Detroit players take no stock in the

fatal to their chances in the hig games.
"The Athletics will win the series,
says Ty Cobb, probably easier than
they did in 1911.

they forget they still have Bender and
Plank. Also don't forget that Bush,
Shawkey and Houck are three great

Moreover, the Athletic team out
