CINCINNATI, o.. April 10.-There
wasn't anybody with us here yester-
day in the Tigers battle with the
Cincy Reds except big Mr.. Pipp, who
is the father of Walter and half a
dozen other big strapping fellows.
After yesterdays contest even Mr..
Pipp deserted. going to Grand Rapids.
A delegation of fans from Law.
renceburg, Ind. was scheduled to
come over from that city to see their
big league hero. George Boehler, fall
the Reds to q crimson fr0th and blow
them away. But we'll be gosh-all-
hemlocked IL the Reds didn't turn on
the Lawrenceburg laureate and slam
him hard.
Like some OF the trains the Tigers
have travelled on, the only good thing
Boehler did was to go the whole
route. He pitched eight innings and
looked better when he finished than
when he started. George had TO
battle nearly eight sessions to get q
victory over the Arctic temperature
which kept him stiff and wild. Boehler
should have been sent out to the field
before breakfast so that he could
have had time to warm up before the
game started.
The rest Of the club might then
have been sent home: for with the
exception of Bush. Heilman, and
Stanage, they weren't OF much help
to George. The stay-at-homes could
at least have kept their g,iessers busy
figuring whether to call or raise In
the great rainy day pastime played
to the accompaniment Of the reds and
whites and sizzling radiator. AS
It was the cold benumbed them SO
badly that Il was useless for them
% try to play baseball.
II Umpire Carpenter had been al
lowed to leave the field along with the
greater portion of the Detroit club
then Boehler might have stood a
chance Of winning his game. but
never az long as he was working. He
may be . real Carpenter but he didn',
grasp the ideA OF the architect who
drew the plans for the Reds baseball
park. He swung the whole diamond
several inches towards the Reds
bench on flrst base, using the home
plate ~ pivot. Mr.. Carpenter was
very careless not to apprise the IT.
gers Of that fact before the contest
began. However, he made up in I'm
pressiveness what he lacked In
|promptness. They knew 1t well be
fore the game was finished.
- fnn Ill
managed to get TO the quarter post
on Berghammer's boot. Stanage forced
him but Boehler walked. Then Bush
laid one Of his famous doubles just
inside what he thought WAS the left
hand extremity Of the inf1eld. out
Carpenter had planed that side OF the
field down and the ball was foul SO
Bush didn't get his double and the
Tigers didn't get the two runs that
would have made the score 3 and g
for Bush tried the other side of TIE
diamond next and grounded to the
second baseman.
In the seventh inning with Craw.
ford on first and one out, Heilman
raped one down the first base foul
line, outside. Hoblitzel leaned over
the bag and picked up the bail on
foul territory, but Carpenter called
him out. Holman came through with
. clean single the next time up
Boehler was wild and therefore not
effective. The Reds didn't hit him
often but timely. They parleyed their
bingles with walks and errors into q
winning combination. The Tigers
fielding was stiff and awkward. Bush
pulled some pretty stops and quick
throws and Harry Heilman was under
the flies that came his way. Cobb
made one catch he had to 90 back for
and Crawford made q pretty peg on
q relay that got man at the plate
but that covers the Tigers good held.
ing.
As far as hitting il concerned. De.
troIt looked like Kalamazoo on q b.
day against Southpaw Benton. C-1w-
ford beat out an infield scratch for
the lone hit on the portsider In five
innings. Bush got Texas Lacquer
to short left, Cobb an infield scratch,
and Burns and Heilman each regu.
lar hit through the box for the tt ,ers
assault on Leon Ames, the former
Giant right.hander.
The Reds caught the Tigers In a
bad day. They outplayed. outpe3ped
and outlucked them. Dubuc ought TO
be whetted for revenge on his former
teammates today.
