Sizzling Series With Rejuvenated Cobbmen Opens-Tomorrow With Third Place at Stake" TIGERS NOW LEAD LEAGUE IN HITTNG Walter Johnson Shows Way to 9-2 Victory Over Chi- cago on Sabbath. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. OUR games crammed with ac- - tion are in prospect at Ameri- can League Park starting to- morrow, en the Detroit club makes its initial appearance of the season here.

Pittsburgh was alm of the west when the season began. If Pittsburgh r loses there won't be hope enough left on the hinder side of the Alleghen mountains to put a patch on a bo; trousers.
