to Georgia avenue, but the opening
clash exceeded all expectations. 1t

throughout until Turkeys" bat
marked the end of a perfect day.
Harry Heilman, the leagues lead
ing batter, furnished one of the big
thrills when he drove a home run
into the jury box in center field. 1t
was the first time this feat had ever
been accomplished. Harry took q
Babe Ruth swing. and the pellet
dropped just inside the extreme end
of the bleachers. 1t will probably
be some time before anybody else
turns the trick judging from past
history.
Jezebel Zachary went the entire
route for the Griffmen, while Cobb
used three pitchers Given a two
run lead in the early innings, Jea
held the Tigers back for seven in

homer, and in the ninth the Tigers
showed another run over, tying the
score.

leading boxman, worked the two
final frames against the Nationals.

bumps After Zachary had whitfield.

loss of control and walked ootn

turkeys" opportunity. and he
made good by shooting one out OF

dIeton worked the next two frames,
and Sutherland had the honor of
finishing and losing.
