climb from nth place to the top OF
Z the league. To arrive they had TO
win ~ OF the % fracases, and re-
ceive some very substantial aid from
s New York In pushing Cleveland into
reaching distance. Whether the
Tigers will stay in first place, or
even tie for frst. without hitch
tor the next few weeks Is hard 10
foretell. even should they continue
70 win.
The double-header season Is at
shand. The league is beginning to
pay for the sins of the magnates,
who insisted on starting the season
before the snow left. Until few
Of the bargain-day bills are over, the
standings are likely to do a deryish
dance. For instance, no matter who
wins the game In Detroit today,
Washington can leap from third
place to first by taking both games
at Philadelphia. The Nationals. too,
can drop mighty close to fourth
place by losing them both.
The Tigers won't get chance AT
this double-header game until next
week, when six games must be play
ed In st. Louis. All of the clubs
are due for lot OF IL next month.
After all this is over and the clubs
have played approximately the same
number OF games. the standings
again will relate true story OF
merit.
Another victory over Cleveland to-
day will make 1t impossible for the
indians TO get In front OF the Tigers
this week. incidentally, 1t will put
the Jungaleers into a position TO
grab a clean sweep, for Manager
Jennings can pitch Dauss back Sat
urday, and unless there Is a COM
plete reversal of form. the Indians
now have no pitcher to compare with
DAuss In effectiveness. There Is a
possibility that Morton will be recov-
cred from his ailments then. II he
Ia. q remarkable pitchers battle can
be expected.
Dubuc is expected to pitch against
Cleveland today. Cunningham might
start, because earlier in the season
he won a beautiful Thinning game
from this same club. Hamilton is
another possibility. Maybe1l they'll
all pitch. This series Is about due
for a swat-fest.
There Is no telling who will pitch
for Cleveland today, because Man
ager Foil only knows what shape
his STAFF is in, and even he Is guess
ing. Loudermilk and Bagby certain
" are out of It, and Stanley Cove
leskie needs another day of rest,
Mitchell and Coumbe have not been
effective recently, and McHale can't
beat the Tigers except by miracle.
Foil has a collegian by the name
OF Gunkel who looks fairly good, and
he may get trial.
The outstanding feature OF We'd
nesday's game, excepting the fact
that Detroit won and that Coveleskie
pitched remarkable ball, was the ex-
ceptional outnelding OF Harry He'll
man. rOT tue hisb ImO III "iD
reer, Harry seems able to start quick
and make a long and successful fly
that appears to be headed for an
extra. base hit. He ran far In every
direction yesterday, and made beau
tiful catches. II he really has caught
this outnelding knack. he will be a
wonderful outfielder, as the matter
OF playing properly for each batter
can be easily learned through strict
attention and experience.
There was lot OF vengeance for
Coveleskie yesterday. He had start
ed two games against Cleveland this
year, and was knocked of the slab
both times. He thoroughly enjoyed
the three-hit joust.
