about listening to the things he
says, but that is neither here nor
there, especially to Mr.. Gordon
Stanley Cochrane.
"What team is it that can

the opposition seven runs in the
first inning, forcing in two runs
on passes, and blows the game
by one rum" he continued.
Teacher and baseball manager,
too, Mickey furnished the sources
of reference to the scarlet-faced
pupils.
Read the newspapers" he
snapped, and suiting the action
to the word, went out and
bought the current issues, read
ing the sad tale over and over
again.
The testimony of the public
prints certainly was against Coch.
rane's band of Tigers. They did
hit 10 doubles. Most certainly
Charley Gehringer hit a home run,
but still the Bengals lost.
Costly Defeat
It was a most humiliating de-
feat for the Bengals, and costly
one withal. The Yankees we're
idle in New York on account of
rain and a fine chance to pick
up half a game presented itself.
Cochrane had already committed
himself to pitching Tom Bridges,
and the clever curve ball artist
went out on the hill to tie the
GriffS in bow knots.
Bridges has faced the locals
three times this season, and he is
just exactly even with himself and
the world. He won his first start
in Detroit on May Is, got a draw
in Detroit on June "a when he
was taken out after Is innings
and Eden Auker finished the
game; he lost yesterday, being
drummed out in less than an in
ming.
The Tiger breed is dangerous
whether its Bengal or Bang.all,
and the Tigers fought to the last.
They had what might have been
the winning run on bases when
big Buck NewSon whistled pitch
over the plate with every ounce of
speed at his command, and
Charley Gehringer flied to Fred.

Buck was rushed into action in
the ninth inning after Earl White
hill had wearied in the enervating
heat and Eddie Linke, relieving
him passed the one hitter who
faced him. Buck was nicked for
two hits which scored two runs.
But it may be said for him that
he had pitched only half a dozen
balls in the bull pen and had to
do his warming up in the box
under pressure.
Buck Ready Now
NeWsom rushing to the rescue
of his team yesterday pictured
the sorry might have been" of
the last Western trip. With
Buck on the bench while the team
was Skidding out there in the
hinterlands he would have been
able to tear in and stop some Of
those wild rallies that made life
so miserable for Bucky Harris.
Newsom is ready now for action
against the Tigers on Friday, and
then he will swing in against the
st. Louis Browns and the rest of
the clubs.
The Griffs wore their batting
toys as they turned back the
Tigers, and if Bump Hadley gets
the same sort of support today
he probably will give Schoolboy
Rowe right jolly time of it out
there.
Travis, Powell and Bluege had
three hits apiece to their credit.
Bolton deserved a better fate on
the smash he sent to the remote
corner of center field. Gerry
Walker made a thrilling catch
of that ball.
Hankus Greenberg had a day
of it on his own accord. He
poled out three two-baggers, and
that's a lot of Swatting in any
company. The old reliable Goose
Goslin poled out a couple of hits.
Washington fans extended
welcome to Fred Marberry who
DOTTED the flannels of the player
to don the serge of umpire so
recently. Fred got a big hand
from the crowd and deported
himself after the style of the
major league umpire. He knows
his way around.
