Jungle Cats to do their worst and
they needed his demands. When
they had finished their work, they
had seized victory from the very
grasp Of the Griffs by showing nine
large runs over the platter. They
won, IL to 9, while the fans
groaned.

Ty Cobb, loving the tight places,
came up and smashed a single to cen.

and things looked better.
Heilmann waited around and took
a walk, filling the bases once more.
George 'Cutshaw dropped a single in
right, scoring Haney. The fans
were becoming nervous, seeing the
Tigers crawling closer and closer.
Manager Milan decided, after a
conference with George Mogridge,

better retire before the holocaust,
and in from right field came Jezebel

he had a reputation as a pinch
