Last Chance for Psnnant.


Navin Field Detroit, Mich Sept. 20.
Faced with the knowledge that they
must either win today's game or aban-
don their pennant hopes, the Tigers bat
tied with Boston this afternoon in the
second game of a three game series

Jennings entrusted Howard Ehmke, his
new pitching sensation from Syracuse
with the task of stopping the world
champions. Leonard was sent to the
firing line by Carrigan.
Witt returned to third base for the
Tigers and the regular infield was re-
stored with Heilman at first. The line
up:
Boston: Hooper, rf.; Janvrin, 2b;
Shorten, cf.; Hoblitzel, 1b; Lewis, If;

Leonard, p.
Detroit Witt, 3b; Bush, ss.; Cobb,
cf. Crawford, If; Heilman, lb; Young,
