nat was w tne distant ana so"c-
what hESy past. Things are diff
terent in these days. Now they
run lead. And with only a three
or four-run lead the customers
never feel quite at ease. with such
a small lead a sense of impending
disaster hovrs over the stands.
Take yesterday for instance.
The Grifss stepped out in-the first
inning and collected a pair of tai
lies. In the second they added an
other. Then In the third, after the
Tigers Fad crossed the plate once
in their half. the Nationals pushed
over another pair OF markers.
Thus. at the end OF three innings.
the Nationals had \ four-run lead
which would have been more than
enough In days gone by.
Tigers Find BrilIseart.
But the Tigers live only IN the
present. They Kent at Brnlheart.

o. FIRST. with the persistency of @
+ hcckling woman and 1t wasn't long
before the Gr.ns' long lead had
the fifth she score was hve-au. And
into baseball history the Nationals
were or the short end. The final
reckoning was s to 5.
The Tigers victory. however. was
costly one. Harry HeiImsnn,
- cobbS' big right fielder. suffered a
broken coIlaroore in the sixth in
ming when he coIlidcd with Brewer
at irst The big fellow was car
-ied of the neid. There is little
chance ;nat he will see service
again this season. though the break
Is not as bad as at first appeared.
Attending surgeons said he
might" get back in the game in
three weeks. but it's probable his
servic4u are lost for the remainder
Of the season.
Coming as IL does with the Tigers
in tha thick of the pennant fight.
Heilrnsnn's injury Is quite a blow
to the Tigers pennant hopes. This
morning Detroit Is four and a half
games behind the Browns for sec
srf place and only five games out
Of the lead. While their chances
FOR the pennant are slim. they are
never out of the running as long
as Cobb is on his feet and kicking.
A slump by the two leaders and
short spIrt by the Tigers would

put them in a dangerous position.
There is no doubt but that they are
still to be reckoned with.
Tigers start In Third.
Ira Flagstead. whom everyone in
the big leagues except Cobb con-
siders a good outfielder. will sub

as good a fielder as Heilmann. but

we're pounding him in the early
Innings u was merely matter OF
time before they overcame the
Griffs' leader.
