Pretty Picking

G. perfect inning. He got the range on
the upper right field stand and drove
the ball we'll into the rear seats for n
home run, scoring Pipp ahead of him.
On the whole, this dash was the best
showing made on the attack by the
Yankees for some time.
Tyrus Raymond Cobb came near 60
ing through the game without getting
an official swipe at the ball. In the
last inning he drove out one that was
an emphatic blow, for it bounced
against the right field wall.
He came close 10 having one earlier
in the day, when he appeared to have
beaten an infeld tap down to the bag.
Dineen, however, ruled that he was out.
Whereupon Hughey Jennings, wiring
ing his hands with anguish, appealed
demanded Hughey. "He was" returned
the multitude.
Just supposing that Wild William
Donovan, of the Yankees, had made
this appeal and thereby committed lese
majesty. Umpire Dineen would have
ordered William even further than
Siberia.
Baseball Efficiency
cunningham, Tor the 1lGerS, was go
ing nicely until Pipp showed the other
Yanks where his vulnerable spots were.
At that the Tiger twirler was not so
badly walloped but the Yanks made
their swipes count. Seven hits for
seven runs come pretty near being real
baseball efficiency.
Colonel Rupert forgot a number OF
woes in watching the exhibition. The
colonel's sorrow consists Of super
fluffy of dough, mazuma or coin which
he Is willing to pay for baseball play
ers. But every time the colonel tries
to part with any of it the other clubs
hide their superfluous players under
the bench.
With the departure Of the Tigers the
Cleveland Indians will roam the wind
swept plains beneath Coogan's Bluff.
They are scheduled to start to-day
with a double-header. Lee Foil is still
holding the hallucination that he is a
sure pennant contender and is figuring
on decreasing the distance between the
Indians and the pair Of Sox at the ex-
pense Of the Yankees, go,
While Lee Foil is here there will be
an attempt made to do little dicSer-
ing for Cleveland players but 1t IS
hardly probable that any Of the nego-
tiations will prosper. It's trading
time. but nobody seems to want to
swap players with the Yanks In the
middle of the race.
