He didn’t win because Earl Hamilton, the acrobatic Brown southpaw, pitch ed just a little bit better than Covte and the Browns found him at just a little more timely moments. The Rickey gang won the game 2 to 1, but it was no disgrace to the big Pole to have lost. Covie is without doubt the soifth paw that Manager Jennings has been looking for lor some time without avail. He wanted him to finish up a pitching siaff that since the time it Killian lias lacked a real left-hander. Covaleskie showed a good fast bail with a nice hop, a sharp breaki- % curve and a peach of a slow ball that had the Browns guessing. His con trol was very good, also. The Tigers have thus far failed to do any hitting. There isn’t a man on the club who is macing in his true form except the men who never hit anyway. Weak hitting, moreover is to be expected in the spring. Ty Cobb explains it by saying that there are two reasons for it. First, the bat ting eve takes longer to get into shape than the pitching arm. Second the batteri get into the habit ot swinging too much at the minor league pitching that they see on tne spring trips and they have to over come ihe habit formed there and bo more careful against the big leaguers. However, it always happens that a club finds its hitting eye and starts to pound the pill over night. The Tigers are hopefully waiting for the night in which they shall find their. If they do and the pitchers keep hand ing out the kind of ball they have thus far, the Tigers will win some ball games. Browns a Stronger Team. The Tigers found tne Browns a much improved ball team under Rikcey. Rickey has them fighting and playing real baseball. They were also hitting much more timely during their series here with the Tigers. Gus Williams, the outfielder, looks like the most improved player of the bunch. He hit over .500 here, stole two bases and made some three-ring catches in the outfield. Leary, the new first sacker, is a very peppery individual and made a hit here. Bob by Wallace surprised the crowd by starting the season at shortstop and playing fine ball. He looked good enough so that Bisland was allowed to go to the Naps to protect them in case Charman couldn’t get back. Wellman. Hamilton and James all pitched Tine ball for the Browns. The process es weeding out the un necessary members of the Detroit club is going on row. Men are being placed as fast as thev can. Walter ■ Plnp was the first to be released after Detroit was reached. This young man is a first hns'-man who was farm ed out last year He returned to the Tigers for the spring training a much improved ball player. He hits left handed, however, and Manager Jen nings wants right-hand hitters. So George Burns, the Sioux City product, had the call over Pipp and has started the season at first. There was a time when Plpp looked good enough to be kept in spite of the fact that he hit left-honded. but when Burns showed up well in league games Pipp was allowed to go. That leaves Burns and Gainer for the Tigers’ first sack. Pipp wag Pent to Rochester with the understanding that he can be re called at the end of the coming sea Bon. He will be under the personal Instruction of Johr Oanzel and it was Ganzel’s promise to develop him along Jenning’s desires that caused the youngster to be sent to Rochester. Taken by Sox as a Habit. Ray Demmitt was the second Tiger to allowed to go After all tbe American League clubs had waived on him, Chicago decided that it want ed him and took him at the waiver price, $2,500. Demmitt came to the Tigers by draft from Montreal. He was highly recommended as a classy outfielder and a fine hitter. He show ed some great fielding In the South with the club but failed to hit. The White Sox have taken outfelders from the Tigers before. They got Matty Mclntyre and he made them a good man jor awhile. They got Schaller last season and he lasted onlv part of the yead, going to the Pacific Coast where he is now Tom Fitzsimmons is the next man slated to go He had the impossible task of heating Donie Bush out of his lob at short He is slated to Join the Sacrament" club of the Pacific Coast League He is a cracking good short stop as far as his fielding is con cerned and he is improving in his bat tine right along There is nothing new in regard to Comstock, Reynolds, Cavet and Claud Williams, the doubtful pitchers among the Tigers. Two or three of them are to go. but they haven't been placed as yet and until they are Manager Jen nings is keepihg mum about what he thinks of them except that they are ail showing improvement right along. Jean Dubuc looked good in his 13- inning game against the Browns His slow ball was fine and he had excel lent control. He threw his knee out while working in the box. It bother ed him a great deal ' all during the latter part of the game. It was fear ed that his old injury would return. However, he appeared for his work outs daily after a rest of a couple of days and was able to act as relief Sunday, and is due for his regular turn from now on. He had his knee bandaged up to protect it. It was bandaged so tightly that when lie twisted it and threw' one of the liga ments out he couldn’t get it back again. He can usually throw it right back. NATIONAL LEAGUE Cincinnati 13; Chicago 1. Chicago.—Cincinnati defeated Chicago 13 to 1 in the final game of the series here yesterday.

He at once called a meeting of the officers of his battalion, which is the Third Battalion, First Infantry. Na tional Guard of Georgia. Present at the conference were Capt.

Clarence Levy, of the same Oxford Won International Four Mile Relay Championship Race By One Foot Philadelphia.—Oxford University of England, won the four-mile college re lay championsh p of America from the University of Pennsylvania here today in the most sensational finish ever seen in that event in the seventeen yars the race has been run on Franklin field. The English team won the remarkable race by a scant eight inches. Jackson, Olympic 1,500-metre champ ion, the anchor man of the English team, was pushed to the limit of human endurance by McCurdy, of Pennsylva nia, the two-mile inter-collegiate champ ions, and fell into the arms of his sup porters as he breasted the tape. The race was run in a heavy rain and the time, 18minutes, 5 seconds, for the four-mile record for the Pennsylvania THE MORNING WITH THE RECORDER Alec Hightower, colored, wax said to have violated the 690th section of the Code. Some months ago he bought a pair of shoes 115.50) and a suit of clothes (price unknown) and signed a "receipt” for them. He * has been paying a dollar every once in a while ever since. The last payment he made was on April. 6th. Now yes terday, being Friday and one day re moved from pay-day, two white men came to his house while he was not there and began foreclosing on his furniture. (Alec, not being able to read, was unaware that the "Receipt” he had signed was a mortagage on 1 Red, 1 Dresser, 1 Wash-stand, 2 Ta bles, 5 1-2 Chairs, and 11 Pictures.) His wife, when she saw what the white men were doing, remonstrated with them not to take her furniture the very day before pay-day. Bhe said she would be able to pay the dollar today (Saturday). Hhe said she would send for her husband and try to get the money now. But the white men were obdurate and proceeded to movo wash-hand-stand out into the yard. And his wife thereupon sent for Alec anyhow. Just in case. Alec arrived m'.i out of breath from his work Just as the white men were moving the dresser out onto the porch He was utterly demoralized at seeing his household goods being taken from under his v"ry nose, "Look here!” he called out "don’t take my furniture out my house!” He laid down his shovel by the gate and ran up th» path. The white men paid no atten- Ition to him, and he caught one of (hern by the waist and pulled him away hurriedly, like a disturbed ani mal uaklng Pack into Its den. He didn’t understand what was happen ing to his furniture, he wasn’t going to let anybody take It away from him. So the white men had him arrested for disorderly conduct, and he ans wered the < harge this morning before Juddge Irvin, lie showed to the court the various receipts which he had. for payments he had made on the clothes and shoes. He couldn’t read himself so that he was not sure how much he still owed, but, Judging from the number of re ceipt*, |t could not have been much. And now, at the last minute, to lose his furniture after having paid all that money was more than he could hear The Recorder’s Court has no Jurls dktlon to see that Alec gets red?ess«d for his wrongs, or that ne he allowed to retain his furniture, all that Judge Irvin could do was to dis miss his case which he did. Appar fntly the law will decree that If the poor negro happen to be physically company; Captain T. C. Jowltt, of the Oglethorpes and Lieutenants W. T. Gary and W. T.
