Rained Out Completely
After Two Rounds
Monday

Young Mr. Seibold. who pitches
Tor Connie Msck's Athletics. hurled
nohit game against the Tigers
Monday afternoon IL wasn't much
40 game. and II won't go into the
records Nevertheless Detroit didn't
get any hits and the fact Is as well
worth writing about as anything
base baltic thar happened in Detroit
Monday a douh,eheader had been
scheduled II started In the midst
of light shower The shower go'
into lts stride rapidly BY the time
Two mon were out in the drst hall
OF the third inning. and The third
batter for the round had one ball
ard one strike on him. Chief I'm
rire Owens stopped The plav ana
,curricd for The dueouts followed
by The athletes.
After half an hour OF food. e
was announced that the first game
would be called OF and that the
second game would start at 3
o'clock This was contrary 10 all
rule or req son because the first
game was a regularly scheduled
game and II isn't right 20 play
postponed game on day that won't
permit the playing of regularly
scheduled game Tho proper caper
would have been 20 continue the
FIRST game. starting with two out in
the third and Mr. Jameson at bar
with a ball and strike on him. This
would have given the fans their
moneys worth. saved the rain
checks. and permitted your humble
scribe 10 write q clever story about
the cruising out in Lake Cobb. Lake
Neach and lake Harper. as the OUT
telds were 20 be called An effort
WAS made 70 sweep the water OF the
infeid az 2 o'clock but another rain
came M and hostilities were post
poned for the day
TWO games are scheduled for this
afternoon There may be double
header wednesday and there may be
only one game. II all depends upon
whether or not the two clubs can
come back from the east a week
from Sunday 20 play a bargain bill
here This all depends In rurn upon
what Clark Griffith has 20 say. The
Tigers are scheduled for Washing
ton July 80. and e viii be necessary
70 postpone that game a day IN OF
der 70 make the sunday trip here
Inasmuch as Griffith is scheduled for
a double header az Cleveland on the
same Sabbath. il IS likely that he
will sanction the Monday postpone
mert
Carroll Jones started yesterdays
game. and probably Kill work In one
mt today Howard Coveleshe 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 Seibold. Bush. Noyes and
Schauer.
Hughey Jennings NAV be ont In
Uniform This is supposed 20 be. the
third day OF hts suspension, but he
in sists tia, the suspension telegram
arrived IN Detroit before Saturdays
game. and that n was no fault OF
his that he did not get IL before he
plotted 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 lifted this afternoon
instead OF Wednesday,
Seven Tigers batted IN heir two
innings Tuesday Heilman was the
only man 20 get on base he was
aafe AZ arst and second on Dugan's
Wild throw and went 20 third when
NcInnis threw The ball away again.
Harper promptly famed when he
saw Harry In a scoring position
The only Macknan 10 get on IN
the first round vas Strunk, who
beat a single 20 short McInnis was
safe on an error In the second round
but was forced by Meyer. VINO in
turn persisted In double play star'-
ed on Dugan.
