Great COnfid e n c e
Sweeps Club As Boston
Is Easily Beaten

BOSION. sept. lI.-No one
knows what the day may hold forth
for our Tigers. but jennings team
thinks II knows. After the rioting
at Fenway park and the erratic and
at times dirty baseball produced by
the Red Sox. the Jungaleers cannot
be shaken from the conviction that
the league paccmakers have crack
ed ahd that all that remains OF this
pennant race TO make daily trips TO
Fenwdy park for a while and further
mangle the foe.
Boston got poor pitching yester-
day, and failed absolutely 10 hit like
champions. The Red Sox fielding
was also very erratIc. and had II not
teen for iris Speaker and Barry,
the score would have been larger.
Outplayed in every department, Car
rigans team did not begin to show
the strength expected of II.
There is no danger OF overconf.
dence in the Detroit camp however.
Even while the Tigers have led
themselves TO believe that the pen.
nant-ward break has az last come to
them. they are too much riled by
little personalities and such rough
work as marred yesterdays fray 10
allow themselves 10 permit their az
grejsiveness 10 wane. jennings
crew doesn't want to merely defeat
the Bostoneers now. II wants TO
massacre them
Although Detroit is now slightly
less than within one game OF the
lead, fans at large realize that the
first victory is but n quarter OF the
task the Tigers must perform II they
would get out In front. and interest
In the series Is running extremely
high. II is believed that the rowdy
tactics employed by the Boston fans
will not be renewed again today.
The kissing OF Cobb. and particular
ly the rush OF fans upon the field.
has left something of morning aft
or taste In the mouths Of the better
sporting element in Boston. and Il
is believed that measures will be
taken to restrain such natives as
assist on making themselves obnoY-
ious.
Dauss pitched one OF the finest
games OF his career yesterday.
The Tigers trounced Boston In the
first inning. Bush walked on four
pitched balls. DOME scampered TO
second as Witt sacrificed and cobb
acknowledged an ovation OF Kisses
from the stands by slamming a sim

The Gem OF Georgia took second
on the aNempt TO catch DOME at
the rlate. and scored when Veach
singled over short. Speaker there
upon pulled spectacular play,
safely capturing Crswford's fly that
Hooper had lcst in the sun and dou-
bling Veach at second.
The Tigers again started to pound

place in the lineup by scoring Craw-
ford with corking single. after
Burns had persisted as Sam took
third.
Dauss pulled the old Tiger trick
OF walking the first man up in the
fourth, allowing Hooper to trudge.
but a snappy double play, Burns to

The fifth round saw Foster take
the count. and he was replaced by
Ray Collins, who used to beat the
Tigers every time ont in years gone
by. but whose name has been Den
mis- all this season. Stanage started
the inning with a single. and Dauss
got In the road OF one Of Fosters
offerings. Bush promptly sacrificed
the boys along. and Witt sent them
home with single to left. Then
entered Mr.. Collins. who retired the
side.
A pair OF poor throws by Young
and Witt enabled the Red Sox TO
break through for a single counter

scored Lewis. Henrikson batted for

third pitching choice.
