FROM MEMPHIS; All In FIRST
AND 1911 IN NIGHTCAP
PITCHER JUSTICES RELIEF WORK
RESPONSIBLE FOR BOTH VICTORIES
By HAYWARD HENDERSON,

The Titus Giants won both
games of a double header from the
Memphis Red Sox, Sunday, July 26,
at Hamtramck Stadium. The score
in the first game was II to IL; the
score in the night cap being 10 to
8.
The great relief pitching of JUS
tice enabled the Titus team to win
the double-header.
The visiting team from Memphis,
jumped into the lead in the first
inning, when Delaugher, Giants
starting pitcher, got away to a bad
start; and the Red Sox scored four
runs on five hits, in two-thirds OF
the inning Delaugher pitched. At
ter two were out in the first inning,
Bosely relieved Delaugher and
pitched one and one-third innings,
during which time Memphis scored
three additional runs, to boost their
total to seven.
B. Smith, pitching for the Mem
phis Red Sox, hurled shut-out ball,
until the fifth inning, when erratic
fielding and a base on balls, cou-
pied with timely base hits by Pete
Moore and Salters, enabled the I'll
tus men to score three markers in
the fifth. Nose Britten, assuming
the title of the third relief pitcher
for the day, pitched shut-out ball
for five innings, when the big bats
of the Red Sox banged out six hits,
to score four runs in the seven,
boosting their lead to eleven to
three.
Manager Sam Hill used fine bit
of strategy in the seventh inning,
to score five runs. After scoring
two runs in the sixth, Dennard
opened the eleventh with a hit to
left. House doubled to left, scor-
ing Dennard. Moore, after Salters
lined out to Decker on second base,
singled to center; House stopping
at third. Mcintosh lined a hit to
left, scoring House, while Moore
moved over to third base. Miller,
pinch-hitting for Myler, struck out.
Burke doubled to the left-field
fence, scoring Moore and Mcintosh.
Larry, hitting for Manager Hill,
beat out infield hit, and when
B. Smith uncorked a wild pitch,
Burke scored. Charles Justice bat
ted for Britten and struck out TO
end the Titus mems big seventh
inning rally.
Charles Justice, who returned re-
Gently from Valley City, N. Dakota,
where he was team mate of Will
lie Foster, Chicago American
Giants ace, proved that he had
learned the art of pitching when
Mgr. Hill assigned him to relieve
Moses Britten In the seventh inn
ing. He (Foster) retired the next
six men to face him in order.
The Titus Giants however con-
tinued their rally in the eighth,
when they scored four runs to
boost their total to IA, while JUS
tice moved down the Red Sox in
order
Dimp Miller started the second
game for the Titus Giants and
pitched brilliant ball for seven in
nings, allowing five runs and seven
hits. Miller, however, was forced
to leave the game in the seventh
because of split finger suffered
in last Sundays game.
The Titus men again came from
behind in the fifth inning to knot
the score, 5 to 5, while Manager
Hill called upon Justice to again
resume the role of relief pitching
for the second time that day.
Justice really did do a fine job
of relief pitching but the Red Sox
scored three runs in the eighth
inning while the Giants pushed a
cross five, to total ten. Justice
clamped down the lid in the ninth
with a score of 10 to s. In the
same inning Decker walked and
stole second on the first pitch.
Justice then struck out the next
three men ending the inning and
