What they, throw usually are those plastic

What happens when the mustard con-

by letter that Burke received. It read in

Moore took over for Kralick.
Rich Rollins gave the Twins

While the rest of the elite

Detroit's onrushing Tigers

No Luck For Daniels

Daniels deserved a better fate

day. He appeared to be throw
ing closer to his natural motion
at times yesterday. Ray Rippel-
meyer pitched two more hit
less relief innings, making four

The Senators thought they
we're out of the Twins five

Allison led off with a double
barely inside the leftfield foul
line, but Daniels famed Kille-

Daniels threw two low pitches
