Hughie Jennings, manager Of the
Tigers, is now the man of the hour in
baseball. The wonderful showing of
his team is the talk OF every fan in
the country Just before the campaign
started the general opinion OF the
critics was that the team was due for
q berth in the second division, but
once more Hughie has surprised them.
and right now the Tigers look more
Ike the one best bet for the pennapt
IN the American league. Not alone
did the Tigers enter the month OF
MAY with the longest lead in baseball
history, but the club has established
q record for scoring runs for the
season. In the first twenty-four
games Jennings men piled I'D 14l
runs. This is almost en- average of
about six runs 10 game and one
that greatly exceeds the number by
any other club in the league. Should
they be able to keep up their present
speed they will have scored S55 times
before the fnal game is played and
the championship decided. And If
they are able to do this there Is not
the slightest doubt as TO where the
championship will go. One thing that
makes the Tigers believe that they
will be able to keep up the pace set
by them in scoring is the fact that
now the inneld has started hitting the
ball. Up to the present time they
have relied almost solely on Craw-
ford and Cobb to batter down the de-

CHICKS OUTBAT RAMSEYITES
IN PRETTY FIELDING GAME

A bad decision by Umpire Conahan
on Zinn in the fifth inning, was fac
tor in the defeat of the Chicks in the
third Of the Altoona series here yes
terday afternoon. Zinn had gotten on
by a walk in the half, tried for steal
and was an easy out, aHrkins TO Mar
hefka, but Conahan said no and later
the runner got across the pan. With
out the run the teams would at least
have been tied up in the ninth inning
The game was another one of those
sizzlers that are good to see. Merchant
and Schultz went in to do the twirling
and although Merchant did the better
pitching as far as hits are concerned,
he got the bad start that is character
istic OF many of the Chicks pitchers
and allowed two Altoona runners TO
get across in the first inning before
two men we're down. Then he tighten
ed up a peg and allowed but four hits
until the last. The Chicks got five hits
off Schultz until the last Of the seventh
when Keister pounded a finger splitter
into him. Miller opened the eighth for
Altoona and was hit for three clean
ones. Merchant held to the last
II was a lucky game from every
viewpoint for Altoona Brilliant field
ing was on tap from start to finish. In
the second inning Zinn cut the locals
out of two runs when he got Mer-
chants hot drive. Again in the sixth
inning he got back of Bells hard
drive TO left ending another splendid
chance for the Chicks TO score.

doubles
