vice president Of the Tigers, bought
Simmons from Chicago for a reported
price of $4,000. Mickey thought he
was assuring q third per1nant despite
AIS poor 1894 season with the White
Sox. But all Hades broke loose IN
Detroit. The Tiger outfield OF Goslin,
White and Fox was good enough for
the fans and press. Why ring In
somebody else?
Detroit never got over this
purchase. Simmons had two
strikes on him from opening
day Of last year to the bitter
end. His presence might have
helped to send Cochrane to
Wyoming for his health.
Detroit newspapers pointed out that
Mickey bought AL out OF friendship
dating back to their salad days with
the Athletics. Simmons strained to
vindicate Cochrane, but 1t was no
use. His 1927 average to the contrary,
Al had lousy year"
When you mentioned this Simmons
said: please don't 90 strong on
that. It's over now and I'm glad

Tigers refused to divulge the sum, but

runs in 1886.
At any rate Simmons donned a
Washington uniform-hls fourth
American League flannel since ne

to face the Cardinals here today. He

Ramblers Pick Lineup.

THE Chicago Ramblers, Western rep
resentatives in the senior division
decided on their lineup for the opener
yesterday. They will field a trio of
Dan Peacock, Bill Fergus and Steve
Hammond, with Herb Lorber as
alternate. The Ramblers won the
Western sectional title without mount
ing a horse, as both Detroit and
Cleveland failed to enter teams in the
regional tourney.
Opposing them in the senior series
is the New York Athletic Club team
seeking its third straight title with
such eminent exponents of the ancient
game as Cornell's Buddy Combs and
Art Borden, an eight-goal player, in

Harris looked around for Shanty
Hogan. There was no Shanty, hide

Bucky led the Griffs against the
Tigers and then headed his club
back to Orlando. Still no Hogan.
Shanty finally showed up last
night, just as Griff was preparing
to slap a heavy fine on him. He
spent Saturday night with friends
in st. Petersburg, he said, and was
promised transportation to Lake
land in plenty time for the game.
The car broke down, however, and
Shanty was too late.
Griffith and Bucky weighed judg-

to them. So they let Shanty off
