Today the Detroit Tigers end
their first series in Washington.
Tomorrow they will be succeeded
By the st. Louis Browns, who have
been battling the Red Sox in Bos-
ton. The Tigers have dropped
two out Of the three games played
thus far and must win today to
make an even break. Victory for
the world champions win make Il
four games apiece on the season,
a the Tigers took three out OF
four from the Griffmen in Detroit
last month.
Dutch Ruether, who is more
than making good with the cham
pions, and Rip Collins, who was
once q member Of the Texas
Rangers, il rumors hold any truth,
are expected to be the opposing
hurlers today.
Old Roger Peckinpaugh Is back in
harness once more. which explains
TO q large extent why the cham.
pions grabbed the third game OF
the series with the Tigers by
count Of Z to 2. Jezebel Tecumaeh
Zachary and Earl McNeely and
Goose Goslin were also very much
In evidence. but the truth Of the
matter is that with Peck in the
ehoPtfield and coming up with his
deadly fail. the world champions
looked more like themselves.
Peck entered the game with his
weak leg wei bandaged by that
marvel among trainers. Sir Miguel
Martin. He limped q bit, too.
when he was running the bases,
but he sure did some qaeage to
the enemy.
In three times at bat Peck
crashed 3 single and . double.
He could easily have made e
three bags on that double In the
sixth, had his legs been in good
shape, but he played safe and
stopped It the midway.
In the fifth frame Peck ripped
off one Of his stereotyped hot drives
down the third base line for e
Larry WOoda1l was so nustered at
seeing the old gentleman galloping
down to second that he flung the
onion into center and SO Peck
eoInped over to third before that
other aged gentleman, Ty Cobb,
could gather In the aforesaid onion.
Earl McNeeIy brought Peck across
with q solid shot to left.
In the sixth frame Peck came
TO bat with two down and Ossie
Bluege on second. All Peck did
was to hammer a two-baggsr to
the corner In left field, scoring
Bluege without any trouble. Foth-
orgill got the ball back in 4 hurry
but he could never have cut Roger
down at third but for the latter's
bandaged pins.
The Griffs' aged shortstcppef
scored one run and drove in an
other on two blows In three tries,
besides handling six out Of seven
fielding chances, figuring in one
double play with Harris and Judge,
his partners in crime.
As for old Jezebel, he was GER
talnly the goods. Bucky Harris
must have grinned to see the big
southpaw hold the Tigers to five
hits In the first seven frames and
Zach was working und:r wraps
when the visitors bumped him for
three hits and two tailies in the
eighth.
Earl McNeeIy, fast becoming .
popular hero with the fans, went
20 bat four times. Twice he
belted real bingles, once to cen
ter and once % left. In the
seventh he beat out q clever bunt
to Doyle, the Tiger hurler. He
scored one run and knocked IN
another, while he was . busy
bird In the garden, handling no
fewer than seven ny balls In per.
feet style.
Goose Goslin grabbed himself
three hits In four attempts. His
single In the second was wasted,
but, after rapping one safely in the
sixth. he Tailed on Bluege's crack
to left.
Goslin's big frame was the sew
enth. He came up with three on
and cleared the bases with q pom.
derous wallop for two bases to left
field. Later he was caught off
second base. but what Of It? Hadn't
he scored one run himself and
and driven In three more?
"Hooky" Dauss started for the
Tigers and failed to return after
the sixth. Doyle, a newcomer in
fast company. finished the game
more or less haphazardly.
Ty Cobb contributed two eyre
g1ous errors to the box score,
both on ground balls. HIS boot
IN the third cost his team a run.
The veteran Tiger is hitting as
well as ever, but his fielding IL
becoming worse and worse as tho
days 60 by.
Note-No sign Of Ban johnson
could be found. though Clark Chit
fifth sent out search party be-
meath the centerfIeld stand.
