ningham will serve his "blooey" ball

last time George exhibited this de-
livery TO the Sox, he put too much
reverse English on II and 1t wouldn't

1t kept shooting to AZ: parts OF the
lot, until George had to des!st and
seek comfort In the showers. Since
then. however, the recruit has
shown that he Is much more effec-
tive than that. and when he pitch
es today, he simply will take reg
ular turn on the mound That's the
way Manager Jennings expects to
work the spitball boy-once every
four days.
The game today is not found on

than risk double headers later on,
they agreed 10 stick around and per.

Sox Will journey TO Cleveland, and

There are several reasons why the
Tigers did not win the Sunday gene
from Chicago. Chief amoug them Is
the fact that the visitors scored three
runs, while Detroit scored but two.
Faoer. with a low splitter and excel
lent control, had as much 20 do with
l Detroit's troubles as any one man
Urban was not hit with any great
success at any time in the proceed
ings Kavanagh was the only one
to soundly thump him. and the save
man drove In all the taliies Detroit
secured. Harper. Mckee and Young
each raped the ball safely once
but not when thumps meant the
most.
James pitched very good ball. us
ing a slow curve to great advantage
in the early innings. He was de
feated because OF two bases on balls
which he unfortunately issued in the
big Sox innings. These mishaps
brought Schalk to bat in the second
and fourth frames. and having come
to bat. all this little catcher did was
TO drive in three runs. One came
on a sacrifice hy. and the cher two
on a double that was almost a third
out. The ball was hot liner L
second. and Harper made a magnIf-
cent effort, Just touching the missile
with his fingers. Thereafter De
troit was not scored against. James
continued until the seventh. when
Mckee hit for him and started the
big rally. Boland worked couple
OF innings with great success, and
Dubuc finished the game. Jean
walked two and hit a batsman in
the ninth. and had a horrible time
preventing some scoring.
The Tiger offensc these days re-
fuses TO get busy until the foemen
have lead. The Sox scored three
runs before the end Of the fourth
yesterday, and Detroit did nothing
until the sixth, when the usual raj
ly was started. As will sometimes
I, happen. this rally was very nice, but
didn't get far enough to win before
the game ended. Mckee batted
for James In the sixth. and singled
to left. Maisel ran for him and
reached third on inheId plays on
Bush and Witt. Then Kavanagh got
