Rained Out Completely
After Two Rounds
Monday

Young Mr.. Seibold who pitches
for Connie Mack's Athletics, hurried
q no-hit game against the Ilsel
Monday afternoon II wasn't much
OF a game. and II won't go into the
records Nevertheless Detroit dion
got any hits and the fact Is as well
worth writing about as anythins
baseballic that happened In Detroi
Monday A double-header had been
scheduled II started in the mids'
81 light shower. The shower go'
into It's stride rapidly BY the time
two men were out in the first hail
OF the third inning. and the third
batter for the round had one Oall
and one strike on him, Chief I'm
pire Owens stopped the play and
scurried for the dugouts, followed
by The athletes
After half an hour OF food, u
was announced that the first game
would be called of and that the
second game would start AT
o'clock This was contrary 10 all
rule or reason, because the hrsi
game was regularly scheduled
game. and n isn't right 10 play
postponed game on a day that won I
permit me playing OF q regularly
scheduled game, The proper caper
would have been 20 continue the
first game, starting with out out In
the third and Mr. Jameson AT oat
with q ball and strike on him. This
would have gwen the fans theh
moneys worth, saved the rain
checks. and permitted your humble
scribe 20 write a clever story about
the. oruisig out IN Lake Cobb. Lake
Veach and Lake Harper. as the out
fields were 20 be called An Effort
was made 10 sweep the water of the
infeld az 3 o'clock, but another rain
came up and hostilities were post
poned for the day,
Two games are scheduled for this
afternoon There m>y be double
header "Wednesday and there may he
only one game II all depends upon
whether or not the two clubs can
come back from the east a week
from Sunday 10 play bargain bill
here, This all depends In turn upon
what Clark Griffith has TO say. The
Tigers are scheduled for Washing
ton July 30. and " will be necessary
20 postpone that game day In or
der 10 make the Sunday trip here
Inasmuch as Griffith is scheduled for
a double header az Cleveland on the
same Sabbath. II Is likely that ne
will sanction the Monday postpone
ment
Carroll Jones started yesterday
game. and probably will work in one
I'M today Howard Coveleskie or
Howard Ehmke can be expected In
the other ANY OF the boys, except
Boland and Dauss. could work TO
day in pinch. Mac can choose
from Selbold, Bush, Noyes and
SChauer
Hughey Jennings may he out in
uniform This is supposed 70 be the
third dag ~ his suspension but he
insists that the suspension telegram
arrived In Detroit before Saturdays
game, and that II was no fault OF
his that he did not get il before ne
piloted the Tigers against the Red
Sox This Is rather chaotic reason
ing, but the Interpretation thereof
Is that Hughey figures the ban on
him should be lilted this afternoon
instead OF Wednesday.
Seven Tigers batted in their two
innings Tuesday. Heilman was the
only man TO get on base He was
safe at hrst and second on Dugan's
lid throw and went 10 third with
Mclnnis threw the ball away again.

saw Harry in scoring position
The only Mackman 10 get on In
the hrst round was Strunk, who
beat single TO short McTnnis was
safe on an error in the second round
but MAS forced by Meyer, who In
turn persisted in double play start
