the first game of the Tiger series.
George groped his way to the show
ers and thought matters over. It's
a tough life he concluded. but
Frightened somewhat when he re-
membered that the Tigers were to
be here for two more games.
SO. when Clyde Milan got to the
ball park yesterday. he found the
lean southpaw awaiting him.
George had something on his mind.
He wanted to pitch the Anal game
against the Tigers. That beating
Friday had been knawing ,at his
vitals. He asked Milan for yester-
days pitching assignment. Milan
consented as his pitching staff is in
terrible condition. Thus came Mog-
ridges opportunity for vengeance.
How well he succeeded Is shown
by the score, which was to 2 in

did succeed in holding them safe
when hits meant runs. The Tigers
nicked the portsider for a total of
thirteen safeties. while the Griffs

four of Cobb's hurlers.
Pfllette Gets Bumped
Cobb started Herman Pillette.
Herman has been romping through

is about as easy as the other.
But Pillette didn't last yesterday
Maybe the rain. which fell through
most Of the pastime, didn't agree
with him At any rate he only
lasted until the seventh inning. The
Griffs had scored four runs OF him

as well as dumb baseball on the
part of Flagstead. who, after he had
decided to pick up the ball, threw
to second instead OF home Goslin,
however, beat the throw to second
but was stranded when Brewer
