AS FINALLY HIT
LEAGUES CELLAR
Mackmen Change Positions
With Tigers After Sunday
Defeat in Detroit

Detroit, Mich, June 14.-Detroit aud
our AS exchanged places in the Ameri-
can League standing. The Tigers
crawled out Of last place and showed the
Athletics into the bottom position yes.
terday.
The Mackmen fought valiantly and
the Tigers had to go nearly ten innings
to lift themselves out Of the cellar.
They turned the trick by a score of 4
to 3, the same count by, which they won
Saturday.
In all fairness It must be admitted
that Detroit won rightfully. Ehmke
had quite a margin on Perry in the
pitching end Of the argument, and on
top of that the Athletics three runs
were not earned. For a time these
three markers looked sufficiently large
to win, and it was not until the eighth
that the Tigers broke through with suf-
ficient force to tie the count. although
they had been doing more damage to
Perry than the Mackmen could do to
the angular Ehmke.
The three runs all came in the third
Perry had flied, when Dykes got in the
way of a pitched ball with the count
three and two on him. Thomas fouled
to Ellison. With two gone, Dykes
stole second Strunk walked. Walker
hit an easy grounder to Young that the
keystone sacker kicked away and re-
covered too late to get the runner.
Griffin here hit the first Of three
Texas leaguers that he dropped into
right during the afternoon. The bal
fell between Young and Heilman
Dykes and Strunk scoring and Walker
reaching third. Griffin and Walker
worked a Successful double steal, Tilly
counting.
That was as far as the Athletics got
with Ehmke. He was invincIble after
that.
