In 1908 the National league nursed a
viper i'm ticket scalping scandal, IN
Chicago. The protest that went up
caused the man behind TO lay on, but
he Tor they realized out OF the sky
rocketed prices.
When the scandal was at its height,
Ban Johnson, president OF the Amer
lean league and member OF the ma
tional commission, demanded an In
yestigation. Falling back upon his old
war cry, for the good OF the game,
he demanded an expose.
When the Athletics and Cubs were
sparring for wind In Philadelphia, an
other scalping scandal seeped through.
The commission was handling the post
season games and don't recall that
Johnson even cheeped for a show
down.
Now the American league has its
scalping scandal. Like the Nationals
II was incubated and Matched in Chi
cago. at Comiskey's park, upon the
occasion OF the first game between the
Athletics and White Sox.
Scalpers obtained possession OF the
choicest box and grandstand seats, In
blocks. Presumably they lost money,
for the expected crowd did not turn
out and the imploring cries OF the
spectators fell upon deaf ears. AS
President Comiskey says, he does not
know how they got possession Of the
tickets, it is supposed the scalpers are
out the price OF the pasteboards.
Johnson now has an opportunity to
investigate something lie can prove
his sincerity and strengthen the hold
his league has upon the fans by going

The Athletics at Bennett Park!
Something like, friend, something
IKE.
The one big attraction to which
Detroit bugs annually look forward
Is that which comes each year when
Connie Mack and his men drop in for
pne OF the three visits which Ban
Dohnson's little program always tact
FULLY provides.
Although the two cities represented
were never natural rivals in neigh
borhood or industrial competition,
the American league championship
has been, for three out of the past
four seasons, matter over which
two clubs have wrangled. The clubs
have been Detroit and Philadelphia.
In two OF the three years In which
Detroit triumphed, the Athletics
Fought them down to the final strides.
In the season in which the men Of
Mack won, they regarded the Tigers
MS their most dangerous rivals, al
Enough at the finish one other club
happened to edge its way in between.
In the race of 1911, the Tigers
recognize but one seriously-esteemed
foe. That foe is the Athletics. And
the latter are just as sure that, to
beat out the Tigers will be equivalent
to again working their way into
worlds championship series.
To win the first game of the series
Is the hectic desire Of both managers.
II was for this reason that Connie
Mack saved up Plank, his only unbeat-
en- pitcher, not using him at all In
the Chicago series, but resting him up
in order TO be able 10 use him today,
and, in all probability, in the fourth
game OF the series as well.
II the Tigers can cop the opener,
Jennings will be almost assured Of Sn
even break. On the other hand, the
Athletics can hope for no sweeping
success in the series, in case they
fail to make a good start.
The worlds champions arrived from
Chicago this morning, apparently un.
daunted by The four consecutive de-
feats which they sustained at tho
hands Of the White Sox. They cali at
tention to the fact that the race Is
barely one-seventh over and figure
that a good showing here, coupled
with one OF their Enthusiastically
winning home stands, will be enough
to put them back in the lead which
they relinguished only with the close
of the season of 1910.
According to the Athletics, the
White Sox have been playing great
ball and, with the Athletics crippled,
have made the most Of every oppor-
stunity. They hint there is collision

That both teams will be able 10
bring their entire strength into play
is a matter over which those favor
ed 10 be spectators will be greatly
delighted
Detroit presented its regular line
of battle in the last two games OF the
Boston series. The Athletics sent
word, Wednesday, that Collins will be
back at second base for the Detroit
games, he having entirely recovered
from the illness which kept him out
OF the games in Chicago.
Both managers have been laying
their plans for the series, for several
days. Jennings will start George
Mullin in the first game. Plank will
twirl for the Athletics.
Detroit will probably come back
with Donovan, Lively and Covington,
and in that order. The Athletics
have Coombs, Morgan and Krause,
and they will come about like that,
unless unforeseen circumstances In
tervene. Stanage will catch all the
games for Detroit; the Athletics are
Livingstone and Lapp, with Ira
Thomas doing the reserve role this
year.
In all probability. the batting or.
der will be about like this:
Detroit-Drake, IT,; Bush, S.;
Cobb, c.; Crawford, RI; ,Delahsn.
ty, 2b; Moriarty, 3b; Gainor, ID;
Stanage, c; Mullin. p.

In selecting Mullin TO go up against
the Athletics. Manager Jennings be-
lieves that he is not only putting for
ward his best man available: he Is
also demonstrating his confidence
and appreciation. Big George has
been the busiest member of the De-
troit pitching staff all spring. He
started the team on its stride OF vic
tory and kept working, in and out OF
turn, against the western clubs. The
cold of the late winter found George
doing his work with loyalty and per-
severance. In none too good physi-
cal condition, suffering from illness,
operations and loss of sleep, he never
asked consideration, but kept pitch
ing.
When New York finally broke his
winning streak II was only because
Mullin had fairly pitched himself out.
Jennings has given his pitcher rest
which he so needed and has worked
him in but three innings for a week.
As result, Mullin seemed in his
workout Wednesday to have entirely
recovered his speed and curve.
The Tigers approach the series
with their old-time foes, courageously
and with confidence. They find
themselves on the defensive with a
wellfortified pitching stan and bat
ting array that has been moving fine
Ily. Their only regret Is that the
series could not have begun without
the one day of intermission.
