against the Jungaleers on Saturday, was
sent back this afternoon. Ayers was
touched up lively only in spots. With
the tieing run on third base and the
winning marker on second in the seventh
inning. and only one down, Detroit fans
figured the game as good as won.
Manager Griffith changed the situation
in a twinkling by lifting Ayers and sub
stituting Boehling. The wisdom Of this
move Is clearly shown by one glance at
the box score. Southpaw Joe retired

third after Ayers and Moeller had been

it was learned today that by jumping TO

escaped being sent to st. Louis Browns
The Federal League official who gave out
this information stated that a deal was
pending whereby Shotten and a pitcher,
name not given, were TO have been sent
TO the White Sox in exchange for Chase
The fact that Hal got wind of this was
one reason for his making the sndden
jump, and he stated emphatically before
signing with the Federsls. that while he
was willing to play in the Federal
League, there were two cities in the
league with which he positively would
not sign on account of climatic condi-
tions, St Louis presumably being one Of
them.
