leaguers In the opening game OF the
series. Gainor is not ready To go back
to his position and yesterday occupied
a point OF vantage. where he observed
the work OF Hal Chase and picked up
pointers. Rest will do ID. Jones no
harm.
One OF the most pleasing features
OF the combat was the hitting or the
two Tiger recruits. Every one OF their
three hits helped In the scoring.
Schaller had little TO do In the field,
but big John had busy day on the
sack. showing elias in every move. IL
Is tough luck for the Chicagoan that
he has struck the big league with so
remarkable a youngster as Gainor 10
beat out. But for the latter's wonder
full showing. John would unQuestion-
ably have made the place and Tom
Jones would have been forgotten Just
the same.
One OF the most pleased over Schal-
ler's nifty work was Pop" Arson, the
veteran Chicagoan, who was covering
the game for the Times extra. Pop
really gave Schaller his start in pro-
fessional baseball He brought him
of the sandlots TO his own team and
coached him carefully on inside base
ball. He found Schaller an apt pupil
and has naturally taken great interest
In his big-league debut.

Tigers Qsnind Arson Of
Ills Old Chicago Colts

The way the Tigers hit the ball In
the opening game OF the New York
series reminded the veteran Capt An.
son OF the old times in which his Colts
and the Detroits used to vie with each
other in smuggling the sphere up into
the tree that used to stand In deep
center field at old Recreation Park.
The captain particularly enjoyed the
batting OF Crawford. whom he deems
worthy to be classed with the slug
gers OF ancient time.
The captain was also reminded OF
an experience which befell him and
the Colts when they engaged in run
OF victories similar to that OF the
Tigers.

won the National league pennant in a

However, it's safe to say that Jen.
nings men will court the sort OF local
disfavor that Is likely to come from
winning too many ball games. Tho

the wire is what they are all dream

In the meantime, Capt. Arson to the
contrary, 1t is possible that Detroit
could stand for about 100 more VIC
