
small boy at Lawrence. The animal
was killed and it was found to be in
fected with rabies. The health au-
thorities then decided to kill several
other squirrels and have them ex-
amined and if they were found to have
rabies an order would be issued to kill
all the squirrels in the city. Five of
the little animals were killed and the
brain tissues shipped to Topeka. But
the package was lost and all efforts
to trace it failed. 1t is supposed that
an express messenger threw the pack
age on top of the big bread baskets
and that the lid of one basket was
loose and the package fell INSIDE.
