Herman Pillette, tall rookie right
handler. better known as "Slim Pill"
was the hurier for the Tiger clan. and
ne distributed his hits with such good
judgment that eight safeties against
HIM yielded only the pair OF inconse-
quential tallies.
'Andsome AIRY" Hcilmann, king

1921, was right in form yesterday and
played large and expansive part in

knocked in three more. Blond Carl
was not at ali pleased by the way
things were going, and on at least one
occasion he expressed his indignation
right out in meeting. That was in the
sixth inning. just after Bassler had
brought Bob Jones home from second
with f1ukey two baggcr that dropped
on the left field foul line.
A Real Boot by Mays

out. Carl got two and three on the
batter and then curved low ono over
the plate, which he was sure was

that it was a ball. giving Pillette free
transportation. Mays was so plumb
disgusted with the verdict tina. when
Schang rolled the ball out to the box
Carl gave 1t place kick that sent il
back against the press box. Bassler
trotted TO third on this magnificent
gesture and Mays was consequently
debited with a large. fat error in field

at any time in the afternoon the
jungle clan fell upon him tooth and
nail right at the start of the con
test so that Mays would be under
no misapprehension as to the fact that
Ty Cobb and his men we're out there
just TO make trouble for him. The
first man up, Lou Blue. scratched q hit
off Carl's glove. Then ancient George

Up came Tyrus Raymond himself and
caught a fast ball just behind his
right knee. filling the bases.
Bob Neach cracked sure-enough
single toward right field, but Cobb
could not get out Of the way, and after
having been hit by Mays al the plate
he was once again knocked end for end

part to the fiery Georgian was that the
runners were all chased right back to
their respective bases again. Thus

parlance this was indeed lone for the

Heilmann's Double Scores Two
The next invader to drop anchor in
the batters' box was Harry Heilmanr
who promptly crashed double to left,
scoring Blue and Cutshaw. That was
four hits and one man nicked by the
pitcher in the first five at bat Not so
very good for the star slabster of the
on a sacrifice fly by Bob Jones. The
Yanks came back in the second and
scored two runs on a single by Ward,
a mighty triple to the right field exit
by Wally Schang and single to center
by Mays.
It looked then as if the pastime
would develop into one Of those field
days, where an adding machine is
needed to keep tab on the runs and
the batters are foundering on the
basepaths from the exhaustion due to
running out doubles and triples. De
troit was ready to carr yout Its share
Of this program, and IIeilmann, Cobb
and Bassler helped themselves to cx-
tra-base hits in the ensuing innings,
but Master Pillette. from Portland,
Ore. saw to it that the Hugnen had
nothing to do but look on with envy.
ef The irresponsible Tyrus slammed d
-ofnt a triple to start the third and
skrolled in on single to right by
Vleach. The Detroit left fielder later
scored when Deacon Scott let Rgney' s
rrounder hop out of his clutches, That
left the score . to 2, and another run
was added to the total for the enemy

Jones and double by Bassler. a
triple by Heilmann and single by
Rigney added still another in the
eighth. and the Unsuitable Tigers
brought their final score up to eight,
when Cobb doubled in the ninth and
crossed the plate on Hcilmann's single
The Yanks are still leading the
league by an eyelash, due to the tact
that the st. Louis Browns did not
play. The question peiorc lhe MUS
Is: 'If the Hugmen are on top while
Mays and Hoyt arc losing games anc
Ruth and Mcusel are out of the line
up. what will they do to the contend
ers when Hoyt and Mays start to wir
and Ruth and Meusel start to hit?'
The ayes have 1T.
