In Chicago the Tigers meet the
dark horse Of the American league
race. The Sox are composed chiefly
Z. pf youngsters. the ability of whom has
not vet been thoroughly tested. HOW.
ever, the general opinion OF jimmy
Callahan's bunch Is that they VIII
fail to show the early squirt that MADE
them famous last year.
Almost the entire Chicago club Is
recruit or near recruit. Ray Schaik,
behind the bat. is youngster who
caught only % games for the ooS
last year after they found that BLOCK
wouldn't do and sent him back.
Borton started with the White Hose

There are kids in the outfield, also,
4 Collins, Mattick and Bodie holding
down the outer garden.
The White Sox can usually depend
aspon Ed Walsh TO win al least one
game of about every series from the
Tiers. However. he is hardly ex-
pected to cop one of the present trio.

at Chicago and was relieved In the

The Cleveland club doesn't appear

running this season as they last. when
speed was one of their chief qualities.
The Tigers have quite hospital

b. ont of the game for several days.
Yesterdays injury to Louden was
only one of the many breaks of luck
for and against the Tigers. Mullin,
who has pitched three good games and
won only one. was toyed with by the
fickle goddess of fortune yesterday.
First she smiled on him; then she
frowned.
In the meantime, while she was
playing her little game with George.
1900 fans sat In the stands at Navin
field and shivered while the game went
IL innings.
From the time that Mckee let Pratt
tie up the score by dropping Veach's
beautiful throw after Austin's single.
the chances for winning the game
swayed from one side TO another with
as many jolts as a Crosstown car.
During the contest, Detroit made ii
hits on George Baumgardner and had
10 bases on balls, together with five
stolen bases Yet from this assert
ment they could net only three runs,
due partly to poor baserunning and
partly to bad luck
Mullin outpitched Baumgardner. al
