TICE TRIES TO

Gruelling Batting Practice On
Program Today; Heilman
Chasing Flies

this morning was q peppery session.
Manager Jennings took his Tigers
over q blistering scenic railway.
and there was moro than trace OF
birthstone In the general discussion.
which had to do with the shortcem-
ings Of the Tigers this spring. They
came home from the east to brace
up and regain all the ground they
had lost while on the road. They
have braced up. and for q club that
was not expected to win the pen
nant the improvement would be
satisfactory. The Tigers. however.
are supposed to be OF nag-winning
class. and the record of ave VIC
tories and three defeats since they
came home. Is not enough.
No shakeups In the club are
planned. Harper's injury and the
illness which fell upon Crawford
after he was benched. have made
impossible any change in right field.
Only two players are available.
They are Holman and Kavanagh.
and Kavanagh Is not hitting. He'll
man is. so he gets the call. Harry
also gets to spend his holiday to-
day chasing flies In right field. He
was scheduled for . workout that
would greatly increase his familiar
ity with the garden. Harry's chief
weakness has been late starting. He
hasn't been able to Judge q ball at
the crack of the bat. and until he
can do that, he never will be real
outfelder.
Probably Dubuc will pitch Satur-
day. with Coveleskie or Dauss
working on Sunday. and the left
over on Monday. This program may
b reversed. n Manager Jennings
thinks that Dauss can pitch Satur-
day. Tuesday and Friday. George
may be worked on those days. That
win put him In two games against
Boston.
Glazing misplays IN the field lost
Thursdays game. and gave the
White 6ox IN even break In the
series. Similar plays helped the II
ger runs around. and perhaps there
II not much reason to complain.
Cunningham pitched . swell game
of ball. and 20 did Faber after the
first two innings. In the second

triple Of the year. II was q tremen.

Heilman and Cobb camped. Then
each waited for the other to catch

Cunningham Immediately cut loose
with . Wild pitch. That made no
difference, for Jackson singled on
the NEXT ball.
In the third. after two were out,
Eddie Collins drew q pass. He at.

had him tagged out easily. DOME
let Eddie knock the ball from his
hands. and the third out was blown.
Fourier walked. and Jackson got
another single. which went between
Bush's legs. John Collins hooked
single through third, and Young
made a tworun error on Schalk's
easy srounder. He muffed 1t. then
dropped 1t again as he started to
throw. Five runs resulted from all
this burlesque on baseball.
In the eight. the Sox got an hon

sleepy guy. The ball went to right
