The renewal of the offensive came

outline definitely the extent of the
front. Berlin reported the drumfire
to be pounding the line from Houth-
DIST wood, south Of DiXmude, to the

miles. This would indicate that the

should worry. To add to the nigh
class Iaurels grabbed by Cicotte in
his nO-hit game Saturday, Jim Scott
stepped forth Sunday and held the
Detroit Tigers right where he want
ed them. The eight hits and two
runs that they gathered off Scott
were not even threatening, for the
Sox had run up their six tallies be-
fore a Tiger crossed the home plate.
Chicagoans who have been to the
Cub games so far can appreciate
what Detroiters sat through to wit
ness the game. It was blame near
freezing. Yet $4,000 fans turned out
to see them thar" Sox perform.
We are inclined to think that al
though the grandstanders and
bleacherites saw the home team lose,
they had to hand it to the visiting
nine. Rowland's boys put up SOME
game. With a pitcher going like
Scott was, with his mates hitting be-
hind him, there is little chance of the
Tigers or any other crew coming out
of the fray with first honors.
When Clarence RoWland's Sox
come to town Thursday for the open
ing home game of the season they
deserve a record-breaking crowd.
The boys have been playing good
ball, if anybody should ask you.
If the Sox crew could ruin the
shooting stats of Berlin's army, as
they have ruined the pitching stats
of opposing teams, the whole lot
should Immediately be sent to the
front. .
Have you noticed that veterans
like Cicotte and Scott haven't any
regard for Jack Frost and his line of
br-r-r-r weather? If they can start
the season that way, wonder what
they will pull when things begin to
warm up bit?
