in the league.
All Of Cooley's pitchers worked out
poorly and none claimed to be in con-
dition to pitch excepting Weideman.
He Is a youngster, a f1end for work
and always ready. In glancing over
the batting order on the board in right
field when he first reported at the
grounds, he saw that Scoggins was
due to pitch. He expected Hugh
Jones would start the southpaw even
before he left home at noon time.
Cooley did not think there was mucn
use in trying to beat Ecoggins SO he
sent Weideman to the block for
slaughter. Weideman was not to be
slaughtered. He allowed the Tigers
eight safe hits but three in the fifth
inning produced their only run. He
did not allow more than one in any
one OF the other innings, and with
good support he was successful in pi-
loting his club to victory

Even with all this. the Tigers started
