TANKS, WITH NEW SWAPPING ARRAY,
 TURN ON DETROIT

New York, Aug. 31-The battling Yankees turned on the Detroit Tigers at the Polo Grounds, yesterday, and when the smoke of conflict lifted Donovan's warriors were victors by a score of to 2. As Cleveland lost the Tanks are now tied with the In- dians for fifth place.
 The Jungle Cats did not look so much like champions as they did on Tuesday, Bob Shawkey held them to eight hits, and five of these were in- field blows.
 The Tanks, on the other hand, fell upon Bill James like a bunch of chicken hawks on a barnyard favor ite and in the third inning chased him to the cloistered shelter of the club house.
 Donovan shifted his battle line with good results. He had Oldring in centre, Charley Mullen in right and Magee at second base.
 The last named appeared to fit nicely into the infield combination. and doubtless will play the middle sack until Bakers return. Then if Maisers arm still is too weak for outfield work Fritz may be tried at
  tre.
 Shawkey twirled his usual depend- able game, and had it not been for the efforts of Tyrus Cobb might have had shut out.
 Ty was much of a trouble maker. He cleanly beat out three infield hits. and would have beaten out another except for the fact that there was man on first which gave the Tanks a chance for a force play at second.
 The Tigers made their tallies in the third and sixth frames. In the third Bill James was the first man up and he beat out a roller to Peck. In his haste the latter made a wild heave and the Detroit twirler took second. Witt sacrificed him to third and Peckinpaugh held him there while he threw Bush out at first. Then Cobb beat out his second in- field hit of the day, and it was case of home, James.
 With one man out in the sixth Bush bunted safely, but Cobb forced him at second. Ty then galloped to third on Veach's drive to right and SCOT ed when Sam Crawford bounced the ball over Pipp's head.
 The Yankees scored in the first. Lee iagee outran an infeId hit and High. put him on second with sac rifice Pipp, who was clouting the leather yesterday, brougt Lee across with a wallop to centre.
 In the third Donovan's Delights swarmed out their trenches and chased the startled Westerners half way to Yonkers before the charge was checked. b
 Shawkey startled things with a sim gle to right. Magee duplicated the hit. High famed, but Peck slammed a safe one to centre and the sacks were as crowded as a shoreward wave at a bathing beach just after a shark has been sighted.
 By this time Bill James realized that 1t was a warm day. He remov- ed some precipitation from his fore head and pitched to Pipp- Pipp swung and Bush managed to knock down the ball, which almost returned the compliment. Shawkey scored and the bases still resembled the subway during the rush hour.
 Maisel singled to right and Magee and Peck came home. Pipp went to third. James caught a glance from Hughey Jennings which so frigid that it turned the honest sweat upon his brow to ice.
 He went right away from there and Roland took his place. Oldring greet ed the new man with single to left. which sent Pipp across the rubber. Maisel skipped to third. Oidring stole second with a head first slide, but Mullen famed and Maisel grew over ambitious and tried to steal home.
 That was all for the afternoon, but four runs are four runs, and it was a full days work.
