less of his natural ability.
1t would seem to the layman that
any finger who had flashed shut-out
ball III his last two appearances. as
Erickson did against the Red SoX
and Indians. yielding but two and
four hits, respectively, would be
good gamble with five daya of rest.
but Eric is effective when dropped
into the proper spots, and this is most
decidedly not one of them.
Olaf once was the teammatc of Cobb
who knows not little about his
idiosyncraSieS, and the Swede always
has found it difficult to keep his mind
on his work when facing the Tigers.
L. Raymond sees to that by getting
out on the coaching lines and making
liberal use of conversation.
May Have to Face Ehmke.
With Oldham eliminated from con-
sideration by having worked in the
opener the Griffmen will not have Il
very tough brand of hurting to face
unless Ehmke is sent back, despite
the fact that he was called on to
finish that contest. for the latter and

SiStent winner.
As has been the case for many years.

for hot weather, and DauSS work has
been confined TO relief roles, in which,
however, he has done excellent work.
No club can climb to the heights
with only two dependable deceivcrs
but it can climb quite a distance
with two, especially when one of the
pair possesses the prowess of Her
man Pillette. who smcared the H.d
tionals with kalsomine before Il
throng of more than 25,000 yester
day to record his eight victory of the
campaign.
HitIess for Six Innings.
This lean and lanky right-hander
pitched hitless ball until Harris
spoiled his bid in the hall of fame
with double in the seventh. The
only other bingle he yielded came In
hot for Jones to handle, but Pillette
escaped his lone danger spot byI
whiting Brewer in most impressive
fashion. He issued but two passes.

ficiaries. Only five Griffs. all told. got
on the bases and but three of them
were left.
Against such performance even

have sufficied and Mogridge fell far.

ance in two weeks. AS Il matter of
fact the southpaw was hammered
heartily. plainly showing lack of con-
dition due to his long layoff, but he
felt no bad effects in the shoulder,

Four hits figured in the registration
of a Tiger run in the opener, after
the side apparently had been retired.
With two gone. Cobb singled to right.
Mogridge caught him off first and
in the jockeying which ensued Cobb
regained the sack. or so Umpire Mo-
riarity ruled by a liberal display of
spikes and a fallaway slide. Veach's
Texas Lacquer to right put Ty on
third and he Tailed when Heilmann
rammed a safety through Bluege.
Cutshaw singled sharply to left.
Smith holding Veach at third. and
Motto collaborated to pick Heilmann

Tigers Get More Runs.
Only single by Bassler marked
the second inning, but in round three
the Bengals picked up another mark
er on Jones safety-over second, Cobb's
sacrifice and shot through the box
by Veach which Harris could not
get. although 1t was DETECTED by
Mogridge. Heilmann then walked and
Cutshaw hit into a double play,

Ground rules did not apply in the
case of Heilmann in the fifth inning.

twirlers so hard it struck the rail-

Tigers on the path at the time so the
Bengafs run total was boosted to five
Jones started the round with a liner
to center that Rice could not quite
reach. Cobb struck out. but Veach
singled solidly to right, and it was
then that Heilmann unleached his
long larrup.

wedge for another pair of Tiger tall

with a single off Judges glove that
scored Heilmann, and. after Riigney's
death, Cutshaw counted on Bassler's
