Detroit piton.rs Havs Sound Ausa.

Detroit players may grouse at their
pitchers and charge their lowly standing
TO weak box work as they please, but
one glance at the club batting averages
alibis the pitchers entirely.
Here Is q team which has the greatest
punch Of any in the American league
a team which ought to have team bat
ting average OF around .270. and which
usually Is a point or two better. AMI
1t Is hitting around :2l3 and Is last in
team hitting in the league. With Cleve-
land and st. Louis humping the old
onion for team average Of around
.290. and Chicago around ESQ. and De-
troit hitting .2l2. the standing Of the
Tigers Is easily understood.
The abnormal batting averages OF
Cleveland st. Louis and Chicago have
been accumulated off the Tiger pitchins
and the Tigers haven't been hitting the
size Of their hats against White SoS,
Indians or Browns. With Cobb around
.240. Jones 200. Bush, Ainsmith and
F1aEstead just above 100. there Is no
need to explain.

shot. He has suffered a great deal
with neuritis in his left arm. and was
unable to use that arm in batting. The
disease still bothers him. hut there arr
days when he feels as we'll as he ever
did. He always has kept in excellent
condition and he could jump into the
game almost any time and heIp out.
The last year Evers attempted TO play
regularly. he gave one Of the nerviest
exhibitions ever seen. He could not use
his left arm at all. could scarcely litt
both hands, but swinging with his right
arm only. Yet he hit over two hundred
