COBB BACK IN
LINEUP TODAY
Hughey Pledges Club to Give
Athletics a Battle, At Least,
In This Series

PHILADELPHIA, July 6.-Connie
Mack confounded his critics this
morning by denying in positive
terms that the Athletics had been
stealing signals unfairly this sea
son Their remarkable string OF II
victories in almost three months of
play must be attributed to sterling
play which stoops 10 no subterfuges
and needs no such undetermined aids
TO triumph. AS matter OF fact.
said Mack in his sensational inter
view. he has had great difficulty in
teaching his athletes TO remember
their own signals.
This assertion Of Mack's comfort
ed the Tigers, who open in the
Quaker City this afternoon for
three.game series. They have been
trimmed so often in the past two
weeks by plain baseball that they
trembled when they faced the pros
pect of meeting Mack's array of
master strategians 1t was a great
relief for Manager Jennings to
know that no unfair advantage
would be taken of him. In an In
terview at the breakfast table this
morning, Hughey declared that while
he did not claim the series at Phil
adelphia yet, he was sure that the
Athletics would know that they had
been in some ball games before the
series ended. This optomistic view
also cheered the Tiger athletes.
The regulars got in during the
night from Wellsville, n. Y, where
they won a game from the Wells
vile team by count of to 4. The
game was not without its humorous
features. They beat pitcher by
the name of Hornwelcher Most
everybody got a base hit. but the
Wellsville folk seemed most i'm
pressed with the fielding of the De
troiters. Bush, in particular. de-
Tended the short zone to their
liking.
Manager Jennings must shift his
lineup again this afternoon. in order
to make room for Cobb, whose sus-
pension has been lifted. Burns has
been hitting we'll and so has Craw-
ford, and Hughey does not like 10
bench either. He has an idea that
Veach needs a rest, and Heilman
may move on over TO left. leaving
Crawford in right field. This scheme
is helped because of some spectacu.
lar fielding Samuel has placed on
exhibition recently. The veteran Is
as spry as Hector's pup just now.

Californian's driving.
There were those in the stands
however, who strung with Doyle

conservative tennis and who upset
the dope when he eliminated George

The spirit OF chivalry really
