"Turkex, Puts One Over Fence.
Think I'll get my seats for the
world series now," remarked Jimmy
Gruber, the widest bug in the city
and head of the Turkey" Brewer
Boosters association, as he toddled
from the grounds.
The consensus of opinion Is that
Jimmy is a little previous. but there
are lot of folks in the same boat.
Another week or so Of such playing
and Jimmy's line of chatter will be
sane and. conservative.
Jimmy threw more convulsions
than usual yesterday in his seat
behind the pres box. The reason
was that Mr.. T. Brewer added
further luster to his name when he
socked the ball over the right field
fence. in the sixth inning for his
first homer of the season.
Those who have lamped the Read
ing Rose in action had been ex-
pecting something like this to hap
pen. After all the delay, however,
they were somewhat unprepared
when the slugger jolted Pitcher
Carl Hollings. The ball left the bat
on line with an upward direction
and cleared the lowest part of the
barrier by many feet. Everybody
cheered except Mr.. Cobb and his
athletes. They refused to get
thrilled.
Turkeys" big blow didn't have
any decided bearing on the result.
as the Griffs were leading by TO
at the time. IL was merely some
dainty garnishing for an already
delectable dish.
Now that Brewer has the range
OF the fence. better things can be
expected. Yesterdays drive was his
second in the majors, the first be-
ing uncorked in st. Louis last sea-
son.
Mogridse, as we were saying
when rudely interrupted by Mr..
Gruber, did the pitching. That
speaks volumes in itself, for the
former Yankee is a bear in the box.
He was nicked for eleven hits but
was as strong as usual in the
pinches and the Tigers couldn't get
more than two runs to save their
neCks
In these days and times the Griffs
refuse to allow a brace of markers
TO worry them at all. They con-
tinued their timely clubbing, knock
ing the left-handed Red Oldham
out Of the box in the third and do
ing more or less damage to young
Hollings, his successor.
Grin's Inneld scintfnates.
McBride's brilliant inffeld con-
tinued its great work. Bucky Har-
rls and O'Rourke made things much
easier for Mogridge by wonderful
stops and throws, while the tall
pitcher lived up to his reputation
as the best fielder among the
moundsmen of the circuit
In the seventh Harris pulled a
couple of stops and throws that
would have caused Eddie Collins to
turn green with envy. On Rush's
hot one near second. he went over
last and made a wonderful toss
while Off balance. Right on the
heels of that the speedy Cobb hit
another one in the same direction,
but Bucky trapped it with his usual
skill and snapped the ball to Judge
beating Ty to the bag by six feet.
II was nothing unusual for
O'Rourke to cut up around short.
but he pulled an old trick on the
veteran Veach in the fourth, bring
ing about a double play when a
Tiger rally seemed imminent With
Veach on first Jones skied to Brow
er, but "Blackie' bIuffed as IL II
were a hit and ran over as though
preparing to receive a throw at
second Veach continued to the
bag before he discovered his mis-
take and was easily doubled at
trst. 1t was old stuff. but it
worked. to the everlasting credit
of O'Rourke.
Land on Red Oldham.
Though Judge opened the first
inning with hit and reached third
on a stolen base and error, Oldham
escaped without a run against him.
In the second. however, the fates
were not So kind, the first tally
coming when Gharrity's single fol-
lowed one by Miller.
In the third Oldham got his bumps
and two more were hung up. Judge.
still enjoying great batting
streak, singled and Harris beat out
bunt. Cobb muffed Rice's short
fly, but forced Judge at third. Brow
er contributed his first hit Of the
game, scoring Harris. Miller forced
Rice at third, but Shanks singled
to right and Turkey counted. Hol-
lings came to Oldham's rescue ana
retired Charity on a pop foul.
In the fourth the Tigers got their
first marker and might have done
more damage had not Bobby Veach
succumbed to O'Rourke's strategy.
Heilman singled and took third,
when Veach dittoed. Flagstead
scored Heilman with a fly to Rice,
but Jones skied to Brewer. 1t was
on this play that veach was lured
of first and was doubled up.
Judge Drives One In.
The fourth local run also came In
the fourth on a walk to O'Rourke,
Mogridge's infield out, and Judges
single to center. Another was pro-
cured in, the fifth through Miller's
single. Shanks' sacrifice. and Char
rity's short rap to left field.
