ST. LOUIS, Oct. 6.-Mickey Coch-
rsne today served up a new Detroit
Tiger batting order for the fourth
game of the 1894 world series in
desperate effort to rally the falter-
ing American League cause.
Coming into this afternoons con-
test trailing the st. Louis Cardinals
by one game TO two, Cochrane
sought a combination that could
come through with batting punch
when leeded. He dropped Hank
Greenberg from the cleanup posi-
ton TO the No. spot, liked Leon
(Goose) Goslin from fifth TO the
cleanup, and made Billy Rogen
No. 5.
Rated on the record of yesterdays
performances the new lineup may
be an improvement, and, of GER
tainty, IL couldn't do any harm. The
Tigers lost yesterday almost solely
because they couldn't hit when the
checks were down-couldn't connect
even for paltry singles when there
we're men on the bases.
Thirteen Left on Bases
There was one significant item in
the usually yawned-off box score.
This was the matter Of men left on
base. Precisely thirteen Tigers were
stranded and in two innings the
Tigers side was retired scoreless
with the bases filled. The world
series record for men left on bases
is fourteen.
This, of course, is a matter Of
looking at the game from the Of
fensive side. Seen from the other
angle the game was another Dean
pitching triumph. This time it was
Paul Dean, younger and slightly
less illustrious brother of Jerome,
the Dizzy.
Jay, as his Paw calls him, won
the opening contest, putting the
Cards one game to the good. Paul
Yesterday again hiked the st. Louis
boys into a one-game margin after
an interlude in Detroit when the
Tiger ace, Schoolboy Rowe, put his
club into the winning column.
Carleton, Auker Are Ready
Today's pitching assignments were
listed tentatively but probably for
Tex Carleton for the Cards and
Eldon Auker for the Tigers. Both
are right flanders and each is max
ing his world series debut. Each
rates a No. 3 place on their respec-
tive stats.
Auker is baSeballs current under
hand pitcher. His long right arm
misses the ground only by a few
inches as he sweeps the ball towards
the plate. He used to pitch in the
orthodox way but broken shoulder
which kept him out of the game
for some time, made him change his
style.
odds favoring the Cards had
shortened today to l to 3. They
we're 3 to 5 favorites on today's
game. odds on the Tigers winning
the series were , to l against.
