Clean Sweep for Two
Days May Mean
First Division

The Tigers have their chance this
week 10 beat back into the FIRST divi-
sion in hurry Should they win
both the double headers today and
tomorrow. they would be within one
victory OF 500 average again. and
would have lead over Chicago for
fifth place that should be safe for
q while. Moreover. IL Is not at all
improbable that they would wind-up
tomorrow night In the first division.
for Boston IL tangled up with teams
that are poison TO the Red Sox this
Srring The Yankees, who have won
six straight from the Hub. are en-
countered again today, and tomor-
row two games will be played with
Washington. q club that has big
margin over the Carriganeers on
spring play. With start like this.
II would not be long before Detroit
would again be In the race. II Is
a big chance.
The Tigers are not strong on
cleaning up doubleheaders. however.
II memory is not tricky. last year
the Jungaieers did not grab both
ends of a double bill until late In
the season, even though they won
consistently when single games were
scheduled.
There is no doubt but that the Tig-
ers will have Eddie Plank to beat
this afternoon. The Southpaw has
trimmed Detroit one game this year,
but he would never have done II had
not his team mates piled UP a big
lead which Offset later rally that
nearly won. Who Jones will start
in the other game is a question. He
has a lot OF pitchers. tut the class
OF his squad will have been worked
in this series when Plank Is pitched.
Davenport probably will be the sec
ond choice. II will be necessary.

thing worth while to show the folks

comparable to the beautiful work Of
Coveleskie and Dauss In the opening
games. but there Is also the posi-
bility that they will rot. At least
one cloutfest seems TO be on tho
program today.
Saturdays game was notable
chiefly for its splendid pitching and
81 ectacular fielding. Shotton and
Miller starred for st. Louis. and the
whole Tiger infield worked brilliant
iy for Detroit. Neither Coveleskie or
Weiiman walked man and there
was no sacrifice hitting. The Tigers
hit I'm pinches for the first time In
many moons. A triple and three
singles In the second inning won
the game. and a home run by veach
in the eighth cinched II.
Yesterday the same timely hitting
early in the game won for Detroit
with everybody but Witt and Young
batting hard. Witt scored one Of
the runs, however. and Young drove
one In with a sacrifice ny. Dauss
continued Coveleskie's pace, walked
nobody and worked brilliantly all
the way. The club Is alert, lighting
hard and earning all II Is getting.
The impression Is justified that the
come back is at hand.
