WILL HAVE CONFIDENCE
FOR THE FUTURE NOW
Whole Tiger Infield Is Playing
Real Live Baseball
Nowadays
BY RALPH L.. YONHER.


There was more Joy for the Tiger
fans yesterday than came from the
winning of the game, welcome as was
q victory over the worlds champions.
The spirit of the right field pavilion
crowd, which cheered Gamer with all
It's might and forced him TO don MS
cap after he had made his long drive
that tied the score, was the spirit that
gripped the whole multitude (2.Ols).
Del Gamer had been given his
4 chance to come back and he had MADE
good. Not only had he conducted
\ himself In his usual clever manner
around first base, but he had come
y through with hard hit, timely bingles.
He had made himself solid on his
first temperance.
Furthermore. he had gained good
\ start again which will undoubtedly
give him that confidence which ne
needs to be of value to the Tigers.
"A great deal depended upon the
way Del got off yesterday. lie was
playing under strain and II ne had
fallen down at the bat 1t is unlikely
& that he would have felt fit to keep on
going today. =,
But Gamer hit the ball hard at all
+ times safely twice and most timely
once. In four times up, Del got TWO
hits. One of them scored two runs,
which were needed to tie. The other
two times up he lined hard to Speaker
IN center field.
! All that is necessary to succeed Is
success. Gamer appears to be on the
road to success right now. A little
patience does wonders.
The Tiger infield Is playing in great
4 shape Every one OF the four men
Y are doing great work now, both in the
f.!d and at bat.
Bush leads the bunch. All this sea-
S5r DOME has been the fighting Tiger
tf old. He is covering all kinds Of
ground, making great stops ana
& throws, getting on and running bases
4 like q demon.
Yesterday, against Leonard and
a Wood, ne got only one hit, but he was
Oh i've times. He walked three times,
Z and was safe on an error once.
In the first inning he worked
around to third and then stole home.
3 Leonard saw him going aud threw
rather wild.
In the second inning, Bush walked
4 with one down and was of for second
On . hit-and-run. like fash, but Witt
4 tipped the ball into Carrigan's hands
And Bill threw DOME out.
Bush got on, on Wagner's boot, In
the sixth, advanced on Wits sacrifice.
took third on balk, but died there.
In the ninth he again walked and
\ Witt again sacrificed him to second.
n He scored the winning run Oh a hit
\ By Crawford and sacrifice by Cobb.
\ Witt did his prettiest fielding yester-
day In the sixth when he Knocked
down Gardner's drive that started for
4 triple and moment later threw
ont Wagner. after robbing him OF
4 hit.
Moriarty il up to his tricks on the
\ bases and II keeping opposing Clubs
! guessing az to what he is going to do
next. He stole another base yester-
day.
House apparently had but little
stun yesterday. Why Manager Jen-
pings kept him in the game all that
second inning and started him In the
third is explained only by the fact
that Hughie wants to put his recruits
to the acid test.
House had no control worthy OF
mention yesterday and was continual
ly getting himself in holes.
AL Klawitter had four good innings
and then he went to pieces.
Veteran Joe Lake had the Sox at
& his mercy, not a one OF them decorat-
Z ing first base In the two innings ne
worked.
Manager jennings had to do lot
of jockeying to win yesterdays game
after House had tossed 1t away.
When the break came In the
seventh, he had Louden run for STAN
\ age, who walked with one on and two
n down and he had Mullin pinch hit
Mullin came through with the needed
Il single and Gibson ran for him.
Joe Wood is evidently far from
ready to pitch his regular turn for
n the Sox and they need him badly. He
81 apparently had lot OF his old speed
q and sharp breaking curve. but he
didn't bother the Tigers. who damned
him for four hits in a row In the
eighth, and got another in the ninth.
Inc Smhliest cToWu OF Inc year VIII
messed one OF the most interesting
ball games. While 1t was not one Of
+ the best contests, still there was
n plenty OF excitement, lots of surprises
and the home club won. That was
enough for most any mans money.
