And now for Boston and her plague
Of left-handersl
The Yanks have gone and were re
ported TO be still suffering over thai
game OF yesterday. while getting read,
for their days pastiming in Cleveland
In their places we have the Boston
Red Sox, Manager Patsey Donovan anc
all.
Today we are very likely TO see
TEX" Karger, last year without an
Exception, the hardest pitcher for the
Tigers to beat of the entire run or the
biz league. More than probably, kar
ger will be opposed by Clarence Elmer
Mitchell, the Tiges' lone southpaw
who has been groomed TO take the
place of Ed KiIlian as the staple fooler
or the Red Sox this year, with an occa'
sional chance against Washington and
the Athletics.
The arrival of the Red Sox gives De
troit q look at the team that Is now
IN second position in the league race.
Donovan has a good club this year and
has them going 1t top speed. There
are two men on the infield who Will
be making their first local appearance.
One OF them Is Yerkes. short stop.
Who has jumped from understudy to
fame that Is so great that predictions
are made that Capt. Wagner Will have
trouble getting his job back, when he
RECEIVERS from his hurts. He Is a bril-
liant fielder, according to the advance
notices, and has been hitting the ball
In fine style.
In place of Jake Stahl at first base
Il a big, rangy youngster named VII.
1iams who Is said to leave little to be
desired In the fielding way, though
his deeds with the bat have not been
psrticularly noteworthy. He is con-
yerted catcher, developed into first
seeker on the spring training trip.
Carrigan, Hooper, lewis and Gard
nor are playing their regular positions,
though Speaker has been out OF the
play with some minor ailment, his
place being taken by Riggert In yester-
days game. Clyde Engle, formerly
a. outfielder of the New York club, is
third-basing and doing the best he can.
IN the box will undoubtedly be seen
during the local series, Karger, Col
Inns and Wood, with Cicotte. Hall and
one or two others to pick from, for
TIE final game.
THE Tigers are In an advanced state
81 readiness for their opponents. They
have lost but one game all year to the
left-handers OF the opposition and have
beaten more twirlers Of that variety
than those who hurl from the orthodox
+ dipper. They have had series OF the
left-handers, but ought not to forget
= their prior experience In the shor'
s snace of four days. In case Kargel
takes the firing line today, Drake will
undoubtedly go to left field In place o
8chalIer.
Furthermore, the Tiges have thei
Old fighting dash. II took q couple o

made the most of.
