Record of Wins Since May27
Clean Sweep Over Red
SOX Keeps Team
Happy

The Yankees are here and Bill
Donovan is home again William
and his bowery Eaug Will remain
with Us until Tuesday, and II pres
eut peace negotiations with the
weather man result n a truce, the
Tigers and their guests Will engage
IN four games Of ball in that time
This IS the hIst visit OF the Yankees
90 Detroit this season, and weather
iutCrfered with the series out east
so there Is no way to tell whether
New York Will be as soft for Ttge
this season as IL has been in recent
wears Only two games were played
out east The Yanks swiped one,
and the other was that memorable
ltinning fracas which was pitched
by Coveleskie
Donoyan's team is the enigma OF
the league Caldwell. Msgee, Baker.
Gilhooley, ard Gedecn, all expected
10 be stars. have proven disappoint-
lnents, still the club is very much
in the pennsnt race, and las been
since the beginning OF the season,
which has now run about TWO
months The secret seems 10 be
Pitching from recruits Of which out
siders know little. Mogridge, Mar
kle and Cullop have been going
pretty we'll, and both Kealing and
Fisher are having good seasons.
Caldwell has been hurt, and that's
the alibi for his poor work. but the
tip seems 10 be out that Donovan
can't expect much this year from his
star.
Heating and Mogridge worked at
St Louis. but Donovan has the rest
Of his staff ready for work. II would
not be surprising if William pitched
Cullop today. ard he may Try 10 get
by with Caldwell Sunday Both
Fisher and Heating are also likely
10 work. ana Mogridge is going so
well that he is deemed a certainty
for Tuesdays game.
Everybody except Dubuc. Of the
Tiger stan, is rearing 10 pitch, and
there is no way 10 tell who will
start today. Il may be Hamilton
or Coveleskie, and Dauss is just as
likely.
This winning streak still is in
glorious bloom The clean sweep OF
the Boston series has put the club in
fine spirit. particularly because OF
the manner in which IL was won. Why
Du6uc was picked by Jennings TO
work against Boston is a mystery,
for Jean has more trouble with tha,
club than any other in the league
He was hit hard. but he wasn't Wild,
and the game is won. So all is we'll.
Carrigans motive in attempting 10
stop Detroit by the use OF MAYS is
equally as mysterious. Mays is the
one Boston pitcher the Tigers do
not fear.
In addition to his superb hitting,
Ruth pitched q splendid game. His
support was miserable. The Red
Sox made five errors. and a couple
OF other boots that we're officially
scored as hits and which might be
construed as eitrer errors or singles.
Strangely enough, not an error fig
ured in the scoring, although the
misplays kept Ruth working over
time continually. Eventually he
cracked under the strain.
The only solid hits secured of
him before the eighth came in the
second round. Veach opened with a
double 10 the score board and He'll
man sacrificed. Burns put a fly over
Hoblitzell that dropped on the foul
line and went for 4 double, Bobby
scoring from third. in walk. Until
the eighth, the game was then all
Boston, starting with Ruth's home
run in the third. Until the last half
of the ninth, the game VAS still Bos-
ton, but solid cloutlng in the big
pinch made the Tiger record for the
home stay 10 victories in 13 games.
