Heard and Seen at the First Game

1t was a battle and a tough one.
First the Tigers held the upper hand,
then the Bisons overwhelmed them,
but the grit and the pluck of the
Tigers was not to be denied, like
Tigers they fought, like Tigers they
conquered. Three cheers and a
Tiger for the Tigers.
In that tenth inning yesterday had
there been no one out when Billy Zim-
Norman lined to Truesdale and the
Tigers in need of two or three runs,
the Bisons would have had a sure
triple play. For the Tigers would have
been laying off the bases and would
be away with the crack of the bat.
Truesdale, after catching the ball,
whirled to peg to first, but Swacina
was as quick as Peck In reaching the
| bag. The Bisens then turned to sec
ond, but no one was covering the bag.
His play was at third at the outset,
and he admitted it himself last night,
saying that he would have had a clean
double but he naturally turned to the
nearest base.
The question of how many bases Ed
die Zimmerman could have made on
his drive will go down in history with
the other questions that have never
been and never will be answered. Sew
eral fans coming UP on a Hamburg
place car had a warm argument. TAX
ing everything into consideration 1t is
doubtful If Deputy Chief Eddie could
have made more than two bags on the
wallop. Schirm is fast and a great
fielder.
Bob Holmes gets credit for the first
Tiger win. Stroud is charged with the
defeat.
That floral horseshoe was a mascot.

prove a jinx.

crease prices and augment profits, ever

people who must pay the tax.
Why should intelligent Americans
give heed to the selfish elamor of tarig
scaremongers? They have been pam
pered and eoddled until they regard
themselves as owners of the nation

warranted arrogance they threaten
disaster and destruction If their ca
pacity suffers the slightest check. or ii

to rifle and empty the pockets Of their
