tnere when the base hits were thick
est. Just by way Of refreshing your
memory, I'll state that the score end
ed 10 to Is in favor of the Tigers.
when you also pause to consider that
the White Sox went into the last half
OF the fifth inning with lop.sided ad-
vantage, leading by the score of 10 to
!, you may gain some idea of the
humping ] received from my twin
1inxes, Messrs. Tyrus Cobb and Sam
Crawford, both of them able left.hand-
ed batters. My finish came in the sixth
inning after the Tigers had compiled
9 total Of twelve clean drives, includ-
Ing three-baggers by the triple-plated
twins, the aforementioned Cobb and
Crawford. Up to the turning point l
entertained some joyous prospects of
an easy victory, for the White sox
were pounding Mullin and Covington
pretty freely. Then the scenery
changed when the Tigers busted off
their heavy artillery and started to
charge our lines in the fifth. Mullin,
always a dangerous hitter, shot open
the inning with a single, but was
forced by Drake. l didn't want to take
any chances with Bush, and the wee
shortstop walked. With two on and
Cobb, who previously had singled, at
the plate. I found myself dangerously
near the trouble zone. So proceeded
to work on" the Georgian. AS a
master workman / surely looked any
thing but the part, for Tyrus immedi-
ately. combed "a triple to the outlying
regions, hammering across couple of
runs. ! then tackled my other hoodoo,
the smuggling Crawford, and Samuel
rammed triple into right field at
the rate of q mile a minute, scoring a
moment later on the infield out of Del
ehanty. Moriarity obligingly cashed
In, grounding to Tannehill, and went
to the bench to recuperate. Our half
Of the sixth was over in jiffy. Right
on the reel saw my finish staring me
In the face when O'Leary, Stanage and
Covington notched singles. Again I
encountered trouble with Bush and
wild pitch let in another run. Bush
was nailed by our infield, his retire
ment coming another tally, and, with
the bases choked, I faced my jinx,
Cobb, for the fourth time. Again the
champion batter delivered timely
swat and the third marker of the In
ming was jotted down. That ended
my regime on3the firing line and Ohm
stead was led to the slab. Eventually
the Tigers we're permitted to bat
against Walsh, and when the smoke
had cleared away five more runs clat-
tered across in the ninth inning, spell
ing victory for the Tigers. On several
other occasions have been forced to
swallow the lime of defeat simply be-
cause these hoodoo sluggers refused to
fall for my southpaw delivery. H..

Roaer o,connor,. Job.

Roger Conner, who q decade ago
was regarded as one Of the greatest
long-distance hitters in the business,
is still tied up in the game. Conner
is acting as general supervisor of the
umpires in the Eastern league for
President O'Rourke, he being prac-
tically boss of the indicator holders.
Rogers chief duties are to look an
umpire over from the stand during
the game, then point out to him what
mistakes he made after the contest is
over. So far the idea has worked like
4 charm and many umpires have de-
veloped considerably under Connor's
