BY PAUL HALE sRuskE.

The Boston Red Sox are just about
the hardest losers in the American
league.
BY this statement II mustn's be in
ferred that they fight harder for VIC
tory than any Of the others: they
don't. They merely take 1t harder
when they lose.
Not single man of the entire
cotorie marshalled out of Detroit on
the Chicago train last night. but was
exhibiting some sort of sore spot.
Some nursed grouches over the UNI
piring, which hasn't been as good as
il might have been. though the teams
have suffered impartially. Others
cried over sensational plays which the
Tigers made at their expense, Capt.
Wagner walled that Cobb had been
trying TO cut him down Others wept
because Patsey Donovan had left this
or that pitcher In too long.
But the sorest OF them all was
TEX" Karger, the teams star left
handler.
Started in two games OF the series
and Knocked out Of the box both times,
though bringing To his work every BIT
OF cunning and strength he had ever
possessed, Karger was just one big
animated boil. Relied on as in past
seasons. TO tame the Tigers at least a
half-dozen times in the progress OF
each pennant race--he got them seven
times last year. II memory serves cor

ers about two innings on each occa'

GRIFFITH AF TER
L0UDEL, EX-T|GE
Engineers Deal With Minneapolis
and Hopes To Make Texan
Another G. Suggs, Winner.

Clarke Griffith, manager of the Gin
cinnati National league club, has en-
gineered a deal by which he has come
into possession OF Pitcher Loudel, q
former Tiger and a member OF the
southern training party this spring
Griff has given Minneapolis Short
stop Altizer and Pitcher Schneider for
Loudel and $4,000. The deal was tenn
porarily held up by the Denver club
OF the Western league, which has a
claim on Schneider. Latest advices
say that 1t will so through all right.
To enable the deal TO be put
through, Minneapolis paid Detroit a
fiat price for Loudel, who was origin
ally turned over TO that club under an
optional agreement
II would never have allowed our
claim on Loudel 10 be purchased, but
for the remarkable way In which we
have developed our other young pitch
ers," said President Navin. "Loudel
is a really promising pitcher and did
practically all the effective work for
the Yanigans, on their trip north,
Griffith may make another Suggs on,
OF the lad; | hope he Will for he II
personally a fine fellow. Lodae
would right now be a member OF the
Detroit stan, bat for the fact that we
believe the men We have added to the
club this year are all better than he
It's a cinch there won't any club hi
him as they have some OF Grin
pitchers lately"
Loudel's one fault with the Tigers
was in lack of speed. He had no ter
rifying fast ball like that OF Covington
Lively and LATTE. His curve was ex
cellent, however, and he always had
fine control.

fear Of Squeeze play
What Bothered (i(otie

Fear that, with Cobb on third, one
out, Moriarty at bat and one run
needed to win the game, Detroit
would attempt squeeze play. was
what worked Eddie Cicotte's con-
fusion in the ninth inning, Tuesday.
Cicotte saw Cobb and Moriarty
confer before the latter went to bat.
He Immediately thought OF the
squeeze and called all the infelders
in close. Then he pitched the ball
high and wide TO Moriarty three
times, the latter not Offering. This
compelled Cicotte to put II over, as
the bases were full The second good
one Moriarty hit against the left-field
bleacher, winning the game.

What the Box Scores
Demonstrate to the Fan

Bugs Raymond seems TO be able
70 pitch almost as we'll on a spring
water diet as when he dallled
with the siphon.
Detroit keeps right on winning
games by one run. Well, II takes
a ball team 20 do this.
Manager Doom trotted out
battalion OF young pitchers and
the Reds did the rest.
John Miller larruped the ball
for two homers and single.
The aged and lnfirm Hans Wae
ner managed to get only three
hits yesterday.
The Tigers have increased their
lead by one game since the east
ern Invasion, which was counted
on to check them, and now have
a nine-game margin.
Brooklyn was the only eastern
team in either big league to win
yesterday.
The three straight victories Of
the White Sox over the Athletics
don't look just exactly right. es-
peclalIy from an Athletics stand
point.
Owing to wrangling and UNI
pire-baitlng, in which Manager
McGraw played leads, the Giants
Cardinals game went two hours
and % minutes.
Anyway Cincinnati demonstrate
ed that the Quakers haven't a
monopoly on this thing Of corn
fed innings.
The White Sox are In second
place and the treats are on
Comlskey.
The addition Of Mclean and
Hogan TO the Browns outfield has
so far been big boon 10 the
team.

The outfielders came in close, for they
knew that nothing but a short throw
would get Tyrus Cobb. Ty capered on
the line like a colt. casting from time
to time aspersions on Cicotte's pitch
ing ability In a pinch.
Three times the little representative
OF the down-river French settlement

Cicotte desperately chucked a straight

II was Detroit's FIRST look at Ed La.

matter, OF course, but the crowd was
a bit anxious in the middle stages.
Ed hasn't yet recovered his entire

gameness, however, and good control

Red Sox found great difficulty in doing
anything with his delivery. Contrary
