evidence last week against Detroit yester-
day, and it was little wonder that the
Tigers won oy a score OF to 8. Russell
Ford did the major part Of the pitching for
the home team and he was pounded unmer-
cifully in the seventh inning for four runs
and the lead that gave the game to the
Tigers Despite the fact That they had TO

terms.
Fortunately the Yankees relapse into the
slothful playing OF the early part OF the
