New-York tribune., 1922-05-16

the series by three games to one
the Hugmen.
What those jungle beasts did to the
celebrated hurting staff Of the midget
manager is sad to contemplate. Hoyt
was knocked out of the box in the
first game, Shawkey and Murray lost
the second, Carl Mays was submarined d
in the third, and Sam Jones torpedoed
and sunk in rainstorm yesterday.
The only consolation Higgins has
is that his star twirlers confne them
selves to losing but one game q day
Furthermore, the treatment that the
Tigers gave the New York pitching
staff has cured Miller Higgins of his
love fer animals. Take those Tigers
away" says Hug; Il ordered spring
lamb"
The Yanks are still leading the
league, however, as Connie Mack's
White Elephants slaughtered the
naughty Browns and halted their march
to the top of the list. Jones showed
in the first inning that he was not
in his best form, and as the game
wore on everybody became convinced
that the Squire" was in for neat
but not gaudy trimming by the in
vaders. On the other hand. Iyrus

to three hits and e lonely run in nine
innings, while the Detroit athletes
were gathering ten hits and six tallies
of Jones.
Only Three Yankees Hit Safely
All in all, the rainy day honors were
handed to Master Stoner on a silver
platter. A single by Witt to start the
contest. triple in the fifth by Schang
and another by Miller in the seventh
constituted the total gross damage
done to the Giants OF the youngster
from Oklahoma City.
Miller brought in the only tally for
the Hugnen in the seventh after his
triple to the centcr-held fence. He
scored while Dan Clark was throwing
Wally pipp out at first. Camp Skinner
hatted for Jones in the eighth in an
attempt TO start belated rally, but
nothing came of it, and Lefty O'Doul
made his 1922 pitching debut in the
last inning. he pitched to Bob Jones,
Cobb and Veach, and set them down in
order.
The Tigers hoped on Sam Jones as
soon as they were let out of the cage.
Lou Blue singled, Bob Jones singled,
Manager Ty sacrificed and Bob Veach
scored two runs with safe blow TO
center. Johnny Bassler .ht safely to
start the second, and scored a few
minutes later on Cobb's single to right
field. Thinks looked dark for the
Squire in this inning, and the Roches-
ter Relief Society, consisting of George
Murray, began to make preparations
for rescue out in the bullpen. Veach
died on a tap to the pitcher, however,
and Jones stayed in for while.
In the fifth inning Bob Jones singled
off his namesake and Cobb accepted q
base on balls. Both runners advanced
on an infield out by Neach, and the
Tiger third baseman Tailed the fourth
mann. Then the thunder rolled, the
lightning flashed, the rain began to
patter down, and it seemed for the
moment as if the Tigers were to be
the victims Of a low-down trick on the
part of the Weather Man. Umpire
Moriarty decided otherwise. He kept
the boys playing right on through the
storm until the game was lost beyond
redemption for the homo folks.
Blue Scores Another Run
Lou Blue added another run 10 the
Detroit total in the seventh on his
single. a sacrifice and hard crounder
by Cobb, which Deacon Scott let slip
out of his hands. Then "St Elmo
Miller brought in his lonesome run for
the Yanks and the Tigers immediately
countered in their haIf Of the eighth
with another and final tally on base
on balls to Rigney, a single by Bassler
and an intield ont by Stoner.
The Tiger clan created lot Of
trouble during their short stay, but
the one boy they couldn't hold down
was "Whitey" Witt. The blond
thatched midget got one safe blow in
two tries yesterday and further en-
deared himself to the local fans by a
leaping one-hand catch that robbed Lou
Blue of an eighteen karat triple in the
eighth.
BY the same token this Blue person
was large end painful thorn in the
side of the Yankees in this series. Not
only did he hit fuently, but he robbed
the Hugmen of hits indiscriminatelv in
q highly indecent and unfrendly man

The fans ride Ty, but Just the same
the fiery Georgian adds lot of color
to the pastime. He is either hitting
or grabbing all the time and not an
afternoon passes but Tyrus has some
thing to say to the umpires, with ap-
propriate gestures.
