CHANGE OF AIR NO
HELP TO YANKEES
Defeated in Opening Game Of
Series With Detroit
by 3 to 2 Score.

Drrgotr. Aug 20. - The Yankees
changed the superheatcd air OF St Louis
for the more salubrious atmosphere of
the City OF the Straits to-day, but that
practically was the only change they
made. They kept right on losing. drop
ping the first game Of their series with
the Tigers by 3 to 2.
The only thing in favor of the Yankees
was the fact that they made a closer
game OF 1t than usual. and they lost be-
cause the Detroit pitcher insisted on
making a hit in the ninth inning that
won the game for his team
II Is true that Mr.. Fisher, the able
hurler for the Yankees. also made a hit
that drove in run. but this cheerful
event occurred in the seventh inning
and as Fisher slipped a cog In his de-
livery In the last half OF that session his
drive was ineffective.
In addition to making his very timely
hit Mitchell absolutely declined TO per
init the Yankees to accumulate base hits
in dangerous proximity to each Sther.
As result OF this foresight on his
part he held the visitors to a brace OF
we'll scattered runs. This he found was
OF great assistance to him in the ninth
inning when he needed but one run to
win.
Nsnks Lead for SIX innings.
For six and ne-half innings the
Yankees were in the lead and apparently
intended to give their friends a violent
surprise and win ball game. But In
the last half Of the seventh the Yankees
slipped suplnely into the rut of dcfea,
and were there when the ninth ended.
The visitors were presented with a run
gratis in the second. Maisei being hit by
a pitched ball. stealing second. reaching
third on fly to the outfeld and scoring
, on wild pitch. which was the only evil
dence OF generosity on Mitchell's part in
the entire game.
The Yankees got another run over the
plate in the seventh. on singles by Bau-
man and Fisher and Nunamaker's pass
Then came a large patch OF gloom VII N
the Tigers tied the score.
With Neach out OF the way Heilman
singled and so did Burns Young died
at first. but Harper, batting for Yelle
shot single to centre. scoring Heilman
and Burns. No more damage was done
in that inning. but In the last half OF
the ninth Burns opened with a single
stole second and scored on Mitchells
single. The Yankees have now lost nine
out Of eleven games since they left home
Manager Donovan sent four OF his
pitchers-Love. Russell. Shawkey and
Monroe-to New York this morning
They were accompanied by Catcher
Alexander. who was instructed to put
them through course OF sprouts when
they reached the Polo Grounds Monroe
and Russell arc of no use to the team,
