REMAINS FOR EAST
TO HALT DETROIT
Unless Tigers Are Stopped,
Race for Rag Will Wane
by July A.

Unless the eastern clubs prove de
cidedly more effective against the De.
troit Tigers than have the western
teams, interest in the American league
race is going to be on the wane be-
fore July H. Something must be done
Jennings's team or the race will be
over so far as the pennant is concerned
before il is half finished.
1t is doubtful if there is another race
on record where a team has started
the season with such a remarkable win
ming streak. Twenty-seven games out
| of twenty-nine have been won, and,
what is most remarkable about it all,
| is that the opposing teams have not
| found it a difficult matter to score in
| these games, but not enough to Offset
the remarkable rungetting abilities of
| the Tigers.
In but decidedly few games have the
Opposing teams found it difficult mat
ter to get runs off the Detroit pitchers,
but these have been of no avail, for
! the Tigers usually score twice as many
that seems hard to do is to stop the
Tigers from hitting None OF the
pitchers of the western teams has been
able to do this. and it remains to be
seen If the eastern teams have twirl-
ers who can.
1t is not at all likely that any team
but the Athletics will be able to give
the Tigers struggle for the flag this
year. Neither Boston nor New York
appears to have a chance, and one
can Il figure that any Of the western
teams have look-in. But the Ath-
letics are sure to make game uphill
fight. They have lot of ground to
make up, to be sure, but the strength
is there to do this by easy stages from
now to October OF course. the Tigers
lead puts a great handicap on the
champions, but it is not to be believed
that Jennings's team can keep up the
pace it has set. and it is sure to slump
some time; even though such a slump
may be of but short duration.
Last year the Tigers lost the flag by
overconiidence. They thought they had
a cinch and grew careless, and before
they could recover the Athletics had
struck a stride which landed them on
top. This year the Detroit Players are
benefting by their experience of last
year, and they are taking no chances.

Little Stories
About Baseball
The Faithfulness Of Mr.. Parrot

showed him the turnstile; showed him
how it must click for everyone who
went through, and how nobody was al
lowed to climb over or wiggle under
the contrsption. Good, faithful Jiggs
allowed as how he understood, and on
the gate he went accordingly.
CIT was along about the fifth inning
that terrible uproar broke out down
by the gate. 1t was an awful up
heaval that sounded as If the whole
ball park was being torn up by the
players scuttled to the scene. They
found the doorkeeper of the Philadel-
phia club PROSTATE by the turnstile
and yelling murder, while Parrot was
holding him down and was also yelling
for help, police and rescue.
"With much difficulty they extract
ed Jiggs off his captive, Then Par
oft, red as fire and wild with honest
rage, explained that he had caught the
gateman swindling. He was passing
people through by the hundred, said
Jiggs, 'and I let it go for awhile, SO
d have the goods on him and no
knew I had the evidence plain and
proper I accused him and he gave me
the laugh. Then l lit on him. i
wasn't going to have Captain Anson
and the Chicago ball club swindled
that way, when it was plain as daylight
how the robber was doing it,.
Well, Jiggs,' demanded Anson,
who had arrived upon the scene, how
was he swindling us1'
" Why howled Parrott, he had
the turnstile fixed so it wouldn It reg

"And Jiggs pointed to the serial
number of the stile, engraved upon one
of the upper arms-2155.

years and years ago, says Jimmy
Ryan, .'the Chicago team was rein
forced by one Jiggs Parrott, an unique
baseball character-a long and bony
gentleman, with red mustache and
positively the most gentle and kindly
disposition that ever played the game.

showing anything except his glove, was
told that he would be benched for a
little while-a brief period during
which he was to watch the other fel.

smiable cuss, as already stated, accept

do his best to learn, and did learn. too.

when we all started for the park the
old man-Anson-found that he was

were sick, or said they were. The
gentle art OF falling sick was invent
ed and perfected by the Chicago team,
and it was seldom that the old man
was able to muster full house in those
glorious days of 1892. Anyhow, we
were shy of men, and there was nobody
to go on the gate for Chicago In those
days, you will remember, one Of the
extra ball players always held the gate
