The Tigers are to be congratu-

won't have to face Jezebel Tecum-

that Zach and his slow hook won't
have to be overcome on this visit
to the Capital.
However, George Mogridge, al.

Is in wonderful form and is certain
to get into one Of these six battles.
George always stands better than
he climbs the hill against the De-
troit club.
Ty Cobb is expected to use
three young pitchers in the series
opening here today. Lii Stoner,
Wells and Whitehill, three new.
corners, have been keeping the
Jungle Cats very much in the
flag hunt and they are champing
ct the bit, waiting for the order
to perform.
In addition, Cobb has Holloway,
Pillette, Cole, Sylvester johnson,
George Dauss and Rip Collins, the
two.gun man, for duty on the
mound. They have not been as
prominent as the first trio and may
have their troubles, though Collins

The Griffs expect fight from the

expects fight from C0bb'S mon, so

are prepared for that.
Bert Cole, a southpaw, was the
Detroit hurler who caused the
recent riot in Detroit when the
Yankees were there last. He Is
sure to face the fighting Griffs
and they have been warned by the
Yankees to watch out for rough
stuff. The umpires, too, are ex.

George Dauss stands apart from

The fighting Griffs are in first

Jungle Cats are only a step or so
behind and fighting to reach first

expected that these six games viii
be fought to the very last.
The fighting Griffmen must win
at least four Of these six games to
assure themselves Of clinging to
first place. From Joe Judge all
around the infield and from Sam
Rice over to Goose Goslin, the Griffs
are ready for the enemy. These
games with Detroit should be worth
seeing.
