BATTING ORDER
Of BENGALS
JUGGLED
Continued from Page y


ton.
Prominent among the boys from
down in the brush country were
the Miller boys, of the 10l Ranch.
Joe Carson Miller, jr, and George
N. Miller, Sd. These boys, reared
in the saddle, their ears tuned to
the swish of the lariat, forswore
the cattle industry to win their
place among the foremost bar
risters of the land of flowing gold.
LO! The Poor Indian
Running Wolf and Mrs. Run
ming Wolf, dressed in their finest
Stetson sombrero and gaudy
blankets, came from the Usage to
sit at the grand prix of the white
mans game (Which they borrowed
from the Indian, their bronze
faces beaming in the excitement
of the scene. They stood forth,
solitary sentinelS of the vanishing
race, almost swallowed in the
shifting sea of p1le-face contem'
poraries.
The rush of enthusiasts and
the general fervor over the VIC
tory of the Cards yesterday has
just about saved the spectators
around town from a fine lick
ing. Tales were carried this
morning of $3.50 tickets bought
for as low as two bits after the
first inning. The specs wanted
to save something out of the
wreck. But it's a different propo-
sition today. Tickets are at a
premium and the prices doomed
to the moon.
While the crowd was filing
into the stands, the Cards, grim
visaged and determined to end
the series tomorrow, prepared for
action. There was little talk
before the game. Frankie Frisch.
leader of the Cards, spoke a
few words of encouragement to
the players. He. dressed slowly,
as did the others.
On the rubbing table with Doc
Weaver, the club trainer, working
over him, sat Tex Carleton, who
will pitch for the Cards. His
ankle, strained a few weeks ago,
is still tender under strain, and
Doc Weaver resolved to run no
risk on having him at anything
but his best.
SuIIen and ReSentful
In the Tiger dressing room the
Bengals were sullen and resentful
Of the world and it's people. They
were ready to fight themselves,
and that, perhaps, is one of the
reasons for their downfall so far.
They've been so tense as to be
almost scared to death.
While the Dean boys are run
ming away with pitching honors,
and the "Wild Horse of the
Osage''-that's Pepper Martin
is hitting and fielding like wild
man, there are just a few Of the
boys who are in grave danger OF
winning the sorry repute of goats.
Neither Durocher nor Owen has
made a hit, and right now are
locked in a grim struggle for
honors as the all-American out.
Bill Dahlen, of the Giants, in
1905: Jimmy Sheckard and Billy
Sullivan, of the Cubs, and White
Sox, respectively, in 1906, and Jack
Murray, of the Giants in 1911.
went through the world series
without making a hit.
It looked for while as II
Jo-Jo White might give these hit
less wonders a run for their
money, but he lost his chance-lt
he wanted it-by making a couple
of hits yesterday.
Lashed to desperation by the
failure of his scared-to-death
Tigers to cope with the rampant
Cardinals, Mickey Cochrane. chief
of the BengalS, shook up his bat
ting order today to attempt TO
concentrate attacking power.
Leon "Goose" Goslin, the "Grey
Gander of the Potomac" who is
hitting 1874 for the series, will
bat in fourth position, following
Charley Gehringer, who boasts
the same average for the three
games.
Hank Greenberg, who is rapidly
winning a reputation for leaving
men stranded in the pinches, will
be dropped to sixth place and Bill
Rogell, hitting $50 will bat fifth.
AnP0nfinn
affords an opportunity for a
hitter to drive in a run, Green
berg has failed to accomplish
anything worthy Of note.
In yesterdays game he left
three men stranded, tanning in
the third with runners on second
and third.
His triple in the ninth, like
his homer at Detroit, came with
the game lost. His triple yester-
day was his first hit with men
on bases. He has driven IN two
runs.
COchrane No Threat
Just what will be accomplished
by this shake-up in the Tiger
order is hard to predict. Coch-
rane, who has made one hit in
the Tiger order is hard to pre-
dict. Cochrane, who has made
one hit in eleven times at bat, is
not a smuggling sensation for the
second notch, and he follows
White, who sacrificed "al
America out" honorS yesterday
by making two hits.
